Someone has been knocking on my door for the past thirty seconds. For fuck sakes can't I just sleep peacefully, I have been working since morning, can't they just let me be, I glanced at the clock , past three, I have been working for the past eight hours and she won't stop banging on my door. I stood up out of frustration and open the door
yep it was none other than my stepmom
What took you so Long to open the damn door huh..." She said anger visible in her voice.
I...I .was" she cuts me off
Shut up, ...anyways I'm not here for you, I would have slapped your ugly face this instant but I don't want to ruin my plan...so put on shabby cloths cuz your fiance wants to spend some sily time with you, so get your ass moving and get ready to meet him fool" she said and shot the door on my face.
Um hello it's my freaking door witch .my brain screamed. ughrrr.
I dressed up and when I got outside a car was already waiting for me
WOW, I thought.
'please come in ma'am, the boss is waiting for you , the driver said coming out of the car and opened the door for me, I just shrugged and entered I would meet my so called fiance today.
I was thinking about the kind of person I would meet when the door open. I was so lost in my thought that i didn't know when the car stopped.
I alighted from the car and....
A park, I voiced out
I was really surprised cuz I love going to the park does this stranger know a lot about me.
Just how much does he know.
Please go straight ma'am you'll meet the boss, the driver said bringing me out of my thought
'okay thank you, I said and gave him a warm smile, I scanned the place and moved forward. Not long I saw the back of a man not far way from the swing, he had a broad shoulders , he is fair and pretty tall ...why does he looks so familiar....all of a sudden he turned around....I was shocked to see who it was
Luke I muttered, and he gave me a warm smile, God I missed that smile.
Come here' he said as he spread his arms , I ran to him and hugged him like my life depends on it like he was the oxygen I needed to breathe, like he was my soul
I missed this ,I missed him,God he smells so nice
I missed you so much Iris' he said as he hugs me tightly,please don't let go of me I prayed mentally.
I missed you too I replied and he broke the hug, God I was crying.
Why are you crying ' he asked me worriedly.i smiled and said
It's tears of joy, I'm just so happy.and he nodded in understanding. He stare at me up and down, I know what that is
Wow you look more beautiful than before,guess I was right" he teased and I almost blushed.
He still has that effect on me, my heart is beating so fast right now believe me, can it ever stop beating for him.
Did I just see you blush
No' I denied this fucker playboy
You did
No I didn't
Yes you did
No I didn't blush
Just admit you did bloom
Ughrrr fine you won, he always called me that one of his old habit
But really Iris,what happened, I lost total contact of you, I tried calling you or getting through to you but it seemed impossible and ...I'm sorry I couldn't attend your mother's burial I really wish I could but my dad block all possible ways of coming, I'm so sorry and this is coming from the bottom of my heart he said.
It's fine it's in the past now' I'm sure I'm crying now he held my face up and wiped my tears
What really happened please don't cry you know I don't like seeing you in tears talk to me
' a lot happened Luke a lot...'he lead me to the bench and we sat down and he signalled me to go on and I continued.
When my mom died everything changed my dad treats me like a piece of shit and my stepmom and rose always maltreated me, I was treated like a slave , I couldn't do anything I just cried and cried and cried
For the past five years I have been suffering my life has been a total mess' I faced him and said
They seized my phone and that is why you couldn't contact me..I just wished my mom was alive, I said as I cried he moved closer and hugged me
It's fine stop crying, I want you to know that all that has come to an end and I want you to know that when I am with you nothing will happen to you and also you are not going back to that place, you'll stay with me till the wedding so please I beg you stop crying ' I stopped crying and faced him
Wait a minute how come you are the one here...why are you here you are not suppose to be here why are you..' I asked confused he can't be the man they are talking about right definitely not.
If that is what you are thinking about then you are right I'm the one you are waiting for...
I want us to talk about it I want to know if you really want this marriage, cause I don't want to force any woman to marry me and you are not an exception iris , if you have some one out there then so be it I'll solve it, I just need to know ' he said staring at me softly.
Do I have someone out there...
. Luke pov
I don't know why I said that because I know I wouldn't be able to handle it if she doesn't want this marriage, cause I so badly want it
Please don't love someone else I prayed subconsciously.
Well..I ..I do I love someone she responded.
' ooohh" I said out of disappointment
Hmm..so..who is the lucky guy' I asked nervously, she stared at my face for some seconds before she responded.
It's.. it's you' she said fiddling with her finger
Wait what did she just say now ..no way I need to hear that again
I'm sorry I didn't hear that, can you please repeat what you just said now" I swear I'm going nuts
I said it's you..the person I'm talking about is you Luke..I always had feelings for you, you the most kind sincere and generous person I have ever met I couldn't help it,I was scared to confess though, but since it looked like you wanted friendship only, I kept it to myself ' she said, I can't believe she feels the same way, I chuckled.
Friendship, and who told you that is what I wanted, I Luke Anderson has never loved any other woman than you believe me. I just didn't want my feelings to jeopardize our relationship, so I kept it a secret' I replied and held her cheeks with my palms
Iris i love you okay,..do you love me I asked.
Yes..I do..I love you ,she responded and I pecked her check
That is all I need to hear, okay let's start afresh I want to spend more time with you we have been separated for five years, and as I said earlier, you're not going back there you are coming with me' I said and she nodded in agreement
I glanced around, it's getting dark
It's getting pretty dark, shall we go home
We held hands and left
I'll make sure those people pay for everything they did to her, they'll so regret it.
I'm the happiest man on earth now....
