CHAPTER 76

Currently I didn't really have any friend. I mean I used to but now we all just chat on Facebook. I guess we were still friends or whatever. Just that we were no longer close again.

I never got to see them anyway. Six years in school with them and now all I just wanted was to focus on myself and my life and make new friends hopefully. Even though I only ended up making new enemies.

Because of the believe that love wasn't real which I had through out half my teen life I didn't allow myself to be attached to any one of them, but my mum didn't need to know that.

I had lied to her that I was going to see a friend and she just let me go after warning me to stay safe. I'm sure she just wanted me to have fun after all I had gone through yesterday.

As for my dad he still hasn't returned after that day when he tried to force me to port-hardcourt again. Just like I suspected then he had another woman and he was definitely going to stay with her until she has drained all there is of him both physically and emotionally then he would return empty to my mom and continue to disgrace us.

This time I didn't feel sorry for my mum though. She gave him all the audacity.

I cast thoughts of him aside. After all it was not as if I missed him.

I was excitedly started skipping to the junction. A rush of adrenaline coercing through me for reasons I couldn't tell or didn't want to tell.

On getting there I found Scar sitting under a small stall which was not open. He had a hoodie over his head now most probably to his Scars.

I walked over to him still excited.

I was breathing heavily courtesy of me jogging my way here.

I had been so anxious to meet him, to be with him again that I had not stopped a second even to catch my breath.

Well I was paying the consequences of it now I could barely breathe.

It felt so weird wanting to be with him so much.

I was trying so hard to fight it but he was so magnetic.

Everything about him was pulling me closer and closer to him no matter how much I wanted to run from him at that point.

I found myself standing in front of him with a broad smile on my face that I couldn't just stop. I was still trying to catch my breath as I stared at him inhaling and exhaling softly.

"You came faster that I expected." He smiled, looking up at me through his hoodie.

"Were you waiting for someone else?" I asked rolling my eyes. Outside I looked so unbothered but inside it suddenly felt like someone was clenching my heart with a strong arm.

However, I knew that I was not jealous.

He stood up with a sigh and pulled me close to him his hands draped around my shoulder.

I tried to get away from his grip but he held on to me tight. He ruffled my hair that I had so neatly combed behind my back.

I giggled and tried to get out of his grip, but again he didn't let me go.

I looked up at him with a frown but I couldn't sustain the frown when he smiled up at me. "Don't scatter my hair!" I whined.

"I can only wait for you." He was grinning so wide now I felt my lips give in to a smile. "Just you."

"Men lie a lot you know so I wouldn't take your word for it." I said, scrunching my nose up at him.

I was trying so much to avoid the fluttering feeling in my heart as if I had just been giving a present.

He threw his head back in laughter.

"I am no ordinary man Reina. Soon you will realize it. Now come I want to show you something." He urged taking my hands in his. I wanted them over my shoulders, but I was too shy to say it.

My pride always wins in situations like this

We walked a short distance down the street until we found an almost lonely street. Here was where rich men lived. You barley saw anybody walking aimlessly in the estate and there were no stores to facilitate gossip.

You could also not go in if you were not invited because of the security men that were positioned at the big black gate.

Scar started pulling me closer and closer to to the Estate and I squeezed his hands forcing him to look at me.

He didn't know the area like I did, hence I felt the need to warn him.

"We can't go into that estate. The security men won't let us in." I informed him, my eyes widening in fear. I didn't want trouble with anybody.

"Not only would they let us in but they will serve us." Scar smiled, as he continued to lead me towards the gate despite my fickle protest.

I couldn't deny the face that I wanted a bit of adventure and that was a big push for me.
