Chapter 16

I couldn't stop thinking about him yesterday, I even had a dream about him proposing to me. God, why did I dream about a married man?

"Mam, your mum is on the line", Zoey says disturbing my wonderful thoughts. I take the phone from her and answer.

"Hello mother", I say in the most adorable voice.

" Hello, my child. How are you?"

"I'm fine mum and you?"

" I'm much better than yesterday. How was your party? Did you enjoy it?"

" Yes, mum I enjoyed it a lot. The party was good, simple and nice. I loved it"

It is only your husband who tried to ruin it but he didn't succeed.

"That is good, I wanted to..." She suddenly went silent.

" Mother? Are you still there? Hello?"

Is she having her visions again?

"Blood. I see blood Aphile. A lot of blood and someone crying for help"

Oh, God! This one is bad. Please protect me, I don't want to die.

God, why did you let mother have this gift?

Don't panic! Don't panic!

My hands are sweaty, my heart is beating fast and I can feel the sweat on my face.

Don't panic.

But whose blood is this? Who's going to get hurt? God, please protect my family and friends.

"Mum, it's okay stop crying. It is bound to happen, we can't control it and it is going to happen today or tomorrow. Please be careful"

" Yes, and you also take care of yourself. I'll call you later"

" Bye"

God, please protect everyone that I love.

"Morning Lee", I look up and see my friends sitting down. V and Tristan both sit next to me.

"Good morning", I greet back.

My eyes wander around looking for him.

Where is he? Why is he not here yet?

"Are you looking for Xavier?" I look at him and nod.

" Yes Landell, where is he?" I ask, I'm feeling guilty about yesterday's conversation.

"He left, you told him to leave you alone right?" She says with attitude.

Moody sister!

I carry on eating and minding my business.

"Baby I'm pregnant", a voice suddenly says making everyone stop eating and look at each other.

V is pregnant?

"Will you marry me?" Tristan sighs before asking.

We are going to have a baby in our group.

"Congratulations guys. I'm so happy for you", I say breaking the silence and side hugging them.

"So she is pregnant and they are getting married? I have to prepare. Oh my Lee, congratulations guys. We are having a baby and a married couple in our group. Congrats", Jessy squeals excitedly, she stands up and hugs both of them.

"How far are you?"

"Good question Landell. How many months?"

" Jessy, I'm three months pregnant", so she will start showing next month? Perfect.

"You still haven't answered my question"

" Oh come on Tristan you know the answer. She will marry you. Chill! We are going shopping", Landell shouts dragging V out.

" I'm happy for you Tristan, you are going to be a good dad"

" Thanks, Lee. I'll see you later guys I have to go", he stands up and kisses our foreheads then walks out.

After a few minutes, I gather courage and ask for Jeremiah's number.

"Don't call him today", she says.

Why shouldn't I call him?

"Is he at his house or uncle Nathan's house?"

I have to talk to him in person.

"At daddy's house", she shouts making me smile.

She is hiding something from me.

" Thanks, I'll go now", I say standing up, she grabs my hand.

"Don't go today, you can't talk to him today. He is busy"

Why doesn't she want me to see him?

"I'm sorry but I won't listen to you and I'm taking your car and please start cleaning the house it's dirty. Bye!" I grab my phone, and her car keys and left.

I walk out, got inside her car, and drive off. After thirty minutes I was at her dad's place, outside being terrorized by the bodyguard.

After a while, a voice says behind him.

"Let her in", uncle Nathan my savior.

" Thanks, uncle, I was nearly going to be searched by your guard", I drive inside and park the car.

" He is new here and it is his job to search you", he says helping me out of the car.

"Right! How are you, uncle?" I ask as we walk side to side towards the mansion.

I missed him, he wasn't even on my birthday and I found out he is Jeremiah's dad.

"I'm fine and how are you?"

"The same as usual", I said.

" I'm sorry we couldn't attend your party but don't worry we have your gifts sent to your house right now", best uncle ever.

" Thanks, uncle I love you", I side hug him.

" Anything for you honey", he pinches my cheeks and kisses my forehead.

Mr. Nathan is a nice man, he cares for me like I'm his daughter. He is a father figure to me and I love him. It would have been nice if he was my mum's husband.

"Uncle, is Jeremiah here?" I ask avoiding eye contact.

" Yes, he is in his room", he smiles and mouths his daughter-in-law. I blush red.

"I need to ask him something. Is he busy?" He shook his head and lead me inside.

Aunt Silva comes in singing and then stops when she sees us

"Hello Leona, I'm so glad you are here. Have you met my son? You two will make a great couple. Xavier is in his room, go meet him", is she trying to pair me up with her son?

I can't help but blush.

"We are sorry we didn't come to your party we were very busy but we sent gifts", I remember how they were having sex that day.

"Uncle told me, Aunt, thanks. Which way is Jeremiah's room?" I hope they don't get that idea.

" The fifth room on your left upstairs"

" Thanks", I smile and walk upstairs. My heart is beating fast and I'm nervous.

Turning to my left I see four men in black standing there looking all scary. How will I pass them?

Why does he have men in black inside the house?

They won't allow me to go to his room. I know how to fight, Jessy taught me, but they are big for me and they have experience. I can't fight them, but I can sprint to his room.

One. Two. And go.

I ran as fast as I could and pass them. They were still shocked by my stunt. As I run I count each door I pass and now I'm on the fifth door.

"Catch her she is going to the boss's room. Catch the girl", I don't know who said that but they are right behind me.

I quickly open the door and went inside. I look around and he is not there.

Where is he? I can't run that fast for nothing!

A door opens and I shiver in fear, but soon relax when I see him walking out only in a towel wrapped around his waist.

"We have to talk", I say, he turns to see me and has a shocked look on his face, he looks behind him and back to me.

He has a guilty face on.

Two beautiful woman walks out wearing only bathrobes. One has big boobs and the other has average boobs.

And he says he loves me! Ha!
