Chapter 113: Sliding into something!

Sliding into something

  "So tell me, what do you think about this place?" She asked.

This was the exact beach Darkie and i visited years ago and it feels like she departed from me just yesterday, i can't erase such feeling so easily. How could i possibly erase such memories when the venues reoccur daily?! I was out of the world thinking about something differently when she tucked me lightly on the arm.

  "Jordan? Are you lost again?" She teased then she laughed "I look too hot to make you loose it huh?! I'm kidding." She said

  "What's so special about this place?" I asked, we needed to digress from such unwanted conversations. We sat on the sand instead looking right into the water as it swirls while the breeze blew in total rumination.

  "Oh yeah! I...I have long wanted to visit the beach h with someone i really love, it has always been a wish. People say beaches connects and reconnects and i think i so much believe that!"

 "That's cool! I actually don't think you need specifics to connect or reconnect, i think it could happen just anywhere." I said "In my own terms though!" I added

  "That's acceptable but we all have precepts we stick to." She said. I agreed with her but she was driving at something different which i understood. We looked straight into the water then she turned to me with a faint smile, i wondered what must be doing through her mind. I focused on the water instead regretting my affirmations to this meeting. I wanted a time out but this was driving elsewhere, what I'm treating to avoid. She wouldn't give up staring at the side of my face then i turned to her since it was unbearable for me.

As soon as i did, she kissed me then i refrained immediately.

  "Meghan! We shouldn't do this, I've got to go!" I said politely. I was cold towards her and i couldn't tell why. I stood up then she joined in as well, she was disappointed.

  "Jordan! I know it happened so fast but you can give us a try, we'd work it out trust me. Forget about the nasty things i did at the restaurant, i was only being naughty but for real, I'm into you! Will it be appropriate..." She held my face on both sides with both palms and continued "...if i say that i want you...i want to be with you Jordan..." She tried to convince me then i held her hands gently placing then beneath. 

  "I'd be faking it if i let this happen! Im sorry for being disrespectful anyways possible but this cannot happen. We can't work! I love someone else!" I turned to leave then she asked

  "Why are you rphurting me for the third time? Am i that ugly and unbearable, am i that bad or something?"

  "No you ain't but...i just can't do what you want! What er has before was simply illusion, they are not real! We wanted the same thung and we got it but right now, its different! Er need to leave all of this behind and move on. I wish i could give a better response to this but i can't..." I clarified politely as possible because karma these days are really on the hunt. One mistake results to karmic principle, negative or not.

  "Jordan..." She called out in a broken voice

  "Im sorry, Meghan!" I walked out of sight instantly.

I wasn't proud of neglecting her sincere feelings if they were but i was proud of not colliding into her ship of lust. I was turned on by the nasty things she did repeatedly but i had to stay put. The moment my head redirects me to Meghan, my heart Raced for Gianna. I could conscious. If we were in a room or privy then i really don't know if I'd win or lose the race game.

I stormed into my empty house with a good number or thoughts bombarding my mind. I closed the door brhind then my phone buzzed, my friends initiated a video call.

  "What's up guys!" I sat on the couch for a while

  "Look at you! How's it going?" Jeff asked

  "It must be hard, we know that! You just got to keep the fire burning!" Lamar assured. I rubbed my forehead in distress also sighing heavily.

  "Thanks guys. She'd return anytime soon!" I added

  "That's certain 'coz you're certain! Where have you been! You stay shirtless every time so what changed?" Jeff figured correctly then i smiled

  "I was out with Megan!" I blurted

  "What Meghan? Which Meghan?" Lamar asked

  "Meghan Mason! My secret girlfriend from way back! Y'all remember right?" I explained

  "You're such whore, Kareem?! After all these years you found her and you acted calm and silent! You're such a bad guy for real!" Lamar teased as we laughed. I walked upstairs then i heard the shower running from my bedroom

  "Sorry guys i got to go! My shower's running cat and dogs!" I explained. I was certain that i turned off my shower, i was certain about that. I always switch it off.

  "You got someone in your crib tonight, so unholy Kareem!" Jeff teased, we all laughed.

  "I've just got to check it out!" I walked into my room confidently as always then  i turned to the direction of my bathroom and there i saw someone i never expected would surface. Lorraine. My towel was wrapped around her chest as she walked out stylishly with a smile, she seemed happy then she untied the towel ad it fell to the ground. She was nude, completely nude.

  "Guys...I'll just...call...call y'all back! I've got a problem right here!" I said

  "What problem?" They asked in unison but i hung up.

  "What are you doing here, Lora! Cover up! Close your shit, man!" It was enticing but i wasn't impressed at all. She ran to me instead trying to caress and kiss her lips then i pushed her to the bed. She screamed. I threw towel at her to cover up but she neglected, this is more like trouble than pleasure.

  "Jordan! Why are you extremely stubborn?" She hopped down from the bed and smirked then lazily wrapped the towel around her. "Since you hate surprises then I'll tell you what's up! I am carrying your child! We are having a baby, isn't that awesome?" She blurted out then i froze instead.

  "A baby?" I asked with uncertainty

  "Yes! We are! A dream come through!" She cuddled my face with smile.

  "No we are not! You can't be pregnant for me Lorraine, thats a pathological lie. I won't believe that and no one would do don't waste any more time!" I clarified being unshaken.

  "I got the test results and guess what, i already announced the good news to our parents. You have no choice than to take responsibility as a man. You can't always run from me, a baby will rekindle..." She blurted

  "...just shut the hell up!" I yelled at her then she got upset "Are you trying to impose this 'coz there's no way you're carrying my child. Id love to have a child but not through you...i mean...C'mon Lora! Stop lying to everyone! Hmm!" 

  "You think I'm lying? I won't leave New york to Miami for a folktale, will i? We had sex Jordan..." She reminded

  "Just one time!" I specified

  "That one time could get a woman pregnant, you know science don't you?! Its time you accept me and our child into your life because there's absolutely no way you'd throw us out!" She sat on the bed upset. I sighed. From one trouble to another, i survived a lust fest and then i bump into a baby fest? I asked myself. Life's totally unfair. If Gianna would say the same then its a graceful bet but not Lorraine. I didn't even think about such possibilities but i was certain that i didn't go overboard. I tuned to her finally.

  "If you insist then its cool..."

  "...Im not insisting!" She corrected 

  "Let me finish! I'd accept your child as mine but you wouldn't live her with me. I'd buy a luxurious apartment to your taste until the child is born and don't even think of us getting married, I'm getting married to Gianna!" I stated. She was shocked at my opinions. "That's right! Preparations have begun so...didn't they tell you about it? Too bad!" I walked ti the closet with a smile. "You'd have my bed for tonight but not forever. As early as 7am, we'd get a house for you! Fair enough!" I turned away

  "You're heartless, Jordan! How could you be so reckless, its not my fault that..." She said angrily and stopped.

  "Am i? You should've realized that weeks ago! You seduced me but not again. If this was your plan to hang around me then you really don't know me Lorraine. I know fully well that this child isn't mine but i wouldn't argue much! We'll see about that in nine months to come!" I finalized.

She was silent and reluctant but i made my point very clearly and i think it sunk.

I was really certain that this was a set up but no one would believe me until the child is born. I wasn't bad at the baby but I was mad at Lorraine for being dishonest to me.

A week later,

Everything i instructed Lorraine was carried out successfully, no one could question my actions simply because i wouldn't listen to no suggestions. I wasn't giving up on my search for Gianna but the more i tritrache harder it got to trace her. I was sometimes slack and active and sometimes average. My friends had shown their immense support and even the securities but it just turned out abortive. Everyday was like an added burden to my lofe without Gianna right beside me. 

I missed her touch, her glow, her smile, her embrace, her soft words, her silent whispers, everything about her and now she was no where close to my reach. She'd be disappointed to hear about Lorraine and i but i was focused on finding her first. I had to tell my friends about everything aand they affirmed to my decisions. My father had to call on me secretly at golf to talk things over but i told him the truth instead.because i felt that was a man like me.

I droe to Lorraine's to check up on her which was a part of our agreement,i heaved a heavy sigh before stepping in. I didn't know whether i was excited to be devoted or honest or distressed over the task?! I knrw had to take responsibility for my actions and beside i could handle it but i wasn't really comfortable with the fact that my child had come through her. I walked headjng uas the midwife approached in doubtful look.

  "Good day, Mr Jordan!" She greeted with a smile 

  "Yeah! Uh! Where's Lorraine?" I asked instead of completely the Salutations "Is is ok?"

  'Of course! She's doing really well, even lately!" She assured. I made an attempt to proceed as she stopped me "Sir, She's asleep!". She blurted out but i was baffled at that response so i turned to her slowly

  "Do you realise that i hired you to watch her and keep your mouth? I placed you here so i could also throw you out! I'd appreciate it if you mind just....just your business!" I warned. She affirmed with a nod apologetically. I proceed to Lorraine's room but the chuckles passed a different message, i assumed her to be on the phone. I badged in but what i saw shocked me. She was resting het head on a guy's chest while he kissed hrr randomly which let to those chuckles. I didn't know hoe to react because a part of me really didn't care but the part was concerned, it was my house and my child abd some one had to be in here with her rubbing on her belly?! I thought to myself. They froze. Lorraine hurriedly dropped from running to me while hhe was reluctant.

  "Is this what this is about? All of this?" I began scolding

  "No jor....Jordan! I cxab explain..." She said

  "Is he your man?" i asked them turned to him instantly "Talk to me like a man, are you here man?!"

  "C'mon what's up? Who are you?" He asked me abd i felt insulted already. I turned Lorraine

  "You're cartyu my child and this it? Im feeding my child, your ass and his ass too?" I flared

  "Wait i don't understand, who's child?" That man asked Lorraine "you're carrying my child not another!" He turned to me "Look man, i really don't know whats going on but this is my child and o can't tell why she lied. Im going to have to deal with that later!" He explained to  me "Lets go!"

  "Er...Jordan? Andy?" She called out to nkill the tense

  "You know what, there's no need for that! You could actually keep everything because i see you love him and he loves you so there's need for us to lie to ourselves! Im n happy that you found your peace! You know that what we tried to have wad basically our parents choice not ours....its officially over, we're done!" I explained too

  "Look man, sorry about everything. I can afford her so...." Andy said

  "Im not disputing! She didn't have to bring a man over, thats insane!" I explained because he felt overridden

  "Thats right! She'll answer to me, don't worry about that! Sorry!" Andy pleaded on her behalf. He scolded calmly and i had no reason to be mad. 

  "Jordan im sorry..." She apologized too. I hugged her tightly as a friend BBB that she's been not a promiscuous lover. I f she had a man then why did she have to strip naked around me that other day?! I thought but ignored since it was now over.

  "We both wanted this. Its not your fault! I still want Gia though!" I teased but she laughed "Best wishes. Tell me when i can help out!"

  "Sure!"

  "Best wishes man, she's a great girl!" I said to Andy with a pat on the shoulder

  "Thanks!" He smiled in return then i walked out excitedly. It felt like i was finally a free man with no marriage procedures except for Gianna who has turned me cold around her. I wanted ner every second tgat i love by but she was totally no where to be found, it still hurts. Before I fell in love, i didn't have to be concerned about anything like that and now that I've fallen in love, it feels like its time to pay much bigger sacrifices just to earn it.
