Still trying to meet up!
At 12 noon, i sat in a hotel around the city waiting for my new stalker, Tiana Dawson. I glanced at my wrist watch, it was 15 minutes after 12pm. I felt !like i was actually acting abused to wait for someone I've met. I was hoping she did not ditch me.
"Hi, Mr Jordan Khaleefa!"
A feminine voice interrupted my thoughts, I snapped out immediately. I lifted my eyes to meet hers. She was a beauty. The black body con she had on did not hide her curves, she was light skinned and indeed flawless. She krt out a smile but I couldn't return such a smile.
"Bloody Tiana?" I blurted, i was pissed already.
"Tiana!" She corrected. She stretched out her right hand for a handshake but ignored. Ego! God help me. She sat sat on the available seat. She kept her purse, her fingers were studded with rings while her nails were polished in red. Her red lips curved into a tube smile, i took my time to study and observe this young lady before me.
"Would you like anything? A drink?" Sge offered
"Can we go straight to why we're here?" I demanded
"Ah Jordan? Im really baffled that you can't remember me!" She began with a smirk. She beckoned at the waitress and requested for a glass of red wine then turbed to me "I guess you've had alot of women to not remember me or keep track!"
"What's that all about? Who are you, for real?" I asked to clarify my doubts, i was dumb founded which made me wonder the kind of karma it was. She took a sip from the wine before her and smirked again.
"Well, I'll let you find out for yourself soon but for now, we'd enjoy."
"Do you in any way reaslize that you are wasting my time?"
"Am i? I was baffled, again, that you finally got married to someone dear to me." She stated. Someone dare to her, could it be Gianna? I thought inside of me. My face squeezed a bit.
"Wh...What do you mean?"
"You'll find out too." She added again, i was flabbergasted. "Ive got a simple term for you, you wouldn't feel a thing."
"What are you talking about?" I asked
"I'll explain! We've had sex thrice on fixed dates and honestly, i fell in love with you but you were not a man who'd regret and feel is actions anyways, i mean you get what you want every time you ask. I have something you might judy be interested in but before then i'd state my term..."
"What term? I don't even know your ass..." I leaned over a bit not to yell.
"You'd marry!" She blurted out
"You've got to be kidding me!" I smirked, i couldn't believe her rubbish. "I really made a mistake showing up, certainly!"
"Are you daring me or what exactly 'coz i want to be dared!"
"I dare your ass, do your worse!" I stood up to leave
"If you leave Jordan, be prepared for the worse then!" She added without a scare.
I briskly walked out of the hotel then heated to my car. I rested my head on the steering for some seconds to think. I couldn't recall who this woman was, not a glance or glimpse of it.
I wanted to dial Jeff and Lamar but then I reasoned that i don't have to run to them trying to fix my problem, i shoukd handle it myself, i thought.
I started the engine and sped away. My phone buzzed then i answered
"Hey babe!"
"Hey! I uhm, i just wanted to tell you that i'd be at the airport to get a friend ok?" She snappsd
"Oh ok! I'll see you at the house." I added hung up.
I drove home immediately
An hour later,
I was restless, pacing back and front. I wondered if Tiana really meant all the things she said to me earlier. How could i be so careless, the worse of it was i couldn't reminder not even strand on her hair. I heard the soft knock of the door.and i suspected it to be Gia, i accept. Jane tilted her head then she came in
"Excuse me Sir, Madam Gia asked if you could come down to see her friend? Please?"
"I..I..I Er, I'd be there in seconds. Just you!" I instructed
"Yes sir!" She walked out of the room. I took a deep breath and exhaled. I took a sweat white shirt and headed dwb the stairs. Ibsaw Gia sitting alone waiting, then i asked.
"Hey!" We kissed swiftyly. "Where's your friend?" I smiled
"Oh her! She went over to the car to get something."
"A'ight! Did you eat something? I'd ask Gia to prepare some food you know!" I suggested rubbing her belly lightly.
"Baby! I'm not hungry! We actually took a big at the restaurant. Don't worry about us, little baby and i are f?" She coaxed with a smile.
"Alright then! I was only checking on you that's all." I said then she smiled beautifully.
"Sorry i took for...ever...." I heard someone say, Gia turned.
To my shock, Tiana was standing right there. His smiled "Its ok, Tee! You've got some stories to share!" Gia teased and they both laughed. I am good as dead if any of these she said was true, i said to myself. Gia tucked me lightly eotg her eyes fixed on Tiana.
"So Tiana, this is my husband...Jordan Khaleefa..." Gia began
"...is that even necessary?" I shrugged turning away. I knew instantly that Gianna felt dismayed, she tucjed my arm a bit.
"Im really..." Gia said
"Its ok, Gianna! I totally understand!" Tiana said then turned to me "My apologies, Jordan. Did i upset you? Ive always wanted to meet with the famous Lion's cub and i think today is a lucky day!"
"Really?" I asked still shrugging
"You don't believe me huh! I'm really excited that you made my baby girl happy, I'm happy for the both of you! Sincerely!" She placed her palm on the chest and off again
"Gia? Who's this girl?" I asked
"Baby?" Gia called in distress
"She's not welcomed, i want her out." I instructed Sternly
I walked away.
"Jane would show you your room, Tee! Don't worry!" I heard Gia say to Tiana.
"Alright Gianna. Take your time!" Tiana added, definitely with a smirk.
I entered ourmbedroom as Gia came in running as fast as she could.
"Jordan!" She held my abruptly
"Could you be a lot more careful with my child?" I cautioned
"Oh, now you care for the child you neglected? You are ridiculous! What was that stunt you pulled out there? What was that?" She asked, she looked angry in no time. She yelled abd ingot tensed and angry too.
"She's not welcomed here Gia, better accept that!"
"That's a joke right? I told you about this a week ago, she'd be here for only two weeks and that's it. She flew over four me, we got alot of work to do!" She explained.
I was reminded like a flash within some seconds. How on earth can i convince her about Tiana's stay not being compatible.
"What ever it is you got going on in your should get out already, wherecs she gonna stay if i send her out? You tell me?" She asked
"Babe, there are alot of options out there. She could lodge in any hoel of her choice, I'd handle the petty bills but she's not staying here and that's final!" I instructed but with the look on her face, i knew she was not buying or obeying it.
"Ok Mister, this Mistress right here..." She pointed at herself in exaggerated "...would not obey your commands this and her friend is not moving out too. Puleeezzzz!" She said sarcastically
"You're unbelievable! Are you disrespecting me over a slut? Do you have any idea who she is, do you?" I stirred
"You don't wanna know! She's a good and kindhearted girl, she's been with me ever since i started my cosmetics so don't act all knowing, you literally don't Jordan!" She added defensively
"This girl you call a friend is the same girl i met earlier, she phoned me last night....that call that got you infuriated...she's the same Tiana you were mad about last night!" I explained briefly. She laughed hysterically. Of course, what was i expecting. She held un to my arms gently
"Baby? When you try to sabotage someone, try to be smart with that. I love you so much and because of that, im stuck on with you which i prefer so don't let Tiana's stay hurt you. I promise you that we'd go far away with work but I'd also be here with you whenever! Hmm?" She smiled tightly, this seemed more like mockery than honesty.
"Are you really going against me, babe?" I asked
"No, I'm not!" She snapped "I would never but you promised that i can let her in, besides you'd be frequenting Jeff and Lamar's more often, your words not mine....did you forget?" She cupped my chin "Baby please, don't go hard on me. She'd be here for only two weeks or less. I work very you know it so I'd try to hasten up every work we got...please?" She innocent suddenly and this was getting me weakened especially to the fact that i had no reason for Tiana not stay when i promised Gianna way back. How on eath did inlet this woman know me too much. I held her knuckles and continued
"Gia? I understand that i agreed to this out of negligence, you are pregnant and everything work can be delegated. You don't believe i met with her earlier? I wish i could prove it, she was the lady who called my phone last night. Believe me. She can't stay here, ok? Please babe!" I explained again
"Why? You've not given me a good a reason to send her out! There's none sinit would bbe wicked for me to send her out, she flew over for me...i was the reason she showed up. Remember, Mom tells us to be of good courtesy...Jordan please?" She was now acting like a child who needs candy. I had no authentic to tell gianna not to welcome Tiana, my excuses were indeed flimsy and unreasonable.
"Fine..." I said in distress, i did this for Gia alone. She leaped in joy abd gave me a hug.
"Thanks alot baby, you're the best. I'll let Jane prepare dish some food right away..." She added
"No! You should do it...." I countered
"I'm pregnant remember?" She teased
"But not handicapped, your words not mine!"
"Fine!!!!".she groaned. "I'll do just that! I love you baby!" She kissed me swiftly and walked out instantly
I sunk into the bed instantly, what would i do! Was the question i asked myself. I may have gone intimate with Tiana thrice but awakening my dirty past was unbearable especially now that im married, l'd have to explain my previous intentions to my present intentions, if i was still single then I'd always have a way around a devil like Tiana but now? Gianna would slit my throat! I thought about my friends, they'd only jilt me before finding a way out for me. I sighed in distress. Why do i have to face such tribulation, i felt i was doomed.
Growing up as a teen, father would always find a way around my problems and mother always try to defend my cause but now, I'm a grown ass man enough to handle his problems, that's exactly what I'd do.
