Chapter 114: Craving for Gia!

Craving for Gia!

I was fully distressed since its been weeks Gia never ever showed up. Mother was a cause but I realised that Gia could at least come around or take my calls, reply my texts or something but she never did and that made me feel even worse. She knew I'd always support and hassle for her but why hasn't she returned yet? I thought to myself. I was angry at her as well. I inspected my mother to plan a flamboyant wedding for Gia and then when preparations have been completed, Gia's still not found and makes me hopefully that I'd find her in a really short while yet everyone thinks I'm crazy or delusional. All these questions and no answers erupted in a blink. What do i do?!

I sat on my bed with a glass of Scottish whisky but then after some gulps i threw the content and glass to the floor because i was simply infuriated. I was too lonely and maybe I should've allowed Yeesha come around because i thought that i could handle my serenity.

I sat as shirtless as always staring around my chandeliers, closets with a thousand outfits and shoes, the lamp stands, the wall clock, the vases and painting, everything that could make up a luxurious bedroom I'd say, i stared at them. I did understand there the thick white sheets to sleep after a very long day. I turned off the lamps then i closed my eyes but i couldn't fall asleep as expected even if i wanted a long sleep of a neutral 8 hours, mother would always insinuate that butf father was a night bird so he wouldn't preach something he doesn't do often.

At about 12am, 

I zoomed off without knowing it, i had fallen asleep.

Something strange and mysterious occurred and u couldn't explain the magic and spark. I turned to the right side of the bird for another phase of slumber then i felt someone laying next to me, i don't remember letting anyone in or inviting anyone but i was certain that someone was next to me, asleep, like i was seconds ago. 

I was speculating even in my house, my bed, just who it might bed. I had just one solution, its either i see for myself or call the securities to crown all of this as trespassing.

I resulted to see for myself instead like the man I was. I pulled down the heavy sheets to uncover the face. It was Gianna. I had to look twice again but i know the features of the woman i was in love with so there's no alternative about her. I adjusted to sit up yet i felt like waking her up to explain to me or maybe hug her or kiss her lips or something epic but then i was angry at her already.

Why did i have to worry about her if she could easily break into my house and slide under the sheets falling asleep without my consent. I turned on the lights immediately speculating alone, i rubbed her smooth skin gently then rubbed her hair backwards, i missed this human next to me.

Her eyes opened from the touches. I helped her sit up then i embraced her tightly likewise she too, she missed me too.

We stood still staring at each other for a couple of seconds then i turbed completely to her face. I held her by the knuckles while our eyes met again like new teenagers falling in love at first sight besides the fountains.

  "Why did you leave and never return? You knew I'd always protect you, you knew that i loved you very deeply. You knew that i could do just anything to keep you so...why did you leave me, Gia?" I said calmly. She was silent for some moments and i was ready to wait for her to brace up.

  "I...I...I co...couldn't..." She shattered

  "You couldn't what Gia?" I released her hands lightly then i hopped down from the bed, i was pissed at her actions. I had the rights to. I couldn't state accurately for how long she's been gone but i could tell that she was gone for weeks. She dropped down too, i had a better view of her and the turquoise blue short gown she wore, her blonde was tied with a black ribbon as a ponytail. She was gorgeous as always but i had reasons to not look at that at the moment. She stood in front of me helplessly.

  "I'm really sorry, Jordan! I left because of your mother, she frightened me and i wouldn't say no to her judgements. I was unhappy about the sadness and embarrassment that I've caused you. Who would ever love a stripper like me?! I had to leave hoping you'd definitely find another woman better off for you... You've bought to understand that i did everything i did to save you the trauma...." She explained

  "....Leaving me was enough trauma, Gia! I know that my mother was wrong for treating that way but you could always come home to me, you know that! I gave you the spares..." I scolded as politely as possible. I was really careful not to utter some awful words. She held my arms with her fingers that struggled to fit round my biceps.

  "...Jordan! I left 'coz i was scared but i returned...i couldn't stay away from you anymore." She said while her eyes watered, she held my face suddenly and continued "No man has ever stood up for me like you did. A man like you should be with a girl like you but you chose a poor girl like myself! And..." Her tears dropped in turns yet she continued speaking with a shaky voice almost whispering underneath her breath. "I just want you know that I love very much, Jordan! I just don't know how to prove it..." She confessed. I smirked holding tightly unto her slim Waist, my fancy.

  "Are you sure about that?"

  "...Yes. Yes. Yes. I know that i can't shower you gifts of diamonds or give you a blank Cheque but...im certain about how deeply i love you, Kareem..." She struggled to explain. I was shocked at the fact that she called me 'Kareem',I've long wanted to hear her call me that and she did. "Er...Jordan! Im sorry! It slipped out..." She apologized for calling that name. I smiled at her timidity.

  "Don't ever apologize for being right, especially when it comes to me. Is that ok?" I corrected. She affirmed with a nod. I kissed ger lips swiftly then we hugged tightly. Yhis feeling was exactly one of the things i missed. We hopped in the bed for a proper sleep.

About 07:35am,

I returned home with a smile on my face after hitting the gym! I was yet to tell Gianna about our wedding which was today, she would be flabbergasted and dumb striken. I entered the room while she was still asleep, i dropped a kiss on her forehead then i turned away without knowing if she was awake or not. I took my phone heading to the bathroom. I took my brush and squirted some tooth paste on it tgen i began scrubbing. I dialed mother in the process and it connected like she's been on my mind.

  "Kareem?! I'm for not returning your calls lately, i did not know how to explain to you...." She said in distress then she sighed and continued "....Trust me!..." 

I interrupted instantly

  "...Mom! Just don't bother anymore. My wedding is taking place today!" I briefed

  "Huh? But the invitations..."

  "Mom! Whether or not they avail themselves, i simply don't care. Reach out to them as soon as you, Grandma Carol and her entire family, everyone should be there as promised...they could fly over, thats not hard by the way. Hmm!" I instructed

  "Ok Kareem! Is Gia there already? There's no way you can get married without a bride!" She cautioned correctly

  "That's absolutely my problem to worry about! Tell dad and I'll call Yeesha and my friends. I love you Mom." I said then hung up. She'd be ekated to hear me tell her how much i love her, it's been ages. I texted Yeesha while the toothbrush was stuck to my mouth halfway, Yeesha texted back with some uncountable emojis. I called my friends as well and they were stunned just as i expected but the good thing was they'd definitely be my best men, Yeesha would be her brides' maid, no contempt.

After i dropped my phone, i saw Gianna's reflection throught he mirror tgen i rinsed my mouth immediately turning to her with a grin.

  "Morning baby!" I exclaimed as well hugged but she was frowning slightly. "Are you ok?" I asked

  "Who's getting married? Why are you getting married without letting me know? I shouldn't have returned if you had a choice of woman than myself! Why would you do this to me?" She scolded questioningly. I smiled.

  "Wait until you find out! And besides, there's no harm in getting married to you as a second wife. Its a free world you know!" I taunted

  "Jordan? You are...humiliating me right now?! Why woulf you get married while...while...im here? Like, why am i here? You could easily tell me that you have  got someone made for you! Just when i thought i found that someone then this...this erupts to my face?" She blurted out angrily while i smirked folding my arms instead

  "For how long have you been standing here before i realised?" I asked. Making sure she had no idea about my plans

  "I just heard 'married' in my sleep so i had to come ask! Don't you think i shoiod know about it, like everything?" I asked again in deep concern. I cleared my throat then continued

  "What about you come with me for my wedding, can you?" I asked. It was an impossible task to adk her but i needed to be tricky

  "Why would i? I can't watch you get married to someone else, you know that!" She conuntered instantly

  "Do it for me! I promise to explain later, could you?" I asked holding her slender arms. "For me, baby!"

  "Why should i do that? You don't understand! I cant watch you get married to someone while i watch! I just can't!" She countered again

  "Then you'd come with me to my parents' house while we talk to them, we could change their mind you know! C'mon Gia! Please?" I kissed her face then she smiled shyly.

  "Ok! Jordan this is humiliating, you're getting married!..." She reminded with a slight frown that made her prettier, her dark brows, pink lips and white skin sparkled.

  "That's why you have to come with me! We'll talk to my parents and then who knows!" I coaxed.

3 hours later,

 Gia and i drove to my parents house in some normal casual clothes, nothing gave her a hint. She looked around looking astonished after we pulled over then she asked.

  "Babe? Why do you have lots of golden decors and lights and so many people around working effortlessly?! Like...are you really getting married to someone or is there a ball dance....you know?! I'm not jealous its just that i uh!..." She tried to press her obvious jealousy. I smiled again snuggling her nose.

  "Of course! So if you don't want someone getting married to my helpless self then we'd speak to my parents! I need your help, Gia! This coukd be us taking the spotlight you know!" I coaxed still feigning then she nodded faintly. We walked inside while i held her hands somewhat tightly, the workers around hollered and i responded normally. We met parents makimg several phine calls just as i expected and it seemed promising because of the smiles on their faces. Gianna was a little bit timid but she tried to erase the anxiety into confidence, what i admired.

 Father turned to us instantly ad he sighed us then he exclaimed excitedly.

  "My son?! You're are here! Look at you?!" He hugged us in turns with a handsome smile. We smiled back.

  "Yes Dad! How's the preparations going? How do i help?" I inquired

  "Ah! There's no need for that! This is you getting married so i wouldn't Want you involved in our work, you'd rest and watch us do the work!" He explained "Im very proud of you Kareem! You owned up again!"

  "I learned all that from you!" I said then he walked away to answer a phone ad we walked into the kitchen where mother entered without noticing our presence. I called calmly while she tasted the food the chef was cooking.

  "Mama?" 

She turned to us immediately with a bright smile and we hugged tightly. She hugged Gianna too, i guess the irritation had died down into a mutual feeling. I was excited about that Reaction.

  "I'm really sorry Kareem! I did everything you asked and everything is going ad planned. Carol, Pete, Ada, Eric, Kayla, the twins (Diva and Dwayne) are all coming over! Everyone would be coming through. Judy nad expected!" She explained

  "Of course, I knew they would." I said then I asked again "Aunt Lola?" She shrugged

  "She'd come around, eventually! I hope she does! Lorraine and her fiance would as well. Don't worry because everyone you love would be here to witness your big day!" Mother added

  "So Mama, I'd love Gia to please on my behalf about something important..." I gave mother a signal through the eye and she understood instantl, Gianna was behind me folding her arms patiently hoping it gets better.

  "Gia? You got something to say right know? My son says you do?!" Mother asked firmly. Gianna came forth.

  "Yes Madam!" She looked at me and turned to mother again, i wanted to build her confidence around my mother. I didn't like the timidity ans uncertain fear around my family since she was going to be my wife in hours. Her comfortability mattered to me alot. "I'm asking and pleading if you'd allow Jordan get married to someone he loves! I don't have the right to interfere but don't you think he should choose for himself? I mean..." She rubbed her neck lightly and continued "...He's a man and...i thinkmits appropriate for him to decide on his big day! Im only pleading. Please?" She stopped

  "And why would i do that?" Mother maintained a hard face, still part of our little plan. "He's my son and not yours!"

  "I know madam!" Gianna was confident suddenly, her response depicted such. I was elated. 

  "Then who's that someone for him? If you claim that out preferences are poor and not good enough then who is?" Mother asked with a frown and that was enough intimidation. Gianna looked at me and i affirmed

  "Me!"

  "What?" Mother asked in fake shock

  "Yes me! I love him and he loves me too so i think we're better off than whoever it is! Don't get me wrong but Madam, Jordan loves me. I love him very much! Please do this." Gianna said. Mother hugged her tightly. Gianna was surprised at her sudden change of  reaction.

  "Then you go ahead! I made a mistake and i wouldn't make that mistake again! Welcome to the Khaleefa's!"

  "Thank you so much! I promise to do well!" Gianna added with pretty smile. Mother turned to me again

  "I see how happy you are around her! She's really mad for you!" Mother said to me.

That was the satisfaction i was seeking in a long while, to be at peace with mother and Gianna.

Our wedding was indeed flamboyant. Gianna was shocked at her gown, it was lacy on the edges and arms, the glittering stones sparkled even in the dark, i wish i could explain how pretty Gianna looked, then i would. She wss stunning, how could a stripper and maid look angelic?! I was deeply in love with her undoubtedly. I was surprised that aunt Lola would show up, she apologized and we patched things up. The gifts we received from the McClure's were priceless and even our parents made sure we smiled without tears. 

I was standing beside the fountain with my friends while we discussed about the whole swift.

  "How come you ruined our tri-wedding? We didn't expect this sudden marriage!" Lamar asked rightly

  "I actually thought you'd never get married this year! I mean, you say alot but...i mean, i did not expect this as well. We're proud of you, amigo!" Jeff added

  "Im sorry but I had to get Gianna locked. I couldn't afford to loose her again! Its easy to find girls but not easy to find the one you'd love!" I said reasonably as they nodded "Y'all should work out you preparations next weekend, we need it balanced!" I teased but they agreed to my suggestions.

Everyone wouldn't stop congratulating us until we finally drove to a new home ehere i wanted a while new memory with our unborn children. Gia was blown away. Honey moons would come up in three days, a gift from my parents, how intriguing. We staggered to our bedroom dancing to some Blues then we stopped staring at eachother again. 

  "You are not who i thought you were, Jordan! You gave me a wedding that I've never dreamt off, i always assumed my big wedding to be beside the beach or park....just nothing this big and extravagant. I met people I've never imagined to meet because of you....I'm blown overboards!"

  "I mean it when i said i love you, Gia! I only want you happy! Provide the life you never had, give you waht a woman could ever wish for!" I unstrapped her gown slowly in the dimmed lights while she stood submissive. I took off the golden pins on her because i preferred her blonde hair falling across, she was ready for what ever I had to do with restraints, she helped me undress from my suit to my pants and shirt. The equality was maximum. We stared into our eyes but her captivated me mostly, we fell to the bed with the chill sensation roamimg about the room, our bare bodies jammed while our lips heated to its claim, the night was made for Gia and i. We collided in both our worlds of lust and love, we made love to eachother like it was our last.

She made me feel complete and i admired the fact that she was now my responsibility, woman of my dream, the wife at dawn, maid at noon and stripper at night.

The End!!!!

There's always a better chance at finding love, whether correctly or mysteriously, it don't matter who you fall in love with but your actions would make a better name to become a better person.
