Love or obsession

Anthony's POV

“Tell me “. I ordered

“She visited the hospital today and went out for lunch with the doctor, and they seem too intimate to be just friends or ex “.he spoke up.

I took in a deep breath before speaking up 

“Keep your eyes on them" .“Yes boss” 

I ended the call and kept back the phone.

They are mysteries about Linda that I need to discover before I get married to her, even if the marriage will last for just some months.

I pick you my things and left the office. I got home and noticed Linda wasn't at home. I met aunt penny in the kitchen and walk up to her.

“You are back early “.she spoke when she noticed me in the kitchen.

“No much work”. I replied, 

She smiled at me and continued what she was doing.

I thought of the best way to bring up Olivia's issue to her without getting her worried. 

“Have you been speaking to Olivia”. I asked.

“Yes, we just finished talking a while ago “.

I felt at ease when I heard that from her, at least now I'm sure she was okay. 

If she was okay, then why isn't she picking up my calls I thought to myself.

I left the kitchen and went straight to my room to get changed. I got changed and left the house alone.

I got to Olivia's apartment and parked in front of it.

I got to her door and knocked twice before it was opened.Chris gave me an arduous look before speaking up 

“Why are you here “.he asked with irritation

“I'm here to see Olivia “. I replied 

“She's not feeling well”.he replied

“Then she should have at least pick up my calls when I called “.I was becoming tired of her attitude towards me.

“I will ask her to do that “.he replied and was about closing the door when I held it back.

“I want to see her," I told Chris in a serious tune.

“She is not allowed to see anyone for now “.he replied and tried to close the door but I held it back, 

“What kind of sickness is that “. I asked confused.

Chris kept quiet for a while before he spoke up, 

“She has cold and fever and the doctor said it's contagious, so I think it would be best for her not to see anyone”.

“Then why are you here “. I spoke in anger. Actually I was jealous of him, 

“You don't expect her to be alone when she is sick “.he asked while giving me a hard look.

I hissed in frustration before speaking up 

“Tell her to at least call or pick my calls “,

"I'll tell her that “, .he quickly closed the door at me.

I left the apartment but could not go home, so I decided to get a few drinks at the bar.

I got to the bar and requested for some drinks l sat at the edge of the bar. The drink was brought to me in no time and I began drinking.

So many things were going through my head while drinking.I thought of Olivia and how I yearned everything was okay between us, and I also thought about Linda and wondered what she was up to.

I felt a hand tapped my shoulder.I turned around and met Jude smiling at me. I hissed in anger and looked away.

He sat opposite me and drank his drink.

“What are you doing here “.he asked 

“, None of your business”. I reply in anger.

“Chill man, we are not fighting “.he replied

“Of course we are fighting, you are dragging my woman with me”. I yelled out.

“She is not your woman”. He yelled back, 

“She was until you came into the picture”. I yelled back.

I looked around and noticed few people were looking our way. I hissed and took another sip of my drink to calm myself down.

He sat there and drank in silence until he spoke up 

“I heard you are getting married". “How did you know, when I haven't started sending out invitations”. I asked.

He chuckled softly and took a sip of his drink,

“I know too much”.that was all he said.

“To hell with you “. I yelled.

He glanced at me but did not say a word.

“I love Olivia”.he spoke up, 

“So what does that I have to do with me “. I replied, ."I can't have Olivia because of you “. I looked at him and noticed he was furious, but was controlling it.

“Look for another girl, Jude, you can never have her “. I said those words as a threat.

He tightens his fingers together and took another sip of his drink.

“Do you know what love is “.he asked, 

“You have no right to ask me that question “. I replied. "You don't love Olivia, you are just obsessed with her, because if you loved her, you wouldn't be putting her in so much pain “.he hit the table with anger. I looked at him and noticed he was furious.

“What do you mean “? I asked confused,

“You dare ask me that “.he spoke in anger.

“You know how much Olivia loves you and yet, you are getting married to another lady”.he stood up and stood in front of me.

“You know nothing “. I told him back in anger.

“Of course I know nothing, but I know when Olivia is in pains”.he replied in anger.

“You don't know Olivia more than I do”. I told him in anger, 

“And what do you think you know about her “.he chuckled loudly.

“Everything”. I was now losing my patience.

“You don't deserve her, surely you don't, and I promise you that I will give Olivia all the love and care that you couldn't give to her. and she will never remember someone like you existed in her life, and this is a promise. He spoke those words and left my table.

I felt scared when I heard those words from him.those words weren't words to play with I knew he meant all he said, and for some strange reason I felt anxious and scared of loosing Olivia.
