(*Have you ever had feelings for me Dee???…*)
Jeff is fed up. Dee this. Dee that. For the past six months, all he can hear this woman wheeze about is Dee! He’s about to go insane coz of them.
Two hours earlier, that bastard warmed his way into his house yelling at him. What rights have he? Recalling that still annoyed him as hell.
“But Dee…” She rattled and he screamed out;
“There you go again, calling him Dee!!”
“I’m sorry” she mumbled but he was too angry to reason.
“You’re sorry? Diane I don’t think you’re at all! Both of you always messing with my head…”
“How? I don’t love Damien! He’s just my best friend. You know that!” She paused seeing the disbelieving gaze in his eyes,
“I know he messed up by coming to you because we had a fight but it’s not like that. He was just trying to care”
“Care? Clearly not! I know what I saw in his eyes”
“And what was it?”
He scratched his head. He h@ťěd to say it. The way he reeled at him, that look in his eyes is still painted in his head… That look of DON’T YOU DARE MESS WITH MY WOMAN…he clearly saw it.
“Tell me Jeff. What was it? I know he’s intimidating by the way he looks at people but that’s just how he is”
He crossed his arms.
“What made him come over to my house and tell me $h|t in the first place? You’re my girlfriend for crying out loud ” he held her shoulder shoving violently.
“You’re hurting me” she squealed out but he didn’t stop.
He was too angry to hear her. If it meant shoving her back to her senses, he will do that.
He can’t and won’t let that bastard take her away from him.
“Stop! Jeff please stop…You..re…choking me”
He let her go violently and she fell to her couch nursing her shoulders. How badly they hurt.
“Damien is…”
He hit her across her face making her shut up.
She was stunned. For the first time in six months that they started dating, this is the first time he hit her.
Probably the first time a man apart from her father raised his arm on her. No one ever did it.
And Jeff just did it.
She glared on at him in utter amazement. She couldn’t just believe it.
The sweet Jeff have slowly turned into a monster.
“Did you…did you just hit me?”
She asked still finding it disbelieving but he was too confused to think.
He ran his hands into his thick blonde hair trying to recollect himself but nothing happened.
Part of him felt so bad for acting rashly but a part of him still felt like she really needed it.
Either way, he stomped his way out of her house leaving her speechless.
*You don’t see me as a woman but at least he does!*
*You don’t even care about how I feel Dee*… These replayed in his head many times.
Her grey eyes brimmed with tears was doing justice to his heart.
Even as he sat at his conference meeting with his staffs, he was hardly concentrating.
He just stared on blankly at his computer barely listening to his secretary as she poured out new ideas on how to expand their business.
All he tried to do was look on at the projector and back at his computer and then at his secretary,Veronica before sighing out.
He doesn’t care… That Ɓîtçh dared say that! … No, she’s not a Ɓîtçh. Diane isn’t but acts like one sometimes.
He hissed out loudly attracting attention to himself.
“Uhm…Sir, are you okay?” Vero dared ask being the closest person to him in the office.
“What was the last thing you said. I didn’t seem to grasp that part quite well”
Vero’s eyes darted to his face and saw how depressed he was.
He had been this way for two days now. What’s bothering him? She wondered… Oops! Diane… Her or nobody else.
“Uhm…I said…”she pointed at the projector which displayed pictures of lipsticks of different sizes and colours;
“If we add these colorful and quality lipsticks to our brand…”
“Then do that” he interrupted and stood up;
“The marketing manager…” He said turning to the marketing manager’s direction who stood up slowly;
“Sir??”
“See to this project”
“Yes sir”
“Miss Veronica” he called taking up his phone and laptop; “The meeting is over, I need not tell you to take care of things right?”
“Yes sir”
He nodded walking to the gliding door which was almost waiting for him to step out;
“Send me an email of my schedules for the evening”
“Yes sir, I will do that soon”
But he has left before he heard her reply. He walked into his office and slumped into his couch.
He might need a drink or two…he thought as he sat up to ring for one but changed his mind.
He can’t do that in the office.
Why would she say that in the first place when all he tried to do was to protect her from harm.
Psst!
Why is she so impassive and immature?Clearly that Jeff of a guy is one of the worst boyfriend she ever had but would she listen?
Of course not, because she’s someone who always make the wrong choice only to end up hurt.
Ugh!
He might really need a drink. The heck! He haven’t called her in two days… He heaved…who knows how she’s faring.
Probably in the arms of that jerkie guy… His mind said and the hairs on his body stood up, his heart started aching.
What the f-__-k can he ever give her that he can’t.
Frustrating!
There’s nothing as frustrating as having a thing to do with Diane.
Soon, his phone started ringing:
DIANE❤ … The name on his phone screen tormented his soul.
He gulped out loudly. Why is she calling him?
He tried ignoring it but it persisted so he took it;
“Hey” she squealed out in a very low voice that caught through him.
He need not be told by her voice that something is wrong with her.
“Where are you?” He asked her standing up from his couch and grabbing his car keys.
“Damien” she called him by his full name. Something that she rarely does except when she’s in danger.
He can’t say but right at that moment, he vowed to tear that jerk apart if he is the reason why she’s not okay.
“Damien please don’t come over”
“Why? But you’re clearly…”
“I just need to ask you a question and that’s all”
“What can it be? Sure it has nothing to do with that…”
“Have you ever had feelings for me Dee?”
