Episode 7
Ciara’s POV
Fate!!!Fate!!!Fate!!! Who did I offend???
Why did I have to fall on this guy’s arms???? You know I can’t stand him or even like him as a human being…Fate you are a disappointment.
“If you don’t know how to walk in heels, don’t wear them…” He said…
“I am sure you tr!pp£dme…” I raged..
“I rather k!ssall the girls in this room than even hold you…” He said coldly…
“Then why did you hold me???” I glared at him angrily… I was losing patience with this man
. Off late the only agenda he had in life was to belittle me or make my life horrible…
A respected CEO like him going around ma-king an innocent girl’s life a nightmare….What a loser…
“Do you want me to drop you???” He asked softly and like a fool I nodded…
“I rather fall than be in your arms…” And the arrogant man dropped me acting like nothing had happened…
For a moment I thought he was a real man and wouldn’t do something like that and so I tried pu-lling his leg…Poor me, my bu-tt was numb but still on fire….
I could see sympathy drawn on some people’s faces while others were trying so ha-rd to control their laughter…..Thanks heavens only few people were inside the ballroom..
“Are you okay???” Sebastian asked while him and Mason lifted me up…
“Sorry, you sli-pped out of my hand…” Jordan faked a concern, “Hope you have no broken bones…”
“F-ck you dude, you literally dropped me…” I sneered my expression filled with frustration…
“We are officially enemies, Jordan Marcias…” I whispered at him before Mason accompanied me to the washroom…
But that nigga didn’t even look apologetic, his eyes were lighting up with mischief…
I really hate him….
As we walked to the bathroom, I could notice girls ogling at Mason…He had worn a black blazer, white V-n£¢k shi-t, a pair of rugged skinny jeans complimented with suede desert boots… He look different but h0t…
“Are you seriously going to take me inside the ladies’ washroom???”
“Yup..” He shrugged and opened the door to the ladies’ room…
I expected girls to push him out but there they were taking selfies with him and he seemed to be comfortable with the attention…
“Are you okay???” He asked when it seemed I was done with the ret©uçh of makeup…
“I guess so…”
“Excuse me ladies but my bff is done so I have to go….” Mason stated and all girls begun pleading for him to stay a little bit more only for him to hold my hand and walk me out of there…
Some old ladies had the nerve to sneer when they saw him come out of the ladies’ washroom but he didn’t care….
“Mason, go have some fun. I will be fine…”
“You sure???”
I nodded…
“Okay, take care…” He k!$$£d me on the cheek and went to mingle with other guests…
Just when I thought I could finally breathe, some cheap lousy bloggers c@m£ and stood beside me…
“Ciara, why is your b©yfri£nddancing with another girl???” One of them asked…
“Don’t tell me he dumped you???? This is h0t gossip…” The other one giggled…
“You wanna know what yes he dumped me, any problem??? That b-tch is pregnant and I don’t give a sh-t about it…scre-w you cheap bloggers, write what you want. I don’t care…” I spoke in a raw harsh voice…
“So any other question???”
“We are so…..” One of them tried to act sympathetic but I was done with people bu-tt ru-bbing my face…
“Oooh plea-se!!!! Quit the pretence before I shove that champagne glas-s you are holding down your throat…”
The two of them trembled at the thought of that and walked out of my sight as fast as their legs could carry them…
A sweet melody begun drifting throu-gh the atmosphere ma-king the place less unbearable… I looked around for Jaxon but he was busy laughing and talking with everyone ap@rt from me….
“Hey, a sad night…” Kendi Joy stood beside me…
“Tell me about it..” I gulped down another glas-s of champagne…
Yes I would have been excited to chitchat with her but too bad my mood was alre-ady ruined or was it????
“Jordan Marcias is a very arrogant man, trust me and a more arrogant man as a b©yfri£nd…”
Suddenly my mood lit up, I always thought Kendi Joy and Jordan Marcias d@t!ngwas a rumour so it was true… Now I was re-ady to listen to this ju-icy gossip…
“I know you have heard the rumours about me and him d@t!ngthey were true…But he loves ma-king girls feel inferior, he thinks they can be bought with money. Oooh!!! I hate this man…”
Fate it seems you didn’t forget about me…Finally I have a girl who despises Jordan as much as I do… My fashion Icon..
“I would do anything to get back at him…” The words sli-pped out of my mouth unguarded..
“That’s very wrong…”
“What???” I guess I had messed up and said alot to the wrong person…
“That’s very wrong and I love it…”
Phewks!!! I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand in my mind..
. She really got me there…
“Here..” She gave me her business card again, “We can have coffee sometime…”
Before we could chitchat more, some ladies wanted to take some ph0tos with her while Sebastian pu-ll-ed me aside…
“Yes Seb???”
“What’s happening Kims, why is David with her???” I felt the concern in his voice…
I sighed,” It seems I was the sidechic Seb. That girl is pregnant my guy…” I could feel tears burn behind my eyes…
“Sorry Kims.” He placed his hands on my shoulders, “You don’t have to stay if you don’t want to..”
“No, I wanna stay…And the fashion show was amazing. I loved every detail…”
“Coming from you, it means alot…I have to attend to the other guests call me when you nee-d anything…”
I nodded and he hvgged me before walking away…
I took another glas-s of champagne from the waiter and before I could gulped it down, some three girls who think we are friends walked towards me…
“I am sorry sissy, I heard what David did. It’s very wrong. How could he impregnate another woman???” One of them faked a sob..
“How are you feeling??? Are you okay???” Another one placed her hand on my forehead to feel if I was fine…
Like c’mon how is a fever related to a heartbreak????
“We are here for you Ciara, we love you bestie….”
I would rather spend the rest of the night staring at the crystal chandeliers spiraled down from the arching sky-blue ceiling illuminating the glimmering golden walls and a floor so polished it looked like an ice-over lake than to talk with these gossipers…
Stupid gossip. Stupid lame people who gossip. Damn!!! I hated the fame…
If hearing them chatter wasn’t worse, I had to persevere their accompanying wafts of rose, hyacinth and Jasmine….
“Girls, I know where to find you when I nee-d you. It not like I am on my deathbe-d so if you don’t mind, walk away… I nee-d to think…”
When they walked away from me, murmuring God knows what. I gulped down several glas-ses of champagne looking at Jaxon who apparently was looking at me…
His eyes ignited something inside me like a blazing fire… He smiled at me and begun walking towards me when I suddenly saw David standing infront of me….
When I looked for Jaxon over David’s shoulder, he was no longer standing there….Where did he go??? Why can’t anything go well in this p@rty for once???
“Ciara, can we talk???”

Episode 8
Ciara’s POV
“So you wanna talk????” I lashed out…
“It’s not like….”
“Not like what, you went behind my back and impregnated another girl…Only fools do that…”
“Can I speak???”
“If you are here to say sorry, dude just turn around and walk away… This girl ain’t gonna forgive you…” I berated feeling good saying those mean words…
“You pla-yed with my feelings and for that am never going to forgive you…”
All this while he didn’t look. moved, there wasn’t any tiny bit of remorse on his face… It seemed like I was an angry girl talking to a statue..
“Are you done????”
“I guess so…”
“You left your makeup kit at my place..Will you come for it or do I bring it at your place????”
My anger instantly shattered… I was hurt and embarras-sed…
I talked too much to he who didn’t cared…Thought for a second he was apologetic only to make a fool out of myself…
“Just throw it away…” I spoke haltingly… I didn’t know why but my che-st was filled with sob and I really wanted to cry so bad…
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking…
I begun walking away when Jordan gr@bb£d my hand firmly and pu-ll-ed me to the dance floor…
“Are you okay??”
“Let me go!!!!…” I shouted dropping my hands and pushing him back..
Everyone stared at me but I didn’t care as I ran out of that place to the darkest side of the parking lot…
I didn’t want to cry, the world didn’t deserve to see my ruined mascara…
For a moment I thought of calling my mother but i was sure she couldn’t pick up and my big sister well we don’t get along…She is this perfectionist, dad’s favourite daughter and I hated it. Maybe I was jealous… I pinched myself so ha-rd not to cry when Jordan shouted behind me…
“I just wanted to dance…”
Rage begun burning inside me, hissing throu-gh my b©dy like a deadly poison…
“What if you got dumped, if I were him i would also dump you….”
Yeah I maybe a girl who is full of herself but I have feelings too…Those words pierced throu-gh my heart like a sword but I didn’t have the energy to insult him back…
“Excuse me!!”
I decided to continue walking but he wasn’t done with me…
“I wonder how he tolerated a crazy woman…You are crazy, a crazy girl who should be in the asylum and not in the fashion world..Do you know how much I hate you???” He walked towards me and twisted me around, “I am happy he broke your heart because you will now un-derstand how people feel when you cause them pain…”
“You are the one who threw me in the mud, You are the one who dropped me on the floor and here you are ranting you hate me??? I am the one who has the right to hate you arrogant man…” I said in a cold and lashing voice…..
“You deserved it…”
“You also deserved it when your fiancée left you at the aisle and ran away with your b©dyguard. No girl deserves an arrogant man and if I were her I would do the same…”
My face had turned dark dazzled with fury and I knew I had hit the nail on the head when he looked offended… I thought those were just baseless rumours but the priceless hurt look on his face stated otherwise…
I knew it was mean to say those harsh words but he started it….
“I didn’t deserve it, all I did was love her…” He thun-dered, holding me by the arms.
“I loved her but she chose to humiliate me…And I will always hate her for that…” He rested his forehead on mine…
“I also loved him and didn’t deserve to be cheated on but who are you to care??? All you think about is ma-king my life miserable…” I bawled out…
“I can k!ssthosel-ips and there is nothing you would do about it…” He whispered in a demanding voice….
Was I to be enticed???? I was disgusted by the thought of hisl-ips on me….
“I would love to…” I whispered s-ductively into his ear…
I gr@bb£d him by the shoulders, sighing and kicked him in the groin…
“That’s for dropping me on the floor…”
With a red face, he knelt down gr-unting and gro-an ing in pain…
“This is war crazy mud girl…”
“Say that to your ba-lls…”
I threw my hair back wi-nking and swayed my h!ps out of there….Damn!!!It felt good having my revenge….
When I thought all hope was lost between me and Jaxon that night, he reached out and gr@bb£d my hand….
“Do you wanna go for a long drive???”
“Are you drun!k???”
“A little…” He chuckled…
“Okay…”
During our drive, we pas-sed over Creamy inn and bought some ice cream and headed to God knows where… I felt comfortable with him beside me, we talked and joked about everything and even sang the songs on the radio… I didn’t mind my hoarse voice as long as i felt happy doing it…
“We are here pretty face…”
Did he just call me pretty face, I was almost snorting as he run on the other side and opened the door for me….
Has a guy ever opened the door for me???? Memory loading…..Yeah a police officer when I was found loitering around drun!k…
“Thank you…” I smiled and begun ru-bbing my arms the moment I got out of the car…
“Here,” He placed his white dinner jacket on my shoulder and where we were??? On t©p of what looked like a hill where you could see the whole Nairobi city looking beautiful…The view was amazing…
“So do you like the view????”
“Alot…” I beamed as he lifted me up and sat me at the back of the car…
“I love coming here when I feel a little ti-ght…”
“Do you wanna talk about it???” I found myself intertwining our hands…
“You know I miss Tabby so much. I didn’t want her to leave, I thought we would get married, have kids but I guess I was stupid…”
“You ain’t stupid Jaxon, look at me for example. I loved David who impregnated a girl behind my back and ru-bbe-d it in on my face…I feel bad but life goes on..There are the one who should feel bad about leaving us not the other way round…”
“David has always being a douche bag since our college days…” He commented and I couldn’t differ with him.
“You are a pretty woman,” He ran his hand down my face, “don’t let it get to you…”
“You too..” And before I knew it, he had pu-ll-ed me into a hvg ma-king me weak…In his arms, my br@in refused to function. I just wanted to spent the rest of my life there but I guess he felt weird since he pu-ll-ed back and gave me the excuse that our ice creams are melting…
I closed my eyes and remembered briefly what it felt like ma-king love.. How it would feel like, ma-king love with Jaxon????
“I am sorry we couldn’t dance tonight. I had to talk and talk about my albu-m launch…” He dragged me from my thoughts…
“It’s okay but I would love to dance with you right now..” I took the ice creams from his hands and placed them on the car…
“Shall we dance???” I asked putting some music on my phone as he stared at me with amusement…
“Yes your highness…”
We begun to waltz. Spinning, circling and shuffling our feet to the slow rhythmic music…
He moved closer with those eyes that looked de-ep into mine… I thought he wanted us to k!ssonly for him to say, “You have something on your cheek…”
Jaxon!!!!Jaxon!!!! Why did you have to ruin this????.
“Thanks…” I f0rç£d a smile and pu-ll-ed back. I paused the song, thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran and took my ice cream…
“Is something wrong???”
“No…” Yes there is something wrong…I wanted to k!ssyou so bad and there you were acting like a old-fashioned guy. I would have preferred you to gr-ab me and k!ssme like it was our last k!ss. I was so mad and disappointed…
“Can you take me home???” I asked getting into the car….
“Are you okay???”He asked when he slid into the driver’s seat…
“Just take me home….”I looked at the window….
****
Ciara’s POV
Yeah, the nigga took me home but what I thought would happen didn’t happen….
We got into my ap@rtment and instead of him turning around and getting the hell out of my house, we had a little p@rty…
At first it seemed weird but eventually everyone got comfortable and bec@m£ themselves. Damn, my Jaxon was a p@rty animal..
It seemed like he wanted to get wasted so bad and his wish bec@m£ his reality…
“Ciara, you are pretty….” He begun running his hands on my face,”David is a coward for leaving you….”
“I know…Let’s get you to be-d. You are so drun!k…”
“No, I wanna be by your side beautiful…” He staggered on the couch and pu-ll-ed me to sit on his l@p…
This would have been a very happy moment, if he wasn’t drun!k… I would have appreciated Max and Jane’s help but they were so drun!kand ma-king out in the room… I could hear Jane m0@n ing….
“Jaxon, let’s get you to be-d. You are so drun!k…”
“No I wanna be here with you. Hold you, k!ssyou, ca-ress you and make you mine…” He begun unZi-pping my dress. Nervousness begun kicking in overpowering every other feeling….
“Jaxon, we don’t nee-d to do this…” I ran my f!ngersthrou-gh his hair…
“I want you…” My eyes wi-de-ned with surprise before his face pressed against mine… Our mouths locked into each other as he dropped my dress to my w@!st…
I wanted to say no but I couldn’t. I wanted to pu-ll back but I craved for him more… He was driving me wild and I loved it….
He begun k!ss!ngme hungrily, hands roaming all over my b©dy while my f!ngersti-ght£ñed around his hair…
Sadness begun weighing me down on my che-st and I locked it in the depths of my mind. Neither did I want our first love ma-king to be like this nor want to st©p…
His mouth never left my skin. He moved slowly up my n£¢k k!ss!ngun-der my ear ma-king me shiver and my eyes flutter close…
“I wanna make love to you…” He whispered quietly onto my ear, filling his palms with my brea-sts before he begun snoring on my che-st..
I shook my head to bring back my sanity and struggled to walk him to my be-d…That was a intense moment but I wanted him to make love to me like he really wanted to… Not wake up in the morning and be like Sorry Ciara I don’t know what happened and get my broken heart broken again…
I threw him on the be-d and when I was busy covering him up, he held my hand…
“plea-se don’t leave…”
“I am not going anywhere…” I got out of my dress and got inside the be-d next to him…
“Come here am cold…” He placed his hand on my w@!st…
Cold????Nigga you are sweating like you have been roaming around in the Sahara desert….
I sat up, took his head and placed it on my l@p. I begun running my f!ngersthrou-gh his hair since I didn’t know when again I would have the chance to have him so close to me…
I was a simple country girl and he was the prince who I was lucky to met. I might be ordinary but the love that was meant to grow between us would make us the extraordinary just him and me against the world…
“Jaxon, I hope we be a couple. I want us to get married and have kids…Let’s make the world invisible infront of our eyes…I want you to be my man and me your woman…” I spoke to the drun!khim about all my fantasies and didn’t know when I fell asleep because when I woke up I was all alone in be-d, covered warmly and in my night go-wn…
“Jaxon!!!!Jaxon!!!!!”
No!!!No!!!!I hope he didn’t fall in the bathroom and broke his n£¢k… I ran around the house like a mad woman but couldn’t find me…
Silly me, I didn’t see the note beside the be-d..
Thank you for yesterday and sorry if I crossed the limits with you.I hope you forgive me…. See you later, you can come in to work later…It’s okay.. Regards Jaxon…
You see this is what I was talking about???Him feeling guilty the next morning ma-king me feel stupid about myself…
“The queen finally woke up…” Max begun teasing me the moment I walked into the living room.
“Have you seen Jaxon???”
“Your prince charming left…” Max smiled mischievously…
“Spill it out Max!!!”
“How was it???Is he good in be-d???Between him and David who is the best???”He started driving me crazy with silly questions as soon as I sat on the kitchen’s counter.
“Nothing happened friend…Nothing happened…”
“Nothing happened????” Jane shouted walking towards me…
” First I can’t believe Jaxon Marcias was in our house and second that you didn’t take advantage of his drun!ken state…”
“Would you first tie up your bathrobe???”
If she had an opportunity, she would bean advocate of people walking n-ked.. It was like clothes made her b©dy itch…
“It’s h0t here….”
She got an ice bag from the freezer and placed on her head,”Baby, I have a killer hangover…”
“I know what will make you feel better,” He whispered s£dûçt!velyand pu-ll-ed her towards him… In a spur of a moment, he had alre-ady placed her on the counter and they were k!ss!nghungrily…
Come on, not on the counter with me around…
“Guys, I will get going…”
No one seemed to care….
I walked into the bathroom only to see Jaxon’s wallet lying on the sink…Yeeeei!!!!I have found a reason to look for him and find out if he loved the k!ssyesternight..
When I got out of my room into the living room. The lovebirds were doing it on the counter… I have seen that a million and one times but I doubt I will ever get used to it… They had no privacy….
“Seriously guys, you won’t wait for me to first leave….”
“Our urges were too much to bear…” Max responded getting back to business…
As pushed my legs forward to the Marcias mansion, I could feel the bu-tterflies in my belly. What if he was mad???.What if he never talks to me again????
“Hello Carol, I nee-d to get to Jaxon’s room…” I greeted the house manager.
“You know you are not supposed to go up there…”
“I know but do you think I am a fool to come to you when I know that. He is expecting me plus we have to go throu-gh some work projects…”
“Okay…”
“Give me directions????”
” On the first floor on your right the second room…”
“Thank you…”
I walked on the grand central stairway onto the first floor where I forgot whether I was to go right or left.
I think she said right.
No she said left.
Yeah it’s left the second room…
I walked confidently towards the second room on the left and closed my eyes taking de-ep breaths before knocking on the door but no answer…
Like a foolish girl, I entered the room like I owned the place.
“Jaxon!!!Jaxon!!!”
I dropped my bag and begun looking around when I heard someone humming out of the bathroom…
“Ja…..” I begun screaming on seeing who it was and he joined in the screaming too. Then the worst happened,his towel fell off his w@!st and before he could hold on to it, it was too late. …
He was now in his bathing suit….Come on how many n-ked bodies am I to see today????
