R0m-n-ceWRITTEN ✍ by Eunice
?Chapter eleven ?
? I don’t say it often
And I probably should’ve told you
I hurt this bad, I know
And I probably shouldn’t want this so bad
Its weighing, weighing on me
Don’t wanna wake up in the morning
Cannot undo what we did in this be-d?
?And I get u out
So I gotta go
No, am not ready for
You want me alone ?
But am undecided, excited, ignited
And I don’t wanna feel the way I do
But I like it ?
Tessy’s pov cont
It took a while before I was pulled back to reality, I dragged my feet downstairs looking for Angelo, but it was fruit less cause he was nowhere to be found
I feel miserable, confused and to my surprise, my yearnings had died down
I la-id on the sofa in the living room and sle-pt off
I woke up when I was back from the crazy dreamland I had been too
I walked upstairs so weak and my back aches cause I sle-pt on the couch
I walked p@$$ Angelo’s room, hmmm… I peeped inside without him noticing
He was stuffing his clothes neatly inside his bag… I should be the one doing that…
Am such a bad wife
No, I have to make things right
I walked into the room and he acted like a ghost just walked in
“Morning… “I muttered
“Angelo, am sorry… I don’t know what I did, but am truly sorry… Forgive me… ”
He glanced at me and looked away
“Is that a poem u just memorized or what.. A bible verse?? “He asked
This is gonna be more difficult than u thought
He was now backing me, probably un hanging his clothe
I tip toed to him and hu-gged him from behind
“Can u really be this mad?? I don’t even know what i did… U are mean Angelo ” I said like I was singing a song
He was still quiet
I felt something warm on my cheeks, geez am crying ?
But how??
I sniffed and he turned facing me
I quickly wiped my tears
I still don’t know how I began crying…
“First, you stain ur l-ips with Gino’s venom and u still claim not toknow what this is about? “He asked with anger written allover his precious face
Oh God… I knew I would have ten divorce before I would finally be a happily married lady ?
Am just too vulnerable… ?
I started crying uncontrollably
“Am sincerely sorry Angelo, pls forgive me… He ki$$ed me which totally threw me off guard… ”
“Where’s the gun I gave to you?? “He asked
“I left it in my room to avoid being caught for carrying a loaded gun around ” I replied,
I couldn’t even talk properly, the tears were choking me alive
“I did tell u that if such happens, u call my cell or show them the papers of the gun “he said with a bit of aggression in his voice
I nodded
“Am tired of begging, pls forgive me… ” I pleaded
His hands pulled me by my wai-stclose to him
“You have every right to cheat on me, but just do it when we’re divorced or something.. Cause right now, you’ve ki$$ed another man and it shouldn’t be that way… ” he said and I nodded
He pulled out of the hu-g and we both went silent
I tried to leave but he held me back and drew me close to him
His eyes searching de-ep into mine, he bent forward to ki$$ me… But stopped
“Go brush ur teeth young lady “he whispered and I pushed him away
“You are so not R0m-ntic Angelo ?”
He chuckled
“Go brush your teeth and when u return, we can continue from where we stopped the other night “he said and winked at me
“No… I don’t want s-x Angelo, I want love, ki$$es and hu-gs… ” I retorted
He shook his head,
“You’ll be getting one from all three, guess which one? “He asked
“ki$$… Which may lead too… “I quickly shut my l-ips
“No baby, its love, cause when there’s love, we can show it, do it and feel it “he said giving me a s-xy look
I rolled my eyes
And began walking to my room
“And also, brush off Gino’s venom! “He yelled
Jealous @$$, I muttered
••••Day of depa-rture ••••
Its been an awesome week, Angelo and I had the best moments but right now, its goodbye time..
We got to the aircraft
The tears in my eyes refused to go
When am I gonna see him again, oh God, this is so painful
“Tessy”Angelo called and I looked at him
“I promise to call u every two days.. And also, Gino will still cone for u, its just left for u to decide… Its okay if you give in but just bear in mind that If u give in, you’ve lost me and no amount if se-duction or pleading will make me urs again ”
“Always be with ur gun, and don’t even bother about shooting Gino, he’s an ex con so his life doesn’t matter in anyway… “He said
Then wiped my tears
I hu-gged him with everything in me
“I love you… “He muttered in my ear
“I love you too “I said
“Be strong, bye, see u after the Camp experience… “He said and joined the other soldiers in saluting the people that had cone to bid them farewell
I wat he’d them match into the aircraft and we were asked to leave
••••••
Be strong Tessy, be strong
I muttered as I opened the door of our house and walked in
Be strong Tessy, be strong….

Chapter ☀ Twelve
{Importance ☀}
Angelo’s pov
The camp experience was starting today..
The training equipments was already in order
I went to see General Malcolm who would give me the list of students I would be handling during training till the end of the camp..
I gathered the students and we went to our portion of the training area
There was only one female among them
Am starting to admire her cause she’s so tough looking and br@ve
And the wierd pa-rt is that she doesn’t seize to glance at me often and once our eyes met, I would look away like I didn’t notice…
I don’t talk much so I quickly motioned them to start….
My mind is not even here right now…
I wonder what Tessy’s doing right now…
••• After training ••
Jumica’s pov
I rushed into my tent and slumped on my be-d
Stupid me…
Am Jumica, am still a student soldier… Am tough and all but one thing is my weakness, Seeing handsome and smart men…
I feel like eaten myself up right now… The way I was staring at him.. Who does that?
I knelt down beside my be-d and wore my rosary in my palm
“Oh lord, help me get rid of this crazy feelings I have on that soldier.. All the crazy ones I had previously never leads me Anywhere, I just face the embarr@$$ing humiliations and make a bad name for myself.. ”
I kept praying till it was dinner time, and we ladies are the one who are asked to do the cooking
I left my tent and joined the other girls
Tessy’s pov
I sat on the ba-re floor with my undies alone just trying to get drunk ?
I just wish Angelo never came back, he could have stayed there till this marriage is damn over cause it hurts more now he came and left than when he didn’t come at all
I hate this…
The house is too quiet and creepy, I think am even starting to hallucinate
No, I can’t bear this
I took the slee-ping tablet
I hope I wake up beside u Angelo.
Back ~to~the~camp
Jumica’s pov
After cooking, we dished our meals
“Jumica! Carry this tray and go keep it in the se-nior cobr@’s tent, be careful and please don’t tou-chanything ”
“Or its goodbye to you from the camp ” a chef said and I saluted her before carrying the meal to the tent
What?! The tent is quite far from here..
•••••
? finally, I arrived
I peeped inside, coast is clear
I dropped the tray on a table
Hmmm… I saw the tent neatly arranged like a real persons be-droom
I saw badges nicely kept on a showcase
I read one
“Best graduating ? scholar of IMA London!! ”
I exclaimed
That school takes only 5 scholars out of millions, and he’s the best??
Impossible….
This must be fake,
I slowly opened the case…
“Why are girls always stubborn and naturally deaf?? ” I heard a cold voice ask and I was shocked to the bones
I turned to see lieutenant Angelo furrowing his brows at me
Those bu-tterflies are coming back to my tummy
Why am I feeling this way, huh??
“Why are u Staring at me like am wearing ur dress?? “He asked waking me from my thoughts
I stammered
“I came to… Ur food…. Ur food is here “I stammered as I saluted him
“You are at the wrong tent, chef Vera knows I don’t take dinner. “He said
What?!
“Do u know how long it took me to get here?! “I mistakenly yelled
Me and my mouth…
He stared at me
Just his stare alone made me apologize
“Sorry sir, am leaving now… “I whimpered as I carried the tray of food to leave
“You are still not off the hook ? u know ” he said stopping me
I froze
“Well, what can I do to atone for my sins? “I asked with a shaky voice
Jumica, are u insane! What if he asks for s-x??
But he doesn’t look like a pervert
“Wash my ? boot outside and I want it be as sp-otless that I can see throu-ghthem “he said
“Done sir”I said and tried to salute and the tray nearly fell
But luckily, He held it and I stood steady
And that’s when I saw it….
My world turned upside down immediately, I felt shattered… Miserable
His wedding ring ? was glittering right before my eyes
So he is…
Oh God, am so stupid to ever think there could be some chance with him
Holy shit!
I felt my eyes w£t, geez, a soldier never cries…
I walked out of the tent
You are cursed Jumica, cursed for life
How can I cry over someone I ba-rely know, this is just sad ??
Angelo’s pov
I called Tessy like five times but she wasn’t picking up…
Can she be asleep already??
I se-nt her texts before slee-ping off, hope she’s doing fine without me…
Tessy’s pov
Few days later….
Its been raining since I got back from work and am afraid its now a storm ?☔⚡
I feel so scared and insecure
I even started crying cause I was still scared of thun-der ⚡ ⚡
I la-id on my be-d with the blanket covering me
I can’t stop shaking…
It went on for almost an hour, am I gonna sleep tonight??
I felt two cold hands uncover the blanket, I looked up, Gino??
He crept in and held me to himself, covering me
Ah! He’s bo-dy’s warm ?….
