I may be a rotten individual, but thereās nothing I uphold more than respect, dignity and courtesy, anyone who doesnāt have any of these is an animal in my book.
Speaking of animals, thatās what Bianca is,.. Seeing her at the bowl alley was surprising but when she started shouting and cursing Angelina.. I just couldnāt take it, Angelina could handle Bianca all by herself and teach the B-tch a lesson. But the problem was Angelina is too soft and too nice, Sheās a tigress when she gets really mad and angry but itās going to take more than a insult to make her spark up.
Despite the curse Bianca threw at her, Angelina stood staring at her without ma-king a move, I was even surprised that she wasnāt hurt by those words, I just couldnāt stand and watch Bianca disrespect her like that, so I decided to teach the wh-re a sl@p.
So when she wasnāt looking, I gave her a thun-derous sl@p on her cheek which made her head spin, Everyone was surprised when I did that, especially Bianca who held her cheek staring at me in shock.
.
Bianca
ā” You dare sl@p me?!?
.
Charlene ā” I will sl@p your face again if you say another rotten wordā¦ Donāt you have any manners?
.
Dora ā” Look hereā¦ Youāre going to pay for doing that.. Your stupid cousin deserves everyā¦.
.
Sl@p!!! š
.
Angelina
ā” CHARLENE!!
.
Charlene ā” What!?
.
Collins ā” Babe are you okay??
.
Dora ā” SHE Sl@pPED ME!? MY EAR O.. I CANāT HEAR ANYTHING.
.
Collins ā” Listen here you b-tcā¦
.
Sl@p!!! š
.
Peter ā” Nice š
.
Angelina ā” Charlene.. plea-se stĀ©p with the sl@pping.
.
Charlene
ā” Sorry.. I canāt help it.
.
Bianca ā” If you dare sl@p any of us again.. I swear Iāllā¦
.
Charlene ā” Youāll what?? Listen to me you little witch.. Better watch your mouth.. I can ruin your life if I report to the police that youāre ma-king threats to me. Say what you want to say and leave.
.
Bianca ā” Tell your cousin to stay away from my fianceeā¦ Tell her to find her own man.. I know about her past relationsh!pwith Peterā¦ I donāt know what happened between them but itās over.. Itās my time nowā¦ Peter is mine and Iām the one he truly loves. Not you Angelina. Better go find your man..Peter is alre-ady taken.
And as for you Peter.. Iām ashamed of you, you couldnāt even call to let me know youāre back, instead you come here and spend time with this hypocrite.. I forgive your indecencies and Iām giving you a chance to adjust your mistakes.. Iāll be leaving now, donāt forget our wedding is 3 weeks from now. Letās go Dora.
.
Bianca and her buddies soon left the place, thanks to our little drama, some of the people were now staring at us.
Both Peter and Angelina were quiet for a while and so was I, Bianca said quiet a lot and Iām sure itās got both of them thinking. Moments later, Angelina began walking out of the bowling alley feeling a little bit sad, Peter on the other hand chased her trying to catch up with her, from what I could tell things are about to get heated between those two.
.
#ANGELINA
That
Biancaā¦ She sure has the nerve to say those words to my face, I donāt care if sheās engaged to Peter or not and heās certainly isnāt hers.
But still I can un-derstand how she feels, Peter is the one to blame for all this, perhaps if he had made a choice, this embarras-sment wouldnāt have happened in the first place.
After I left the building, Peter caught up to me asking me if everything was alright with me,.
.
Peter ā” Angelina!? Are you alright?
.
Angelina ā” Do I look alright to you?
.
Peter ā” Iām sorry for what Bianca did. We donāt we all sit down and talk things out.
.
Angelina ā” Are you seriously suggesting that?? If you think Iām going to make nice with her.. Then forget it. Iām not interested in talking anything out.
.
Peter ā” Come on Angelina.
.
Angelina ā” PETER! Donātā¦ tĀ©uƧhā¦ me. Youāre the reason why all this is happening.
.
Peter ā” What!?
.
Angelina ā” Yes.. Youāre the one.. If only you had make up your mind earlier this wouldnāt have happened.
I love you Peter.. Thatās why I split from Collins.. Iām even having doubts whether you have the same feelings for meā¦ I canāt go on pla-ying this love triangle any longer.. Itās time you choose Peter. I donāt want to share Bianca with you anymore.. If youāre have doubts or feeling uncomfortable about us just say so.
.
Peter ā” Come on Sugar donāt say that.. I love you with all my heart, itās just that I donāt want..
.
Angelina ā” To hurt Bianca? What about me? Donāt I feel hurt too? Didnāt I feel hurt when you refused to show up 6 years ago on the grandest and most important night of my life? That night meant a lot to me and you didnāt show up, but thatās okay cause I forgave you and moved on, thatās life Peter.. Things like this happen.. Bianca too has to un-derstand not everything goes as planned.. Still I wonāt f0rƧĀ£ you to leave her.. Itās your choice but Iām giving you an option.. Itās either her or me until you make up your mind, This little affairs of ours is over, Good bye Peter.
.
Peter felt agitated by what I said, he tried to tĀ©uƧh me but I brushed him off and walked away, I donāt like this better than he does but itās time he realizes how serious I am.. If you truly wants me, then he knows exactly what to do.
.
A week pas-sed since my temporary breakup with Peter and he was still yet to make his decision and I wasnāt talking to him either, So I didnāt waste my time sitting around waiting for him to decide, I moved on with my life doing what I usual do, but quite a lot of things had taken place these past few days.
First of all the news of my love triangle with Peter and Bianca was spre-ad around thanks to Collins and of course Dora, It didnāt cause any stir but there were tweets and comments about our affair and fans were having a fun time giving their options on which of us Peter should end up with.
Secondly Ming had finally come to Nigeria to visit me, I had even gave up on the fact that she wouldnāt come but she proved me wrong.
She br@nched in the famous KINDEA CHINESE h0tEL here in Abuja and then invited me over to her place, She too later c@mĀ£ to my house and met my parents. Despite the complicated r0m@nƧĀ£issues Iāve been facing, I had a great time with Min throu-gh the week.
So one Saturday afternoon, I was with Ming in her h0tel and we were both enjoying a relaxing sauna and a warm bath like the ones Chinese and Japanese people usually do. As we were enjoying the h0t water on our skins and a moment of peaceful quietness, Ming broke the silence by asking about Peter.
.
Ming ā” Hey Angelina.. Whereās Peter?ā¦. TÄ hĆ¢o ma?ā¦ (Howās he doing?)
.
Angelina ā” (Speaking Chinese) TÄ hĆ”i hĆ¢oā¦ (Heās fine).
.
Ming ā” Soā¦ Are you guys still seeing each other?
.
Angelina ā” No.. Weāre on a holdā¦ We have a temporary setback.
.
Ming ā” What setback?
.
Angelina ā” Biancaā¦ He still hasnāt made up his mind on who to choose.
.
Ming ā” (speaking Chinese) NĆ”nrĆ©n mĆ”n shÄn shĆ shĆ®.
.
Angelina ā” What did you say?
.
Ming ā” You didnāt un-derstand what I said??
.
Angelina ā” You know Iām not de-ep and fluent in Chinese.. plea-se tell me what you just said.
.
Ming ā” I said Men are full of $h!t.
.
Angelina ā” Not all men.. Peter is just confused.
.
Ming ā” Sheesh.. Your love for him is just too much. I hope he loves you the same way.
.
Angelina ā” He does.
.
Ming ā” I hope so.. So now youāre waiting for him to decide?
.
Angelina ā” Yes..
.
Ming ā” Okay.. I hope he chooses well, in the mean time.. Do you telling me how you look so smooth and s-xy!? Your skin is jusy glowing and radiating.. Whats the secret?
.
Angelina ā” Simple.. I work out for an hour each day to keep my bĀ©dy in shape,.. I donāt take too much sugar or chocolate š«, I drink lots of milk and water to keep my bĀ©dy strong and hydrated, I practice yoga on the weekends and I go on diet on Wednesdays and Fridays. Lastly I get enough sleep and I ru-b expensive lotions on my skinā¦. And I always dance everyday to keep my bĀ©dy lively. Itās my favorite hobby.
.
Ming ā” No wonder.. Cause every time I look at you, itās like you ba-rely age. Nice work but I canāt keep up with your routines.. Theyāre too much for me.
.
Angelina ā” No.. Youāre just too lazy!
.
Ming ā” No.. Iām not, thereās a limit to what my bĀ©dy can do. Besides you should try martial arts too.. Itās a good exercise.
.
Angelina ā” Sorry, I donāt want to look like a female version of Brock lesnar.. My ballet dances clas-ses š are just as good enough for me.
.
After spending hours with Ming, I returned home back to my parents house to relax.. Ever since I p@rted ways with Peter at the bowling alley, I havenāt visited or stayed in the house Peter and I bought together, I didnāt want any contact with him, I wanted to avoid him as much as possible until he made up his mind.
So minutes later after I was back from Mingās place, here I was in my be-droom wearing my stretch p@n-ts and singlet, I was hoping to do Yoga session before I made preparations for dinner.
Whilst I was about to begin, I heard a text message blink on my phone, As I checked the text, I realized it was from Peter and he wanted us to meet at the Central park.
I sat on my be-d for a while wondering if I should go or not, After battling with myself for a while, I decided to go see Peter and hear him out.
So I gr@bbĀ£d my jacket wearing over my singlet and then I borrowed Charleneās car and drove straight to the place. Minutes later, I arrived at the place and saw Peter on a bench sitting alone, after parking the car, I approached him and sat close to him but with a little space. Peter didnāt say anything, He just kept quiet looking down at his shoes, I too kept quiet waiting for him to say something.. Moments later, Peter looked up and faced me, He still didnāt say anything , it took a couple of seconds before he spoke up.
.
Peter ā” Angelinaā¦ Iām sorry..
.
Angelina ā” Sorry? For whatā¦ā¦..
.
#PETER
Most people think that Choices are easy to make but little did they realize, that Choices are really ha-rd to make and if one make the wrong Choices, it will alter his/her life leading him to the path of regrets, ha-rd sh!pand suffering.
Ever since Angelina gave me those Choices at the bowling alley.. I havenāt been the same, I spent days and night trying to figure out the choices I should make.
First of all letās examine the facts,ā¦ I really love Angelina, thereās no woman Iād rather choose than her, she has been the love of my life ever since we were kids and Iād do anything to plea-se her. In my eyes, Sheās more than a friend and a lover, sheās a p@rt of me that I can never do without, Ap@rt from my parents, Sheās the only person that knows me in and out, she knows my wants and hates, my strength and weakness and she knows exactly how to plea-se me,and the best p@rt is that, Sheās tolerates me just they way I could tolerate her. Without a doubt sheās the one I should choose. But then again life has its way of doing things.. There are some things you think are the best for you but later in life, you realize those things are worst than they seem.. Some people might love each other like crazy but once they get hitched, they turn into vicious enemies and eventually their matchup was a mistake in the very first place and I donāt want that.. Not especially after what Iāve been throu-gh with Angelina.
Second, Thereās Bianca.. Sheās not Angelina.. She can never have the best qualities of Angelina but sheās not a bad person either.. She has her perks as well. Despite being so materialistic, Sheās generous and quite nice to people.
I like her but not the way I like Angelina, Bianca too might be a good choice for me but the only flaw in our relationsh!pis that, We donāt tolerate each other that much. Sheās just too flashy and too stylish for my liking and also she wants to enf0rƧĀ£ her lifestyle on me.
.
Choosing between these two women was quite a challenge for me and I was tra-pped into a corner. Since Angelina was avoiding me, I decided to hang out with Bianca and unlike Angelina, she welcomed me with open armsā¦ As the days pas-sed, Bianca had been so nice to me I was starting to admire her, She would cook, and sometimes even iron my clothes despite the fact she really wasnāt into this kind of stuff. But despite displa-ying her affections fully, I wasnāt still in de-ep with her, cause Angelina was still in my mind.
One Saturday afternoon, I was at home with my parents having a friendly discussion, my father who noticed my mood, asked Mom to give us a moment to have a pri-vate discussion, as soon as Mom was gone, Dad asked if I was okay.
.
Wright ā” Son.. Are you alright?
.
Peter ā” Yes sir.. Iām fine.
.
Wright ā” No.. Youāre not.. Something is bothering you.. Tell me. Whatās wrong?
.
Peter ā” Father.. Iām worried and Iām in trouble.
.
Wright ā” Tell me.. Whatās wrong?
.
I took a de-ep breathe and then told my father everything that has been weighing my mind, He listened attentively and when I was done, he told me to follow him outside so that we could take a walk.
Minutes later, as weāre roaming about the neighborhood silently, my dad begin to give me his own opinion.
.
Wright ā” I un-derstand how you feel and youāre indeed in a mess, but thereās nothing you can do.. You have to choose one.
.
Peter ā” But if I do choose one.. Iāll hurt the other.
.
Wright ā” Well. If you canāt choose then I suggest you let both ladies go.
.
Peter ā” I canāt do that.
.
Wright ā” Well.. You better make a choice.. Look Peter.. Every decision you make must have both positive and negative effect.. The positive effect is youāll be with the one you truly love and the negative effect is, if you choose one among this ladies, one might feel hurt, she might even hate you but thatās life.. Itās better you choose the one your heart de-sires instead of choosing the one that youāre not hundred percent of.. Those kind of relationsh!ps always end in a bad result. So tell me Peter.. Who do you truly love? Who do you think you feel comfortable with? And who makes you feel happy and at peace whenever youāre around her? And who would you rather die for?
.
Peter ā” Angelina.
.
Wright ā” Hmph.. No hesitation.. Youāre sure sheās the one?
.
Peter ā” Sheās the one dad..
.
Wright ā” Well, she should be the one you choose.. If thatās where your heart is pointing at, then you should be with her.
.
Peter ā” What about Bianca?
.
Wright ā” Sheāll be hurt and sad but sheāll move on.. Besides I believe sheāll respect your decision if she truly has s-en-se. She should un-derstand that youāve given her a chance to look for someone better than you.
.
Peter ā” Thank you father.
.
Wright ā” Youāre welcome son.. So what now?
.
Peter ā” Donāt worry.. Youāll find out soon enough.
.
Later that day, I was in Biancaās house together with her, I was in the living room comfortably sitting on the couch while She was in the kitchen ma-king some snacks.. Moments later, she returned a tray of egg rolls and meat pie, She also added a cu-p filled with chilled cold jui-ce. She dropped the tray on the table and urged me to eat to my satisfaction.. I didnāt really eat much, but the jui-ce was really delicious though. After I was done.. Bianca began talking to me about her wedding shopping, I wasnāt really listening to her, cause I was busy thinking about Angelina.
.
Bianca ā” Babeā¦ Peter!?
.
Peter ā” Huh?
.
Bianca ā” Are you okay?
.
Peter ā” Iām fine.
.
Bianca ā” So as I was saying.. When are we going to go for my wedding shopping?
.
Peter ā” Uhm.. Can you give me a minute? I nee-d to get some air.
.
Bianca ā” Oh.. Uh.. Okay.
.
After that, I borrowed her Car and then left her house, driving straight to the Central park, before I could get there, I texted Angelina to meet me there pronto. I could have called but I doubt if she would answer.
I finally got to the Central park and waited for Angelina, after 20 minutes of waiting.. Angelina finally showed up, once her car was parked, She approached me and sat next to me without saying a word.
I was trying to find the best words to tell her but I had no idea what to say, so I decided to let my heart to the talking. As I looked at her, her radiant beauty mesmerized me, ma-king my love for her even stronger.. I was sure glad to have talked to my father about this. Thanks to him, Iām finally going to make the right choice with no regrets at all.
.
Peter ā” Angelinaā¦ Iām sorry..
.
Angelina ā” Sorry? For whatā¦ā¦..
.
Peter ā” For taking this long to make my decisionā¦ In fact Iām sorry for being so blind not to realize youāre all Iāve ever wantedā¦ Angelina.. I love you and I want you to be mine forever and ever.. I want you to accept me as your man.. I donāt want any man to be in your life except me.. Iā¦
.
Before I could finish, Angelina placed her f!nger on myl-ips shutting me up, after that She looked away trying to wipe the tears welling in her eyes.
.
Angelina ā” Silly boy.. You of all people should know that my heart belongs to you.. I love you Peter.. Iāve always have but thereās something I want you to promise me.. Promise me that Iāll be the only woman in your life.
.
I smiled and gr@bbĀ£d both her hands staring into her eyes lovingly. I reached out brushing her hair to the back of her ear, so that I could take a good look at her beautiful face.
.
Peter ā” Youāre alre-ady the only woman in life.. Youāre my comfort, joy, and happiness, and my heart will always be yours.
.
Feeling excited by my words, Angelina threw herself at me French k!ss!ngme ro-mantically.. I held her ti-ghtly relishing her sweetl-ips as we k!$$Ā£d. For the first time in our lives, there was no moment greater than the one weāre having one and this was something that would cement our future together as eternal couples.
