CHAPTER 29

Justin’s POV
.
.
“Here, look over here Jay!” Gwen’s happy voice filled the air, and I tucked my hand in a pocket, a smile curved on my l-ips before I moved to her, she took my hand and led me in front of the people and I watched the direction she pointed.
Through the transparent net I could see an ape br-ast feeding it’s young one.

“Aren’t they the cutest thing ever?” Gwen said lovingly.

“Yes, they’re cute,” but hey, not the cutest thing ever, they’re ugly animals. They are other things that are more pretty than them.

“Awww” she mumbled and I smiled, pulling her closer to me.
We were in the zoo, well I took her there because I wanted to spend sometime with her, we’ve been dating for two days and honestly my love for her just keep waxing to a greater level, I don’t think I’ve loved anyone the way I love her.

She suggested coming here and even though i find it as one of the strangest places lovers came to catch fun I agreed and she just keep pulling me from one animal section to the other.
I discovered that anything was fun for me as long as Gwen was right beside me, she was all I could ask for; Caring, beautiful and sweet.

Just as you might’ve guessed, most of the guys here had their gaze lust-fully on her, it took so much courtesy not to shove my fist in their faces so instead I wrap my hand around Gwen and gave them the ‘keep-off’ look which sent their gaze back to somewhere else.
You have to be over protective when you have a pretty girl and Gwen just takes my arm innocently, if only she knows I was keeping the pokers off.

I was eager to leave, the guys were giving her too much attention and I’m not comfortable with it but Gwen doesn’t seem eager to leave, she just kept pulling me along to anywhere she went and just as we stood, watching the ape br-ast feeding it’s young one I sighted a guy on a v-necked shirt coming toward us or should I say to Gwen,my fist clenched, he was almost close to us so I shifted closer to Gwen and wrapped my hand around body, resting my head on her shoulder I placed a k-ss on her cheeks and she ruffled my hair then turned and k-ssed me back on my cheek while I wrapped my hand around her wa-ist,
From the corner of my eyes I could see the guy stop in his track with his gaze on me sadly before he retreated to wherever he came from.

“Gwen, let’s leave here” I said.

“why?” she questioned “I like it here, the animals are really cute”

“They are but we’ve been here for over three hours, we haven’t had time together yet” I said.

“Huh,” her brows narrowed “But we’re together…

“Watching the animals Gwen, I’m talking about spending fun times with my girlfriend”

“Isn’t this fun?”

“Honestly, it’s not and these guys are killing it more” I said, she looked over at the guy whose eyes was on her before turning to me intertwining our fingers and saying.
“Okay, let’s go”.
We moved out of the zoo and we took a taxi to the park, our hand intertwined and Gwen’s head on my shoulder, the afternoon breeze blowing through the car window and hitting my face.

The driver parked close to the park and I paid while we got down, we moved to the park and Gwen face me, standing akimbo.

“Now, what do we do here?”

“Let’s try the roller castle first–

“That stuff makes you tipsy, you feel like you’re drunk”

“And do crazy things, you know people act crazy when drunk” I said and she hit me playfully.

“But it’s for kids..

“And it’s more fun than watching desperate guys stare at my girlfriend”
she rolled her eyes.

“Let’s go up then but you’re riding with me” she said.

“Of course, I can’t take such risk” I said and held her palm, pulling her to the castle.
.
Guy’s POV
.
“How many girlfriends have you had before me?” Hailey asked.
We were in my room and her head was on my laps while my hand car-ssed her hair.

“Six” I answered.

“Six, that’s quite big. so tell me about the first” she said.

“Her name was Diana–

“You still remember her name” she stood up and faced me expressionless.

“Yes I do, we dated in my second year at middle school,” I said.

“How’s she like?” she asked folding her hand and my brows narrowed, why’s she acting this way.

“She had green eyes, dark hair that she mostly tied in ponytails, she was pretty and slender and she had this likeness for meatballs, her favorite color was–

“I didn’t ask for her history Guy and I can’t believe you still very much remember your first ex” she said.

“Are you angry?” I asked.

“No. I don’t even remember much of my last ex other than his name but you know everything about your first ex”

“Is there anything wrong with that?”

“No,” her l-ips twitched “So tell me, was she prettier than me or is her dark hair more prettier than mine?”

“Wait, are you jealous?”

“Am I not supposed to be, that my boyfriend knows everything about his ex and not me is not enough reason to be jealous?”

“Hailey, that was about twelve years ago..

“It doesn’t matter” she snapped.

“OK,listen. You’re more prettier than Diana and I love your hair more than hers” I said.

“I can’t find sincerity in your eyes Guy”

“Everything I felt for Diana is in the past, it’s you that matters now” I said.

“But you know her more than me, you know everything about her” she said.

“Okay, okay, how about we get to know each other I mean everything about ourselves?” I tucked her hair behind her ear.

“Yes, let’s start from–

“A k-ss, we’ll start with a k-ss” I said.

“OK,let’s start with that” she bent her head forward to k-ss me and I bent mine too, just few inches apart the door flung open.

“Mom wants you both for dinner” Shirley walked in and we quickly pulled apart “And ugh! make sure of privacy before you do stuffs like that, kids live here too” she warned before moving out..

Huh!

SEASON 2
FINALE
.
.
Alex’s POV
.
.
The wh0le crowd applauded including me as the k-ss Linda and Jake shared ended, they both looked lovingly at each other and I couldn’t help but smile.
They really are a cute couple.
It’s been two weeks already since after gabby’s recovery and the wedding date of Anne’s parent was fixed.

It was the the D-day, Linda and Jake’s wedding, it wasn’t that buoyant though, just a simple white wedding in a small church and not many people were invited, right now I’m with Gabriella, she was putting on a purple strapless gown and black heels that matched her free hair. Gwen was behind us, Linda deemed it fit to invite her because, well she was part of Anne’s life too.
The church wedding ended and we all moved to the reception which was few miles away from the church, the reception was in a big hotel which was already decorated.

“Uncle!” Anne ran to me once I was settled with gabby.

“Hey cupcake,” I lifted her and placed a k-ss on her cheeks.
She looked more prettier with her flair black dress, a small jacket and ugh! she had make up, that was where the difference came from.
“How’re you doing?”

“I’m fine, Dad got me two big ice cream cones yesterday and I’m super happy..

“But two ice creak cones can damage your teeth honey”

“I know that’s why I’m taking it bit by bit”

“So you’re taking a spoonful each day I guess..

“No! I licked a cone and half yesterday, I’ll lick the half today”

“Is that bit by bit?” I asked surprised and she shrugged.

“Hello miss Gabby,” she faced Gabriella who looked kinda surprised.

“Oh, hey”

“I heard you lost a baby, sorry about it” she said and gabby nodded then pinched her cheeks a bit.

“Uncle Alex?” she faced me “Will you give miss Gabby another baby?”

“Uh, ye–

“Make it two! one for the one in heaven and one for us” she said and I and gabby laughed.

“Two it is then” I slightly poked her cheeks and she smiled.

“Miss Gwen isn’t here yet?” she looked around..

“She–

“Gwen!” she got down and ran to Gwen who hugged her immediately.

“I’ll get us drinks,” Gabby stood up.

“No, I’ll do it” I said.

“No Alex, I feel nervous just sitting here, I’ll just get the drink and clear my nerves while I’m at it” she said

“OK, take care”

“I will” she pecked my cheek and left to the little bar.

I stood up to go meet Jake when I saw him hand shaking some men whom I assumed to be his friends.

“Hey man,”

“Alex!”

“Congratulations” We shook hands.
“Thanks man,” he smiled “Anne’s really happy”

“Of course,” I smiled too “She mentioned the two big ice cream cones you got her yesterday”

“Such a big mouth, she definitely got that from me,” his smile twitched “Don’t let her mom know that”

“No qualms, I understand women” I said and we laughed, from the corner of my eyes I could see Linda also smiling at some female guests.

“Jakey Jake” a young man came and Jake hugged him, I nodded at Jake and walked to Gwen’s seat, Anne had left.

“Hey Alex,” she said and I took a seat beside her.

“Hey, it’s good to see you and you look pretty”

“Wait until my boyfriend hears that” she said and I smiled.

“Oops, I had no idea he came” I said.

“Don’t worry, he’s not here. You’re safe” I laughed.

“Well, I was only saying the truth” I shrugged “Nice wedding huh?”

“Indeed, Linda’s really hot in that wedding dress. I’d go say my congratulation it’s almost time for dance” she stood up.

“Okay, I’ll go look for Gabby” I stood up too and we both walked our ways, I went to the Little bar for drinks but gabby wasn’t there, I looked around, she was no where around here.

My brows narrowed and I moved around and looked. still no gabby sign.

“Oh, Alex” I turned and saw nanny Letitia.

“Nanny,” I hugged her.

“I’ve been looking around for you” she said.

“Why?”

“I wanted to inform you I’d no longer work at your house, Jake wants me to stop” I kept mute for awhile.

“Oh, I expected that”

“Will you be okay on your own son?”

“Yes, I’ll be fine–

“If you need me I’ll stay, I know you can’t really cook and you need help with cleaning–

“Nanny,” I stopped her “I’ll be fine, honestly”

“Okay but don’t worry, I’ll send you meals sometimes”

“OK, if you want to”

“I will”

“Granny, have you seen Gabriella anywhere?”

“Oh yes, I saw her going to the bathroom, she must be there”

“OK, I’ll go search for her” I said.

“Don’t forget sweetie, you can always call me if you need help with anything, okay?” granny said, with a sad look in her eyes.

Awww, so caring.

“I’ll remember granny, have fun OK” I k-ssed her forehead and head to the ladies.

I took the turn that demarcated the female’s restroom to the gents and saw Gabby, her back was at me and in her front was a guy, smiling at her and talking words I couldn’t hear, my fist tightened as I marched to them.

“Excuse me mister, mind if I have my wife now?” I faced the guy with a glare.

“Alex,” Gabby turned.

“Your wife?” he asked.
I took gabby hand and stretched the ring finger with a ring to his face.

“Yes,” I faced the ring, with gritted teeth “My wife”

“Oh, ” he frowned, “I’m so sorry, I had no idea and besides I mean no harm”

“I know that, so I’d just go with my wife” I took gabby wrist and led her out.
.
Gabriella’s POV
.
“Alex,” i took my wrist out of his hand “Stop” I said and he faced me with a surprised look.

“What?”

“Alex we have to stop this,” I said and his brows narrowed.

“Stop what?”

“This relationsh¡p, we both know you don’t love me Alex, you’re doing all this things for my happiness not yours. We know it’s not me you want” I said and my eyes were getting misty.

“Gabby–

“I see how you look at me, I know you care about me but you trying to force yourself to love me too isn’t right”

“But I gave you a ring

“Yes, because you want me to be happy but deep down Alex you don’t belong to me, it’s not me you love,” a tear fell “The only thing that’s supposed to make us this way is gone, I killed it. You don’t have any reason to keep acting this way, I care about your happiness same way you care about mine Alex and I know I don’t deserve you, you deserve someone better, caring is one thing and love is another. You need to find a girl you love, someone you’ll look at everyday and know that she’s the one, someone that really deserves you, not a pity made relationsh¡p” more tears fell.
“Look Alex, I love you. That’s why I want you to be happy, your happiness doesn’t lie with me, I appreciate everything you’re doing just to make me happy but I can’t stay knowing that you’re with me because I need you to not because you want to,I can’t wake up knowing that I’m married to a man because he cares about me and doesn’t love me” he stretched his hand to wipe my tears but I took it and held it in mine.

“Don’t you want to marry me?” he asked.

“Alex, you deserve so much happiness and I’m not part of it, as much as I want to marry you, I can’t. I can’t keep you because I want you to be mine it’s not right, you were a very good friend, all I could ask for in a friend and a husband but you’re not mine, you have to find the one for you” The tears came more rapidly and this time I let his hands wipe them and let them rest my head on the comfort of his manly broad chest.

I cried on it and his hand soothed my back.
I couldn’t be greedy, I already knew he didn’t love me right from when he proposed, the looks in his eyes when they meet mine doesn’t spell love.
He only cares about me and is trying to make me happy but that’s not what I want, the fact is still that he doesn’t love me. I can’t keep holding him because I love him, he needs to find someone for him too and I know it’s not me.

“Gabby,” his voice came out a bit cold “You’re right, I might not love you as much as you love me but I do love you, I love you and I care a lot about you” I sniffed.

“When I saw you fighting for your life in that hospital bed I realized how much you mean to me, I realized I couldn’t lose you just yet and I couldn’t imagine my life without you. Regardless of your past life you’ve taught me positive things too and knowing that you still love me up till this time makes me happy” My heart melted a bit.

“I love you gabby and I’m still learning to love you more,”

“Alex” I breathed and looked at him.
“If my love isn’t enough to let us make a family then we would use yours together and make mine stronger, you matter a lot to me” he hugged me and my hand flew round his neck, hugging him with happiness in my heart.

We disengaged and he smile, I reciprocated with tears in my eyes.

“We’ll get married, right?”

“Yes, we will” I breathed out, the emotions bursting out.

“And have a houseful of beautiful kids,” I chuckled “With pretty faces like yours and curly hair like mine, we’ll have about ten kids”

“Ten!” I gasped.

“It’s too small? how about twenty?”

“Don’t be silly Alex that’s way too much, we’ll be having only four kids” I smiled.

“Just four? That doesn’t make a house full” he pouted.

“That’s what I want”

“Then we’re making it seven..

“Alex!!” I faced him and he laughed before pulling me into a hug.

“We’ll decide about the kids number later, let’s have fun now” he said and k-ssed my l-ips the walked me back to the reception.
