🎭 Chapter Thirty one (31)
⭕ Semi Final ⭕
RIChærd quietly walked into the sitting room and met Annette; his Annette sitted on the sofa and busy with her pedicure treatments, he smiled
He leaned on the door frame and watched her, and watched his woman
Well, she had finally given him her address after much persuasion though, and since then, he’s been visiting
This was his fourth visit
He looked at his wrist watch and gently walked up to her
Annette looked up and smiled
“Oh Rich”, she smiled and offered him her cheek, he pecked it
“Yeah bae”, he squatted in front of her and looked into her eyes
He smiled, this girl really worth it, he couldn’t wait to take her to the alter
“I’m sorry you have to stop that now”, he twisted his l-ips
She looked at him, and he nodded
She shook her head
“Well you’ve to wait until…..”
“Please”, he interrupted, gosh! She was stubborn
She hesitated and as he couldn’t wait any longer, he took away the pedicure materials she was holding and dropped them on the sofa, then stood her up
She was confused, what was going on?
“Where we going?”, she asked
He smiled
“Just keep shut and follow my lead”
She nodded, well he should do whatever pleases him
They walked to the hallway and he placed his two hands on her eyes, covering them as he led behind her
They walked to a room and he opened it, still covering her eyes
As they got into the room, he removed his hands from her eyes and gave her time to take in all that was happening
Wow!
She couldn’t believe what she saw
Flowers of different kinds with sweet smells scattered around the floor, on the chairs and on the window panes
Lights bulbs of different colours were blinking all around
A slow music played in the background
The room scented so sweet of strawberry candy and she couldn’t help closing her eyes to inhale the sweet smell
But hold on, when has Richærd done this?
She’s been in the house all through, so when has he done this and taken her unawares
This guy was a surprise
But what was really happening? Why had he brought her here?
She opened her eyes and saw Richærd going on one kneel in front of her
What!
Oh my God, was it?
She couldn’t believe it, her hands closed on her mouth, her eyes were w¡dened in shock
Richærd went down on one knee and held out a gold starlet ring before her
He seemed nervous, although he smiled to cover up
“Anne?”, he called, his voice was so emotional, “the past few months I’ve spent with you was something I so much cherish, and just couldn’t afford to miss it, my wh0le life…..my entire life”, he paused
Annette couldn’t hold herself anymore, she began whimpering tears of happiness
“The first day I set my eyes on you, I knew it’s you and no other, please Anne, be mine”, he held out the ring to her
She couldn’t still believe it, she was so shocked and absolutely surprised
Everything was…… ohh God, everything was inexplicably
She looked down at the guy proposing to her and the tears poured out the more, she closed her eyes
Even though they were so close as friends, he never expected him to make her his wife.
I mean, he’s an actor, d–n rich and she wasn’t even half up to his co-workers, the actresses, yet he chose her
She opened her eyes and looked at him again
“Please”, he said
She nodded and stretched her left hand to him
“Yes, I’ll……I’ll”, she said happily
“Oh my God, you for real?”, he asked
She smiled and nodded
“Yes”
He took her left hand and slipped in the ring
She looked at it, wow!
It was pure gold
“Thank you”, he said and they embraced
“I should thank you Rich, I should”, she laughed
Just then, her phone rang, it was on the sofa by the door
Oh! She hope not, she hope it wasn’t him
Why would he dare mar this sweet moment with his bad memories
She looked at Richærd, and he looked at her
“Since you’re not getting the phone I should”, he said and walked to the sofa
*******★*******★*******
Fred picked up his phone and dialed Annette, he hopes she picks
This wasn’t the first time, he’s been calling for ages but she wasn’t picking it up
She was the only hope they had, the only person who could help them
The doctor has said Sochima just had days to live if something wasn’t done, he was scared
As usual she didn’t pick up the phone, he sighed and sat down on the couch
He was sad, d–n so sad
Look what’s he going through now as a result of the crime committed years ago
He bent his head and a tear escaped his eyes
He was really sorry
“Anne I’m sorry, d–n so sorry”, he muttered, “if you could please just hear me out”, he said
He dialed the contact again, it was the same thing, she didn’t pick up
*********★********★********
Richærd took the phone and looked into it, the number, yes it was the number
He had noticed this particular number has been calling for ages now, but she wasn’t picking it up, nor making attempt to
He looked at her, and she took her eyes away
He knew she wasn’t telling him something, besides it might got something to do with her family, and she had also been avoiding questions about her family
He walked up to her
“Tell me Anne? Tell me what’s bothering you?”, he asked softly
Annette sighed, that dare devil dare call her to spoil the sweet moment she was having
How dare he?
He had betrayed her and closed chapters with her, why was he still calling?
What does he want? He doesn’t ever want to talk with him, or even have anything to do with him again
She looked at Richærd and decided it was time she tell him the wh0le truth, and not hide anything from him again
“I’m waiting babe”, he said, jolting her back to reality
“Who’s that always calling?”
She sighed
“He’s my ex-husband”
His eyes w¡dened in shock
“I’ll tell you the truth”, she said and flopped down on the sofa, ready to say the truth. ©️
