Rabbit love episode 10
Rabhit love episode 10
With all the drama’s around me, from Vivian who had finally forgiven Kola to Dency who had stopped being friendly with me claiming that i was putting too much pressure on her to forgive her father. I hadn’t even realized that the week was far spent, it was already friday, the day we were expecting Kelvin’s younger brother.
I had supervised the maids who tidied up the room the previous day, i made sure everything was in their perfect shape. I even put fresh flowers in his room which wasn’t Nigerian-like, i didn’t even know why i was doing it, i guess i was trying to impress the first member of Kelvin’s family that i would meet.
I was off to work by 8:30AM, it was the last day of the African Fashion Summit and i will be working down the runway with a popular Nigerian Designer Temmie Black ‘Girl power’ new clothing collection.
I got to work and Dency just said ‘good morning’ to me and walked away, i ignored her, knowing she will come around, she was only fighting the desire to forgive her dad.
The show ended quiet late, around 6PM, it was the final day, so there were lots of talks, and finally the interviews cos the hall was packed with reporters.

I got home really, really exhausted, the wh0le house was silent, meaning that all the workers in the house has retired for the night, i pushed the door and it gave way and i entered and went straight to my room. I met Kelvin lying down, i tiptoed to the bathroom, not wanting to disturb his sleep.
I came out few minutes later after taking a warm shower.
I met Kelvin with his laptop when i came back into the room.
”Hey baby, welcome back” he said to me without taking his eyes off his computer screen. I noticed that his voice sounded like he was troubled or unhappy and his mood wasn’t anything to write home about.
”Did anything happen to his brother”
my chest instantly tightened up when that thought came to my mind, first of all there was nothing unusual in the house to indicate that anyone came to visit from abroad.
”Is anything wrong” i asked him
”no, nothing , why did you ask?”
”never mind. Where is your brother, hasn’t he arrived yet?”
This time around he looked at me.
”He has, i sent my driver to pick him at the airport by 4 PM, he’s been in this house now for two hours” he said and hissed.
I ignored the tone of his voice.
”why isn’t there any indication that your young brother is around” i asked.
”what do you mean?”
”i mean, if you didn’t want to throw a welcome party, a special dinner won’t hurt your ego”
”Is he the president or what” he asked me slightly raising his voice on me.
”i get it, there is a kind of bad blood existing between you and your bro but don’t you think you should keep that aside and aleast welcome him properly” i said trying to make him reason with me but he flared up instead.
”welcome him properly? For what? Did i invite him” he said angrily.
”am sorry” i said and moved closer to him putting my hands over his shoulder and our progesterone and testosterone hormone took over.

I woke up the next morning feeling weak with love marks all over my body.
I got out of bed just as i heard, the door opposite ours; Sam’s room, open.
I walked to the bathroom and freshen up and stepped out feeling fresh in my loosed skirt and a baggy top.
It was a saturday, meaning no work nor outing till evening.
Kelvin was still sleeping, so i left to the sitting room.
I met sam there, with his back towards the door.
”Hello” i said when i got closer.
I could see his dark, luscious hair from behind, there were wavy lines in it, making it appear better.
”Hy, goodmorning” he replied without turning back.
”Am Becky, nice to meet you” i said without going closer.
He turned towards me and i stepped back in awe.
Kelvin was a learner compared to his brother when it comes to look.
His thick eyebrows like that of Drake, thick and long lashes like they were fake and his shiny olive brown skin colour coupled with those eyes that couldn’t be called perfect, perfect was an understatement.
”Uhm, any problem” he asked me.
I mentally kicked myself for acting foolish in his presence.
”no, nothing at all”
”well, your mouth was open a while ago, and i thought there was something wrong” he said with a thick american accent.
”sorry about that, what do you want for breakfast” i asked moving closer to him.
”Hello, what’s that in his hands” i asked myself.
”Omellete and a hot cup of tea would be nice”
”alright, what do you have in your hands”
”A Bible” he replied like it was the most normal thing to say.
The last time i had seen a Bible was about 7 months ago.
Now i understand why Kelvin doesn’t like him, Kelvin wasn’t a religious person at all, he wasn’t even a bench warmer talk more of being born again.
”Any probs” he asked me drawing my attention again.
”no, nothing”
i turned to walk away and i saw Kelvin standing behind us with folded arms and anger written all over his face.
”what was that all about” Kelvin asked, forcefully grabbing my hands immediately i got into the room.
”stop it, you are hurting me” i said trying to release my arms from his grip but it wasn’t possible as he was way muscular and bigger than me.
”Is it his bed that you have choosen to warm next” he asked increasing the force with which he held my hand.
”what did you say” i asked with anger in my voice.
”You heard me right, you who*e” he said and pushed me into the bed and left to the bathroom.
I layed down there crying like my life depended on it and by the time he came out from the bathroom after taking a shower, my crying has already reduced to sobbing.
He didn’t even look at me, his facial expression wasn’t even friendly.
”Kel, i am sorry” I said to him without even knowing why i was apologizing.
He still remained in the position he was without even casting a glance at me but what he did next threw me off balance, he started singing Ariana Grande’s song-problem.
”…I’ve got one less problem without you, I’ve got one less, one less problem…”
I closed my ears with the pillow to shut his voice out but his voice became louder.
When i couldn’t take it anymore, i ran into the bathroom and cried my eyes out there after which, i washed my face and by the time i came out, he was gone leaving a lingering scent of his mild perfume.
****
i spent the morning in my room sobbing silently and standing at the window wishing for him to drive in but it didn’t work.
Each time i closed my eyes and wished for him to come in, when i open my eyes, there will be nothing.
It was already noon and my stomach was already rumbling, but i wasn’t in the mood for eating.
I was on a strict diet of leafy vegetables and fruits because of my photoshoot for Ok! Magazine in two weeks time.
I tried to ignore my stomach and concentrate on more important matters like wishing for Kelvin to walk in but my stomach still persisted.
I turned to the door when i heard a gentle knock on the door.
”who is there”
”It’s sam” his deep captivating voice rang from the door.
I feet heat rising in my stomach.
”Go away please” i said instead ignoring the real thing that i was feeling.
”am sorry, please come out and eat something, you’ve not had any food since morning” he said gently.
”I said go away, you caused this, i shouldn’t have talked to you if i knew that it would cause problem for me” i said and immediately regretted it.
He kept quiet for a while before he finally spoke.
”sorry for getting you into trouble”
”Go away” i said sternly trying to hide my true emotions.
”alright i will go but please come out” he said and i heard him walk away.
I instantly felt empty.
I started hitting myself for speaking so rudely to him.
I felt like running after him and apolozing.
****
”Am glad, you changed your mind” he said when i came into the sitting room.
”yeah, sorry about the way i spoke to you earlier” i said sitting opposite him.
”No offence taken, you were angry and it was normal to react that way”
”but still i am sorry” i said calmly.
”alright Becky, apology accepted”
The sound of my name and the way his mouth curved to say my name instantly made me forget i was in a bad mood.
”how did you know my name”
”you are the next big thing after Naomi Campbell so knowing you name is as easy as ABC, besides your photographs and name is everywhere in this sitting room” he said gesturing to the large wallpaper opposite the Television.
”oh” i simply said.
”i made something for you” he said gently with his thick accent.
A gasp escaped my mouth, thank God i wasn’t eating, i would have chocked on the food.
”made, as in cook?” i asked recovering from the impact of his words.
”yeah, cook, and why are you so surprised, men are better cooks than women”
”definately not the twenty first century men”
”well, if it might interest you to know, cooking is my hobby”
Another wave of shock hit me!
”will you keep staring or you will check out what i cooked for you”
he asked and i came back to my senses, i didn’t realize i had been staring at him.
”am famished”
I dashed to the kitchen and he followed me, though i didn’t turn to look but i could feel it.
Few minutes later, i was devouring the delicious spaghetti he made for me, he was truly a good cook, i had forgotten that i was on a strict diet the moment i perceived the aroma.
”thanks for these meal” i said to him.
”it’s the least i could do after getting you in trouble with your boyfriend”
”fiance” i corrected.
”pardon me, i had no idea”
i instantly lost my appetite, so Kelvin didn’t tell his family about our engagement, no wonder he kept it away from the press and asked me not to wear my engagement ring to public functions.
Another strange emotion eveloped me—hatred, hatred for Kelvin and the way he treats me.
I lost track of time while gisting with Sam; he was the most lively person apart from Vivian, that i have ever met.
He was capable of making you forget your sorrows and the wh0le world around.
I ran to my room when i heard Kelvin’s car horn at about 8PM.
He came in and i heard him slam the door and before you know it, i started hearing his voice and that of Sam.
I didn’t clearly hear what they were saying , but i heard Sam telling Kelvin to forgive me.
I smiled in amusement, how can he be angry when i did nothing wrong in the first place.
The voices stopped and i ran to the bed and pretended to be asleep, incase Kelvin walks in.
I heard him walk in and i was expecting him to slam the door but he closed it gently.
”Maybe his brother talked sense into him” i thought to myself.
I shut my eyes tightly, I knew he was close to me. because i could perceive his scent, i just stayed mute, i didn’t move an inch.
I only moved a little when i felt his hands on my arms.
”Baby, i am sorry for my outburst this morning”
I just twitched my mouth and continued in my pretence.
”Am sorry, please look at me, i know you are not sleeping” he continued.
I still remained silent.
”alright, just look at me even if you will not forgive me”
I turned slowly and i was shocked to see him kneeling beside me.
At the mere sight of him kneeling down, all the anger and hatred i felt towards him disappeared into thin air.
I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out, i was touched beyond explanation.
”Baby, am so sorry, am sorry for being so unreasonable this morning, am sorry for hurting you, am so sorry for everything, please forgive me” he said while still kneeling.
Tears began pouring down my eyes when i remembered how unfairly he treated me that morning, he tried to wipe my tears with his hands but i pushed it away and got up from the bed.
”am on my knees, please forgive me” he continued pleading and my heart began softening and before you knew it, i was leaning on him and crying.
****
”Do your like it” he asked, showing his perfect white dentition.
”yes, i love it” i replied touching the diamond encrusted necklace he gave me earlier as a gift for forgiving him.
”We will meet with two of my friends at a resturant for dinner, before going to the Cinema for the late night movie” he said while carassing my exposed thighs.
”it’s alright” i replied shifting my legs away from his hands, I was wearing a skimpy red coloured gown with a deep cut and a sleeveless hand. The clothes were too exposed and i know it but i had to wear it because Kelvin picked it out himself.
”why are you moving away, haven’t you forgiven me” he asked returning his hands to my legs.
”i have forgiven you but i just want you to concentrate on your driving” i lied to him, although it wasn’t far from the truth, his touch was getting me irritated and at the same time my safety was also my priority.
My heart skipped a bit when i remembered what Sam had told me earlier when i came into the sitting room dressed for my outing.
”I have a bad feeling about this outing, please don’t go”
I ignored him and went out.
”maybe he’s jealous of me and his brother” i thought to myself.
”why are you silent” Kelvin asked me, taking the bend that led to the resturant where we were to meet his friends.
”nothing, where were you earlier today?” i asked and his face stiffened a bit before returning to his normal expression.
I just knew he was about to lie to me.
”i was hanging out with my friends and please don’t ask me which friends”
”alright, can you ask you something else”
”yes baby”
”why didn’t you tell your family about our engagement”
He laughed loudly.
”I told them, who told you that lie?”
”your brother said he wasn’t aware of the engagement” i said to him.
”My brother is a big liar then, cos all my family members are aware of our engagement”
”but…”
”no but, we are already there” he said entering into the resturant. He parked carefully and we walked in hand in hand, we saw his friends already waiting.
We sat down and they both introduced themselves as Clarence and Henry.
They already knew who i was so there was no point in introducing me to them.
We ordered food and started gisting about stuffs happening in Nigeria ranging from politics to entertainment.
We soon finished there, paid the bills and headed out of the resturant.
The last thing i remembered was that i got into the car. When i woke up, i was semi-unclad, my cloth were gone leaving me in just my underwear. I turned around but the place didn’t look familiar, it was probably a hotel, i looked out of the window and everywhere was bright, i didn’t know for how long i had stayed there, i started crying.
Just then Kelvin came in smiling and waving a camera at me.
”everything has been recorded so, henceforth you will do whatever i say or i will release this s*xtape and ruin your career and your perfect life.” he said and walked out laughing loudly.
