Kobby let out a sarcastic chuckle and turned his head coming face to face with Calia. He didn't know when she woke up or how long she had stayed in that position watching him. Calia smiled when their eyes t. The sound of the phone's speaker was a little loud even though it wasn't on loudspeaker. Calia seed to have heard everything as her eyes burrowed into him.
''Hello, are you still there? Actually, I don't an to be this an by stating all these cruel facts but the truth is, you and Calia are not fit for each other'' Rihan said when she heard no sound from the other side.
Calia sat up straight on the seat and lifted her hand casually towards the phone. She took it from Kobby's hand and spoke while holding Kobby's gaze.
''You are the one who doesn't deserve Kobby''
Rihan took the phone from her ears and checked the number before putting it back on her ear.
''You two were really together?'' Rihan said.
''Listen to Rihan because I hate to repeat myself. I am a woman who has little patience and a really bad temper. I don't know how long I have to endure this silly ga of yours but don't say I didn't warn you. Kobby is my man. I don't care whether he is a single father or not. my family isn't so delusional old fashioned aristocratic family that classify people based on their status in life. Your family's hospital? I can give my man 100 hospitals but I doubt he would want that because he isn't after what I have. He is a hardworking man who is capable of succeeding on his own and doesn't need to rely on a woman to achieve his goals. I was thinking of enduring you because of my aunt, but not anymore. You and I can never be friends, we only have a working relationship which will end the mont this show is over. Don't you dare tell my man any nonsense, do you hear ?''
Calia said all that and hung them not giving Rihan the chance to retort back. Back at the hotel, Rihan looked at the ended called and scread. She threw the glass on the floor angrily.
Calia handed the phone over to Kobby saying, ''here, I'm sorry I took it from you. I just couldn't bear to listen to all the nonsense she was spouting''
''I know. I'm sorry you had to hear all that. I was speaking softly but I still woke you up?'' Kobby said.
''No, you didn't wake up. I usually sleep late. I have been working tirelessly because of my show that is coming up and also on Maria's proposal party. I think I got a lot of good sleep just now'' Calia looked at her wrist watch ''is almost 22:30AM, you should go ho and rest too''
''Do you not get enough sleep because of the show?'' Kobby asked softly and worriedly and Calia yawned and nodded her head.
''Yes, it happens every ti we are having a show. Is always crazy but I'm used to it. I will get enough sleep after everything is over. Why? Are you worried about ?'' Calia asked and cocked her brows.
''Yes, I am worried about the woman who just claid as her man. If she breaks down because of working too much, I wonder who will say such heart fluttering words to ?'' Kobby said and Calia flushed. She realised they were leaning closer to each other and attempted to move her body back but Kobby held her wrist and casually placed it on his thigh making her to flush as he leaned even closer to her.
Calia vaguely saw his face leaning in but her mind went blank and she instinctively closed her eyes. The way he placed her hand on his thigh made them so intimate and Calia felt an electric current that flowed from his thighs to her hands and to all parts of her body. She felt her body heating up and her breath broke.
Kobby smiled seeing her reaction. It was a well-intended move that he made because he wanted her hand closer to himself but didn't want her to feel the sound of his heart beating fast by placing her hand on her chest. He then placed her hand on his thigh which turned out to be a mistake because a certain part of his body started heating up. He hurriedly kissed her forehead and moved backwards.
Calia opened her eyes and looked at him. He only just kissed her forehead. She didn't know whether to cry or be happy about that. Her whole body was heating up and she didn't think she would have minded if he kissed her on the lips but he just kissed her forehead after ssing with her heart? She didn't dare look at him and looked outside.
'Go inside and rest. Tonight is our first day' Kobby said and Calia turned and looked at him confused.
''First dayof what?'' Calia asked.
''You just said I was your man? It ans I am going to be the one doing the chasing now. You just be where you are and I will et you'' Kobby said and tussled her hair playfully. Calia was totally out of it as she stared at him unbelievably. ''Why are you looking at like that?'' Kobby asked.
''Wait, I think my mind just experience a mont of shock. Did you just say that to right now?'' Calia asked.
''Is real, I just did say that to you. Calia, if you don't get down right now, I will take it that you want to go further than just kissing your forehead. It took a lot of self-control to do that'' Kobby teased her and she pursed her lips and got down. she waited and waved at him as he drove out of the big compound.
Calia smiled and turned to go to her quarters and saw her grandfather and got startled.
''Grandpa, you scared ? what are you doing up at this ti?'' Calia asked.
''I ca out to your quarters to ask you to help score a round. I didn't expect you not to be inside but rather outside with a man. tell , who is he? Your boyfriend?'' Old Mr. Denarius asked.
''Grandpa, don't even think about running a check on him?'' Calia warned the old man.
''I won' do that. I already had enough with Ad-Din. Do you think I like doing that? I am just worried about you people but you don't seem to care about my kind intentions at all'' the old man whined.
''Grandpa, that's not the case. Co inside, I will help you score a round and also tell you sothing even worth hearing'' Calia said and opened her door, going in with her grandpa.
''what? She wants to propose to Ad-Din?'' Old Mr. Denarius asked and looked at Calia.
''Yes, grandpa. The day is tomorrow and you and everyone must be there. Maria asked to invite you but I was so busy that I didn't get the ti to tell you''
''She really asked to be there? Doesn't she hate for what I did?'' Old Mr. Denarius asked sceptically.
''Not at all, grandpa. Maria is not that kind of person. Grandpa, right now, she needs our support. Ad-Din doesn't know about it and we intend to make it a surprise one. You know, he has been avoiding Maria for the past one month because of his relapse but Maria doesn't want him to feel lonely. This is for the future of your grandchild. Who knows, the great grandchild that you want might co from them'' Calia said and nudged at her grandpa.
''So, everyone will be there tomorrow?''
''Yes, grandpa. So, you must attend and give them your support. Now, let help you score a level'' Calia said and took the phone from her grandpa. Old Mr. Denarius was an avid ga lover but couldn't pass the second level. Anyti he got stuck, he would call Calia to play and pass a level for him.
.....
Maria paced around the hall and turned the mont the door knob turned. She rushed forward and spoke as Kobby changed his shoes.
''Kobby, what do I do? I am so nervous right now. I don't think I can sleep. I have been waiting for this day for a long ti but now that it is just hours away, I can't seem to calm down. Tell . Do you think Ad-Din would appreciate doing this? would he accept my proposal? Aahhh, I don't know, I am so confused and don't know what to do. What if Ad-Din rejects my proposal and even breaks up with ?''
''Portia, calm down'' Kobby said and touched her shoulders. ''Now, breath in and breath out' Maria followed his instructions. 'Now, look at '' Maria looked at him.
''Maria Portia Lee, there is no braver person that I know than you. You will do just great tomorrow. You and Ad-Din love each other so much and I am sure he will be very touched by your sincerity''
''You think so? I an, I haven't seen him in a month. I don't know how he is and what he is up to. I am only sure that he watches from afar but, I really missed him Kobby. I missed him and I hate that he is going through so much pain and I can't even help him'' Maria said.
''Ad-Din has gotten a lot better now. He wants to show you a better side of him that's why he is taking so much ti. Don't worry too much. You need to sleep and just get ready to et your man tomorrow''
''Okay, I will try and get so sleep though is going to be pretty hard'' Maria said and Kobby smiled before hugging her. Her nerves cald down.
