Nigeria Is A Place. Not A Country!!
Chioma omo ibo (English name-Katie) felt him grab her arm from behind her and yank her into the hallway. She offered no resistance. She did not even care if anyone had seen them. He led her down the dark hallway to the back of the house towards the east wing. He said nothing as he walked with angry force along the hardwood floors. His large black boots echoed throughout the empty space as they struck the floor.
The
glass double doors to the conservatory creaked loudly when he opened
them. Moonlight flooded the room filled with exotic vegetation, casting
shadows all around them.
He
whipped her body around to face him as he shoved her against the wall.
His gaze was fierce and his body shook from frustration.
Kate
felt herself grow breathless. In all the years she has known him, she
had never seen him this angry before. Looking back on it now, she may
have pushed him too far this time. He looked crazy.
The
light green of his eyes looked so animal like in the moonlight or maybe
it was the glare coming from them at her. They stood out against the
black of his hair that was hanging in his face. He didn't blink. He
didn't move. He just stood over her and stared at her, almost daring her
to turn away from him.
His
bare exposed chest rose and fell before her. The white shirt he wore
had been ripped open. Kate saw a drop of blood strike it as it fell from
his forehead.
"I-I
think you may have miss understood what-" Kate's words trailed silent
when his hands balled into fists on either side of her head.
This
was beginning to make her uncomfortable. She wished he would just start
yelling at her already and get it over with. The way he was looking at
her was unlike him.
He
never professed his love for me to anyone including myself. Am I to
wait until he is fit to tell me and miss out on fun or meeting new
people? So I danced with the one man he hates more than my brother. I do
not see what all the fuss is about. Who is he to tell me who I am to
accept a dance from? He never offered himself. I had told him last month
I was not going to wait forever and he had said don't, and now he has
the gull to become cross with me for listening to him. I have had about
enough of this!
"Are
you going to say something?" Kate asked. He didn't move. "I am not a
mind reader you know." She searched his gaze for any change. "I will not
allow you to treat me in this manner."
He leaned in closer to her face. "Oh no?" He finally said with a deep tone.
"No," Kate said. She narrowed her blue eyes at him.
"I
think you will allow me to do what I please with you Katie." He glanced
down at her lips. His body moved nearer to her. She could not push
herself against the wall any further. The tense anger coming off of him
was paralyzing. She needed to look away. His gaze burned into her,
through her and left her fighting for a steady breath.
He slid his hands up the wall and rested on his elbows at her head. With the rise of her breath her chest grazed against his. He leaned a little closer. "So you like to flirt because that is what you were doing with Beckum, Katie." He watched her eyes closely.
"I most certainly was not!" Kate shouted.
"You
were and you knew what you were doing!" He roared at her. Her lips
parted at what he said. "You knew I was watching you too. You knew how I
would react to it, but I suppose that's what you wanted to begin with,
isn't Katie?"
She remained silent and gazed down at the floor. He wanted answers damn it.
"You like to play games and flirt. Ok then." He pulled her chin up to face him. "Then flirt with me. Come on Katie, tease me."
To be continued tomorrow Friday through to Saturday.
Nigeria is a place not a country will be coming soon...
until then... its bye bye.
