"kyle" I simply say
"Nicole" he answers back
What was he doing here? I thought i made it clear that i want nothing to do with him. Is he here to beg me to change my mind? Or he could be here to confirm if what i said i meant or not? Does this mean he cares?? Hell!! This is why i didn't want him to come, I'm starting to question myself and the decision i made. No i can't do that! I'm not going back on my word! . Geez i feel like I'm going crazy! Why is this happening to me!?
"What do you want?" I stood with one hand on the door handle looking straight into his eyes where i could see a whole new world through them
"I want you" he was so calm with his hands in his pockets looking back at me
"I said everything i wanted to say to you over the fone, there is nothing to say anymore" i was still holding my ground
"Can i come in?" Should he? Should i let him in? No that would be a sign of weakness. He took a step forward but i blocked him with my other hand.
"No you can't come in. Like i said i have nothing to say to you. So please leave" i wasn't backing down
"Nicole please" he took his face with both his hands and stepped back
"Just leave and don't come back" i tried closing the door but he blocked it with his hand before i can do it
"Nicole this is stupid!"... He pushed the door and pushed his way inside and left me by the door. By the time i found the will to move and go inside he was already seated in the dining area
"Hey! . .." i rushed to him "hey! Get out"
"No nicole I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving untill you tell me what it is that you want from me. I'm not leaving here untill you make up that mind of yours okay. So if i were you i would start talking"
Who does he think he is? "I don't owe you any explanations . .. i just don't want you here simple"
He stood up and came to where i was and Stood right in front of me that we were inches away from each other
"Tell me you don't want me in your life". ..he came closer "tell me to leave and I'll leave" he came even closer that i could smell the mint in his breath "look at me Nicole and say you don't want me"
Did i want to say it?? Of course not .
"K-kyle . . please leave. Forget about me . We are two different people in two different worlds that could never ever come together so yes. ..leave . I don't want you" i stepped away from him"Oh i see . .. prostitute life is treating you well" that hurt. Without even thinking i slapped him and walked to the door
"Get out now!"
"Nicole I'm sorry. ..that didn't come out right ." He walked towards me and took his face with both his hands
"Just get out and don't come back ever"

"Guess what bro?" Kate squealed as soon as she came through the door
"What?" I was chillin in the couch with a laptop
"So i got an internship at a company. Even though it's not that in line with my course of study. It's pretty exciting to think that I'll have a job!" She threw herself on top of me
"I'm happy for you . I truly am" i tried my best to smile
"You seem distracted though. What is it??
"I'm just tired"
"Is it about . .. the gentleman that was here yesterday?? I might have over heard the start of your conversation"
"Oh . ..well it has nothing to do with him and let's get get back to your job offer. .where is it? I diverted the conversation
"Oh that . ." She stood up and went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of water " it's some publishing house in town ."
"Didn't you say you studying business something??"
"Yeah but for now i need the job you know. ..so a P.A it is for now" why didn't i get that opportunity
"I am happy for you bro. ..we should celebrate sometime okay"
"Yeah sure . .. for now let me go shower and you can make a celebratory dinner right?
"Haha just go"
As soon as she left i started on dinner
.
.
.
.The past few days were really a blur. I was just going through the motions. I don't know why i felt like this. One person cannot have such an impact on another like this. .. I've been going through the motions. Kate started her new job and today she invited me to come to this event at her workplace and convinced me that it'll cheer me up. I doubt but then i agreed to get her to let go of the issue
"Nicky why are you still in your pyjamas? It's 4pm go shower" she was nervous
"Kate relax this thing of yours starts at six that two hours away" i wasn't really keen on going out really . Truthfully i never am
"No no get up" she took me by my hands and led me to the bathroom .
Didn't take me long to shower. .. got out and lotioned my body and took out a long black dress with a slit on the right leg going up to my uppet thigh, red carpet style. .. took out a matching shoe, left my weave lose and applied a bit of make up and took a red clutch bag and i was done with and hour to spare.
Kate was wearing a navy blue cocktail dress with a bow on the figure with black stilettos, make up well done. She looked very beautiful.
"Do i look okay?? Does this look fit an intern? Maybe i should change" she was so nervous
"You look just fine calm yourself okay. You not meeting the president you just meeting the guy who own the company chill .i mean your boss wouldn't have hired you if you werent good at what you do so relax." I tried assuring her
"Yeah . You right . It's just that I've heard so much about him that i can't wait to see him"
"Yeah relax . . I'm sure he'll love you. So lets go or else we'll be late
.
.
The House was beautiful. The decorations were all so elegant and the people. .. the people were high class. Even with the way I'm dressed i still felt out of place and you'd swear the people knew it too .I was bored but for kates sake i tried looking interested whenever she asked .she looked happy and in place. I sometimes envy her . . Not in a bad way though, in a good way i just wish i was her for just a day and see or experience how it feels to be truly happy, young , carefree, in love and all that but then again I'm me.
The evening was going slow i didn't know which was worse . .the horrible food that they were serving or the long list of speakers they had it felt like i was at a funeral. .these cooperate events are boring. And this big boss hasn't arrived yet.
I need to piss . .. i was pressed i tried navigating my way around the house with fail i gave up. ..
"Can i help you" a voice behind me called. I turned around to be met by this young and friendly face.
"Uhm . . Actually I've been looking for the bathroom I'm a bit pressed " i whined
"Oh follow me . .. I'll show you" he led me through the crowd. By the hand he took me upstairs to the door I've passed several times
"Oh of course the door i didn't open had to be the bathroom" i said sarcastically
" Haha . I'll wait out here . We wouldn't want you to get lost again" he chuckled. I did my business and likr he said he was waiting outside for me
"I didn't get your name??"
"Oh so rude of me . .. I'm tom"
"Thomas I'm guessing"
"Well yess but lets just stick to tom and yours?
"Oh nicky . .. nicole Robbins" he was nice
"Lovely name . .. so do you work for my brother?"
" Brother?"
"Oh my brother is the owner of the company. .. the big boss. This while shiz biz is for him"
"Oh i see . . Well no i don't work here. But a friend of mine does . ..im just a tag along" we both laugh "and speaking of friend she must be looking for me" we were still upstairs
We went back down and the vibe was still as it was
"Nicole I've been looking for you" Kate squealed as soon as she saw me
"Why ? You wanna leave?"
"No . You won't believe what i just saw!!" She was worrying me
"What?" I was getting anxious
"Its ..
"Excuse me . .." tom cut in
"Oh sorry . .kate this is tom and tom this is kate my friend" tom toom kates hand and kissed the back of it
"Lovely to meet you kate. What a beauty you are. " Was he flirting?
"Likewise tom . .. " i can't believe she was blushing
"I thought i was in heaven for a bit . You look like an angel" okay yes he was flirting
She let out a soft laughter "oh come on don't flatter me"
"I'm not you are just a work of art ." They forgot about me
"Uhm . Hello guys I'm still here!" I said rolling my eyes
"Sorry bro . .. "
"It's cool. So what did you want to tell me??"
"Would you ladies care for a drink??" Tom cut in
"Uh. ..well " kate looked at me for approval
"Uhm yeah sure" we followed tom to the drinks table
"Bro talk "
"I'll tell you later . .. don't worry it's exciting trust me but for now lets get wasted . ...
