*_Chapter 2_*
*Oscar’s POV👱🏼*
“No Oscar, I can’t”, she said to me.
I wasn’t sure if I heard her correctly.
“No to what? I’ve not even asked anything yet”, I said, hoping that it wasn’t the proposal that she said the no to.
“Oscar, I know you are going to ask me to marry you and I’m not yet ready. Marriage freaks me out”😰😰, she said, freaking out.
“Really? But you’re always excited and happy when there’s a sermon on marriage and even when we attend a friend’s wedding🤔”.
“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that I’m ready. I don’t want to rush into anything, let’s take it slowly, okay?” she said reaching out for my hand, but I pulled away.
“I hear you”, I said and I took the ring from her hands.
I really didn’t know how to feel or what to do. I can’t believe that she actually turned down my proposal😑.
“Oscar, you understand me right?” she asked.
“Yeah, I do🙂”, I said. I poured out a glass of wine for myself and I drank it within few seconds.
I’ve never been hurt like this before. I can’t believe that Mabel actually said no. if anyone had told me that she was going to turn me down, I would have laughed in their face. But here I am.
She’s not ready? What the heck? We’ve been dating for 3 years now and she’s still not ready? Taking things slowly? What else does she want?
“Oscar are you okay?” you’ve spaced out for quite some time”, she asked, worried.
“I’m fine”, I said, getting up.
“I’m actually tired and I have to get up really early tomorrow morning for work, you know how it is with your dad. Let me drop you off”, I said to her, and I took the dishes to the kitchen.
I went back to the dining room and then we left.
The whole ride to her house was silent. When I finally pulled over in front of her house, she spoke up.
“I know you feel rejected, but you know that I’ll never reject you. I love you Oscar; I just need sometime before I can get married. I’m just not ready and I don’t want to hurt you”.
“It’s fine Mabel, take all the time you need”, I said, forcing a smile.
“Mmmm, okay”, she said and she pecked me on the cheek 😚and got out of the car.
“Goodnight Oscar”, she said, waving at me👋🏽.
I waved back and waited for her to get into her house and then I drove off.
On a regular, I would have walked her to her doorstep or even walk her in, but this time, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was really hurt.
I drove back home and I decided to finish up my wine and let sleep take over.
*Natasha’s POV👩🏽*
I was really busy at my work place, trying to finish up with what I had to type before another patient would walk in. I was a psychologist and I worked at the hospital.
My phone vibrated once more and when I looked at it, it was another call from June. I didn’t pick up and he sent a voice mail asking me to pick up.
I was angry and hurt. I woke up this morning hoping to see a missed call or text message from him, but there was nothing like that. Meaning he didn’t show up at the place and he didn’t even bother to let me know what happened and now, ever since I got to work, he’s been flooding my phone with calls and messages.
I ignored his call once more and continued with what I was doing. As I was typing, my door opened and he walked in.
I looked at him and looked away. I wasn’t going to say anything to him.
“Tasha, I know you’re upset, but please hear me out”, he said, placing his hands on my table.
I completely ignored him.
“Tasha, I was counselling some people at church and others came with a bigger problem, so I had to conduct a deliverance session and I lost track of time. When I was done, I was really exhausted and it was already late for me to show up. I even slept in the church premises. I’m really sorry for not showing up or calling to let you know what was going on. I really am and I promise to make it up to you”, he said.
I looked at his face and looked away.
“Natasha please talk to me”, he said, taking his hands off my laptop and I glanced at him.
“June please leave me alone, as you can see, I’m busy and my next patient might just walk in any moment from now”, Immediately I said, that, we heard a knock on the door and my patient walked in. I used my eyes to show him the door.
“I’ll be back Tasha”, he said and he left.
*Oscar’s POV*
I was asleep when I heard the doorbell ring. I really struggled before I could get myself to sit up. When I saw how bright it was, I jumped off my bed.
“Oh my God, what’s the time”, I said to myself and checked my phone. It’s 10 already!!! Oh God, I’m toast. I was about to rush into he bathroom and then I remembered that someone was at the door.
I quickly rushed to the door and when I opened it, I wish I didn’t because the queen of obsession and lust was at the door.
It was no one but Monica, Mabel’s twin sister.
😑😑😑😑😑
