Chapter 52: Chapter 52

“Why are you packing out?” I ask. I walk home late and I see Freddy packing his stuff in a hurry. What the hell is wrong with this dude?

“I can't believe you are running away just because of that little fight. Can't you apologise and put an end to this? Deep within, you know I did nothing wrong. I didn't even hug him, he did and as a good friend, I couldn't reject him… Still, it was just a hug, a fucken common hug…” I start speaking none stop like a parrot.

“Freddy, I'm so disappointed in you” I utter yet he says nothing. He's packing his stuff like no one is talking. What an insult, I frown “You can leave for all I care” I fling his dress out of the box “Leave!” I scream while spreading his clothes all over the room.

I can't believe she's scattering all the things I'm filling up and asking to leave at the same time. Damn! She sucks and She is crazy at the same time. She’s asking me to leave but she isn't helping at all.

“How do you expect me to finish packaging if you keep throwing my stuff out of the box?” I scowl so loud that she slightly quivers with her shoulders slumping helplessly. She falls to the ground and sits. “Can't you see that I don't want you to leave?” she lowered her head to the floor.

His voice, the tone in which he yells at me was severe. I don't even know why I had to tell him that I didn't want him to leave, he doesn't deserve to know that. He has been so mean, to me since yesterday. I guess he's getting bored of me, I tell myself deep down. “It's fine you can leave” I grumble.

“I wasn't asking for your permission, Sheila,” he says then sits next to me “I'm not leaving because of you, nor am I leaving you. Yes, I was upset seeing them hugging that dude and it hurts me to admit that but that's not why I'm parking. Something came up and I have to return to my town, Boston” I say.

“Whatever, I caught you. You never planned to inform me, right?” I pout. I asked and he says nothing but to me he’s silence means every. “This is clear evidence that I don't matter to you. It's fine you can go in peace, I won't hold you back. After all, the contract clearly stipulates, no emotional attachment” I enunciated with pain.

“Hey, don't blame yourself, you got it all wrong. I want to be here with you as much as you do” words honestly escape my mind and I instantly regret saying that. She looks up at me with her alluring eyes filled with hope and this demoralises me.

“Whatever! All this it's not about you” I get up and I continue packing. I didn't want to make her any silly promises. “I'm taking these things back to the hotel because I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning,” he says. “What?” I scowl but he continues talking. “I will come back once I settle everything in Boston,” he says ruthlessly.

“How long will it take because I can't wait forever?” I ask. “If so then you are free to do whatever you want. The contract states that; the contract gets automatically annulated if one party ghosts for a month. So fear not, you won't have to wait for me forever” he says recklessly like the only thing that mattered was the contract and not all that we shared. “Omg, I was a fool!” I cry deep down.

“Humm… you had everything prepared already, hum? So don't you dare tell me that you will come back soon when you know that you want. After all, you didn't plan to inform me about your departure so that says a lot” I yell at his lying ass.

“You know what Freddy, —” I say thoughtfully then continue “You can go to hell! I regret ever indulging in all this with you. You are the meanest, most selfish and heartless person, I have ever met. You play with people’s bodies and feelings perfectly and I hate you for that. I hate you for allowing you to use I like this. I was a good girl before I met you… But now, I'm just a whore… I hate you!”

With that said, I turn to leave but he clenches my wrist and pulls me closer to him and says “Look at me straight into my eyes and repeat those things you said” he glares at me strange into my eyes and this renders me weak. “Repeat those lame words, those lies” he frowns. I swallow my spit in a gulp.

“I'm leaving not because of you and I will come back for you. Hey you don't have to wait for me but I will still come back for you” he seriously says. So seriously that I'm tempted to believe. “Why?” I ask as the question escapes my quivering lips. “Because I want to, and when I want something, I have it,” he says.

“Damn, as if what you want matters to me, Freddy. So your selfishness has no limits? This is my time to be selfish for once so, Fred, baby, if you leave this town, tomorrow morning, — or even leave this house now, then just forget about me, — forget about us. I don't think I will be able to take that on me” I warn him.

“Don't you dare do that to us!” he scolds. “I won't be mad at you thought. Natasha told me already and deep within me I knew all this was going to have an end, — it was too good to be real. Hmmm, the rich and most wanted bachelor in down and his maid, hahaha” laughter of frustration escaped my mouth and I laughed Keith's tears rushing down but I was sad.

“I guess it's time to say ‘game over for Sheila’. You have to move to the next girl, right ” I pull my hand off his grip. He glares at me but says nothing. “I can't even stand you or even this house. I won't spend the night here so you don't need to run away” I drag my handbag and move.

I watch her run away. I wish to stop her and tell her how much I feel attached to her and that what she feels is mutua, -- but what if I'm wrong and it's just a feeling of infatuation that might end soon? What if I speak too quickly and end up promising her thing that I might not keep? That will cause her more pain so the earlier the better. How I wish I could reduce her pains and add them to mine.

Yes, I'm in pain as much as she is but the only problem is that I'm confused and I don't know what exactly I'm feeling for her. But one thing I know is that this feeling is a first. I had never felt like this for any lady before.

After packing, I carry my stuff to the hotel and I spend the night there packing, drinking whiskey and thinking about Sheila. There is no way I can take her away from my mind. I even looked at a few pictures we took together. She isn't a fan of pictures and social media making her the best silence partner that I needed. Everything with her has always been so easy.

“I'm such a dumb ass why didn't I tell her what she wanted to hear?” I curse myself. Now, everything sounds easier than I thought. I could just say “My baby, I want to stay with you now and forever but I have to leave and go see my father for my money. Oh, you can come along with me. I love you and I will always love” I guess this is what she wanted to hear.

Say all of that then break her heart later? No! “I took the best decision. She doesn't deserve that” I console myself.
