Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Ciara's POV.

“what do you mean evans, now don't let this joke escalate more than it already has, I don't like it you know.” I complained into his face, he sighed and drew in another puff of breath.

“it isn't a joke ciara, my mama mia, it isn't a joke, just like you meant it with my mother, I'm saying the same now.” he blurted, yet again those were not the words I wanted to hearMy lips, throat ran dry, my heart thudded against my chest, I felt weak, tired and totally broken. I could not help it, it was driving me insane, was it a joke, from his end or mine.

“You said you wanted the wedding, you explained it to me, pleaded this morning, so what's wrong, why bother changing your mind?.” I asked, pouring out my heart's content, trouble and question all to him once and all.

“my love, this isn't any big deal, it just you and I taking some  time off, just as you wanted, besides you had said it earlier, i had begged you to out up with a party but it was obvious you didn't want it anymore, should I keep clear off you?.” he asked and as for his words, they sounded off to him and even to myself

“I didn't want the wedding, not you, so what's up with this joke?, “ I asked and he said nothing.

“It is my wedding, I am the bride, I would make the choices I want, how I want it and when I want it, you do not get to boss me all round okay?.” I asked, keeping my speech stealth.

“Maybe not anymore, I don't know what I had done wrong but now I see it, you just don't want to admit it do you?. '' he asked and my heart froze from panic, my throat was hurting as I  heard and sucked in air hungrily.

I turned around, walked  out back steadily, then did the same thing with the front, back to the entrance where we walked in from.

“ciara… what are you doing?. '' he asked but I raised my palm to his face.

“One minute please… just one.” I pleaded, still holding my palms up against his face.

“ciara what is it… there's no one there.” he called out to be and I froze yet again, slowly I pushed myself back to the shoot went ei ha deviously say.

“I had thought that it was a prank, some joke of sorts, I

Really believe something was up…” I answered tailing off at the end of my words, but he didn't like it either, it had not seemed like he was pleased with it choice of words.

“please tell me… talk to me, what is wrong?.” he asked again, I didn't know what my response was expected to be.

“Are you calling off the wedding?.” I asked and my voice broke as I spoke, while I ended up sounding more like a frog as I croaked at the ends of my words.

“you already called it off ciara and I'm doing That end for you!.”

“How is this for me!.” I yelled into thin air and banged my fists against the table.

“ciara!.” he yelled as he pulled at my arm across the table, rubbed on it a lot, but I jerked my hands away from his grip.

“what! Don't you call my name, I called off the wedding and that was my choice not yours to make.” I complained bitterly while he tried holding my arms again..

“What do you want me to do today?What do you expect from me?.” he asked. My judgments seemed clouded,  my doubts getting shredded bit by bit.

“Take back your words, I would not be agreeing to calling off any things and I swear if it's a whole damned trick you are pulling up with me, I would not forgive it”

.”ciara! I am not man enough okay?.” he yelled,

Only after he spoke had he realized the words he had said, worry  written all over his face, he was not expecting such a silent response from me to be honest and I knew it had something to do with how I had reacted earlier.

“what.. Talk to me, what makes you say so.. Oh you poor thing,. ''. I spoke and rose to my feet as I pulled him closer, my arms remained wrapped beneath his waist while he stared at me totally lost at words.

“no… you talk to me, what is it that had happened, why would you get so worked up on me getting you gifts, these are the things men does, to show how much they care for their woman, I knew it was natural for you to be surprised but you complaining about my business and the likes , really?. Do you think I'm failing as a man.” he asked by then while he had his eyes boring into mine., i was not so sure what he expected that I said in return,

“I had tried all along, maybe I had been busy these past few days, you mean everything to me ciara, I love you, and I love our son, I want to give you the best things in the world, I want to bring the worlds down to your feet, I want the world to see you high up, but my woman is more worried about my business, my profit, my shares and my returns than her very own  herself… it doesn't say anything right to me as a man.”

I adored his mentality, I adored the manner in which he spoke, he was just so surprised,  I merely said a few words as they settled into my mind and he had already gotten himself all worked up on it.

“evans, that was not what I meant,  maybe yes i am worried about your business but just like you when spoke about talking about the characteristics of a man, it's the same as that of a woman, it's only right if I can also get things done for you, I should watch out for you and yes I like getting gifts as with all course, but first I need to know if my man is fairing well” I explained to him,.

I realized his gaze on me  had softened up by a bit, he was no longer worked up that much. He seemed relaxed, gave meaning to his words and self.

“its okay, I'm not materialistic, I like gifts though, but you could buy me a sine rose petal and I would still appreciate it evans, it's not the price of the gifts that matters most times, it's the sincerity, the honesty  and the moments we share with the one who had passed out the gift.” I explained to him.

A smile formed on his face and his countenance brightened up immediately as he placed his lips above mine slowly.

“I love you… I will always do, my woman is a genius, she has a sharp mind and a contented mind.” he called out, pulled me closer to his grip and we remained in the loving position for a few minutes.

“So the wedding?.” he asked as he pulled away from me while his eyes bore into mine.

“it's on.” I responded with a smile that only caused his own to get deeper.

“Either way, let's grab eat our meal, we still have lots of gifts to unravel, like I said, today was meant for you… we still have a busy time ahead.”
