Chapter 29

and I can't cope with his nonsense attitude anymore. He is pained because he has already spent so much on the wedding plans. I guess he is also tired of me. The only thing paining him is the money he has spent which is none of my business. I'm confidence that Ohio will be a better man than Sugar. I desperately want Ohio now than ever. I guess he is not yet back but I will keep waiting until he returns. Ohio will make my life better than it was. I will declare my true love for him and make him know how much I love him. I will tell him that I ended my relationship because I wanted to be with him alone. Hello Becca, please hurry because I'm waiting for you. I won't be able to see you tomorrow because you will be at work, so I need to see you today. That Richie…I mean Sugar is a foolish guy. Ohio is now on board…. I quietly ended the call because I sincerely don't know what to say to Jojo. I looked over at Ohio, he was concentrating on his driving and had not said anything to me ever since we left the house. If Ohio takes me to the house, Jojo will see him. Maybe it will be better to drop me off somewhere. But it was late already, darkness everywhere except for the car and street lights on the road. When I told him to drop me on the road he said it was late, he can't drop me on the road, and he will take me home and make sure that I was safe before he leaves. 'Please just drop me here, I will find my way home from here. I said trying to sound calm enough and not disrespectful. 'Why…why do you want to drop here by this time Becca? Is already late and I can't drop you on this lonely road. What if something happens to you? I won't be able to live with myself. Please let me take you home or you come to my place? All I want is for you to be safe. I can't figure out what is wrong with you all through today but leaving you here maybe dangerous and can't take such risk. Why is he acting as if he owns me already? I'm an adult and I should have a say over what I want. Maybe if we get closer to my side, I will tell him to drop me and give him the reason that will get him running off my back. I allowed him to keep driving. He turned over and looked at me and asked if I was alright. I assured him that I was alright. I later asked him to drop me again. 'I can't Becca. I'm sorry…but I will have to disobey you this time. Please allow me to drive you safely home. Is dark and dangerous out here. 'Stop worrying about me. My boyfriend will come and get me. I have already text him where he should pick me up. My man is coming, he was not in town that was why I couldn't go with him to show my parents. The truth is he was the one that engaged me and now he is back. So drop me here please. He suddenly stopped the car. Relaxed his head back on his chair. He breathed deeply and said without looking at me. 'Becca, you never told me you had a man, you clearly told me you broke up with your last man and your family confirmed it. I feel so…hmmm! Is fine. If this is what you want then is fine by me… Ohio looks so broken, he couldn't even look at me as he speaks. He got down from the car and came around to open the door for me. i stepped down with my bags. Ohio went back to his car and remain seated. Why is he not driving away? I tapped on the car, thanked him again before asking him to go. 'I'm not leaving until your man comes to get you Becca. I will just sit here and wait. I want to make sure you are safe. Leaving you here alone won't be fair. 'I told you not to worry about me, you have done so much for me already. Don't baby sit me because I'm not a child? If my man comes and see you here he will be angry, he may even accused me of cheating. I know you don't like drama so is better for you to go now. Ohio held his head in his hand, he looked over at me and nodded silently. With the help of the car light, the disappointment in his eyes were obvious. He was behaving strange, he turned on the ignition and zoomed off. I felt like I hurt him or did i? He was also in a relationship and never really liked me so why is he acting like he cared so much and making feel like I hurt his feeling when he was the one that bruised mine last night. I later got a cab that took me home. Jojo was really waiting outside the gate in her car and immediately the taxi dropped me, she came to meet me. Why did I even allow Ohio to go, maybe he would have come to drop me and I will use that opportunity to strike back at Jojo. But I just don't want Jojo to set her eyes on him at all. After we got inside, Jojo went on and on talking about her broken relationship with her sugar. She suddenly picked up something from my dressing table and turned to me. 'Ohio Jacobs…is this his complimentary card?? Becca…I just saw the card on your table! Oh my God. You got his contact? God has buttered my bread…this is going to be great. I'm going to call him tonight. Why didn't you tell me you have his card all this while? Wow…I'm so happy. From Ri…Sugar to my lovely Ohio. His two numbers are all here and I guess his main office address is here too. Becca I'm so happy. You got me what I have always wanted. Leave the rest to me I will bring back news to you. I'm leaving, I want to go and rehearse my speech when we finally meet. Hahahahaha! I was shock, everything happened so fast. I have forgotten that I dropped Ohio's card on my table when I was packing my things on Friday before leaving for my parent's house with him. I did not even thought of it as Jojo came in with me. I wanted to run after her and collect the card but Jojo was gone. What am I supposed to do now?
