CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
A Winner
I stared long and hard at myself in a lovely light blue Dior jumpsuit in a standing mirror. I looked at the price tag and saw 5000 euros. I let out a loud sigh
Where am I going with Kylian that warrants shopping for expensive designer clothes
You will get to find out
But he looks troubled, where are we going out?
For the millionth time today, beautiful Bewa, you will find out. Why don’t you just take joy in the fact that he is taking you shopping, this was all you ever wanted. For you and Kylian to do stuff together, now, don't go ruining it with your foul mood
But not under this circumstance, I am worried
Oh God! I must say you are one ungrateful bitch
“Does it not fit” asked the sales attendant who I had forgotten was standing behind me
“What?” I muttered in confusion
“The cloth, does it not fit because we have several sizes?”
“Of course, it does” I clarified
“Then, you don’t like it” The sales attendant looked concerned
“It is perfect”
“Then what seems the problem, you don’t look happy” she rambled on
You have got to stop wearing your feelings on your face
“I just have a lot of things on my mind, I am sorry” I apologised “I should go show myself to him” I said as I walked out of the changing room into the private room of the boutique. Kylian sat on the couch with a farrowed expression pressing his phone vigorously
“Is everything okay?” I asked. He looked up at me and smiled brightly at me
“You look so beautiful” He complimented me and a heavy sigh came out of my mouth unconsciously. That was the same thing he said about the last 12 dresses I have tried. Then he stood up and walked over to the clothes rack and picked up a pink dress this time.
“Try this” he stretched the dress to me and I didn’t move to collect it but the sales attendent collected it from him
“Ma’am” The young lady called me
“What is this, Kylian” I questioned me upset
“I am sorry but I have always wanted to do this” he let out in a low voice
“Stress me?”
“No, of course not” he laughed “Go shopping, I have always wanted to go shopping with my girl friend but fame took that from me”
The anger that was brewing in me started to melt away
“Well, I am not your girl friend” I glared at him even though, there is a wide smile at the edge of my lips threatening to show itself. I collected the dress from the sales attendant and went into the changing room
What are we any way? Am I even still his wife?
There we go again
Seriously, he hasn’t said anything about the divorce. Are we still going through with that? We are going back but to what exactly? Are we going back to living apart like we used to? He in Paris while I stay in Eureka, fucking once a month. How do I go back to that? Am I just supposed to let everything that has happened between us this last few days end here? What should I do?
I got nothing from my inner self
Seriously, you are going to be silent now
I have decided to shut the fuck up like you always tell me to do while I let you rant
Idiot!
And you too
I walked out of the changing room after changing into the new dress
“i don’t understand” Kylian exclaimed the moment he saw me walk out of the changing room “It is like all of these dresses were made just for you”
“So, I guess we have a winner” I said with relief while slipped away with Kylian’s next command
“Change it”
“Kylian, come on please, i can’t just be wearing and changing clothes all day” I lamented. Kylian looked at me with a playful grin and shook his head
“You are not a patient woman” he stated
“Excuse me” I groaned with annoyance
Well, he is right
Oh, so you are deciding to talk now, how about you shut the fuck up
“The first dress she wore, the cream one, do you remember it?” Kylian ignored me and turned his attention to the sale attendant
“Yes sir” The young lady replied
“Let her change into it” he instructed
“What?” I said in confusion as the sale attendant fished out the dress he was referring to from the heap of dresses I already tried today and brought it to me. My annoyance slowly turned into anger
“If you were going to have me wear the first dress why let me go through the torture of trying all these dresses” I howled pointing to the clothes on the couch
The smirk on Kylian’s face faded away as he scowled at me
“First of all, let this be the last time you raise your voice at me and secondly, do you have anothet appointment that I am not aware of” he bellowed at me
Don’t you dare say it
“That does not mean I should waste my time like this” I yapped back
So, you think you are wasting time with him
“So, you are wasting your time with me?” he muttered
What is wrong with you? Why are you trying to pick a fight with him? if you are this worried about the dynamics of your relationship, just ask him. Don’t destroy what you have built with him just because you are not bold enough to talk to him. You can’t go shouting at your husband in the front of a sales girl
I looked at the sales attendant who looked like she does not know if she should stay or leave us. Not knowing the status of my marriage to Kylian is screwing with my head
Damn it!
Yes, Damn it, you are wrong, apologize
“Of course not, I am sorry” I let out in a low apologetic voice and Kylian ’s hard look soften. He collected the dress from the sales attendant and handed it to me which I collected this time. Kylian brought out a black card from his pocket and stretched it to the sale attendant
“Bag the rest of the dresses, that is my card. A woman called Alice will come for it”
“Alright sir” she moved to leave but stopped when Kylian continued to give her instructions
"Tell the make up artist and hair stylist to come in. Also, someone will be here with some shoes, have her come in the moment she arrives”
“Alright sir” She leaves to carry out her task
See, he was shopping for you
“I am really sorry, Kylian”
“It is fine, we are getting to know each other better but I am going to need you to learn to be patient. Now, go and change” he placed his two hands on my shoulder and ushered me into the changing room
By the time, I emerged from the changing room, the hair stylist and make up artist were waiting for me. While I was having my hair done, Kylian was looking over some shoes with a middle aged woman. One of Kylian’s security guys who helped detained the french man that was harrassing me at the mini-mart came in with a box and placed it next to Kylian.
In about two hours time, Kylian was looking down at me with adoration after everyone was done with their task and left us two alone
“So beautiful” He commented with a lovely smile
I felt giddy, I felt like I was heaven. I felt...
I think the word you are looking for is special
Yes, I felt special
Was this really happening to me? Did I finally find love with the man I have loved since I knew what love was. Is this me?
He walked back to the couch and picked up the box his security escort brought
“This is for you” He said
“What is in it?”
“You have to open it to find out”
I placed the box on the couch and sat down to open it. As I opened it, a beam of light entered my eyes and I was forced to look away. Looking back at the opened box, different types of jewelries sat in it. From earrings, to rings, to necklaces, to leg chains, bracelets, some golden, while diamond.
He got us a jewellery box
“What is this?” I asked him
“Since my first night at your place, I have been collecting them. Each time, I see a piece of jewellery or visited a jeweller, I think of you. So, I buy them”
“What part of me made you think I love jeweleries?”
“You don’t” He panicked
“Of course, I do but how did you know?”
“I don’t but I know every woman do. When I see a jewellery, I just imagine how good you will look in it” he clarified
Seriously, we made the best decision, Bewaji
Because of some jewellery, I didn't know you were so cheap
Seriously, don't you appreciate what he is doing, has anyone ever done this for you before. It is not about the jewellery, it is about the fact that he made you feel special. No one and I repeat, no one has ever made you feel special until today
She is right, I do feel special
“Thank you” I said “Thank you for everything”
“Trust me, I didn’t intend on getting you a box but each time, I buy I never get around to giving you. So, it just kept piling up but seeing the look on your face, I guess now is also a good time. So pick one for the occasion”
See, he is the only man for us
No, he is not.... there is Marcus and thinking about it again, I felt special with him too
Marcus? Why the fuck is that nigga's name popping up?
I am just letting you know that Kylian is not the only one who can make me feel special, Marcus made me feel special too and he did that without buying me anything or have sex with me. As far as I am concerned, he is an option
Girl, Marcus does not even like you, he rejected you, remember
Oh! Shut the fuck up
“Are we going for an event?”I asked Kylian as I blocked out my inner self
“No, we are going to see someone I have the upmost respect for, someone I can’t say no to even if I want to. So pick one”
I wonder who that is
“You have been doing a good job dressing me today” I said to him “I will let you continue your job”
He smiled graciously and picked me a matching earring, necklace and bracelet. After helping me, put them on, he helped me to my feet
“Something is missing” My husband stated the obvious
“Yes, shoes” I chuckled
“Oh!” he looked down at my feet in surprise “Oh! Damn, I didn’t see that” he opened the shoe parcel next to him and placed a black loubriton at my feet. I slided my feet into them and they just fit. I was concerned the shoes won’t fit when he didn’t ask for my size when he was selecting the shoe
“So, if you weren’t referring to the shoes, what did you think was missing” I asked with a bright smile on my face, wondering what magic this beautiful man in front of me was going to perform again
“This…” he placed his hand into his pocket and brought something out. He picked up my left hand and placed a ring on my fourth finger. Looking closely at it and I saw my wedding ring, the one I gave to Fazya before I declared that I wanted a divorce
I looked Kylian in surprise
“What is this?” I asked in a solemn voice
“Giving your property back to you” he mumbled “I am sorry about Melissa hitting you, she had no business doing that, I am sorry, it took me this long to apologize to you”
“Melissa slapped me not you”
“It is my fault, I gave her the impression that you don’t matter to me but you do, ever since the first time we spent together, one way or the other, you have walked your way into my heart”
“So why, why didn’t you show me that I matter, I almost went crazy thinking you didn’t love me” tears streamed down my face which he cleaned immediately
“Honestly, I thought you would always be around. It took you going to Bali with Marcus for me to know I could actually lose you. These last few days was about finally peace but also about showing you the kind of man I can be if you decide to stay with me”
OMG! He is asking you to take him back
“Are we going to be living separately”
“For a while” he said
“How long is a while?”
“Till the end of the season”
“That is oddly specific”
“Yes, because I am moving to Madrid next season”
OMG!, The famous move is finally happening
“Real Madrid?”
“Yes and when I do move, I will like you to move with me”
“Okay but till then, are we still going to be having sex once a month”
“What? No! No more timing of sex. Infact all the conditions surrounding our marriage is void because I don’t think I can go a week withing having sex with you”
“Then, I will take you back” so, I kissed him full on the lips but yanked myself off his lips a second later
“Are all the conditions void because I happen to love some conditions”
Kylian smirked
“Don’t worry, you still get to keep your assets and receive your monthly allowance”
“Good” I retorted
I pulled him closer and resumed kissing him
TO BE CONTINUED NEXT SATURDAY 9.00 PM WAT
