5 Chapter 5

"When will you stop embarrassing me, Jade?" He growled as soon as we entered the house.

"Are you doing this to spite me?" He narrowed his eyes at me and I was too tempted to insult him, hit him, throw something! Anything just to show him that I could be angry too.

But I couldn't, I was only a spineless bride.

"Nothing ha-"

"What the hell do you fucking mean by nothing happened? Are you so dense?" His fists were clenched and I noticed he was moving closer.

I had never seen him this angry.

I didn't want to be the one he would pour his anger on.

"I swear...nothing happened, Michael"

"I saw you with my fucking two eyes, Jade!" He pointed at me before his eyebrows furrowed, he looked away in thought before looking at me again.

"Have you met him before now?"

"Its not your business" I muttered

"And you act like I'm the whore" he scoffed and walked up the stairs, hitting me with his shoulder as he walked past me.

He stopped in his tracks while I stood at the foot of the staies, hoping he would apologize.

"We're going to have dinner at mom's place tomorrow night. Bring your common sense along" he informed me and continued up the stairs.

"Fuck you!" I screamed throwing my bag to the floor in frustrating.

"Ohh God! I'm not going joor!" I ran after him, stomping my feet on the floor, purely frustrated

"Jadesola, you ask me why I don't treat you like your age, yes?"

"I don't wanna go, Micheal. Please!" I begged , lowering my pride.

"7pm tomorrow" he entered the room and I sighed.

I could feel myself nearing my limits. I was going to break soon and I couldn't do anything about it.

My phone vibrated on the glossed black tiled floor and I ripped my wig off, throwing it to the floor.

I blinked the tears away and coughed a little before picking the phone and sitting on the cold floor.

It was better comfort right now.

"Hello?" I answered and noticed my voice was hoarse.

I coughed and Jide's voice came on.

"Hey babe" his voice was so sweet and I found myself smiling.

It was nice to hear a voice that wasn't so hostile once in a while.

"Hey" I answered with a skipping smile that wouldn't turn around.

"So, Tonight? Your address? Party?"

"Oh, I'll send it to you on WhatsApp" I told him

"Awww, I was hoping to hear you sweet voice for a little longer" he chuckled and I shook my head.

"Well you're sadly out of luck because I'm really busy right now"

"I totally understand. So 7:40?"

"Definitely, I'll send you the address"

"Sure...and just so you know, I don't give up easily" I laughed at the sultry tone he had to his voice before shaking my head.

"Later, Jide"

"Bye, Jadesola" I hummed and hung up.

I had no motivation to stand up but I really wanted to go to the club. The last time I went to a club was the night before my convocation day and I was too wasted to even remember how it went down.

"Get up Jadesola!" I groaned and stood up, picking my bag and my wig before climbing up the stairs.

I took off my heels halfway up the stairs and I hated how pitiful I felt.

His door was slightly open and a few days ago, I would've opened that door and changed in the bathroom. I have my own room now, its a step forward. A few more steps and he'll be out of my hair.

I walked down the hallway, hissing loudly as I walked towards his room.

"Idiot" I whispered as I moved close to his door with the hopes that he would hear it before running off to my room.

I entered the large room and shut the door. I dropped my bag, shoes,wig and phone on the floor and jumped face first into my bed, moaning at the comforting feeling of the cotton sheets.

Five minutes later, I stood up and walked to the closet.

"What will I wear now?" I muttered, searching through the closet. I barely had clothes that weren't formal.

I opened a box full of clothes from university and sighed, remembering the kind of life I was used to.

"No" I threw a short black leather skirt behind me and searched through the folded clothes.

"Too bright" I muttered at the yellow short dress I picked, I buried my hand inside the box and pulled out a dress. It was a blue dress and I set it aside.

I pulled out a coffee sweater off shoulder dress and set it beside the blue dress.

I quickly grabbed my phone off the bed, sent Jide my address and walked towards the bathroom, placing my phone on the vanity table before stepping into the cold bathroom.

I stripped and took a quick shower, wrapping a towel around by body, I tiptoed into the room towards my closet.

"Underwear or no underwear?" I asked myself in total confusion and I didn't even know what I was going to wear.

"I should probably just wear panties" I muttered and pulled out a pair of black lace half panties. I decided on the blue midthigh dress that basically showed my whole back and the top of my ass. The back of the dress had silver chains on the back, forming a zig zag.

"Probably to hold the dress" I muttered as I put it on, surprisingly I wasn't as tight as I expected. I sat by the vanity table and pulled out my makeup box then applied my makeup for forty minutes, nothing too much. The bronzer was my major concern.

I smiled at myself in the mirror and took a few pictures before my phone started ringing.

"Hey" his sweet voice reached my ears as I answered and I smiled

"Hey"

"I'm outside your gate" my eyes and I jumped up, hitting my thighs against the vanity table.

"Fuck!" I groaned and hobbled to the closet, ripping a wig off the mannequin head and I picked out black suede gladiator heels that had laces up to my thigh.

I put the wig on and swiftly put on the heels, still rubbing my thigh as I walked towards the door.

"Money?" I wondered and groaned,walking back to the closet. I pulled out six five hundred naira notes and folded it so that it could fit into the back of my phone where I put it.

I exhaled and walked out of the room, hoping Michael didn't see me. I walked quietly as I passed his room.

"Please don't call my name! Don't call my name!" I whispered as I walked past his door.

I successfully reached the edge of the stairs and was about to step down when I heard Michael scream like a little bitch.

"Jade!" He called out and my eyes widened, I jogged down the stairs, my hands were tight on the railing of the stairs as I practically ran downstairs, I grinned when I got to the bottom of the stairs.

"Where are you going?" I spun around and almost got a whiplash.

"W-what?" I asked, looking up at him as he stood like he was my father.

"I said where are you going...its eight" he tilted his head and I shrugged.

"Somewhere"

"Go back to your room, Jade." He spun around probably thinking I'll follow behind him and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going out, good night" I huffed and spun around on my heels, walking towards the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Jade!" He yelled and I walked faster towards the gate and in this situation, I hated how far the gate was from the house.

"Stop calling me Jade, joor! Ahahn!" I stomped, my heels giving me some form of empowerment from the sounds they made.

"Its fucking late and you're dressed like an ashewo! Where the hell are you going?"

He growled and I turned to him when I got to the door then flipped him the bird. I quickly opened the gate and shut it.

Truly, Jide was standing my the gate and I smiled at him.

"Um...wow..you look really beautiful"

"Thank you" I sang, feeling a little badass.

'Your five seconds of fame, bitch' my subconscious reminded me and I exhaled.

"Cmon" he ushered me towards the passages seat of his red SUV and opened the door.

"Thank you" I told him and he chuckled.

"You have dimples?" I frowned, a little confused because the only dimples I had were on the two sides of my chin.

"Sorry?" I asked and he shook his head with a boyish grin.

"Don't mind me" he winked and shut the door. He climbed in from the other side and started the car with a revving sound.

"I can't believe this" he whispered and I laughed, my heart was still racing after the 'confrontation' with Michael.

"Can't believe what?" He just chuckled and shook his head.
