73: KING AND QUEEN.

I watched as he caressed my hands gently and brought them closer to his mouth and placed a gentle kiss on them. "I love you, Dee," he said then caressed my cheeks before dropping his hands on my shoulder.

"You don't have to fear that after this I will be hard on you," he said. I was not even thinking about what is going to happen after this ceremony. 

All I wanted was to live in peace and watch as my mother run the family business. I know she is also happy and her heart is at peace. Sh doesn't need to fight anymore, she doesn't have to look behind if something is targeting her.

My relationship with Vin, that side I wasn't giving it much thought. He behaves funny most of the time. Sometimes he is angry and shouts at the little mistakes that I do and other times he is gentle and doesn't want to fight.

But today, this is the side of him, I have never seen. Him using this voice. I think I love this side.

"Vin, I love you and I know you love me too, am just happy that you are here and want to be here with me," I told him.

"Are you sure you love him, or it is just your mouth talking?" My girl asked.

I hate her sometimes. I don't even know what she is doing at this time.

"This is private, don't you think?" I whispered angrily to her.

"Fine! Just don't come crying for help and fucking him when I don't want," she replied with anger and left me alone.

"Is everything okay?" Asked Vin while holding my cheeks in his hands.

"Yeah," I smiled.

Don't tell me I shouted while talking to my girl. Unless I gave the expression of being displeased with my girl's intrusion.

"Are you excited about the fashion show?" He asked.

"Yeah," I excitedly told him.

He'll yeah I was excited. I saw this as an opportunity to start over and at least have a title to my name.

"Am happy for you," he said and kissed me on the forehead.

Wow, he is?

I thought he was going to talk me against it. 

"I hope to start afresh you know," I told him while placing my head. His chest.

"That's good Dee, and am here, e can let the past slip away and start over again, I mean it this time," he replied seriously.

I didn't know whether to trust what Vin was saying or to trust my girl who thinks he doesn't have good intentions for me.

We have been with Vin ever since I started high school, he had been a friend, witnessed my sickness and my failure and right now even after my dad's death, he wants to be with me.

What about a second chance for him to start over?

Not everyone is perfect and as a man, he has decided to come clean and re-write his wrong and wants to start afresh. 

I don't want I lose him, I can see there is a future in this and I want that future with him.

Am I dreaming or it's just a joke am thinking of?

Look at Vin, he is a man, I know he makes mistakes, but here he is apologizing to me and wanting to start all over again. 

I know he wants good from me, he wants me to be in a good place and succeed in life. 

I can't disagree that sometimes he oversteps and wrongfully treats me, but I know if I nature him then he will be the way I want him to be.

Sorry that I have to compare him with Davids.

Davids has been in this town for how many months?

They came at the start of summer, you ed our school and all of a sudden she loves me and wants me!

Don't you think that is ridiculous?

Someone falling for you out of the blue?

I think my mother was right, I was blinded by her, I was obsessed with Davids that I didn't think that she was just using me for her good!

How can he be there every time I needed her? That only means someone who is stalking you and wants to get something from you. 

"Are you following me?" 

Davids is just an illusion of what I wanted but I will never get. What I want is right here with me my job is to build him and help him become the king I want him to be.

I don't want to disappoint my family, and if The Blacks think that am their puppet and want to use me to get to their family, then they better wake up from that dream because just like my man here am a changed girl.

I want to build an empire with him and nothing will change my mind!

"What are you clapping for?" I asked my girl who crept out of her hiding while giving me a sarcastic laugh.

"The way to are making decisions, did you include me in your decisions? Or you forgot I even exist." She started plainly while giving me an unpleasant look.

"Why should I consider you? You are nobody here girl, so just go back to your hiding and coil that tail of yours back!" I shouted at her and focused on my man.

"Do you need a massage?" I asked him while I moved deep in bad.

"I won't mind, am really tired baby,", he said while giving me the tired look.

I removed his shirt and tossed it aside before removing the vest. It was not a spa massage, I just gently placed my hands on his shoulder and massaged them gently.

He has a firm back. I love it.

A moan escaped his mouth and I stopped.

"Is it painful?" I asked concerned that maybe I was doing it all wrong. He raised his head from his sitting position and looked at me, "it fine, I love it," he smiled and went back to the lying position while I gently massage him.

"Will you be okay if Davids will be around tomorrow?" He asked I accidentally pinched his back when he dripped the question.

Bhad forgot about that.

"It's a rehearsal she won't be around baby," I said while going on with my massage.

He stiffened a bit and raised his head, No! The old Vin is up! He wants to unleash his anger at me!

My heart missed a skip, I didn't know what he will say to me. 

"What if he comes baby?" He asked gently.

"Thank God he didn't shout," I thought. This could have turned to ugly-nessy within seconds.

"I won't mind him, babes, I want you and you will see that when she is around tomorrow," I assured him before going on with my massaging.

The truth is, I still don't know if I will face her bravely or I will chicken out and text her the way I did in the morning.

"See yourself now, you are still not sure of what you want," shouted my girl.

"Jeeez! Am due girl, it's only that I need to face Davids for her to know that I don't fear her and I am not interested in what she is offering," I said back to her but I couldn't face her.

Maybe my girl is telling the truth, I don't know if am ready or not.

But what do they say, you have to try it and see? Exactly what am going to do? Am going there and am going to present me with high dignity ever. After that, she will never try to use me or any other girl for her benefit.

I pushed my girl back and went on with my spa session.

"Just be yourself, baby, tell the world that you can still stand strong even after your father's death," he said and woke up from his lying position.

We locked our eyes and he pushed his face closer to mine. I in turn pushed myself closer to him. I know I said I didn't want to do this today but it looks like am going to do it anyway.

"Am not even comfortable," said my girl with a frown standing on the exit of her cave.

"I don't care whether you are comfortable or uncomfortable, I need to feel good," I growled back at her.

She always wants to destroy the good things that people have. the little moments that I wanted so much are the ones that she interrupts.

"Baby, I don't want to disturb you today, lie down and I will come back to you after I bid my parents goodbye," he said waking up from his position and headed for the door. 

"Why is he behaving this way?" I asked myself.

I suddenly felt cold yet all the windows were closed. He has never declined a chance when offered but today he decided to go out without touching me!

He truly has changed!
