Chapter 139 Sub 25

More to learn i guess!

  "Holy shit. Dad, you don't have to be so creepy this early!" I blurted out sinking into the couch where father was sitting. I was shocked to see him in my office, sitting elegantly. He had a tight smile on his face focusing on his phone's screen. I kept my bag on the table then sat next to him comfortably.

  "Morning, Dada!" I greeted politely

  "Now, that's the damn son i raised!" He said calmly "Do you wanna talk the mess you made yesterday?"

  "What mess? I don't wanna talk about!" I snapped, I knew what he wanted to talk about.

  "Well, start talking!" He yelled. I scoffed

  "What exactly..."

  "Son, don't forget that i rule over all that shit you took out...the headlines says better." Father said "Who's he? He's Garry and a business man that you're intertwined with but what's so personal behind the money making!" Father explained. I couldn't forget that he knows everything, at the snap of his fingers; he finds everything out, no mistakes.

  "I saw him with Gia at a cafeteria some time ago..." I began calmly it he didn't let me finish

  "This is no same sex planet, we've got genders, so?!" He added sarcastically then i scoffed again

  "Dad, don't be ridiculous right now. You'd never want to see Mom with another man, be it any man. Friend or not, colleague or not, family or not...just any man!" I stated. He turned away in guilt then i proceeded "They were hanging out...they almost kissed and i couldn't bare that shit!" I explained 

  "I get it!" He snapped "Gia could never love a man like him...you're obviously the best pick for her, my son. Kareem." He patted me on the shoulder lightly 

  "Yeah! I couldn't bare it, can't share my wife with someone else..."

  "Y'all were separated..." Father reminded

  "But not divorced. She could at least wait until its totally over...i was overly jealous. I just can't stand another man touch her or even come close!"i stopped. I was panting almost breathlessly trying to explode to my father how bad i felt.

  "I'm excited to see that you are now a responsible champ, she changed you. I'm surprised that you hadn't invited a slut over for the night or dinner or something...you've been nothing but a faithful husband. I'm really proud of you!" Father said heartily "Not like old times when you'd commit 30 crimes within a span of a month!" He teased as we smiled. The Secretary came in after a soft knock.

  "Sorry to interrupt, meetimg starts in 10 minutes, Sir!" 

  "I'll be there!"

  "Mr Garry's not coming through, he says its..." 

  "How pathetic but i don't care! Good for him!" I snapped with a smirk.

  "Alright!" She smiled faintly walking out instantly, my response was indeed bizarre and unarticulated. I turned to my father who was smiling already

  "Shall we?"

  "Absolutely!" He snapped

Hours on,

  "Jordan, i'm so sorry! Why's is it so hard for you to understand?" Gia began calmly. She invited me for a date she had set up, she managed the bills and privacy in the VIP. I was actually tired of acting but i was forced to, i didn't want her to get to me easily.

  "What are you talking about?" I cringed

  "You know exactly what im talking about, lets start all over. I could be a stripper for you to notice me again..." My heart flew off. I wouldn't refuse a strip dance right now, i whispered to myself. "I would do the housekeeping over again, Jordan. What do you need me to do, baby?! I'm no longer mad at you..." 

  "I'm mad at you!" I yelled out unconsciously "I'm jealous...i hate to see someome around you if its not me. You-are-my-wife, Gia, not just someone else!" I pointed out outrightly "I pleaded with you day after day, all i was thinking about was seeing you get out of coma, i thought about you even in prison, i was mad at the fact that i hid the truth from you...i was scared of how you'd feel and...there! You changed up. I hid the truth, yes, but you didn't have to leave! That was unforgivable!" I stopped. I stood next to the glass, the view seemed perfect at night. I folded my arms while she stood behind me, i could feel it.

  "I shouldn't have left you..." She snapped forcefully

  "Then why did you?" I asked icily

  "I didn't know what..what came over me..." She almost stuttered

  "Nah! You did! It was all for his ass!" I snapped.

  "No...No...I..I thought that..." She stuttered again

  "Just stop thinking shit!" I almost yelled, her excuses were worthless. At this point, i was backed that i didn't have to plead for a crime i committed, someone had to.

  "I'm sorry! How could i love someone else? Where can i find someone like you, Jordan! Who would love a woman me? Who? But you did!"

I was moved by that statement, i was comfortable that she understood that i am the man for her not anyone out there. I was better, i knew that.

She wrapped her arms around me from behind, her began to roam around my chest, this girl had began to take charge but i wouldn't let that happen, i pinched myself to stay firm on my words. I turned to her slowly, anyone would think that i had given us a chance but no. I grabbed her hands instead staring into her feeble and innocent eyes

  "I don't think i'm ready to do this just yet! I'll just think about it!"

I went ovwr to the table to pick my cell phone and jacket, i also picked up her purse. 

  "The night was quite great, quite thoughtful of you. We should go!" I blurted. She was heartbroken.

  "I don't care if the night was great or not, its you i care about...i want you!" She began indignantly

  "Let's just go!" I instructed sternly.

09:15pm,

I walked out of the shower wiping off my face with a towel, i sighted Gia sitting on the other side of the  bed with a towel wrapped around her chest and another one on her head; she was talking to her friends through a video call, i stood feets away from where she was sitting.

  "Oh C'mon Zoe, he wouldn't listen to me for a second! I've tried everything, i tried alot including a date but no, Jordan's but falling for it....Yes, I know but come on; there's got to be something i can do to win him over....how can i? He's got that witch around and he's even making advances at the house keeper, it sucks!" Gia groaned "...Riley don't talk like that, i know that i laid some absurd options but i did that out of anger, i didn't mean it! He wouldn't touch or kiss me or even hug me like we use to, it hurts..."

I came in to view then she hung up instantly. She was startled as well.

  "What's the matter?" I asked

  "I..uh..I was talking to Riley and Zoe, we had something to discuss so i..." She stopped swallowing up "Did you..." She began again

  "...Hear what you discussed? Oh! Nah! I don't meddle but nothing was unheard to me anyways." I shrugged 

  "Are you mad at the fact that i shared my problem with my friends?" She asked

  "Why would i be, do i have a reason to be angry?" I was pissed already. I turned away

  "Then why can we not let this go? I'm sorry, you are sorry so what's next; what's taking us this long?" Her question struck me because i had no reason, i already killed the jealousy i had since Garry had been dealt with. I braced up with a stern face

  "Did you let go when i asked for the same favor?" I asked. I knew she had no answer to such question but i had to ask to stick with my horrible plan

  "Why are you hard on this, Jordan!" She angrily blurted, hitting me on the chest as hard as she could.

  "You know what, go to hell! The difference between you and Jane is impatience..." I feigned to be angered. She smirked

  "...Wow, Jordan! Jane's now the chic on board, really? Are you screwing her now?!" She asked but that was more of a conclusion than a question.

  "Hell yeah! I'm off to the new chic on board, Jane your goddamn employee!" I snapped then smiled forcefully. I made my way to door.

  "Are you really going to her tonight?! She must be good huh?" She added sarcastically with a taint of jealousy. I ignored. I smiled instead.

There was no way i could spend my time with Jane for dubious reasons, i headed to an empty room right after the private living room. I laid in bed to sleep but Gia's thought bombarded my mind instead, i wanted to be with her for the night but my ego wouldn't let me. I tried to close my eyes but Gia's face kept surfacing. I turned off the lights as my phone beeped, the bright light blinded my eyes. It was Lamar's text

     *Are you still planning against Gia?*

          *Yes! Why?*

     *You're an asshole! She's talking to my wife. Now!*

          *Oh shit! I had to. I'm not in bed..with her!*

     *I think she's leaving soon. I just heard it!*

I squinted. I dialed him instead and it connected.

  "Bro? How would you know?" I asked

  "Don't try to call me dumb ass, Riley would know!" He answered almost whispering. I had him telling Riley that he had a running stomach and urgently needs the restroom. "What did you do, kareem?"

  "I just had to pull something through, i told her i was headed to Jane's and she almost had me burnt down!" I added

  "Coming baby, just get ready!" Lamar screamed, he was replying his wife "Sorry man, i can't miss this opportunity to get under...." He said sarcastically yet laughing hysterically, i was pissed. I scoffed

  "To hell with you, man!" I hung up

I turned on the lights, then i sat upright thinking whether or not to go back to bedroom, i rubbed my head gently looking downwards. Someone walked in, i raised my head to see who was there, Tiana was.

She drew closer taking off her her robes, she was nude. I turned away while she crawled towards me. What a problem, i whispered beneath my breath. 

  "What the hell are you doing? Put on your robe!" I urged, she smiled instead.

  "What else Jordan, i want you! Can you not feel me?" She added. I hopped down from the bed, she didn't relent, she followed.

  "Get the hell out!" I instructed

  "No sweetheart. I want you tonight, right here and right now...don't you like what you see?! Hmm!" She caressed my face then emerged to my bare chest "You're hot you know. I'm so sorry for the last time, i lost my mind but this would be different, i promise!" She embraced me tightly "You're getting started I can tell, we can make this moment beautiful. No one has to know, would you say something?"

I pushed her away as she fell on the white sheets behind her. The door squeaked, Tiana rolled her eyes in disappointment then i turned to the door. Gia was standing right there in a white satin sleeveless mini gown. Gia walked in running towards Tiana who tried to cover her nudity, Gia threw over three brutal slaps at Tiana, she bled. I did not stop her, Gia stared at me distastefully then walked away. I followed without being told to but she slammed our bedroom's door to my face.

  "Gia!" I screamed banging on it, she ignored. "Gia, open the door! Open the damn door...Gianna!"

My screamings were useless. I leaned on the door  resting my head on it as well.

  "You watched her try to kill me and you said nothing? You're pathetic Jordan, you keep running to her every single time, she doesn't deserve you! Before anything goes wrong, i won't let this slip!"

She walked away briskly but i cared less. 

I headed to the room i stormed out of earlier, i grabbed my phone immediately then i dialed someone.

  "I want Tiana Dawson by dawn!" I hung up.

I went too far putting up an act but Tiana interrupted my life again, Gia would think whatever she wants but then, i'd fix Tiana in a more brutal way just to get her out of my life and that of my family's.
