Chapter 117 Sub 3: My emotions

My emotions!

Days on,

Gianna headed out for grocery shopping with Jane, she preferred being acquainted to home making, that was one of special gifts she was possessed. I was in my bedroom when i heard a knock on the door while i was working on my computer.

  "Who ever it is, just come in!" I cringed still fixed on the screen. I raised my heas to see who it was, it was Yeesha.

  "Hey Kareem!" She came forth in a white and purple body con, she was elegant in essence yet her braided corn rows was sassy too and i liked it. She gave me hug then i placed a kiss on her forehead, just as always.

  "Hey sweet heart! Did you come alone?" I asked just in case Clinton, my newly found rival, was present too.

  "Oh no! He's out with friends who flew over to see him. Why?" She asked with a questionable look, we sat in bed.

  "I uhm...i don't want to see certain people around..." I blurted unconciously then she tilted her head "...never mind!"

  "That's not funny! You know I'd only come around with Clinton and no one else so who's that one person you don't wanna see?" She asked

  "Cmon baby! Its nothing...you know how crazy I could be? I can be so Unbelievable and inconsiderate....Hey! Lets talk about why you're here?" I asked too

  "Something tells me that you are concerned about something!" She blurted then continued after a slight rub on my chin. "What's up with you and G! We've heard literally nothing from you two. Kareem its been a year and roughly right months and still nothing, are you both ok?" She stopped

  "Er! Gia and i are still trying to take our time." I said

  "Take your time?" She scoffed, she seemed slightly disappointed "Y'all announced some good news thrice and..." She stirred. I interrupted instantly, i was getting pissed 

  "Could you just shut it?"

  "Kareem?"

  "Could you just shut it! You are saying nothing new, Yeesha! Why are y'all so into this child thing though? Its absurd!" I cautioned trying hard not to yell at her.

  "Forgive me but it don't feel right! Is she ok...like....is she healthy enough or is there something you got in mind?"

  "She's totally fine! We are fine. Can you stop asking already? Did Mama send you to me?...."

  "No..oo..oo! I came by myself..."

  "Then stop asking! Besides, you are pregnant and happy." I said with a forceful smile.

  "I know but i really thought that this was going to be epic...G gets pregnant and me too...we...you know! And did you father tell you?" She stirred again in excitement 

  "What exactly? I've heard a couple of nonsense lately. Spit it out, Hazel!" I coaxed cringing

  "Clinton would be a Co CEO at the industry....that's a big hit!!!!" She smiled waiting for my response patiently

  "Oh yeah? That's a big hit huh?" I said with a tight smile.  Her smile faded immediately she saw my impression towards her victory, I'd say.

  "Kareem you don't seem happy, are you?" She asked

  "I am!" I feigned a grin

  "Just spill it ok? Why pretend and keep it to yourself?" She blurted out

  "Ok! I'

m not! Im not happy! I've never been ever father since your pathetic husband became a 'Co'!" I air quoted. I had to say my mind because i was reduced to nothing. 

  "Take that rubbish back Kareem, Clinton's not pathetic!" She stood up also defensive

  "Oh please Yeesha, he could have said no to father's offer...besides its my position, my inheritance, my industry...come on, I've worked so hard to get to this stage and so i can't SHARE IT!" I stopped you breath

  "Nah Man! I won't have you insult Clinton that way. You're unbelievable right now...are you jealous that he is as good as you...or even better..." She blurted out and that was disrespectful to me. I didn't know when i lifted my arm to hit her face, i refrained quickly. She was shocked that i attempted to hit her, i tried to scare her off not hit her. I wouldn't dare to dare my sister on purpose.

  "Jordan?" I heard Gia call out my name, and that was a shock to me as well.

  "Did you try to hit me, Kareem? Was that even worth it?  You are such a loser...always remember that! Clinton would always be someone special and not you!" She added angrily. She turned to leave, Gianna interrupted.

  "My husband's not a loser Yeesha, don't you think that was...a sorta crud..." Gia cautioned politely

  "...Don't talk to me about him, G! He's actually lost the respect i have for him...and i could as well tell that you've also contributed to this, i really don't know what it is you both are hiding but I'll surely find out! Losers!" She added walking away. I dragged her by the arm angrily

  "Did you just say that shit to me?" I cautioned

  "Let her go, Jordan!" Gia held my arm as well. Is this a sort of movie audition or what, i thought inside.

  "Gi..." I began but she did it let me finish.

  "...Let her go!" She added sternly

  "Maybe she's got a point!" Yeesha rolled her eyes after she blurted her trash. I was fuming in anger but there nothing i could do, Gianna seemed mad already. Yeesha left finally.

Gianna turned to the dresser taking off her jewelry, i went over to her then grabbed on her slender waist tightly. It was a start up if i was asked.

  "Get off me!" She instructed. She seemed rigid at this point, i wasn't surprised. I suspected that she must have over heard  our conversation.

  "Babe, what's the matter?" I asked. She turned to me slowly and then the first thing i saw was the tears rolling down her cheeks without a stop. I was undoubtedly hurt. I tried to speak but she did not let me say a word either.

  "You lied to me! You lied to me about everything Kareem, did you have to?" She began

  "I wanted to tell you but i didn' know how to tell you. You'd only get hurt babe, you would. I don't want na hurt you, Gia!" I explained holding her wrists.

  "You should've said something!" She turned to sit on the bed, she wiped her tears. I dragged a chair to sit before her.

  "Babe? I swear to you that i tried..." I tried to convince her

  "Did you try harder, baby? I am the reason why you can't have the industry...i am the reason why Yeesha ridiculed you, i am the reason why you've been insulted and underestimated...i am the reason...." She jabbered 

  "...Gia just stop it, you hear me?" I yelled out furiously "Its you I'm about not them! We can have a child when ever we choose but it mustn't be this second, ok? I don't care what they'd think or what they think, i got you!" I cautioned

  "No baby you don't get it, you've done enough already and I still don't want you suffering avd wailing over Jordan, i want you happy! We've tried for over a year and months and this is it? Can you not see that i can never have a child? I can't even pay you back with a single child...that's a height of it for me!" She stated outrightly. She was right about everything but i didn't care about a child. We were both silent for a minute, i couldn't let her sulk again.

  "Gia? Gia? Gi..."

  "...What?" She yelled but then i understood her anger.

  "...Would you just listen to me right now? I'm the man, remember?" I reminded, she nodded positively then i proceeded "I want you not a child, i want my wife not a child, i want my seductress not a child so what's the matter Gia? We've money...everything so why bother anyways? I got you...we could just..." I held ger knuckles and placed a wet kiss on them. Gia blushed and i felt relaxed once more. "...just live a normal life! I don't give a damn actually, I've always told you that...you don't listen!"

  "Its not that easy, baby, i want to carry your child...i want someone like you." She rubbed my face, it was sensational. "I've got an idea..." Her eyes widened abd brightenrd with a smile. "Get married again...have a child and we'd always be ok, i promise..." She blurted still smiling. Did she just spit that rubbish, i asked myself. I pushed her away gently.

  "Are you put of your mind, Gia? If i had wanted a woman then I'd always get one. Don't you ever tell me that shit 'coz i won't let you live you say it!" I turned away instantly yet she didn't give up for a second. 

  "Im sorry Jordan but we could get a surrogate...see?"

She added regardless. Wasn't she staring at an angry and furious face?! Oh dang! Gia never listens when its about my emotions. I heaved a deep sigh.

  "Whoever told you that Jordan Kareem Khaleefa would go for cheap thrills had played fast one you 'coz you lost the bet, you've got to be kidding me!" I headed out of the room.

After i have had lunch, i got a video call from Jeff and Lamar. Obviously, everyone wants to talk about Jordan, the industry and child. I exhaled first before answering.

  "Hey guys?!" I began. I walked out to get some air beside the pool.

  "Look who we got, the Co CEO." Lamar teased but i felt bad, I shouldn't carry about a CO before a CEO. I forced a smile to snap out of a crazy but innermost thought.

  "What's that for though?" I asked still smiling

  "Are you getting infuriated already?! I figured the moment you said 'who's Clinton anyway?' at the bar last night! Don't tell me you're jealous?" Lamar added, he really wants to get on my nerves. I rolled my ears instead

  "Yes but you don't have to remind him, Lamar! You never can tell if Clinton us better or not?!" I couldn't believe Jeff acted shady, i thought that he was on my side since he was the most reasonable amongst us. They laughed out sarcastically and i felt it in my bones. I turned away and back again

  "Are you both done? See you  at the bar!"  I said coldly

  "Of course! We'd be there no doubt!" Lamar said

  "Or maybe you could take back what you said at the bar..." Jeff added sarcastically. There! They bursted out into laughter while i remained silent. I wondered if they called or you to throw some ugly shades at me.

  "What the hell is wrong with you two? Whats then jest all about though? Look guys, I'll see at the bar, 8pm sharp ok?" I said, i was pissed at their attitude and i could bet that they tried tomock me on purpose. I hung up. I hurried inside. A call came through then I stood at the living room, it was an unknown number. I disliked times like this, running into someone who claims to know right from highschool and tries to extort money from you. I answered anyways.

  "Who's speaking?" I asked without pleasantries, i did not want to it either. The line was breakingzbd a female's voice followed. I was really to say a word. I hung up but the number called back.

  "Who's speaking? The reception's bad i guess!" I tried to understand who it was.

  "Hi! This is Tiana Dawson...." She began but i had no patience to listen in details

  "....Who ever this is, i know no one called Tiana Dawson. You tried enough but not too good a'ight. Don't call me up..." I jabbered stating my terms instead.

  "Could you hear me out darling, this is...." She persisted

  "...Did you not hear me? Who ever it is, what you do or where you're from, i don't wanna hear it! Keep to that" i warned them hung up instantly then headed upstairs.
