Chapter 57: Fighting for us!

Fighting for us!

11:33pm,

Ada had tried to swallow the pain and discomfort Eric rendered her new boyfriend, Dylan. Since they had nothing to do with each other, why was always coming on and on to ruin time she's built to restart her life. She trued to see the deputy governor but she was denied access to, she pleaded and scolded at the same time her to no avail k. She waited for over an hour for him to conclude whatever he was busy with. She walked in as respectfully as expected. She met his relaxing and seeing the news.

  "Deputy!" Ada called sarcastically as she sat down staring at Eric with a faint smile

  "You came! I didn't think you would." Eric said smiling as he offered her a glass of whisky. She accepted, taking down a sip.

  "You why I'm here, don't you?"

  "Ahh huh! But I'd like you to say better than I would." He simply said with reproach

  "If you insist I'd go straight to the point to save us both our precious time. The last time I pleaded with you Eric, you turned me down. You claimed to hate anything attached to marriage and now; you appear from wherever you may have been hiding to destroy my life huh?" Ada began. He looked around licking his lips swiftly then said

  "Yeah that's right, I've been stupid and I admit. All I want is for us to rekindle the flame we blew off, that I blew off..." He stood up from his seat then walked to sit next next to her, he continued while she turned to him "I'm so sorry for everything I've done. I refused to continue because I felt I was dragging y'all down to the dust. What do I say as a husband and a father when I have got nothing else to give you or make you feel satisfied and comfortable...I just got to realize that I should have done more better..." He said as she stopped him

  "....Nah Eric, don't start with the realization shit, I'm not ready for that. I want to move on. I've moved on Eric, you should do the same..." She persisted

  "....But I don't want to, I want to be with you Ada. I love you Ada, I really do..." He tried to persuade her as he held her knuckles then she took off her hands.

  "Look....Look Eric, I'm not here to hear you confess your feelings to me or hear your regrets...'coz as a matter of fact, I don't care. Stay out of Dylan's way, please. Is that too hard to ask?" She said to him

  "I can't. I just can't. If I can't have you Ada, Dylan Can't....nobody can. I swear to you that I'll take you back!" He reminded her

  "That's your bullshit, you can't do nothing." She stood up to leave as he also stood up grabbing unto her arm then he pressed her unto his body, causing her to look intensely into his eyes.

  "Ada, you know me when I mean my apologies and you know me when I mean my bullshit." He said softly to her face then he proceeded "Honey! I'm sorry for causing you so much pain, I'm ready to pay for it. I love you Ada, with all of me....I need you now and forever..." He leaned over then pressed a kiss on her lips, she trembled and quivered in doubt as their passionate kiss lasted for 10 seconds then she pushed him away.

  "I don't want to do this, I'm done with you Eric. Move on!" She walked out briskly as he watched her. He missed this beautiful and exotic feminine figure that wouldn't give him a chance. He gave an instruction to one of his men to book an anonymous appointment at Dylan's firm, he wanted to talk extensively because he believed Dylan was the reason Ada was off minded about him even if he admitted he was totally wrong. Ada drove to a nearby coffee which her friends agreed to meet for a talk.

I arrived at the same time with Lola, about fifteen minutes late because we were called on abruptly so we couldn't make things happen like a snap. We sat down looking at her like a judge while we were the clergy men.

  "Guys, thanks for coming on, I just need to talk to y'all about something really important. Like, I'm into a confusing situation right now and I can't think straight..." She post jabbered

  "Hey bissh. All you got to do for now is breathe in and out. " I said as she inhaled and exhaled out "Good! So what's up with you?" I asked her

  "Yeah! We left our jobs to come through so I wouldn't nothing for an answer." Lola added rightly. We wouldn't leave our Jobs for a NOTHING content.

  "Trust me, this is important to me." She stopped then continued "I was at Eric's office earlier to talk about Dylan and I, remember what I said he did to Dylan..."

  "Yeah. Sure." We answered in unison respectively

  "...Good. I tried to explain things to him, to tell him how engaged I am and I told him that I've moved on." She stopped

  "Then what happened Ada? It didn't stop there." I asked 

  "He confessed how much he loved me and the worse of it all....He kissed me!" She finalized

Lola and I stared at each other in surprise and frenzy. I wasn't very much surprised at it because I prayed for it.

  "Do you love him?" Lola asked 

  "Seriously do you?" I added in support

  "I don't know. I don't love Eric anymore, I love Dylan, he's my type of my man." She stated

  "You're confused. There's no point lying to yourself...not us...that you are in love with Dylan not Eric. No doubt, you may have fallen in love with Dylan but its obvious that you still love Eric. No doubt." I lectured her

  "Look Danni, I don't love Eric ok. I'm angry at every thing he did to me, it wasn't something I could handle. I don't even know who's real? These guys are great guys but..." She admitted

  "Exactly. You said it yourself. Theses guys are great guys but you need to pick a side. If its Dylan, then not even a kiss should interfere with your decision. For you to have allowed Eric come close to you and kiss you then you feel some tingles. If its Eric you love, its time you let Dylan understand why you have to move on with your ex husband, if you love Dylan, Ada; you just got to let it happen. I think you know better." Lola advised rightly

  "Of course. So can we head back now? Jancinthe wouldn't stop mailing me." I said taking my bag as Lola did the same, we were really busy at our jobs

  "Thanks for coming. I'd take the advise extensively." She said with a fai t smile

  "I'm so sorry we can't stay longer than usual, demand at work I'd really high, please." I persisted with a plead

  "Yeah sure! Love you baby!" Lola added

Ada smiled as we walked out scurrying in our corporate outfits that made us look classy and work-minded.

07: 19pm,

I got home exhausted, Bella helped me with my bags and some shopping bags. Unfortunately, Jordan was asleep when i got home; I felt bad about it. I checked on him with a few kisses on his forehead, he slept like an angel then I wondered how sudden children grow.

I entered the bedroom then I took off my shoes and clothe for a warm shower then I slid into my baggy home wears after wrapping my hair Into a rough bun. I didn't want to eat much for dinner so I decided dessert would do the.magic of taking away menial hunger. I slid under the blanket with a bowl of dessert then I turned on Netflix to see a movie. I tried to call Jamal but it wasn't connecting suddenly the door squeaked as he  walked in all sweaty in a sports wear.

  "Babe! You're back!" He said as he walked up to me and landed a kiss my lips for barely two seconds 

  "Hey baby!" I smiled as I concentrated on the movie and dessert as well. He walked into the shower too. Within minutes he walked out headed to his closet for a white Nike sweat pants while his upper body remained bare. He slid into the blanket as well with a bowl of chocolate chips as we saw the movie together

  "How was work?" He asked me while our eyes were fixated on the TV screen.

  "Hectic. Good thing we did well for today, continuing tomorrow. How about you? Seems like you came home early?" I asked

  "Not really. I was done at 6 on the dot then I went to the gym....you saw the sweat and all that...getting worked out for you!" He teased as smiled in unison

  "I know that! I do that too c'mon. I work out real good...keeping me for you, baby!" I said as well. He cleared his throat to continue

  "I need to talk to you Danni." He blurted, this time he turned to me. "could you turn it off for a moment, please?"

  "Sure why not!" I said turning it off as agreed then I turned to him "What is it you want to talk about?"

  "I uh...I thought about what you asked. The moving shit. I think we could actually do that..." He said as I screamed calmly in excitement

  "You don't mean it! Are you sure you wanna do this? I mean, you could take the whole time in the world for that. I'm not in a hurry, we'll be just fine." I explained just in case I pressured him about it.  

  "No. I thought about it. I've got nothing to hold back onto here in this city, lets move to Miami or maybe Texas or the UK....just anywhere in the world I'd be ready to move with you." He added sweetly and honestly

  "That's so sweet. I'll begin my arrangements then..." I said with a grin

  "I'm working on that already. Trust me!" He said then he kept the bowl of chips that was halfway eaten then he collected my bowl of dessert keeping it to the side. He turned off the white lights then he turned on the blue lights while I stood still like a mannequin waiting for the next reaction. He crawled up on me, his face to my face then he said

  "Do you really want to know what happened to me at work today?" He waited for my response, I didn't hesitate

  "I want to hear all of it. I want to know how gullible you were today!" I cupped his face to mine. He smiled and continued

  "I was thinking about you and how badly I needed you. At a point, I stopped working 'coz I couldn't control my myself babe, I was totally off work..." He said while I laughed "...I swear. I was reminiscing on your love for me and how badly you turn me on...jeez Danielle, I couldn't keep track; that was reason why I went to the gym even if I could do every thing here in the house...I needed a resistant....and unfortunately, you're irresistible. I love you wife with all my heart." He said finally as we proceeded with so many uncontrollable kisses and then our bodies clenched bare against each other and then he thrusted Into me as I let out a soft moan, i loved every moment about it. He was soft and tender with me, he made sure I didn't have to feel hurt about anything or the feeling that came afterwards, my dream man.

The next Morning, 

06:05pm,

We were naked under the white sheets as I stretched my hand to turn off the alarm clock. Jamal would always let me then it off, he wouldn't do that even for once. I tapped Jamal to wake up but he didn't

  "Jamal, get up!" I coaxed sleepily

I turned to my cell phone then I saw Carol's text. 

      *Could you help out, please Danni!*

I groaned in exhaustion from whatsoever then I remembered that I had something to 

Search through. I hopped down the bed putting on my underwear and  my shirt alone then I scurried to the cupboard where I assumed the flash drive was kept. I searched through the little paper box where I kept some flash drives from work then I spotted this black and red one from Betsy.

I tucked to the side of my laptop to see what was Inside it. It loaded then I clicked on an icon I recognized to be from the flash drive to view its content. First,  a section of where transaction receipts of enormous abd heavy amount of money was embezzlement from government officials' accounts. Secondly, a recorded video of Jada, Dexter and some politicians exchanging ammunition with terrorist that Pete and Carol battled to clear off from borders and attacks. Thirdly, I saw some pictures of people she wanted to take money from, to wrap it all up Jada was in alliance with terrorist and also a professional cyber criminal. I stood shocked and at the same time excited that I found something against Jada. Jamal was behind me all this while I did not know until I raised my head. 

  "Morning baby!" He said as we kissed a French kiss regardless of what I found.

  "Morning sweetheart! I got something to show you. C'mon, sit down and take a look." I coaxed. He smiled folding his arms

  "I saw them." He said simply

My brows tilted In surprise

  "How did you...." I stuttered

  "I was behind you. How could you not tell me about this babe, we've been together all through and you hide such risky information with you?" He scolded in disappointments

  "I'm so sorry babe. I forgot that I had this with me, I just remembered from the text Carol sent this morning. I'm really sorry, I swear I didn't want to hide it from you." I pleaded, I admitted that I was wrong

  "What does she want?" He asked about Carol 

  "Vengeance. Trust me, she doesn't know I have this, no one does except you. Betsy gave it to me the last time I visited her, its a long story and I'm willing to tell you every single thing about it." I said. I discussed everything with him from start to finish, one thing I was glad about was his listening features, he listens more than he talks or pass judgment except in the cases of jealousy. I suggested that I was going to take this up and Carol would be more than excited to see this but Jamal defiantly refused concluding it would put my life in harms way, no doubt about that but I wanted the truth let out and I wanted her to pay for all the unbearable pain she caused us and even to the McClure's. Jamal wouldn't let me Say a word about it, he ceased the flash drive yet I couldn't search for it. He hides properties like an amphibian hiding her eggs under the sand, too impossible to know.
