YET TO COME

Chinwem and Clement OUT OF ORDER SERIES: BOOK SIX * * * * * _ Clement Ugwu springs upon Chinwem Chloe Nwabuagu out of nowhere. He is hell-bent on getting her to be his, persistent and there is nothing she can do to dissuade him. * * * * * 'You will never be able to run away from me Chloe,' he told her, their faces inches apart. Then, from his hands on her shoulders, his left hand travelled to the back of her neck in the speed of lightning, arched her neck back a bit as his lips descended on hers, hot and urgent. * * * * * _ He wasn't her father, the Nwabuagu tiger. He was not one of her three exes, John, Collins and Chima. Clement loved her. Well, the others had claimed to love her too until they had seen, beheld all that was her, her true form, unlovable, repulsing, twisted and void. What made Clement different? _ She couldn't find a solid reason to set him apart from his predecessors. They all pursued her relentlessly, tirelessly, claiming to want her, desire her. They all made her theirs, later falling in love with her, building and planning a future with her. Then, they all fell out of love with her when they saw the truth of her form. _ Therefore, when Clement had come into her life, she had raised her walls higher, been thrice on guard. Yet, he had slipped past all of her defenses and straight into her heart like cupid's arrow, melting it along with her walls and barricade. She had had no idea of when all these had happened for he had been as swift as an unexpected tide. * * * * * _ Will Chinwem open her heart to Clement or will she hang on to her past, allowing the darkness of her past to haunt her away from him? * * * * * I hope you enjoy @ OmaPhinaPhire

She was standing very close to the dessert table, looking around in while waiting for Clement with a glass of sweet and sour apple juice in her hands when someone cleared a throat behind her. She turned in the direction of the sound and came face to face with a smiling copper head, tall and beautiful.

'I bet he told you that he loves you,' was the very first thing she said to her through her pearly white smile. Chinwem lifted a brow at her, puzzled at her words. The copper head laughed. 'I am referring to the one who brought you here.' She understood then what she was getting at. 'Didn't he?' she asked.

'Why do you care?' she asked the copper head who laughed again. The lady seemed to really like laughing.

'I care because I do not want to see you hurt.' Her lips pressed into a thin line.

'Hurt?' she asked, once again, puzzled.

'Yes,' she answered.

'Clement would never hurt me.'

'I thought so too until he abandoned me at the altar. He never showed up.' Her heart stopped for a nanosecond. Was she speaking of Clement? Did he really do such?

'Why are you telling me this?'

'So you could be wise? I don't know. But I-'

'Sandra,' came Clement's voice. 'I haven't seen you in ages.' Chinwem noticed his face was hard, set so by anger.

'It's no fault of mine. You could have done so Clement, forever. But you chose not to,' she said. Chinwem knew instantly that she was talking about the unheld marriage.

'Sandra I-'

'Excuse me,' she cut him off. 'I think Amanda is calling me.' She turned to Chinwem. 'Do not forget whatever I have told you. It was nice to meet you Jade,' she told Chinwem before she left. It was very obvious that no one had called her. She had just cooked up an excuse to leave.

'Good riddance,' she heard Clement mutter under his breath.

'Who is she?' she asked.

'No one you want to know. Come along, mother wants to speak with you. I might have told her you dance at silver fire. I'm sorry. It just slipped out.' She sighed. 'Stay rest assured that I won't leave you to pacify her alone.' She forgot Sandra in the throes of this moment.
