IN LOVE WITH MY ASSHOLE BOSS

CHAPTER 31

She said that if I don’t believe in transformation then I should believe in miracles; according to her it was by the grace of God that she turned out great. she brought up her late parents, and she been left in the world all alone to take care of a little boy.

“That alone is enough to wreck a teenager’s mental health. She believes that she could have turned out just like Ruth if she didn’t have Gift. She also strongly believes that Ruth has a story that we don’t know about.

“No dear, you two are not similar in any way; you watched your family get killed, and still you grew up great, but both her parents are alive and she did all that she did. you are brave and courageous, and most importantly, you have the sweetest soul” I told her.

“Thank you for that statement……she said before I crossed one of my fingers on her lips.

“You are not and will never be like her, darling” I told her

“I know dear, but then she looks like she has changed for true, and it won’t hurt to observe her for a while; if after observing her for one week it turns out that she has been pretending then we will leave her for good” she said.

I hated the suggestion, but then I couldn’t deprive my girl joy, and neither could I say No to her request; that will definitely make her so sad.

“One week you said, and we will never discuss her again” I reconfirmed

“Yes one week, and it will all be over” she said
“Is it a yes? She asked

“Yes” I said very grumpy.

She smiled, hugged me tightly and professed her love to me. We kissed and gently made love in order not to hurt our baby.

Two days later, I woke up by 7:30am only to find Kylie dressing up beautifully like one who is getting ready for a date or work. I was astonished as I couldn’t recall Kylie having a job that she goes to on daily basis.

“Good morning love” she greeted.
“Good morning dear and how was your night?” I asked her
“Pretty” she said smiling boldly as she hum songs.

“Going somewhere? I asked
“Yes love” she said and made her way to the dressing table.

“Where? I asked and followed her

“The thing is, Ruth invited me out on girls date” she said looking so happy.
“Who? I asked her, surprised.
“Ruth! She wants to hang out.
“I heard you the first time, and you are going nowhere” I told her
She stopped what she was doing and turned to face me.
“I don’t get” she said.
“I mean you are not going anywhere with her, not today and not without my permission” I told her.
“Why? She asked.
“Because she isn’t safe to be around” I told her.

From her facial expression I could tell that my decision didn’t quite sit with her, but then I can’t say otherwise. She is my wife, and to think that she is willing to go see her without informing me makes me wonder if she can ever be safe without me around her. Even after all that I told her about Ruth she is still willing to risk herself and my unborn child just so that she could be friends with her.

“I want to go” she said
“Were you even planning to tell me about the plan” I asked her
“Yes I was going to tell you before leaving” she said
“Are you not aware that Ruth is a ticking bomb and you could get caught in the flame if she explodes” I asked her.
“She is not that dangerous” she said

“And how do you know that, you have only known her for few month and have conversed with her for few minutes, and that is definitely not enough time to learn about someone” I told her.

“Few meaningful minutes” she said.

“Take it or leave it, you are not going anywhere” I told her and stormed out of the room.

She followed me outside and tried persuading me, but then I stood on my ground, if not for anything, but for her safety.

“You promised to study her again, but you are doing exactly the opposite” she said

“You promised me that you will not see her all alone, but you are doing the exact opposite of what we agreed on, lady” I reminded her.

Surprisingly she started crying profusely; at first I thought she was pretending, but then it didn’t seem like it. Tears started pouring down her cheek, and when I tried to enquire from her what was wrong she ran back into the room and lay on the bed.

I tried apologizing to her, but that won’t stop her from crying; she told me to leave and even insisted that she won’t marry me again.

“Shocking right? I too was surprised at her actions and reactions.

“Babe, am sorry, please stop crying” I pleaded, but that still won’t work on her.

I promised to go with her on her date, but still that won’t work; at that point I was frustrated, and as a result I stood up from the bed and headed to the door.

“Are you leaving? Won’t you beg me? She asked.

I just stared at her, not knowing what to say or do; I went back to the bed and tried to hold her, but then she pulled off my hand from her body.

I begged her to at least stop crying so that she won’t hurt the baby, but she still won’t listen; I hurried out of the room and returned with a cup of frozen chocolate. I had read in “Mother and baby” that pregnant women can be grumpy for no just reason; according to the online research I made, pregnant woman have hormone changes and the changes affects their behavior and lifestyle. her behavior that morning made me believe what I read; at first she refused to lick the ice cream, so I tried taking it back to the fridge. she stood up immediately and collected it from my hand; she held it on her hand and wept.

I opened it and scooped a spoonful into her mouth and she swallowed it.

“you called me lady, instead of baby” she wept as she licked the ice cream.

it was then that my head boosted and I realized that my un-noticed use of title affected her and is the cause of her early morning grumpiness. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud; my laughter itself soon became problem as she claimed that I was making jest of her condition. I thought it was a joke until she started rejecting the ice cream; I begged her until my mouth swole up (figure of speech). I hugged her tightly and kissed her all over the face until she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Am very sorry, my love” I apologized to her.

“Am sorry too for not informing you about my engagement with Ruth prior to time” she said

I went to the restroom, brushed my teeth and had my bath; when I came out she wasn’t in the room. I was scared that she might have gone out without my knowledge, so I hurried into the living room in search of her. I saw her lying on the long sofa with one leg up; I tapped her and it turns out that she had slept off. I looked around the sofa and saw empty packs and crumbs of biscuits littered all around the floor.

It has barely been 20 minutes and she had consumed this much biscuits and sweets. I stared at her sleeping body and then on the floor; it is impossible to believe that my petite cute girl munched all that. At most I couldn’t help but laugh out loud; then I carried her into the room. I returned to the living room and cleaned up the place; after that I went and dressed up and hurried downstairs again.

I planned to go meet Ruth and warn her to stay far away from my girl; yes I know that I promised Kylie to give myself sometime to learn more about Ruth, but then her behavior today made me believe that nothing good could ever come out of their friendship. For the fact that she could leave the house to see an almost insane lady without informing me frighten me so much.

While she slept I decided to meet with Ruth quick before she wakes up; I got to the restaurant by 11am. She wasn’t there by the time I got there, so I ordered for a chilled cup of Americano to calm myself down. I waited for an hour and still she wasn’t there, so I called her and her number was busy; at first I didn’t call it anything, but after two hours I became scared that something might have happened to her.
I stood up to leave, but immediately she appeared before me, her dress stained in blood.
