Immediately I closed the door behind us, I counted my step as I went to stand in the center of the living room with my head bowed, I avoided looking at him.

He walked up to me and lifted my face with his hand, he exclaimed sadly.

“Oh mine! Becca… Have you been crying?

I did not reply, I thought he was going to kiss me, I wanted him to kiss away the pain he caused me but he didn’t.

I quickly recovered from imagining and thinking ahead of myself again.

He gently drew me into his arms, his heart was beating so fast. While mine was racing with speed.

We stood in the center of my living room. But I was too sober to speak as I remained in his arm like a troubled child. He released me a little and was about to finally kiss me when there was another interrupting knock on the door. I wanted him to go ahead with the kiss but he straightened and moved to take his seat.

My hand was into a fist as I started moving to the door to check the unfortunate person that interrupted a good moment between me and Ohio. I hope is not Jojo coming to tell me about her night class with Silas? Could it be Silas or another person?

I quickly matched down to the door.

“Ri… chard what… are you doing here and how did you get my house address?

I asked angrily. I was shock to see him immediately I stepped outside my door.

He looked like a child that was beaten up by his Mom.

Richard looks like he was going to cry.

” Becca, I.. I don’t know what I was thinking when I broke up with you. I loved you deeply, I still do but I was too carried away to realize how much of you was inside of me. I said awful things to you, Becca… please I’m really sorry. I listened to the wrong person, I was deceived and swept off by appearance and my foolishness. We kept it away as a secret and I don’t know if you later found out but I’m ready to confess everything to you and who I Left you for. Plea…

I gave a heavy unbothered sigh before saying.

“Is not new Richard. you said you were living me for someone who is better than me, a smart, loving, classy, very pretty lady who knows all the bed action which I don’t posses. I was hoping and expecting a whole new guru, a special kind of woman with you but you disappointed me and ended up with JoJo. C’mon, I expected something more than what I discovered. You are filled with disappointment Richard… after talking down on me, you ended up with my supposed unserious friend, that’s very funny and I feel like laughing but I will reserve the laughter for later. Let me tell you where you can find her, she is probably within the street… the house painted in blue, it has number 19 boldly written on it. Go over there and you will probably see JoJo. she is having night lesson in the bed of a gym instructor. You may want to join the fun. I don’t have time for you, I was very busy when you knocked and I kept somebody waiting inside. I have given you description of where you can find your classy, smart, beautiful, independent woman. She told me about smashing your head with her heel sometimes ago so becarful this time before she will finally break your skull with irons from her gym class. Byeee…

He moved closer, still looking like he was going to cry.

“Becca, please… let me into the house. I want to explain better to you. Please let me come inside so that we can talk…

“Which house? are you talking about this very house that I rented with my money and that of my Dad or there is another house you want to enter? I just told you the house to go to if you want to talk, have fun and see your evergreen woman. I don’t know how you got my address which is not surprising because you and JoJo thought you were playing me but I wasn’t fooled. You are not welcomed here Richard… please leave.

He took two steps closer to me, I moved back wards from him still blocking him from having access to my door knob.

“I’m sorry for hurting you, I never wanted to do so. I was stupid and did not realize it on time. I never knew that you were aware of me and JoJo. I fell for her tricks and charms, I wanted it to work between us, just to prove a point but she was not only violent and a cheat, she was a lying scumbag. I regret ever meeting her and even proposing marriage to her. JoJo was the same person that told me about you cheating on me with your boss friend. I did not believe her fully because your love for me was deep, you were faithful, cultured and disciplined but I wanted to hold onto something tangible to be able to end the relationship with you. JoJo update me on everything happening to you and we sometimes laugh and joke around with it. She told me when you rented this place and even where the house is located and I also confirmed it myself. She told me you got engaged but she have not seen your man before. I thought JoJo was a gold but she is not even worth a stone. Becca you are a diamond and I know you deeply loved me. Is being up to a year and yet I can’t seem to forget what we used to have… it was genuine, it was pure and undiluted. I’m here to make it up to you if you will please give me another chance. This time I will go the extra mile to make you happy for the rest of your life. I will cherish you with my whole being and love you like my life depends on it. I think God wants us to be together, you are not yet married, my own wedding plans was cancelled and I almost went bankrupt… I was in debt because of JoJo but I’m recovering gradually. I know my sins are heavy and looks unforgivable but for the sake of the true Love you once had for me please create a s space in your heart to accommodate me Becca. I’m not the same foolish Richard that hurt you, I’m a new man now and wiser than before. Please my true love… give me another chance to prove how much you meant to me.

I looked at him not knowing what to say. I was keeping Ohio waiting.

I quietly turned and open the door to go inside, Richard held the door.

He forced himself in and try to pull me to himself, I screamed out of shock. He covered my mouth with his.

Richard kissed me like his Life depends on it.

I struggled to get free but he held me to himself.

I raise one of my legs and stamped hard on his feet.

He quickly pushed me aside but I was so pissed up with what he did. Out of annoyance I slapped him hard across the face.

He withdraw back holding his hot cheek.

“How dare you Richard?

I shouted at him angrily.

Somebody made a sound behind me, I quickly turned and saw Ohio standing and watching us in silent.

My heart skipped, he probably saw the unexpected forceful kiss from Richard.

We were standing by the door, inside my living room. Richard forced himself in but was still standing behind the closed door.

Ohio must have seen everything.

Richard look straight ahead and saw Ohio, who was gradually walking down to the door.

He probably want to Leave and that maybe my last chance of having him as a friend. Richard came to destroy the tiny ray light that was about to erupt between Ohio and I.

I felt like crying and attacking Richard again for coming to destroy my happiness.

Ohio probably heard or saw the last dreaded part that makes me want to fly into action and unleash terror on Richard.

“Bec… Becca. I wanted to remind you of what we used to have, I want to make you think back and remember the good old days… you used to enjoy both my kiss and touch. Becca, I know I messed up big time, I regret everything I ever did to you. I hurt you with my harsh words and actions… I’m sorry. I got carried away with JoJo thinking she was worth it but I realized that I lost a diamond while picking stone. I really missed you Becca. I know you have probably moved on but I won’t be able to live without you, my conscience won’t be at rest until you come back to me. You loved me dearly and it will be hard to forget about me in a hurry… Bec…

Richard stopped talking when Ohio came to stand beside me.

I don’t know what he was up to. All my thought was that he wanted to leave but he just stood, staring at Richard who stopped talking.

Ohio shocked me further by saying to Richard.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I think you should leave. I saw you forcing yourself on her. Real men do not do such thing. You say your mind then give her time to think if she wants you back or not. You don’t go forcing yourself on a woman and expect her to consider your request. Is obvious she is not cool with your presence… please kindly leave and try to be a gentleman next time.

I was dumb founded that Ohio was not angry with me instead he was defending me.

Richard looked from Ohio to me before firing back at Ohio.

“I don’t know who you are and I don’t care to know but don’t tell me what to do. allow Becca speak for herself. Stay away from this and stop trying hard to prove you are better off. You don’t even know where and when Becca and I started so stay off and keep your poshness to yourself… is irritating me.
