Chapter 24 MINE AT LAST
A Year Later
Tobias POV
“Can we talk,” I stood still not even looking at her, I knew who it was, I could recognize her voice from anywhere. “What do you want to say,” your brother made it for you to stay away from me, “my brother is an idiot, and am not a child, he can’t tell me what to do,” she replies shrugging her shoulder, “what do you want Rebecca, if you’ve come to accused me of sleeping with your brother’s girlfriend, then get over with it, as you can see, am starting over again after your brother destroyed my life” I don’t want to be involved in sibling quarrels, “um I broke up with him,” I was confused “who?” I asked, “Brandon,” I broke up with Brandon.
Why? I thought he was perfect, yes, he is but I don’t want a perfect man, I don’t want someone detecting what I do, I don’t want him telling me when to go to the office or what I should wear and not to, I don’t want someone controlling me. Like you said, I am not a controlling person. What are you trying to say Becca, just tell me, Shut up! She screamed, throwing her arms out in annoyance, how can she be so damn stubborn.
“Tell me how you feel Becca” fine! I like you, happy? I like you a lot Tobias, even though I know it’s not right but I don’t care anymore, I like when you bother me or when you do something stupid to get my attention, I also hate you, you piss me off more than my brother, you are cocky, you call me the most annoying names ever but I love them because I know you only do that because you care about me. I like how you smile every time you set your eyes on me, it’s like you reserved a specific smile for me. I love you because when you look at me, I feel like the most special person in the world. Am terrified of how much I like you, I wish you could kiss me right now. Smiling, I pull her into me and our lips clash together. It feels amazing than the first kiss I gave her, if that was even considered a kiss. It was a peck on the lips. This one is different, it feels genuine, a desire, there is passion and care, fear and doubt altogether. Her arms snake around my neck, lips on mine as our tongues dance in each other’s mouth. We stayed like that until I slowly pulled us apart. I stared at her, softly brushing her hair behind her ear before I spoke.
“You love me” I say smiling, is that all you got from what I said, she scoffed which made me laugh at how cute she looked. Chuckling, I cup her cheek with my hand and staring at her, getting hypnotized by her beauty. She is so beautiful. “I love you Becca, so much” I can practically hear her heart leap in her chest, only making me smile wider. I kissed her again and picked her up, swirling her while she giggled like a child.
No one has said something like that to me before, I gasped, not even Brandon, she nods, not even Brandon. “well get used to it, I will make sure to remind you everyday”
“Will you be my girlfriend?” she takes in another breath and looked at my eyes, searching for any reason not to trust me but she can’t find one, she smiled “okay, I will be your girlfriend” it comes out shaky, why is she so scared, I held her close, “you know people no longer care about dating older women and I assure you my parent knows am in love with you” they were actually the ones that told me to tell you how I feel before it was too late. Well, that makes me happy that your parents are our biggest supporters and am happy you told me, I would have married Brandon.
Did you love him? No, I never did, he was just an option you know. Am I, am I also an option to you. God no, you can never be an option to me, have liked you for a long time but my mother said I would not be respected if I dated a young person, I was okay with that, then she said “think about the company, what would people say?” and that is what I did, gave the company and let you go because Lucas wasn’t ready then to be the CEO but now he is and am ready to hand it over to him and pursue my happiness, which is you Tobias, you are my happiness.
I blushed. How can you be so cheeky, she held my hand and kissed me, “only for you my love, only for you” you don’t believe I slept with Arya right? Like you would sleep with anyone that isn’t me. What? I saw the list Tobias, what list? to do list with Rebecca and we can cross kissing, and confess out, now what next? Date and sex or we have sex first then date later? What say you? Is she flirting with me, Becca is flirting with me. Well, I want to take you out first before we do the nasty.
I trust you Tobias, hmmm? I know you did not sleep with Arya, someone is behind all this, if my brother could just calm down and listen like a matured person instead he throws more tantrums than a child. Where is he? In his room, working, that’s all he does till this day. Have you found Arya though, no, I think she left town, I don’t think she wants to be found after what happened to her brother. Her brother is dead? But I wired the money immediately. I saw her begging my brother, saying something just doesn’t add up. I just hope my brother comes back to his senses before it is too late.
It been two weeks since I last saw Becca, she has been busy showing her brother what he needs to know, it was time for her to hand over the company to him, I didn’t know she didn’t like the job, she told me she hated working for the company, there is a lot of things I don’t know about Rebecca. We chat a lot, she is so sweet with her text which makes me wonder if it is really her typing the message, like the message I just got never knew she would be so concerned about me.
Rebecca: Hey babes, where are you?
Tobias: am at work dearThis is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Rebecca: When will you be back, I am so bored right now, I miss you, when will you be back? she whined,
Tobias: Be back soon
Becca: About that date, I think we should have it at home
Tobias: “My place or yours?”
Becca: Yours, am staying with Lucas and watching over Isa as well
Tobias: Oh, “how is she by the way?”
Becca: Devastated, she argues a lot with her father, she has decided to go to boarding school, she doesn’t want to see or talk to her father
Tobias: She finally agreed, after Arya tried everything for her not to go there.
Becca: It her choice babe, she can’t stand the sight of her father and I think she needs to be away from home
Tobias: I miss the little brat though
Becca: She misses you too, maybe our second date I can bring her over to see you
Tobias: That would be nice
Becca: So, when will be done so I can freshen up,
Tobias: In thirty minutes time, I’ll be done here
Becca: See you soon babes, love you
Tobias: Love you too
