"Temi, why are you acting like this?" Ethan asked.
Temi's smirk didn't leave her face as she looked at him up and down, before asking;
"Acting like how?"
"I don't know what I did to you that made you walk up to me and slapped me...!" As soon as those words left Ethan's mouth, he quickly pursed his lips as he began to regretting why he had said those words.
As soon as those words left Ethan's mouth, Temi couldn't contain herself as she let out a chuckle.
Looking at Ethan, she bit her lip as she asked;
"You don't know what you did to deserve that slap?"
Ethan nodded.
"Yeah, I don't!"
'F*ck you Ethan, what are you doing?'
Ethan was trying not to sound too hard on Temi. It seemed he wasn't in control of himself anymore...
Temi raised her eyebrows with the smirk still on her face.
"You don't know what you did...?" Her voice was gentle.
Ethan went silent.
"Even though I 'know' what I did, why did you have to slap Olivia?"
Yep...it's settled...Ethan, you're the dumbest human being, God ever created...!
Ethan could not believe that he had just said those words...
What was wrong with him?
Temi let a throaty laugh.
"So you 'do' know what you did?" She asked.
Ethan opened his mouth but soon closed it back as he what know what to say.
Temi's lips broadened as she asked again;
"Do you know what you did?"
Ethan was silent.
"C'mon Ethan, do you know what you did? Can you tell everyone?" Temi pestered.
Sighing, a sign that she was tired of waiting, Temi placed her glasses in her pocket, as she adjusted her coat.
Ethan knew she was ready to talk.
"If you're not talkin', I'ma gon' tell it...;" Temi said.
"Temi, please...!" Ethan suddenly began begging.
Temi looked at him in shock.
"What are you begging me for?" She asked really surprised.
Ethan looked around nervously.
He swallowed hard.
"You refused to talk, so I want to take the initiative to explain it...!"
"But can you not talk 'bout it in front of... people!" Ethan said as he was referring to the security guards.
Temi looked around with widened eyes.
"Do you not want me to talk 'bout your scandal?" Temi asked still wide-eyed as she stared at Ethan.
Ethan's eyes widened in shock.
"Scandal?" He asked.
"What do you mean...?"
"Oh, so you don't know what you did?" Temi asked as she tilted her head to the left side.
Ethan was getting uncomfortable as he looked around, more people were gathering around.
"Even if you must talk 'bout it, can you not use some of those 'so-called' brains of yours and reason wisely?" Ethan was getting tired of the shit that Temi was pushing at him.
Temi looked around, before pointing at herself with her index finger as she asked;
"Oh, w...were you talkin' to me?"
"Nah, I'm talkin' 'bout that bullshit that's right behind you!" Ethan said.
Temi laughed as she placed her hands in her pockets as she stood to face him directly.
"I think I've tolerated you enough!" She said.
Ethan swallowed hard.
"I don't care what you wanna do to get me to not talk 'bout what you've done. The scandal you've committed...!" Temi said.
"What scandal are you...?"
"First of all, the brains that are being given to every one of us, aren't they used to reason wisely every time?" Temi asked.
As Ethan was about to say something, Temi cut him off again.
"We're all created in God's image, and have some part of him in us, and some people don't know how to make use of it, but yours...?" She scoffed.
"Yours is hopeless...Even God often wonders if 'He' was the one that created and formed you!"
"Ooooo...!"
"Oh my God...!" Some people said as they got out their phones to record the scene.
"Hey! Isn't that the guy that proposed to that lady...?"
"And isn't that the lady that he proposed to...?" Another asked.
"Why is she lying on the floor...?"
Some people gasped as one lady asked;
"Is she dead...?"
"No! She isn't!" Samson quietened them sternly, only to receive glares from the ladies around.
"And who are you?" One of them asked as she eyed him.
"I'm the guy that just told you to keep your mouth shut!" Samuel said sternly.
The lady that had asked him the question narrowed her eyes at him as she inwardly gritted her teeth.
"And I'm the guy that has known these two (2) right from small and we're friends. And I've also been right here with my guys, witnessing the whole scene unfold before y'all arrived...!"
"Wait, wait, wait...!" The lady scoffed.
"So what you're saying is...you've known these two (2), or three, and you're a security guard?" All the other ladies began laughing as they turned away.
"Yeah, right...!" All the other ladies laughed.
Samson didn't talk anymore as he turned his attention back to the arguing duo.
"You're asking me to use my brains when wanting to talk 'bout your scandal, did you ever use 'your' brains when doing all those stuff in secret?" Temi asked.
Ethan scoffed.
"Did the brains that God gave you, alongside your conscience...did you ever use both or any of them? That you're standing so bold and tall, to indirectly, but directly that is clear for everyone to see, that...!"
"What are you talking 'bout? What scandal are you referring to...?" Ethan was getting pissed, so he cut in and asked.
"I'm talking 'bout the type of scandal where you cheat on your girlfriend, with her best friend, when in actual fact, you three, have all been best friends since the time you were all in high school!" Temi exploded.
"Even if we did date, you never gave me what I wanted, and now...!"
"Wanted? What have you ever wanted that you never received?" Temi asked as she eyed him.
"You never kissed me, or, did any of those kinds of stuff with me, so what's the fun part of dating, huh?" It was Ethan's turn to act angry.
"The fun part of dating is when you wait till when the girl's ready...!" Temi yelled.
"When are you gonna be ready?" Ethan asked the question that seemed to make sense with everyone standing there (that has been, or is involved in the dating activity).
"You don't know what it means for a guy to wait patiently for his girl when she's 'not' ready!" Ethan said.
"You don't know what it does to a guy!"
"Trying always to hold himself back till when his girl's ready is not healthy for a guy's mental and physical state...!"
"Yeah, it could drive 'em crazy...!" One black lady said.
Samson turned to look at her.
"You should be the one saying these things not 'we' ladies!" The black lady said.
"And if we don't wanna talk 'bout it?" Samson asked.
"Well, that's your cup of tea...!" The lady muttered as she looked away.
"Girl, you shouldn't blame your man if he cheated on you...he was simply just looking for the satisfaction that 'you' didn't give him elsewhere!" One caucasian lady said.
"Yeah, it's his right...!" Another Jamaican lady said.
All the other ladies present nodded their heads and a few guys
While Samson and his guys just watched as they all shook their heads.
"The fact that you keep yourself before marriage is one golden treasure, that I bet none of you girls get 'round here...!" Temi said as she pointed at each of them.
"Nope, we don't, please, explain!" The Caucasian lady said, with her arms crossed over her chest.
"And while you're at it, don't point at us again...I hate it!" The Jamaican lady said, disgustedly.
"Well, you ain't paying me, so I ain't gon' do what you tellin' me;" Temi muttered as she turned her attention away.
"What did you say?" The Jamaican lady asked.
Slowly turning her attention to the Jamaican lady, Temi slowly asked;
"What did you hear me say?"
The lady fell silent as she looked Temi up and down, and Temi didn't hesitate in doing the same.
After she had won the Jamaican lady, in the 'eye' battle, Temi turned to Ethan and said;
"As two(2) kids, we grew up together, with high hopes for each other that we would end up together and live happily ever after and...move forward together one day as one, but I guess if you want to achieve that with Ethan Price, you would have to give out yourself for that to happen so that you can eventually end up in the garbage area, and I'm not that type!" Temi said tearfully.
Looking at Ethan with tears in her eyes that dared to spill, but didn't, Temi said;
"Even though it wasn't in my programming to accept a relationship proposal at the time that I did, even though you're older than me, with a few months, I still did it...against my parents' will, I did it, thinking that we would end up together and that my childhood crush would patiently wait for me, till when I'm done with school so that we could take over parents' companies' together and live in peace...!"
"I with the brains, and you with the God knows what you hav...Oh My God!" Temi shrieked.
"You'd be twenty in a few months and...!"
Holding her forehead with the tip of her fingers, Temi paced back and forth slowly as she burst out laughing, people were cautious.
"I think, she's lost it...!" One lady whispered to another, who nodded.
Ethan was worried.
"Temi, are you okay?" He asked as he walked towards her.
As he was about to touch her shoulder, Temi shrieked.
"Don't touch me!" She said.
"How could I not have seen it before?" Temi asked no one in particular as she looked at everyone around her.
"How could the two eyes that the Lord had blessed me with, not have seen it? This is exactly what Mum and Dad were talking 'bout last week!" She pointed.
"This is exactly what Mum and Dad, were talking about last week!"
"And dint worry y'all I'm in my right senses...!" She said as she tried to calm everyone's nerves as they were all giving her weirs stares.
Even Samson couldn't help but hope she was okay.
