Vince heard the way she grunted out as she took a few steps backwards, Her ears were red with rage. "Stay there!" She snapped.
Vince wanted to know if she was a lunatic the way she was behaving. "What the hell is wrong with you? Do you expect the whole neighbourhood to hear our discussion?"
Sidney could see his face becoming red with rage, Having no choice she also vented out her rage.
"Exactly the point, when you come close to me, my head keeps hearing noises, this is the nearest we can get to each other, so please stay away from me for God's sake."
Without a warning, she just flagged down a taxi and left. 'My God, this is becoming very frustrating, "Lord, I hope You see I am trying, but she is so stubborn and headstrong, I am getting fed-up so if it's okay do something so we won't have to cross each other path.'
Watching the taxi drive away, Vince took out his phone "So, this is how it's going to play?" He calls her number as he follows the cab.
"What do you want now?" Unable to believe how calm she was now, 'If I tell anyone how she misbehaved a few minutes ago they will never believe me.'
Responding calmly, "So, you know it is me?"
Vince heard her chuckle, liking the way it sounded, before she said, "Do I look that stupid to you?"
Smiling to himself at least she figured it out, before he said, "Look, try putting yourself in my shoes, so please we have to talk, we have to meet."
Vince shifts the phone slightly away from his ear, "Mr Montgomery, try and get what I am saying, every time you get close to me, I hear bells ringing in my head. We cannot communicate near each other, isn't that wonderful news?"
"Mr Montgomery, the truth is we are no match for each other, so just tell your grandfather this marriage is off, that's all, can't you do a simple task like that?"
Vince felt his head throbbing as he massaged his temple, 'Lord, why is she so unreasonable? Why is it we are not reaching natural grounds?"
Having no choice he said, "I suppose you could do a better job than I, so you Miss Bells can go and tell your mom that there's a change of plan and you don't want to marry me. And all my problems will be solved, it is as simple as that because just like you, I don't want to get married and disrupt my life?"
Vince heard her sighing and knew she was even angrier, when she did respond after a few seconds her tone of voice was in a more controlled manner.
"Are you blind, haven't you seen how sick my Mom was today, by the way, what were you doing by my house?"
Vince thought for a moment before replying with confidence, "I came to let you know that the wedding was on, that's all."
Vince listened to her groan before she said, "Look, I am sorry, but it is not going to happen and I cannot break that news to my mom, your grandfather is the person who started this foolishness, so let him know I don't want to marry you?"
Vince took a deep breath calming his nerves, "Okay my dear, I hear what you are saying and now I want you to hear me out, I would appreciate it very much if you would go to a jewel shop and give your finger measurement, so I can buy you a ring and I don't want to hear any more complains or excuse. If you disagree and have a problem then you can tell your mom, I, on the other hand, love my grandfather, so I will go along with his wishes."
"Look Mister, you might feel I am complaining but I don't wear jewels, I get breakouts on my skin, you could think what you like, I just don't care a hoot."
Raising his hand above his head, he becomes desperate and aggrieved, "Can you just tell me, why is it everything has to be a problem with you, from the moment we met you had a problem shouting at me?"
Sidney knew that she tried everything to dissuade him, she was so tired of his attitude, "Okay, buy one if you wish, I don't care it's just that I won't be wearing it; you can use your pinky finger as a measurement, it is as simple as that."
Seeing her phone switch off, Vince shouted, "How rude, they all have this bossy way about them, women like them could drive a good man crazy."
Angry with her behaviour mumbling to himself as he drives, 'Her mom said she is soft-spoken. I am sure her mom has no idea what she was speaking about. Because she has two sides and she has been concealing her bad side from her family.
But soft-spoken is not one of her attributes and qualities. One thing I have observed very clearly though, from our very first meeting, she loves to be in control and give orders. Oh God, where did GP meet her? I am beginning to hate her already."
Parking in front of the jewel shop recalling the ring he got for Chrystal still in the car pocket. Vince was convinced in his heart that it will just remind him of her rejection, so swapping it is the most suitable way of getting rid of it.
Taking it out from the car pocket he slips it into his pinky finger, seeing it was slack. "Good, this is better than I expected, now I can easily say it's too big."
Putting it into his jacket pocket, before entering the jewel store. Vince thought 'Sidney could be right, she is slimmer than Chrystal, so my pinky finger measurement should be the right size but how will she select a ring for me?" She has not asked or said anything, which could mean only one thing, she must be still thinking this wedding will be cancelled.'
Hearing Robin says, "Hi Vince, I see you are back."
Without hesitating Vince said, "Yes Robin, I have a minor problem with the ring I bought last month, it is a bit too big."
"That's impossible, Vince, the measurement you gave me is this exact size."
