Her countenance had changed and Gael could see that she was hurt by what he had said. The deal was to make her fall in love and not to get her to hate him so he thought of consisting her and explaining herself but it was late for that as Yvonne's heart was pounding in her chest.
"You dared to tell me that I am jealous but of what and for what you girlfriend?. I admit I do not have a man but that doesn't make me a lesser person, not someone who can not be happy alone. Just because of you, I have encountered two serious problems just because they think you are flirting with me", she stopped and took some fresh air.
" Flirting? is that how you see me?", Gael asked hurt in his feelings because he knows he is not that good of a person but Yvonne affirms what she had just said bringing down his ego as a man and adding that, men like him so that just to get the attention of ladies and later lure them into their bedrooms to have a taste of them.
He could not bear the insults anymore, so not wanting to say or do something that might hurt her, he whirled his back and began walking away from her. But Yvonne not being able to drive with her swollen leg, struggled to step out of the car, while making her way to him.
Losing her stamina, she fell to the ground and hurt her other leg too. Referring to Gael as a "stranger" simply because she did not know his name, Gael was so mad that he could not respond to her. She had struggled to call him but the hunger that she was feeling joined with the pain, had made her start feeling weak.
Not being able to withstand all of it, she passed out on the road. It was a deserted road that led to her house as she was living in a residential area filled with a lot of beautiful trees with big shades. Gael had walked for some minutes, and he could not listen to her calling out his name again.
Feeling happy that she had finally learned to keep her mouth shut, his spirit could not help but worry about her, because there was something that was attracting him to her like a magnet.
"Yvonne!", he exclaimed at the sight of her sleeping on the ground unconscious. His whole body trembled like a duck that was beaten by the rain. He rushed to her and brought her head up calling out her name.
Feeling her weak body on him, Warren could not think properly and did not get her address as he was mainly following the instructions on how to get to her building.
" Oh God, what do I do with her now?", he asked. Immediately, an idea came into his head and he was to take her to his house instead. But thinking out loud like a mad lesson on the road, he knew it was going to put his task in harm's way.
Taking Yvonne to the car, he called Tasha's phone but she was not picking up as her phone was on the divan where she was sitting while she went to get something upstairs.
"Pick up Tasha, I need your help now", he mumbled but she was not still taking her phone. With a confused gaze at Yvonne, he started the car and made a turn in the direction of his house. She was still unconscious but looked beautiful in her sleep.
" Gael humiliated me in front of everyone and even slapped me, I can't still wake up from this slumber that I am inside", Lisa held her hair in disgust. The video had gone viral and as she walked in the neighborhood, everyone was just looking at her in a very funny way.
Not being able to explain why they were all staring at her like that, she started with her aggressive nature asking them what they were looking at and laughing. At that point, she listened to someone calling her name from behind and she turned almost at the same time.
"Lisa, what happened at the beach, and why did Gael slap you?", one asked and the other bombarding her question, asked who the lady Gael was defending was. Hazy about their multiple questions, she wondered how they came to know about what had happened to her at the beach.
" I don't understand what you girls are saying", her lips moved with her gaze looking at the ground.
"Liar, you know perfectly what we are saying but you just don't want to admit won't Lisa", Leah brushed it on her face.
" We knew that tour relationship with Gael was bad but we had no idea that it was that bad Lisa", Lucy added. She was feeling all small while the embarrassment that had covered her up was nothing she could ever forget.
Everyone seemed to be looking at their phone and pointing at her. She had always wanted fame but not in such an embarrassing way.
"Lisa, say something why are you so quiet, I thought you told us that you had Gael in your palms and that no one could ever be able to take him away from you?", Lucy's word added to Leah's, and Lisa could not take it anymore.
" I still have him in my palms you know and what happened was a misunderstanding", she yelled at both of them holding her tears from showing. Leah took up her phone, she played the video to Lisa, who could no longer keep up with the slashes that were on her eyes. Letting out a deep sigh, she ran away in shame as she could not take the stigma anymore.
Gael's mother sat on the veranda and lifted her head at the sound of a car that was approaching her yard, she could catch a glimpse of a car driving in. Stunned and confused at the same time, she could not make out who it was that had driven into her terrace. Looking closely, she stood up walking slowly towards the entrance.
