The home phone rang out so loud she put her hand angrily on it, it was the delivery guy he was asking her to confirm the order.
"I thought you at my door stupid," Libya said angrily on the phone, the delivery guy softly told her he had to confirm her order because it kind of mixed up and he was close to her cabin.
"Number six, eight, and nine is that all you couldn't remember" he apologized on the phone assuring her he will be there in fifteen minutes, she hung up.
"Who eats KFC as breakfast I'm just trying to survive-
She didn't finish talking when the phone rang again.
"Jesus I will kill you if you goddamn tell me you forgot again" as she picked up the phone her face contouring into some angry bird,
"Hey, mother I'm sorry I thought it was the delivery guy-
"Delivery guy"? Her mom awkwardly repeated after her, and she explained to her the reason she thinks so.
"I have been busy with work why didn't you tell me before jetting off I was worried," her mom asked, Libya said she texted her and even dropped a note.
"I saw Abraham who the hell is Abraham," she asked reminding her the signature on the letter states Abraham.
"Yes because that's going to be my name and that of my kids-
"No way" her mom teasing interrupted Libya and heard her gasp on her end of the phone.
"Yes way mom I told you I was going to somehow it worked he's just like a puppy I have him wrapped around my fingers"
"I thought it's a joke I mean how did she look, the expression on her face-
Libya's mom meant Mrs. Amika,
Jade did not answer quickly she doesn't need to lie to impress her mom one step at a time.
"For now I'm locked in here he said with time-
"And you have him wrapped around your finger how are you gonna convinced me lee" her mom sharply cut in reminding her she doesn't have it under control like she thought she does.
"Listen, mom, I got this, a car is coming in I will talk to you later," her mom told her to keep her updated on everything she quickly hang up rushing to the front door, jade and Clinton together she punch the wall angrily her bones crack from the force she used.
She went back to the bedroom to lie down like she was still fast asleep, Clinton open the door for jade she looked around the place look old fashion, however, is cozy. Clinton called for Libya Rusher no response, she asked jade to sit down and feel at home he will go fetch her.
"Libya Rusher!!!" He called her no response he pushed the door open there she is lying like she was fast asleep.
"Stop it I saw you from the window spying on us I know this house better than you, and your food is here" she opened her eyes take off the duvet.
"You got me" she walked to him and poked him striding away, she giggle at jade who was fidgeting with her fingers, she checked her order if is complete they don't have to forget the salad. She found it.
"My garden salads!!!" She excitedly said clapping her hands together, jade smirked can she be more dramatic other than this?
"We all need to talk" Clinton cut in sitting opposite jade and beside Libya who made crunchy noise from the food she was chewing.
"You might want to eat that slowly" Clinton suggested,
"Why do we need to talk I mean you left yesterday and by— she glanced at her watch and then at jade whose entire focus is on her she smiles but jade did not smile back.
"How was the sex" she snapped out of the actual question Clinton and jade look very surprised. Jade was shocked wisely because their entire plan was to play along and get married next week seems like she is pretty fast!!!
"Don't be, don't be do not act surprised we are all adults plus since she decide to ruin the contract I'm thankful for that how on earth will Clinton accept to sign a million deal with a trash-like you". Jade did not respond to that she kept calm Clinton asked Libya to keep quiet she has nothing to do with the deal, first of all, she wasn't even there between him and jade.
"Ah ah ah" she points her finger at jade and Clinton repeatedly,
"I'm going to be your wife five days from now well I wanted a low key wedding with just you and I plus the priest things have to take a U-turn our wedding is taking place with 20 guests plus my mom you and she 23, of course, she's invited" Clinton at the time doesn't know what to say jade as well haven't said a word since she comes in.
"How is that low-key Libya what if the picture gets leaked online I'm not going to jeopardize my life-
The room became so intense jade walked out angrily Clinton ran after her she was getting in the car, Clinton tried to calm her nerves but she pushed him away.
"What was that Clinton, you told her everything" Clinton look shocked if is about the sex he didn't say a word to anyone technically he won't,
"She would run us out if I didn't, hey listen trust me I have this under control" jade shook her head negatively why is she the only one who likes the victim he's a victim as well,
"I'm sick of you telling me to always calm down there is nothing to calm about she's is crazy, you know what thank you for ruining my life, and pls drive me home-
"You two don't have to fight yet I still don't have a choice of wedding dress I wanna pick I mean I have been shopping all day," she said out loud even the frogs heard her, Clinton tried to make jade understand why he showed her the contract she doesn't want to come to an understanding.
"I wanna go home Clinton pls take me home" jade punched the car, Clinton checked if she was hurt but she slapped his hand away, he had to take her home. On their way home Clinton tried to explain she refused to listen last night was beautiful seeing her getting upset to hurt me, on one hand, he wish he never showed Libya.
Libya laughed loudly still having her food in her hand, on the other hand, Clinton in the car jade wasn't arguing anymore, she sat in the passenger seat all quiet she felt like crying reminding herself all she does is cry she was only like this when she was sixteen years old all she always do is take action, Clinton drove out to jade place all through the one hour drive jade didn't say anything her head place to the window Clinton try to say everything in the world but she didn't respond,
As soon as they got home jade hurriedly walked to her house Clinton rushed after her if he wasn't fast enough she'd locked him outside.
"Things aren't going to work out perfectly if we keep me fighting, the reason she is doing all this is to make us fight and split-
"What in hell Clinton what exactly in the hell are you talking about did you see how she spoke so confidently-
"Why are you sounding like is all my fault, you ruined everything plus I'm trying my best to fix it I don't care if my mom knows I wanna be with you" jade suck her teeth rising from the couch she sat formerly, well she always blames Clinton yes it is her fault thanks to him for reminding him as they do in TRUNTS about how much she hates her job.
"Then you marry Libya what happened to us-
"I'm not gonna marry her I don't even love her" jade didn't look relieved, she is going to lose everything, and God forbid she's going back to the slums, Clinton might be okay with everything, yes making sure he fixes it what about what they signed.
"I will make sure she doesn't talk to the lawyer, trust me on this-
"You have to marry her Clinton you have to because if you don't your dreams will be held I know you've got your own money but you need to make your mom happy, we will go ahead with the acting just go get married to someone you're going spend the rest of your life with and not me I am only interested in my money," she said walking to the bedroom just like she always do whenever kelvin pisses her off like her bedroom always have the solution to all the problems.
"You don't mean any of that, we love each other" jade slams the door real hard Clinton instead sat down helplessly, what's his solution not to marry Libya and get ruined by her, not only is he going to look like a liar his mom will never believe or trust him ever she doesn't take betrayal slightly, how would good homes react to the news well, of course, she will sell him out to all the top blogs in the world not only will he go viral for deceit jade life will be completely a mess the world will calm her names gold-digging is far from it in years to come he wonder if she will be able to survive the trolls and not fall into depression.
He sighs thinking about all these, she's right to get married to Libya and continue with the facade after six months or less everyone goes on with their respective life, somehow settling the vendetta between them even if his mom wouldn't be able to handle it at least she can tolerate them rather the world seeing his dirty laundry which is attached to her, which one is better!!!!
####
Jade must have taken the cannabis that fall out of Clinton's pants when he spent the night in her room, she did not mean anything she said earlier she can't let him marry someone else she can't live with the knowledge of it seeing the man of his dream love his life with some other woman, she never took cannabis before no matter how depressed or hurt she must have felt that day but today to take off all this BS from her chest she needed it, Clinton had told her he smokes to stay high more of the time because things don't get to him if he wasn't then everything hit him so hard he feels the world will end any seconds.
She checked the time it was a ready night how come she slept for hours without realizing it, she feels very hungry feeling like to eat the entire food in her fridge is that how effective cannabis is in making someone hella hungry and horny at the same time, she stepped out of her room Clinton was gone but he left a note.
Baby!!!
I know we are both mad I love you and I still do, I'm not blaming you for anything whatever happen was a mistake.
I think you're right about what you said I'm off to get married to Libya my heart remains with you!!!!
Clinton xoxo
She stashed it into the trash and opened the fridge thank god the Brie leftovers were still intact she put it in the microwave sitting on one of her kitchen stools for her food to warm up, she kept on using the fact the money was more important than Clinton even though he was the one more important if she is to choose Clinton will be her choice rather than a million dollars she will make that if she has the opportunity just time!!!
Condoling herself the microwave dings she offed the switch still high from the cannabis well she wonders why she didn't cry perhaps the cannabis is what is it no wonder kelvin smokes it all time she ate like she hasn't eaten in weeks, she heard her doorbell rings three times is either Clinton or Brie and she wasn't in the moods to see either of them.
The bell rung again she groans from her couch television playing hot shit new cardi b, Kanye, and Lil dark music video that just dropped she place the bowl of food on the table something she never does is eat in a bowl, she opens up it was her lawyer she hurriedly cleans her lips hoping she doesn't smell like cannabis girls were usually judge when it comes to this than guys making sure she was keeping up with her sanity not like she always does it is just a one-time thing and that's going to be the last why would he choose today as the day to show up and what must have gone wrong that he couldn't text her.
