Thank God it's back

"Ok fine", I simply shrugged. Two hours later and she was still like that, not one word said to and none said to her too.
At intervals, she'd start laughing to something she was watching on her phone and when I'd try to sneak a peek she'd shield it from my view.
If I re-sorted to being childish like her, start seeing some hilarious videos on YouTube it would seem pretty lame that I'm trying to copy her. I needed to be creative in my own pettiness to show her I wasn't the least bit affected by what she was doing.
Trust me, I racked my brain, I tried and tried but nothing was coming. I guess I can't be petty, even if it was to save my life. I'm just matured like that lol.

"Ok, lemme tell you", I gave up. But she acted like she didn't hear me and even laughed to whatever rubbish she was seeing on that rubbish phone. Yes I was pissed now. I snatched the phone from her and ran to her living room and she followed. That was how we ended up chasing each other-- well she was the one doing the chasing-- till we were pretty spent and laid on the floor.

"I had some guys hack your phone", I said after we laid on the floor catching our breath.

"Huh?", she asked.

"Yes. You asked how I knew you were in, that's how I knew. I had it done like a week ago"

She turned to look at me sharply.

"That means even the times I told him to....you knew?", she asked to which I nodded.

"Then why...why didn't you...

"Because I felt you wanted some space and I gave it to you but I couldn't just help myself today, I just had to see you".

She hugged me suddenly and started crying again, but this time softly.

" I'm sorry", she said.

I hugged her back and chuckled lightly.

" It's all good babe, you've already apologized", I said.

" No no, it's not it. I still feel.... I feel I don't deserve you", she cried.

"No no babe, not this again. Look I love you and that's all that matters. It's you and you alone. The past doesn't matter again, just now. Only now matters", I said as I kissed the top of her head.

It wasn't alright at all that she still felt this way. I know guilt can be a very strong emotion but it's also a bad one. This can lead to a state of paranoia which would be really bad for our relationship. For instance, how she started avoiding me, anticipatory action taken because she'd already believed there's now way I wouldn't give in to my mum's will of being with her.

"Look babe, it's going to be all right. Just don't work yourself up for nothing, yh", I said as I pecked her lips.

"Here help me choose a house from these ones", I handed her phone so she'd make a choice. Maybe this would distract her a little from everything.

" House....why are you looking for a house?", she asked curiously.

"Uh, nothing much, just feel it's time to get a place of my own, place for us", I said. She nodded slowly as if realizing something.

"You mean a place I'd feel more welcomed since your parents would be back soon and Mum hates me?", she asked smiling.

Here we go again.

"No it's not like that", I started but she gave me a face and I knew I had to adjust my words abit.

"Ok a little like that, but my Mum doesn't hate you. She's just still abit hurt coupled with the stress. of my Dad's illness but now things are settling, I'm sure she'd come around when I tell her we're seeing each other again", I reassured.

"Wait, she doesn't even know we're back together?", Fola asked shocked. The worried kind of shocked.

I grimaced at how I let that one slip.

"Uh yeah, she doesn't know now, which is a good thing actually", I cut that last part in quickly.
" because then I'd have time to tell her how sorry you're for everything and how you've been of great help to me lately first before I now tell her we're dating again", I vomited the first nonsense that came to my head. Luckily it seemed to calm her down abit. Girls, you just don't know when it comes to them.

"That seems fair, but are you certain about this?", she asked, the worry not missing even once, in her countenance.

"I'm not uncertain babe, I'm sure she'd come around. She's not some evil mother-in law ", I replied, adding a joke to ease everything.

"Ok",she shrugged. " I go for this one", she said picking one of the luxury houses on my phone.

" I knew it", I smiled. "Our minds are one and that's why I've already bought it", I beamed. But she didn't.

"What if I didn't pick this particular one", she asked squinting her eyes at me.

" Duhhh, I know you very well", I scoffed trying to sound confident while avoiding her mirroring gaze fixated on me.

"You bought all of them, right?", She asked this time still pin pointing me with her gaze.

" Sue me, I'm rich", I said smiling with my hands up in mock surrender.

"Cocky bastard", she said smiling as she snuggled closer to me.

"You know you love me", I replied as I placed a kiss on the nape of her neck.

"Yeah I do", she whispered as she slept off in my arms on the floor of her living room....TBC

Dibz's POV

" So how did you know I was actually at home when the receptionist told you I wasn't", Fola asked as she came out of the bathroom in her sexy nightie. I looked up from my phone to fully behold the flawless art that was mine as she climbed the bed to join me.

"Do you even need to ask?", I smirked but yelled out in pain as she bit my hand .

"Ouch, what was that for?", I asked , quickly rubbing the spot she bit. She just gave me a smug smile in response.

"Will you answer my question now?", she asked smiling. I winced in pain as I blew breeze on the spot deciding that just rubbing it gently won't cut it.

"You know I can just rub chicken poo on this bite and tomorrow morning you'd loose all teeth", I said trying to scare her with some silly myth I heard when I was a kid.

"Lame", she said with a bored expression on her face. "You know what, keep the answer to my question to yourself. Not interested anymore".

I smiled at the her childish attempt to guilt trip me into telling her. She doesn't know she's dealing with yet.

"Ok, fine", I simply shrugged.
