“What the fuck does that mean?” He shrugs.
“Go and get her here, kidnap her if you have to, but fucking get her here!” I shouted. I’m seriously losing my shit.
About forty minutes later, Jade storms through the door. Wearing a black boat neck, above knee length dress with three-quarter sleeves. The dress hugs all her curves. She has a wedge heel ankle boot. Her braided hair is pulled into a ponytail. She has make-up on with drop earrings. Who did she go on a date with looking like this? The guy probably had his hands all over her. I know I would.
“What is your oversized problem, mighty Prince Naseer?” she snickers “You haven’t answered my calls for weeks, I left multiple messages with your PA, and you don’t respond. You then disconnected my phone line. Did you expect that I’d be crying, wallowing in self-pity, or making bubble wishes, for you to come and go as you so damn please? Rilwan harassed my date, why!?” She’s upset, good because I’m upset too. She dares to tell me I didn’t call her when all I did was call her.
“Am glad Rilwan harassed your date, if he has any sense, he won’t come any close to you again. All I did was call you and you didn’t respond. Why for the love of mankind would I disconnect your line and keep calling the same line?” I return the same intensity of anger. Crowding her space, inhaling her floral lavender scent, my body awakens to her scent.Down boy, first we need to eliminate poachers.
“You don’t get to decide who I date Naseer, and I didn’t get any calls from you. My phone just stopped working and the phone company told me the line was disconnected, by you,” she shouts, pointing a finger at me and moving out of my space.What did she just say?
“What do you mean you didn’t get any call from me? I asked Rita to call you several times and she said she couldn’t get a hold of you.”
“Your PA is a liar.” She snickers. “I called her at least three times a day when my call to your direct line would not go through. She made me spell my name each time I called.
“J for Jane, A for Apple, D for Daughter, E for Elephant. J.A.D.E My last name is spelled B for Boy, A for Apple, N for Nancy, K for kite, O for orange, L for Larry, and E for Elephant.
Jade Bankole. I did that each time I called asking for you and told her to please have you call me back. You never did. After the fifth day I just gave up calling and went about my life, so tell me again why Rilwan has the right to harass my date?”
I’m shocked by what she has just said, all my anger washes away.
“I’m sorry, Jade. I didn’t get any calls from you. Rita lied to me and I’m about to find out why. Please use your phone and call her again.” She doesn’t respond, just continues her defiant stance. “Please, Jade.” I plead. I command men in business, yet Jade makes me beg.
“Fine,” she snaps and dials. Rita answers and I watch Jade recite her name all over again, requesting I call her. She hangs up after the exchange. “What now?” I put my finger to my lip telling her to be quiet and call Rita putting my call on speaker.
“Hi Rita, any luck getting Ms Bankole?”
“No, Your Highness. Same thing. I haven’t heard from her, and I can’t get through to her phone.”
“Okay.” I hung up.
“As you can see, my PA has been playing us. Why? I don’t know but I’ll find out.”
“It didn’t come from me, so, can I go now.”
“No, Jade, you can’t go, I haven’t seen you or talked to you in three weeks, and while I was going crazy trying to reach you. You were busy hanging out with a college boy” I respond sneering.
“So,” she stresses the word. “I’m supposed to sit around and wait for you always because you are Prince Naseer. Sorry, no, can do!” arms folded and eyes rolling, she has certainly grown.
“Not because I’m Prince Naseer, because I am Naseer, and we have something special.” She looks away.
“Who was the guy, Jade?”
“My course mate, we both made the dean’s list and decided to go to the party together.”
“Anything I should know about this guy that’s hanging out with my woman?”
“Nothing, he’s just a friend and he has a girlfriend. Are you always going to act jealous and possessive? I just told you I made the dean’s list, but the guy is all you hear.”
“Yes, I’m allowed to be jealous when it comes to you, and congratulations on making the dean’s list. I did not doubt in my mind that you would, and I unabashedly admit that I’m possessive.”
“Thanks, but you and I won’t work if you don’t trust me or act like a caveman all the time,” she states.
“I trust you, but I don’t trust the guys that use friendship as a way to get close to you.”I intend to be a caveman where you are concerned.
“Whatever Naseer. I have an early morning class; I do need to leave.”
“You are spending the night with me and leaving in the morning, first you have to give me your new number.” She doesn’t move, she’s deliberating giving me her number.
