“I will Naseer, he’s a nice guy and very protective of you. He didn’t do anything wrong here.”
“Okay, you do you, as long as he never puts his hands on you again.”
“Am sure, he wouldn’t again. Though I think GET should be released on those other men with no boundaries no Rilwan.”
“I already sent a message to kick Jay Stuckley, out of the club, for approaching you. Rest assured you won’t receive any more text.” My mouth opens to say something, but no words come out. Yes, the guy was annoying. His hands felt like a creepy critter crawling on my skin and he refused to listen to my request to stop touching me, guess I now know why. I was the fresh face and body to be on the platter and they all wanted a taste, he was the bold one, but his boldness was more of an assault.
“Are you sure that’s the right move, I don’t want to have an enemy out there this early in the real world. I already had one in Rhanaz high school, though it was amateur, it still wasn’t pretty.” I remain quiet not speaking, my mind spiraling with the thought of someone blocking my prospect.
“Stop thinking about them, Jade.” I look at him and weirdly, I know he has my back.
“Fine.” I put on leggings and one of Naseer’s T-shirts then headed to Rilwan.
“I need to call Raheem.” I hear Naseer say as I leave the room. I found Rilwan watching a basketball game, with Radek the driver also a trained bodyguard.
“Rilwan.”
“Ms Bankole. Do you need something,” he asks, getting to his feet. This is the moment of truth.
“No, I came to apologize to you for Naseer’s behavior, it wasn’t your fault. He just made me so mad. I would never hurt him though. I would never put a knife to his neck, just thought I mention that.”
“I understand. You don’t need to apologize.”
“I do, I know you guys are friends and very close and I don’t want to be the reason your relationship is soured. Once again, I apologize for his behavior. Please accept my apology.”
“Apology accepted, Ms Bankole.”
“Thank you and good night” I smile.
“Good night, Ms Bankole,” he says smiling back.
I returned to the room, to find Naseer in sweatpants lying on the bed. I may have forgiven him, but I haven’t forgotten. “I know nothing I say will ease the hurt tonight. I was looking forward to us having a lovely night because earlier you told me you love me, but I guess all that has happened has ruined my plans, I still selfishly want to be with you, can we watch one of your movies.” I nod and climb into bed next to him.
Yes, I’d voiced my love for him earlier tonight and I saw how excited he looked but I’m still upset he would take me to such a gathering. Only one other woman has a gold bracelet, and they all marvel at the fact I have two. I don’t know how to respond because it is all new to me.
Now I understand the reason they kept asking how and why I had two gold bracelets. The lady May told me Naseer hadn’t shown up in a while, and this was the first time he had come with a woman. Which means in the past he came alone and left with a woman. I know he’s annoyingly possessive of me, but I can’t understand why he would take me there tonight doesn’t make any sense.
“Which movie do you want to watch?” he asks. Interrupting my thought
“I’ll pick, maybe watch one of my thrillers.”
“Okay.” He gravels, I’ve just decided on his least favorite. I could punish him a little.
I fell asleep before the movie was over. I wake to Naseer’s arms wrapped around me. I managed to unwrap myself from his hold. I walk away without kissing his body like I normally do. I didn’t unpack the items I stuffed in my bag last night. I showered and got ready.
“I see you haven’t forgiven me.” He says to me when he comes out to find me on my laptop, I don’t respond yes or no.
“What can I say to make us right Jade?” He looks contrite, the hurt is still bleeding on the carpet. We are not good right now.
“I’m hurt Naseer, it’s going to take some time.”
“I know, just don’t let this come between us.” I simply nod.This is already between us.
NASEER
Jadeisquietaswe head out and I don’t like it. She didn’t kiss my scar this morning which is a first. I upset her a lot more than I realized. Rilwan is smiling as he opens the door for her, she responds to him with a quiet good morning and a smile. I get a bland face. I know she went to speak with him yesterday. I’m still angry he put his hands on her. He had her wrapped in his body, tightly yesterday and multiple times his hands brushed her breast. The image played in my head repeatedly after she slept. No man is allowed to touch my woman. Unless he is saving her life otherwise, he should never put his hand on her.
Rilwan and I are going to speak again, he’s never to touch Jade. I spent the flight reviewing some of the documents I received this morning from the meeting last night. Jade is quiet, just looking out the window. I don’t like this at all, the right thing to do is to give her time, unfortunately, it’s time I don’t have, wanting time caused my poor judgement yesterday. My buried doubt begins to rare its ugly head. What if she sees this as the time for her to start dating someone close in age to her? I mentally shake my head, Jade won’t, she loves me. I remind myself.
