This sight of her really touched him. Her crying
state. She looked like an innocent child and an
angel whenever she wept. This was what he always
fell for. It wasn’t working this time, he wouldn’t
fall for it. Lifting himself up from the swivel
chair, he found his way to where she stood. He
took her in his arms.
“Will you stop crying?” he asked, almost pleading.
“Please, come back to me. I can’t live without
you.”
He released her and looked her in the eye. “Its
not possible. We’re not meant to be. I really do
care for you. I don’t see myself marrying you. Its
not like I didn’t try, I did, but it was getting
nowhere. It was gonna end anyway,” he calmly
explained.
“If its the fights you’re talking about it happens
in every relationship. I’ll change, I’ll be better.”
“No, Tricia. There’s no going back. Lets move on.”
“Its easy for you to say because you already have
this fiancee of yours. Do you love her? Is she
great in bed, like I am?”
Her unexpected question really shocked Jeremy.
Was he in love with Purity? He didn’t know for
sure, but he had started developing feelings for
her. If she was great in bed, he had no answer to
that. She’s supposed to be. She’s very pretty and
had a lovely body, why shouldn’t she?
“Tricia, I don’t know if I love her. I think I’ll get
to love her-”
She cut him off. “So why can’t you get to love me?
I bet she’s no better than me. We made great
love. We’re- we’re so good together. Come on.”
His eyes darkened. “Don’t talk about her like that.
She’s pure, a virgin.”
Tricia stilled for some seconds, then cackled with
laughter. “She’s so not your type! You knew the
women you slept with weren’t virgins.”
“You knew I was cheating!”
“Of course, I knew. It pained me a lot. But what
could I have done? The love I feel for you is so
strong that I agreed to let you have them, but
you’ll always return to me and my bed.”
“That’s not love, Tricia. If its love, you wouldn’t
want any woman to touch me.”
“That’s my definition of love!” she retorted. “If
its the s-x you want with her cuz I know you’ve
never slept with a virgin before, do it and I’d be
waiting for you.”
“I am not sleeping with her till I marry her. I
have changed and want her as my wife. I really
do respect and admire her for her innocence. I’m
not going to take innocence and dump her, no.”
“You really didn’t value me. I hate you. You
cheated on me with several different women on
different occasions and I didn’t complain. I felt
every man must cheat. Little did I know I was
deceiving myself. You’ll pay for this, Jeremy.”
He shot her an angry look. “How am I to know
that you didn’t cheat as well?”
She gravely glared at him. “You’re a b-----d!”
Grabbing her purse and other stuff from the
desk, she snarled at him, “You messed with the
wrong woman! I’m now a love-lorn. I’m gonna
deal with you and that so-called virgin of yours.”
Something snapped within Jeremy. “Get out of
here! I never wanna set my eyes on you, ever
again.”
“We’ll see.” She started walking towards the door.
When she got there, she regained her composure.
She looked at him over her shoulder. He was
watching her with eyes, dark with anger and
possibly hatred. She smirked. “Jeremy Broderick, I
love you. I have made up my mind not to share
you with another woman. This is your last chance.
If I can’t have you, no other woman will.” she
concluded and proudly paraded herself out of the
office, slamming the door behind her.
Jeremy collapsed on a chair, the one Tricia had
sat on. “Holy s--t!” he swore violently. “I regret
the day I met that where. I curse the day I
agreed to date her. Woe to the day I slept with
her. D--n!” he raked his hand through his hair.
