Bound Forever

I ignored the Excruciating pain on my foot and ran as fast as I could. ” Get her! Do not let her escape” a guy said among the men on suit said.

I ran so fast, till I got to the main entrance of the road, where I could get a cab. Luckily for me a cab passed by me and dropped a passenger. ” Taxi, please hold on” I ran breathing heavy behind the cab. As soon as he saw me from his front mirror he, moved back a little to where I was. “Please –take me to Samtom city”’ I said trying to catch my breath. “Okay, 50 pounds” he said.

I couldn’t wait to argue price with him, I hopped in immediately. ” Driver let’s go, I will pay” I tapped at his seat from behind, as I still tried turning my head backwards to see if the men where coming. The driver turned on the car immediately. I sighed out deeply ” Ah Daniella you just escaped your death scene” I was patting heavily.

After calming myself down, the thought of Jane flashed down. As I was about calling her phone. My phone rang, vibrating on my shaking hands. The call ID says ” Jane Love”. ” Hey, I was about calling you” I was still struggling with my breathe.

” Oh baby, how did it go?” Jane asked. “I can’t tell babe, I got the moaning sound of Juliana and Danovo having sex, I couldn’t do more before I was noticed by him. Gosh I was scared to death, I had to run for my life” I said, my heartbeat gradually returning to normal.

”Oh my goodness, how did he notice you? C’mon babe give me full details of everything” she asked. I started explaining from how I met the young guy to the point a lizard jumped on my skin. ” What the fuck babe, that is so risky!” She screamed on the phone, I shifted my ear from the phone speaker the voice could damage my ear drum.

” I know babe. But I had to, dad is already taking too long there!”’ “Phew, yeah honey. I’m sorry. Thank goodness you escaped out of there safely” she said. “Yes I’m lucky I did successfully” . ” Would that sound be enough evidence?” She asked. ” You had just a record of their sex scene? I don’t think that is enough but at least we have something.” she said.

” What if they deny it?” I asked in tension. “hmm-m that’s true, babe let’s get a lawyer first” she said. Yeah right, a lawyer would help defend every evidence.” I concluded. ‘How do we get one now?” I questioned. ” Well, leave that to me I will handle that” she said. “Oh thank goodness” I sighed out.” So what’s up? Have you seen Raymond?” I asked eagerly.

” Not really. I just got to his work place” she said. “Oh, just be a good girl and have a light heart in return” I said. “That’s fine baby, I can handle this. ”Hey baby I have to go now’ ‘she said as she was about to enter a coffee shop. “Okay take care, beep me if anything okay?” I said, while she responded and hanged up the phone.

Jane took her seat at the coffee shop, relaxing as she sipped in the hot coffee slowly. She had asked someone to help her inform Raymond that he had a visitor. Raymond works in a company next to the coffee shop. As she was told to wait for him , she took the opportunity to have her favorite coffee, missing it for a day feels she was missing something so crucial to her. It has become part of her routine.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Raymond couldn’t wait for the clock to click twelve on a dot to relief him off the suspense. ” Who could that be? Has my ex come to ask for forgiveness or what? He was unsettled at his point. As soon as the time for break clicked, he stormed out of his office heading to the reception. There could only be two individuals there, an old lady and a young girl on glasses.

Those weren’t familiar to him. ” Shit where is this guy? He had told me someone was looking for me? Obviously my ex” He tried scanning around for the guy.” Whoa was it he just here? Damn it. Or was he playing pranks with me?” Nevertheless he search around more but to no avail he was no where close. ” What a fool” he sneered and look down on his wrist watch.

It is still on their break time ” Let me grab some coffee before its over” he concluded, stepping out of his workplace. Jane was still sipping in her hot coffee gradually, as she enjoy the aroma. She first inhale the scent, then sip a little. Jane finished with a cup and ordered for another, with lot of milk in it.

” Here ma’am” the waitress served her the coffee , but Jane was not paying attention when she was being informed, she felt someone touched her then she swung back hurriedly, making the coffee to fall off from the waitress’s hands and splashing all over her clothe. ” What the fuck!” more to her annoyance, the coffee burnt her skin. “Shit!” she grit her teeth. ” I’m so sorry ma’am” as she was about to insert her hands into her apron, when someone else was already reaching out to her with a white cloth on his right hand.

Jane was stunned by the manly hands below her face, she followed it up and met the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, a smoldering golden eyes. ‘Take this, before it peels off your skin” he said with that manly voice, that gave her chills.” And you, what is wrong with you? Can’t you do your job properly? Have you consider the damage it would cause you?”

Jane was highly surprised, her jaw dropped as she watched Raymond scold the worker. This is the first time he had stood up for her and gave her the support she has always wanted. In college he would always support his ex lover, no matter how the situation is. He shouts at her in public all because of his ex lover.

She hurriedly stood up heading to the bathroom without saying a word, or taking the cloth from Raymond. She rushed into the female bathroom and turned on the water, she started wiping off the coffee stain off her clothes. Thank goodness it wasn’t like the first coffee the stain would have the tough to remove just with water. ” Did Raymond just supported me?” She stood in front of the mirror, thinking of the scenario and her cheek turning faint red colours.

She quickly finished up and walked out of the bathroom, when she came out she was still surprise Raymond was in her table sitting, waiting for her.” Oh let me help you with that” he stood up swiftly to open the seat for her, just when she was about to do it.

” Thank you Raymond, and thanks for earlier” she beamed a smiled on her lips. “Its nothing, you should always be careful. I hope you didn’t get any burnt?” he said, scanning through for any burnt on her fragile skin. “No I didn’t, thanks once again” she said.

” So what are you doing here?” he asked folding his hands into his pocket. “Em- I was waiting for someone” she wasn’t on point. “Oh okay, that’s fine” he nodded.’ ‘ What about you? Is it time for your break already?” She asked. “Sure, but how did you know the time for our break?” he monitored her face.

” Em-” thinking of another lie. ” Like I said, I was waiting for someone that works in the same company as you” she said. ” Ohhh_” he doesn’t seem quite convinced. “yeah” she grin, squeezing her finger ” oh Jane how do we do this?” She battled. “Other some food” he said next breaking the ice.

” Sure, I’m so famished” another lying through her teeth . “Em- Raymond__” she hesitated and squeeze her sweaty palm again.” Jane, I know you want to say a lot. You can start I will listen intently” he said softly. ” Okay” she breathes out. ” Jane calm down wouldn’t you?” She murmured within herself..

” Fine and foremost, I wanna really appreciate you for saving my life” she begin. “I’m really glad you are fine now, you seem so alive and heathy now ‘Yes and all thanks to you” she said. ” Jane_ I know why your are nervous, you don’t need to be” he wiped off the sweat dotted on her forehead.

” Oh my God, he knows I am nervous?” her heart pounds so hard against her chest. “‘ I understood perfectly, that you did what you did for love. But that was not dope at all. Did you see the state you got into because of that??” his voice sounded more concerned than anger. “‘ I know, I’m really sorry” she down casted her eyes and her heartbeat wouldn’t stop the pounding.

” So Raymond did understand?” She sighed deeply as she beamed a little smile. “You are not angry?” she lowered her eyes. ” I was. But not anymore, so can we eat and gist about any other thing?” He said. ” Fuck!” she took another long breathe, so happy that Raymond wasn’t mad at her.

” So since you recovered how has everything been? And yeah how is Daniella doing?” he asked as he munched on the one spoon of salad he stuff into his mouth. ” She is fine, she sent her greetings.”. “That’s good to know.” “Em Jane I have something to ask of you?” Jane was stunned at the tone. ” What could that be?”

” I want to apologized for how I have treated you in college and dumb to the fact that you had feelings for me” he said, crawling his hands to hers on the table. “Huh? No Raymond there is no problem in all that. I am over that now” she said trying to push her hands backwards.

” No Jane, you can only forgive me by accepting my proposal” he caught her hands, and squeeze it into hers. ” Accept proposal? What is that? Or is he getting married and now inviting me to his wedding?” Many thoughts swirling in her head. ” W— What proposal is that?” she muttered. ” I want you to have a dinner with me, accept please?” he said.” I— is it tonight?” she stuttered. ” Yes tonight”

” Em— I’ve been so occupied lately I would think about it” she abruptly take her hands away from his grip. ” Okay__ do let me know your decision before tonight” he said. ” I will take my leave now, the break is almost over. I will allow the person you are waiting for occupy the seat”

Jane raised her head up following him as he stood up, she was speechless and felt stupid for not giving the answer she has always wanted to tell him ” yes!!” then next is jumping and leaping, but she only wasted time. ” It was you, I was waiting for Raymond” she said out after he was out of sight already.
