“Is good to see you too Richard and I’m glad you are with the woman who is better off than me. We both moved on with our lives, there is no room for missing you or even thinking or what we used to have. I have better man now and as you can see I am also engaged and very happy than I have ever being because I did not end up with a man like you. It was all for the best Richard. You got what you wanted and I got what I wanted and I’m glad you called it quit and walked away, If not I would have still be wasting my life away all in the name of some stupid love. Congratulation on your forthcoming wedding, I hope you will enjoy the life you have always wanted with your soul mate. Tell your wife to be that your ex-girlfriend said hi and wish her the best. My man is waiting, so I have to run…take care.

He was at the same spot, standing and looking at me as I walked out to meet Ohio who was with the cashier, paying for the things he picked for my Dad.

He smile as I joined him, I returned the smile.

I helped him with one of the bag as we left. I saw Richard looking at us as we walked pass.

When we got into the car, all Ohio said was “I hope your Dad will love all the things we got for him”

He did not ask me about Richard or showed any sign of care to know. I wish he will ask and I will be willing to tell him but he never did.

He drove back to my place and dropped me off, it was the following day we planned to leave to see my parents.

We have already agreed on a time.

Ohio said he will be back to pick me up the next day.

When I entered my house, i got my few things ready and start counting the hours as I wait for the following day to come.

The truth is I no longer care about anything. Richard and Jojo thought they played me a smart game, they did not see how foolish and confused they are yet.

Jojo came over to my place that evening, I was trying to occupy my mind with something else while waiting till tomorrow when I will see Ohio.

“Babe, you are glowing…what is the secret? What is the latest with you and your “honey”. You have being keeping secrets lately and hardly tell me stuffs again. That is unlike you…come on, fill me in Becca and I really want to meet this “honey”…when will you introduce us? And how about Mr Ohio…. any news from him yet? He is taking forever to come back. I’m so worried and sometime I imagine him kissing me or we are making out. I just can’t wait to finally get close to him. I expect you of all people to understand the plight of a woman when she is inlove…

I was looking into the face of deceit and selfish woman while staring at Jojo with a mischievous smile on my face.

“What if Mr Ohio have a woman in his life already and do not have interest in someone like you?

I asked Jojo with smile.

“Someone like me…how? I’m smart, beautiful, bold and do not hesitate to go for what I want. If I’m giving just few minute to spend with Ohio, he will leave every other woman with him and stick to me. I told you before that I don’t care if he is taken or not all that matters is me and me alone. I will make him leave and if he refuses to leave the woman then we will be having secret affair. Whichever way it works out I just need him close to me. I’m ready to remove whatever obstacle that is delaying our coming together.

I almost said “just like you removed me and hooked with Richard” I was the obstacle on her way and she finally cleared off the way and get exactly what she wanted.

I do want to say so much to her but I kept calm and played along instead.

“I guess Mr Ohio likes you too Jojo, because he used to ask about you. He even said I should extend his greetings to you as he was travelling that day. I know when he comes back he will want to see you. Your beauty trapped him and he is buried in your fantasy, the only thing delaying now is this his business trip which i know will be over soon. You know I used to like him but I saw that he only has eyes on you, so I decided to hands up and let him be. That was before I finally met my honey. So, I don’t even care about Ohio anymore, he is handsome, wealthy and posh. I was seriously crushing on him with many of my colleagues but not again. You are so lucky Jojo for him to pick interest in you. Ladies who are still dying for Mr Ohio will envy your tactics if they see you two together. I’m already getting jealous, you and Ohio makes a fine couple. I can’t wait till when he will propose and you will walk down the aisle with him and start having beautiful children. Your Sugar has not change your car yet…don’t worry Mr Ohio will change not only your car but also your life…

Jojo was enjoying the moment as I wash her empty brain. She was smiling from ear to ear.

“Hmmm Becca, so Mr Ohio really asked of me before he traveled and you are just telling me now? That is not good at all. But is a good sign and I believe everything you said. Oh my God…Becca, I just can’t wait for it to come true. I can’t wait. I still wonder what I’m doing with Sugar. If I know Mr Ohio has shown a good sign towards me I would have dump the idiot of a man who thinks I will marry him. Can you imagine, we recently had a fight? I slapped him and he returned the slap to me. I did not waste time to take my heel shoe and smash his head. The fool did not know who he was dealing with. I don’t take shit. Is all because of the second money he gave me for a wedding gown, I told him my car was bad and I have used the wedding gown money he gave me to fix it. The guy went out on raging spree, talking to me like a child. I couldn’t stand the insult, I landed him double slap and because he was a fool and do not know that he should never raise hand on a woman no matter what, he decided to slap me back. Becca, my face was on fire…my cheek turned red. I slapped him only twice but one of his own was more than three of mine. Ooh, I couldn’t take it Babe, that was how I was looking for a weapon or some object to use on him and when I did not see one I took off my heel shoe, he was trying to dodge but I targeted him right on the fore head and landed it on him. He dares not mess with me next time. I removed the ring and throw it at him before leaving. He came around yesterday to apologies when I told him that I was going to quit the relationship. He had a plaster on the wound I inflicted on him. I know it will serve as a reminder when next he dares try to raise his filthy hands on me. He begged that I should not let him down, that the wedding card is printed, the wedding date is fixed and almost everything is ready, that if I quit now it will be a great shame to him…. he returned back my engagement ring and asked me to forgive him and promise never to raise his hand on me. He said he will get the wedding gown by himself this time to avoid another quarrel. Babe, he looks like a child as he begs me. I forgive him that yesterday but hearing that Ohio is showing interest in me…hahahaha. I will take back the forgiveness I gave to the foolish man. I will use that reason to finally kick Richie…I mean Sugar’s ass goodbye.

I was laughing as Jojo talks about the drama between her and her so called sugar.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

If it was before, I could have gotten angry that Jojo will do such to her man but right now all I did was to laugh and cheer at her.

Now I understand where Richard got his wound from.

Jojo was happy after I washed her head with more of Ohio’s love soap, she left and begged me to keep her updated on Mr Ohio.

I laughed so hard at her foolishness. I am enjoying this game. She and Richard are two confused people who do not know exactly what they want. While Jojo is dealing with Richard, I will be dealing with her by myself with the name she has come to love most. Ohio.

The following day, Ohio came in time and waited in his car before I joined him. He has not entered my house before. This is the third time he will be coming to my place to pick me and will always remain in his car.

I greeted him cheerfully and thanked him again for agreeing to do this with me.

He gave me a smile in return as we proceed into the high way.

My Dad called and I told him that we are on our way already. He even informed me that Melinda’s fiance was also coming to spend the weekend and it will be a full house.

He said all of us can also visit the resort beach and there will be another fire work.

My Dad sound so exciting over the phone and I can hear my Mom and Melinda’s voice shouting that they are waiting to meet the man in my life.

Everyone seem to be excited, I was also happy.

When I looked up at Ohio, He was smiling as usual as he focused and kept driving while I give him direction on the turnings to make.

I told Ohio about the Resort beach and that my parents’ are looking forward to having us all.

“Is going to be an exciting weekend. A good time to unwind because I hardly have time for it this days, only when I travel out. I look forward to meeting your family Becca. Do you trust me Becca?

He suddenly asked and I told him that I do trust him, he looked over at me and returned his eyes to the road.

Anytime he looks at me this way, a sudden chill pass down my spine. It feels so good and I wish all this are all real but I will savor every moment with him and make it count.

Jojo is living in a world of fake fantasy because Mr Ohio will never want her but I will make her feel he does.

Jojo’s game is very simple to play but the most interesting game of all time is the one I’m presently in with Ohio.

Everything happening between us looks and feel so real and there is more fun to look out for this weekend.

My parents were anxiously waiting for us as we drove into the compound. Melinda was with them, everyone was looking out for the new man in my life who I’m probably going to be getting married to.

What they don’t know is that Ohio is on a hired mission and once the whole drama is over, we will all return to our normal lives.

“Hello Dad…Mom. Please meet Ohio. My…fiance! I said with a full smile on my face as I introduce my parents to my fake fiance.

“Ohio…. please meet my loving parents”. I turned to Ohio as he shakes hand with my Dad and a simple hug for my Mom and Melinda.

Melinda too was introduced to him.
