MISS ROSE.
~1.0 mins read
The night was so cold, yet I felt this uneasy burnt in my chest. In fact my body was literally on fire, the reality of this paradox  hit me, suddenly. Who would have thought that everything would end up this way?

Hmm! Ben! My own Ben! Finally, has called it quit! This nightmare is too much for me to bare but, it was just an innocent conversation, or so it seemed. I had been invited to a get-together, in celebration of my high school anniversary and, I was really excited because I looked forward to seeing my old-time friends.

Ben wasn't so opened to the idea however, I convinced him and assured him that I would come back in one piece.  "Well, if you say so." He said, reluctantly.
              
             "Thanks darling!" I exclaimed.

The next day, I headed for the event and as soon as I arrived at the venue, my heart missed a bit! I saw Tokunbo...my ex boyfriend, he was all grown-up and hmmmm...very handsome. We stared at each other for a while, then he spoke.

"Miss Rose, you look gorgeous. How are you?" Tokunbo asked as he stretched forth his hand for a handshake. I could percieve his strong perfume.
   
At this point, I wasn't sure how to respond. I moved closer and we shook hands.

"Hmmm! Seems like you lost weight." Tokunbo remarked. I did not respond, at that moment.

MISS ROSE.(Part 5)

 I could see the red flag yet, my flesh was weak. I attempted pushing my way through, at least I tried to be firm. "Tokunbo, we are history, it's just quite unfortunate, what happened to me last night. Yes! I lost control, I drank too much. Yes! You had to help me and, I remain grateful. Now, I need to go home." I said.

Tokunbo remained quiet for a while and stared at me.

"Miss Rose, I have not been the same since you left me. I know I was a beast, I was cruel to you but, all that is in the past now. I am a changed man!" He continued to persuade me. I knew I had to leave at that moment.

"Tokunbo, I'm sorry, I have moved on. I have someone in my life, who loves me." I remained persistent but he held on to my hands, firmly and went on his knees with tears, rolling down his cheeks. I was really embarrassed.

"Miss Rose, don't deprive me of this joy I have found. You light up my world, you are my true love. I love you. Who is this guy that has stolen your heart? What's his price? I will pay him, ten times over!" Tokunbo continued to beg me. His words were draining my emotions and it all appeared like a spell had been cast on me. I beckoned on him to stand up but he insisted on kneeling down. Then, I had a rethink.

   "Tokunbo, please just stand up and listen to me." I pleaded. He looked into my eyes in anticipation and eagerly, he stood up. "I am listening." He said.

"I'm not making promises but, I think we can just be friends again." I said, not even sure of what I meant, I guess I was just very desperate for the whole drama to end. Then, like a very excited baby, who had just been given a candy, Tokunbo embraced me. Quickly, I released myself from his firm grip. I just wanted to go home. Through out the entire ride, Tokunbo kept stealing glances at me but, my mind was divided.

I knew I had to face Ben, my fiance and I owed him lots of explanations. Then I spotted a place where I wanted to drop. "Tokunbo, please you can stop me, here. I will find my way home." I requested.

"Okay." Tokunbo replied as he pulled over. Then he bent over and gave me a peck on my cheek. 

"So I will call you."  He said.

"No, I will call you." I replied.

"Okay..no problem. I will be waiting." He said and, quickly I stepped out of the car. Then I called a bike man and after negotiating, he dropped me at home.

Cautiously, I entered the house because I wasn't sure if Ben was home. I had used my spare key to open the door. As soon as I got into the living room, I saw Ben, seated and shaking his legs, restlessly. I recognised that position, whenever he was like that, it only meant he was infuriated. "Good Morning, my love." I said as I moved closer. "Good Morning, please where are you coming from?" Ben inquired.

"em..I..I..was..."
