Crazy Wife
Chapter Thirty (B)
Memories
💖💖
The door bell rings and i hurry to answer.
"Browns residence?"a man asked.
"Yes?"I said and he handed me a paper.
"Sign this please?"I took a look at the man and then the paper as I signed
Then he handed a pack of wine to me with a small wrapped bag too.
"Thanks"I said and closed the door. I look closely at the package. It was an alcoholic drink. What was Barry doing with this?
Well there were some alcoholic drinks in the bar too but the percentage isn't as much as this. This was way too high.
And what was in the bag too?
I drop the drink on the table to check what was in the bag
"Violet?"I heard behind me. I turned to look at him and pointed the bag to him
"You have a package.."
He rolled his eyes
"Really..what is in there?"he asked opening the bag slightly
"Was just about to check"
"Oh ok then..hand over the drinks"he said as I carried it and gave it to him
"What do you need all this for"I ask with a frown
"Oh. This? A friend sent it to me. He's having a Surprise party..so I get to keep this"
"OK"I said and move back to my room in silence
Still not in talking mood with Barry.
He did not go to work today.
Neither did I go to school
I missed school and i really missed Jade. After our kiss. We've not seen each other. Only chats and few calls which I refuse to keep
Ella told me he has stopped coming to school cos his school resumed too.
But I guess if I was at school. He would come once in a while
Just a one and half year and I'm done with school. I would look for a job..far away. I might not go with my mum. She would sell me more
But I really need to find out what was really wrong with mum.
It's baffling to see her cry
And Barry..he has not been friendly today. He just kept a stern face..not really stern. But he had not been playful like yesterday.
He was looking too serious. He wore a smile when he greeted me this morning but it didn't last. Where was that playful Barry today.
I'm even starting to miss him.

***
I had come downstairs to wash the dirty plates I used for my cornflakes and other miscellaneous I ate.
Barry was also in kitchen
I ignored him. He was slicing some onions. I move to the Zinc and open the tap.
There was silence between us
Unusual silence between us
"Ella called this morning"he broke the silence
"Oh."I mumbled. Ella Just wanna make deal about this. Why can't she call my number?
"She expect you to resume school on Monday"
"I expect you to resume work on Monday too"I said
He stopped slicing and I turn back to look at him. I raised my brows at him and he chuckled
"Thanks for caring"he said going back go what he was slicing
"I'm not caring... I am just tired of seeing your face at home"
"Oh really.."
"Yeah"
"You don't want to see this handsome face?"this time he was already where I was. Close to where I was washing plate. I dropped my plate and face him
"You are not that handsome you know.."
"Victor always told me I'm handsome"
"Psst.. Victor sucks at fashion..he's bad at commending someone"
"Well then..you also told me I'm handsome"
"Ew. When was that?"
"The video. The one you made for me on my birthday"
"I thought I spoilt that system.."
"I repaired it"
"The video was all a lie okay..get this right..I don't and would never admire you..the video was just something..it was rubbish one of my fantasy and lust.."
"Well at least I'm handsome enough for you to lust on.."
"I.. you.."I tried to argue but failed
"Give me a chance..."he said quietly staring into my eyes. His eyes with so much love and i wish what I see in his eyes was what I'll receive.
"I messed up. I made you fall hard for me. I played with your feelings. I really feel guilty. I was supposed to pull you close and let's enjoy this marriage. But I only toyed with your feelings..just a chance to make things right"
"Barry..you love Jennifer"
"I'm not denying that I don't..."
"Then just stick with her"
"And leave you all alone?"
"Are you're getting back together with me because you PITY? Me?"
"No. I'm getting back with you because I love you.."
"Barry you don't..this is pity"
"No it's not..it's realization..I've been sort useless when you were not around. I don't wanna go back to being useless. Just stay and let's start all over again"
His words moved me. I stare into his eyes
Say yes Vee. Let's start this all over again. Get married and pull him closer
"Barry.."
He lock lips with me and i pause. He has said it all. We are definitely coming back to gether
"Violet?"I heard. I jerk. I open my eyes as I stare at Barry. He was looking at me with worried eyes
"You have been staring at me since and you claim I'm not handsome"he gave a smirk
I've been staring at him ?
I thought we kissed
"What are you thinking? My face got you thinking?"he asked
"No..i..just"
Wait. I was dreaming?
Shit!
"Your face is not as handsome.."I walk out of the kitchen.
I feel him following me behind.
I can't believe I thought we kissed.
"Can we just be friends all over again and just forget this attitude of yours Violet"
"I'm not giving attitude Barry..I am the attitude"
"Don't say you didn't miss me..our fun..our kiss.."
"Shut up"
"We could watch Teen wolf together..i promise to cuddle you"
"Aww.. No!"
"I could make you more food Violet?"
"I can cook too"
"Okay..we could cook together then"
"Hmmn."
"Let's just be friends all over again"
"So I would fall for you all over again and you'll tell me you love Jenny?"
"I've gotten over Jenny"he mumbled
"You love her"
"I thought I did"
"What do you do about Jennifer..leave her heart broken"
"She actually moved on too...it turns out she didn't like me"
"Is that why you are coming back? Seriously Barry."
"No..i discovered I actually liked you more.. Jennifer has just always been my childhood friend and she was always on my mind and I thought you didn't really like me too..and you were just playing around till we get a divorce.."
"'Ssshhh'"I pause him. I wasn't going to get emotional in front of him. He should just stop talking
"I never played around with you" I failed. My voice croaked as I said it "I never played around. I did all I did because i fell for you..kissed you..hold you..lie I had a dream to sleep in your room..clean the wall just to see you dress..make you forget your good on purpose to bring it to work for you..knot your tie.. everything I did was because I loved you"
"And if I didnt love you..would i have kissed you back, would I have made you knot my tie..would I have cuddle you when you came to my room.. wouldn't I have send you away the day you cane to my office..I was just so ignorant to realize it..if you don't accept to be that Violet I loved then I'll just continue drinking and smoking"
"You don't smoke.."
"Of course I do...after you left!"
"Are you.."
"The package you saw this morning..who do you think it was for.. i order that everyday.."
"Barry..are you insane"
"Jenny rejected me and i don't want you to either"
"Why won't I reject you also..you are coming back to me because Jennifer rejected you"
He bit his lip
"Maybe.."he said and walk out.
He was looking depressed
This isn't right.
Barry doesn't drink or smoke.
Jenny rejected him.
Why the hell did she do that and turn Barry like this.
And what am I now...
The solution to his problem?
He's back with me because Jenny rejected him
I'm now a compensation.
So he wouldn't be alone?
So he wouldn't lose two people at a time.
No I won't take it
I can't be a compensation.
He doesn't love me
He just wants to bribe me  in staying by using g sweet words.
Never..i refuse to fall
**
Flash back of memories brought me I to this king about Barry back. Should I really get back with him
Even with the fact that Jenny rejected him
He must be very depressed
Very unhappy
Very said.
He was gonna lost two girls at the same time
Should I really go back to him.
Should we really forget all this and be the best couple like R&B.
But he didn't love me
He's only back because if Jenny
If Jenny hadn't rejected him. He might not have come back.
Might?
But what if he actually discovers jus feelings for me and when Jenny hurt him, he was happy he got my back
Was I breaking his heart more and more
Memories of him still stuck i. My brain.

WAS IT WHEN HE ANNOYED ME
