The sacrifice.

Chapter 16

Everything kept moving smoothly, business is fine, I urged him to open up something for me he refused, he wants to shoulder everything himself. Lately things are different, I always catch me stealing glances at me, he smile more to me, always starts up conversation. With the things happening, my hope have rise, I feel like his feelings for me is now more than mutual.
So today I dressed up nicely, my stomach is now visible, am proud of it, I heard nothing from Paul or my parents, not that I care. So today I dressed up nicely with a nicely prepared food to go and give my man. All my hope and happiness was torn to pieces when I saw all the girls fawning all over him.
"What's going on here" I said, with anger, my reasoning have left me, he was surprise seeing me, a girl the one that had her arms on him smirked at me.
"Tonia" he called and I turned to him, I couldn't read his facial expression.
"They're customers" he said, customers doesn't swing their arms like that. The same girl scoffed, I hate her guts, and since I got pregnant I easily get annoyed, so with the annoyance her gut sparked I moved and slapped her. It shocked everybody in the store. She then raised her hand to slap me back but Peter held her back.
I felt proud but the feeling was short lived as Peter turned at me,
"Leave" he said with a face I never knew he had. It send shivers down my spine, I lost all hope, I realise once again am just something that makes his boring life interesting, I turned and staggered back home.

        I was so shocked I didn't cry when I reached home, I just sat on the bed with blank face, I have no right to be angry, he have done a lot for me, but I am angry, I feel stupid for thinking his stolen glances and smile means something.
After a while, I stood and composed myself, I busied myself with fixing dinner, I pushed everything behind my mind, am even the one that said he should date then why am I angry. I wasn't thinking when I cut myself with the knife as I was slick onions. I hurried and tied it up, I should've applied kerosene but that might leave it taste on the food, besides the cut wasn't deep.
I waited after am done with the dinner, I made up my mind to apologize for my absurd behavior. I hope he will no longer be mad when he get back. I waited, my heart soar high as I watch the door open, he walked in and our eyes met, he twisted his lips to the side, its one of his character and its cute. I mentally smacked myself to forget his cuteness and apologize. I then stood up and walked up to him.
"Am sorry for my behavior today" I said, he just stared blankly at me.
"I know I said I said you should date so am sorry for my behavior" I said, he came closer.
"Do you love me" he asked, my eye widened, I never told him how I feel, now he asked what should I say, which guy asks a girl this question outright, how then will I answer. Now I feel what its like to be in a hot seat. He looks at me expectantly.
