Melinda spoke in her defense.

“Anyway, all that matters is that Jojo was beaten. Since me and Becca are in one team… I can as well claim the victory to myself….

We all laughed. I introduced Ohio to Joe and watch they shake hands like buddies.

Ohio wanted to take me to meet Lili but the evening was already taken with our drama. We decided to reschedule to next weekend.

Ohio asked us to quickly tidy so that we can hang out somewhere and cool off the day stress.

He invited all of us to his place the next day. He also has a pool where we can chill out.

I and Melinda left the men outside, we went inside to tidy and clean up the mess we made before joining them again to the cool spot.

All Melinda kept talking was the beating she gave to Jojo and if not that Joe came to pulled her away she would have dealt with Jojo.

We had and an evening of smiles and laughter while hanging out as if we are all from one family.

Sunday came and we were over at Ohio’s house.

It was indeed a nice place to chill out.

It felt like I was in another world when I walked into his place.

He has a cook, gardner who also cleanse the compound, including the swimming pool.

His domestic staffs look well and cultured. If I happen to meet them outside the house I will mistake them for a high class workers.

He showed us round and asked us to feel at home.

Joe was over at his mini bar, situated close to the big dinning hall.

I took a lone steps to the basement and stood there, looking out into the big compound and to the swimming pool.

Melinda and Cole who came around were out at the pool side with a Chapman in hand, sitting at the edge of the pool, dangling their feet in the water while relaxing and sipping their drinks. They look like new lovers as they talk quietly, fall on each others body and laugh like children.

I smile as I watch them from the glass basement house which was above the building.

I could have joined them but I was too shy to be on a swimming suit.

Melinda has a slender, fine toned body but I’m neither slim nor fat.

I’m just in between the two. people will say I’m chubby but maybe they are confused on where exactly to place my shape or they are worried I will take offense if they call me fat.

I don’t mind where they decided to place me, be it slim or fat. I’m comfortable in my skin and shape. I’m also curvey which gives me an edge.

I’m not too tall, unlike Melinda who got the height.

This is where another confusion cripped in. My height 6. 4. they say is an average height. Is very funny how everything about me is not in perfect order. I’m neither slim nor fat, neither tall nor short. I’m Just in between everything.

Even my life is neither fair nor harsh. Sometimes good things happen and another time bad things happen. My life is not close to perfect but is far from worst.

After yesterday drama with JoJo, I can’t specifically say if Ohio was happy or not.

He acted well and laugh along with everyone but whenever he looks at me all i see is disappointment in his eyes. Or could it be my mind set?

I did not know that JoJo was responsible for me and Frankie’s separation. Back then, I couldn’t figure out why Frankie suddenly changed towards me . His attitude of a different person and later told me he can’t continue with the relationship anymore. He broke up with me because of lies that JoJo told him about me and even set me up just to achieve her selfish and wicked aim.

It was after Frankie I met Richard thinking he was my last bustop but he got tired of me with more spicy lies from JoJo and ended the relationship.

JoJo came after Ohio and couldn’t succeed she went straight to Silas who I don’t care what he does with his life.

JoJo chewed more than she can swallowed and deserves the beating she got from me if not more.

Ohio probably thinks otherwise because he made it clear to me that he hates drama and when we talked during our Friday night at my place, he said one of the reasons he loves me is because I’m reserved and calm. I do things moderately and not out of proportion.

He said even my dressing, my make up and other activities are in order. It may not be perfect all the time and he is okay with that.

He asked me what I love about him and I gladly poured it out.

But seeing my violent side with JoJo may have Ohio thinking otherwise.

He was mad at me during my fight with Melinda at the resort Beach and wanted me to learn how to control my emotions.

He obviously do not like seeing violent women, is probably the reason why I feel he is acting cold around me.

Even after he dropped me off at my place last night, he did not have much to say and never bother to come inside.

He did not give me a goodnight kiss just a cheek peck which was better than nothing.

Melinda and Joe drove back to my dad’s house leaving me and Ohio yesterday and it was as if they shouldn’t have gone.

Ohio coldness got me worried and I wonder what exactly he is thinking.

I wish I can read his mind to know what he has in there.

He was downstairs with my brother Joe, at the mini bar, watching a soccer game with their drinks.

He has forgotten that I even exist. Thinking about him now makes me sad.

Instead of feeling pity all alone here, it will be better I join Melinda and Cole at the pool.

I decided to wait for sometime and watch the couple before leaving.

Melinda was on a bikini, Cole was on a short with singlet.

Melinda dived into the water, she was a good swimmer, after sometime she resurface out from the water.

She asked Cole to join her but he was comfortable sitting by the side and watching her swim.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
