CHOICELESS; I wish I am me

Leo stood up at the sight of Angela. His eyes were red with desire. He had never seen a beautiful damsel like the one standing in front of him. "Good afternoon sir," Angela greeted Leo. After giving her parents a peck on their cheeks. "Good afternoon, beautiful," Leo replied. "Angela, meet Leo, the Mayor's son I told you about. Leo, meet Angela, my daughter." Her dad introduced the duo to each other. "Nice to meet you, Leo," Angela spoke out, bringing forth her right hand for a shake. "My pleasure, beautiful one," Leo replied as he landed a warm kiss on the back of her palm. Aside from Edwin, Leo is the second guy Angela had ever referred to as handsome. She never knew Leo was a handsome young man; until that day. He was tall, fair-skinned just like her. He was slim and hairy too. But despite all, his looks were nothing compared to that of Edwin. To Angela, Edwin was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Handsome? Maybe that was an understatement. He was beautiful. Every g

Angela didn't utter a word. She feared he might run them into an accident.Leo regretted his actions. "I'm sorry for yelling." He said remorsefully."I understand," Angela replied, tittering. She feared saying anything that could erupt that fierce part of him again.A few minutes later, they arrived at Angela's house. Angela suggested he pulled over at their threshold gate, instead of driving her in; so that he could drive back to his house on time. She didn't want him to visit her parents. She feared he might tell on her about Edwin's call.Leo decided not to wake a sleeping dog. The last thing on his mind was to permit the repetition of what had happened earlier.He came down from his car and hastened his steps towards the front door. He opened the door for her to step out, giving her a kiss on her forehead and a peck subsequently. Did I forget to mention that he gave her a warm embrace too?The reek from his perfume was seductive. Any girl would long for a man wearing such perfume.

"Good morning my love, how was your night?" He greeted, exhaling a wide yawn. "Good morning babe, my night was fascinating. She replied. He smiled on hearing much from her, looking straight into her eyes. Angela lowered her jaw immediately; she didn't have the audacity to look him in the eyes. "You seem to be troubled, what's wrong?" He asked. Drawing closer to her, he continued; "Or are you not happy about what happened last night? "No, it's not that," she uttered; shaking her head. "Then what? Talk to me, babe." He demanded, raising her chin with his palm, forcing her to look him in the eyes. His eyes searched hers aimlessly. He could see the nervousness in it. "Talk to me babe, I'm always here for you". He said assuredly. Angela could feel the curiosity radiating out of his tone. Seeing that he wasn't giving up, she decided to break the ice. She sat upright, resting her back on the bedhead. Her jaw clenched, and her eyes were bloodshot; she blinked repeatedly, fighting th

Immediately, two security men walked in."This is him, take him out of my office!" Edwin ordered."Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me!" Leo scolded as the security men tried dragging him out. They stopped suddenly, at his scold."Then be a gentleman, and walk out," Edwin responded.Leo's fist was clenched, and his brows were furrowed. Edwin could see the fire in his intense eye contact."This isn't over yet," he said in a cold voice. Moving closer to Edwin, he continued; "this drum you've beaten, get ready to dance to its tune." He threatened in what seemed to be a whisper."You are too vocalized, just like a woman. Real men don't do the talking, they perform the actions." Edwin replied.As Leo turned to leave, he added; "But note; no matter what you do, you can never end up with Angela. We belong to each other and there is nothing you can do about it. Just like the two faces of a coin, we can never be separated. Get that into your head."Leo turned immediately and snickered

He dipped the ID card back into his pocket, and smirked."Get ready for me, Edwin." He said as he left.Entering his car, he dialed the mobile number on the card, as it rang."Hello, am I unto Nurse Abigail Etiko?" He asked, staring at the card before him, to confirm if he had called the name rightly."Yes, I'm Nurse Abigail. Please who is speaking?" She asked."I'm Leo, the guy you offered to help get her girl from Edwin at the hospital." He explained."Oh.. The rich pride fellow." She recalled."So have you accepted to work with me then?" She asked."If I haven't, I wouldn't have called." He replied."I can see you haven't changed a bit." She responded."Well, you can meet me at Hard Rock Cafe tommorow by 2pm." She added."Tomorrow? Why not later this evening?" He suggested."My schedule is occupied already. I don't have any free time today. You can as well forget about it, if you aren't going to wait till then." She uttered."Fine…! You win. Tomorrow then by 2pm. 2pm it is, no excu
