Married to my nemesis-Chapter 172: Sleeping

"Really, mine is like a sleeping pill," he restated her words as he looked at her with a jester gaze, just as she saw that he was concentrated on her, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Common, don’t say that it isn’t a sleeping pill. Is your story is boring then the listeners will have the tendency of sleeping. Just like some parts of the Bible could be boring. I remember going to Church some days or when I was quite young and the teacher’s ask to read some parts of the Bible. Some places are quite interesting but as for the places that have no interest, the Bible would be on my bed and then i would fall asleep. "

" I didn’t expect to be compared to the Bible, " Vixen remarked once again.

" You know, within someone’s life,, there are places that gives moral lessons, their are places that push us up and then they are just some part of our life that makes it interesting and at the same time, so damn boring. "

" Hmm, you’re right about that, " he said as he nodded a bit.

" Okay, common, you’re going to tell me, I’m not the one who’s going to do all the talking. "

" So about my life, well there’s just the daily life. You get to school and then you have friends. "

" That can’t be the whole story, you liar, you must have something that made your life full of spicy experience. Something that seasoned it. Maybe like been the captain of the football team, or your were this highschool lover. Oh , I meant college lover. "

" Well I was the captain of the football team maybe the male crush of the college, " Vixen stated guiltily as he scratched his head.

" Oh wow, so you had some adventures in your life. Common, tell me, how many girls did you have that coax you? "

Vixen stopped with a frown on his face.

" Coax me? "

" Well yes of cause, every guys would have some girls around him. I’ve never gotten into that level but you must have that, " she said as she continued walking.

" Can I say I was just the ordinary guy at school—" he stated clearly disturbed that she must want to know his entire story.

She stopped and then turned to him with a smile.

" You have to understand that it’s just a school story, it isn’t that big, you know what, I have this feeling that that must be the place that you must have met Arthur’s mother. "

" Actually, that’s not where I met her, " he said in a calm tone.

Abi inwardly chastised herself for forgetting that he could have felt offended with the fact that she mentioned her.

"Oh," she said as she nodded.

"I’m sorry, I came up with that topic and I know that you don’t —"

"You don’t have to say that, after all, I owe you, I got your story so you must know mine. Actually, when I was at school I had to double the job I did and eventually, this job lead me to create the empire that I have. It took me a while but because I met someone special in my life, I made it to where I am now."

"Wow, so what type of job were you doing?" She said with curiosity written all over her face as Vixen simply chuckled and then she shook his head. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Trust me, you don’t want to know what I did."

"Seriously, I want to know what you did."

"Curiosity killed the cat after all," he murmured.

" What do you mean? "

" Common, if you hear the story, I’m sure that it would make the matter really terrible. "

" Don’t tell me that is that horrible, you’re just trying to hide something from me. "

" What would I be trying to hide away from you, I’m been sincere, I’ve been doing the job that I could find. "

" Okay, okay, if the job is too embarrassing for you then I don’t want to hear the horrible job of yours but to be frank, in my head I’ve thought of you cleaning toilets of people, " she said in a teasing tone and then immediately escaped before Vixen could make a reaction.

She chuckled as she reached for the front railings of the bridge they on.

She turned around to see Vixen come for her as she laughed, she knew that she couldn’t escape even if there was opportunity to move away, she stood there couldn’t hold her laughter as Vixen unexpectedly locked her in-between his arms as he graped the railings, just when he was up close, Abi couldn’t help but laugh as she begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay please pardon me, I just thought that since you didn’t want to tell me then I could create something that wasn’t that horrible," she clustered her words with laughter.

Just as Vixen watched her in like a slow movie, he couldn’t help but glue his gaze on her.

He hadn’t noticing it but it seems the heavens was reflecting it to tell him that he was missing such an opportunity.

The cloud of the night gave way for the moon as the reflection of the ray of light laid on Abi’s figure.

Her gentle and cheerful gaze that reminded him of Prudence but then, this was all different.

Her facial expression truly feminine and at the same time made her look like a diva, no makeup done but then he couldn’t help but adore her natural beauty.

Yes, she was beautiful and there was all to respect from.

Her milky skin glittering like that of the ocean with stars laid above it and then it sparkles at midnight occasions.

This was nothing to be compared, her smile, with those red plump lips of hers that could allure an individual for a kiss.

Her gentle tongue, laying in it’s position but because of her reaction, it has to come out of it’s hiding according to the demand of her senses.

Probably to taste and forever not forgetful.

And not to forget, those white teeth’s of hers, sparkling like that of the diamond, probably could worth a lot his his tongue had the opportunity to get a taste of how they were.

She was more than enough, pleasing admirable and spectacular.

That’s enough, he told himself inwardly he couldn’t think about something like this about Abi, she was a wonderful girl and truth be told whether or not she looked like Prudence, the truth was clear.

She wasn’t her and she definitely deserved someone better in her life, and that man couldn’t be her, what could he do for her that was going to satisfy her?

A grumpy old man who’s heart couldn’t be derived from the memories of his late wife, and here he was behaving like a selfish one desiring what wasn’t his.

For crying out sake, it was like he needed six reasons that would make it clear that she wasn’t into him.

She was only here as per their contract and for his son, after all this, she was going to go away with her money. "Vixen? Vixen?" Her vague voice slowly became louder retracting him from his thoughts.

"Wh—what happened?" He stuttered as Abi placed a frown on her face.

"For a minute, I think you were lost. Were you thinking of something that I think I should know? Is it about been late at night? Are you worried about Arthur peradventure?"

"No, no, is not about that, I just thought that you looked so good compared to last night. You were at a devasting state last night and now you seem fine. "

" Well, I can’t say that I was complete in a devasting state, after all we still had a lot of games last night, and don’t you remember, the event only happened till something around this time. "

" It’s my fault, Abi, I made everything that had happened to me and I know that it must have worried you a lot, " he murmured as Abi shook her head raising her hand to touch the perplexed Vixen.

She gently placed her hand on his cheeks making him a bit relieved.

" You know what Vixen, I just want to tell you something —" she tried to say but he had his head lowered in guilt.

"Please look at me, Vixen," she said in a calm tone as he obliged to her.

Just as his gaze met her, he saw concern within her eyes.

"There’s nothing you can change about what happened last night and the other nights that you’ve been aggressive towards me. You only behaved like that because you felt hurt, and I should have understood, I should have known that I was trying to rekindle a close wound. Maybe then you wouldn’t have made any of that happened. But no matter what you try now, you can’t fix the past, all you just have to do at the moment is look for the solution and try to be better. Besides, even if I wasn’t able to understand you before, one thing I’ve learnt about you is that you love Arthur very much, and you will try your best to protect the people you love, so you wouldn’t try to see Arthur hurt. So maybe then you were just placing your guard up. "
