MEMOIRS OF A HEARTBROKEN LOVER PART 2

As I sobbed I heard my door open and she walked in. I was sitting on my bed with my head bowed down so she couldn't see my teary face.

"Baby" she called softly.

Without a word I raised up my eyes to meet with hers, she noticed the not too dry tear paths on my face and also, my blue face.

"Baby" she called again, this time with a serious stint in her voice.

"Have you been crying?" She asked.

I searched her temporary concerned face and with a voice that barely sounded like myself I asked too;

"Did you just call me that?"

"Call you what?"

"Baby"

She couldn't reply. I continued.

"Are you seriously calling me baby, or you just want me to feel everything is fine?" She ignored my question and rather asked "why are you crying?"

She was at it again, deviating from issues and making me feel as though I was overreacting; as though she wasn't doing anything and I was just reading meaning into everything, and hurting myself. I looked at her, I saw a different person. Someone I couldn't read, a stranger! Certainly, my woman was gone.

I gathered myself together and probed;

"What have I done? Did I offend you? Or you have found someone else?" My last question seemed to have stirred a string in her. She made a face as if to say something but checked herself, I saw her drop her gaze.

"Talk to me please, let me know what went wrong!" I pleaded.

"Nothing went wrong, please don't work yourself up. Everything's gonna be fine trust me" she said reassuringly placing her hand on my arm and squeezing gently.

She went on "See, I have been under pressure lately. I just can't tell you yet, but give me sometime let me sort myself out and everything will be back to normal" she ended with a smile.

"You promise?"

"I promise" that smile again.

I sighed, and just as I was about to believe all hope was not lost, and I was back on a journey to normalcy the devil appeared! Her phone rang, she looked at it and ignored it. The phone rang again and this time she couldn't hold back so she picked. Behold she called the person "Baby!"

The word sent a shock through my whole being, and as I looked straight into her eyes, she spoke softly into the mouthpiece "Please am somewhere now, I will see you at home on my way back" she hung up!
