Chapter Twenty Four
Tracy
Sam came with full energy today, his unreal stories cracked me up, I wonder how on God's green earth
he comes up with those stories.
"Are you for real? That's why the tortoise doesn't have any hair?."
"I'm telling you, Tracy, it was those damn porridge." He said leaning back
"Please, give me a break, why would it put hot porridge in its cap?"
"I told you before, it was being greedy."
"Ah, I get it, okay that's enough," I said laughing some more.
"You've been taking a lot of days off, I hope you are good."
"I'm fine, I was given days off by my boss."
"Okay then, do you want to know why I was taking strawberry that day?" He asked shocking me at how
he changed the topic so fast
"Of course, I would... " I couldn't conclude the sentence, I was so shocked to see Alex at the door, I
was even more shocked to see him walking towards our table.
"Oh, it's Mr. Johnson," Sam said right before Alex stopped by our table
"There is an emergency." He said holding my hands
"An emergency?" I asked standing up
"Yes, an emergency." He said trying to lead me outside but I removed my hand from his
"Sam, I'd see you next time," I told Sam and he nodded then waved, I waved back then I followed Alex.
We got inside his office and he sat down at his table but he didn't say anything.
"What is the emergency?" I asked moving to his side
"I am the emergency." He said turning his chair to face me
"What?"
"Tracy, I don't like the fact that you kept meeting Sam, it kept pissing me off I felt like I was going to
blow or something, so you see? It's an emergency." He said grinning
"Wait, you came downstairs and disturbed my lunch because you were jealous?."
"I never said I was jealous."
"Alex!" I yelled startling him
"What?"
"What is your problem, you've been acting weird all day and now you are disturbing my personal life,
please I never disturbed your personal life and I'd appreciate it if you don't disturb mine."
"You are my wife! Damn it, Tracy, you are my wife and I don't like the fact that you are accepting
another guy's lunch invite especially when you've not forgiven me." He said annoyed, I wanted to tell
him to bring the divorce papers let's sign it, I wanted to threaten him with that, but what if I say that and
he gets the divorce papers, then I'd be forced to sign it and they will be the issue of custody.
"You are crazy," I said turning to leave his office but he pulled me and I fell into his laps.
"I know, but you are the one driving me crazy so you know better." He said before his lips met mine, he
kissed me like he was trying to pass a message, whatever the message was I got it.
It got pretty intense, so intense that I only realized my shirt was unbuttoned when he stopped, he
unbuttoned just two buttons, but then I didn't notice
I looked up to see him grinning and I got down from his legs so fast that one would have thought some
kind of needle pricked me, I turned away from him and buttoned my shirt, I tried to fix my hair, that was
when I realized the hairband was gone from my hair, I turned to face him and he was still grinning,
holding up the hairband.
"I like it when you let your hair down." He said standing, I snatched my hairband from him then I
repacked my hair, I turned to leave again but he stopped me
"I'm not sure you want to leave like that, I don't mind if you do but I'm not sure you'll like that."
"Why?"
"You look... Um, you look kissed, you are blushing, your lips are slightly swollen...."
"That's enough thank you," I said sitting down in front of his table.
We spent the rest of the day sorting and going through documents, I signed out at exactly 4 pm.
"Why are you following me?" I asked Alex as we turned into the parking lot
"My car is here too." He replied and o shook my head
"Whatever."
"Where are you going from here?"
"Somewhere."
"Somewhere?"
"Yes somewhere."
I didn't want to tell Alex that I'm going to pick the kids from Cole's house, I'm afraid he would want to go
with me, and if he does there is a high chance Cole would see him, I don't know what might happen
after if he does.
We said our goodbyes and I left, I drove to Cole's place to pick the twins.
"Hello, Tiana," I said when she opened the door.
"Tracy, how are they doing?, How was work?" She asked and I smiled
"Work was fine," I said entering
"Mummy!" My kids called and I hugged them
"Aunty Tracy" Charles and Williams called and I hugged them too
"How was school?"
"Fine thank you." They all replied, Tiana pulled me and I followed her wondering why.
"So your kids were telling me how they had fun at one Dee's place on Saturday, they said they even
slept over, so who is Dee?" Tiana asked and I began to panic.
"You look flushed, look at you, you are even blushing, come on tell me who is Dee?" She asked again
"Rose, I'd tell you who he is later, I promise, but not right now, it is kind of complicated."
"Hmm, tell me as soon as possible okay?"
"Okay, ma'am."
I packed the kid's bag and Tiana helped me carry some as she walked us outside, my brother was
back but before I could greet him I realized he was looking at someone, I followed his eyes and I was
shocked to see Alex.
Before I could prevent it, my brother rushed towards Alex punching him right in the face.
