Intimacy

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 24

Rosanna’s POV

I received a call from CB’s manager asking me to step out of the gate.

I put on my flip flop and went outside the gate wondering why he had asked me to come out.

I came out to see a red car parked outside there.

He won down the glass of the car and beckoned on me to get in. I stared into the back sit to be sure CB isn’t there.

When I’d confirmed it, I got in.

“Um..is there something wrong? Why do you ask to see me?” I questioned him.

“Can you fasten your sit belt? I need to show you something” he asked and I reluctantly did.

Then he started the car and drove into the streets.

Soon he was on the highway.

“Mike, where are you taking me to?” I asked after the long silence between us.

“Like I said, I need to show you something” he replied simply and continued driving.

The drive took us hours and he continued driving which made me a bit confused and uncomfortable.

Where the hell is he going? I thought but tried relaxing my mind.

Night ia fastls approaching and still he didn’t stop, it was as if he was going to the next country.

He continued driving until he got to a bridge. He stopped driving and then came out of the car.

“Come out, we’re here” he urged.

“Huh, here? On a bridge?” I shrieked but got down anyways.

He went to a side and stood there. I followed after him and stood beside him.

“What is here to look at Mike? You wanna show me the ocean?” I questioned getting annoyed.

“The following day after the night Charlie forced himself on you. He came here” he started.

“He did? But why?” I found myself asking.

“He came here to commit sucide” he replied.

“To what? C..commit sucide?” I faced him and shrieked.

“Yes” he replied and faced me back.

“He wanted to end the pains he felt, he just wanted to kill himself without thinking, he didn’t even think of his family, he didn’t think of his little daughter, the only person he thought of was you and since he was sure you hated him to the core, he decided to kill himself and end it all” he continued and my mouth fell open.

“That is how much he loved and still loves you. He is even ready to die.”

“After he met you that day at the elevator, after that encounter he couldn’t get his mind off you, he asked me to search you up and I did. Then, you were still contesting for the foodie chef contest. I won’t tell you the amount I had to give them for them to make you the winner, tho you were still gonna emerge the winner, you have all the right tools but still we had to make sure you come out as the winner and luckily you did.”

“He continued asking you out but you kept rejecting him. You know better that he didn’t mean to do what he did that night, you are the first person he has ever loved, the first lady.”

“You are the first lady he has ever forced himself on too. Have you ever wondered? If Charlie was just after your body, after that night wouldn’t he have stopped coming to plead with you, but he came to you again yesterday didn’t he but you didn’t even let him talk.”

“That shows that number one, he is deeply in love with you and really wants you. Number two, he is so much regretting what he did.”

“Do you know that he is supposed to be releasing an album this month? But its all got cancelled, even his daughter, he is supposed to write a song for her but I’m not sure that, that is even in his mind again. You are just the only person occupying his mind.”

“I don’t want to sound selfish or too commanding. I know you also have your reasons for doing all these, I know you are the one that lost your virginity in a painful way but don’t you think you should start thinking about forgiving him?”

“Don’t you think you should at least give him a chance to prove himself to you? Give Ria a chance too, she keeps disturbing Charlie for a mother, don’t you think it’s high time to play that role?

“Why don’t you just give him a chance? Help him know happiness. Help him to know the real definition of happiness because he hasn’t known what that means since the first day you rejected him.”

“Don’t let him give up. Don’t let him waste himself this way, you are the only one that can bring the real him back. Only you.”

“So please Rosanna, for God’s sake, just forgive and attend Ria’s birthday.”

“He has always been playful with things, help him know how to grow up, help his daughter know the feeling of having a mom please. If not for him, just do it for the little girl.”

“She’s lovely and will love you, I bet. So please Rosanna, please help him” he concluded leaving me speechless.
