My Heart Still Beats For You
Episode 4
John had called me to come to his apartment for a dinner. Driving down the lonely streets to his house, the thoughts of how John almost died on me a month ago made chills run through my body.
He was medically fine now, and l had been playing along for a month, I couldn’t just bring myself to loving John, it was best to tell him the truth and l was going to do that tonight.
I pressed on the doorbell and as if John had been standing by the door, it was opened almost immediately. He beamed a smile and his beautiful dentitions sprung out.
I wanted to smile but my smile failed me, I just hugged him in order to hide the expression on my face. “Hey Dian, thanks for coming,” John said as he released himself from the hug and he signalled for me to come in.
We both moved into the house and everywhere was lit. Filled with simple and fascinating decorations. My heart skipped a beat, this guy was really going extreme with everything.
The dining table was set and l sat down and watched John dish out the food. We began to eat and soon enough we were done. I knew what I was in for, I just wanted the perfect opportunity to tell him how l felt.
“John, you barely tell me stuffs about you, you didn’t even tell me that you were a heart transplant recipient,” I said with all seriousness. He sighed and he didn’t seem like he heard what l had said.
He took me by the hands and with the speed of light, he lifted me up.Hhe carried me like a man that just wedded the love of his life. Our eyes were locked into one another and he made to k.iss me, l allowed it, I kis.sed him back.
He made his way upstairs with me still in his arms. Getting into his room, he placed me on his bed and made seductive moves at me, he was indeed hot but l only felt lust and not love.
He grabbed my waist as be tilted my back up, and he gently undid my zip. Pulling off my clothes. He made for his clothes as well, he pulled off everything.
I swallowed hard as everything unfolded right in front of me. He violently dragged me to himself on the bed and he whispered into my ears, “Dian, my one true love.” Those words spark memories in my head.
My heart raced as he said those words, those were the exact words of Alan. I pushed him away and I sprung out of the bed and he gave me a surprised look.
“What’s wrong honey?” he said as he made his way out of the bed as well. “Erm…erm, nothing. I’m feeling hot, I wanna shower,” I said as l hurriedly walked towards the bathroom in his room. The bathroom wasn’t litt and I made to put the light on.
I was shocked by what I saw. The walls of the bathroom had been decorated and some words were boldly written on it and it read “Will You Marry Me Dian?” I was completely speechless as to what was before me. I made to move backwards and l felt a figure behind me.
John was on his kneels, Please marry me Dian, John spoke softly as he raised a ring towards me. All l felt was anger and l had to control it. “Get up John, stop this if this is a joke. John, l don’t love you, I’m being sincere with you, I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t feel anything for you,” I said as l almost bursted out crying.
John got up to his feet and suddenly slapped me, he pushed me to the wall and looked straight into me eyes and said, “It’s either you are mine or no else’s”. His dangerous look reminded me of one person and that was Alan.
