girl, what’s up with her? I thought we were getting along but now she
won’t return my calls, is everything okay with her?”
“Yes,
she’s fine but if you hang around for about a half an hour she should be here.”
“I
wish I could wait but I am heading to another late meeting. Tell your girl I
will call her later and if she doesn’t take my call I’m going to camp outside
her house.” He said jokingly. He rose, gave Stephanie a kiss on the cheek and
told her to take care of herself.
Ivan
walked into the restaurant and immediately noticed Stephanie sitting at the
table with Lawrence. ‘What the Hell….’ He
thought ‘What are they doing here
together?’ Ivan felt his temperature rise. He was suddenly consumed with
jealously. He needed to calm himself down before he approached them or it could
turn ugly. He ordered a drink from the bar he took a sip as he walked towards
the table. As he was approaching he saw Lawrence kiss Stephanie. ‘Are they seeing each other? I’ll be damn if
I’ll allow him to steal my woman. My woman? She is not my woman, at least not
yet, but she will be.’ Just as Ivan arrived at the table Lawrence was about
to step away when Ivan halted his process. Lawrence looked up. “Hey, Ivan,
what’s up?”
“That’s
funny. I was about to ask you the same thing.”
He
said looking back and forth between the two with a disgusted look on his face.
Lawrence
looked at Ivan puzzled. “Look, I’m not sure what’s going on, but I have to get
to a meeting. Ivan, I will talk to you later and Stephanie, don’t forget what I
told you. Later.” Stephanie smiled as Lawrence walked away.
“So,
the elusive Mr. Quinn is around,” she said with sarcasm.
“What
the hell was that about?” Ivan said through his teeth obviously seething.
“What
was what about?” she said looking into his green eyes that seemed to be getting
darker. ‘Is he jealous?’ She thought.
“Don’t
be coy, Stephanie. You know exactly what I’m talking about, you and Lawrence.
Are you seeing him now only a day and a half after confessing your feelings for
me, or has this been going on all along?” ‘He
is jealous.’ She sat silently
while he continued on his tirade.
“So
how long have you been seeing him? Are you trying to play both of us?”
Now
it was her turn to get angry.
“Play
you? Play you?”
She
said a little louder then she intended. She looked around to see if anyone was
looking and focused her attention back to Ivan.
“You’ve
got some damn nerve to approach me with this bullshit. You are the one who’s
been avoiding me for the last couple of days.” She said through her teeth,
trying not to cause a scene. “Yes, I told you how I felt, but I also told you
it’s all or nothing. I am not doing any agreement.” Ivan stood there, a little
stunned by her reaction as she continued. “And now you come over to my table,
implying that I am seeing someone else after I told you how I feel about you.
You have the nerve to question my character while trying to stake your fucking
claim on something that is not yours.” Stephanie was so angry that tears
threatened to fall but she refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her
cry.
“Do
you remember our last conversation? I sure as hell do. I believe it was you who
said that you could not do a relationship. So why are you now questioning who I
chose to date?”
Ivan
remained silent as his piercing green eyes bore into her.
“So,
you are dating him.” He said in a low irritated tone. She was about to answer when her
girlfriends approached the table. Ivan never took his eyes off of Stephanie.
Tara
cleared her throat. “Are we interrupting something?” Stephanie looked up; her
friends could tell that something was wrong.
“No,
Mr. Quinn was just leaving.” Ivan stood.
“It’s
a pleasure to see you both again. Stephanie, we will finish
won’t return my calls, is everything okay with her?”
