When a Woman wants

FRANCIS' POINT OF VIEW

The speakers were bursting with all their might as the DJ kept spinning; doing what he could do best.

Many hands were raised up, as their owners moved in rhythm to the deafening music. Sweltering bodies crowded the enclosed space, their hips gyrating in emphasis with the pulsating music which was reverberating around the open air. Vibrant laser lights beamed across the wooden dance floor.

Couples pressed their bodies against each other in an interlocking moment of serenity.

He really shouldn't be here. It was a bad idea; he needed to go back- He felt a vibration on his chest and in a moment, he brought out his Phone, he wasn't surprised to see Romeo's face on the bright screen. Too late. He's been spotted. He had no choice now than to go ahead. He found him seated in a less crowded corner of the floor. What seemed like ten bottles of beer and expensive wine were on the table before him and Of course, he was flanked on each side by two ladies, whose boobs were almost falling out of the cloth they were putting on.

"Ladies, meet my man, my best friend, the one and only Doctor Francis Jonas" He introduced him proudly to the ladies who all chorused "hey".

"Francis, these are my babes." Romeo continued as he drew the lady by the left closer. Her eyelashes were too full and were shooting out like twigs. "This is Bella and this is Nessa". The other lady seemed prettier. Cute pointy nose and a pair of sensuous lips, her hair floated around her like sed weed. She was a pretty thing.

Francis nodded with a smile "Hi ladies. How y'all doing?" they returned his greeting with smiles and he took a seat. "Man, I've been waiting for you. What happened to you?" Romeo demanded, passing him a bottle of beer which he held in his hand, not drinking yet.

"That chick cheated on you again?"

"Yep. She did it before and she did it again." He replied, raising the bottle to his lips as he added

"Just like you said she would."

"Man, I cannot take delight in your sorrow. I'm really sorry." Romeo replied, lowering his head. "That Shit isn't loyal. The girl is just a total whore." He shook his head. " still don't know why good men end up with whores like that. Francis shrugged as he lay slouched on the seat while he paid languid attention to his friend. "This is why fooling around is so much better."

Romeo continued "Everyone knows I'm as rich as anything, thanks to my dad. Yes, I'm irresponsible and I play around. I am happy with the life I leave. I have no reason to suffer any heartbreak because my heart is not involved. Get your heart involved and you are doomed forever." He sat up straight. "Take for instance, these two babes, they are my toys." " beg your pardon" Bella interrupted, Francis noticed she looked offended.

"Yes babe. You are my toys. You only follow me around because of my money and once I am done with you, just like toys, I discard you, like right now." Francis wasn't surprised as Mesa's hand hit Romeo across the cheek. Romeo however, seemed shocked

"Idiot" Nyssa hissed as she left with Bella.

Francis raked with laughter at his friend who was getting over the shock of having been slapped by a woman. Romeo put a hand on his cheek as he lighted a cigar in the other. "At least, it was my cheek, not my heart." Romeo said, sticking the lighted cigar in between his lips."You got to promise me this time that you would never forgive her Man" Romeo continued. "You have given her too many chances, I understand you love her but she s taking you for a fool. I know she's beautiful and everything, but, dude, it's going too long. She won't change. She is a model you know, she wants fame, popularity, fast money, being with you for her, is not enough. Please. I won't tell you this again. Let her go"

Francis sighed. His friend was right in every way. He has forgiven her so many times because he sincerely loved her. He couldn't even explain the love. Even though she kept hurting him, he knew deep down he still loved her, just as he had always.

How could you love someone that keeps hurting you?

She was the most beautiful lady he had ever seen and he had always thought she would change.

Wouldn't you give someone you love countless chances to make up for their mistakes? He had thought engaging her would make things better. He had been such a fool!
