Lisa's POV
I don't know what went through my mind but i don't regret anything i did with Ken, he's been there for me and the best i guess it wasn't a bad idea.
When I woke up earlier today i didn't expect him to be there with me in my bed, i thought he would be gone by that but funny enough he stayed, we made love countless time in the shower and i don't regret nothing.
I'm currently in my room, I'm just about to head out when my bedroom door is knocked and Roy walks in, he smiles the moment he sees me and i glance at him questioningly
"Hmm you look amazing, you're in your jovial mood not usual"
"Well good morning to you too" i say
"Hmm it's nice seeing you sister, and you look amazing in that dress" he compliments and i say a thank you, i know where he's headed so i don't bother staying back to talk to him, things are turning out really and on my side.
"Thanks brother, we should get going we don't want keeping them waiting, so i think we should head out"
"No sister actually i came to talk to you"
"About what exactly?"
"You know why I'm here so stop playing innocent Siz"
"Ooh i see I'm just surprised why you all over me, what exactly do you want from me?" I ask my arms crossed on my chest, he's really starting to piss me off and i don't think I'm going to entertain him anymore.
"Well i just came to check if you okay and about you and Ken, are you guys together now?"
"And what is your business about that?"
"I'm just a concerned brother nothing else" he says defensively and i let out an angry chuckle
"Well it's time that concerned brother tho start minding his f*****g business, you know popping your head in my business is just lady like, i just want you to stop looking out for me I'm a grown ass woman right now"
"Okay no offense Lisa, but i know Ken very well he's not the dating type, he's a hit and run. Have you asked yourself why hasn't been dating?"
"Same question i should be asking you,you weren't dating , you only met Regina recently so stop judging your friend when you are also the victim here". I say and he only laughs but the frowns immediately after and puts on a serious face.
"Listen to me Lisa, I'm a man and i know what we men do to innocent and genuine ladies like you, I'm not here to talk to you like a possessive brother i am but as a man who's concerned about a lady who is going through a hard time and is about to f**k up, I'm just trying to look out for you Lisa, Ken is player, he'll break your heart, if you want anything to do with him, just don't involve your feelings you're gonna end hurt, I've known Ken for years and I know he's not a guy to settle down for one lady, he's a w***e and you don't want finding that out at the end and regret, maybe if you here for your own benefits then you can go ahead but if you here for love and feelings forget about Ken and find another man who can take care of you and treat you like a queen you are not someone who's gonna treat you like trash. Don't say i didn't tell you unless Ken is promising to change for you which i highly doubt" Roy says and i feel like maybe what he's saying is true, i mean i don't know this man that much, he's the one that has stayed with him and knows him.
What if what he's telling me is true and i should take caution? Or what if Ken is willing to change but what would make him change anyway if he has been hoeing around all his life. I'm stuck in between asking Ken about these allegations or following my brother's free piece of advice and staying the f**k ways from Ken, it's a dilemma to me.
I watch as he walks out of my room and closes the door behind him, i walk to my walk mirror and check if everything is set, my eyes are dull so i decide to wear some mascara to hide that. It's been long since I had a close look at my face, i still have the chocolate skin colour, my eyes are still beautiful as they always are, nothing much has changed. And with this all beauty I'm i just going to waste it over a man who is going to hurt my feelings and break my heart. I guess not i deserve better. I pick my phone, my handbag and my car keys
As i head out I meet Ken outside my bedroom door, he's leaning against the wall and he smiles when he sees me.
"You look beautiful as always a d more pretty in that dress" despite the fact that I love his compliment what Roy said to me earlier pops up in my head and I feel like ignoring his compliment but i choose not.
"Thanks for your compliment, you don't look bad yourself" i say with a small smile pestered on my lips and he pecks my lips before he entangles his hands with mine
"Shall we?"
"Of course" i say and we both head downstairs. We meet with Roy downstairs and he frowns when he sees me buy quickly covers it up with a small smile.
"You two look cute together" he says and i can't fail to note the sarcasm in his statement
"So do you, thanks anyway, we should get going the service is about to kick off" i say and they nod in agreement.
We head out and go straight to the parking lot.
"Lisa do you mind if I use your car, i figured out you two might be needing some privacy so I'll drive alone to the cemetery"
"Okay no problem at all just bring it back in a good shape though" i day seriously and he smiles
"I know how much you love your cars spotlessly clean and with no scratches,don't worry about that it's in good arms" he says and winks at me and i toss him the car keys.
Ken and i take the other car and he insists to drive and i don't argue with him.
We're silent throughout the drive so he clears his throat noisily to catch my attention and i stare at him questioningly.
"What's up with that look?"
"Is there something you wanted stop tell me?" I ask bored
"No you're abnormally quiet today, are you okay?"
"As you can see I'm perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with me"
"What's with that attitude anyway, did i wrong you somewhere?"
"Did you?"
"Lisa just talk it out, let it out stop giving me an attitude i thought we were okay a few hours ago"
"Can we talk about this later, we going for a burial not a court session" i said bored and i turn my attention back to phone.
"Okay as you say" he says in surrender and I'm glad he has stopped talking because he was starting to piss me off already, i just can't wait to approach him and ask him what his plans are. or maybe I might just be blaming him when he has the right intentions, I mean this guy is too old for games really, at this age who will be doing the hit and run things? I thought we were all grown for that i mean i can't believe what my brother told me , or maybe they might be having a beef and i don't know, well i will just wait for the right time and i will then ask him what i want to know, just simple like that
