Chapter 28 Let Me In!
MR MATTIAS'S POV.
“What just happened? Why did Blake say you're not just an uncle to Shimma? What does he mean by that? Talk to me, what is going on?“
I ran my hand through my hair. Ignoring Mrs Anna's question. I don't know, I just always let my emotions get the best of me. I wouldn't have punched him. Yes he needed to be dealt with but not inside here, not in front of Shimma.
“Mattias, I'm talking to you,” Mrs Anna muttered, this time I couldn't ignore, I turned to face her.
“Mrs Anna, you shouldn't mind that son of a bitch, you know how much I love and care for Shimma. I wouldn't watch anyone try to hurt her or mess with her. That boy is no good for her, she deserves better, and you know it,” I said, Mrs Anna sighed, resting her back against the wall.
“You're right Mattias, I messed up, I wouldn't have, but I acted out of my selfish interest. I love how they were, o loved seeing them together, I love seeing Shimma come back everyday with a wide grin, telling me how her day went with him, they were beautiful together, I was already seeing the future with them,” I felt my heart ache, hearing Mrs Anna's words, God! She needs to stop!
“Shimma didn't agree on seeing Blake today, she said she was done and she had someone else, yet i tried to force Blake back into her life,” Mrs Anna mumbled.
It took me a few seconds to understand what Mrs Anna meant by Shimma having found someone else. But why do I feel uncomfortable with this? Why do I feel like Shimma isn't referring to me?
Yes, I had asked her to be my girlfriend, but I didn't give her the opportunity to say yes to me, simply because I didn't want a no. And now I fear she might be with someone else. I need to know if she wants to be my girlfriend, I need to hear a yes from her. I need to make sure she's mine, and mine alone.
I turned to the door.
“Knock, Knock!“
“Shimma, I need you to let me in, please,”
“Yes Shimma, your uncle was only trying to protect you! I know you're mad at me, but for your uncle's sake, let us in,” Mrs Anna added. I clenched my Jaw, hearing her refer to me as Shimma uncle. I couldn't take it. It just didn't feel right at all.
“I guess she won't be coming out, I'll be downstairs, you can come join me watch a movie,” Mrs Anna suggested. I forced out a smile.
I wanted to see Shimma, I wanted to hold her, kiss her, touch her, while I let her know I would try to control my emotions. But standing here may make Mrs Anna more suspicious. I know her; she might appear nonchalant most of the time, but she's not, she's watching closely….
I nodded slowly.
“Alright,” I said. That way I can make Mrs Anna less suspicious, while I wait for Shimma to come out of her room. I don't think I can leave without seeing her….
SHIMMA.
As I laid on my bed, I couldn't help but catch myself smiling.
I wasn't meant to smile, it wasn't a funny situation, Mr Mattias throwing a punch at Blake wasn't funny at all. But yet I sti find myself smiling.
How did I get so lucky? It still amazes me, knowing that Mr Mattias was willing to risk everything for me. He even risked being at work to come see me.(soft giggling)
Fuck my mother for thinking i would replace Mr Mattias for anyone, not to talk of that bastard, Blake. Fuck Blake….
I woke up to the sound of thunder, the pouring sound of a heavy rain. It was dark outside. I must have fallen asleep while I laid on my bed. I turned to the wall clock, managing to see what the time was. It was past eight. I stretched, before getting up from the bed.
My father would be back soon, but with how heavy the rain was, I could only wish that he came back home instead of lodging at a hotel close to his office. I wanted to see him, this time with a happy face and a wide grin.
I opened my door, walking out as I made my way down stairs.
The first person my eyes landed on was Mr Mattias, seated on one of our sofas, his legs crossed as his eyes were fixed on his phone, my mother on the other hand had dozed off on the other sofa.
I was about to make my way back upstairs when I heard.
“Shimma,” I turned to see Mr Mattias making his way toward me…..
Why was my heart racing so fast?….
