Jake called Beverley Lucas to his apartment just one week after his birthday, he didn't propose to her on his birthday nor did he propose on her birthday,it was their fifth year in the relationship.
Beverley couldn't help but believe this would happen sooner or later, it had been a while they went out on dates and Jake recently has been giving her flimsy excuses anytime she wanted to visit him in his apartment.
She dressed up looking all ravishing and luring purposely to entice a man. She called her best friend Gwen, to inform her,
I'm so happy for you girl but you know I don't like your boyfriend. Gwen replied teasing,
Gwen the least you can do now is to be happy for me, my man is about to do something I have been waiting for, it's been five years now.
Alright go ahead, he is waiting for you, she said chuckling, I love you.
I love you too,and I will call you back soon,She said and hung up.
Beverley walked into Jake's apartment , dressed in a sleek red gown,her hair well styled up and her lipstick sparkling red.
She walked to the dining room and looked around expecting to see candles, dim lights and petals on the floor leading to a romantic bed setting or table, but all the lights were turned on.
It wasn't a romantic setting after all,but the whole place was the usual way.
She whispered to herself with mixed doubt,"maybe he will surprise me, Jake walked in looking somewhat downcast.
Hi Beverley, he said and gave her a slight hug by the side.
Beverley ignored the point where he called her by her name and not any of her pet names like baby or honey he fondly called, This made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Please sit, Jake mutterred with a gloomy countenance.
Beverley sat and couldn't wait for him to say the next line of phrase she had been anticipating for years.
Let me make this brief, his deep voice echoed, staring at her like he was searching for words to say.
Beverley you are the kind of woman that any man would want to be with and you are so good to be with.
Beverley adjusted her sitting posture while nervousness was written all over her,but she waited for his next sentence patiently.
Her breath became so audible as her eyes fastened on him that minute.
The thing is I do not see you in my future,
This thing between us isn't working anymore. He said avoiding their eyes meeting.
Her eyes were wide open in shock trying to figure out if he was being serious, a joke or maybe engagement line.
He adjusted on his seat and his voice was more firm.
We can't be together, I'm truly sorry and I do not want to continue leading you on.
That moment, she knew he was truly serious,tears fueled up in her eyes, her hands began to tremble,
Jake, tell me this is a joke, right,but stop it now cos I do not like it.
It's not, his voice was faint this time.
Then what are you saying, she stood up and began to yell with almost her loudest voice,
You are breaking us?
That's what you called to tell me, ha ha ha.
Hold on,
We were doing so good, she said this even when she knew she was lying to herself, Jake withdrew love and attention for almost a year now.She knew things weren't like it used to be from the onset.
Tell me why you are breaking up with me you scumbag, what did I do?
You said I'm good, so what changed ?
Jake stood up, his both hands in his pocket,
You need to calm down.
Haha ha, Beverley laughed hysterically, I need to calm down, five freaking years of my life, submission, sacrifice, turning every other man down, she paused for some seconds and looked at him.
Jake,she said holding the top of his shirt,
Why are you doing this?
Who is making you do this? Talk to me, we can work things out.
I'm not in love with you anymore, he said with a slight frown, I haven't been in love with you.
Beverley cleaned her tears and looked at him straight in the eyes.
Is there something I'm not doing,tell me, I want us to work things out, You promised to love me forever,
You cannot leave me now that I need you the most.
You said I was the one made for you, remember?
Jake turned his back on her, and turned to face her again,
