Just Mine 99 What does a man need all that beauty for?

Sky smiled as she collected the bag of food from him, she took a deep breath to calm herself and asked Dwayne. Hey is that guy with a white family looking this way?

Dwayne looked behind her to check, he looked around and saw a guy with his family, he was looking right at them...mostly at Sky. He was tall and built but Dwayne was taller than him. Do you know him boss?

Yeah I used to know him, I was just surprised to see him. I mean I'm not ready, not like this...she said pointing at herself, you know all dressed looking classy and all.

Dwayne smiled and looked her over, he held her shoulder and faked seriousness as he looked at her from head to toe...you are perfect Ms Sky just like the Sky.

Oh please Dwayne stop flattering, I look like somebody's mother.

You are somebody's mother Ms Sky, you are sweatpea's mom.

Dwayne!😣 I'm yet to be a mom so I shouldn't look like one.

Haha haha, I know I'm just kidding, you are perfect ma'am, you look beautiful, I like you just the way you are.

That's right Fiance, thank you. Now stop calling me boss or ma'am, we are suppose to be engaged, she smiled and link hands with him. I don't care how I look, all that matters is that I'm happy, I don't need to prove anything to him.

Dwayne carried their bags and smiled at his boss as they headed to the door, hands linked. He can never get used to her holding him like this, he remembered how he used to envy Anton then, but now she sees him like a close friend, if only she could see him more than that, well he's still got time.

Ruky froze as she turned and walked towards their direction, with her hand linked with the guy she was with. She looked so happy smiling. It was his Mena, she looked different. She has added in the right places and her skin was shinning. How long has it been? four, five years? He thought to himself, she's changed soo much, he was trying to look at her tummy well, it looked big and that's unlike her except it was a ....no not possible, he said to himself. She pulled out her glasses and put it on, and walked passed him as if he was a total stranger, she looked right through him, is this the Mena he knew?

Johnson, Johnson....his wife called him, what are looking at? Teddy wants his toy.

Oh sorry, I thought I saw someone I knew. He replied her.

Hmmm don't tell me you were staring at the beautiful man, he's just too cute for a man, she said smiling to her husband.

What? Ruky asked confused.

The couple, the chocolate beauty?

Couple? He asked her

Yes honey, they both wore engagement ring, you didn't see it?

Oh, no I wasn't really looking at the them.

Hmmmmmm are you ok John? You seem distracted.

I'm fine hun, let's go.

Tiffany looked at the couple her husband was staring at and sighed, the lady looked familiar, she looked at her until they walked out the door.

Let me guess ma'am oh sorry Ms Sky, was that your ex?

You know about him?

Anton told me about him. Wow the infamous ex, I've been wanting to meet him.

Well now you've seen him. I'm just so glad I'm over him, I mean I didn't even feel a thing when I saw him with another woman, all I wanted was to look good so he'd know I'm doing good.

Don't worry ma'am, you've got sexiness all over you, he said winking at her.

Yeah Sky said smiling, I have pretty face you and drooling in sexiness Anton and....

Hey ma'am, Dwayne said, cutting her short. I'm the drooling in sexiness, while Anton is the pretty face.

Sky laughed as she held his cheek and played with his face like a baby.....yes you are pretty face Dwayne.

Looking sharp Ms Sky Bones said as he saw his boss.

Thanks pal. The reporters?

They are by the other side, awaiting your presence by the private exit.

Sky smiled, well I wish them happy waiting.

Ruky was about to stop a taxi when he saw Mena playing and laughing with her supposed fiance. The boy was too pretty, he rolled his eyes. What does a man need all that beauty for? A man needs to be masculine not pretty like a woman. If not for his height and his biceps, one can easily mistake him for a woman.

Sky arrived at the hotel tired, she didn't know why she woke up so weak today...she sent Bones to the school to get information, to find out about the girls friends and other information

While Dwayne went to see the Vice Chancellor and the leaders of the school. She decided to work on the file Chiamanda sent her when she dozed off.

Sky jumped off the bed as she heard a sound. She looked around and saw it was her phone ringtone. I must have dozed off, she said as she rubbed her eyes. She picked the call.

Hey Dwayne watsup? Ok you fixed a time for the meeting, a protest outside the school gate? Ok just two days?....no no, tell them the school should be on break till we find out who's behind the whole thing and I want all staff present both non academic staff. Yes thank you, great job. He found out she had a boyfriend, yeah Bone texted me. No I dozed off. Yeah later. Bye.

It was almost noon, Sky showered and changed into a short and a flare top. She decided to go to the lobby, maybe check out the restaurant to get something to eat before she starts work. She decided to check the hotel out, it's been months since she visited so she took the staircase and checked two wings before she took the elevator down.

She called her mom to ask her if the way she was feeling was normal. Nime I'm so weak, should I be worried? I'm just lazy mom and I have alot to do, yes ma i'll try. Ok take care of yourself ma'am. I will, love you too Nime.

Sky was about to end the call with her mom when someone pulled her into a room.

Shocked, she tried to free herself from the person's hold but her strength failed her, she tried to fight but couldn't, not now ...she said to herself. He pinned her hand to the wall. She closed her eyes to accept what was to come.

Well now, Mena that's not the right way to greet the love of your life.

Shocked Sky opened her eyes and looked at her assailant, Ruky??

Yes love. Ruky put on the light in the room. He watched as she tried to adjust to the light but still didn't let go.

Hearing his voice, She was filled with rage, how dare you? She said as she used her knee to hit him hard on the groin.

Ouuuch, Mena calm down. Why are you like this?

Don't you ever lay those filthy hands on me again, I told you to act like we are strangers when next we meet. Please stay away from me.

I'm not letting you go until we talk, he closed the door and put the key card in his pocket. You'll have to get through me love.
