Wing Of Change
Chapter 50

Henry’s POV

I couldn’t help but lean back against the door the moment I walked out. Eavesdropping is not my thing but I was curious to replace out what that guy really thinks of me.

I am no fans of his so I don’t expect him to be any one of mine. We are clearly not on the same page even though our choices in women are such a coincide.

“I don’t mean to sound controlling but I don’t want that guy around you especially not behind closed doors” I heard him snapped at her making every hair on my body stand up straight as I reached back for the door knob to push my way back in only to realize that I’d be overstepping my bounds.

Darn!

He is such a fool to think that I will leave her side even for a second and fulfill his wish. He is the undeserving one not me. His days by her side are already numbered and he can’t even see it.

I heard Aria gasp in shock followed by her next statement.

“And that’s coming from someone who is never around when I need him because he is just so busy building a bond with his new family” Aria had countered back and I couldn’t help but smile.

That’s my girl right there. I don’t know what she was up about but I do know one thing for sure. Aria deserves a real man who will love and treat her like a queen because that is what she is to me!

Queen of my heart.

I heard myself assuring her like she could hear my thought. I wished she could hear me in that moment but that dimwit voice had to cut my thought out with his reply of course.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been the kind of boyfriend you can count on lately but trust me, I haven’t done anything that would put our relationship in jeopardy”

“How easy it is for you to ask me to trust you around that woman when you don’t even trust me around my neighbor”

“You know I trust you one hundred percent and with all my heart but I would be stupid to trust that guy around you”

Okay!_I have to admit he is right about not trusting me because I can’t even trust myself around her either.

Each minute spent beside her acting like the perfect friend and listening ear rather than the man who loves her is something that am beginning to hate.

How can I be so close to her and not breath her scent in when it fills me up. How can I look at that angelic face and not imagine our unborn babies

She gives me much more than dreams. She makes them come alive without even trying.

She just needs to see me for who I am and also learn to accept and love me like she should. No man will love and appreciate her like I would. She just needed to see it.

She just have to see it.

I was pulled out from my thought by her raised voice. She seem pissed!

“And why not?” I can only imagine both her hands resting against her waist at this point.

“Well_because he has that look in his eyes whenever he smiles at you and trust me, I feel like strangling him each time he flashes it at you like a lunatic”

I heard him explaining in a rather calm voice causing my b***d to boil with anger. If there is any lunatic around the radius of these building is that dumb head in there not me.

He claims to love her yet place her second to everything in his life.

“Darling listen, Henry is just a friend, nothing more and I won’t have you treat him like an enemy because he is not”

Yeah you tell him girl. he is the enemy not me and he is the one that needs to get out of your life for good not me. I practically screamed it at her but she couldn’t hear me still because it was all in my head plus a door frame was standing in between us just like he was in my way of being with her at this point.

“I don’t know what you see in that guy but you need to be careful and no….” I heard him paused before he continued

“….am not jealous because I know you are all mine”.

Argh….

Darn bastard!

I could force my way in there and punch that very abominable declaration of his back through his throat but realizing how that very action would make her feel, I had to forced my feet to back off from the door with each step harder than the next.

Patience Henry!

Patience!

I kept chanting my mantra as I walked away and towards the opposite direction leading to my apartment.

**

Henry sat in the confides of his living room deep in thought with his head thrown back against the cushion when he heard his phone ringing. he took a sideways glance and just lay back against the cushion while the phone just continued to ring away.

He seem reluctant to answer the call even though the caller seem persistent enough to keep calling until he became frustrated and decided to give it a second glance.

The phone rang for another more minutes before he finally had to pick it up with a throaty growl.

“If you are calling to pressure me please refrain from doing so. Am already having a bad day as it seem” he warned firmly with a frown.

If only the caller can see his face though…

“I won’t have to call you every damn second if you were doing your job correctly now would I” replied the caller with an equally firm voice.

“Maybe you have forgotten something dear cousin. Am the one in charge not you so I don’t answer to you or even have to listen to any of your complaints. Now_ If you don’t like how I choose to handle my business then take yours elsewhere and leave me the hell alone” he snapped,feeling even more irritated.

He heard the caller sighed in defeat before asking.

“I do not mean to pressure you this way. I only wish to know what’s the next plan..am running out of patience”

“And so do I. There is no new plan for now, we will follow the one agreed on and we can’t mess this up which is why you have to be patient enough to wait and do your part and I will do mine and one more thing. Don’t call or text me. I will contact you if anything comes up” he instructed.

“Fine!”

The line went dead and he placed the phone back on the armrest and took a meaningful look at his watch and scoffed.

He has been seating in that position for over two hours now since he was forced to leave Aria’s apartment after her boyfriend showed up and hasn’t left.

Anyone could see how frustrated he was looking just seating there with a deep scowl across his face.

With his imagination running wild just thinking about the possible things that could be going on behind closed door in the next apartment.

Maybe his caller was right. It was time to do things differently and fast as he could feel his heart being ripped out of his chest with each delay and turn.

It was either now or never!
