Chapter 4 The New Car

Belinda's POV

I was so shocked to notice the uneasiness in Kelly at the instant I walked into the sitting room where he was waiting for me, we were about to go hang out. He was fidgeting with the phone in his hands, and I immediately smelt a rat.

I stopped in my tracks and watched him, he was smiling and laughing into the phone like he was on a chat with someone, and at the same time, stealing glances around like a thief.

It was on one of his glances that his eyes caught me, standing by the entrance of the dining, and he began acting uneasy, fidgeting with the phone.

First, the happy expression on his face turned sour, he began to frown, and then next, the phone almost slipped off his hands, falling away.

For a second I was dazed, what the hell was going on? I was marooned and clueless. My eyes flickered as I shook my head to understand things well.

Before I could say a thing, he got up.

"Hey babe, you ready?", he asked and began walking towards me, in order to get to the door.

I folded my arms, ignoring his question and watched him walk up to me. I was neither ready to leave the way, I stood in his way. He tried to take the other way and I pushed him back. He was shocked.

"Have you lost your mind?", he asked, almost at the top of his voice.

"Yes I have lost my mind, and it's all your damn fault", I bawled at him.

"My dear leave the way...", he tried to walk away, and I vehemently stood.

"I am not leaving until you tell me who she is", I said, pointing at his phone.

"What is wrong with you? What is your...", he asked pointing the phone at me and I immediately grabbed it out of his hands, cutting him short.

My eyes were fast in travelling round the whole screen of the phone before he could forcefully pulled it out of my hands, and what I saw, shocked me to the marrows.

"Are you crazy? Give my phone to me", he said as he grabbed the phone.

My mouth fell wide open, and my eyes widened in utmost shock.

"What was that?", I asked in a whisper, looking from the phone to him.

He was fuming.

"What was what?", he howled in a harsh voice.

"Are you having an affair with my sister?", I bawled at him, but he ignored me and wanted to walk away and I once again, obstructed him.

"Are you?", I shouted.

"Cuuut!", a voice behind the scene shouted and I calmed down, that was our director's voice.

Oh yeah, we were actually working on a movie and in that movie, Kelly happened to be my boyfriend and he was cheating on me with my sister, not my sis Becky though, my sister in the movie. Hahaha, funny right?

Oh nah! Kelly dare not try that with me for real, or he gonna see the other side of hell.

"Errrr, that was a good, spectacular and amazing performance", Victor, our movie director said as he walked up to us, we stood to watch and listen to him.

"Alright let's take a few minutes for break, relax and have lunch, then we will be back after that to shoot the last two scenes for the day okay? Thank you", he said and turned to leave.

"Okay", we replied in unison and sat down, and then I instantly removed the wig I was wearing, leaving my braided natural hair enclosed in a black hair net.

"Make up!", I called and sat down.

"Make up, welfare, please, quick quick quick", Victor shouted as he walked back to the rest of the crew.

"Babe?", I called dropping the wig on the table and picking up my bag which laid close by.

"You good?", he asked as he took his seat, and I nodded, brought my face closer to him and he pecked.

Immediately two ladies approached us, one with my wig, the new Brazilian hair I just got few days ago, and the other with our lunch.

The one with the wig came up to me and began wearing the hair on me while I picked up my phone and immediately began surfing the net.

I turned to Kelly and saw him praying to eat, and he immediately began digging into the meal. It wasn't that bad, it was only but a simple meal of white rice, stew and boiled egg, I looked away, turning back to my phone.

The make up lady finally did her work and left, I was now smoothening down the hair still looking into my phone when something struck my attention, and I actually gave it a full.

It was Jasmine, she was on a live session. I crumpled my face immediately as I watched the rubbish content she was making.

**Hey guys. So I'm out here for my lunch break from shooting The Train, so I decided to check out this new restaurant I heard of, Chicken Republic.

**Wow! Their food is really awesome and I really think you should try it. Meanwhile I'm having noodles, eggplant, chicken streaks and veggies. Any of my fans in the building, you can come let's hook up and have fuuuuuun.

That was it, and then she began showing the food she was gonna eat to the world. Mmm, I instantly went green with anger, I was peeved.

I quickly looked away from the phone and sighed deeply, then I turned to Kelly.

"Change of plans, we are going to Chicken Republic to have lunch, we are not eating this food anymore", I announced.

"Huh?", Kelly mouthed, turning to look at me.

"Let's go", I said, ignoring those looks of his and grabbed his free hand, then shouted to the hearing of our director.

"We will be back for another three hours", I said, getting up.

"Three hours?", he asked coming up to meet us, "I can't afford to loose daylight", he added.

I smiled.

"Well we can't also afford to eat this crap you guys call food", I said looking down at the plates of food on the table.

"Babe?", Kelly called.

"Crap?", Victor asked, totally bewildered.

"Linda, but the food isn't that bad. Every other persons are eating it", Kelly complained.

"Well, we are not every other persons, and I'm sure director understands that", I replied, turning to Victor.

He wasn't happy, the expression he had on his face was too obvious, he wasn't happy at this new development but I didn't care, I really needed to fulfill what was on my mind.

"Alright, one hour", he said.

"We will make that two hours", I replied tilting my head and locking hands with Kelly.

His shoulders fell.

"Fine, whatever. Please", he replied and moved out of the way.

I smiled, Kelly sighed and bent forward to pick up his phone from the table, he did and we began walking away.

"I can't believe you were already eating that", I said to him in a whisper, pulling up a disgust face, and he ignored me.

We got out of the building and walked up to our car parked in the garage. Kelly opened the car door for me and I hopped in, then he walked to the other side and entered.

I watched him start up the car engine and studied his face, he was already calm and I smiled, I knew my man, he never gets mad at me for too long.

Blaring the car horn to alert the security, we drove backwards and then out through the gates which was already opened, and soon, we hit the road.

Few minutes later we arrived at our destination, Chicken Republic. I opened the car door myself and got down to admire the restaurant.

It was indeed a very nice place, mm. There wasn't even a lot of people around.

Kelly walked up to me and I quickly locked hands with him and we walked up to the building, towards the entrance, chatting and laughing.

As we walked I noticed a very beautiful white luxurious car parked close by, mm, I envied the owner already. It was a really beautiful car, the latest model in vogue.

"Mm, whoever owns that must be really classy", I wondered within me.

We got to the entrance and the glass door began sliding open, signalling someone was getting out, and we halted.

The door opened and jeez, guess who it was that was heading out? It was Jasmine.

Hmm, talk of the devil, I quickly looked away, pulling up a disgust face and then turned back to her, now wearing a smiling face.

"Woah! Hi Kelly", she was the first to greet us.

She was actually holding two big customized bags, like a takeaway from the restaurant.

Kelly smiled broadly.

"How are you?", he asked.

"I'm fine", she replied giving him a side hug.

Then she turned to me.

"Belinda...", she called.

"Hi Jasmine", I said and we had a side hug too, then she stood straight up.

"How are you doing?", she asked.

I laughed and began smoothening down my hair.

"Good. Wow! So you come here to eat as well?", I asked laughing, "what a coincidence, we actually come here to eat every day", I said and Kelly shot a weird look at me, I didn't mind.

"Really?", Jasmine asked, a weird look on her face too.

"Yeah", I replied still laughing.

"But they only just opened last week though", she replied and I went cold instantly, I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me, I felt so embarrassed.

Well, I glanced at Kelly who just stood like he wasn't even listening to our conversation, and laughed over the shocking revelation.

"Well yeah... ugh, I meant, we... since last week we have been coming here everyday, to eat", I replied, laughing.

Jasmine nodded.

"Mm, is that right?", she asked.

"Mm mm", I replied.

"Anyways, congratulations guys, I heard of your surprise engagement", she said.

I laughed and Kelly smiled.

"Thank you", he said.

"Kelly, I'm upset with you though. I thought we are industry buddies and yet you didn't invite me", she complained and I smiled, raising up my hand which bore the ring, just for her to see.

"My bad! I'm sorry, I really am", he said.

"Well it's fine, it's fine", she said.

"Ugh, accept my husband to be apologies huh, please", I said laughing.

She nodded, smiling.

"Hmm. You know it's really not easy, it's lot of work trying to put things together, you know, and of course, buying a 24 karat gold ring", I said waving my ring finger and laughing.

"Yeah, I can see that, really nice", she replied.

"Um Jasmine?", I called and she turned to me, "honestly, do not worry. Yours is gonna happen soon, just be patient", I said and glanced at Kelly, he was obviously bored up with the whole thing already.

"Mm, thank you", she said and then took out a car key, "alright guys it's nice meeting you, you know...", she trailed off as she punched on the small buttons on the car key, and the very nice beautiful car which I had admired earlier on, made a beeping sound.

What! I almost died, I almost passed out. Kelly in his own aspect was astounded and really surprised.

"Oh wow! Is that yours?", he asked and she nodded.

"Yup, it's mine", she said, nodding her head, and smiling knowingly.

My eyes widened in total shock.

"What!", I exclaimed out loud and both Kelly and her, sharply turned to look at me.
