“I won't watch you do that to me, you bloody sucker." Nita pushed him away from her body.“Young lady! Hand over my phone to me, and don't let me lose it on you."She walked back and forth, clapping her hands together. “Well, Mr. Ethan, you can have your phone and have it for good." She handed over his phone to him.“Wait! Did you just call me by my name? How did you get to know my name?"Ethan was terrified that someone as such knows him by his name, knowing fully well that this is his first time just knowing her.“I think my business is done here. How I got to know your name is none of your business. Take your phone and leave my presence."Nita took the phone and placed it on his chest, planning to take her leave back into the bar. Ethan pulled her back. “Who are you? I'm still surprised at how you got to know my name. Have you been stalking me?"“Hey! Young man, or whatever you are being called, Please stop holding me like this; you'll injure my skin." Nita retracted herself from his tigh

Bella rolled to the other side of the bed to cuddle with Marco before they started their day. It was on a Sunday morning, and the weather was so cosy for one to be alone.Her hands touched the side of his face, and from her hands, she could tell that he was awake.She turned her face to see his soft eyes. "Babe, what's wrong? It seems like you've been thinking for too long. What exactly is going through your mind?"Marco sat up on the bed, his eyes fixed on the sunlight streaming through the curtains. He ran a hand through his tousled hair, breathing slowly, before meeting Bella's emotional eyes."I've just been pondering a lot lately," Marco said. "Life, choices, our future together,the company. It's a lot to process."Bella held onto his hands very tight. "Marco, listen to me. You don't have to stress yourself out about everything. Take everything one step at a time, and believe me when I say that what you are passing through is just a phase."“Did I hear you say, Phase? phase that the ma

“If you say so, then I’ll have to admit that you are right.” She responded with a weak smile on her face.“Hey! You don’t have to worry about this. I just want you to keep up with your writing.” He placed his hands around her chin and assured her softly with his hands.As they kept staring at each other for a long minute, the waitstaff finally arrived with the same meal that they had ordered. The aroma was very delightful to the nose. The waitress stood in their presence and dropped the meal on the table with a soft voice and a beautiful smile.“I hope you’ll enjoy it and keep on patronising our brand.”“Sure! As long as the meal beats my expectations, then I’ll always be your number one top customer.”The waitress held onto her laugh with her breath before responding,Thank you very much, sir.”Meanwhile, Bella tried to understand why Ethan was out here with a beautiful lady like Anita. She was lost in her thoughts before Marco snapped his fingers at her face to call her back.“Bella, what a

“How about we go check up on Ethan? I hope he is safe and not drowning. Bella stood up in fear as she tried to take a step forward to look for Ethan. Marco grabbed her hands and held them so tight.“What has gotten over you? Why can't you just let that boy go and be on his own for once? Why do you keep acting as his saviour?"“Excuse me! What did I just hear you say?" She stannered a bit with her voice.“You heard me say the right thing. I didn't change my words, nor are you deaf not to hear me speak.”“Marco, I can't believe you are the one saying this to me. After everything I've done for you, After everything we've been through, you have the effrontery to utter those disgusting words to me. How dare you tag me as his saviour? Do I look like one?”“Your actions say everything, Bella. Don't try and play the manipulative game right now.” He defended himself.“Which nonsense manipulative game are you talking about? Weren't you there when I pushed Anita with my words for her to teach Ethan s

“I’m feeling better and relieved, and it’s because you both came to save me. I don’t even know what would have been my fate if you people didn’t show up for me. Now, I can boldly beat my chest and say that good people still exist.” Ethan responded to them with his hands, cleaning his face with the face towel the young woman gave him.“It’s nothing, and I’d advise you never to get yourself stuck in there next time. It’s not advisable or welcoming at all. What if we weren’t kind enough to come to your aid, earfly? Do you think you might have survived it?’ The man asked him.“Sir, It wasn’t that I wanted to be stuck here forever, nor was it that I placed myself in this kind of situation. I was pushed in here by a lunatic, but it’s a long story, and I don’t ever want to talk about it so that I won’t bother you with my problems.”“Did I just hear the man speak about a lunatic? A lunatic in this restaurant? I would rather take my leave than stand and watch the lunatic pounce on me.” The lady
