"One moment."
The voice came again from inside the house. That was the third time the aged but feminine voice would say the same thing. Dia stood there wondering how many minutes were there in a moment that made the woman keep her waiting outside. Such compound exposed to every passer by. She wasn't even sure whether or not she had been spotted by someone who knew her.
She knocked again and echoed what she knew the woman would say,
"One moment."
Then the knob of the door was bothered, turned in. The door opened to a thick and plumpy woman with meaty cheeks which had several spots glazing them. The woman's face broadened into a wild smile which revealed her yellow set of teeth. Of course yellow from inadequate care.
"One moment."Th

Dia's studio. "Not left foot before right. Vice versa." Dia said in akimbo, her eyes keen on the 10 years old girl missing the steps over and over again. "Sorry, miss." The cheeky girl pleaded at last. The little girl reminded her of her days when she was the girl's age. She was as troublesome as hell. She remembered putting her dad into hurdles on the eve of several Christmas ago. Just because he forgot to buy the lights for the Christmas tree. "Assist her, Lori." She said to the other lady dancing with the cheeky girl. Lori grabbed the girl's hands and began to guide them. But instead of the girl to concentrate, she looked towards the door instead and called, "Miss." "What?" Dia snapped at her in frustration. But then sh

In a restaurant."My husband shouldn't find me here."Claire said looking around as though her husband had sprouted out of nowhere and was stalking her.The man seated before him on the dinner chair had a smile tugging at the side of his lips as he said,"Because this is a low budget place and below your standard?"She scoffed and shot back at him, "Don't be ridiculous, Dave. Even though you don't know my husband like I know him. At least, the little time you spent with him that day should leave and imprint on your mind. He always do that on purpose." He smiled and picked a part of the steak with a fork. He said amidst munching, "But you'll agree with me that he's rude." She took a swig of the wine from the cup and looked at him, "Even a blind knows that."

At Dia's Studio."This is Max, my fiance. Max, this is...""Dre."The taxi driver interrupted Dia. He looked at the Max guy. To Dre, Max stunk of wealth and charm. His aura was elegant and his form well-built. Nature was quite generous to him."Nice to meet you."Max reached out his hand to Dre who took it in his firm but rough palm. Max was quick to fight his hand free, though he was quite formal about it."Is that even the right thing to say?"Max chuckled but Dre on the other hand didn't say a thing. He looked calm and collected. His face was calmer than Max's. Several thoughts rippling in his mind."I don't know how this is supposed to seem, two brothers meeting for the first time after several ordeals, or odds."Dia started, looking from the first guy to the other. They were seated on three dinner-like chairs; Dia beside Max, and Dre opposite the both of them.

Rowe's apartment."She said they would be here in no time."Max assured his father for the twelfth time. He noticed that his mother wasn't herself but he didn't know what to owe that to. They hadn't really talked about things in a long time. Like they used to do before the incursion of DIA. Yea. The incursion.Most time he was often tempted to just break down before her and let her know all the things happening: the sham of Dia and the hidden child that Rowe had. He didn't know what to think letting his mother know. He didn't know how she would take it. She might break down. She would."I knew she was odd, keeping the parents of her to-be husband waiting. What nice wife do that?"Claire countered. Not certain who she had directed that to. Before she could build on that stance, Rowe had taken a shot,"We hardly know this lady. I'm sure she has very fair impressions on. She's nice and wouldn't be what you

Max quit punching his iMac, the new one he had just gotten. He needed new softwares for some of the technical functions he was playing around."I'm fine mom."He looked back at his laptop, resuming his work, with the expectation that his mom would close the door behind her and walk away. But instead she walked into the room and let the door close itself."You don't want us to talk?"She argued, sitting on the fancy swan chair towards the window to the left of the room.Max closed his laptop and shot her the resignation stare,"You asked a question mom,

At a restaurant. "I'm sure you come here like always. You're Rowe's son, nothing is too costly for you folks." Dia shot the compliment, her face washed in the rays of joy lurking at the base of her lips, at both corners of her mouth. Max only watched her and let the smile get to him, he didn't fight it, "That's a thing to say, but I don't really like eating out. I've got the best cook at home. My mom does the best dishes I've ever tried out." She chuckled and countered, "I'm certain that the narrative would change as soon as I move in." He smiled at that, he wished what she had said was really true, "We'll see to that, though I've never tasted a meal your prepared." He maintained, making sure not to let his eyes off her cute face. He was testing his patience and the strength of his manhood. Whether or not he could be sane with her around. Whether or not he would be able to regulate the emotions he ha

Bellevue, Washington DC."She can't possibly be the talk of the Town."Zoe argued, seated on the one seater chair opposite the two seater in the middle of a large sitting room. Her eyes were keen on the person she had directed that to."This ain't Seattle, Zoe. This is Bellevue, 16 mins away by car, 36 by train, 3hrs by legs and an hour by bicycle."Alex said, feeling the wave of his own wit rippling in his mental ken. Zoe only looked at him, wondering how jobless a person could be to had crammed the distances as though twas some business.Well, that was how Alex was. If you're just getting to know him, he takes his time learning things he didn't need. And trying out things that could hurt him. Which was one of the reasons he played Dia.

A private but Portable apartment. "I'll be direct with my point." Rowe started, his eyes keen on the face of the smooth faced lady seated before him. They had just finished eating, and over the meal, they had only but played around basic and naughty topics which of course weren't of worth. "But before then what do you think my advances towards you are?" He asked. His voice keeping that Rowe-indifference, yet a tone tampered with ease. "You probably joke a lot or something." Dia, the smooth faced replied. Her rude eyes picking the stray hair loitering around the cheek, away from the beards. "Nah. You sure should had heard about Rowe even before taking interest in my son." His ego had wounded his face, his cheeks swelling to the pride of the words, "I haven't. Never crossed my ear." She lied, trying to fiddle with the ego of the old man. She wasn't

Group Vacation: Maldives.
Four months Later. Maldives.~Dia Wealene~"How many times have they kicked?"Caidine called at me, walking out of the hut to join the remaining three of us. We were seated at the edge of the long wooden elevated basement on which the hut had been built. The row of huts were built on the ocean.I had my head resting on Albert's shoulder and Ray seated next to me. Caidine got to us and handed each of us a hollow, long cup of tasty spicy juice. Ray let her sit next to me."Now you've made them seem jobless. I don't believe that all babies do is kick. They sure have some other tasks they catch up to."I teased. I knew I was being unreasonable but no matter how sour and crazy my joke seemed, Albert's laugh was always the loudest. And sometimes, I am forced to think that he laughs at how boring my jokes are.And he has been acting that way since he discovered that I was pregnant with his twins. Two g

Yorkshire.~Albert~"Let no one say a thing, I got this covered."Dia promised as Ray, Caidine, and Ray jr in between them walked towards us after pulling over their own car in Mr Wealene's large compound."Everyone seems to be here. But who is the owner of those strange cars. I hate to believe that crazy Mr Wilson is here. But it's all good, everything would be sorted today."She affirmed as she ran her arm into the space between my arm and waist. She held me like couples would do and called,"After me, y'all."As we walked towards the door, I wanted so badly to tell her the last secret but sincerely I was scared. And I still am. I should tell her but I just can't, no matter how hard I try.But the fact is, the truth cannot stay hidden for long. In just less than five minutes, all would be ratted out.

Sweet Home.~Dia Wealene~"When did you get a new Ferrari?"He queried as soon as he pulled over in my compound. One thing was the fact that I couldn't believe that this was the end of vacation, let alone the recent stance he had just assumed."What Ferrari?"I turned to him but he had stepped out of the car and walked over to my side. He got the door and I stepped out. He pointed in the direction of the garage. Parked was a red Ferrari. "I never drove this in, and I don't remember telling the automobile company to bring a new car. Nor did Caidine tell me about any--"I hesitated for a while as a supposition suddenly hit me."Come."I walked towards the door as he caught up with me. He held my hand and we both walked into the parlor."Where are they?"I quizzed, walking into the empty first parlour. Then suddenly, came the blast of music over the speaker, b

Day 7
Colorado.~Dia Wealene~"I wish we could stay a week more."I complained, tracing my pinky finger through the deep hollow between his two pouting chests. The tip of my skin feeling the hardness of his torso. My head was on the spot where the shoulder meet the chest. We were both in bed. We just finished having sex. And it hadn't been forever since we got here. It's late at night. We're in a hotel. Hyatt Residence Club Beaver Creek, Mountain Lodge."We will. But not now. We will go on several other vacations after our wedding."He assured, stroking the loose strands of hair on my temple. Gentle caresses that turn me on."But wedding can wait. Let's just enjoy many more days alone."I looked up at him, my head poised, chin on his chest, eyes sorting out his.He suddenly sat up, leaning on the head of the bed. He helped me up too and made me sit in between his thighs, his warm arms wounded around m

Day 5 and 6
In the middle of the ocean. Bangkok.~Dia Wealene~"Where'd he go?"I walked into the large sitting room in the yacht. My eyes were slightly heavy from sleep but that wasn't enough to slow me down. I walked past the numerous couches locked into each other in a circular mound in the heart of the space.I put up my left hand and caught the sight of the diamond ring glistering. I smiled at the memory of a day before yesterday. I kissed the ring and let out a light laugh. I walked towards the door.We'd spent the previous day in a private jet and had flew all the way from Vegas to Thailand. I have no idea how he chooses his thing, but he seemed obsessed with long-distance stuff.The 24 hours we spent on the jet passed by so quickly, since we spent most of it playing games and watching movies. And earlier this morning, we've set on the ocean and had had some sex spree. And I was just waking up. Waking up to hi

"Albert?"I turned around. I was on a cliff with a flat, rectangular top. At the edge of the cliff on the four sides were lit candles and in the middle were sprinkled pink flowers all over the place."Albert?"My heart would liquefy. I'm sure."I'm here!"I heard his voice from the path that led up the cliff. I hurried towards there and couldn't move any further. There were rocky stairs that lead up the cliff. And at the edges of the stairs were candles too. That must be what we had climbed.Albert was walking towards me, climbing the stairs, and in his hands were two giant bouquet of different kinds of flowers I'd never seen."Albert?"I wasn't sure of what else to say as he got to me and handed me both the flowers."Come, my love."He called and I followed him not sure of what to expect even though my sixth-sense was loud enough.As we got back to the spot I had left be

The Surprise
Grand Canyon.~Dia Wealene~"Do you really think this is necessary?"I argued, not sure of what else to say. Of course I was been beaten by curiosity as well as anxiety, but both had pressed on me so greatly that I was beginning to feel uncomfortable."We're almost there. You don't have to worry, as soon as I park the car, you'll be in my arms all the way through, till we get to where we are going."He explained. But I kept up the pace of the argument,"But really, Albert. It's already night. Having a blindfold on me makes no difference."I could feel a silhouette eating me up as he pressed his lips on my cheek."To me, it matters. Just trust me, baby."There was plea in his tone and I wasn't ready to prove further."Fine."I muttered, even though twasnt enough. I wanted to tell him to kiss me in the lips to shut me up but I let the urge slide.We had left Japan early this mor

Day 2 and 3
Thermae Bath Spa. Japan. ~Dia Wealene~ "This is one of those. At least, my young days tasted some of the renowned English buildings in some part of the world." He replied, explaining. He was leaning on the border of the Minerva bath. Twas like a large pool with steams, but I could tell from the feel of the water on my skin, that the water is well treated; mineral-rich. "But it's rather strange. A UK establishment in the heart of Japan. Maybe I should say it's impressive. One of these days, Cleavinks should have a branch too in one of these Asian countries. I'm sure their folks are pretty innovative." He turned to me at that, closing the space in between us; we were facing the front before the turn. "No folks are dumb. But really, have we come all the way to Japan to talk about business?!" He pulled me closer and stole my lips. His left hand at my nape, and the right sliding down my back till it h

Day 1
Few Days Later.~Albert~"Where to?"She quizzed, taking a quick glance at the side of my face. I turned to her as quickly as I could, my eyes straying off the express road, my firm hands drifting the steering wheel through the road."Disclaimer: All you have to do for these seven days is to sit back and trust all of my words. Because if you ask me again to where I'm taking you, I would have no choice but to tell you, which would make it no surprise anymore. You know, I can't really keep a secret from you anymore."I paused. The rays of the sun stealing through the window of her seat beside me revealed the glee sweeping past her face. I guess I tried. Caidine had told me to give details whenever she asks a question. I had forgotten to ask her why, but I guess it's really working and helping."What else did Caidine teach you?"She sneered at me. My heart missed a beat. I wanted to show it as Caidin
