“I just feel restless,” I stated, my voice barely above a whisper, the words heavy with unspoken emotions. “Do you know what? Can we take a drive to the place where you wanted to take me?” I added quickly, desperation lacing my tone, hoping the night air would offer some respite from the crushing weight on my chest. Cole looked at me intently for a moment, his gaze piercing through the darkness, searching my eyes as if trying to read the chaos within. His presence was steady, a silent pillar amidst my crumbling world. If there was anything I wanted, it was the cold night breeze to glaze my face, the tranquility of the night to calm my racing thoughts. “Okay, I’m unable to sleep as well, so I don’t mind,” Cole shrugged, his voice a soothing balm against the raw edges of my nerves. “Give me a second to get my keys,” he added, and I nodded vehemently, the eagerness in my gesture betraying my need for escape. Cole turned to leave for his room but then halted, casting a glance back a
“Take and sight the document,” Joshua exclaimed abruptly, his voice cutting through the tense air of the room as he shoved a crumpled paper toward me. Joshua’s abrupt command pierced the tense air of the room like a knife. He shoved a crumpled paper toward me, his expression etched with frustration and anger that seemed to radiate off him in waves. Confusion flickered across my face as I took in his sudden intensity. “What is this?” I demanded, suspicion lacing my voice as I narrowed my eyes at him. His behavior was unsettling, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this than met the eye. Still reeling from his earlier outburst, Joshua’s face remained flushed with emotion. He had stormed away from the wall moments ago, his clenched fist leaving an echo of its impact in the air. Now, with a sharp tug, he yanked open a nearby drawer, his movements sharp and agitated as he retrieved the document he had thrust into my face just seconds before. “Just take and sign the
"I love you" Harry said to me. I couldn't help but drop my jaw unknowingly. I stared at him like a dumbfounded dawg. "What?" I said with my eyes widened. He looked deeply into my eyes as though wanting to communicate with me through my eyes. He came closer to me and grabbed my left hand and then placed the other on my face as i still stared." Yes I love you Annette. Since the first day I crossed paths with you, I have had this unexplainable feeling. Each day I sleep, I always think about you. Every minute I am seated, you always pop up in my thoughts. We actually started on a bad note but just in the duration of a few weeks we have gotten close to each other. I really wished you were mine" he said and caressed my chin with the hand he placed on It."What are you even talking about Harry? We seldom know each other, and now out of the blues you profess love to me? This all doesn't make sense" I said and pulled his hand off my face. He stared at the hand I took them down and then he re
"What???" Alexis screamed with her hands raised high. I was surprised at the pitch with which she spoke."Are you kidding me?" She said, and drew closer to me as we strolled in the garden. "Yes it is" I said. Don't be confused, I told her about what transpired between Harry and I yesterday." So he really professed love to you yesterday, and then you turned him down?" She said very surprised. I said nothing, just clicked my teeth and shrugged."Yeah, I ummm don't think it's right for us to thread that lane. We are better off on the friend's rail. And by the way, it's not as though I feel anything for him of that sort" I said and turned my eyes away. She was still surprised and glared at me. I don't know why she was surprised."Umm look at me Alina" she said and grabbed my face. She can sometimes be bossy and grumpy. Eish, I turned and looked at her contemplating what prolly she had simmering in her head. "(Clears throat) What is it?" I said. She looked at me and into my eyes deeply.
" I hate you so much Miguel," Scarlett cussed.The night after the whole saga between the latter and the former, Scarlett resorted to finding solace in Lux which is a bar. She was seated and drinking herself to death, gulping each drink in one go."Skink another shot" Scarlett said and sighed. The bartender nodded and poured another from the bottle. She grabs it and gulps it in one go, slouching her neck backwards. The Bar was noisy as jazz music was in the background and then others were having a good time.She was dressed in tight blue jean pants and a plain brown shirt. "He sure is a loser" a voice came from behind Scarlett. She turns slantly and locked eyes with Brody Lelands."What?" Scarlett asked, quite confused. Her eyes ran up from his face and then down to his feet. He was tall, muscular and in his early thirties."I mean the man who put you in this state is a loser" he cussed, still standing with a beer mug filled to the brim in his hand."Hmmm" She turned back and brushe
" You!!" I snapped as I saw who just entered my office. It was the same lady I had a conversation with at Lux." Yes" she Drawled. We gawked at each other before my eyes retraced it's gaze to her abdomen and so that she was heavy with child."Ummm please sit" I said and pointed my hand towards the swivel chair that faced me. She seemed more surprised seeing me but the my eyes couldn't leave her protruding tommy."Thank you" she muttered and pushed herself and collapsed casually on the chair." How are you?" I quizzed and laid relaxed in my chair." I'm fine" she dropped mildly. The whole situation between us was awkward because the last time we met, we had a one night stand and I am sure the whole thing still lingered."I uhmmm I am here for a job" she stuttered with her eyes straying away from mine. I firmly placed my hand in the desk right before me with the radiation of the light from my laptop blasting my face."Oh okay, I am sorry about the other night. We both were drunk and I g
" YOU ARE SUCH AN A**HOLE!!" I roared at Miguel, my boyfriend. Miguel and I have been dating for two years straight now and he always seems to be the perfect man whom I felt would make a good and perfect life partner, prolly I was too quick to decide. He always treated me like a queen and a princess at the same time. I know that's an exaggeration but it's the truth to me or rather a facade. I was twenty one when I met Miguel at a restaurant when I was out with my best friend Maia after school. We both were seated, eating and chit chatting when Miguel and two of his friends bounced in the restaurant with loud chatter and noise. They drew both my attention and that of the others in the restaurant. Oh jeez he was so handsome with his nice black curly hair and a bright smile filled his face. They walked past us still having a conversation and we both shared glances and I must swear that this time I really felt butterflies in my belly. They sat behind us and soon a waiter came to attend
So hot" I said still checking myself out in the mirror as I am done dressing and ready for my welcome back party, quite psyched about it. Am wearing a light pink suit with a white shirt inside. The two buttons at the top of my shirt close to my neck was left unhooked now enabling my broad chest pop out. It is five minutes past seven and this is party time. I run my hands in my hair with swag and then with long stride I bounce out of my room feeling a little nervous but still looking forward to this.I walk downstairs and the sound of distant indistinct chatter gives me the heads-up that the whole of downstairs is choked. I walk majestically down the staircase and now I can see my invitees or rather my dad's invitees, mostly his business partners and other renowned folks."Hi Dad"I said to my dad now In the party arena. My dad is with other friends bantering. They all have a cup filled with wine in their hands are the discussed."Hey Brody you are here, you are late you know" he says t
