Selena smiled. She has got the reason and she said it. " Forget about the apartment being close to my school. You want to be the one visiting and not me.""You are dead right!" David took a sip and placed the cup back on the table. Selena had peaked her brow waiting to hear what he would say."So, you are scared of me?" she asked." I don't want to stop your career." David put it clearly to her." Career? That I won't marry?" She stared at him with a slant of her neck." C'mmon, tell me." she said and stretched her hand and held David's.If David could just give her a green light, she would not mind, she would pack go live with him and then marriage has begun. "Career ladies like Laila have two options. Career or marriage." David said."Not me!" she rebuffed," My career won't make me a spinster. If you want to marry me, I'll have no objection anytime," she said, baring her mind. David squeaked. " I will do something. " he said. They were at a private table in the club. "Take this pe
"Your Dad seems not to be in support of our relationship, Pat." said Laila. "Relationship?" Don't you remember what we are into? You said it as if it's a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship that Dad has to monitor or approve.""It is still the same since you have not paid on my head. It is still boyfriend and girlfriend.""So, that is an issue now? Paying? Was it the money that we couldn't afford? You presented your career first." isn't it ?" asked Dr Pat." Then, we concluded that on your elevation as a manager, we wed. Laila, am I lying?" "But your Dad was not aware of that. He has a different view of us." Laila said," And I don't know how I am going to be a good daughter-in-law. First impression they say matters. Pat, think about it.""Laila! My Dad is not against us! I have secured employment as a director at Atlas. And tomorrow, we are off to Nebraska. Anything you want, business? Or paid work? It is just a matter of telling the CEO, hey, I want a good office for my wife."Lail
Fear of failure Laila had been lying down and sweating under the duvet despite the cold weather inside which was about 20°CDavid slowly rolled down the piece of duvet covering her face and told her "I have told my uncle we are coming tomorrow."He turned her face upright as her eyes were still closed."You seemed to have a headache?"He looked longish at the placid beautiful long face and chewed his lips, about to cry as the past flooded into his head. The most beautiful girl he loved!If he not that time had seen her in the restaurant with a man kissing, he would have not felt this dagger now piercing his heart. He sniffed.He imagined how many times they had kissed with her eyes closed in absolute surrender as he saw her, how many times the man had run his palms up and down her curves till her knees wobbled. How many times she had been carried to his bed as her knees wobbled? Who removes her underwear? She or him?Right there where she was lying, he visualized how this beautifu
Where is she from?"Even my Dad and Mom could not recognize me." Laila speaking, affirmed, " Sure, Mr Roberts won't! Hope he is the only problem?" She gave David a hard look and a smile."Yeah," David concurred," Soon, " he said, "we will try our game.""Hehehe," she exclaimed, asking. "When?", intoxicated by her anticipation.She took a mirror, turning her face before it."I will tell him tomorrow I want to get married," said David."Okay. You are mature, after all. Then...?""Normally, they will ask who is she?" David pointed out."They? Mr Roberts and?" she asked, agitation, over her face "His wife and John, my brother and wife," David counted."I haven't seen them," she said, "Except Mr Roberts, would they pose a problem?" She was curious, and she added," We aren't going to be telling them long stories of the past. Isn't it?" storming David with a steely look. *. *. *David before Roberts, his heart cut. Liars know how to keep their faces straight. But here was David, who had n
Their security dashed out and they opened their doors. David took her arm and they walked in.In the living room, Mr Roberts' wife, despite scanning her like she was once a criminal, was God's providence for her escape.She said to Mr. Roberts," David has found a soulmate, let's give them our blessing."With the way the interview and the inspection were cut short, Laila's heart pounded. Back at the old statehouse, Laila's mom was on the line. "What happened? Your line had been of these days?"She had offed her phone because of Dr. Pat."Well, Dr Pat is at the gate. What will I tell him? But make sure that David or Evid is not pretending to be rich o.""Mum he is Super rich! Please, tell him, he should talk with me that I am not a baby. Period" Laila spoke gingerly as if Dr. Pat was eavesdropping.Dina, Laila's Mom relayed to her their live discussion with Dr Pat."Somebody told me she saw her at the airport."Dina parted her arms."Do I know? She didn't tell me anything."After liste
When she said " I do ", Dr. Patrick shuddered.The "I do" came from the altar, a distance of twenty meters. The voice of his fiancee, Laila? Dr. Pat walked out from the pew and squeezed through the personalities, eyes on who was in the veil. He went back and sat down in the pewHe was sure whom he saw. By her voice, when she said 'I do'. By her hips inside the crafted Dubai wedding dress. The hips he had traced both sides at least thrice; up and down, up and down. With eyes closed, he could tell these hips belonged to Laila He has to ask her how it happened. When did you know my boss, Laila? Were you double-dating? He thought of the best approach: Call her with a different number, ask her how come. Or, lie low and overlook her? The pain may go away one day. How would the pain go? Is there another Angel God will send on an errand he could trap on the earth?Laila has the sexiest shape, her hazel eyes always like she wanted to sleep any time she was responding to his kiss. Oh! Laila
Dr Pat Dead?"That Dr Pat is dead? Just like that?""What did they say happen? "Whisper: a female partner he took to the chalet..."Did what?"Another news came: He hasn't died. He's still breathing." Oh! What a shame! What would his wife say?""Does he have a wife? Do you know?""Oh. Hope the CEO won't hear this!""How won't he hear it? A director? ""Have you heard anything?" asked Laila, as David came back from business travel.He traveled with some officials of Atlas Corp for mining in Namibia and on their way from the airport, they had a stopover at the office where the news was broken to them. Mr Cliff heard it in whispers before it was broached to him."About my director, isn't it? " he asked Laila."That's a fuck up, mehn." David damned him."So, did he die?" Laila questioned and doubled her question, "Was he at our wedding?" she asked, in a bid to screw out something. Dr. Pat, being alive was not good at all. O Gosh! She jigged her fist and David said, "Yeah, he attended
Dr. Pat was the man who kissed LailaLooking at the picture, Laila asked," What could be the partner's grouse?""Who knows! The same thing I asked," said David."Anything other than love?" asked Laila." Men, who could not control their libido." she stared back at David." Well. He said if he recovers, he will visit. Then, we will know." said David."You seem to have interest in the matter." Laila said."A CEO! Peeping into the affairs of his workers ." She taunted David."Oh. I did not see it that way," said David. Though, he understood Laila's viewpoint, his being an extrovert was humane. He did not grow up knowing what is gossip or wickedness. As a young man, 27, born with a silver spoon, he had never been worried or lived in an environment of wrangling. He was just learning the tropes now, which is why he procrastinates, or it seems he is weak on Laila. Laila crossed her leg over him and one thing led to another. There was a display of affection. A long kiss.He does not hate her
