Linda walked out of her room and met her family, discussing and laughing happily. Mary was there, too. She was seated beside Catherine on a couch, while James was seated on the other couch that faced them. Linda stood by the stairs watching them. There was something about the way they were laughing so excitedly. Mary seemed to be telling them about something that happened in their neighborhood, and they were all engrossed in it, and they didn't notice that someone else had joined them. "The way he stood there staring at her as though his whole life depended on it with his mouth open widely. Then, the next minute, we saw him begging the woman who offended him and had come there to ask for his forgiveness." Mary paused for a while and had a good laugh. "I'm sorry for making you cheat on me, I'm sorry for making you hurt me..."By this time, Catherine and James were already on the floor laughing so loudly. "I'm sure you both know that those were not his exact words, but at least th
It's been like two days after Natasha's birthday party and Henry still found himself unable to stop thinking about her. Whenever he was about to concentrate on his work, he managed to find himself thinking about her. He just couldn't get the image of Natasha's face off his mind.The thought of how she had looked in her birthday dress had refused to leave his head and had left him in stitches ever since two nights ago. He could not help but wonder why he had been thinking about her so much. It was certainly not that he was in love with her, right? He didn't have feelings for her, right?Then why did he go out of his way to get her such a gift for her birthday in order to impress her?Henry slapped himself on his forehead.There was no freaking way he was trying to impress her, of course not. How could he even think that way?The only reason he gave her that gift was because he felt bad for her. The way she had spoken so emotionally about how her birthdays were never about her and how s
Natasha must have woken up from the good side of the bed that morning because she seemed exceptionally in a good mood.Especially as one of the first things her eyes caught was the teddy bear sitting by her bed. It had been among the birthday packages Henry had sent to her and she could not help but blush at the thought of it. She could not help but wonder what could have inspired him to give her those gifts.As Natasha got out of bed, she had a slight smile on her face, then she remembered that she had not gotten the chance to thank Henry properly for the gift after her birthday party.She knew she had thanked him at the party, but she didn't think that was enough. She made up her mind that she would find the time to do it.This was the third day after her birthday party and she had taken a very short break from going to the office with the approval of her parents. She could hardly describe it as taking a break from work since she was still working from home. But it felt good to not
Linda and Mary strolled around the mall as they picked clothes for Linda. Mary saw something alluring and grabbed it immediately. "Linda, come over!" She called out with a smile. Linda rushed towards Mary. She met Mary holding up a long gown with a very long slit on front and no arms. "What the fuck is this?" Linda asked as she stared at the boob part of the dress. It was very low. She knew it would barely cover her boobs. "I'll only be able to wear this to dates and night parties. I can not wear this to visit Henry randomly or even go to his office."Mary frowned deeply. She was tired of having her friend behave like she was a child. "You are not underage for god sake!" Mary slapped her forehead. She pulled Linda forcefully into the dressing room and made her wear the dress. It was perfect for Linda. Her hips and every other curve were very visible. Linda stared down at her boobs, and just as she thought, it was barely covered. The slit was up to her thigh, and it revealed a
"If I notice for one that you are doing something else, Ava," Benedict threatened. Ava hissed. Shs stood up to her feet and walked towards his table. They were both seated in his study. While he was behind the table, she sat on the couch there listening to him speak. There was a bowl in front of Benedict, and there were two apples in the bowl. Ava picked one of the apples and walked back to the couch. Shs settled back on the couch, and bit from the apple, and faced Mr Benedict again. "What makes you think I'm doing something else? Why can't you just trust me?" She questioned. Benedict stood up from the chair. He felt like the table in front of him was blocking him from Ava. He grabbed the chair after the table and pulled it towards the couch. He sat on it and faced her. "Are you really not doing something else?" He asked and grabbed Ava by her jaw. She slapped his hands off. "I wouldn't be here if I'd decided to breach the agreement," Ava told Benedict. "I don't know why you s
Henry's eyes widened as soon as his eyes met with that of Natasha whose eyes were equally a bit lowered at the sight of him.What was she doing in his house? Why did she come here?Natasha's presence in Henry's house was so worrisome to him and he couldn't stop questioning why she was there. But more worrisome to him was the fact that his heart couldn't stop beating fast at the sight of her. He was sure it was not fear, neither was it anger. But why was he feeling that way at the sight of her? Henry hated the idea that was coming into his head and he immediately brushed it off.'Why are you here?' Henry wanted to ask but he immediately got rid of the thought. He knew it would be rude to ask that so he remained quiet instead."Uhmm... Are you here to see my mother?" Henry asked, struggling to keep his voice steady."No, I'm here for you." Natasha said, wearing an anxious smile on her face.Henry swallowed hard and dismissed the maid who was standing there.He raised his eyebrows while
On her way back home, Natasha asked the driver to stop by the cosmetic shop so that she could get some cosmetics for herself. She knew she would have asked one of her maids to get it for her later, but she chose to get it since she was passing by that way anyway.When she was done shopping, she went over to the cashier to pay when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.She turned around to see the unfamiliar face of a guy staring back at her with a smile on his face.'Who could he be?' Natasha asked herself inwardly since she could not recognise him."I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Natasha asked with her brows raised.The young man shook his head slowly, he still had a bright smile on his face."Actually, we've not met and I wasn't expecting you to know me. It's just that, I had been watching you from a distance all the while when you were shopping. I must confess that you are really beautiful and I thought that I needed to get familiar with you." He muttered.Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Coffee or tea?" Henry asked Ava, who was seated at the front seat of his car. She turned to him with a smile. "I'd rather we eat something slightly heavy. I don't want to drink," she responded. He nodded his head and continued driving. They stopped at a small restaurant that was not too far from Henry's office. When they alighted from the car, Ava looked around the place as though she wasn't comfortable. "They have very nice food here," he told her to make her feel relaxed. He didn't want to go to a fancy restaurant with Ava because he was scared that they would bump into Natasha there. He didn't know why he was thinking too much about her, and also considering her feelings. He wouldn't have agreed to eat out with Ava if he hadn't promised her earlier. Henry was not someone who played with his promises. I again had to remind myself that there was nothing serious going on with either of them, so it was pointless for him to feel this way. They got into the restaurant, and they b
