100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 24
The day has finally arrived, my wedding day, it felt really weird saying it, felt really weird thinking it and just living it was almost fictional. The fact that everyone was out there waiting for me only increased my anxiety the more. I could barely sleep last night, I was up filled with thoughts.Last night Gideon had gone out with his friends for a little bachelorette party they were throwing him, while Lily and Olivia had come over for some ladies time. "Oh, Lily I've got chills." I finally voiced out. "They're multiplying!" she replied in a singsong voice. "And I'm losing control, cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying. Sing along babe!""No Lily stop." Palming my head, sometimes I ask myself where how she ever got to be my best friend. "I am not singing the song. I really have got chills. I can feel all the hairs on my skin standing, I've got cold feet.""Oh, you're serious." She got up from the chair which she had been sitting on by the door and walked over to me

"He has my looks," Gideon whispered in my ears as we looked down at our sleeping child."He has my nose," I said back with a chuckle."He has my mouth!" Lily who was sitting at a corner in the room said in between mouthful of popcorn. "What?" she asked as we turned to look at her. "It's true." she rolled her eyes. "Fine, I will give you guys space, but I'll be back in five minutes to hold my godson.""Yes ma," I teased laughing as she stormed out the room, her elbows swinging. I turned to Gideon once Lily was out. "You know, we still haven't decided on a name.""That's right," A mischievous look came on his face. "How about Timothee?""Lord no." I was not going to name my child after Ciara's imaginary boyfriend, if it wasn't the case, Timothee was actually a really cute name I would have considered. Speaking of Ciara, she had finally decided to move on after the wedding, Gideon told me she had decided to go live with a friend in California, to be honest, I do wish her the best, I hope

Their son Rayn was almost clocking a year now. The past months have been a joy ride, more than she ever imagined she would be living, but they have also been little bumps here and there."You know he's started going to the office every day... he'll be back soon though. Why do you ask, need his help with something?" It was her mum, who had phoned that morning."No, not at all," she said. "I just...holding a party to celebrate the opening of the new shop. I was wondering if you two will be able to make it, but if Gideon is busy, it will be nice if you showed up.""Of course. I mean, it's not like I have somewhere to be. I'll be there with Rayn.""Great. I should go now, your father's having a little trouble in the garden. Uh...things are going well over there right?""Of course, everything is fine. Gideon h

Emmalia sighed in frustration, placing the tin back. "Rayn they don't have your milk here... we'll have to visit yet another store." He let out a little burp as a response, but honestly, it looked like he couldn't care less the type of milk his mother bought. "Come on, we have to get home and help your aunt Estelle before your father arrives." Gideon didn't like her doing chores since she dedicated all her time to the table, he hired a young lady who came every day. She helped with the shopping and dishes, whole Emmalia took care of Rayn, but today she had decided to have a little exercise and went out shopping herself."Do you need help with that?" The driver who had been following her around asked, referring to the stroller she was struggling to push. It wasn't a problem for her at first, but she really bought lots of unnecessary things that she may never use and soon she had a mountain of goods before her. "Eh...you take care of the little boy, I'll handle this.""Thank you," she s

"He's still not answering his calls?" Estelle asked, watching a pacing Emmalia from where she sat, rocking Rayn to sleep."No, still no answer," she told her. "Gideon promised that he would be home early today. He said he was finishing up with work and will be home early, so what's holding him back?""Calm down, maybe he had something to finish up at work, he'll be back soon-" She paused Emmalia raised her hand."Hey, it's me...I wanted to ask, is my husband still in his office? My husband? My husband is your boss...Mr. Brynch!" Emmalia snapped after the secretary kept asking her questions which only provoked her. "This is Emmalia speaking," she said, this time in a much gentler tone. "He already left? When?" Her tone went back to its high pitch. "Hours ago? Ok, thank you...No, no problem, it's fine." After that, she ended the call, an annoyed look on her face."Is he on his way home?" Estelle asked."I don't know." Emmalia shrugged. "But I doubt it. According to his secretary, he lef

"No, I can't, sorry.""Come on Emmalia, we're just going to get our nails done and have a good time. I'm not asking you to run away with me to Mars." It's been two weeks since Emmalia ran into Judy, and they had been talking since then. They had become close friends, and with Lily away, Judy was becoming the closest thing Emmalia now had to a best friend. That afternoon, Judy decided to visit and wasn't planning on leaving till she had successfully dragged Emmalia out of the house. "You could bring your son if you want, or you could just leave him with Estelle. You have to let little Rayn learn to live on his own. If you keep sticking to him like glue, what then will happen when he finally goes to school. He is going to be so used to being with you, it would be hard for him to cope with the new surrounding, you have to start now.""OK, I guess you're right," Emmalia said. "I'll tell Estelle we are going out. Rayn is asleep at the moment, so everything should be fine.""Exactly...what

" the plump attendant added handing over the package to Judy who smiled and left the store. 'I can't wait to put it on for Gideon. ' she thought. 'He loves red, I'll give him red. ' she muttered to herself. "Come in. The door is open. " Judy replied after her door bell rang. It was few minutes past 10pm. She had just taken a bath and had a robe around her. "I've been expecting you. " she told her guest who crashed into her sofa. "I had a long day. At last I am here. " he replied after giving out a loud groan.

She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar.

Gideon walked into the office that morning smiling like a high school boy who had just fallen in love. He greeted everyone he came in contact with that morning which his members of staff found shocking. During the usual weekly briefing they have in the office on mondays, Gideon kept smiling throughout the whole period and his staff wondered whether he had found new replacements for the business partners who pulled out. While the weekly briefing was ongoing, Gideon kept thinking about his dance with Emma and the jokes they cracked last night. He was glad she had forgiven him. After he returned back to his office, Gideon made up his mind to invite Emma for lunch in a restaurant of her choice. What if she thinks he was flirting with her? he thought but still decided to try his luck. Meanwhike in the main head office of LIA'S bars, Emma was having goose bumps.

After the event at the museum, Gideon accompanied Emma to her car and waved at her. Then, he got into his car and his driver Mel took him home. In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded.

After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir.

"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car
