Karin, a woman in her late twenties wants to prove to everyone that she's not all work, boring and plain but she needs to hatch a convincing plan to pull this through. Will she succeed in her quest to prove that she has a romantic side to her? Johan on the other hand believes he can no longer fall in love again but is ready to prove to the "love of his life" that he is ready to go all the way with someone he deeply cares about. Karin falls in love with Johan but is scared of being rejected; while Johan is unsure of what he feels for Karin, could it be love?
View MoreKarin debates joining Johan in the shower, she doesn't want to look desperate for sex, hell she's not sure it's gonna even happen but she is dieing to experience how it'll feel like to have Johan make love to her.She drags one of her suitcase towards the bed, places it on the bed and opens it. Carefully picks out a set of pearly white sexy lingerie, places it on the bed and then decides right there to unpack when she's up to it. She picks the smallest suitcase containing her toiletries, essential body oils, body cream, makeup and perfumes and walks towards the bathroom,with her lingerie over her arm, she opens the door and walks in.Johan walks out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around his waist and another hanging around his shoulders, as he dries his wet hair when Karin walked in. He stops drying his hair and looks at her looking at him, his emotions masked but he can see raw desire in her eyes. He clears his throat briefly; "Hi, I'm done here, hope I didn't keep you waiting."
Karin's shoulders slump, feeling like the worst person on earth at the moment. How could she not have known that Johan wouldn't miss the tiniest details when it comes to her or anyone at all? He's the most detailed person she has ever known and now she has messed up the jovial atmosphere they were both enjoying earlier. Thumbs up to the number one person to ruin special moments.She sighs, shoulders still slumped and her head hanging low, she holds her gown at the sides of her hips, raising it a little, she decides to take a walk outside until she's exhausted, so she can sleep immediately her head lands on the pillow.She begins to turn but stops short when a strong hand grips her shoulder. Looking up, there was no way she could miss the concerned look in Johan's eyes.Johan pulls her a little close, turning her to face him again, before breathing out through his mouth to calm himself. "I'm sorry for being harsh and since I'm not you, I can't really understand how you're feeling." He
It's been raining before daybreak and it doesn't look to be easing at all.How Karin and her family managed to get into the Rolls Royce Johan had sent to pick them without a single drop of rain on any part of their bodies is a wonder. The chauffeur is darn good at his job, no wonder he works for Johan.The interior of the Rolls Royce is exquisite; 'I must say that I have me a man who can impress and spot on on details. I'm a lucky woman.' She thinks to herself.None of them have been in a Rolls Royce before, Andrew is grinning from ear to ear, undoubtedly impressed by Johan's gesture. Ella is somewhat impressed too but also withdrawn. Guess the reality of her failed relationship hits harder today being Karin's day.Karin reaches out to her, and squeeze her free hand gently whispering "I love you!" to her. She smiles and relaxes.The rain accompanied Karin and her family to the registry, pounding on the roof of the Rolls Royce as the driver found a spot and parks. Her phone starts buz
Ella tense up, speaking softly "Do you think it's him? Henrik I mean. He couldn't have followed me here right?" Her eyes focused on the door as well.Karin shrugs and returns the donut she was holding back to its cradle. "Well, I don't have a clue, unless we find out." She holds her breath "Who's there please?" She calls out, wondering who would require her attention at this time of the day."It's Dad girls! I saw Ella's car parked by the entrance and I need to see her, talk to her right now." Their father retorted.They both breathe out at the same time, looks of relief crossing their features.Karin quickly goes to open the door to let him in. "Hi Dad! What's the matter?" She hugs him briefly.He returns her hug but his attention shifts to Ella, his younger daughter who is not far behind her sister. He forces a smile "Are you alright Elly?" Using her pet name.Ella tear up, her lips wobbling and her shoulders begin to shake as another dam of tears give way.Andrew withdraws from Kar
Karin pauses on recognizing the voice. She turns slowly towards the direction the voice came from and to her astonishment she sees Henrik, her to soon be brother in-law.Her eyes widen as she forces herself to smile at him. 'What is he doing here, she mentally asks herself?' She takes some steps away from the exit door so as not to obstruct others from leaving and assuming Johan is right behind her, but when she doesn't feel his presence, she turns around and finds him rooted to his spot, an unreadable look in his eyes, his hands hanging at his sides.Karin extends her right hand to him, her gaze unwavering. "Johan come let me introduce you to my sister's fiance, he won't bite." She coos to him.Johan chuckles mildly. "You can't be serious Karin dear. Besides, he can't, I'm way above his league." He looks at Henrik briefly and back at Karin. "I sincerely thought he's a friend and you won't need my input in your conversation, that's why I remained on my spot." He closes the distance be
Karin wakes up on her bed smiling. This has become the norm for her lately and everything felt surreal. She will be getting married in two days in a simple ceremony involving her family and Johan's closest friends Eric and Chadwick. He told her he'd be introducing her to his family when he feels it's alright to. His statement had alarm bells ringing in my head, with all manner of 'what ifs' threatening to throw me over the edge, in-fact, I almost passed out, had he not specifically calmed me to trust his instincts because that's how he relates with his half siblings.She sits up and folds her legs, today is her final fitting and she has Johan to thank for convincing her father. He had told her he wasn't going to hide anything from him, and he hopes he'd fall in love with her before their agreement ended. Left to her, she'd have married him and dropped the bomb on them during Ella's wedding. Thank goodness he has more empathy than her.Karin picks a scrunchy from the bedside drawer and
Karin comes out of the bathroom changed. She doesn't see Yohan any where in sight and wonders what he could be up to.She decides to feed her eyes with the way his studio is arranged, not ready to go look for him. She walks towards a stack of papers on a stool and looks through them hoping she wasn't overstepping any boundary.She takes a look at the first picture and is captivated by the shot. Her eyes are transfixed on the woman in the picture, there's something about the look of the woman that enraptures you; she can't believe she could be mesmerized by another female. She smiles to herself and shakes her head a little hard, as if ridding herself of thoughts she's not ready to explore.Moving on, she flips the pictures, scrutinizing each and blown away by Johan's handiwork. The pictures are nice, like really nice but is the monochrome doing them justice? The models look beautiful, all having similar features, how would they look in colour though, their eyes and hair colour she thin
Karin walks towards the kitchen but stops short when she caught a glimpse of the dinning room.The room is dimly lit, two lighted candles at the centre of the table, and just two chairs at both ends of the dinning table.She smiles to her eyes, this man is out to impress me tonight, she thinks to herself, still smiling, "let's go see what we'll be eating tonight" she says out loud. She turns to continue her journey to the kitchen but sees Johan approaching with a bowl of white rice. He's taken off his jacket and now has a blue apron over his crisp white shirt.She steps aside to allow him gain access to the dinning room, and watch him go in, following in his wake. "What you have there smells delicious Johan! What did you cook the rice with, or could it be the aroma of the dressing that's coming off you?" She presses her hand against her flat stomach unabashedly, "I can't wait to dig in."He gently places it on the dinning table and turns around to look at her, smiling. "I hope you'll
Ella opens the door to her sister's room, she peeks inside and is wowed by her sister's reflection in the mirror. "Oh my word! You look breathtakingly beautiful Karin. How did you come to know all these tit bits in fashion?" She walks in and quietly shuts the door. "And it's of course my opinion." She says and roll her eyes upward before her sister could chime in. She perches by the edge of the bed, her eyes not leaving her sister for a second.She continues "When do you expect our mystery man?"Karin turns around to face her sister and smirks. "You think I look good? Give me your rating then." Taking the interest off Johan.Ella smiles to her eyes. "Not to be bias sis, I'll give you a 10. So tell me how you came to know all these tricks".Karin laughs a little. "I watched you and researced about some tips on the internet." She walks towards the bed and sits on her overstuffed stool to put on her cat's heel Hermes sling back pair of pointed shoes. "Do you think I should go casual? I'm
Ella sits across her big sister and smiles at her; "I know I've asked you several times but I guess I am not tired of asking, how do you do it?"Karin dressed in her favourite summer outfits, a pair of wide legged pants and sleeveless chiffon blouse, looks up from the proposal she was perusing at her beautiful sister. "Do what exactly Ella?"Ella sits up and place both arms on the office table separating them. "How do you live this routinous life of yours without getting bored?" Holding her sister's gaze she continues "I am worried that you'll be lonely after I move out; you won't have anyone walk into your room, make a mess of your closet and never return borrowed clothes." she smiles sheepishly "I am worried generally about your well-being because you don't have a social life."Karin drops the proposal in her hands and looks directly at her younger sister; "Ella, we've been through this before and I don't think it's fair to bring it up again. I should be the one asking why you aren'...
