'Let's have a date today after work'

Aletta looked down at her screen. Why was Joshua texting her while they were both sitting in the meeting? He could tell her whatever personal matter he wanted to say when they left this place.

She looked up to see him staring at her. She bent back to her phone and tapped away.

'You could have waited till we leave here to say this, what if someone sees your text?' she sent it to him and raised her and caught his eyes. She bent her head again and tapped on her screen.

'And stop staring, you are making it obvious'

'I can't stop it, you are just too beautiful' Joshua typed back.

She looked at the message and a blush almost broke out on her face. 'Please stop it, we are at work and I need to take minutes but you are distracting me so much' she sent it to him including the cringe emoji.

'So are we having the date?'

'Yes'

'That's good, now I can listen' He dropped his p

    "But?" he said again turning to face her. He was glad he had left the blinds of his office down when they had gone for the meeting. He knew that the staff would be trying to see through what was going on."That's the way you had always been, always so stuck up and rejecting ideas, it was real difficult to be working with you," she said."Wow," he said at a loss for any more words. "I mean I expected this from everyone but not from you" he said and she laughed."Mr Delgado," she said and then shook her head. "Joshua, I was just telling the truth" "Wait what did you just call me?" "Joshua" she said looking as deadpan as she could."You know that when you call my name like that I feel helpless" "What?" she said bursting into a fits of laughter."I don't know it sounds kinda like music to my ears" he adds walking to her slowly."What are you doing?" she said with a shudder as his hands gripped her waist

    Three women rushed to Aletta's table with a smile on their faces."Ms Brunswick," one of the women said touching her hand lightly."How can I help you?" she asked sounding as professional as possible."You are the best at your job," another woman said with a giggle. "I don't think I would have been able to survive Mr. Delgado" she added.Aletta's eyes went up to see Joshua standing there. He placed his finger over his mouth as if to gesture that she be quiet so he could hear what she had to say."I have to do my salary's worth" she said and both of the women nodded."But today was such a good day, I mean he approved our idea without giving us a single stress" the third woman spoke up with glee."And so we want to go out for a company dinner to celebrate this" the first girl continued from where the first woman started."You are joining us right?" the three of them chorused blinking and acting cutely to her.

    "Your cheeks must be hurting," Aletta said as they drove out of the parking lot. She had insisted that she drive so they don't spark up any rumours."Why?" Joshua asked turning to her."You have been smiling nonstop, Are you that happy?" Aletta asked. "Of course, I am so happy that I don't think you would be able to understand my joy, I mean you picked me over those ladies and even mentioned that you had a date" "But I did have a date," she said with a fit of giggles."I know but hearing you say it gives me some kind of confidence I did not know that I needed" he said holding her free hand from the wheel."I don't know what to say so I won't be saying anything" Aletta said as she merged into the express. "So what plans do you have for us?" she asked him.He smiled as he took her hands to his lips and planted a lingering kiss on them. "Where are we going?" she asked trying her best to ignore the butterfly ward he had be

    "So who is going to go in there to pick up the food?" Aletta asked.They had parked a few meters from the front of the restaurant and had been talking for a few minutes about who was going to go up to the restaurant to pick it up."You should go, I am too popular to be seen up and about and by this time around this part of the city too" Joshua defended. If he was being honest he just did not want to leave the car because it was chilly outside and he wanted her out of the car so he could take over the driver's seat."You should go since you are the man, Are you going to let a little girl pick up your dinner?" she said blinking multiple times trying to act cute."You made a valid point but I don't think the term little girl applies to you, you are always so independent it would be hard to convince anyone to help you out with anything," Joshua said back."You know what?" Aletta asked clapping her hands in the air. He turned his att

    Joshua came back some minutes later with a plastic bag containing their order."What took you so long?" Aletta asked as he entered the car. He has not spent a long time there but she wanted to tease him so badly."Oh well you know, the people there recognized me as their saviour so to escape I had to do this whole signing event" Joshua said sarcastically."Sarcastic much," Aletta said starting the car."That's what you get for teasing me" "I did not tease you, I only asked an honest question" "Should we take our time from work and go camping?" Joshua asked suddenly out of the blue. "Camping? Out in the woods?" "Yeah camping" Joshua said like he wondering why she was explaining what camping meant to him."Have you ever been camping before?" Aletta asked."You really do think I haven't done a lot of things because of my status right?" Joshua asked and Aletta looked out the window in embarrass

    "What is this an interview? Why are your questions so formal" Joshua asked and Aletta glared at him."What do you mean formal? I just wanted to get to know you, is that a bad thing?" she countered with a question."It's not a bad thing but I sense you are going somewhere, what do you want to know?" "Nothing" her voice came out squeaky and loud as if she was hiding something from him."Now you are even more suspicious" he said and she laughed."Okay let's get serious now" she said and he nodded."Is this about Paul?" he asked and she nodded. She wondered how he was able to decipher that without her saying a word."I thought as much, did Alethea later tell you about him?" he asked and she nodded again."It seems like he is hovering over me but I want you to know I have never kept in touch with him. This is the first time I am hearing from him in five years" she rambled.He chuckled. "You are laughing?" s

    "I don't want to let go" Joshua murmured.Aletta peeled herself from his grip that he called a hug and smiled at his face. "Do you want to come in?" she asked and his face lit up in a bright smile. "Can I?" "Of course," she said with a nod."Wait what of your mom? Doesn't she share a room with you?" "What does that have to do with you coming in?" she asked confused."Wait aren't you asking me to spend the night here?" he asked and her eyes went open with extreme shock."What are you saying?" she asked hitting his chest" playfully."I can swear that I saw your eyes saying those exact words when you looked at me," he told her as he tilted his head."I was only inviting you in for coffee okay only coffee" she said."But it's so late at night why do we need coffee?" "We can take decaf" she explained and his mouth went into an oh shape as if he had not thought about that before now.

    "Is every one asleep?" Aletta whispered as they say in the car watching the silent house. All the lights inside the house were switched off and the house looked peaceful.She has given in to Joshua's pestering. He has somehow managed to convince her to pack a bag and go with him. His smug expression showed that he was glad he won. Aletta wanted to be here but she was not sure if she should. They had announced their relationship only two nights ago what would his parents think when they see her there? "Of course, it's past two am" Joshua whispered back taking her hand. "Let me just go back, I don't want to wake anyone" Aletta continued in a whisper."You can't go back on your word, you already promised to spend the night with me" Joshua whispered back squeezing her hand. "But why are we whispering?" he asked and his eyes went wide."Because" she began and stopped because she did not know what to say. Joshua raised his eyebrow as if to mo

"Joshua you know I do not like being late for any of these events" Aletta screamed back at him. Altetta paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
