"Oh my God," Alethea said again with a hiccup following the exclamation."Hello I am Joshua and I am here looking for Ms. Aletta. Is this where she lives?" he asked her.She suddenly snapped as if she was under a spell and had just been released. "I know you, everyone in the city knows you" she whispered but he could make out what she said."I am looking for Ms. Aletta?" he said again trying to make sure she heard him."So Aletta was not lying about you?" she blurted out without thinking."Is she home?" he asked again."Oh my goodness, pardon my manners. I should let you in" she said pulling the door wide and stepping aside.Joshua took a minute to think deeply. Should he really be going in here? He did not know how Aletta might react to seeing him here but he was worried about her and that should justify his reason for coming here.He stepped in and walked a bit inside to reveal the apartment. Of course, compared to his house this was a minute fraction but he loved how cosy it felt f
"Well hello to you too," Joshua said with a smile."What are you doing here?" she said bringing down her voice like she did not want anyone to hear her."To see you" "Why? you could have called me" "Well you were not returning my text so I had to check if you were okay" "Errm, so as not to interrupt the love in the air" Alethea cut through their conversation with a sly expression on her face. "I will go to my room now" She began to walk towards her room and then turned back to face Joshua. "It was really lovely meeting you" "I hope we can meet more in the future and more freely," Joshua said.The statement made Alethea's eyes glisten with glee and she smiled and replied "I hope so too. Have a loving time" she said with a wink and then entered her room."I was so busy" she said realising that she had indeed not sent her phone all evening."With what?" he asked peering behind her into his open room."Just some personal work" she said pulling the knob of her door to shut it to stop
Anette entered the house and threw her bag to the floor. She screamed out loud and it made her mom rush from the kitchen where she was to the living room."What is it pumpkin pie?" she asked rushing to her daughter. She picked up the bag from the ground and dusted it with her hands. "Why are you manhandling your designers?" she followed up dropping the bag to the chair."Do you care about the bag that much?" Anette asked feeling rage coming over her."No, what are you talking about? I know how much you love that bag and how sad you would be if you spoiled it now" Leslie explained. "What got you in such a foul mood?" "Joshua" "Joshua? Did you two fight?" Leslie asked. "Oh, I am sure you would make up in no time. You two were always joined by the hip since birth" she added and it made Anette even more mad than she should be."He humiliated me in front of the whole party," Anette said."What do you mean by that? Joshua had always been so sweet to you, I doubt he would do such a thing t
Alethea comes out of her room and stops in her tracks at the sight of the scene in front of her. She could not help but gulp and hiccup at once following her eyes widening in shock."He spent the night here?" she murmured to herself before she went closer to the couch. She shook Aletta gently who was resting so peacefully in the arms of Joshua.If they knew that they wanted to do something like this why couldn't they do this in her room? "Aletta" she whispered trying her best not to wake Joshua up.Aletta stirred in her sleep and turned to face Alethea. All she could see were the legs of her sister."What is happening? Where am I?" Aletta muttered with sleep in her voice. "You are in the living room sleeping so peacefully in the arms of your boyfriend" Alethea bent to her ear level and whispered gently into them. She did not want to wake him up yet because she was interested in her sister's reaction first."What?" Aletta screamed out loud when her brain finally put together the whole
"I will get started with breakfast" Alethea said walking out. As much as she wanted to stare at him all day she knew that she had to excuse them at that moment."How did you end up sleeping here? You said you were going to go after the tea" Aletta asked sitting beside him."I was going to go but you looked so beautiful as you slept I had no choice but to watch you" "Did I snore or grind my teeth?" she asked in a gasp her hand going over her mouth.Joshua shrugged with a smirk across his face. "I did didn't I?" she asked with an expression of terror."Wouldn't they be trying to reach you?" "Who?" Joshua asked."Did you forget about your family?" Aletta said and something began to vibrate. Joshua took up his phone and waved it in his face. Mom was written across the screen."I guess you are right" he muttered before picking up the phone and standing up to walk a distance away from her."Hello Mom" "I thought you were intentionally ignoring everyone at home. Even Angel tried to reach
"Ms Alethea I must say you are a very good cook" Joshua commented as he took the last bite out of his toast and eggs. He took the cup of coffee to his mouth and downed the whole cup in a go."As good as your mom?" Alethea asked." Alethea" Aletta said in a scolding voice before she turned to Joshua. "Sorry about that she likes to joke about everything" "Of course, I was just joking," Alethea said with an eye roll."Well I guess you might be able to give her a run for her money" Joshua said and it brought a smile to Alethea's face."I must say I like you more than Aletta" she said and Joshua felt delighted. With the two sisters, he seemed relaxed and comfortable it was so strange for him."I do appreciate that Ms. Alethea" "Wait why do you call me miss?" Alethea asked her eyebrow going up to her hairline."Aren't you a miss?" he asked and she opened her mouth and closed it multiple times. She did not know how well to tackle that."You also call Aletta miss don't you?" she finally sai
Aletta had suddenly become the third wheel and Alethea and Joshua were now busy sharing interest and discussion. Aletta had washed down the whole dishes and pots used by her sister in making the breakfast while both of them moved to the living room to continue with their supposed important discussion. Aletta had also cleaned up the kitchen. Doing the house chores made her feel a bit happy because it had been a while since she did tasks like that."Aren't you going to go home?" Aletta asked pulling out the throw pillow away from his buttock making him shake a little and throw her an uncomfortable look."Can't you see that I am discussing with him?" Alethea asked crossing her hand across her chest annoyed that her conversation was being interrupted."I can see that but I am sure he might have a lot of personal things to do today and he needs to go home. He hasn't been there since last night" he said pushing him to his feet from the couch."Why are you so eager to see me go?" he asked s
Aletta had not expected those words from his mouth and to be honest they did ignite a few butterflies in her stomach. She cleared her throat and pushed him off of her."Time to go" she said pushing him out the door. The can she had called for him was already waiting outside the door so he hurried into it and then slipped into it. So as not to expose himself further he told the car to drop him somewhere around his house and Jack was going to get him up from there."I can not believe you actually spent the night out of the house. You were always such a good and model example." Jeanne said shaking her head as her brother walked into the kitchen."Why? I like it. It seems like my son is finally growing up" Jessica said closing the refrigerator and turning to face him. "So when are you going to introduce her to us?" Jessica followed up with the question."Whenever she is ready" Joshua said taking up a glass from the counter and walking to the refrigerator. "I wonder what she is like?" Je
