Anette was jittery, she had called her dad home because she said to had good news to share. Brian had promised to be there for his little girl. He had seen the news and was quite well-informed on what was going on.Andrew also played a big role in telling him all that was going on. He knew that his daughter was in a real relationship with Richard and that Leslie was not having any of it. Anette planned a mini buffet with a company and then had it delivered to her house. "There must be some good news," Andrew said as he sat down at the table. He was the first one to say anything since they got to the table. Leslie and Brian said not a word but we were shooting bullets out of their eyes and the tension between them was unbearable."Yes I have good news" she squealed."What is it honey, you seem quite excited" Leslie asked. She hoped her daughter had come to her senses and had allowed Joshua back into her mind and brain."You know I had been sick so I went to the hospital" "I am not su
"Who is the father?" Leslie asked again slamming her fist on the table."I don't think that question is what should follow, I think the right question to ask is if she wants to keep the baby" Brian said with spite in his voice.He could not believe that he thought Leslie was a good person and then he spent this whole time living with her just to discover that she just had an evil agenda hidden in her sleeves."I need to know who the father is so I can know what next to do" Leslie said with gritted teeth."The father is Richard and yes Daddy I would like to have the child. Richard is aware already and he wants the baby. Maybe even more than I do" she said rubbing her stomach fondly. "Oh well I guess that's good" Andrew said.The entire table was startled once again when Leslie stood up slamming her fist to the table again. She gritted her teeth and pushed her chair back."We need to make the baby Joshua's" "What?" Brian said shocked that the spoon in his hand fell to his plate."Anet
"So what did they say?" "Don't get me started" Anette said taking the phone away from her ears. She put it on a loudspeaker before dropping it to the bed. "With what?" Richard asked. She had told him that she would get to her parents and then feed him back what they said."Mom was hysterical. She keeps claiming that I am ruining my life by not going to Joshua, but what she does not understand is that Joshua is with another woman and for reasons I can't place my hands on I am no longer interested in him. I wish she would just stop being so obsessed with Joshua and his family" she said."Calm down," Richard said. He had noticed that her voice had gone up and she was almost screaming."I am sorry, it's just that the whole situation is getting as annoying as it can get," she said and let out a fry laugh. "When I thought it could not get worse with her, I realized that I was wrong" she added."I am sure she just wants what's best for you" Richard tried to make sense of the situation. He
Anette stood at the entrance to Joshua's office. The foolishness she had displayed over the past few months flashed before her eyes as she gulped down the bitterness she felt in her throat. She was not sure if Joshua would see her but she knew that she had to try. She would not feel good if she did not at least try to make amends. Richard had made a small proposal for her in the last week and they were currently planning the party.Leslie was still very against the entire situation but there was little she could do except plit within herself. Anette was there to invite them to the engagement party.Richard had told her that her mom would find it difficult to do anything suspicious with Joshua if she managed to invite him to the party. She saw the sense in what he had said but after standing in front of his office for thirty minutes she was not sure if she could do it.She heard her phone ring in her pocket. She took it out and tried to avoid the stares of the security guards. They al
As Anette walked the walls she tried her best to be as confident as she had been in time past. She stopped at Aletta's desk and tapped her hands lightly to draw the attention of Aletta who seemed deeply buried in whatever it was she had in front of her.Aletta's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost and she stood up pushing her chair back. "Ms... Anette" Aletta stuttered trying to remain calm.She was not sure of the right way to address her so she stuttered. Anette pressed her lips into a straight line and stared at her."I am here to see Joshua," she said silently.Aletta could not tell how she knew but there was a strange kind of air around her. It was not like she was there for trouble or any of its sorts."Let me check with Mr Delgado if he will be receiving any guests today," Aletta said taking up the receivers.Anette's hand grabbed her hands and her eyes glistened. "Please, I am here to apologize" she said and Aletta gently dropped the receiver to the table."If you asked hi
"There are no words I can use to describe how much of a nuisance I have been over the past few years" Anette started. Her head was hung low as she fiddled with her hands. She did not want to look up in case she could not find it within her to complete what she had started."Tell me about it," Jeanne said. She was not interested in giving her the satisfaction of apologizing and getting away with it just so easily."And I have done so many questionable things but I only did it because I thought I was doing the right thing" She wanted so badly to point fingers at her mom but she knew that doing that now would make her seem shallow and not as remorseful as she was supposed to be."I am here" she started raising her head to meet the gazes of the people in front of her. "this morning to say I am sorry for everything, for spreading rumours and lies, for using Jeanne to gain popularity, for pushing forward with my relationship with Joshua even though I know that he was not interested in me,"
Anette had successfully invited them to her party and she left feeling a lot lighter than she felt when walking in the building."Can you believe that?" Jeanne asked as she stood up from the sofa dusting her hands on her clothes."Miracles do exist" Anette said following her up and both of them walking to the door."Aletta, are you just going to leave like that?" Joshua called making both ladies turn around to face him."Yeah, why not? I have to get back to work" Aletta said like it was an obvious fact he was supposed to know."Aren't you going to stay for a cup of tea?" Joshua sounded as nervous as he could be. Aletta was unable to decipher his emotions from his face."I know a request to get lost when I see one" Jeanne said pushing the door open with a smirk on her face. She stood in the doorway using her body to keep the door open. "We are at work so keep it rated for kids okay," she said and closed the door in a hurry before any of them could say anything in response. "You want t
Aletta found her mind wandering to Anette, she wondered how she felt telling others she was getting married. The idea of marriage had always been a no-go area for her as she had decided for a long time now not to get married.She occasionally had feelings of jealousy when she saw her high school and college mates get married but they only lasted for a while because she had a strong will and prejudice against marriage."I wonder how she feels about getting married" she murmured to herself as she tried to bring herself back to her work.If she could tell someone how she felt she would let them know that she did not feel good about the fact that someone who tried so hard to ruin her relationship was getting such a clean finish while she was still unsure about marriage.She had always been sure about her choice but these days when she looked at Joshua she always had a series of what-ifs. She wanted to know what it might feel like to get to call another person a husband and what it might b
