"Hello Jeanne""I know you are in the arrival hall and my brother seems to be all over you like a child" Jeanne replied.Aletta looked around wondering how she knew that, her eyes landed on Jeanne and Thiago walking towards them. Aletta had enjoyed her trip so much that she did not want to leave but now that she was seeing familiar faces she could not help but be grateful to be back. "What are you doing here?" she screamed jumping on her."Here to pick you," Jeanne said patting her back and giving her brother a weird look before sticking out her tongue. "I will take you while Joshua has to learn a lesson by taking public transport" Jeanne added and both of them began a stare down."Really? You both are going to do this right here in the middle of the airport arrival terminal?" Thiago asked when neither of them moved. "Joshua" Aletta said shaking him. He looked at her and Jeanne clapped her hands in the air."I won" she sang triumphantly. Joshua gave Aletta a hard look and she threw
"So I thought I was meeting my brother and his girlfriend. I did not expect to see him with three other people" Nichole said as they sat at the table in the restaurant of the hotel that she was staying at.Ever since they sat down Jeanne could not hide her surprise. She sat on her hand to avoid anyone from seeing how nervous she was."Be nice" Thiago cautioned and Nichole rolled her eyes."I haven't even said anything yet. I prepared to meet two people but here I am meeting two more. What is this a fan meeting?" "Not everyone is your fan, I don't even think they have the liberty to know who you are" "I know who you are" Jeanne blurted and then her face went up in fear. She was not supposed to be all over her that way. She was supposed to be cool, composed and oh no she was freaking out. "Oh you do see that brother, your girlfriend knows me," Nichole said flashing her smile."You know me?" "Of course" Nichole leaned in and whispered. "I have seen your pictures and heard so much abo
"How do you know us well?" Joshua was curious as to how she knew their business so well. it would have been understandable that Thiago showed her pictures of Jeanne but why would he share his rumour with her?"The Delgado is much more popular than you think, the news of your girlfriend spread like wildfire" Nichole said."That makes sense" Aletta murmured with a nod.The news had so surrounded Delgado that the scandal still popped up once in a while and even showed on related news whenever there was a search. "And since Thiago told me his girlfriend was a Delgado I had to find out more about her" Nichole explained.The waiter came to their table a few moments later to take their orders, after a serious contemplation and back and forth between Thiago and Nichole they finally settled.They ordered and had the waiter bring out their meals. They spoke lightly over dinner and Aletta yawned a few times."I have never thought anyone would yawn while I speak" Nichole said with her mouth hang
"I feel so exhausted," Aletta said as she stood at her door."Why did you agree to go for dinner if you knew how you felt?" Joshua asked."I don't know, Jeanne has not really asked me for anything before so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do something for her" Aletta replied."Now you feel so exhausted you can barely keep your eyes open, let me be on my way so you can rest up" He went in for a hug and planted kisses on her hair. He was going to miss waking up to her every morning like he had done for the past few days. "I miss you already" "But I am still here" Aletta replied."Do you want to go to my house" "As much as I'd love to, I need to go home now, my mom and sister must be waiting for me. Maybe next time" she said and he frowned but he understood. "Okay then, I would only let you go if I got a kiss" he pouted and she did not hesitate before she planted a kiss on it. He kissed back and only pulled away when she did."I better get in before it's too late" she sai
TIME LEAP: TWO WEEKS Anette woke up with a pain in her guts, she had the same recurring pain for a week now and she had just about enough of it and gone ahead to book an appointment.She maybe thought she had contacted something for Richard. After the news broke of her and him she still somehow found herself going back to him time and time again.Her mother had been so worried but there was nothing she was doing about it. Leslie could not believe that her daughter was so fickle minded that she could easily give up her dream just because of one man."You should see a doctor" "I already made an appointment" Anette responded coldly.Since the news broke out and Anette had decided to go back and forth with Richard the relationship between her and her mother became strained. Anette always believed that her mom was just a big supporter of her goals but it turned out that all she wanted was to get into the Delgado family by all means.It seemed as though she was trying to recover the lost
"Congratulations, you are pregnant" Those words by her doctor kept replaying in he mind as she walked down to the place where her cab was waiting.Her phone buzzed in her hands, it was Richard, she had told him she was visiting the hospital to see what was wrong with her and that the sickness she felt kept recurring even after treating herself. He had been calling non stop to see what was wrong with her.She firmed her lips together and tried to draw back her tears. She could not tell if the tears were of joy or if she was not pleased to hear the news but she decided to give Richard the news in person. She answered the call and pressed the phone to her ears."Where are you?" she asked as soon as she picked up."I am at the office" "Can you spare a few minutes?" she asked him."Let's meet at the penthouse," he said. She cut off the call and redirected the cab to the new location. She did not know how her parents would take it even though she had not seen her father in such a long tim
"Pregnant?" Anette kept her eyes on him. She watched as his face turned up into a smile. He seemed nervous but the joy on his face was evident."You are pregnant?" he asked walking to her and holding her hands in joy."How, when, what, where?" he said all at once. He took a deep breath to try and steady himself. "How did this happen?" he asked and she rolled her eyes at him.Her heart that had been in her mouth suddenly dropped back to her chest as she felt relieved at his reaction. She did not know what to expect because having a baby might not have been in the plan for him."Did you plan this?" she asked suddenly."Wait what?" he asked back confused about what she meant by that statement."I mean did you plan it, did you plan to get me pregnant?" She asked again. Ehe had every right to be suspicious of him. He seemed too happy and it was too good to be true."What do you mean, why would you say something like that? No, I did not plan to get you pregnant. It just happened by chance"
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
