Joshua and Aletta had a meal at a restaurant that served Nigerian meals. "See I told you that eating something new was worth the try" Aletta said as she patted her stomach."I am so full I feel I might burst open any moment from now," Joshua said."Took the words right out of my mouth" Aletta replied shocked he was feeling the same way."Should we take a walk around the area so it can help out digestion?" Joshua suggested.Aletta thought it to be a good idea, they could kill two birds with one stone, their food would get digested and they get to see the area and mark down the restaurant they wanted to visit later."Did you feel that?" Aletta asked looking up to the sky."Feel what?" Joshua asked when he felt a droplet of water touch his palm. "Is that a drizzle?" Joshua asked and Aletta nodded. "The forecast did not say it would rain here today" Joshua said fumbling with his phone to see what happened. He checked and it turned out that the weather was largely unstable so it caused ex
Joshua was taken aback by her gesture because she was not one to do something like that, she was always composed and perfect. Seeing her sway in the rain was strange to it."People are staring" he said holding her waist that was swaying back and forth as if they were in tune with music."We are tourists here, they would look at us and laugh at our silly nature and not bother to judge us" Aletta said.She wanted to enjoy her stay and try her best not to worry about the people who would talk, there was no pleasing others because they always found a way to complain about something about them."Let's dance" "In the rain?" Joshua asked with widened eyes and a shocked expression across his entire face."Yeah, just like when we were kids" "I never dance in the rain" Joshua confessed shyly. "Jessica did not allow you to dance in the rain?" Aletta could not believe that. Joshua was half the person he was because he had Jessica as his mom. If Xavier had married a random heiress and had child
"That felt refreshing" Joshua commented as they made their way back to the car. He could not believe that at his age he had spent thirty minutes swaying the rain with Aletta."See, letting go and allowing the rain to go all over you is one of the best feelings ever. Don't you feel light already?" Aletta asked excitedly."I am glad you talked me into doing it" he said planting a kiss on her temple. "Okay let's get home and take a long hot bath before we have something hot to drink so we don't catch a cold" Aletta said hurrying to catch up with the car."A long hot bath? Together" Aletta shook her head at him, they had spent the entire day out to ease the sexual tension between them but he managed to ruin what she had managed to build with a few seconds of talking."Not together but separately" she said not going to let him have his way and joke through the situation. "You know what I meant," she said as they slid into the car. Joshua went in through the driver's side and Aletta thro
"So I am done having a bath you should do so too and I will get started with tea" Aletta said walking up to the kitchenette."Do I need to have my bath, can't I just sit at the fireplace and warm up?" Joshua asked pointing to the false fireplace in the mini- sitting room."You know that's not real right?" Aletta asked wondering if he was just messing around or if he was serious about the fireplace thing."Or we could turn up the heat" Aletta pointed to the thermostat, "The heat is up and you are still shivering, a bath would help" Joshua whined like he was being forced to take a class he did not want to. "I don't think I would catch a cold from just a few drops of rain" Joshua said again hoping this time his answer would fly."No matter what excuse you have you just have to take a bath or else by morning you will be sick" Aletta said going to him and stretching her hand to him. He stared at her hand like it was fire and he was contemplating whether to play with it or not."Come on,
Joshua came out and commented on how better he felt after standing under the warm shower water for a while."See I told you so," Aletta said handing the cup of tea to him."Thank you" he said taking the cup and sipping from it."You really do know the trick to curing the sickness of dancing in the rain," Joshua said. His tone was like he was commending his child for getting top in his classes."Sickness of dancing in the rain? That's a new one" she said and he shrugged."I did not know what word to use for the situation so that string of words would do" "Well, my mom always did things she thought would look romantic so I did dance in the rain a lot with her while I was young and she always had a warm bath ready for us with a cup of hot milk whenever we finished dancing" Aletta said."You sound like you miss those days" "Of course I do, it was when I was not afraid to love, it was a time when I did not have a worry or care but being an adult took all that away from me" Aletta sounde
"I already told you I won't do anything and you would have to be the one to beg me" Joshua said as she lifted Aletta in her hand.She felt truly embarrassed by the situation so she pretended to feel a cough coming on. "I need a glass of water" "We can get that" Joshua said walking to the room instead of the mini fridge for her to take water."But water," Aletta said when he dropped her to the bed."I will get that my queen" he said walking out and emerging a while later with a bottle of water in hand. He opened it and gave it to her. "Here you go" Aletta took the open bottle and gulped out of it. "Thank you" she said setting aside the bottle to the nightstand beside her. "Aren't you coming to bed?" she asked when she noticed him standing there watching her."I am" he said hurriedly getting into bed. Aletta cleared her throat and lay down in the bed. Joshua snuck his hands underneath her body and pulled her close to him."What are you doing?" Aletta asked."Nothing, just holding my g
"Your brother seems to be spending a lot of time out of the city," Thiago said to Jeanne."And we should be happy about it, at least he is not here to bully me or nitpick at my relationship," Jeanne said with a smile on her face."You sound so much like someone who is missing him" "Oh my god, how dare you say that?" Jeanne shrieked like she had been given terrible news. "You know siblings are more alike than they think" Thiago started."So you are like your sister Nichole" "Oh no, that rule does not apply to us," "Hmm" Jeanne said nodding her head mockingly. "Come closer let me tell you a secret" he said beckoning to her. Jeanne bent her head a bit so she could hear what he could possibly have to say."She was adopted so there is no way we are alike" he said and Jeanne shook her head."I believe that it's so true" Jeanne's tone was sarcastic enough that anyone could hear it from a mile away. "Enough about my brother, when do I get to meet your sister?" "You still want to meet he
"I can't believe we are already going back" Joshua whined as they made their way to the airport."You are the CEO of the company and you gave duties to attend to" "Hey, what did you do to my girlfriend," Joshua said glancing at her from the driver's seat."Hmm?" Aletta was confused. What was he saying?"My fun girlfriend, who had been the life of the entire trip, what did you do to her?" Joshua asked again.Aletta saw that he was joking about the situation so she laughed. "I am sorry but your assistant has to step in and your girlfriend takes the back seat" Aletta said playing along with his jokes."Yeah, I don't want that, our trip is not over until we get back to Chiachester City" "So you want me to be fun?" She asked and he nodded."Our flight leaves in three hours what fun thing can we do?" She asked looking out the window."I know," he said causing him to look at him. He tapped his mouth and then pouted."Joshua" she called in surprise. "You are driving" she added in a scolding
