I can't believe Nova lived this long just waving at her neighbor and never even exchanged names.
"We inviting her for Thanksgiving and that is it" I told her firmly and watched her grumble.
No she doesn't hate her neighbor but she thinks it is better the way they are. No unecesary drama but I think that excuse is lame.
She sluggishly got up but eventually went to invite her neighbor whose name we don't know.
"The most shocking discovery ever, she is Karen Myers, legal wife of your brother Jayden" Nova said as she walked in, following behind is the said woman looking as innocent as ever.
I have never been this surprised, Jayden never told a soul about getting married until his death.
"Jayden had a wife?" I said more of a question that a statement.
"Had?" The two women asked, I never thought it was important telling Nova but I guess his wife

NovaMonday mornings are so annoying, I have to rush down to work, get everything ready for all of this crazy and rude clients.The most annoying ones are the men, always making advances at me or staring at me like I am some piece of meat.I looked in my full sized mirror not to confirm if I am properly dressed but to admire my beauty.Funny you might think, but I am not the type of woman who depended on other people's approval, I am confident in myself.It is all of God's fault. Looking up with my hand clasped together over my face I said.“Forgive me God for you are always right” but it is your fault for making me this beautiful and attractive.Standing 5.8 ft is a dream for a whole of ladies, in addition to that, I have an hour glass sh

NovaFor years, I had imagined us meeting again but not in this manner or this setting.I had imagined we will meet in a cafe and I will pretend not to know him, we might meet in a company of my own, and he will walk in needing my help but I will totally deny it.Not in my wildest imagination did I ever think he will be walking into my boss' office, staring at me with judgemental eyes.I knew him so well, the thoughts running through his head, he must think of me as wayward and disgusting, that look which I know so well, the way he stares at Tara then whenever she clings to him.“Jordan Myers, it's nice to see you” Drey said smiling widely at him but Jordan's eyes was stuck on me, I could not help but wonder what the hell he was doing here.Drey's eyes moved from Jordan to me,

Maybe I should not have gone to that crazy party, maybe I should have chosen my friends wisely as Nova would always advice but no, I did the exact opposite and started regretting after.College was wild, my roommates were seniors and they were crazy ones, who was there to stop me though? Dad stopped caring a few months before I resumed college and mom? She wasn't any better, moving from one man to another, sleeping wit

NovaWe stood in my office staring at each other like it was a staring contest, I could not help but admire what an handsome man he had become, not that he was not handsome back then but the matured look made him even more handsome."Mr Jordan Myers" I said not breaking eye contact."Miss Nova Lionel" he replied still holding my gaze, this was stupid I thought as I averted my eyes from his or maybe I just could not bear the emotions flooding through me."I knew you will give up eventually" he told me laughing, I know how crazy he can be but I am also the same girl I used to be, even better!"That is because I don't have time to waste, now may I ask you, why do you want to work for us" I replied in an overly professional tone, he faked a

NovaJust like every morning, I made myself breakfast and went back upstairs to get myself ready for work, today, in a black and white checkered short skirt and jacket with a black top beneath.I grabbed my car keys on my make-up table and went downstairs to grab my pancakes in a small plate and made myself a cup of coffee, then made my way to my car. My neighbor was out again like every day, we did the good morning waves and I got into my car, straight to work.Well, straight to work was what I thought until this strange number called me. It took a little while to decide if I should pick up the call or not but at the end, I did.“Nova Lionel speaking, who am I unto?”“Jordan Myers, good morning to you to” I me

NovaThere is a kind of unsaid happinesses that comes with being happily in love. Before you judge a situation, always listen to the other person's explanation.I haven't smiled this much on years and nothing can take that smile of my face."Nova" or maybe there is, that familiar voice, the very one I still haven't prepared a response for.Wait a minute, Nova?"Good morning sir" I turned around and greeted, he was smiling so hard, his face was nothing like how I last saw it. Whatever happened while I was away?"Oh please, you know I was just pissed, how was the trip?" He asked and for some reason I was really happy he is no longer pissed."Really great!" I replied him and turned to leave, only to bump into someone and my bag fell, every single thing inside of it scattered all over the reception."I'm sorry ma'am" the not so familiar worker told me and I just waved it, I have a bigger task of getting my things together, it was u

Jordan's POVCan you ever understand women? One moment they want this and the other moment they want something else.I felt like she was the girl Justin Bieber was referring to in "What do you mean". She's so indecisive!She's hurt, I know. It's because of me, fact established. I tried explaining, apologizing but she refused. What, am I supposed to keep doing that the rest of my life? Loving her doesn't make me brainless.Six good years of my life I spent trying to reach her and now it all feels wasted. I got dressed for today's work, thankfully, it's just tomorrow left to work, the rest was meant for relaxation.She was at my door about to knock when I opened, she quickly dropped her hand and swallowed hard."What?" I asked

We had to meet also with the so-called company for business this morning and I just wish we had more than enough time.Making breakfast for her was first on my list, it's not something I am exactly uses to, but I need to win her favor back, then, maybe, I can think of making her understand things unclear to her.I did her wrong, it was my fault, but she is getting it all wrong, I don't understand women. She is the same person that insults ladies in the movies when they don't give their man a chance to explain.So, I made breakfast, the best I could make, toast.Don't judge me yet, I nev

He cut me off as I tried explaining where everything was, pointing here and there."Seems complicated, you might want to show it to me" I was not ready to spend another minute with him doing anything not work related, he might as well go around himself."I can't, I'm busy" I tried telling him off."We are here for work and it doesn't start until tomorrow, you can just show me" gues

Nova's POVI rolled in my bed, my alarm must have beeped hours ago but I don't even know if I can face Drey at work today, not after what happened yesterday.It was all my fault, I shouldn't have used him the way I did, I knew I didn't love him, I kept making him hope. I don't blame him because if I were to be in his shoes, I'd be shattered.My phone rang, I picked it up to check the caller ID "DREY", my heart skipped a beat, I'm late for work but still in bed, I know for a fact that I've lost my job."Miss. Lionel, I'm sure you are aware of what time you are to resume at work" Miss. Lionel? He is really taking this too far."My schedule is empty for the day and I am preparing for my trip to Hawaii" I told him, who gives better excuses than me."Fine!""Do you think we can see la...."

I asked Rita but she shook her head no. Where then did he go?I was about going back upstairs to get dress, my friends and I had plans to visit the salon. The door opened and I was hoping it was Jordan but instead it was a pretty woman, she looked so familiar."Hi" I greeted."Oh, hello" she replied staring at me in a kind of way I did not understand."Are you here to see someone?" I asked, just then Rita walked into the living room. She stared at the woman in shock, what? They know her."Welcome ma'am, we didn't know you were coming" Rita told the woman who just smiled and dismissed her."S
