“I love you!”That's all it takes for Melanie to come back to her sense, she slides her hand from his grip and moves her seat a bit far away from him.“Get a grip on yourself,” she yells at Andy and forcefully stands up from the seat. “What the hell did you think you are doing?” she shoots him a deadly glare and walks up to the window.Andy has realised his fault and he feels bad for confessing his love to the woman he wants to make his friend. He raises his body and lets his butt slide off the table.“Melanie!” he calls out to her and stands behind her back. He makes to hold her hand but she slaps his hand off.“You’re selfish, Andy!” she says, holding her head in her palms as she processes what he just said to her. “How can you develop a feeling for me when you know too well that I'm with your friend?” she throws her hands in the air and prop her elbow on the window.“That’s it, can't I have feelings again because you're with my friend? How would you know that I have a thing for you
Flashback to earlier that day.After she had received the money from Mr Gordon in the morning, she sent some of the money to her mother and she felt so happy to hear that she was doing good.Her mind was with Mr Gordon throughout the day and she couldn't process why he had to send such an amount of money to her. ‘Did he perhaps make a mistake, or did he send the money to her out of pity’?Melanie sent a text to Archie to meet her at the company after school, and she waited by her car in the parking lot for his arrival.Mr Gordon sent someone to deliver her car for her and she thanked her star for letting Mr Gordon remember that her car was still at his company.Archie arrived minutes later, in a taxi. Melanie told him that she need him to escort her somewhere and he nodded his head before entering the car.Melanie drove them to a store, different from the one they went to the last time. She asked Archie what she could get for his father and he shrugged his shoulder saying his father h
Archie rubs his bleary eyes and strides to the window. There is a pearly glow in the sky... The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. His audible yawns travel across the room.“Hmm,” he breathes in the aroma of macaroni and cheese coming from downstairs.“Today is surely gonna be a sloppy day for me.” He yawns inaudibly and saunters to the bathroom.After brushing his teeth, he stops to check his reflection in the mirror. “What changed?” he asks himself as it doesn't seem like he add anything at all.He drops the brush and steps under the shower. After having a hot bath, he walks back to his room to the pitching of his phone. He wipes his head with a towel and dumps it inside the laundry basket. He stares at the pile of clothes inside and shakes his head negatively. “I will wash you tomorrow,” he says to the basket as if he's communicating with his mate.He hitches his head as he walks up to the bed. He grabs his phone from the nightstand and scoffs sadly. “Today is my b
Melanie drops her phone on the bed as Mr Gordon enters her room. “I just contact the lady now, and she will be here anytime soon.” She informs him without looking his way.“Alright,” he yawns and plunges onto the bed. “What is that?” He asks, pointing at the stuff on her bed.“Oh,” Melanie smile and pack the stuff together so he could sleep properly. “It’s just flower studs that I'm making for the kids.” She grins and Mr Gordon just nods and closes his eyes to sleep.“Stop stressing yourself, leave all the work for the planner.” he groans and pulls her to join him on the bed.“Seriously, I need to do this,” Melanie whine. She gently releases his hand and moves a bit away from him.Mr Gordon sits up and glares hard at her. “Did I pay so much money for them so that you could be helping them out?” He snaps at her and Melanie drops the flower stud in her hand.“I didn't stay at home so I could be playing with you, I'm doing this for Archie, not you!” She rolls her eyes. Mr Gordon didn't
If only anger could be measured on a scale, Archie's anger would surpass any sum. He steps down from the cab and marches angrily inside the compound, forgetting to bid the cab driver fair well.Darkness has already covered the sky, only the hazy light emerging from the night stars makes the night seem a bit bright.Archie puffs out air and strides towards the door. He couldn't believe he spent the rest of his day working on some fills. Can his principal ever stop giving him work to do?He remembers that his father is to blame, why would he tell his principal to detain him, the fact that his father forget about his birthday isn't the problem but the fact that he made him work for the principal on his birthday.He clamps his teeth together and twists the doorknob, he yearns to find his father and give him an earful. Stepping inside the dark living room that is as silent as the graveyard. He make to switch on the light but someone beat him to do it.“Happy birthday, Son!” Mr Gordon's che
“Hmm, that,” Mr Gordon drops his glass and stands up from the stool. “Before I could tell you what I intend to say to you, you will have to follow me somewhere.” He smiles and stretches out his palm to her.Tapping on the wine glass in front of her, to glaring at the drawing in front of her, Melanie shakes her head slowly and wonders what is actually inside the drawing.“Hey,” Melanie chuckles, she nervously stands up from the stool and slowly slides her palm into his waiting palm. “Let go.” she smiled back at him, before grabbing the drawing from the counter.Mr Gordon tightens his grip on her palm as he leads her up to the stairs, he looks down at their intertwined fingers and a smug smile creeps up his charming face.“Where are we going anyways?” Melanie asks, feeling nervous all of a sudden as she trails quietly behind him.“You will get to know if you see it.” He says shortly. “And you will love it,” he assured her with a bright smile on his face.Melanie arches her brows when Mr
Mr Gordon releases her from the hug and takes her left hand. He takes out a diamond ring and slides it onto her promise finger which fits her perfectly.He stares at her face for what seems like forever, Melanie's eyes sparkle under the coloured light. Mr Gordon unconsciously smiles at her, which makes her return the smile in two folds.“Now I feel complete. How long has it been that I have been waiting for this day?” he smiles and plants a kiss on the ring finger.He raises his head to see her smiling brightly at him. “I love you. My woman!” he says and leans slowly toward her.Mr Gordon plant a soft peck on her lips, he made to back away when she tug at his collar and pull his face back to her. He chuckles as he understands what she wants.He interrupts her with such needs as he smashes his lips against hers. She opens up her mouth, giving him access to her tongue. He devours her mouth instantly, wasting no time as he captures her tongue in a fierce battle of need.She moans out int
“Really?” Mr Gordon asks the obvious question. “You like it that much?!” he chuckles, while gently patting his back.“Very much. And I love you.” Archie mumbled into his chest.Melanie coughs behind them which attracts their attention to her. Archie let go of his father and walk up to Melanie in other to embrace her.Melanie raised her index finger in the air, stopping the boy from coming closer. “Hmm, hmm!” she backed away, shaking her head at him. “Not yet, save the hug for later.” she smiles and winks at Alfred to continue with the surprise.“Oh,” Mr Gordon beams out a charming smile. “The surprise didn't end here. We have something else to show you,” he says, bringing out a neatly folded handkerchief from his pant pocket.Archie laughs shortly. “No, you guys don't know, but I'm capable of any surprise.” he cackles and watches his father pass the handkerchief to Melanie.“I’m serious. There's no need for a blindfold I can handle any sort of surprise,” he utters proudly with his che
