."I came here because I couldn't get a hold of you. Neither was Ara"
It didn't make sense earlier but it does now to her. But the question was, why was he calling her? Was it job-wise?
****"Don't laugh." Wilhelm warned but Destiny could barely keep it in. She bit inside her cheeks to stop the deep laughter waiting to bubble out.
"Damn it! You're even the cause of this." And then he got up again hurriedly.
The laughter came to an end and the smile dropped as well when he said she was the cause.
"Hey. Are you okay?" Destiny couldn't help but ask when Wilhelm came back from the washroom the umpteenth time.
"I wish I had not eaten it." He muttered, taking the seat beside her again.
"Ate what?"
"Oh, you've forgotten? That shit you prepared last night and called it food." He scoffed.
Destiny licked her dry lip

She felt his arm come around her waist when they made it out of the car. She whirled to face him, her hands on his shoulders then hooking them behind his neck.She leaned in and whispered against his neck. "You can't walk me in with your hands around my waist. No touchy touchy remember?"He chuckled. "How will they believe?""I didn't come here to prove to the world that I am dating you, Mr. Grey. I only have to prove to Richard.""It's just my hands on your waist." He whispered back. Richard was getting things from the car."No, it isn't. We're going to look like we're up for a honeymoon instead of work. It doesn't look professional. Remember you're the CEO.""Your point is clear. Just keep giving me adorable love eyes and I will return it with a ' deep in love' look.""Huh?""Something like this." He said and gave her an intense smoldering look. It looked so real. Even though it was fake, no man has ever looked

Changing into a violet off-shoulder dress with her wet hair ina messy heap on top of her head, Destiny walked out to look for where the dinner was held.When she didn't see them in the ballroom, she walked to the balcony, and there, all heads turned in her direction.From Mr. Hughes, the manager, to the financial officer, accountant, the production manager, marketing manager then the CEO and his very own assistant also her ex-husband Richard Davidson."Hi, y'all here."

BTBB 28She stared in grave horror as Richard kept throwing punch after punch at Wilhelm and he wasn't doing anything to stop him or even fight back.Still in shock, she didn't know if it was because he kissed her again which was contrary to the rules, or because Richard is here all of a sudden just to catch him on it and kill him.Kill him?Destiny snapped back to reality."Enough Richard!" She screamed with all her might that her throat hurt at the end.He paused. "Why should I stop? This man was taking advantage of you.""Seriously Davidson? You barged

It was a cool breeze with just the right speed at first before it turned warm.She rolled to the other side because it was coming directly into her face. That still didn't stop the warm air from blowing on her face.It wasn't just a cool or warm breeze anymore. It was more. Like the air has been mixed with mint and each blow to her face drew her more and more awake.'What if it's not a breeze?' She thought and turned on her back to face heavenward, sighing.Slowly, her eyes opened. It was blurry at first. Those blue-green eyes, long lashes, straight nose, and desirable lips. His face. It was just an inch from hers.

She waves her hand across his face. Did it again and again and when she was sure that indeed he was asleep, she sighed and for some odd reason, waited to stare at him as he snored quietly.She studied all the contours of his face without interruption or he grumbling about not liking to be looked at. Somehow, it soothed her nerves after what happened in the hall.Deciding to stay up so that he could sleep, she went to pick her laptop to write a review on a high school book she read.Then she bought new ones on Amazon and jumped into one whose title and cover captivated her at glance.Hours into reading, she noticed him beginning to stir. He picked a pillow and hugged it close.Thinking that he might be feeling cold, she got up to close the windows and put off the air conditioner.

"What? Are you not going to talk?" Richard, who was unaware that they had an audience, asked before following his gaze."Oh." He whispered."Destiny I think we should—" Wilhelm began.She stopped him in time with a stern look and took a walk to his side. "You must be very proud of what you did last night so much aren't you?""I was just trying to have what's mine. So yeah. I'm proud I'm doing it." Richard grinned."Well, news flash, you can try harder because I am never going to leave him and even if he does leave me, you'll be the last person on Earth I will come to if I have to choose again."

Maybe it was good that he left after all. She can finally dress or undress without having to look over her shoulders or hide in the bathroom to get things done.Her body was still pouring out steam when she came out of the washroom but the moment the wind blew, welcoming her into London weather, she wished she had closed the windows.She closed them and rolled the curtains over. She then dropped her towel and walked naked across the room to the dresser.Hell, it feels good to walk about freely.Destiny picked a thin silky singlet top and its matching shorts that barely covered her round ass.She applied a face cream then brushed her blonde hair and held it in a bun.Suddenly, the door opened, and thinking it was Wilhelm, she spoke."Where have your manners gone, Mr. Grey? You can't just barge in? What if I was naked?"She waited for his usual sarcastic smug reply but none came.

Even the gentlest knock by the door sent her flying out of her wits like a scared cat. Knowing who it might be, she exhaled before opening the door.It didn't help. He took her breath away anyway."Shall we go?"She just nodded. Not finding it in her to talk to him.They checked out of the hotel and for the first time since the trip, Richard didn't join their car and he seemed to be minding his business.No more jealous glares, and no more being an asshole.They rode off in uncomfortable silence. Destiny pretended to be busy on her phone while Wilhelm steals glances at her

“Hi.” She squeaked in a mixture of fake excitement and genuine nervousness. “I trust things are going well for you in London. What you went to do, how's it going?”After asking, she waited for his response and when it didn't come, she tapped on the dim screen to see if he dropped the call.But he was still on it.She sighed and leaned into the leather seat. “Look, I wasn't ignoring you. It's just…”“Just what?” He cuts her off.“Nothing.”“Nothing? Did you realize that you're ghosting me? How would you have felt if I was the one doing that to you?”“It's not me, and I know you don't give a fuck.”“Are you shitting me? How haven't you seen that I care for you?”“Care? But you don't love me.”“That's not what we're talking about.”“Really?”“You said you'll wait. You said you'll give it time.”“Oh, and then you expected me to have hope and wait when you're literally going back into the arms of your ex-girlfriends?”“What?”“ I don't want any heartbreaking surprises, and that's why I'm l

..........The buzzing of her phone woke her up. She blindly searched for it and when she finally got a hold of it, she answered without looking at the ID."I'm still in..." She was mumbling when she got cut off."Hi Des, it's...wait. Were you saying you're still in bed?"Destiny got up to a sitting position and begrudgingly rubbed her eyes. "Ara?""Yes, baby."Destiny rolled her eyes. "You sound cheery.""Of course. Wanna guess it?""You know I just woke up. My brain needs time before it starts functioning.""I'll buy your excuse.""So?""I'm going on a date.""Oh wow. You found someone or it's a man.""I found someone.""That's wonderful Ara. I'm really happy for you." Destiny got out of the bed, fully woken by Ara's good news."It doesn't mean I'm over you. I still love you, Des."Destiny sighed. It's been months and yet she's still saying that."My

.......After seven hours, her system automatically became restless. He started expecting a call or text from him.Slowly, the sun hid back behind its clouds and she was about to retire to bed herself.But could she sleep without talking to him?Her phone was beside her and she kept checking it every second. Every message tone, every incoming call sent her jumping up to reach her phone only to be disappointed.At eleven, she began to force herself to sleep as she was no longer sure he'd call her. Midnight and she was still struggling to sleep.She placed the phone on the bedside table and disappeared under the covers, shutting her eyes tight.It's not been a day since he left yet she miss him, so much.

"Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss Christmas with me." She brushed her thumb over his beautiful lips while staring deep into his blue-green eyes.She feels so weak and helpless."I won't." He kissed her thumb."Come back soon." She whispered, her voice threatening to break."I will."She dropped her thumb, tightened their entwined hands, and leaned into him, resting her head against his arm.Sooner or later, she'd have to say goodbye and she's not ready for that.

The moment the elevator dinged, her heart leaped along with it but she didn't flinch and pretended to be engrossed. The closer his steps got, the more his fragrance filled her nostrils. Her insides tightened in excitement. He closed earlier than usual today. "Mmm...what is it you're reading?" He came around and kissed the corners of her lip. "Why do you wanna know? You never cared." She asked, smiling but never looking up from the book. "I've seen you go from scared to happy, in love and despair. More of despair. You've cried a bucket full already. I can't take it." He pitched in a sorrowful tone.

Destiny invited a waiting Ara to have breakfast with them. A very awkward breakfast.When it was over she asked Ara to her room but she declined."Outside then?""Is there not a seat on the balcony?""There is." Destiny breathed, clutching to the sides of her dress.When they got there, Destiny sat on the wicker chair, expecting her to join her but she didn't.The early morning sun of mid-July warmed Destiny's skin to the point of scorching. July weather in America has always been harsh. She looked down from the blinding sunlight while waiting for Ara to speak.Ara stood against the railings and placed her hand on it while her eyes remained below, taking in the

"Since you let the other sibling in then this whole thing of keeping them away is not necessary. I'll let Ara in if she comes again.""No Grandpa.""Why?

You can't let the other one in and leave the other.""Ara is bent on breaking us apart.""At least hear her out.""You're on her side aren't you?""If I were you I wouldn't be bedding my best friend's brother."
