Chapter Forty oneDesiree“I'm glad I was able to see you again my baby” my mom expressed as we made our way down to the garage where Killian's car was packed.“Same here mom and I would really miss you!” Killian was going to drop my mom off because she had checkups the following day she needed to meet up with the doctor and she prefers to be where she was registered.She hugged me and I wished she wouldn't go.“Mum, I promise I will find a way to come see you!” I assured her.“All I want for you is to be safe!” She advised..“And besides your…. friend here will send my regards to you!” ..“Mooom..you know I can call you Also,. Killian is not the only one who has a phone!” I said sarcastically, glaring at Killian who was just smiling sheepishly.My mom went ahead to also give Killian a hug.“Mi hijo!” She expressed and patted him on the back..“Mom, he doesn't speak Spanish!”. I stated.“Yo hablo Espanol!” Killian spoke in Spanish.My head was blown!!!!!!There were times I spoke in
Chapter Forty TwoKillianWhen I walked back into the party I was feeling refreshed and confident.I found my eyes looking around for Desiree and I spotted her just at the far end of the room with her mom…If I didn't have a mom I would have said I didn't understand how much Desiree loves her mom.It was such a wonderful night and I had fun even though I didn't drink. I had fun just seeing Desiree have fun with her mom and her best friend Lois, with the people she loves so much.I never thought I was going to feel content at all in life, but for the first time I felt content, I felt fulfilled.I looked down on my laptop as I replied to emails upon emails, I knew I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon!!I looked back at Desiree who was in the kitchen trying to get something to eat. She had also asked me if I was Interested in satisfying my belly. I respectfully declined. I was way more than satisfied already, off of what???Off of one glass of fruit wine I had at the party.“Is anything
Chapter Forty-Three DesireeIt had been three days since I last saw Killian and it had been almost a week since I saw Sylvester even though we lived in the same building.I finished mixing the dough for my doughnuts and placed it in the oven.One of the things I learnt early from my mom was cooking, literally anything, I could cook desserts, traditional and everyday food.My mom is someone whose major job is to cook. She does it as a mother and she also does it as a full time job until she got sick and one of the things we talked about was her cooking job which she was going to resume a week after she had fully recovered.My mom would never ever be distanced from cooking because she loves it with all of heart.Cooking is an art, an art of making anything and everything taste good and very healthy.I poured myself a glass of wine and went back to the living room, I launched my laptop and started looking for more Job opportunities.I recalled the last time I had a glass of wine and how
Chapter Forty-four Killian “Did you find anything yet about him???” I asked Alex as I made my way into the office.“Yes sir I did find something!” “Go on with it!” I opened the door to my office. The sight of a clean office makes me want to even work more.“Micheal Rudolph Anwar is a police officer, 32 years of age, and he was in charge of the case Desiree was engaged in!”“Hmmm, thank you!” I replied. He went back to work and went about our daily activities.Why was Micheal calling Desiree, why was she reaching out. I recalled the message that had popped up on her phone.It had been over a month since that Harry guy showed up and that was the main reason I made Desiree move.I replied to a few emails and I was ready for Michael's file to be sent.“Send me his file!” I asked Alex and immediately the file landed on my side “Now let's see who we have here!” I muttered to myself scrolling through his file.He looked pretty handsome and I felt a tight knot on my chest knowing that th
Chapter Forty - FiveDesireeI was very unsure of what outfit that would be proper for me to wear to see Sylvester's dad, I didn't even know if it was an office meeting or a home meeting.There was no way I was going to flop this up just by my mode of dressing.I decided to settle for a casual mid length gown. My phone beeped, reminding me that I had just one hour to go.I immediately jumped into the shower and got ready for the interview.I eased all of my anxiety in the cold shower I had. I heard that cold showers make you deal well with anxiety.Once I was done in the shower I dried myself up including my hair and I proceeded to styling it.I stared at myself in the mirror slowly soaking in how wonderful God has created me.Honestly not using my contact lens wasn't bad after all the other night, but I wasn't going to go natural for my interview, my eyes can be seen as threatening!!“But how could he understand Spanish!” That thought suddenly popped up in my head.It was so embarras
Chapter Forty- SixDesireeI and Sylvester walked into the reception and I could almost imagine all the stress I would have had to go through at the reception but here I was with a connection.“Penelope, how are you doing today?” Sylvester greeted the receptionist.Her name must be the one on the form I had with me the other day.She flashed him an awkward sort of flirty smile but I didn't really think much of it.We walked past the reception and took the elevator.The company was such a beauty to behold. The marble doors and the delicate ceiling gave it a warm feeling and a sense of adventure.“Are you nervous?” Sylvester asked, taking a glance at me in the elevator.“Well for someone that I haven't seen before, yes I am developing cold feet!” He moved closer to me, with just little gap separating us“There's nothing you should worry about!” He whisperedWe stood there for almost a minute with his eyes boring into mine.I don't know if he thought I was going to feel something or may
Chapter Forty- SevenKillian I sat in the car and watched as Sylvester dropped her off at home. I had arrived at her house earlier to pick her up. Alex already started his off which was for a week.He needed it and besides he has been such a great employee.I knew the moment I heard the pitch of her voice on the phone that she was lying to me about where she was There was nothing I could do to change her mind, especially if Sylvester had told her a lot of things about me.Trust me I fight the urge to get out of my car and punch Sylvester to a point where he starts to crave for different intercontinental dishes.There was a moment where he was about to touch her but she stepped back.It was very clear that Desiree wasn't comfortable with him either, but she didn't trust me too fully and I didn't expect her to.She turned around and went to her apartment.I get why she lied to me. Sylvester was very good at painting a bad picture of people. Funny how he couldn't paint one good one for
Chapter Forty- EightDesireeI was feeling Like a colour palette but I wanted to do purple so badly, and I didn't want a bold purple statement.So I decided to go for lilac, a much lighter shade of purple. I sprayed on some perfume which has always been my signature.Almost everywhere I went I got stopped by people just because they wished to know my perfume combination and I was not even ready to gate keep.I ran my hair through the curls I had made earlier before going to the interview, no I would like to call it a destructive road to seduction!!And I had been trying so hard not to think about all the things that took place with Sylvester.Where do I even begin???I knew from the way they greeted him with so much regard, I knew something was definitely up.who would have thought he was the one??I grabbed everything I needed into a white bag which I already knew was going to be a match to my dress.The thing about lilacs, as difficult it is to combine with other colours, white wil

I was so excited to my bones, excited to have more experience especially with their culture and ethics.My love for Japan clothings ohhhhh you will never know the way theri dresses flow so relentlessly and their very detailed work of art on almost everything their hands touch let's not forget that that Japan has a modern side and when I say modern side I mean the advanced technology in Japan is wild.But i'm more Interested in the meals and delicacies..“I have been to Japan a couple of times and I will you I look forward to everything about it!” Olive voiced as we walked into the airport.Let's take s moment to appreciate this beautiful Japan architecture this Beautiful airport.This is the Hiroshima airport and Japan surprisingly has total of 98 airport if not more…And I wanted to see what they all look
