Tiffany laughed, "How is that possible when you are just slightly older than me?"

Jake smiled, "What I'm trying to say is that, right from when we were kids, I dreamt of spending the rest of my life with you. I would secretly watch you and marvel at how beautiful you looked.

When we grew older and became teenagers, I realized that what I felt for you was love. I've never stopped loving you since then. Trust me, I tried to stop but my love for you only got stronger."

Tiffany squeezed his hand which was intertwined with hers, "We lost so much time, thanks to my stupidity."

"We will make up for it, I promise," Jake replied. "And as for getting married again, let's talk about it the day you get discharged from the hospital."

"Hope I'm not interrupting?" A familiar voice suddenly asked.

Both Jake and Tiffany had thought it was the doctor when the door was opened. They were both surprised to hear Lisa's voice, especially Tiffany."

Jake got up and said to Tiffany, "I'll be right back. Let me ask the doctor a few questions."

He smiled at Lisa before leaving the ward.

When she saw Monalisa, Tiffany recalled all the times they had clashed since they never liked each other. She didn't want their relationship to be bad because she loved Jake and knew that Lisa meant a lot to him.

She smiled, "Hi, Lisa. It's been a while. Thanks for coming to see me."

Lisa smiled, "I should be thanking you. I heard that you took a bullet for my brother and realized that I misjudged you before. I don't know why we never got along or why I always thought you were selfish and arrogant."

"I actually thought worse about you," Tiffany confessed and they both laughed.

Tiffany continued, "To be honest, my opinion of you swayed after you helped Cora out in court and exposed your dad's wrongs. And you were not completely wrong about me. I can be self-centered and a little arrogant sometimes but never with the people I love.

I love Jake a lot and now it extends to you."

"I guess it's safe to say, welcome to the family!" Lisa replied.

"Thank you so much, Lisa. Paris told me that our families plan to get together during the holidays. I'm hoping to get to know you so much better during that time."

Lisa sighed, "I'm afraid that will not be possible. My flight to NYC leaves tomorrow and I may not visit London until next year. But rest assured, we'll speak on the phone and I'll tell you all you need to know."

"Looking forward to it," Tiffany replied.

Once we got one, I asked him to pay for the room and picked up the key card as I made my way to the elevator.He joined me quickly and we got in together. While in the elevator, he suddenly circled my waist and pulled me closer to him as he whispered, "You make me want to tear off your clothes right now."I smiled, "That is not allowed. I am the CEO of my company and cannot be caught naked in the elevator."Hearing my words, he took a step back and let go of me. We found our room in no time and I unlocked it."After you," I said, making way so he could enter the room before I did.Once inside, I leaned against the door and watched him as he took off his clothes as though his life depended on it.

    CLAYI opened my eyes to see that the beauty I had picked up from the bar was gone. I didn't know why she left the way she did but I was impressed.She obviously didn't know who I was. If she did, she would have gone all out to flatter me like girls usually did. She didn't react even when I mentioned my name. Instead, she pretended not to have heard it and didn't bother to tell me hers.Was it reverse psychology? Over the years, so many girls had gone as far as using underhanded methods and tricks just to get my attention.The first thing that stood out about the beauty I had picked up was the fact that I had approached her and not the other way around.It was the first time I had spoken to and picked up a girl at the bar. I never did things like that because I was content with Mia in my life. Nevertheless, there was always a first time and tonight was worth it.Yes, she made me feel wonderful but she wasn't the one.

According to my routine, I needed to get laid again and I was sure that once I found someone else to fuck me for the night, I would completely forget about that hottie.However, it was easier said than done. I went to a different bar to avoid further reminders of that amazing night.The moment I stepped into the bar, a handsome hunk caught my eye. He was in the company of two guys and two girls and that immediately discouraged me as I didn't know which girl belonged to him.Nevertheless, I took a seat close enough to steal his attention and looked around the bar but no one else caught my attention. I ordered a bottle of wine and began to indulge in it when the handsome hunk approached my table and

    MONALISAI placed my head on Clay's naked chest as we both lay on the bed. After I kissed him earlier, I had whispered into his ears that I was horny for him and once again, we found our way to the hotel which was only a few blocks away.After our passionate sex, I wondered what was to follow. That burning fire in me had once again been quenched by him and it was time to take a shower and leave.However, I longed for something different. I didn't know why I wanted us to meet again and again. I was sure it wasn't love. Perhaps it was the great sex he offered. I didn't want any commitment but what if he did?He had admitted to missing me and even told me he had been searching for me. This meant that he felt the same way I did. I had a feeling he wasn't yet done with me but why wasn't he saying anything?The question had just crossed my mind when Clay mentioned my name.I lifted my face and stared at him as a smile appeared on my face."I need to tell you something important."I sat up o

From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm

You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man.

The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone.

    MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T

    MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou

    MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together.

I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you.
