“This Is Brielle.”“Oh.”“Is Noah with you?”“Yes.”“Could you please give him the phone?”“He is sleeping right now, after going on and on about how you are avoiding him because he confessed to you about how he feels.”“I wasn't avoiding him, I was only trying to get my shit life together and face him.”“You should tell him that when he returns.”“When is he coming back?”“I don't know, but he thinks leaving the house will give you the space you want and make you move freely.”Brielle felt bad instantly at his words.“Please when he gets up, tell him to call me, I want to speak with him.”“I will do just that.” She disconnected the call immediately and slumped in her bed.Everything seemed to be happening so fast, she taking the risk to confess her love to George, only to walk in on the most unimaginable news, and then Noah, she didn’t know why he chose to do this at this vulnerable time, her stomach churned to remind of another problem she was facing, she felt nauseous and ran to th
She heard a knock on her door, and she took in a deep breath before going to open the door, knowing who was behind it.“Just hear me out, please.” She blurted immediately she opened the door and saw him standing there.“I'm so sorry the way things turned between us, I never wished it happened this way.” It was like she couldn't remember all the have practiced to tell him, nothing was coming out of her mouth again. She stood rooted at her spot gaping at him.“I understand, I also wish my heart didn't have to make such a decision, I'm sorry for allowing you to get in my head.” Brielle felt bad at his words, she was all ready to give him a try but with her present situation, it would be impossible.“Noah please don't say it like that, I wish this was another circumstance I would have accepted you, but with my present condition I can't.”“Brielle I knew of your condition before pouring my heart to you.” “No, you don't about it, how would it make you feel if I accepted your request while
“Elle, please listen to me.” George let out immediately as she picked up the call. The other side went quiet at his words. “I'm really sorry for the way everything is playing, all I'm asking is that we meet, I want to tell you everything, I want you to see the truth in all of this, which will be better if we meet.”She didn't reply and disconnected the call, she stared at her phone like it was a foreign object, before dropping it and going into the bathroom not before making a mental note to call Nana when she comes out.She stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes later and picked up her phone to call Nana. “Nana.” She called out immediately the call line connected.“Elle, you scared me.”“I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking right and left.”“I understand, but try to kill this old woman before her time, she has a lot to do.” Brielle giggles at her words.“Nana, you are old, what else do you plan to do?”“Witness you walk down the aisle and then carry your baby.” Brielle ran her fingers a
Brielle was surprised at how she anticipated seeing him.“Does this mean that I missed him?” She asked herself. “No, I didn't” She pinched her cheeks, her phone rang bringing her out of her thinking, and her stomach slipped immediately after seeing the caller.“Hi.” She said when she picked up the call.“How are you?” “I'm fine.”“I got your test.” She sent him a ‘thank you’ test for allowing her to stay in his place and that she would be staying in her father’s house.She hesitated before she answered.“Yeah.”“Elle, can we meet up today?” She gave it a thought, not knowing what to say, what if George arrives while she is out to meet him?“I'm still here.”“Huh, sorry about that, yeah we can meet.” She said before she could even give it another thought.“Ok, I will pick you up in the next few minutes.”“Yeah, ok bye.” The call disconnected, and she stared at herself in the mirror, she never planned on seeing him so soon, until she got her life together and solved things out with Ge
He walked over to her slowly, not removing his eyes from hers. Brielle stood certified on her spot, she never expected him to be here so soon. “George.” She called out not knowing what to do at that moment, whether to jump on him, she was excited seeing him after such a long time, but she tried to hold her excitement because the situation didn't call for it.He walked over to her standing a foot away from her, they could feel each other breath.“Let's go inside.” She blurted when they stood there for some time, before she could comprehend what was happening, he drew her closer to his chest and hugged her.“I missed you.” He said as he ran his finger on her back, Brielle was lost in his scent and wished not to be separated from him again. But it eventually had to come to an end, he detached from her and held her hand leading her inside.“Hi, Dad.” She greeted when she saw her Dad sitting in the living room. “How was your date?” He asked trying to get a reaction from George, and he su
Brielle never knew there would be a day like this in her life, she stood in front of her boss's office, after she knocked. "Come in." The voice from inside said." What can I do for Miss Mikka?" George asked. "Sir, I need a favour from you please," Brielle said."So what is it about?" he asked."Ehmm, the thing is" the words were stuck her my throat. "I was wondering if you could, pay me some months salary in advance" "Why, should I, you know that's impossible,based on the agreement you signed." He said without sparing her a look."Sir, please my grandmother is dying and I really need to save her, I need the money." she pleaded. "You don't expect when you work through that and state your problem, it will be solved like that.""I know sir, but please I will work diligently for those months." George kept mute for few minutes.With that I turned and left his office, tears were strolling down my face. "What does this girl take me for, a father Christmas. To give out money, whenever s
At Morova bar, at eight. George sat waiting for Michael. George and Michael have been friends since childhood, Michael is a lawyer working in his dad's firm. "Sorry, for that." Michael said as he rushed in."Don't tell me that, know you were just fooling with that your bitch, and kept me waiting" "Bro, calm down. I just have to see her off before coming here. Michael said. "So, what's this all about?" George brought out his phone and sent something to Michael. "I want you to draft a contract for me. Make it tight, I didn't want any loophole." "What's this all about, I don't understand. Do you mind to lesson me about it?" George went on and told Michael how he intends to fulfill his grandmother's wish by marrying his secretary on paper, and pay her bills in return." "How sure are you that she will accept this offer?""She will, she sounded desperate when she came to me, and I also inquired from the doctor, the cost of everything, she can't even cover it with the amount she is r
