CHAPTER 5(DINNER DATE)
Dusk seemed to have overcome the overwhelming light of the sun as it was 8pm already.The atmosphere seemed to have been in favour of Henry as nature blessed the atmosphere with it's cool breeze,and some calmness.Just like Henry who keeps to time,Jane was already prepared for her dinner date with Henry and Henry on the other hand, was outside waiting for her in his car.
Moments later,Jane came out from her house dazzling in the hot red dinner gown she wore,her flowing black hair and a light makeup of a red lipstick,eyeshadow, neatly drawn eye brows and eyeliner .Her beauty left Henry astonished and speechless at the same time as he had to come out of his car to get a better view of her.
"Wow!"He exclaimed silently.
Jane smiled at him which sort of brought him back to his senses.
"You look stunning"he complimented.
"Well thank you".
He then opened the car door for her and ushered her in and closed the door.He rushed to be in the driver's seat as well.He drove off whilst staring at her admiringly.
They got to a very exquisite exotic lounge.Jane seemed to have been surprised at the environment as she was baffled that she never knew such place existed in the first place.They were welcomed by the soft love music playing from the inside of the building.The environment was cool and free from distractions,cars packed around and securities at the gate.
"I am so surprised.Never knew a place like this existed".she said excitedly.
"A guy always knows his way around.This is one of the places I come to relax after the day's stress".
"I like it".
"So shall we?"he offered whilst bringing out his hand.
"Ofcourse"she accepted giving him a smile.
They walked inside the building with Henry leading the way.He seemed to have booked a table beforehand for the date.He went further to adjust a seat for her and she sat down
"Thank you"she said gratefully
Then he sat down.Just when he sat down was a waiter that came to take their orders holding 3 books and a pen which consisted of 2 menu books and an order book.The waiter who was a male greeted them and gave a menu book to Jane and another menu book to Henry,the order book still remaining in his hand.
Jane went through the menu and unknown to her Henry was staring at her instead of going through his menu book.She without noticing the stare picked her choice.
"I want fried rice and fried chicken"she said while handing him his menu book.
"What about you sir?the waiter asked.
"I want what she wants"he said while still staring at her.
"And a bottle of champagne please"he completed.
"Okay sir"the waiter said while writing down their orders.
He took the menu books and left to get their orders.
"How long have you been staring at me Mr Henry?"convinced that he had been staring at her.
"Since we got here I suppose.You are very beautiful.From your flowing hair,to your eyes,to your red lips.You look absolutely beautiful"he complimented.
"Thank you"she buried her face down blushing.
"You really have your way with words I must say"she said looking directly into his face.
"They are genuine and true"he replied.
They kept throwing glances and laughing at themselves until the waiter guy came back with their orders.He served them and left immediately.
They began to eat but midway Henry stopped eating and was looking at her.He seemed to have been overtaken by the burden in his heart that he wanted so badly to pour his heart out through words.It wasn't hard for him to do so he let it out anyway.
"I really like you Jane"he said.
Jane who was eating and unaware of his stare,dropped her cutlery gently and raised her face staring at his face.She didn't say any word but stare.She seemed to have felt the same way but words ran out of her brain as she sat there speechless.
"I won't lie to you.I feel a certain way when I am with you,when I look at you and when I hear your voice.I know it hasn't been so long we met and this may not be the right time for me to say this,but what I am saying is real and true".he continued.
"I am in love with you Jane.I am so in love with you.I don't wanna force words into your mouth.I just want to let you know, then you can decide if..."he was about to finish when Jane cut in.
"I like you too.You don't have to say anything cos I feel the way you feel.I am not the type of girl that has to wait a century before I know what I feel.We are on the same page Henry"She said while holding his hands.
"Now let's eat cos I like food alot"she said jokingly while Henry laughed.
So they continued eating.
"So tell me more about yourself"she inquired.
"My name is Henry Wilberforce,I am from this city.I studied petroleum engineering at Harvard and now I manage one of my father's companies.I have one sibling,a guy,his name is Fred but he ain't in the country right now and I am a good guy"he said even though joking at the last part.
Jane laughed her hearts out.Henry seemed like the type of guy that had a sense of humor,her type of guy.
"You are a good guy"she mimicked him while laughing.
"I have never heard anything like that before.You are hilarious honestly and I like that".She said.
"What more can I say?.I just made you laugh.Cant you see that my words are..."he was about to finish before she interrupted him.
"Real and true"she completed.
"Wow!.I give up"he continued eating his food.
"So tell me about you"I am Jane Williams,i am from this city as well.I studied Estate management at Brantford.I got a sister and I work at Infinity".
"Lest I forget,how are you related to Infinity.Do you work there also?"she continued.
"Not really...well,your boss is my very good friend and I happen to be one of the shareholders in the company".he explained.
"Wow that's huge.You are a set guy"she complimented.
"Set guy?.That's a first"confused at what she meant.
"Oh!it means that you are rich and comfortable.To be a shareholder at Infinity is everything.That's a lot you know".
"Yeah I get it now.I like the word.Set guy...set guy...set guy..."he repeated continually.
"Common stop.Anyways,how come you are a shareholder at Infinity whearance you studied petroleum engineering.Infinity is a company that deals with buying of houses,properties and estate management.What has that got to do with engineering?"she asked.
"Sweetheart,you don't have to be an engineer before you become a shareholder at a company.Just gain knowledge on what you want to embark on,invest and gain,invest and lose as well.Thats how it goes".
"Wow never knew".she was surprised.
"Any more questions my lady?"he said finishing off with his food.
"No...set guy"she joked.
Henry signalled the waiter guy to come and in no minute,he came placing a book in front of Henry.Henry looked at the bill and brought out his wallet and brought out some cash from it.He didn't count the money but from it's volume it was a huge sum.
"Keep the change"he said.
The waiter was excited because the tip Henry left him hasn't been awarded him before.
"Thank you sir"he bowed slightly.
They both stood up from the table as he held her hand and walked away.
CHAPTER 4(A BOLD STEP) It was morning already,the sun was up but Nina decided to remain indoors.For the past week that she met Henry,she hasn't been herself.This was a random guy she met at the beach.She wasn't supposed to disturb herself too much over him but there she was bothered about him and wishing she could see him again.She didn't seem to be thinking about her boyfriend Ken anymore,all she wanted was the beach boy Henry and what she could do to get him back. She picked up her phone and decided to swallow her pride and dial his number.She wanted to hear his voice so bad. "Should I call him or not?"she asked herself. "What if he snubs me?" "Did he forget to call me or what?..." "Goddamn it.It is over a week now" She decided to then take a bold step.She knew obviously that if she didn't call,he wouldn't bother calling. She picked up her phone and
CHAPTER 3(THE INTRODUCTION) Jane was still so excited about her new job that she invited Nina over.She already brought 2 glasses,poured some champagne into it and offered her friend a glass.She was so excited that even Nina was so lost. "I have been sitting her for over 30 minutes and my dear friend has refused to tell what is making her so happy".Nina said . "You won't believe it Nina.Your friend here..."she boasted while turning around for Nina to see her well. "Is now the latest employee of the INFINITY company".she concluded while clapping her hands in excitement. "Oh my God!"She stood up excitedly to hug Jane . "I am so happy for you baby girl.How on Earth did you do it?".she asked enthusiastically. "Well nothing serious,I just got asked a few questions and that's it.It wasn't hard at all" "I am so happy for you and please get ready to spend on me" "No
CHAPTER 2(CHEATED UPON) At the family home of Henry, he doesn't actually live with his family as he was a man that has already paved way for himself.He actually came to be with his dad for a little while.The house which was magnificent in nature,had a basketball court,a gym,and a very big courtyard.His Father Honourable Wilberforce,a divorcee in his early sixties who happened to be a very rich man that deals with petroleum and many other things to his credit is seated with his scotch drink by his side.He has always been a fan of the drink. One could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't in a good mood at all.He can't seem to get over the scene of his wife Gladys cheating on him with one of his business associates. Few years back, he woke up before his wife Gladys,took his bath,brushed his teeth and few minutes later,he was already wearing a suit.He had a flight to catch that ea
CHAPTER 1 (HOW IT STARTED) Nina has always been the type that envies her friend Jane.What is the bone of contention?.Her best friend's man.How did it all start? It was a sunny day at the beach,the sun not so hot was serving its purpose on the skin of people that had come to relax on the beach.Girls in bikinis running around,some people playing at the ocean tide,some lovers acting all romantic and showing affection,kids building sand houses. "Awwnn...look at that....so sexy"says Nina whose attention is solely fixed on lovers showing affection and acting romantic toward each other. "Look at what?"Says Jane who was trying to figure out what it was that was making her friend trip. "The lovers ofcourse...just look at the romantic scene"she says blushing "Stop looking at them like that before they see you which will in turn make them uncomfortable". "I don't care"says Nina,a beau
"What do you mean Nina?"shouted Jane . She had received a call from Ken her ex boyfriend that Nina had broken up with him. On hearing everything he said over the phone,she immediately made straight to Nina's house to confront her. "What do you mean by what do I mean?.You of all people know how much I love Henry." "Who is this Henry guy?.The guy you met at the beach. Now tell me,did your Henry call you after exchanging contact with him?.Did he?''.Jane enraged with fury asked her. "He did not but I did and guess what?.It turned out fine. Finer than I expected. Aren't you supposed to be happy for me Jane?" "Happy over what?.It's not like you and the Henry guy are dating anyway .You just met this guy and you are taking him seriously in this manner. Babe you are insane I swear to God". "Call it whatever you wanna call it. I have made my choice".she was alre
The sound of the birds chirping at the trees blessed the atmosphere,the distant happy screams and laughter of kids playing and the sun smiling at every creature within it's reach. It was a Saturday,Henry had taken Jane to the park for sight seeing. They walked together for awhile. While Jane was enjoying the view and having the fun of her life,Henry was staring at her.He had something he wanted to say to her but he felt the words he was about to say weren't constructed well enough for her to hear. Jane noticed his absence in the conversations that she brought up countless times then she paused and looked at him. He was indeed not present. She decided to converse with him. "I noticed you have been quiet since we got here"she said. "It's really nothing. I brought you out here to have fun". "And I am not. So how about that?. "I am sorry"he said with his face downwards. She knew that something wasn't right and wanted to find
It was night already and Henry thought for it to be a perfect opportunity to get Jane to know his house. " It's time for you to know my house"Henry said. " Really?"she was excited to hear that from him. " Yeah...you are my woman now and it's only right for you to know where I stay". " Okay so is it your family house or your own house?" She asked " Not my family house. My house. I will take you there whenever you want to. Or do you wanna go there now?" " No not yet. Let's go to your house" she smiled. " You are always beautiful. Your smile is everything". She could only smile more. Few minutes later,they got to his house. Henry's house was a magnificent building.It was a house made of glass,the corners were painted in white. The floors were made with marble It had a pool,and a small field. It was a beautiful house for a bachelor. Jane on seeing the house couldn'
It was a very long night for Jane and Henry. They didn't know when it was dawn. It was few minutes past 9 in the morning and that was when Henry got up. He looked at the beauty laying down beside him. She was still so beautiful even though she was fast asleep. He covered her with the duvet because they slept naked all night. He then kissed her on the forehead before he put on his short and went downstairs to prepare some food.Few minutes later,he was able to prepare bread and tea for her as breakfast. He brought the tray containing butter,omelet,bread and tea to her and placed it by the bed side before he woke her up."Sleeping beauty...it's time for you to wake up"She woke up and smiled on seeing his face."Good morning" she greeted."Morning my angel. Hope you slept well?""Yeah I did. How about you?"she asked."I have never slept well in a long while until last night" he replied.Sh
After they were done with lunch,Jane cleared the table and urged Henry to go check on his father. "Why don't you go check if your dad is okay and tell him we are ready to go" "Okay will do"he stood up from the chair and went upstairs. Wilberforce was standing by his window. One could tell that he was in deep thoughts. He was so lost in what he was thinking that he didn't notice Henry come in. Henry knew his father more than anyone that something was definitely troubling him. He walked close to him,but yet still Wilberforce still didn't notice him. He then tapped him on his shoulder which was what helped him out of his thoughts. Turning around,he sees his concerned looking son. Wilberforce never liked any of his children meeting him in that state, but he as well never wanted to lie to them. "Dad are you okay?"he asked . "Almost but yes" "What could be troubling you then?" Slightly tapped him
Henry and Jane got to his father's house. Jane couldn't believe her eyes at the magnificence of Wilberforce's house."Wow!"she exclaimed as she got out of the car."It's so big"her mouth still agape."My dick or the house?"he teased."Mr Henry I meant the house. You just like teasing me."she frowned her face."I'm sorry beautiful. You just make me happy"he said as he cupped her face in his hands which made her smile."I like it when you say that"she said."Shall we?"reminding her that they were to go inside."Oh..."They walked into the house which was another level of beauty on its own. The shiny chandeliers,the gold colour curtains,the flower vase,the paintings on the wall,the furnitures were what caught her eyes at that moment."This house is beautiful."she complimented, almost like she was talking to herself."Not as beautiful as you.I'll be right back"he left to sought for his dad.
"I was ummm...ummm..."she knelt down,knowing fully well that she wasn't going to win the fight."I am sorry. I don't know what came over me"she begged as she knelt on the floor.Henry was short of words, could this be the woman he wanted to marry. The same woman he introduced to his dad. He felt embarrassed and could only stare at her in dissapointment."Do you still want to marry her son?" Wilberforce asked,not like he didn't know what Henry's response was going to be but he wanted to give him the right to choose what he wanted."Never!"Henry replied coldly as he walked away from them.Vivian who was devastated tried to hold him back but couldn't get a grip on him. She started shedding tears."You are lucky it's not so late. You have the chance to pack your things and leave my house and my son without being punished this very minute or live to face my wrath ".She wanted to keep apologizing but the serious look in the f
"Are you okay sweetie?"asked Henry who was concerned at his girlfriend's countenance which was not so bright."I'm fine baby. Just a minor issue."she said as she sat down on the couch."She is crazy."almost like she was talking to herself."What did she say?"She looked at him and drew close to him making it possible for their faces to almost collide,then she stared straight into his eyes."She said I should let her have you for herself"she replied coldly with a frown on her face.Henry found what she said rather amusing and he couldn't help but laugh at the drama that was unraveling before him."Is this joke?"he asked still laughing at the subject."I never knew it was this serious"the smile still not dissappearing from his face."Now you think this is funny" replied Jane who thought that her man was taking everything she was saying for a joke."Not really...but...gosh!I don't even know her. I
CHAPTER 12 ( THE MISUNDERSTANDING 1)An angry and enraged looking Nina sat on her couch trying to assimilate the scenario she experienced earlier. She couldn't believe what she saw nor what her heart was telling her."How could this be?. How is this possible?. Jane my best friend betrayed me and took my man from behind me. And even had the guts to invite me for an introduction. How could she?"she yelled on top of her voice,throwing away the pillows sitting besides her on the couch."I will make her pay for this. I will so make her pay for this"she said to her herself conclusively.Confused Jane and Henry were seated in the home of Henry conversing on what happened earlier at the restaurant."Do you have any idea what the problem was or should I say is?. Because I am confused."Henry asked,trying to figure out what the problem was."She looked like she knew you. Do you know her?.""Ofcourse I know her. I met he
"It's a lie. Tell me that all you have said here right now is a joke"Nina inquired excitedly."It's not a lie. We did it.""What must have made you Jane Williams the almighty virgin of the planet give your stuff away like that. He must have been really worth it.""Yeah...I have never felt this way before Nina. I know it seems like everything happened so fast but my heart accepts the way it's going gradually. I love him. Funny enough,he has the same name as your beach boy crush who I have never met before"Jane laughed."Speaking of which...when are you gonna introduce me to your new boyfriend?"asked Nina inquisitively."Tomorrow night. I already told him about you and he is anticipating to meet you as well. It's gonna be a dinner night for 3""I really can't wait to meet him. and I am so happy for you Jane. It is such a relief to see you in love and happy"."Thanks"she smiled.The following day, Nina
