CHAPTER 21✍️ I just nodded my head like he could see me, till I voiced out an answer. “Yes, of course. You can come pick me up at the house tomorrow.”I heard him sigh as he replied with a simple answer. “Okay, I’ll pick you up then tomorrow.”Immediately he hung up the phone, I squealed out throwing myself on my bed giggling to like a kid. I felt happy. I had never felt this happy in a long time.Finally, I could go out with such a handsome, hot, man. Who I know was clearly interested in me. I couldn’t wait to dress and…….A thought crossed my mind just as I made mention of the dress. I didn’t know what to wear. In-fact I didn’t have anything to wear. All the clothes in my closet were old and annoying.I wanted something more arousing and seductive. Wait a minute, I think I’ve an idea. I’ll probably get it done tomorrow while she’s out.I was finally able to catch some sleep after having different lovely thoughts run through my mind the whole night.Starr’s P
Chapter 22✍️I was caught, Not by Lizzy, Tania, or any of my close friend, but a man I didn’t think would ever find me in bed with another man, cause I told him days ago that I was single.I was just caught in bed not with a random stranger, but one who everyone knows was my best friend.I felt speechless as I stared at his shocked face, while his mouth was slightly open. The expression on his face was very priceless. I couldn’t point what exactly he felt. Was is anger? “No,” I thought to myself. “Yes, it was definitely jealousy.”He had that look of jealousy plastered on his face. I quickly pushed Kay off of me, grabbed the duvet and looked back at Seven.He cleared his throat before curtly speaking up. “I’m sorry I barged into the wrong room, but I thought this was Ella’s room.” Immediately I heard Ella’s name roll out of his mouth, I couldn’t help but think what he wanted from Ella by this time of the night. Yes, it was past 7pm.I also cleared my throat an
CHAPTER 23✍️No, no, I murmured and ran out of my room…….I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to Ella’s room, as I still prayed inwardly that the dress she wore should not be mine.I got to the front of her room door and pushed it open. I didn’t bother to knock.She was walking out of her bathroom when I got into her room. She didn’t look surprised. it was more like she was expecting me.She smiled, and I irked my eyebrows at her and asked her the question I came here to ask her. “Did you take my dress?” But she acted oblivious to the whole thing. She turned to face me directly and smirked before she answered.“What dress?” She asked, squinting her eyes, and that got me even more angry.“Don’t play smart with me and answer the fucking question. Did you take my black dress?” I asked again, but this time my voice was laced with anger.“Oh, that dress I wore to the dinner with Seven? The one you saw me on yesterday? It’s where it’s supposed to be, in the thrash c
chapter 24✍️So basically I had a boyfriend. I watched Seven come closer, he looked surprised as he stared at me before he came close and greeted Gab with a handshake.He also greeted Lizzy and came closer to me like he wanted to greet me, but as I opened my mouth to say something but he passed me without sparing me a glance.I felt a huge blow hit me. I leaned back and rested my whole body on the arm of his couch. Lizzy looked at me with pity and gab chuckled.I wanted to leave, but I didn’t want coming here to be in fruitless, I had to stay and talk to him.Few minutes later, he came downstairs with a short and loosed black T-shirt. He really looked hot, but I didn’t let myself stare too much cause I didn’t want to be tagged as creepy.They all spoke freely and laughed while I sat there watching them cause I wasn’t free and honestly I didn’t know what to say.My phone has been ringing, but I had been declining it. I didn’t want Kay to find out I was here in
chapter 25✍️“Do you think he can make you orgasm like I would do without no stress? Do you think he can fuck you like I would?” Immediately that rolled out of his mouth, I swallowed my spit before it’d choke me, but he continued.He brought his lips close to my ears as he spoke directly into it, my legs wiggled but I didn’t want to show it, “Oh, beautiful, you don’t want to imagine what I can do to you.He kissed the nape of my neck gently and this time I moved my hands to his arm to stop him, but he wouldn’t bulge. Next, he sucked deeply in my neck, I didn’t want what he was doing , but I couldn’t deny that I liked it. I did all I could to suppress the moan that was choking my throat.He kissed it one more time, and spoke, “But I can imagine my fingers working down there, and you screaming out my name.” Oh, god! I didn’t want to hear anymore so I tried shoving his hands that were on my waist so I could step out from his broad chest cage and successfully I did.He
Chapter 26✍️ Shit! What explanation would I give to him? I thought to myself. I moved closer to him to hold his hands, and he let me. He just stood there staring at me, probably searching for answers in my eyes. “Kay,” I began as I called out his name, but he was just too quiet, so I continued. “I can explain,” I added. “Exactly, and I’m waiting for it,” he said softly, like someone who wasn’t upset, but I knew he was. I knew it was time to come out plain, but I still contemplated in me if I should say the truth, will he forgive me? “I followed Lizzy to see someone, her boyfriend.” I said, and he responded almost immediately. “So her boyfriend gave you a hickey?” He said, his face straight and rigid. “What? No, no Kay, it wasn’t him.” I replied, stuttering. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Then who did?” He asked, but before I’d reply, he added. “Wait, Starr, please don’t tell me it’s that same guy.” He said, squinting his eyes, and I stopped talking as I stood loo
CHAPTER 27✍️I quickly ran out of his house. The gatekeeper was staring at me. I was sure he was wondering why I had run out like that.I went out of the gate and entered my car. My heart kept on racing. What did I just do? I questioned myself.I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have kissed him back! I said as I banged my hands on my wheels. Shit!Now he’d think I have fallen for him or something. I murmured to myself and my subconscious mind replied me. “Yes, you’ve fallen for him.” But I replied, shaking my head negatively.I couldn’t imagine doing that, falling in love. I sat there for about 30minutes, reminiscing about the kiss and I wouldn’t deny that it made me feel alive. I felt like a woman again after 2years and some months. And I wouldn’t deny that he made me fucking wet.Snapping out of my review, I started my car and drove home.I got home and opened the door. Ella was in the sitting room, watching a movie. I just moved past her and went up
Chapter 28✍️ I didn’t want to tell her I couldn’t, because this is the same guy I kissed few weeks back and ever since then I had been avoiding him, not taking his calls. And I haven’t been able to get my mind off him. But I had to give her an answer. I nodded my head positively, “Okay, I will if I have the opportunity cause we aren’t full friends, you know that right?” I asked her, but she simply just shook her head and pleaded with me with her eyes. I stopped trying to push it out and responded nodding my head in approval. I was going to speak to him tomorrow on your behalf, and she smiled widely and hugged me, whispering thank you in my ears and I batted my eyes in nervousness. After Ella left, Lizzy came in all happy and I asked her what was it, and she said it was her boyfriend. He got her gifts and took her out on a proper date yesterday. I sat there whilst checking her pictures that were all fine. Lizzy questioned me about how close I and Ella had been for the past two
My hands grasped the doorknob, and I pushed it open. The room was empty. For a moment I panicked. My heart raced, but the instant I heard the water running and then it stopped, I knew she was in.She was taking her bath. So I moved my legs to the window, knowing that she’d be out any moment from now.I stretched out my fingers, who has turned white from my nervous knuckles. Swiftly, I wiped my hands on my Jean to clean out the sweat that formed.Still waiting, I moved my legs to her desks where her laptop was, opened. A warmth spread through my chest as I gazed at her laptop, admiring her dedication.My eyes scanned the whole table, and it finally landed on a white thick nylon that had some pack of drugs.Is she not feeling too well? Why is she on drugs?One of it was already at the tip of the nylon, wanting to spill out. So I picked it up to read the content.But the bathroom door swung open. She stepped out and instantly she stood frozen immediately she set her eyes on me. With her
Sighing, I bursted out into laughter. This epistle is so funny. I knew she was hurt, and that, given my weeks of silence, she probably assumed I was tired of her and wanted to break up.I narrowed my eyes back to my parents and siblings.⏰⏰⏰TWO WEEKS LATERSquinted my eyes before heaving out the deep breath that I’ve kept in for so long.“What is your woman saying, man?” I inquired, narrowing my eyes in slight anger.Groaning, I responded immediately. “I thought you told me that she said Starr would be home today. What changed?” I took another deep breath as I tried to understand what he was spurting from the other end.“So for two weeks, she has been avoiding you? Is that it?” I asked him with my jaw clenching with anger.My eyes moved around trying to read what’s going on even from the other side of the phone.“Man, I think she’s lying or stalling. Maybe Starr is upstairs. Check it out for me. Go to her room and knock. She’s supposed to be back from work.”Tugging the root of my ha
Washington, Seattle⏰Momentarily, I turned my back to my father, before tugging the root of my hair then faced him again. “No, I’m not going to reconsider anything that man uttered. All of that he said, it’s just based on his daughter’s feelings and not for the company’s alignment.”Narrowing my eyes, I spoke again. “And moreover I told you and mom that I found someone that I love already so I meant it when I clearly stated last year, that the betrothal engagement is cut of.”“I only honored this invitation because of the respect I have for him, but since he wouldn’t get it through his head via email, that is the reason I came. To let it out myself so he and his family can leave us alone dad.”Still panting, I let it all out while my father just stood staring at me till I explained everything. “Okay, son. I understand.”Finally, I was glad when that came out of his mouth. He held me by my arms and motioned that we go back inside.“Thank you Terrence for having my son and I.” Trisha’s
Tension filled the room immediately and I saw her face melt into something I couldn’t get myself to understand. “Perfect, you’re a jealous one. Just like him.”She chuckled again, although this one was a little louder, earning a huge grin on her face before she spoke again. “Oh, I now see why you two are made for each other.” She stated chuckling, and again, she checked her phone for the ninth time.I arched my chin up as I began to wonder why she constantly kept on doing that.She picked up her phone from the table and scrolled through, typing something in it. Probably sent a message before placing it down back on the table. She took her eyes to me. “I’m sorry that you found that offensive, or rather I’m that you found me in your man’s shirt. It won’t happen again.” It was my time to chuckle. And I did before taking my eyes back to her. “No, don’t take it personal. I just……”“You know what Starr? It’s totally fine. I understand.” She stated as she leaned closer and placed her arms
It was a message from Seven’s first love. Camille.Why did she send me a message? Why does she want us to meet?I rolled my eyes and took it back to Lizzy and she widened hers and shrugged her shoulders. “What?”Grouchily, I responded. “Camille wants us to meet today.”A small smile spread across her face immediately. “Why that expression?” I quickly inquired.Chuckling, she replied. “Nothing. I’m just glad she probably wants to get things off her chest with you, so it’s a good one.”Without wasting any more seconds, I gave my honest response. “Well, I’m not going.”Lizzy bursted out laughing with her hands on her chest. “Oh Starr., I know you’ll. So quit the hard girl and go meet the woman trying to get between you and your man.”Time flew in a flurry of activity, and it was early evening.I quickly wore a knee length black gown and I short heel slippers to go with it.Hesitantly, I pulled up at the small parking lot and strolled inside.The shiny light in the room was very captivati
Restlessly, I kept turning around in my bed. I couldn’t sleep. I kept on drifting back to the conversation Seven and I had earlier today. Was I that bad? Am I possessed? Why can’t I keep a man just like every other woman?My mind reeled off to Ella. She knew of my condition now. I’m sure she’d blackmail me with it since she has always had eyes for Seven, so there was absolutely no way I’d win this.She would definitely force me to back out for her to take my place in his life. If I truly had one.I wasn’t ready to tell him. No. I couldn’t possibly look him in the eyes and say. “Hey, I’ve a freaking medical condition and I can’t conceive.” Yeah. That’s extremely funny.I just can’t. There is no way I am doing that. So the other option is just to let him be. But my heart can’t. I love him.Sighing, I placed my hand on my chest as I continued to heave heavily and think deep.Sighing out deeply for the up tenth time, I felt my chest tightened so quickly, I grasp the duvet and threw it off
Her gawking eyes followed me till I push the door open and went outside. She didn’t bother saying anything, the same goes for me and for some unknown reasons I was grateful.I wasn’t ready for any fake love or affection.Hastily, I walked to my car and stayed in there for some time, wiping away the constant tears that were dripping down.After successfully pouring everything out, I drove home and went inside, not spending another one second out there wallowing.The instant I pushed the door open, I met Chris and Gab in the sitting room with their woman giggling and all happy.They were definitely cracking jokes and grinning from ear to ear. Faking a small smile, I greeted them and moved closer to take Chris’s outstretched hands to shake me.After the short compliments and welcoming speech, I made sure I didn’t spare a slight glance to Lizzy’s way.I just ran upstairs and banged my door hard. Few minutes later, after taking a cold shower, I heard a soft knock on the door.Quickly, I wr
Chapter 77He took a step closer to me, his eyes locked on mine. Pain and hurt instantly filled his eyes. “Gone.” I furrowed my brows in confusion as I tried to understand what he meant by “Gone.”.“What do you mean by gone?”Biting his lower lips, he sniffed in a little and spoke again. “She died. It was still birth.” My eyes bulged out in pain for him and he hurried back to the windows, staring out at it. I took a deep breath, composing myself before speaking. “You shouldn’t blame yourself for that.” I spoke out, trying to comfort him.He turned to look at me as I continued, “You got separated. So there was absolutely no way you’d have been there for her.”Sewing in his sob, he spoke. “Apparently, she got pregnant and my parent already got me betrothed to Trisha right from when we were growing up because Trisha's family are also rich and they needed that contracted marriage.”“So I’m sure Camille’s mother figured it all out. That was the reason she took her
I didn’t know what to do next. One part of me wanted to storm out and confront Lizzy, while another part of me stayed frozen in shock.I stood there, unsure of how to react, as Lizzy continued her conversation, oblivious to my presence.As I stood there, I knew that my relationship with Seven would never be the same. The secrets and lied had created a rift, and I wasn’t sure if it would be amended.My secrets to him and his to me. He knew about all of this, and he made me think that I was overreacting.With my trembling hands, I wiped my tears, and gradually, without making a noise, I went out of her room.I approached the gate, pushed it open, and went into my car. I let my tears fall because I knew it was over for me.Trying to relax my racing heart, I placed my hands on my chest to calm myself. My drugs were in my bag, so there was no way I’d stop a huge panic attack if it set in.My hands caught my steering wheel, so I puffed out the gagging air in my throat, then revved the engin
