I sat down outside patiently waiting for Kacie to return back home from work. It's been two hours past the time her shifts normally end. I'm beginning to lose my patience, I really need to see her face. To hold her hand.The sound of a car driving in pulled my head up and made me stop fidgeting with my fingers.My eyes lowered down to the hands of Greg wrapped around her tiny waist and heaven knows I want to rip his flesh out of his damn bone.They both couldn't see me where I was sitting on her stairs giving Greg dangerous glares. To crown it all he kissed her on her forehead before going into his car. Hell she was even smiling and waving at him.I sat still and waited for her to come meet me and the shock on her face seeing me sitting there with my arms folded is priceless. “What are you doing here?" She asked quietly.“What does it look like pumpkin? I'm here to see you of course."She scoffed and brushed past me going to open her door. “Are you coming in or not?"“You don't need
I stared on as Zayn's mother breathing slowed down. I wasn't so sure if what I applied on her affected leg would help.The antidote I used was given to me by my late grandmother, I was little then__I never thought a time would come when I will have to use it. I've tried my best, the least I could do now is to wait for her to fight her way back because as it is now my life might as well be entwined with hers.I kept back the towel I used in calming her temperature down inside a bowl of water and carried it up to take it to the kitchen.“Don't you think we should take her to the hospital or should I call our family doctor?" Zayn asked from behind where he's been standing ever since I asked him to come back.“She will be fine.” I said. Even to my ears I sounded very unconvincing. “Let's leave her to rest, the venom will flow out of her system In a few minutes.” or hours.“After that you can take her to the hospital." I added so he might be at ease a little.“I'll just stay here with her.
“This restaurant looks very fancy and beautiful but...Why is it empty?” her eyes were all over scanning the empty tables around us.I acted like I was surprised too because if she knows I booked the entire restaurant for our date, she's likely to kick a fuss.“You didn't book the entire restaurant right?" Her eyes were fixed on me.“I didn't. You don't really like lemons, why are you having lemon bar for dessert?" I asked before popping an apple pie into my mouth.I had waited until my mother healed up completely before I picked a date for our date. Much to my relief she and my mother relationship are back to normal which only means one thing. I'm one step to winning my woman back.“You really know a lot about me don't you?" She was smiling.I shrugged.“You were my fiancèe for a year it would be a shame if I don't know a thing about you."She smiled again then focused her attention and continued eating on her dessert.“I want to try new things.”I nodded my head.“Might I venture to ask
Looking down at my burnt waffles with sleepy eyes I cursed silently before discarding it into my trash can.I woke up few minutes to six thanks to the blazing hunger In my stomach. For the past five days I've been feeling weird: always eating, sleeping almost all the time and I suddenly developed a lazy attitude.Looking at my burnt breakfast in my trash can I hissed in frustration before grabbing a bowl. I poured enough cereal that on a normal day I won't dare to finish it, poured in enough fresh fruit and milk before walking down to the living room to eat.Who could be calling so early in the morning. I stared at my vibrating phone in annoyance before picking it up. It might be someone important.“Hello." I mouthed into the phone.“I thought you wouldn't pick up.” I pulled the phone from my ear and looked at the strange number.“Josh how many times did you change your number this month? And why are you calling me this early, You're supposed to be sleeping.”“Yes. But I just wanted t
“Kacie darling, it's so nice to see you." Miriam pushed past me and engulfed Kacie in a hug.“The house hasn't been quite itself since you left." I groaned at her tone. She's been fussing the entire month, right after I kicked out the fake Alessandra to bring back Kacie and build a perfect family.She wouldn't let me have a breath comfortably without bringing up Kacie.“I'm sorry ma. I didn't mean to leave in such a manner." Kacie apologize and kissed her right cheek.“It's fine, as long as you're back now. We have a lot of catching up to do." I almost coughed. How will she react if I told her Kacie is yet to accept me back. I don't want to imagine it at all.“Are you hungry?" Miriam added leading her inside the house. I shook my head and followed them inside. It would have been perfect only if she had accepted me already, then I would be rest assured and focused on dealing with my uncle.“Where's Rafiq?” I asked coming back into the living after searching upstairs without seeing him
“You've got any plans today?" Zayn asked me.I was about saying no when I remembered promising Josh to come over for dinner. “Yes.”I had to spend the night at Zayn's because Rafiq had begged me to and I couldn't bear to deny him his wish.He even asked me to wait and have breakfast together with them and God__It was the most awkward breakfast I've had in my entire life.If not for Miriam I sure would have lost my sanity right at the dining table. And finally after breakfast when I thought I would be free from both father and son and just head home, they both walked their way into the kitchen where I was helping nanny Miriam out with the dishes and dragged me out begging me to help Rafiq out with his maths.Actually it was only Rafiq that did the saying but I could bet my salary that his father filled his head up with words to use so I would find it hard to reject his request.And to Zayn's happiness I couldn't reject helping Rafiq which is the only reason I'm still here till noon wh
“Do you think you can make it to my house tonight for dinner? My father is coming over so I thought it'd be nice to invite you guys.” I asked Eshe over the phone.“Sure. Of course." She answered giggling slightly.“I would love to."“Alright. See you soon." I said then hung up.Since my father said he was coming over for dinner today two weeks after we met. I'm so eager and anxious to see him again because he travelled out for business and he wasn't around. So we couldn't see each other and catch up on the time we lost although we talked twice on phone.I rushed to ask Josh who always looked like he knows much about my father to ask him what kind of dishes my father fancies.I wasn't so surprised when he told me Italian and Chinese food. I really have many things in common with my father, Now the problem is what should I prepare?Debating for more than an hour before I finally settled down to go for bruschetta, chicken parmesan and chicken pao.I glanced at my phone, few minutes past s
The next few days following my claiming Kacie back has been the best days of my whole life.Going on dates, having sex countless times and to conclude it all, she and Rafiq became so close I feared she won't have time for me anymore. I've been begging her like forever to move back in but at the end she would just say "I'm not ready yet, and I'm working now.”So our everyday routine is:she comes to my house whenever she's off work, spend time with Rafiq and me which is never enough and then I'll drive her back home.“Hey.” I said to a very surprised Kacie clad in just a towel.We were supposed to go out on a date by ten but here I am standing before her eight on a dot. Don't blame me, I can't help it. I can't even concentrate in the office if Kacie isn't beside me.“Hi." She said slowly when the surprise of seeing me wear off then she stepped back to allow me inside.“Are you aware you're two hours early?"“Two hours? I'm a little late if I came two hours before the agreed time.” I wal

“What will you like please?" I asked whoever was standing before me without lifting my eyes up from the tumbler I was arranging.“Tonic and gin.”“Okay.” I turned back to the stack of drinks arranged on the shelf behind me.“Here's your drink__" my words got trapped in my throat as I stared at the man sitting before me.“Kacie?" He voiced out.“Y-Yes, I'm Kacie." I managed to say as I took the man in. Green eyes just that his were a little dark than mine. His hair color. This man sitting here__this man is my father.“Can we go out and talk, don't worry I talked to your boss already so you're free to come with me. If you want to." He added stressing out the 'if I want to'“Sure. Let's go." I ignored the voice yelling in my head that I barely know this man, I only found out two days ago that I have a father and mother other than the monster and beast who brought me up. But somehow I quickly felt safe the moment I laid my eyes on this man.I took a quick glance at Olivia who was standing
