Bella, it's fantastic to see you kept your word," Jess said as she and three additional friends entered."I said I would, " In any case, Kate here wants her hair done, Ana wants a manicure and pedicure, Claudia wants to get her hair redone, and I want a full spa treatment," she said.After a few weeks, Jess had employed personnel to handle the various services she had added to her salon."You've got it," Jess grinned.She addressed each of her customers as they approached and guided them to their workplace, saying, "Meg, Selly, and Ben...you heard the lady please attend to them."She motioned for Kate to take a seat and asked, "What hairdo do you want?"“ I want long blonde butterfly locks "She specified." Okay, I hope your hair is washed already, or do we need to wash it? "She inquired."We need to wash it, "She replied." Thanks a lot, Jess." Bella grinned. They all admired Ana's nails and decided to have their own done.“ No, thank you Bella for keeping your promise. Hope I'd see y
“What's with the bags, Noah?" Soraya inquired about entering the residence. He hadn't seen or heard from her in three days, and she was also ignoring his calls." I'm leaving, I feel I'm not needed here anymore. "I can't keep living in a home that isn't mine and feeling like I'm living off of you," he explained."And you didn't think to tell me ahead of time?" she scoffed.“ "With due respect, Soraya." I've been trying to contact you. It's been three good days and you haven't returned my calls. I know you're no longer interested in what we had, but it's only fair to inform me." He responded as she stood staring at him without saying anything." It was great while it lasted. "Have fun with him," he said as he approached the door with his bags."And oh, show him some respect, he deserves it. "Enough of being impolite to people." He walked over to the door and opened it, heading out." I might be able—"I could drop you off at home," she said as she caught up with him.“No, thank you; I c
“"Hey, where are you going?" Soraya inquired as Zed rose from his bed."I need to take a shower, I have work," he said with a smile."Can't you spare a minute for something quick?" In seduction, she bit her lower lip."I need to get there early, Babe," he added."Please, just one minute," she begged."Let me think about it," he said, winking at her." Fine, whatever, you're free to go." She lay flat on her stomach, her face turned to the other side of the bed. Zed yanked the duvet from her and lay on her back, covering her with it."Zed get off, you said you were leaving so leave," she said. “Are you sure?" he groaned rubbing his hard-on, on her ass. “ Of course I'm sure." she moaned. “ Okay, if you say so.." he trusted into her wet cunt from behind. “ I thought you were leaving..." she moaned. “Of course I am, " Zed said thrusting harder into her as she held on tighter to the sheets. “ Oh my gosh, Zed!" she moaned in ecstasy. ~~" It's been a pleasure getting to know you, Zayn.
" Hey, "Nurse Gina and Dr. Lilly sat in the cafeteria with Miguel and May."How are you?" May enquired."Nothing special, I was just about to leave. I'd leave you ladies to catch up on your ladies talk "Miguel walked away.“So?" Gina asked her friend, waiting for her to tell her what was going on between Miguel and her.“What?" May pretended not to understand what Gina was saying." May, what's going on between you two? Stop keeping us guessing." Lilly rolled her eyes at her." Nothing, we're just getting to know each other. "That's it," she stated flatly."Are you sure?" Gina asked, rubbing her chin."If something was going on between both of us, you girls would be the first to know," May said, hoping for something to happen between them. She couldn't bear the thought of losing him to another.“I've been paged. I'd see you, girls, later." May walked off. “ She's in denial." Lilly put. " She sure is," Gina added laughing. I'm not in loveSo don't forget itIt's just a silly phase
Nichole, Deven, and Val touched down in Jersey City. They had checked out from the airport and ordered a Uber to take them home. Some years back, Nichole would have thought twice about coming back, but now. She felt glad coming back, her past behind her and she had made a name for herself, a wonderful friend and the love of her life. Don't tell him I said that. " Your city is beautiful, " Deven broke her from her self-induced trance. "Yes, it is; thank God it's summer; I'm sick of the cold," Val spoke up, making them laugh.The house was bustling with visitors. Maids ran up and down the halls to assist with luggage. Nicolette attended to guests, thanking them for accepting her invitation.Jesse sat on the couch, taking a break from all the stress. He couldn't wait to get married and have his wife all to himself.Nichole, Deven, and Val exited the uber. Val was astounded by the size of her home. The maids rushed over to them and assisted them with their luggage." Where's the bride-t
" Jess, Freya?" Jackie said surprised to see her twin and her friend back at the mansion when she got home. " Much better now?" Freya asked her. " Now that you girls are here, I feel better than before. But how did you know I was hospitalised?" she raised a brow. " I called them," Drew answered. " Why?" she blurted out. "You needed their company. Besides, I needed someone to take care of you till we got back from the tour," he told her. " What tour?" she looked confused. " Alicia and Kyle, have a tour and I'm going with them as their manager to help boost their career," Drew explained. "And, I didn't know?" she dragged. " The day I was about telling you, was the very day I met you passed out on your bed. Besides you were hospitalised, you needed rest. Please let's not drag this." he sighed. " Fine! have fun on your tour, Mase." she stormed up to her room. "Jackie, I-I didn't mean it that way, please just hear me out," he called out after her. "Bye Drew!" she fumed. " We'd
" Sorry, I didn't ----- Noah?" Soraya called out to her ex surprised. The last time he left her house, she hadn't seen him heard from him since. He looked more handsome than before. I thought he was just a P.A? she couldn't help but wonder as she spotted the car he drove. " Ah, her majesty Soraya Wayne. How are you doing?" he inquired "I've been better," she smirked. " Loverboy too, ?" he referred to Zed. "We both doing good Noah, actually great." she nodded. " Good to hear, and I hope you are being nice to him as well?" he asked her. " Wh-what do you mean?" she raised a brow. " I said I hope you're treating him good? Respect and all? he rubbed his chin as he watched her fumble with her words like a pregnant fish. " Thought as much, it was good seeing you. Enjoy your day and I hope you don't loose him too." Noah added sitting in his car and driving off. Yada, yada, yada, ya! I remain Soraya, Wayne. No one can beat that. She said to herself as she walked to her car. ~~" We
" Watch your step, Jackie!" Drew rudely scolded as she descended the staircase. He was on edge for the past few days and it was getting Jackie bothered. " You know what, I'm not going anymore. Go with Alicia and Kyle. Find something to tell the host, like umm, I am down with the flu or something." she fumed climbing up the stairs. " I don't have time for your useless and senseless tantrums, suit yourself!" he responded with her tone and walked out banging the door loudly. Jackie shook her head as she stood at the window in her room looking down at Drew talking to Alicia and Kyle. A few minutes later, they sat in the car as he sped off in anger. Who pissed in his cereal this morning? she couldn't help but wonder. " Hey, girls," she picked her phone. Freya and Jess had face-timed her. " Bad time?" Jess asked her sister. " No, it's a good time. Just Mase throwing tantrums like a woman in her period, and I can't deal with that," she explained. " Is he edgy lately?" Freya asked. " Y
EPILOGUE. Zed: Can you come pick me up at the airport? Zed's text message rang over and over in her head as she drove to the airport. She couldn't describe how she was feeling at the moment. It was a mixed feeling. Her prayers had finally come to pass. All those nights where she cried herself to sleep had come to an end. She finally admitted to the fact that she had fallen head over heels in love with her ex-driver. What were people doing to say? Well, I don't give a rats ass about what people fucking say, She answered herself parking her car. Zed look through the sea of people searching to find Soraya within the pool of people, but there were too many people around so he couldn't find her. Where's she? Soraya moved round in circles searching for Zed but she couldn't him and the worst part of it was that his phone was off. Maybe he went home. He was tired of waiting. she thought to herself walking out clasping her hands over her head. " Excuse me, " a lady tapped her should
" Ma, you're welcome to my abode," Jess said opening the door for her. " Thanks, Jess." She carried her mother's bags into one of the empty master bedrooms in her apartment. Bringing her mother to her home was like fulfilment to her. She was at peace, for the first time in a few weeks. Amelia was done with high school and would be heading to college in a few weeks. She insisted she stayed back at Jamesborough to pack her stuff and hang out with friends before she said goodbye to those she wasn't going to college with. " Nice house you have here sweety," her mom complimented. " Thanks, mom, can I offer you something to eat or drink?" she inquired. " No baby, I'm fine for now. What I would love to do is to have a good bath and rest." " Then, let me leave you to it, I hope you're comfortable though?" she inquired of her. " Yes, dear," Jess stepped out of the room to answer her phone. " Hello?" she
" Hailey Wayne," her name was mentioned as she mounted up the podium. She stood there for a while looking around. She was thankful for her brother and her best friend for their immense support of her dreams." People were against me an aviation school to learn how to become a pilot one day. One may ask why? Well, according to them, my family was rich. I mean super rich so why didn't I work for them instead of following my stupid dreams that would land me nowhere. Ah, how I wish they were seated right here, I would have looked in their faces and said..." Bitch, I made it," she added as everyone chuckled." But to those who supported me, I love you and I am so glad I did not let you down. Youre the best!" she descended the stage and walked towards her seat where Keith and Sunny sat." I love you guys to the moon and back," she whispered to them." We can't love you any less," " Hailey, wait up!" Ansel caught up with them." What's up Ansel?" she rubbed her eyes." I just want a picture
" Slow down there Ansel, I thought you had a girlfriend already so why me?" Hailey lay on her bed listening to her best friend speak. " Yeah, I have--, I ha---, I mean I did have one." " You're fumbling with your words hunny. Do you or do you not have a girlfriend?" she asked again. " Alright, I do okay. But it's you I want." he turned to face her. " You can't have two girlfriends Ansel, let me make this easier for you. I've moved on. No, I am not seeing anyone else at the moment but I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone at the moment. I am so sorry." she apologized. " It's fine, thanks for being honest by the way. I'd see you at graduation day tomorrow," he added leaving her apartment. No more toxic relationships. " Sunny, how may I help you?" she rubbed her eyes. " Be expecting me in a few hours," she said via face time " Are you on a plane?" Hailey sat up. " Of course, I 
" Zed," Soraya knocked on his door. She had been to his office and he wasn't around. He checked the restaurant as well yet he wasn't there. " Hi Ma'am." a young maid opened the door. " Is Zed around?" she inquired of him from her. " I'm sorry but Mr Velasquez travelled for business this morning," she told her. " Oh, thank you," she replied turning on her heels. " Is there anything I could tell him or any information I could get across to him for you?" she asked. " JUST LET I--- " I'm sorry for yelling, I will try getting in touch with him. Thanks for your help," she responded hurrying to her car. But why wasn't he answering her calls? Was he ignoring her? Didn't he want her no more? Those questions run through her mind as she slightly banged her head on the stirring wheel. Her phone rang several times before she answered it. " Mom?" she impatiently called not in
She wore a blue faux-wrap V-neck sequin dress that hugged her figure tightly. Deven had planned a surprise for her that night, and she kept wondering what it was yet he never spoke a word. Val was no better, she pretended not to know anything about Deven taking her out tonight. Those two... I couldn't love them any less. She thought to herself as she picked up her matching clutch, looking into the mirror one last time before descending the staircase. Just as she got to the foot of the staircase, the doorbell rang. Perfect timing. " Come on in," she called as Deven entered. He wore a grey tuxedo, his white shirt wasn't fully buttoned and his toned chest was showing, his hair was parted to the side which made him look incredibly hot that night. In all, he looked charming. " Like what you see?" he broke her out of her self induced trance. " Uhuh..." she nodded slowly as he stretched out his hands to take hers. She ge
Jackie woke up to a tray of food beside her. She sat up shocked at the gesture. No one had done that for her before. Like she even had a man in her life before, pfff. She shyly covered her face as Drew stared at her with a smile on his. How come I didn't ask her out earlier? She looks so beautiful in the morning. Thank goodness I wasn't too late. " Imma go wash my face and brush my teeth...'d be back in a minute," she said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom. This seems so good to be true. She stood before the mirror brushing her mouth. " Babe breakfast's gonna get cold," Drew called. " Give me a second, please," she replied washing her mouth and face. " Aright," he answered walking towards her window and pulling the curtains apart. Jackie emerged from the bathroom and then sat on her bed. She gently poured the hot water into her cup before dumping her tea bag in it. She opened the other plate as the smell of bacon, sausages and baked beans hit her. They are alon
" Hey, you look stressed out, are you okay?" Sunny asked her boyfriend as he entered the house. " I'm fine...is there any food around here, 'm starving." he walked past her. "Sunny?!" he called startling her. " Is there any food in this house goddam it?!" he raised his voice at her again making her flinch. " Please don't hit me,"she murmured. " Yeah, there's, there's some pasta on fire...let me go check it and serve you your food," she answered shaking as she hurried past him to the kitchen. Her hands were still shaking as she took the food off the fire and dished Keith's food. She set it on the table with a bottle of root beer. Keith stood in front of the kitchen observing his girlfriend. She seemed so scared and was shaking the whole time. I shouldn't have screamed at her. He walked closer to her and put his hands on her waist making her flinch again. " Please, please don't hit me,"
" Oh hey," Freya said spotting Zed. He wore a hoodie and was walking along her street when he met her coming from her morning run. "Freya, it's been a while." he pulled down the hood. His face looked red. "Oh, yes, it has. What's up with you? Why are you looking so unkempt? "Did something happen to your company?" She peppered him with questions."Calm down, nothing happened to the business, it's doing great, in fact, I'm opening one out of town," he replied."That's fantastic news," she said as her phone rang."Hey love," Freya replied in front of Zed.She already moved on? he pondered walking away as Freya talked on the phone. "Sure see you in the evening then." she dropped the call. "So--" she lifted her head up to continue with the conversation with Zed but he was long gone. Where did he go? she shrugged walking towards the mall. Did she move on? I thought we had a thing going on. How come she moved on so fast? he slammed his hands on his steering wheel. Are you fucking kid
