" 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
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
Soraya sat in her lazy chair, her two-piece swimsuit hugging her in all the right places. She was born into a wealthy family and was also a spoiled princess. There was nothing daddy dearest wouldn't do for her if she was at her beck and call. This got into her head and made her arrogant with no regard for anyone. Despite this, she was a good businesswoman, and her father had no qualms about leaving his empire to her. Her dating life? Well, that was non-existent. She claimed dating and commitment was a waste of time and resources. She was rather interested in one night stands and then nothing more. Just to satisfy herself and then she was back to her daily lifestyle. “Hey Soraya, I've got some D for you." Her best friend Nichole said as she answered her call. “Good morning to you too Nichole, and where?" She asked interested. It had been a while she last had sex. “Tonight, Phebe Reborn NightClub, 9 pm," Nichole added. “Alright, I would be there. " She said as Nichole dropped the c
“Ouch!" Nichole rubbed the back of her head. “ Stop ogling at my driver, and Zed what have I said about taking off your shirt?" Soraya rudely asked. “Sorry." He said taking his breakfast to his room. “Stop being harsh on the guy, " Nichole reasoned. “He's just a driver Nichole, nothing else." She waved her off sipping her coffee instantly relaxing. “We'd be dropping you off at your office so get ready." She said to her friend who dropped her mug and plate into the sink. Soraya walked to her room to get ready for the day. Zed sat in the car waiting for Soraya and her friend to come out of the house. He couldn't take his eyes off his boss as she stepped out. She looked gorgeous as ever. He got out and opened the door for them to sit. “We're taking Nichole to her office first." She said to him as he drove off. “I would see you later Bitch!" Nichole said sticking her middle finger at her as Zed drove off. Zed kept looking at his bo
Zed trailed kisses down her neck making her moan his name out loud. She run her fingers down his torso. With his abs on display, he looked like adonis."It's time for you to wake up, Freya ."His hot breath fanned her neck, making her hair stand. "But I don't want to; I want to stay in bed with you." "Freya replied as the voice became louder and no longer sounded like Zed's." Wake up!" Her alarm went off, giving her a start. She slammed her hand against the alarm clock, instantly muting it. Why am I dreaming about Zed? Do I have feelings for him? Freya thought to herself as she got out of bed.No way, Zed likes Soraya, not me. And for the record I'm not falling for Zed. She convinced herself as she stepped into the shower. “Ma?" Zed called as he entered the hospital. He had to travel to see his mother, who had been admitted to the hospital. She had sprained her ankle and elbow two days before. She slipped on the stairs and fell, spraining her right hand in the process. "You didn
“ Good day, America. I've been trying to get busy bee, Soraya Wayne, on our show for a couple of weeks now, and it hasn't been easy. We were able to get her on the show today, so please help me welcome the prettiest, hardest working CEO and, oh, the Jersey City bachelorette, Soraya Wayne." Cecelia Vega called as Soraya strutted onto the stage like a runway model. As she took her seat, she smiled and waved to her audience. "Good day, Cecelia." She smiled. "You look stunning, Soraya." Cecelia congratulated. "I always do, but thank you anyway." She smiled. "Of course you do, so tell us why it's so difficult to reach you." "Didn't we almost give up?" Vega asked the crowd jokingly.“As a successful woman, I am usually very busy, making it difficult to reach me. Some people wait months to see me or have them on their show, so consider yourself fortunate that I'm on this show today." She bragged."Okay, to the reason you're here today, we've noticed you don't have a man in your life and o
"Hailey, we're going to be late for school." Sunny jolted her best friend awake. She stood up, rubbing her eyes and staring at her annoying friend. "Today is a holiday, dumbass." She sat up straight. "But why does it feel like we have somewhere to go?" Sunny enquired. "We do; today is the annual town float, and there will be a party afterwards." Hailey reminded her befuddled friend. “Ooooh!" Sunny remembered.“We must prepare then." She suggested. "The float will begin at 4 p.m." "Sunny, please let me sleep peacefully," Hailey pleaded. "I'd catch you later, sleepyhead." She said this as she walked down to the living room to watch TV.Zed walked into the kitchen bare-chested, wearing grey joggers. He assumed Soraya had gone out with her friends, as she had previously stated. He poured milk on his cereal from the carton. Soraya stood at the top of the stairs, staring at Zed's gorgeous body. She walked towards him, her finger trailing down her lips seductively. She was dressed in
The after-party was in full swing. Soraya sighed as she sat watching people have fun when she was bored. Her siblings were somewhere in the crowd. Not that she cared but she wasn't going to be their babysitter because they were old enough to take care of themselves. She could be doing better than being here. "Hi, "Becca stated while sitting close to her. “Hello." Soraya responded solemnly. Nichole walked over to her best friend as if on cue. She despised Becca's guts because she was a fake.“Hey, bestie." Rolling her eyes at Becca, she said. "Hey, bitch, how are you?" She inquired, oblivious to Becca's presence. After being ignored for several minutes, she stormed away in rage. "Ugh, the dumbass is finally gone."" Soraya slandered. "How come you entertained her?" Nichole asked a question. "I don't because she constantly pushes herself on me and tries to intrude into my life."" She clarified. "Oh well, let's forget about her and focus on the party." Do you have anyone coming hom
“Keith, congrats!" Hailey and Sunny cheered him up by inviting some of his friends to join them. He had finally graduated from high school and was about to begin college.Goodbye, Tessy. He thought to himself as he posed for photos with his classmates and friends. He was planning to attend New Jersey City University. It was only a few minutes from home.He locked his gaze on Sunny, who was taking a photo with his sister. He'd had a crush on her for years but had been too shy to admit it. He did the most insane thing that came to mind at the time. He approached them and kissed Sunny as he drew her closer to him. He expected her to pull away and slap him, but instead she drew him closer and deepened the kiss, much to everyone's surprise.Hailey smirked. She knew they liked each other, but they were both too afraid to admit it. Sunny's face flushed as she broke off the kiss. "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked, waiting for her answer.“ Yes, oh my gosh yes Keith I will be you

" 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
