[ Mavis's POV ]It took me a few seconds to recognize who the lady in Leo's phone was. I am not the type to recognize people's face, but in the case of Denise's best friend, it was different."She is Denise's Best friend?" Leo asked. He was indeed so surprised that Bella Smith was Denise's friend."Yeah, I'm sure of it. I saw her at our wedding, and I think she knows I and Denise don't love each other like we made everyone believe.I clearly heard what Bella told Denise on the day we got married. She told her to call her if things gets too tough, and I knew she was actually referring to me. I heard their whispering conversation, but I chose to pretend like I didn't. If Denise could Bella about her marriage with me, that means she is Denise's best friend."Does that mean Best friends are dating Best friends?" Leo asked, and I frowned after he said that."What do you mean by that?" I asked."You are married to Denise, and sooner or later I will be with Bella, it clearly means that best
[ Mavis's POV ]I walked to the door to check who was at the door, and when I opened the door, I discovered it was the delivery I made from the boutique early this morning. I had told them to deliver Denise's dresses this evening, and I had forgotten about it."Good evening Mr. Mavis, we brought your orders just like you have instructed us to do" The chubby lady who came to deliver the dresses said, beaming a smile at me.I don't know why she was smiling because I didn't ask her to smile. "Stop smiling at me" I said to her rudely. Her teeth weren't even white and yet she kept showing it to me."Sorry" She said in a low voice giving me a paper to sign on. I signed the paper and took the delivery dresses from her."Thanks for patronizing us Mr. Mavis I hope.." I shot the door on her before she completed what she wanted to said.This is one of the reasons why I don't get along with ladies, they are always quick to fall for a handsome face with money in his pocket. I don't want to say all
[ Denise's POV ]The dresses Mavis bought for me were extremely beautiful and no doubt very expensive. They were three in number. The first gown was short, the second dress was a bit longer, while the last dress was long.I decided to go for the strapless body-con gown because I have never worn any short gown in my Twenty one years of living. The gowns I have always stopped on my knee joint, including the dresses Mavis got for me.I was amazed by how good it looked on me. Today is my first time wearing a body-con gown, and I realized I might not have a bogus backside, but I at least I have well shaped curved hips.I smiled at myself in the mirror, before going downstairs to meet Mavis. I was still mad at him for not apologizing to me, but I came to realize that no matter how angry I get, he won't apologize to me, because he is a proud peacock."I am ready" I said to Mavis who had his eyes fixed on the TV program he was watching.Mavis stood up from the chair he was sitting on, and rat
[ Mavis's POV ]I was pleased when Denise played along with the game. I thought she was going to be shaken because her ex-boyfriend was standing in front of her. It's hard to get over your first love, so I was expecting Denise to be swayed by Jake's words, but she didn't. Rather than getting swayed by his words, Denise supported me.I smiled when Denise said she loved me, even though I know she was lying, but as desperate as Jake was, he forcefully grabbed Denise's hand."You are lying Denise. Tell me it is not true, you are not in love with Mavis!!!" Jake saide in a loud voice attracting the attention of people that came to his party."What do you think you are doing Jake, let go of my hand" Denise said, trying to break free from his grip."I know you are lying Denise, you can't be in love with him, you are just covering up for him to make me sad" Jake said, still holding Denise's hand. Denise was hurting from the way Jake was holding her hand, so I punched him, and he fell to the gr
[ Denise's POV ]Mavis and I arrived at my house, and all through the way to my house, I badly wanted to ask Mavis about his dad. I was extremely shocked when he landed a slap on Mavis's face. I didn't know Mavis had a Dad until today at Jake's party. I can see the hateful dispute between Mavis and his dad, but how come about the hatred, why does Mavis hate his father and Jake so much?I thought within me.Mavis snapped his finger and that brought me to the present time of the world."Uh-huh" I said, looking at him, I have even forgotten that we are already in my neighborhood."Aren't you going to come down?" He asked, looking at me."Sure I will. What about you?" I asked."What about me?" He asked in return."Aren't you going to say Hi to my mom. I know we don't love each other, but until our divorce, she is still your mother-in-law" I said."I am not in the mood today Denise, maybe next time" He said, calmly. I clearly understand where Mavis was coming from. No one in his right mind
[ Denise's POV ]I was enjoying the kiss I was having with Mavis without realizing it. I had this sensational feeling after I felt Mavis's lips on mine. His lips were soft and had a mixture of tequila and strawberries, and I couldn't stop myself from kissing him back. As the kiss went on, Mavis's hand went inside the blouse I was wearing, and unhooked my bra, and that was when my senses returned back to me, I broke the kiss, and pushed Mavis away.Mavis's head landed on the bed, he drifted to sleep. I quickly left his room for mine, and I shut the door after I entered my room.I recalled how I reciprocated the kiss, and I screamed, scattering my hair. "Why did you kiss him back Denise, Why! Why!! Why!!!" I shouted at myself and at the same time, I slapped myself, my cheeks were red, because of the way I was slapping myself.Mavis was drunk, I shouldn't have kissed him back, I should have pushed him away instead of kissing him back. If something had happened between us, it could have b
[ Mavis's POV ]I came downstairs and I saw Denise sitting at the dining table eating already. I sat in the chair facing her, and Denise quickly buried her face on the food she was eating."You are going to choke if you continue eating that way" I said to her. Denise's head was buried in her food, and she was eating from it."It's not your choking spirit, so leave me alone . I like eating like this" Denise said. She was lying, because she was struggling to eat in that position. She is still kind of shy that she kissed me last night.I too was surprised that she kissed me back, but there is this sensational feeling that I have when Denise told me she kissed me, I don't know what it was, but somehow I just feel happy about it.But as annoying as I was, I decided to tease Denise about the kiss, and I also wanted to know why she kissed me back last night, because the Denise I know won't have hesitate to kill me."Why did you kiss me?" I asked, Denise choked immediately, and I smiled seein
[ Denise's POV ]When Mavis asked me why I kissed him, I lied to him. It wasn't for fun though, but it's clearly not because I feel something for Mavis. After what Jake did to me, I have decided to lock my heart from loving someone again, because I am really scared of getting my heart broken again, I don't want to go through a painful heartbreak again.I had to put on a serious face so that Mavis wouldn't think I enjoyed the kiss. I enjoyed kissing Mavis last night, his lips were just so soft and sweet. I had to wipe my lips in order to convince him that I meant what I said.I laughed when Mavis asked if I was beginning to fall in love with him, I didn't laugh just to spite him, I laughed because it was funny. He still has this believe that I am going to fall in love with his handsome face, but love isn't for me, and I am already regretting kissing him back. That's why I didn't want to talk about the kiss, but Mavis kept insisting on finding out why I kissed him.He got up from the ch
