I WANT YOU BACK One
She stopped walking and looked well at the person few feet away from her, standing in this same direction.What was he doing here? He wasn't supposed to come back. He was suppose to be handling his dream job.And she is supposed to be out of the airport, hailing for a cab with her sister instead of gaping at her ex-husband.'Amber, what is it?' She heard her sister in front of her.'Nothing.' She begun to walk to meet her.She looked back, making sure she was not being followed, or maybe she was just exaggerating; she saw his back and his sides, maybe it was somebody else and he was putting on shades. Maybe......Yeah! It was definitely someone else, if he was the one, he would have moved to her....if he saw her perhaps and besides he couldn't possibly remember her after a year? No, not possible .....but how could she remember him after a year? She usually don't remember the boyfriends who didn't mean a thing to her. Maybe because his sister

She looked at her twin sister as she slept; a lot of persons until now could not differentiate between her and Jessie, because they were just too similar; she had wondered if she could one day live like Jessie; traveling the world, painting, doing exhibitions and going to exhibitions. A fun and adventurous life. Her life was equally fun; she attends conference at the head office, attend international meetings, every Saturday night; she and her friends hit the club for fun and she was back home to her dog by 11:50pm.That was fun for her.Jessie was beautiful and talented, she had cut her hair to reach the base of her neck and she (Amber) had refused because she felt her hair enhances her beauty.'Jess.' She tugged her sister's arm to wake up.The cab had stopped and the driver was bringing out her luggage from the truck of his car.'Can't I just sleep for a whole day?' She grumbled as her eyes fluttered opened.'You can if yo

Few minutes after she showered, she saw Skype walking round the front door and then she went downstairs to open it.'Where did you go girl?' She asked her.Skype just shake her head and whimpered.'Alright.''You know, you should let that dog go out a bit, a run or something.' She heard her sister as she walked through the hall.'I do that.''Oh okay!' She said before entering her room; the room Amber had reserved for her.'Alright, good night, Skype.' She stroke her dog and kissed her before walking upstairs to Jessie's room.'Amber, do you think I can get a job in the company, I love painting, I do but is it a bad thing to try other things?'Amber sat on her bed. Her father had insisted she get a job, to have something to fall back on, that painting was just a hobby but he didn't need to convince Jessie of the point he was making because Jessie would say proudly that painting was her source of livelihood. 'Of course not,

She sighed as Susan's screamed, making her shock.'Bachelorette parties are awesome!' Cassie shouted behind her. She knew that because she experienced one herself.They sat down in front of the stage, Susan sitting with a crown on her head and a swarl round her shoulders. On it was written; Bride to be.She didn't think she could have fun. Cassie had actually hired those male stripers, she was completely sure it was Susan's idea; after a few rounds of dancing and more than a few drinks, she began to feel lightheaded. She moved close to the bride, away from the two men who were trying to hold her back to dance with them.'I need to use the bathroom.'Her friend just nod and she went away from the sea of people.She was smiling freely until her feet stopped by the ladies' door. She turned to look at the person standing at end of the bar, standing with his hand in the pocket and drink in one hand.What was Nicholas doing here? When did he get b

She smiled as she sat down beside her mom on the table for six; her mom, dad, Anthony, Jessie wasn't on her seat, Jake and her cousin; Florence, she just came by to say hi. The couple were dancing and some other couples had joined them on the dance floor.She had left them to be away from Nicholas hawk eyes that didn't waver in her direction; she could breathe normally and think again about other things that was not Nicholas Mitchell.'Hello.' She heard behind her.She gasps silently and rolled her eyes, he just had to follow her here.'Nicholas!' She heard her mom's enthusiastic voice; happy to see him. Her mother never liked him because he couldn't afford to pay for the entire wedding but what changed; she asked as Nicholas hugged her.He smiled at her father; her dad still had a liking of him; he was a good employee.He looked at Jake after he had hugged Florence, waiting for introductions.She looked away; he didn't need to be

She sighed as Jessie past her; ever since the bachelorette party; Amber hadn't felt the need to talk to her sister because of so much questions she feared Jessie had answers to and Jessie had ignored her anyway, because even she didn't have anything to say to her.She sighed; she wasn't used to remaining furious with someone she lived with, she walked to Jessie's room, just before she could put off the light.Jessie saw her at the door. 'Did you need something, Amber?'She started to say no but she knew she couldn't stay angry with Jessie for no reason especially for a man she was trying so hard to forget he exists.'Have you seen Nicholas?'She sighed tiredly like she didn't have time for such interrogations but she answered anyway. The look in Amber's eye, told her, she couldn't hide everything forever..... eventually she would come to know everything.'Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you earlier. I met him before you did at the airport.' She had

A week later, she was looking cheerful, she decided to fetch gorceries and she was happy she didn't see Nicholas much to her surprise, it confirmed that he had always been interested in Jessie and still is.She smiled warmly at the security guard before entering; he smiled back flustered and even the manager smiled at her.'You never stop looking stunning, Ms.''Only you say that, Walls.'He smiled; he was happy to serve her anytime; she had been the one who got him this store and funny thing she didn't have pay for anything she buys from here but after a lot of argument, he'd let her off with a huge discount.'Can I be your assistant?' He asked.'I am fine, Walls.' She picked a stroller. 'I will call you if I need anything.' She said heading towards the toiletries.She was making the trip because her schedule next week was crazy; she had meetings to attend. Jessie never have time, she work Monday to Friday and the weekends she wasn't always

She walked to the kitchen; once she had dropped the things she brought on the counter, she went back to on her answering machine and played for any messages in her absence.'Hello, this is Amber Page, I am busy right now, leave a message.' She heard before she turned her attention to the gorceries on the counter, she began to unpack.'Hey, babe. Just called to say Hi.......I missed you; can we have lunch tomorrow.....call me.' She heard; Jake sounded like he needed something.'Hey, Babe, this is your best friend; the client said the shipping won't be this week, he said next month..... I was upset when I heard; that man likes procrastinating...... I hope you are having a relaxing weekend..... enjoy, see you on Monday.' Cassie's voice ended; he sure likes procrastinating.... about a relaxing weekend.....so far it has been heated. When......She stopped her thinking as she hears her sister's voice.'I don't know where you went, what is keeping you so l

His heart skipped. There was something she wasn't telling him. This was a confession.'I love you...... I don't know if I have said that yet.' She continued; when he said nothing but scanned her face for a slight change that she might be joking.....But Amber didn't say what she didn't mean; she was not joking but something intrigued him.'Did you ever stopped loving me?'She smiled and pressed her body to his; raised her toes and kissed his cheek with the slowest motion ever before she whispered. 'No. I always have and I always will.'His hand tighten their hold round her. She turned to look him in the eye. She looked at his eyes , delicious lips; he could kiss like no other. His ticklish nose and his amazing ears. God had given her a beautiful husband, she couldn't be more grateful.'Thank you. Nicholas.' She said quietly.Nicholas raised his gaze from her lips to her eyes. 'What for, Amber?''For coming back to me.'Ra

Cassie had without hiding it, in the presence of Amber before he climbed into his car said; 'Finally, I thought this would never end. Staying in someone's house, when you have your own.'Maxwell had just gently pulled Cassie into his arms before Amber hugged her and went into her car.They were both happy, Amber and Nicholas decided to live under same roof as before and Nicholas was the most happiest, that out of a lot, he got to back to his house, he enjoyed with Amber.Their house.He increased the volume of the love song that played in his car and nod his head several times. Following the music and repeatedly drummed his fingers on his wheel.The only problems, he had right now was Jake and he has to continue with the restaurant.Skype couldn't be happier than him when he saw his car and then saw him bring out his luggages from the truck; Skype barked loudly inside the house; her barks could be heard from outside.Amber s

She smiled at Jake's neighbor, as she climbed the flight of stairs to Jake's door. She had given her boyfriend; two days space, to get over whatever he was feeling, decided to let him call first but he hadn't called or texted; so she decided to pay him a visit instead of calling.She was here now, with a cake in her hand to celebrate his birthday, which was today and spendtime with him; and have that talk they've been avoiding.'Luke, good afternoon.' She greeted Jake's neighbor by his left, as he came down the stairstowards her; she had to shift to one side, for him to pass; because the stairwell wasn't big rnough for two persons to pass at the same time.'Hello, beautiful.' Luke said as he passed her and stopped behind her.She turned to look at him. 'Hey, handsome.' She smiled. Luke was quite a charmer, quiteentertaining than Jake.'Is that cake I perceive?' He said with a smile; bringing his nose to the cake that is covered. He

She sighed as the radio filled the car, she was driving and Jake by her side.Unfortunately no man cancelled, they both wanted to go to the wedding and they both wanted to dance with her.She wasn't the most prettiest in the universe, why didn't Jake think of someone to carry along or why didn't Nicholas bring Apirl?She pondered on these questions as she made a U-turn.She took a glimpse of Jake beside her.Jake had had lunch with her a week ago; he had apologized for raising his voice and he wanted her to promise him; she would not give him up for Nicholas. But Amber didn't make that promise, because she knew, it was her life that was being spoken of here. So instead she told him, nothing would stop her from making right decision for herself.Which meant it was either him or Nicholas or neither.She could make her decision at the end.He didn't even pursue the topic, instead spoke about how he was going to celebrate her birthday that was com

They sat round the table for two.Amber smiled; when they saw the candles on the table and the bottle of her favorite wine.Rather, their favorite wine. They drank this wine after a family gathering; when everyone except the both of them had retired to bed. After they had cleaned the kitchen, they would take a bottle of wine and two glasses to their room and celebrate for a successful day gone. Nicholas would take three glasses and Amber the rest of the bottle; she always found herself in her short nightie in his arms and his legs over her, the next morning.'Really? You could have just told me, it was DIAMOND's Nick.' She said with a smile.He couldn't be more proud of being her husband right now.'It would ruin the surprise.' He said taking his menu to look at.He gave her, hers though it was right in front of her.When he gestured for the waiter, she asked him. 'Is there anything special happening?' she dropped her menu.He smiled. 'M

She felt mentally weak and her spirits low, she had not slept the previous night except thinking about Nicholas and Jake, Nicholas' kiss, the way she responded to him.She hit her forehead with her left hand and she sank in her seat. Why did she even kiss him? She had told him to stop kissing her and instead of her to push him away, she embraces him only to be enveloped, smeared and blessed with his lips, she forbade herself from giving into, from the same lips she promised herself not to kiss because of her relationship with Jake.God! How can she deal with this?And her feelings for him has surfaced and and this time in thousand folds overriding the one she felt for Jake.She is still in love with Nicholas Mitchell; her husband who left her and was back.She had told him; she agreed to his terms; he would do anything to win her back, by performing his marital roles, and giving her the time to spend with Jake, isn't it infidelity? Apparently the only o

Cassie, are you serious right now?' She asked as Cassie picked her up from the airport.Truth! She had been totally bored for a week, attending meetings and attending shows, her father told her to visit her uncle while she was there and she had called Cassie before she slept off last night to be at the airport to pick her up at 12 when her plane landed.She won't lie that she didn't enjoy the short visit to her aunt's school which she owned and her cousins were excited to see her but she couldn't lie that she didn't miss home and Skype.And she just heard from her friend that she was pregnant! Wow.'Cassie, are you serious?' She smiled half laughing.She looked at her friend as she drove.'Does Maxwell know?' She asked her.Cassie blushed. 'Yes,.'Why did she think that; he wouldn't know, of course Maxwell would know, he knows everything about Cassie.'How long are you?''Three weeks now.'Amber shrieked, looking at he

She frowned as the door opened and Jake showed his face.She sighed and went back to her work.After last night; she had sent him a message instead of calling; she didn't feel like hearing from him; that was why she didn't call in the first place.Now, he was here; doing what?When Lucy had told her; he was here; she had wanted to tell him, I am not available right now but instead she thought; that would give him a reason to question her, he would ask her about Nicholas that was totally irrelevant and to show him she is completely cool after what he said last night; she had to see him; show him; who was more rational in this relationship.'Hey, Babe.' He said as he walked through the large room to meet her desk.She gave him a lazy smile. 'Hey, Jake.' She wasn't a good mood to talk to him right now.He sat on the visitor's chair; and looked at the documents on the table in front of her and a pen, cup of coffee by it.'Are you almost
