Lucas watched me for a while then gave me a toothy smile.

"It's fine though. I have a sister who is like you. She will be twenty but if you see her you will think she is twenty-five."

He said and wiped his mouth,

"I like you a lot and your level of maturity. You don't act your age"

He said more like he is proud of me. I smiled,

"Thanks so much. Your turn"

I said to him and his body language says he doesn't want to talk about himself because he kept staring at me when I told him it was his turn.

"You are not saying anything"

I added, which followed another silence from him.

"Okay, I get it. You don't want to talk about you?"

He saw my frown and laughed quietly.

"Do you expect me to talk about myself when you are not ready to say anything about yourself?"

He asked instead and I formed my mouth in 'O'. The reason he kept quiet is that I refused to talk about myself.

"Sorry"

I apologized.

"If you don't want to take about yourself, you can talk about the wine

    We spent the remaining time chatting and gisting, getting to know each other, our likes and our dislikes. He's a funny guy and I find communicating with him easy. It's like when I am with him I can talk anyhow I want without minding if he will be offended or not. We made jokes and laughed. He encouraged me and I encouraged him. He asked me all I knew about business and I gave him my intakes. He couldn't stop praising me, telling me how much I know about business and he urged me to go into business if I can. I told him that I have a thing for business and I would want to venture into it after I am done with college. "I had fun today and I want to do this again" I said with a cheeky smile. "Sure we will definitely do it some other time, there is no doubt. I enjoyed my day" He said and stood up, I stood up as well and picked up my purse and we left the VIP lounge.

    Calling Tasha was next. No matter how awkward things are beginning to turn between us, I would still treat her like I always do. Nothing changed, she is one million people put together and as long as we are friends, I will cherish her. She is a babe and more. She picked up at once, and I heard her sigh, “I thought something had happened to you. I am glad you are okay” She said immediately. “Sorry Tasha, I did not realize you called” I apologized to her. “Are you avoiding me?” She asked after I apologized. Instead of her acknowledging that she understands, she is asking if I am avoiding her. I mean, why should I do that? “No, I am not” “Well, I thought you were and had to call your mom.” She responded and a sigh escaped from my mouth. “I missed you and decided to call to check up on you. Jenny, I just want you to know nothing has changed between us so stop acting all pussy, bye” She added and hung the call on me. I sensed anger and bi

  • In Love With My Brother-in-law   Getting Suspicious

    I woke up, and a shiver ran down my spine. I was lying on the cold floor for God knows how. I think I cried to sleep. Running my fingers over my face, I realized how sticky it feels. I could feel the dried tears. I sighed and tried to stand up, but could not. My whole body felt stiff. I groaned and laid back on the floor. I tried to remember how my day has been and the only good memory of today I had so far is going out with Lucas. Not only that, but I don't know if my sister and her husband are back, and if she will need me to do anything for her, so I stood up finally and ran a bath to help myself wash off my puffy face and also to relax my body. A warm bath will do. As I sat in the bath, I tried as much as possible to let the water relieve off every tension in my system, both physically and emotionally. I don't need anyone to tell me that it's over between Moris and me. We were over a long time ago, I just did not realize it. I stood up fifteen m

    Tasha continued to answer questions thrown at her. At some point, someone asked her if she can tag the lady that she is in love with so that they can see her. She thought for a while and when I thought she was not going to say anything she tagged me, I was mad, but her next message melted my heart. “I know you will probably be seeing this now, and I know you are mad at me for mentioning you, but I can't help it. I hope you realize how much you mean to me and run into my arms. I love you so much, Jenny”Uproars followed her message and a lot were gushing over me, likely those who went to check my DP. “Gush, she is so beautiful and I am on crushing on her already”One said. “She looks like a baby doll, I hope she accepts you soon.”Another said. More comments followed and as I read them, my head began to spin around and I logged out before I would get a headache. I felt the urge to puke, and I rushed into the bathroom to empty my stomach. When I was done, I felt relieved

  • In Love With My Brother-in-law   Tasha's Obsession

    Jenny's point of view….. I sat on the kitchen stool as I waited for my rice to be ready. Susan said we are having rice and beef sauce. I made the sauce already, and I was waiting for the rice to get ready. Today is almost over, and it has not been productive enough. Zain walked into the kitchen and picked a glass. He wants to drink water, I guess. As he said in the morning, he has been keeping to his lane. He has not said anything or even attempted to say anything to me, and I was uncomfortable about it. It was great having him keep to himself, but I don't want it. “Zain” I called softly, and he turned with his brows raised. “What is it?” “There is something on your cheek” I told him, and he raised his hand to his face and wiped off the invisible stuff on his face. I smiled to myself, he actually believed me. I was just seeking his attention. "It's still there" I said and walked to him and stood in front of him. I smiled at him

  • In Love With My Brother-in-law   Worst Mistake

    Writer's Point of view….. Zain and Susan ate their meal, while he could not stop thinking about Jenny. The little scenario in the kitchen has shown she missed him, and it was a good start for her not to deny it. He knows she refused to stay in the living for a while because of him, which is the truth. Susan and Owen occasionally glance at themselves, with the hope that Zain's mind was not there with them. He actually saw them at some point but pretended not to see them. He finished eating and excused himself with the dirty dishes and headed to the kitchen.He came out of the kitchen and walked towards Jenny's room. He knows his wife will not miss him much because Owen will keep her busy. He got to the room and gently opened the door. Her light was, he flipped the switch and her room light came on. He walked to the bed and found her asleep with her lips parted a little. He caressed her chin and she stirred in her sleep but still did not open her eyes. She looks so vul

  • In Love With My Brother-in-law   Distance Makes The Heart Fonder

    Tasha lay face up on her big bed. She has waited for Jenny to text her back, but it looks like she has to wait for an eternity. She replaced her phone earlier. Tasha just has to understand that Jenny might not text and go to bed. She can't force Jenny to love her, but she can make Jenny love her. She just has to trust the process and put more effort and not being mean, being kind enough and expressing her feelings to Jenny might actually soften Jenny's heart, and she would accept her. Tasha is not the one to give up on what she wants. She is a goal-getter. She sighed and turned on the bed. Her door slightly opened and her elder brother, Trucy walked into the room with a full smile on his face but when he saw how sad Tasha is looking, the smile on his face slipped off. “Hey, kid sister, what's with the face?” He asked and sat on her bed. Tasha looked at him for some time and looked away. “Nothing, just battling demons. What are you doing here?”

    Tasha got to her mom's room and entered without knocking. “I don't remember having you as the co-owner of this room” Mrs Martins said. She sat behind her dressing table, cleaning her face. She's already in her nightwear ready to sleep or probably waiting for Tasha to come. “Sorry mom, no offence intended” Tasha said stylishly and hopped on her mom's bed. “You always do that, and you end up apologizing. When will you learn common courtesy? I don't own this room with you, so stop barging into my room without knocking, or I will ban you from coming into my room” “Alright, Mom. Understood. So Trucy said you want to talk to me, what is it, momma?” Mrs Martins dropped the facial wipe and turned to face her daughter, “As a matter of fact, I do. Is there something you would like to talk to me about? I mean your personal life. You know, mother to daughter talk?" Tasha stared at her mom, with her brows raised, she was lost and her state of confusion was obv

    "We are with you every step of the way," Mom said after a while. The silence was threatening to engulf us, thank God she broke it. "You will have to do me a favor. In no circumstances should you tell anyone where I am. If possible, deny ever seeing me." I pleaded with Mom "It's going to be hard but we will do it," Miss Celine assured me, holding my shoulders. "I guess your mom and I had to be the one keeping ourselves company from now on. This is for the best. Just know that I will miss you dearly." She added, smiling at me. It seemed to break something inside me as tears were already filling my eyes. She held me tight, not letting go for several seconds before letting go and I wiped my tears. " Okay, guys let's go see what there is to eat?" She shouted and Michael wriggled himself down from my arms, both of them ran to her as she took them out of the room. She blew kisses to me before exiting the room "Find the kitchen yourself. You are now part of the family," Mom shouted after t

    I continued when it was obvious she was not going to say anything until I was done "It was like nature was with me, your stay back home lingered and school wasn't opening anytime soon. I was initially at Tasha's place and her mom being a nurse, she was getting closer to knowing the truth so I looked for an alternative and that's where Miss Celine came in. My spirit accepted her the moment I saw her and I knew I was going to trust her, so we told her about my pregnancy and the circumstances surrounding it. She took me in without questions. I found out she was unmarried and which I found odd. I was eight months gone when you returned back home, I had to keep lying to you to let me be at Tasha's place. "After I delivered the twins three months to my sixteenth birthday, I could not keep lying to you so a month later I returned home and three months later school was reopened."She let go of my hands and sat on her bed, "so how did they survive without you and what about the money

    I walked through the door and halted. The door was slightly opened so I was able to open it noiselessly. She was cooking and it was my favorite, oatmeal. Looked like she missed me and she decided to prepare the meal for her so she doesn't miss me much. I was just so glad she was okay, that b*stard did not harm her. I dropped my handbag on one of the dinner chairs and walked towards the kitchen, tiptoeing. She was having her back on me, facing the pot and stirring the content inside. Her hair was packed up and she had one of her favorite red long gowns on. I saw her back stiffened and she swiftly turned towards me. I stood moving and stared at her speechless. Her expression turned from rigid to surprise then to mild. She walked towards me in a flash and engulfed me in her arms,"oh! My baby! I have missed you so much." She said rocking me to and fro. I had to check my brain to remember when I saw her last and it was yesterday. How come she missed me so much? "Mom, I m

    I stood fazed for a moment, trying to understand what she said. Like, was she for real. I have not got out of the one I entered and another lady was on the line to finish me completely but looking at the offer, it was something that would favor me. She was beautiful and curvy. How would Jenny feel if she gets to know that I replaced her the day she left? It would be depressing and I think I like the sound of that. "Is that all?" I asked, smiling. She was surprised, her expression said so. I bet you she was not expecting me to agree to that. "Yeah but are you for real?" she replied slowly, raising her eyebrows at me and looking puzzled. I sighed deeply before nodding and saying, "yes.""Or are you not interested again?" I questioned, raising my brows this time around. "Of course I am interested," she responded, getting up and smiling coyly at me, "I will do anything you want and you will not regret that.""I bet I won't. The name is Zain Zidat and you are?" "Lora Leigh.""Ni

    For a moment I froze, not moving, allowing him to kiss me. It was grossing but I must admit, I kind of like the feeling but so to say, it was irritating at the same time.I slowly parted my lips and let out a breathy sigh against his mouth, I could feel Felix smiling against me.As he broke the kiss I felt a tingling sensation in my stomach. "How dare you kiss me like that?!" I snapped as I tried to pull away."How dare I!? Well, what'chu gonna do 'bout it? Don't try to escape me!" He smirked.I scoffed before crossing my arms "Oh yeah?""Yeah, you should feel lucky that it isn't me who is trying to get away right now."I narrowed my eyebrows at him. He smiled at me before chuckling.I huffed, "shut up!""Make me," he murmured under his breath before leaning forward kissing me again. I suddenly became angry and pushed him away, made to get out of the car but he gripped my wrist," I am sorry if I overstepped my boundary." He whispered.I sighed and leaned my head back on the head

    "Hi Tasha, were you planning to leave without going into the ice cream shop?" Felix asked, walking over to me. He had a plastic bag with him and it looked like he just stepped out because his sports car was parked a few inches away from the shop or let's say he was just coming into the ice cream shop for the first time today which I doubted. I really don't get it, the Shylins are one of the richest in town yet Mrs Shylin, his grandmother runs an ice cream shop. I chuckled nervously," Ahaaa! not really."I responded, scratching my hair in an awkward manner. "Let me get this straight, you had in mind to come here and at the last minute, you changed your mind because you might run into me?" He caught me right there and I didn't know how to tell him he was wrong which I know he was not. I chuckled as I nodded, "yeah, that's what it sounds like."He gave me an odd look before he turned towards the door and started walking in. "Felix darling, where did you go?"I heard Mrs Shyli

    Zain and Thomas met the trio at the entrance of the house as they were about to go out like Thomas requested. Thomas stared at Harrison and cringed, the aura he was getting from Harrison wasn't a good one and before he could understand why, Harrison spoke up. "Hey Zain, where are you going, looking like you lost your life," Harrison commented looking concerned. "I am just stepping out with Thomas, I did not realize you guys were coming over to my house." Zain said, trying not to look like his problem. "Oh, sorry about that. We came to congratulate Jenny on her engagement with you, telling you would have spoiled the surprise."Harrison said and walked in leaving them standing at the door. Zain turned to Thomas,"can we do this later?""Sure. When you are done let me know," Thomas replied, giving him a gentle smile and left for his own house. Zain turned on his heels and walked back into the house followed by Ethan and Nathan. Harrison was seated before the trio walked into the livi

    Jenny's point of view… When I saw Celine's call, I was relieved. It means she was safe and sound with my kids. I had to pretend as if nothing was wrong because she was this sensitive person that smells your trouble from faraway. I was sitting inside the car, parked at a stop for over fifteen minutes now with no destination in mind. I knew I was going to go home but was I ready to explain to mom that I had kids? How I was able to hide the pregnancy from her. She will be mad, so mad that it would take grace for her to understand that I did what I did because I wasn't ready to face her. "I am glad you are but we need to talk." That statement alone was ready to give me a heart attack. Though this was not the first time she had mentioned 'we need to talk' that kind of thing. It was like her every other day phrase but today, regarding what I had gone through in the past few hours I wasn't sure if they were okay so I panicked. I was worried and expecting her to talk but she was taking ti

    Zain's point of view…. The moment the door closed I went down on my knees, clutching my heart. It was breaking into pieces and I could not do anything about it. I did not stop her from leaving and I was not sure it was the right thing to do. What can I do for her to forgive me? Wasn't she supposed to tell me that she has not forgiven me instead of going this extreme and was I to hate her after everything? It was obvious she stopped loving me a long time ago and I had foolishly thought she still loved me. "Zain, it's your fault. If you had not looked in another direction, what is happening now would have been prevented. Deal with the rejection or find a way to get her back but let her off for a while, you both need your space." I advised myself which seemed like the worst advice ever. I was not strong enough to live without her, she actually gave me my ring back, wow! "Jenny, why?" I kept asking that question. This was too much for me to bear. She indeed planned this reven
