I would say staying around them you will smile a lot because I have been smiling since and he just has this way of making me smile. "I will definitely not stop smiling because a smile is like makeup you have got to wear and takes absolutely nothing from you to smile." He studied me for a while which I kind of found out that he has been doing since he met me outside. "You are poetic. I like you. I don't know, it's like I said this outside. I like your sense of humor and your maturity and the way you talk and compose yourself. You carry yourself with this so much respect that anyone around you would want to respect you too. I think that's why my sister click here"He said. "What can I say? I am just being me, it doesn't take anything from being who you are, and about the maturity things, you talk as if I am a little girl""Of course, you're a little girl. I read people's ages. It's like a gift I have got so I can practically tell you how old you are" What he said w
June led us to this mini dining room with portrait pictures of each person on the wall. The same wallpaper they use in the living room was used here and I was beginning to think maybe they used the wallpaper all over the house but I can't tell since I have not gotten around the house or the rooms. "Please sit."June said to me and sat followed by the two of them. She has set the breakfast. I guessed that's what she went to do when she left the living room. "What are we having?"Thomas asked as he relaxed in his seat. "We are having pasta. It's been a long time since we had one in this house." June responded and started opening the dishes. She made pasta with stew. Truth be told, I don't feel hungry and I don't know the best way to tell them. I should have insisted on not coming. My phone vibrated inside my pocket and I fished it out. Mom was calling me."I excused myself and left to pick up the call. "Morning mom""Morning darling. I hope you slept well.She asked.
Jenny's point of view….. The breakfast took us about fifteen minutes or so. I left after I told them that I would visit again because I was going out with my sister so I needed to leave. Thomas couldn't let me go without having my digital. I just have a debt to settle. I have learned my lessons, next time I would not go around betting again. I was so surprised to see Zain at the door looking around. I think he was looking for me and my heart melted at the thought but gosh, I can't show that so I walked past him like he is Invisible. I have probably been doing more Of it today. I walked into my room and set the tools on the table and folded Zain's sketch. I will do more work on it and maybe post it on Instagram. My mind went back to Zain and I realized that he was dressed up, which means we will be leaving soon. I rushed to my closet in search of something to wear. I was on it when my phone beeped indicating a message. It could only be one out of two people, Tash
Tasha's Mom pulled a stool and asked Tasha to sit down. "Now tell me, what's going on between you two?" Tasha knew her mom was not going to stop the topic yet she was not prepared to talk about it. In fact, there is nothing to talk about. It will sound crazy if she tells her mom how she feels towards Jenny. "Mom, nothing is going on. Jenny and I need some break"She said and her mom smiled. This young lady in her front thinks she is a kid who can't read the handwriting on the wall. "I could ask Jenny and if she tells me there is something, you will have it hot with me so better spill now" She persuaded further and Tasha shrugged off her shoulders. "Mom, I'm sure if you ask Jenny, she will tell you there is nothing. So don't even bother or you can try"Her mom scrutinized her for a while and said okay. "Call Trucy for me" Tasha nodded and left to get her brother. Mrs Martins picked up her daughter's phone and clicked it open and then took Jenny's digital from
I felt angry and sad at the same time. Tasha means everything to me and if she wants to do this then I think she needs her space, maybe when I am not there she will have a clear head to think that not everyone stays Forever in the circle of friendship I just hope that when she comes out of this delusional state of hers, we will go back to the way we used to be. I put my phone back in my bag and relaxed my back then closed my eyes. I stayed like that with a lot of things running through my mind. One of the car doors opened and I opened my eyes to see Zain sliding into the back through the other side of the door. I was waiting to see Susan enter too but she did not come in nor is she close by because I looked through the window to see if she was coming. "Stop searching around for her, she is not coming"Zain said and closed the door. I kept mute and closed my eyes again. If he wants to strike up a conversation with me, it is a failed attempt. I felt a hand snuck behind my back and f
Zain's point of view…. Jenny's response to my confession broke my heart. I thought after listening to me she will change her mind. What was I expecting? For her to run back into my arms after the betrayal. I don't even expect her to yet my being wants her to forgive me and give us a chance again. She is actually in love with someone else. It has to be the guy back home or Lucas. I nodded at her and stepped down from the car and went back into the hospital. I just took a stroll to come talk things over with Jenny and it ended in heartbreak. I will just have to accept it but moving on, I don't think I can do that. I got to the waiting room and Susan is no longer seating where I left her which means she has gone to see the doctor. My phone beeped in my pocket and I brought it out to see a text message from her asking to come to the doctor's office. I rushed to the Doctor's office. I don't need to start asking around because I know my way around here. The doctor is the
I got outside and saw Trucy inside his black sporty car, the car that mum got for him on his 19th birthday. I will be having mine soon by next month. I can't wait to be a car owner. "Can't you at least dress like a girl for once" Trucy whined as I settled in. I rolled my eyes. He should not just start his own right now because I can't have him and mom complaining about my lifestyle. I have been dressing like this since I was a kid and they did not see anything wrong with it. I am turning Eighteen, suddenly they start seeing something wrong with it. They can't expect me to change overnight which I am not even planning to do. "I am surprised this is coming from you, bro, there is nothing wrong with the way I dressed. Let's roll and stop fussing over how I am dressed."I said. Trucy waived his right hand in the air, "whatever"I rolled my eyes for the third time in a while. He has to stop being this way because I don't care. Hopefully, mom would not tamper with my wardrobe
Zain's point of view…. Throughout our drive home, my hands were shaking. The drama Jenny displayed at the hospital, I don't know what to say. She scared the hell out of me. I had imagined what would have become of my state right now if the issue was serious. At intervals, I would look back to check on her. She laid her head back on the seat but I can't say if she is sleeping. I now understand why she did not want to go inside the hospital with us. I have never seen anyone react the way she did. I know I care about her so much but I wasn't aware it was to this extent. I sighed for the sixth time in a short while."Jenny!"I called her. "Hmmm" She murmured in reply."Do you want me to get anything for you?"I asked with the hope she would say yes. I really want to pamper her and tell her how much I care about her. My pregnant wife is in the hospital ready to undergo SC and here I am taking her sister home. Please someone should ask me what my priority is.
"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
