Their orders came and they settled in to have their drinks. "Zain, I was surprised when you called to say that we will be meeting today. I was wondering when you got back from picking up your sister-in-law. How is she doing?"Harrison said, breaking the silence that was almost enveloping us. "I don't know man, don't ask me. If you see her, you ask her" I said meanly. I don't like the fact that he brought up Jenny here. He had always fancied Jenny and had asked me on several occasions to give him her contact. I could not even bring myself to do it. "If only you would give her digits to me. I don't know why you don't want to do it. Are you planning on making her your second wife or what?"He asked. "Don't even go there, Harrison. I am married for heaven's sake""That's what you keep telling us when it's obvious you are still in love with your ex" I took a sip from my drink. "Zain, you have got to let your past go. She is not yours anymore. The earlier you get that
Jenny's point of view…. I stirred and opened my eyes. It was already dark and I could not believe I had slept for long without Susan waking me up. Or is she trying to be nice? I stretched myself and yawned, my body felt stuffed like I am not the one waking up from sleep now. I was supposed to be relaxed, not otherwise. I scratched my eyes trying to wake up fully. I was fully awake in a minute and placed my feet on the floor. At that moment a knock came out the door. "Perfect timing"I hissed audibly. The person at the door is lucky I am not still sleeping, if not my shadow would have answered him or her. The door opened before I could invite the person in, I was ready to lash at the person when I saw that it was Susan. She walked in and sat on my bed then stare at me. "Were you sleeping, Jenny?"She asked with a soft voice. I had to stylishly clean my ear to be sure I heard her correctly. "I was. Do you want me to do something for you?"I asked politely. "No, so
Jenny's point of view…. I came out of the Bathroom and I was mad to see Owen in my room sitting on my bed as if he is the boss of the room. I can't deny the fact that his brother is the owner of the house but he should be a gentleman and respect himself by not coming into my room without my permission. What if I did not go into the bathroom with a towel and come out naked? That's how he would have seen my nakedness for free and the fact that he didn't even apologize got me mad and I felt insulted. The guy has got some nerve. He has to respect himself in this house or I will show you what a lady can do when her privacy is invaded. So he was here because he is hungry and had to give me all that insult. I thought when you want to ask for a favor you ask politely. I settled down on the dressing table and began creaming my body. For saying all that he said, he would have to wait when I am done here. I heard some feet step and I turned around to see Zain staring at me som
I cried for so many minutes and when my tears ceased pouring, I wiped my eyes with the back of my palm and stood up. "Jenny, you are more than this. Zain remains your ex and the earlier you get that into your head the better for your emotional health." My inner self said.I stood up and went in search of clothes to wear after I had washed my face. I don't want to leave the room and anyone would ask me what happened to my face or for Zain to see that I cried. I hissed when I remembered that Owen had asked that I give him food and I am sure fifteen minutes had gone by since he left my room. What would have happened if he had come back to see what is keeping me and found Zain with me? I can't even imagine. I killed the thought the moment it crossed my mind. I checked myself to see if there was any sign of sadness in my eyes but there was none. My eyes might look okay, and my lips might smile but my heart is heavy. I feel betrayed and used and on it, I feel he was here to
Zain's point of view….I walked to my room still feeling the impact of the slap on my cheeks. It stinks like hell and if I am not mistaken, it might be red. That's what you get for kissing an ex only that I don't see her as one. And I do not feel any remorse for kissing her, it felt so right. I don't know but you see Jenny, I will get her back. I don't care what's going to come of this. My heart has been longing for her for so long.Jenny's point of view….. We both moved to the living room, and I decided to chit-chat with him, maybe get to know him. Something might come out of it, if Zain gets to see me being close to his brother he might leave me alone. I doubt that. "So tell me, what was your growing up like?"He asked the moment we sat down.Growing up was so much fun for me. Being the last born, I could do anything and get away with it and while dad was alive, he loved me so much. Susan and I did not have the best relationship yet I was not bothered because I have got this frien
"Dear Diary,I began, "I am here at my sister's place and a lot has happened. You know how I feel about coming here. Because of mum, I had to do it. Zain could not stop making me feel like he still has a place in my heart. I know what I feel for him is love but he is married for crying out loud. He's so confident and arrogant at the same time. I don't want to be rude. At first, I was being rigid but at some point, I said that being friends with him can help both of us while I am here. After all, we are no longer an item and I shouldn't hold any grudges against him. He made his choice and I understand that. I want him to also understand that he's not my life anymore, he can't be married to my sister and still want to have something to do with me. If it ever gets to that point then I don't know how I'm going to handle it. My heart says otherwise and my head says another thing. My body always reacts whenever he is so close and he knows that is my weakest point and he wants to
For Tasha to have the nerve to tell me her feelings even when she knows my stance about girls' and girls' relationships. It means it has gotten up to her neck and she can't deny it anymore. That's the last thing I will ever do, involving myself in a romantic relationship with a lady. I don't understand how they do it, maybe it's because I haven't experienced a thing like that but if you ever ask me, I will tell you that boys are the best, opposite sex relationship is the ultimate. After I ended the call with her, I continued staring at my screen as if I was expecting another call. Lo and behold Moris called me and it was bad timing for me because I didn't have the urge to talk to him and he, calling at this moment means one thing; video call, and when I say video call, you should understand what I mean. I grumpily picked up the call and wished that it would end as soon as I picked it up. I just hoped something will happen and a video call with him will not happen tonight becau
I closed my room door and found my phone blinking which means a text is coming in. I checked it, there was a missed call from Lucas and a text from him as well. I swiped the phone open and the text read. "You are the most beautiful thing I saw today. I am indeed blessed to have seen an angel in a human form. Your smile, the way you talk, and the way you carry yourself are just everything. I just want you to keep smiling, even if it is not for the world but for me and I tell you today that I will make sure that smile remains on your face. Have a wonderful night rest, Angel. Even though Angels don't sleep, I will want you to sleep. Hug pillows and sleep like the baby you are. Someone cares from this side of the world." I felt my face and it was burning from blushing. This is the first time I am receiving a romantic text from someone and I must tell you I am tripping already. But is it not so early to start feeling like he is going to worship me if we ever become an item?
"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
