In Love With You 34. The date 2
"Maybe because you are a billionaire?" She tilted her head a little with a smirk on her face. He smiled, lightly and unnoticeably at first, and then it became visible to her. She smiled too because she knew she just amused him. The waiter came back with an open bottle of wine, he poured it in both of their wine glasses and left."No, I don't think so.""You don't? Really?" He nodded to her question but now with a lighter smile. "Do you know how many girls, ladies, women even men out there, who would be willing to be your partner, they will marry you today, if you ask them to." "They are not you." He stopped smiling, talking with seriousness now."So you think I don't like money." She picked up her wine glass, smirking more as she shook the wine in the glass that was in her hand." I know You do, everyone does, but you're uninterested in my wealth.""And how would you know that, how are you sure I'm not doing this for your wealth." She drank from the glass.He smiled again, his eyes o

He was a handsome man, she had to admit. She was too angry earlier at the other restaurant where she slapped him to observe. She knew he was a good looking person from the few pictures of him she could find the night she stayed up, but looking at him now he was more than that."Satisfied?" He asked, after the waiter was back to clear the table."Yeah, it was really nice." She smiled but it occurred to her that he was asking if she was satisfied now he had drunk his wine." I didn't necessarily want you to drink it, you know what, let's forget that. Your mum, she said it wouldn't be a bad idea if we had this whole thing finalized this week, and I didn't wanna ask her but why they rush?"He didn't know how to answer her question at first but he figured that if she was ygoing to be his wife soon, whether it was an act or a real thing, she would have to know why the president was rushing all of this."In the whole of the Tn group, there has be one head, currently the head of the empire and

"It wasn't a date Amber." Victoria thought she should clarify that.She looked at the dress Jake had sent for her again. It was a dinner gown, it had a V-cut design and a silky lustre, she felt it when she touched it.There was also a pair of black shoes with a glassy heel, inside the box. Amber took them out looking at the size number written on one of them."Check if it fits you, I want to know if he somehow got the right size for you." She gave Victoria the shoes."What number is written on it?" Victoria asked collecting them."I don't see where it's written."Victoria tried them on and they fitted just perfectly. She stood and walked in them."It fits." She told Amber like she couldn't see her walking in them."Try the dress." Amber smiled excitedly."No, I'm too tired for that." Victoria was back on the bed. Taking off the black heels and putting them back in the box, Amber gave her the dress to keep too. "Maybe he's not that bad a person, like I thought.""And when did you ever

"You are still doing the advert?" Amber asked after the photoshoot. She had been in the training hall all day while her best friend was busy with her shoot."Somehow yes, but the video shoot was cancelled, it's just pictures now. You know Brown looked so angry when I was late this morning and the director too, I made him wait.""Don't look at me, it wasn't my fault, I woke you up.""I didn't say it was....""Urghh, I don't want to go in the bus with Brie and the others." Amber said when they both got to the reception and saw the bus waiting."Why?""Why? Are you seriously asking me why?""Wait, did you avoid them all day?" Victoria asked even though she thought she knew the answer to what she just asked."We could use an online map to return to the hotel?""Please Amber, let's just go with the bus.""Fine." She agreed. "Orrrrr?...." Amber said when Victoria thought she had agreed."Nope. When you say orrrr like that, I get worried.""Come on, hear me first." Amber begged."What?" "Or

"So that what?" Amber cut her again."Stop doing that, don't stop my words.""I have to, you are saying something I don't expect you to be saying.""What did I say?""I don't know, you are the one person I know that believes in love and now it's like you don't anymore, what happened?" Victoria didn't say anything after her for a while, she just pouted."So it's okay that you don't believe in love but it isn't now that I don't." She said in a sad tone."Tori." Amber called when she realized that they just had an argument for no good reason and even though they weren't mad at each other, she had just made her best friend sad. "I guess mine's okay because I always haven't believed in love but you, you are Tori, lovely Tori, who fucking loves love and it's disappointing that you don't love love anymore." She said watching Tori look at the paper in her hands like she was reading them but she obviously wasn't."I'm sorry." Amber said when Victoria wasn't still saying anything. "Tori? I sai

A day had gone by with Victoria preparing her mind for the D-Day with every passing moment. She could have sworn, back in highschool with Ken still around that her marriage was going to be special with a not so big but not so small wedding party but now she didn't mind at all.She was going to marry this billionaire and not ken but it didn't make a difference to her. She wanted to wear a long flowing White dress for her wedding in the presence of her grandma and Amber's mother but that wasn't happening,now she didn't even want her grandma to know of it. The only thing that wasn't changing was Amber's presence today, she was going to be her chief and only maid of honor. Checking how she looked in the mirror, she smiled, Amber had suggested the right dress when they went shopping yesterday. It was a simple but classy knee length white dress."You. Look. Amazing!" Amber complimented her when she came back from getting her shoes."Too amazing? Attention seeking amazing?""Nouuu, no no,

"I'm fine, I want to get married to you." She said noticing it was less sunny now than it was."You don't look convincing enough about that.""It's my first time getting married, I'm allowed to look as unconvincing and nervous as I can be." She said going back inside. When he came in, he saw that she was signing the paper. "Good, now I need you both to go out and take some pictures, there should be a photographer there. I want one of you both separately and one with you two together." He said computing some things into the computer in front of her."He should have just asked you guys to take those photos before starting the signing process." Amber said when they headed outside. "Where did he take you when you both left?""We just talked outside the door, nothing romantic Amber.""So he just tapped your shoulder and you went with him?""There's nothing romantic about that, is there?""Well...""O godddd." Victoria rolled her eyes.Jake was the first to take his picture, with his hands
Last Updated : 2023-12-06In Love With You 41. A long long drive
The drive was quiet as the car went on a casual speed. Victoria looked out through the window and watched the city to try and act like he wasn't there, seating on the other side of the car with her. She had tried so long through their drive to overcome the temptation of looking in his direction to know if he was looking at her or looking outside the window just like her but it didn't look like the car was stopping soon.They had been driving for more than an hour now and it looked darker outside. She checked the time on her phone and it was thirty eight minutes past six. She finally didn't care and turned to look at him. He was sitting still with his eyes closed, she couldn't tell if he was sleeping because he wasn't making a noise but she was glad he couldn't see her stare at him. His lips were pressed tightly against each other as he stayed in that position with his head resting on the car's headrest. Victoria thought he looked tired but handsome still and his jaws and chin were nea

"So, how's my brother-in-law doing?" "O my god, Amber, it's just for some months," Victoria told her friend and heard her laugh out loud over the phone."Mark my words, it's gonna be longer than that, way longer. I know love when I see it.""Here we go again.""You know I have a way to detect love when I see it.""And is that because he's billionaire Jake Topher?" Victoria laughed back before getting a knock on the door."Who is it?! Cora? Emily?" She asked, but when she didn't get a response, she decided to go for the door, leaving her phone on the bed."Give me a second, Amber,""Alright..." Amber replied to Victoria who was already by the door."Emily, I told you already, I eat all the types of fruits, so anyone you use to make my fruit salad is okay." Victoria started to talk before opening the door."Please don't come up to ask me again," She said on opening the door but saw that it wasn't Emily and neither was it Cora."Are you busy right now?" Jake asked her when she stood for s

"How did I? I guess I have a superpower, like you do" he reminded her of what she told him yesterday when they were alone in the kitchen.She laughed shortly."Okay, let's do this..." She had an idea to get him to tell her more of the things she wanted to know about him."How about I tell you about my grandma and our not-so-good relationship and then you tell me about you and your mother, and maybe your brother too?"Jake nodded. He didn't need her to tell him about her grandma because he knew her well, he knew about her relationship with her grandma but yet he nodded, anything to please her."Okay, I'll start." Victoria smiled. "My grandma is a nice woman, the nicest, I love my nana but...I haven't been on good terms with her since I turned eighteen, I mean there were a lot of things that led up to that but when I became eighteen, it kinda got out of hand." She paused and looked up from fiddling with her dish. After seeing that he was listening, she continued."I was in my Nana's roo

At the Topher mansion. Victoria was in her room taking a quick shower while Jake immediately went to the kitchen to do what she wanted him to do; cook. "Master?" Felix walked into the kitchen when he was walking by and saw Jake there. "Do you need the chef? I'll get him right away." "No. I don't need him, Felix." "Oh." Felix looked around for a bit, not wanting to ask Jake directly what he was doing in the kitchen if he didn't want the chef present for his orders. "I want to cook for my wife," Jake helped him out. "Oh," Felix said again. He wasn't surprised, he knew Jake cooked with her the previous night. "Do you need me to..." "No." "Okay." Felix left. Alone now, it occurred to Jake that he didn't even know what Victoria wanted to eat, he couldn't make a meal if he didn't know what she would like to eat. He knew he had to go up and ask her. He knocked on her room's door but didn't get a come-in like he expected so he knocked again. "Who is it?" He heard her as

"Why did you let someone leave with her?!" Jake's voice was unusually loud, it made Brown shiver. He was mostly glad that there weren't any of the models around to witness what was happening; he was glad no one was around to see Jake talk to him like that, the receptionist hadn't let for the day yet but she wasn't at her post."I...I....""You what?!" Jake stopped his stammering."He said that you....that you sent him. He said Mr Topher wanted him to....""Did you ask which?""....." Brown grew quiet when Jake asked that last question. It just occurred to him that Mr Topher could be either Jake or Max or even Gregory Topher.‘The fuck is wrong with me!!!’ Brown asked himself in his thoughts. Jake gave him one last glare before walking out of the building the same way he came.****Max kept his eyes on the woman in front of him. She wasn't drinking from her glass, it was still half filled like it was when the helper poured in both of their glasses. He didn't need to be told that she wa

Hours later,The designers discourse took hours. This was because they had to explain to the model about the fashion week as it was the first most of them were having.They were assigned numbers and were detailed with the processes involved. Victoria was glad she didn't miss it all. She learnt some things she didn't know before then and was excited for the approaching summer fashion week.Some of the models would walk the ramp on heels, some on slippers while some would go barefoot depending on the apparel being modelled."Victoria?" Someone called her amid her thoughts where she stood waiting for Amber to use the restroom. She turned and it was one of her fellow models, she wouldn't say but she was surprised that the girl knew her name."Yeah?" She responded to know why the girl was looking for her."Brown wants you in his office right now.""Oh okay." She said following her to Brown's office. When they got there, the girl knocked and poked her head inside the office."She's here." V

"Stop the car here!" Victoria made Jake stop the car suddenly when they were almost at the studio."Did you forget? I can't have you dropping me off at the direct entrance."Jake actually forgot about that.She left the car in a hurry, her handbag almost dropping from her shoulder. She was almost at the entrance when she turned back to the car, Jake wasn't leaving, he was waiting for her to go in.‘Why is he waiting?’ Victoria asked herself and decided to wave at the car so he could drive away. Jake smiled broadly when she waved at him, one of his rare smiles but no one was in the car to witness it. Victoria saw that he wasn't leaving so she walked back to the car. Jake rolled down the glass to the car's window before she could knock on it."Why are you still here?" She asked with a bossy voice that only made Jake smile at her without giving a response."Urghh, don't you have to be in your office or something? Go to your office, now!" She ordered him with her hands akimbo."Yes ma'am."

Next morning.0 9 : 1 4 am.Victoria was laying in bed, sleeping peacefully when the phone rang loudly, it woke her up with a jolt. When she checked, she saw that it was Amber calling so she answered."Tori?""Yeah?""You sound sleepy, please tell me that you are not in bed right now." Amber said and Victoria realized that she was probably late again.'Shit.' She said in her mind."Tori?" Amber called her again."I will be there in the next twenty five minutes, I think?" Victoria said getting out of bed."O my god, she is still in bed." Amber could tell."It's not my fault." Victoria was now in front of the wardrobe taking out a dress."There are some persons here to have a talk with us, all of us and you're not here yet.""Have they begun?" Victoria threw the dress to the bed as she asked worried that she might not be able to make it on time."Not yet, I think they are waiting for one of their team member to arrive at the studio before they begin. Hurry up, okay?" "Okay." Victoria p
In Love With You 66. Her Hug
Holding his hands, she attempted pulling him up so he helped her out, getting up like she wanted but he was surprised by what she did next. She stood on her toes and put her arms around his neck, hugging him before proceeding to whisper to him;"It's okay." Jake haven't had someone hug him like that since he turned eighteen and had to kill all of his feelings to take on his office as the vice president of the Tn group.His mother hugged him occasionally but those were mostly for her own self- gratifications and they didn't come with the sense of care Victoria's hug came with. When she hugged him, it made him feel warm inside for the first time in so long, it took away the iciness he had to keep up with, she melted him.Still unsure if to return the hug or not, he heard her say;"Things happen for a reason you know, it couldn't all be your fault." With less hesitation now, he put his arms around her, pulling her closer to himself, he hugged her back. Their torsos pressed against eac
