On the way back to golden springs Cody took off his ring and wrapped it in a paper and hid it in his empty migraine prescription bottle. He had wanted to text Myra but the truth is he had not taken her number and she had not even once texted or called him. He didn’t know why he was disappointed in her attitude didn’t she see him as her friend? Why was she treating him this way? Cody had never experienced what waiting felt like he had the girls throwing themselves easily at him so the actions of Myra left him confused. Did she throw the card away, didn’t she miss him?He turned to Seth who was focused on driving safely. “Seth, do you think Myra didn’t like the room we got her?” “Hmmm, we… hmmm I have no idea Mr. Whyte, you can find out from her tomorrow at work” Seth answered in a sarcastic tone.“Yes… I can find out tomorrow” Cody agreed not catching the sarcasm in his tone.“But Mr. Whyte why does it matter if she likes it or not… you’re only doing her a favor… or did she say she
Myra put her purse down and checked the time, it was a few hours before her shift starts. She decided to eat something before hurrying off to the lab. Just when she was finishing up her lunch Alison stormed in.“Great I was looking for you” she blurted out and took one chicken nugget from Myra’s plate.“What for?” Myra asked.“You know something Myra” Alison said getting closer to her as she sat at her dining table. “Since Mr. Whyte likes you I was thinking you could put in a good word for me so I can do my house…”“No! But who says he likes me? You should see him at the office, he doesn’t smile, he’s so mean and scary… I couldn’t possibly ask him for that kind of favor especially when he has done more than enough for me” Myra retorted.“You’re doing this for a friend Myra, you know the popular saying? A candle loses nothing by lightning other candles?” Alison pleaded.“I’m not a candle, I’m scared of Mr. Whyte, I spend my entire shift trying to avoid him” “For me Myra, this is for
Eileen and Cecily were happily singing in a mic in Eileen’s home, Cecily had come to cheer her up and this was one of her ways. She knew Eileen loved to sing so she planned a karaoke day to keep the singer happy. During her son’s party the paparazzi kept close tabs on Cecil and Eileen trying to see if they could find out who the biological father of Cecil was. Some headlines claimed she slept with her bodyguard, some claimed she was a crackhead who was raising a child for a man who wanted nothing to do with her. The headlines were mean and so were some comments. Being online depressed her and that was what led to her resorting to call Cecily so she could cheer her up.When they were tired and relaxing in the sofa, Cecily suddenly broke the silence by saying“But am I not your best friend?” Eileen gave her a confused look.“Why, did I ever say you weren’t?” “How come you’ve never told me who fathered a son with you? I don’t even know his last name, you said he’s my godson but I know
When Myra opened her eyes it fell on Cody’s sleeping face she sat up with a start and looked around she was in Cody’s bedroom in bed with Cody, she screamed and jumped out of the bed waking Cody up. When he opened his eyes Myra immediately covered her chest with her hands, she was wearing clothes from yesterday. Cody gave her a confused look then chuckled. “I didn’t do anything” he said knowing she thought he touched her. “Why am I in your bed?” She asked still covering her chest.“I fell asleep on the couch, you fell asleep on the floor, I woke up at dawn to take my meds and saw you on the floor, so I picked you up” Cody explained.“You… didn’t see anything?” Myra asked.“See what? Come on I don’t have time for that… if we ever do that I need you wide awake” Cody said getting out of bed. “And there’s no point in looking” he entered the bathroom and Myra blushed with embarrassment. She frowned and scoffed who did Cody think he was, who said there was no point in looking did he kn
“Mr. Whyte!” Myra exclaimed pushing him away.“What is it that you’re trying to say?” “I asked if you’d like to know what it feels like to be loved” Cody answered boldly.“Sometimes I fantasize about it… won’t be bad” she answered blushing all through her replies.“Would you like to try that with me?” Cody asked.“Mr. Whyte! How could you like someone like me, I’m too young I have nothing at all to offer you” she exclaimed again.“I’m not asking for anything, I’m just asking you to be you” Cody said showing a lot of emotions he barely showed to anyone except for Annalise. Myra grew uncomfortable she was looking for a way out when her phone beeped on the kitchen counter.“Oh darn it that must be my mum, haven’t been home since yesterday she must be worried sick” she said at the top of her voice.“You don’t live home anymore how will your mum know?” Cody queried her.“I guess that’s Alison then, I have to go Mr. Whyte… have a nice day” she said and hurried out of the kitchen she run t
The tablet sat on the table calling Amaya, Dylan sat in the sofa waiting for her to answer, Rosa sat beside him. The call got connected but Nina sat at the other end of the phone smiling. The smile faded when she saw Rosa seated beside Dylan. “Hello, Nina… erh how are you?” Dylan fidgeted. “I’m fine and you?” She answered with a straight face.“I’m fine, this is my new girlfriend…” Dylan lied he hadn’t even asked her to be his girlfriend but Rosa smiled anyway not caring how Dylan introduced her “Rosa this is… erh my cousin’s best friend Nina” Rosa waved at Nina with a friendly smile while Nina reluctantly waved back. Amaya was at Nina’s place and Nina had answered the call when Amaya had left her in the living room to go attend to her daughter. Rosa looked past Nina and scrutinized the background, it looked extremely familiar and now that she saw the familiarity Nina began to look familiar to her too. Just then images of a pregnant woman seated in a summerhouse and drinking tea
Amaya frantically scrolled through the photos on her phone Nina just sat there looking at her and sighing every minute. “Surprisingly, she’s not in my gallery” she exclaimed and Nina just rolled her eyes.“Dylan is a grown man, you don’t need to keep tabs on him and every woman he dates” Nina reminded her.“That is true, but this woman looks like someone I know” Amaya said.“Amaya, you take money from people and tail their men to find out if they’re cheating, is it surprising that this woman looks familiar?” Nina said mockingly.“I stopped doing that a long time ago, besides you were the one who encouraged me to do that business” Amaya accused her.“Because you were good at it… this woman could be one of the women who came to you for help long ago” Nina said casually.“Or she could’ve been a mistress” Amaya added.“What ever it is leave it in the past! Dylan is not your son let him grow on his own” Nina called her out.Nina calling her out seemed to have provoked Amaya, she was the re
Myra saw Cody off down the streets yet Cody’s car was at the parking lot but he didn’t want Myra to know because he wasn’t ready to answer why he was using a different car neither was he ready to introduce her to Seth. He didn’t want to give her any impression that he was rich or from an affluent background. He was trying to create an image, that he was an average worker in a company that paid well that’s all. Whatever he was selling Myra seemed to be buying it.“Mr. Whyte, did you mean what you said back there?” Myra asked.“What” Cody replied with another question.“What you told my dad, about helping me so you could make me work for you in future” Myra asked.Cody smiled and shook his head.“I told him what he wanted to hear, he likes to see you work for everything, he thinks your mother has spoilt you” Cody answered Myra smiled with relief.“How did you know? That’s exactly what he thinks” Myra confirmed.“I could see it on his face, but what he said is also true, nothing is
