After breakfast, Derrick left the apartment to meet up with Lyla as scheduled. He had chosen a restaurant as the meeting place. He booked a private room in the restaurant for that purpose. He arrived at the place first, parked his car two blocks away and walked to the location with a disguise. He was taken to the private room he had booked. He ordered a cup of coffee as he waited for Lyla who had not arrived yet. He sipped his coffee as he read a session in an entertainment magazine he had picked up from the stand at the restaurant reception on his way in. He checked his time, twenty minutes had already passed and Lyla was still not in. He picked up his phone and called her. "Hello," Derrick said as soon as the call connected."Hi" replied Lyla."Where are you? Are you coming?" Derrick questioned in annoyance. "I am at home. Aren't you coming to pick me up?" Lyla asked in a relaxed tone."Pick you up? What do you mean pick you up? What did I give you an address for?" Derrick question
She smiled and later left the restaurant pretending to be sad, but Derrick had already left. As soon as she steps out of the restaurant, she scouts the environment for Derrick but he is nowhere to be found. She walked to the roadside with a long face. She plans on feigning illness to get Derrick to take her home and spend time with her, but it looks like that isn't going to happen since Derrick is already gone. Annoyed, she stood by the roadside trying to get a taxi back home. Just then a black Porsche stopped in front of her. She frowned at first but realized who it was when the window was rolled down. "Get in," Derrick said."No, I came here by myself, and I would go by myself," Lyla declined trying to get Derrick to coax her to sit in his car.She rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest looking elsewhere like she didn't need the ride, but inwardly she was happy with the attention she was getting from Derrick. Derrick asked her one more time already getting irritated
"I am sure, he is the only man who has touched me," she repeated and her aunty stared at her with a hand folded across her chest."You better be sure about this," Paula said and left Lyla for the kitchen.Back at the club, Derrick was not sure when he had passed out, but when he opened his eyes, he frowned looking at his environment. He was sitting on a chair surrounded by some half-naked ladies. One was giving him a lap dance and the other giving him a shoulder massage.He drove them away from himself faster than lightning speed. He checked his wallet and realized he had spent all the money he had inside it. He got up, buckled his belt and stepped out of the bar. He then realizes how late it was."Oh my God, Lily," he thought as he ran towards his car and quickly started the engine once he was behind the wheel."Hey asshole, you didn't pay the lap dancers," yelled the bar owner.Derrick ignored him and drove off towards his apartment."He just apologized to Lily not long ago and today
Luis carried Rose to his room to finish their make-out session leaving his phone on the sofa in the living room."Let's get married," Luis said to Rose as he held her in his arms stroking her back lovingly."Really?" Rose replied lifting her head from his chest astonished to meet his gaze."Yeah, really, I want to spend my whole life with you and I want to make all your dreams come true," Luis said affectionately."Wait, isn't that the lyrics of a song? Jyve V English version of the Spanish song, Solo a tu lado quiero vivir?" Rose said staring at Luis."Huh! I didn't know you speak Spanish now. Well, that is not important, would you marry me?" Luis asked again and Rose smiled, resting her head back on Luis's chest."Okay," she replied shyly."Just, okay? Do you want to be married to me?" Luis asked again.Rose nodded, keeping her head on his chest. He smiled and flipped her over, covering her with half of his body as he lay on top of her. She shyly tried to find a place to hide from hi
Derrick was silent for a while as Luis stared at him. Luis could read worry written all over him. Derrick's situation was quite delicate and Luis can understand how Derrick feels. If anything Luis knows what it feels like to lose a woman you love."Thanks, bro, but Lily is furious at me now. I don't know what else to do. I need her," Derrick complained."Just go home and handle it like you have handled every other issue you two have encountered. Love her more," Luis advised.Derrick managed to smile, "I hope you are not suggesting sex therapy because I know your idea of showing more love automatically translates into more sex," he said smiling."Who told you that?" Luis asked curiously raising one eyebrow."Nobody, just remember to strap the mountain down any time you are around Rose," Derrick said with a smile."Hey, I get a mountain anytime I am around her does not mean I go hiking each time," Luis defends."Then I guess you should really work on your face; it gives you away each tim
"Ah! I will be around till next week. I would like it very much if you two could come around for a road trip?" Victor suggested."That would be great. I will tell Derrick about it when he comes home tonight," Lily said with a smile as she walked Victor to the door.As soon as Mr McClean left, one of the servants approached Lily "Ma'am, lunch is ready,""I don't feel like taking anything heavy, bring me some coffee," Lily said and turned to leave but paused in her steps. "What time did Derrick leave?" she questioned with a frown."He left at 4.30 am ma'am," the servant replied. "He didn't look like he slept at all," she added looking at Lily's reaction from the corner of her eyes.Lily felt a pain in her heart hearing what the servant said about Derrick because she understood he went to work tired just to get more tired. She had skipped work to sleep but Derrick couldn't. She didn't ask for a day off, but Derrick automatically gave her a day off. Her frown softened but she squinted her
Lyla turned as white as a sheet staring at the familiar face."Indeed, what a small world," Lyla repeated in her thought forgetting Derry was not aware of her pregnancy."Remember me?" Derry asked with a smile.Lyla was too shocked to answer. The only thought running through her head was, "How is this happening?"She knew this man standing in front of her was the true father of her baby. She never thought for once she would run into him this soon. Still in complete shock, she had forgotten her pregnancy was not known to many.Angelina on the other hand, stood admiring the handsome man who had entered her shop. He appeared formidable. Her friend Lyla seems to have a magnet that only attracts irresponsible bad guys. She is incredibly happy that this time, a guy who had approached her friend with such charm in his eyes, doesn't look like a drug dealer, criminal or irresponsible."So how are things with your husband?" questioned Derry"Husband?" thought Angelina "O gee, my friend is so stu
"When is this going to end? I want my Lily back" Derrick thought kicking the railing He groaned in pain from his hurt foot. He climbed the stairs and walked towards Lily's closed door. He raised his hand to knock but froze deciding on whether or not he should knock. He eventually decided to knock. He knocked gently twice and called Lily but there was no response. He tried again, a second and a third time, and the result was the same. He left sadly believing Lily was still mad at him. He went straight to his study to find something to distract himself.Inside the study, Derrick sat behind his desk trying to go through the project documents but he was unable to concentrate. He stopped and exited the study for his bedroom. He changed into his sleepwear and climbed into bed but was unable to sleep. He tossed and turned, hitting his pillow like it had offended him. He got out of bed, pulled open the bedside drawer and took out the small safe box he had relocated from his officer drawer to
