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
"Derrick kept the picture we took together in California?" Lyla thought, and a smile was visible on her face."Surprised to see you here," Luis continued reading from Lyla's expression she had taken the bait."Yeah, I leave around," Lyla replied, suddenly becoming nice."Oh, I see. Can I walk you?" Luis offered to which Lyla reluctantly agreed.Luis kept engaging her in small talk and his phone rang. He quickly answered the call."Hey Derry," Luis replied with a smile and Lyla tensed up. Luis's sharp eyes took notice of this as he continued to speak on the phone with Derrick pretending he was Derry."Apologies for that," Luis said as soon as he ended the brief call."That is fine, but you know Derry?" Lyla asked forgetting there were thousands of people in the world by that name."Yeah, I do know a Derry, but it depends if we are talking about the same person. Which Derry do you know?" Luis questioned trying to fish out the full name of the guy called Derry Lyla was speaking with on
It was 11 in the evening when Derrick woke up aching all over. He had fallen asleep out of exhaustion and his fuzzy mind was wondering why he was not on his bed. He sat on the sofa and immediately recalled Lily was not feeling well. He stood up and walked to the bed and stared at her beautiful sleeping face. He walked to the window and called the doctor to come over seeing Lily was still pale. After the call, he returned to the bed and sat down. Lily woke up when he sat on the bed next to her."How are you feeling?" Derrick asked with concern."Fine, just tired," Lily replied still lying down on the bed.Lily tried to sit up and Derrick helped. After, he offered her a glass of water, which she accepted. She drank some and gave the glass back to him."I have to go back to my room," Lily informed Derrick as she tried to get out of bed."No, wait," Derrick said but before he could complete his statement, there was a knock on the door."Sir, the doctor is here," announced the servant."Doc
The rest of the day continued with a party with enough food and drinks for all. Derrick held Lily in his arms as they danced in the living room with the servants cheering. The surprise party came to an end and Derrick led Lily to his room to rest. After ensuring she was comfortable, he left for work, giving instructions to the servants, and requesting he be called immediately in case of anything. Derrick arrived at the office in high spirits. The first person to meet him was Rosy, his confidant."Well, someone looks happy today," Rosy commented."Yes, that is because I received the best news ever in the history of news," Derrick replied happily. "Oh, glad to see your smile for a change," Rosy said with a smile even though she was curious about what could be making Derrick so happy."Yes, and I would be smiling like this for a long time," Derrick added smiling."That is good. Let's talk in my office. First, I have something important to discuss with you and second, I would be glad to
