Katie’s uncontained excitement for the dinner invitation for tonight is oozing from her every pore, she never realized how much Theo meant to her until now, she never felt so excited to see an old friend like this before, and she definitely knows why she feels that way, somehow Theo has always been special in her heart since their Manhattan days. And She is hoping he will feel the same too.
Their families have always been close since those days when her dad and Mr. Adler were working in the same banking firm in Wall street, they used to have a residence in Manhattan her dad stays there all week and she and her mom preferred to stay in their family home in Stamford. She and her mom would drive on Friday afternoons after school to visit he
Matthew left Manhattan early in the afternoon to avoid the Friday afternoon traffic, and he has been looking forward to visiting his parents new home, He feel a little bit Guilty because hes been back for a few weeks but has not found the time to visit, His work had demanded so much of his time since he is new to his company. But tonight he is hoping that he could make his parents happy, It’s been a really long time since they had a real family dinner, they’ve been visiting him often in the city the past weeks, but it is always a very short time, but this time he will spend the weekend with them. He is
It is already Friday afternoon and Lola has been anxiously waiting for a message or a call from Matthew but until this moment she has not received any. She is feeling a bit annoyed and frustrated with herself for expecting the man to keep in touch with her, he doesn’t know her at all, and it was just sex, nothing special at all, a one night stand, and she reminded herself that one night stand doesn’t get repeated, that is why it is called as such. And why is she bothered by him not messaging, she already got what she wanted, all she needs to do now is wait if she got pregnant from the encounter.
Katie has been up early, she actually decided to go out for a jog she decided to jog to Bedford street and pass by the coffee shop, hoping that Matthew and her mom will be there this morning because she heard her last night talking about taking him for coffee in the shop in the morning, she didn’t know that Mrs Adler was a regular at the cookie cutter. Anyway she planned on going to the shop and hang out a little bit just in case they would go. So it would be like a chance meeting. She smiled at the thought. Here she goes again with her teenagers moves, She feels a bit embarrassed with the thought, But “what the heck” she thought, who can blame her, she’s a woman in love. So she set out towards the shop, in her very fitted yoga suite, s
Sunday!! it was girl bonding day, they decided to drive out to Cove Island park for a picnic lunch and take advantage of the almost ending summer, September is Approaching and the air is starting to get a bit chillier already. Lola Packed a few items from the shop, and Lily decided to bring sandwiches. And Samantha the drinks. Sunday is their time to eat what they like, the rest of the week is disciplined eating, Sunday is especial guilt free day. They came in their own individual cars, the three had been there for a while, they already were able to to a good amount of walking around already, but it is almost lunch time and Katie has not arrived yet, Samantha tried calling her but it was going into voice mail.
Theo just got back into his apartment, He had a really Great time with his parents, he felt a bit guilty leaving them, but they promised to come over during the week to spend at least dinner with him, and he was glad they are very understanding of his situation, His dad discussed with him his offer on the family firm in Stamford, he was offered to take over it if he wants, so as to not be working for someone else. But he declined the offer for now, he only promised him that when things settle at her new firm, then he can devote Saturdays with him, it will not be hard since it is really not that far, his father understood his situation and his plan. He is indeed grateful for such wonderful parents.Her mom on the other hand doesn’t m
Lily and Lola had gone to Manhattan to pick up some materials for their next catering events, and they know that Katie is also there to pick up something for her mom, so the two decided to send her a message if they could meet later for a little girl shopping in time square. They received an immediate reply from her saying she will be able to meet them around two pm, they invited her to join them for lunch, since they were finished with their chores early, but Katie declined she said she will meet them at two, in Time Square. They didn’t bother to insist.Katie was actually on her way to lunch with Theo, they agreed to meet at a restaurant near his office. She decided to go to the antique shop downtown first to pick up her early gif
Thursday afternoon and Matthew is debating inside his head if he should send a text or should try to call Lola, what is he gonna say to her, without sounding too excited to see her again.He finally settled with a text, and to make it more casual and not too friendly, he did not even say hello,He settled for the more casual “Hi are you gonna be at the pub tomorrow night?!” and hit sendnow he waits!!!–
Matthew was very vocal of her admiration of Lola tonight. She wasn’t wearing anything special she was actually wearing that Zara dress they bought a few days ago, she though it would be an appropriate time to wear it. Sexy but not too much. Deep inside she is now at war with herself, The man is just so gorgeous and sweet and as much as she is holding herself from admiring him she can’t help it. When dinner was over, he again held her hand as they walked outside back to his car, and before he opened the door, he faced her and held her chin up to him and gave her kiss, it was a gentle unhurried kiss, a non verbal invitation to be with him tonight. She responded willingly.Once they arrived at his apartment, This time there was no hurry. Matthew making small talks, and this time she was not timid at all, she actually surprised herself how she can engage in such conversations Their topic are nothing serious, they talked about the food in the restaurant, if h
Katie needed to call Mrs. Adler right away, How could she have forgotten the details regarding food allergies? But it is still early thankfully, at least now Lola will have an opportunity to check out the venue herself and most of all to meet the Hosts. Thankfully The Lady has always been accommodating specially when it is her who is making the request. And on top of that she was informed that Theo has been talking about taking a break from the city this week end so He might just be there on Saturday.The thought of Theo just bring her girlish feelings of joy, she can’t help her excitement every time his name is spoken of. She is just so giddy happy. She thought it would be such a pleasant surprise for Lola to introduce him finally to her if they will get to see him this Saturday. The man of her dreams the one she had been speaking of for so long. And it will just be fitting to have Lola meet him first since she is her best friend in all the world. The sister she always wanted.
Lola knows their presence had made so much difference in her life today, Their happy and worried faces that greeted her earlier and their tight hugs had opened a window in her darkening world letting a warm ray of sunshine in. That overwhelming sadness and heaviness in her heart is somehow alleviated with the presence of those three. What would life be like for her without them? They enable her to to always put one foot in front of the other.Life has been tough and rough but having her friends had made it bearable specially not having any family around. She pushed herself to stand up and move around do a little tidying up moving and keeping herself busy would take things of her mind. She picked up the cups they used for tea and brought it to the sink, it warms her heart to know her friends remember her mom through the sweet tea. This makes them a family indeed. Once done with her cleaning she went up the stairs to her bedroom, she intended to do some work on her laptop but real
Katie was the last one to leave, they didn’t talk a lot, but Lola knows her friends understands her silence. They are aware that when she keeps things to herself, she is struggling and trying to work things out, that she is in the process of gathering herself together.Now that they are all gone, she realized that, making her friends worry was selfish on her part, and this makes her feel really guilty, she didn’t realize early on that she will make anyone worry. When she got up this morning all she had been feeling was her frustration, and hopelessness, she felt suffocated that is why she felt the need to go out and get some air, her mind had wondered so far that she did not bring anything with her, not even her phone, she took a light sweater and got out the door and just started walking to any direction to where her feet chooses to take her, she walked and walked thinking of all that she had done in the past weeks, was everything had been worthless and pointless? Will nothing come
Its been more than a month since She and Matthew had met last, but until now Lola is not getting a positive result, she’s been getting a little bit depressed, she will again try it this morning, because again according to what she has read online it is best to check in the morning when you just wake up, so she went again and peed on the stick, she sat their and waited for both lines to show, but again just like the result yesterday, she stared at the stick in like forever, praying for a second line to form, until her eyes got tired and started to blur with tears, Her heart again disappointed and broken, she let herself cry, she stood under the shower, and turned the cold water on top of her, and she sobbed like a little girl, she cried like when she lost her mother, she cried under that shower for a very long time, She prayed but how come it didn’t happen, a lot of girls do it once and they get pregnant not even wanting the baby, but her! she wanted an
Lola had been taking things really seriously for the past two weeks, Matthew had sent him a few messages already, but she has not given him a definite answer yet, just as she had wanted, she will stick to her plan wait and see! She has the urge to say yes sometimes, and it requires so much will power from her to prevent herself from replying yes. She is finding it really hard to refuse the mans invitation.There are times when she wanted to see him again really badly, she admits to herself that she misses him most of the time, there are no days that she doesn’t think of him. But she is always wary of what would be the outcome if she lets go of her emotions. She will never want to be like her mother. You fall in love and end up suffering, that will not happen to her. For now, she will concentrate with the business, she will figure out the next step when she gets there. As they usually say. You cross the bridge when you get there. She will think what to do next depending on the result o
When morning came, like last time she woke up to the smell of brewing coffee. “this guys likes his coffee” she thought.She got up and got herself ready to go. She already knows her way around the apartment so, she went to the kitchen directly and indeed he already has breakfast ready. This impresses her every time.She said good morning to him. “Breakfast is ready, I hope you are starving” he said with a smile, she looked at the table and there was already an array of breakfast stuff prepared like he prepared for an army. He got eggs, bacon and already had fresh baked croissant delivered to him early. And fresh bread. There are also a selection of yogurt set out.“Are you having people over for breakfast?” she asked “No! Just us! Why?” He asked .She gestured to the pile of food on the table.“Oh, well I don’t know what you might want to have so I just put out and prepared some choices” he explained “come on sit down and eat” as she pulled out a chair for her
