" What is happening Zoe? you are not singing like you used to" Ms. Patricia complained not liking the outcome of her performance..." I am sorry Ms. Patricia...I will try again..." she apologized and started playing on the piano again but was stopped by her..." you don't have to when your mind is in a mess," she tells her..." No...I can do it...it just needed me to try more" she plays on the piano trying to prove her point..." You see, I am doing it," she said with a smile on her face..." I am ok" she continues but Ms. Patricia holds on to her hand, stopping her ..." You can't fool me, child, I will know one when I see one"..." it's good to take a day off sometimes...I know you might be tired..." she said in a decisive tone and walked to her seat. Zoe opens her mouth only to close them again, there is nothing she will tell her that will be able to change her mind..." go rest out your brain for today...tomorrow is another day" she waves her hand at her but Zoe had no intention of
The person she bumps into was no other than Rowan. He turns back in confusion and stares at her leaving...He wonders what might have transpired between them to turn Zoe into a complete mess, it's his first time seeing Zoe cry and somehow, it feels weird...He knocks on the door but there was no response..." Arabella, it's me...Rowan, open up" he said, and only then did she open the door, letting him get in..." What's disturbing you? you don't look alright" he touches her neck feeling her temperature..." you've been crying" he stated the fact and Arabella wipes her face, trying hard not to cry more..." I bump into Zoe, but I don't think she noticed. It was me...what's up with you two?" He was concerned and wanted to know what I'd do with the girls in the hospital if she had to leave Zoe. It was unlike Arabella to do such..." It's nothing big, we just had a little quarrel " she tries to make it not look too obvious..." it can't be that little when your eyes are red and swollen fr
"Tell me what you want me to do to you" he presses on her nipple making her cry out..."Please Rowan touch me...no...no...pleasure me please, suck, press and nipple on my breast, please" she begs. A victorious smile appears on his lips as he stares down at her ..." as easy as it is..." he lowers his head and takes her left breast in his mouth, as he sucks and nipples on. With his right hand, massages her right breast, giving both breasts equal attention, he sucks and bites her breast until she could no longer take the torture, she was needy...very needy down there...in need of his touch...She rubs herself against him, trying t feel him but the jeans she was putting on didn't let her get what she wanted..."take off my jeans please...and touch me, down there" she begs again and the man did what she wants without teasing her...in no time, she was left naked before him, with only her panties preventing him from seeing her full treasure....he pulls on the side of her pants and slides his
Chapter 14 He pulls off in front of a restaurant and leads her inside. Arabella's steps slowed down upon entering the door..." What is she doing here?" she asked Rowan who just stroked off his shoulder in denial..."let's go" she pulls on him, intending to leave the restaurant but he stops her..." I brought you here because I want us, me, and you to have a good time...and that's going to happen even if she is here or not" his voice was stern like he was passing her an order...She stares at him with wide eyes, this was the very first time he has ever talked to her that way...seeing the look on her face, Rowan then realizes his mistake..." I mean... don't let her get to you...I want to be the only person you should be thinking of" he tries to make it more reasonable. A sweet smile spreads on her lips and she lands a soft peck on his lips and holds on to his hands as they both walk to their table for two...A grin was plastered on Rowan's face as he stared at Zoe whose face was pale.
The look on Zoe's face before she left was stuck in Arabella's mind, her mind was in a state of confusion and no matter how much she tries to figure things out, she just won't get it...Her head throbs, making her winch in pain..."Are you ok?" Rowan asked in concern and she nodded her head..."Just a headache...I think I will be fine with a lot of rest.." she tells him..."You want us to go back now?" he asked..." I will be grateful if we do" she was feeling exhausted..."but we haven't ordered our food yet and you need to eat something...to replenish your lost energy," he tells her, reminding her of the mind-blowing session of lovemaking they had...this made her blush hard..."ok" she answered shortly...they gave their orders and it didn't take long for them to finish up their food...They stepped out of the restaurant, it was already dusk outside with only the streets and building lights lighting the places... Arabella was lost in thought that she didn't bother waiting for him to op
Zoe's day wasn't bad at all, thanks to Ms. Patricia she didn't get the luxury of time to think about Arabella...On her way back, she felt hungry and decides to get some pizza in a food store nearby cause it's been a long she ate it...the last time she ate pizza was with Arabella and she will eat alone this time..."Hello, beautiful" a voice rang from behind but she didn't turn around, knowing she wasn't the one the who-so-ever was talking to..."hi beautiful" he was now standing next to her, she was surprised he was talking to her as she turned to him, he was good looking and based on her assumption, he should be at age twenty-one, like Rowan...he was putting on a red bomber jacket and a black Jean. Inside was a white t-shirt that was fitting and visible to her view as he never closed on his Jacket...His hair was pure diamond curled up on the edge showing off his manly face. "Hi" was all Zoe said. There was nothing good in talking to the guy before her...her order came and she grabbe
"stop right there" his deep husky voice vibrates with so much lust in his eyes. A smile formed on her lips, knowing that he'd fallen into her trap..."Anything you'll need my help with, Prof Janel?" she raises a brow at him. He didn't reply and just stood up from his seat making his way to her...He closed the door quietly and the smile on her lips widened..."seems you are so good at torturing men" he pulls on her and clamps his lips to hers, sucking and kissing her as if wanting to devour her leaving nothing...he pushes on her till her back hits the wall, his hands rub on her exposed thigh, pushing her closer..." Easy proof!" she pushes on him, leading him to his seat. When he was seated, she held on to his belt and stared at him unwaveringly..."what's my gain?" she asks and the man gulps feeling her hands on his dick." a pass mark on all your courses" he blurred out feeling impatient..."Now you are talking" she flashes him her sweetest seductive smile, as her long slender fing
In every push, he trembles. He could feel her pussy walls clenching to his cock, her release was around the corner and he knew he wasn't far from coming too...His hand moved down to her sensitive spot, playing tag with it while the other hand kneaded on her breast, nibbling on it...She cries out in ecstasy, pushing herself to meet his every thrust with the help of the desk before her...His closed eyes flew open, and he could feel himself on the brink of getting his release. He tried to pull out of her but she was in no way ready to let him waste such an expensive and rare type of milk that was way more delicious than any other...She grabs his dick, squeezing and rubbing on it, as if milking milk out of a female cow with her lips at the tip, taking in what's he giving... she licks and sucks on his dick, making sure to take in everything...He slumps to his seat, feeling extremely exhausted from the race of pleasure. He closes his eyes as if silently listening to his heartbeat as his
"what are you thinking?" Zoe asked, walking out of the bath with a hand towel as she wiped on her hair."Nothing" Arabella denies, running her hands through her hair. She stood up and walked to the cupboard by the side, pulling out the hair dryer."Let me," Zoe offers, takes the hand dryer and starts to blow dry her hair."There is nothing to worry about, everything has been taken care of" Zoe assures.Silent engulfed the room for a few seconds before Arabella demanded, "Did Ms Amanda understand the situation?" She is worried they might be offended by their relationship."Hmmm, she is always understanding," Zoe explains.Arabella nodded but didn't say anything even though she so much wanted to.Zoe could tell from her look that something is eating her up, she spines the chair over making her face her completely."She is understanding as well, but not as forgiven as her aunt. I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure everyone in her shoes would do the same." Zoe starts."I hurt her, Zoe. " Ar
"Why did you lie to her and make her believe she was the one you loved? Why did you do all those things only to let her down at the tail end? Why Zoe? " She yells, demanding an answer." I'm sorry aunt," Zoe said, tears running down her cheeks. She understands all that it means, the feeling of being lied to and she is more than sorry."I honestly thought I could keep her, that we could be something more but then, I realized I am not deserving of her love. " Zoe explains, "It was never my intention to hurt her, I swear, aunt, there has never been a thought in my head other than protecting her and taking care of her" she said with all honesty." Is that so? Why then did you hurt her this much? " Amanda demands furiously."The heart doesn't lie, you can be the judge of that yourself. I can't choose whom to love and neither can I tell my heart whom to beat for. I sincerely apologize for everything, most especially for toiling with your trust and love. I know how important Evie is to you,
"I'm sorry for hurting you all these years, for judging you and leaving you when you needed me most" Arabella cries in pity."You did nothing wrong" Zoe tries to coax but Arabella is way too out of the league."No, I'm a bad person. I ignored your love for another, I bluntly hurt your feelings saying there will never be an Us. I caused you pain for years yet you never curse or judge me. I walk away from your life but you always stood by me and never made me feel less of the person I've always been to you" she explains in tears."You were doing just fine without me, so I was until I saw you after years of distance looking so happy with Evie. I didn't know why but I felt jealous, I felt hurt. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I just want everything for me" she cries."I never realized until I saw you two, just then I understood how egoist I am. Seeing you two made me feel things I've never felt before, not even for Rowan or Jack. I couldn't stand you two, that's why I left when you were sin
The truth is always hard to accept, and difficult to come to terms with.Zoe thought she could make herself come to terms with the idea of wanting to move on but it turns out feelings are not just something one can erase.Realizing she can't live without her one true love, she decides to go for it, it's her last chance anyways.If she gets accepted, it'd be a miracle and if she gets rejected, it'll be no surprise though she will be hurt.On the other hand, Arabella lay back on the couch staring at the white ceiling above all lost in thought.Nothing had ever been the same ever since she left Zoe's apartment. She's lost everything, her fiance whom she thought loved her until it turned out the opposite and her best friend whom she has always ignored her love until things start streaming from within bringing weird feelings she's never thought she had.A knock came at the door pulling her off her thoughts, she frowned wondering who it might be.Deciding to see who it is, she carries her t
Evie sits on the table not far from the door as her gaze stays fixed at the door. "You've been sitting there all day, why not take a break?" Amanda questions walking to the table."I don't want to" Evie denies, "she promised to be here today" she adds.Amanda sighs, taking the seat next to her, "what if she's tied up with something important? She can't just rush to you because of a mere promise" she explains.Evie didn't respond, her gaze never left the entrance. Zoe promised to come over and treat her to lunch and it's almost time she hasn't shown up yet." She's gonna make it" Evie grumbles in her stomach, not willing to accept something that might be so important to keep Zoe from fulfilling her promise." So positive "Amanda chuckles." Hmm, she will come," Evie repeats, with an optimistic face.Amanda stares at her for a long time before saying, "Why not try finding out what's keeping her rather than waiting? I'm so done with that face you have on" she grumbles and leaves.Evie
It's been close to a week now and Arabella was still trying to accept herself and her mistakes. Like any other day, she was busy with work at the office while hoping the day runs off in a blink of an eye.But as it turns out, the day was against her wishes and hopes but she didn't let it get to her as she forces herself to work till there is no more strength left.It was around three in the afternoon when she decided to visit Jack, it has been a normal thing for her.She grabs her bag and carries herself out of the company, enters her car and quickly drives away.Her car slows down before a large building, and she steps out and walks in. There wasn't a doubt in her identity as she was quickly led to the elevator leading directly to the fifth floor where Jack's office is.She steps out of the elevator as soon as it stops, walks through the corridor and only stops when she is before his office door.She takes in a deep breath, calming her worried and anxious mind. There is no way she c
Can you let go and see me instead? Can I be the one you see and want to be there with all the time? Can I?" Evie asked in tears, staring at the frozen Zoe."Of course, it's a no. I've known long enough and I wonder why it hurts" She turns and starts walking away."Why me? I can't be all you want" Zoe cries out, staring at Evie's excited back."I've never wanted you to be enough or perfect 'cause I neither am... I just want you to see me, accept me and love me... Is that too much to ask for?" Evie retorts."What if it doesn't work? What if we never get an Us in this?" Zoe wasn't sure of her feelings and desires and she was scared of hurting her.Evie turns around and takes counting strides toward Zoe. "Why not try and see if we are good or not? You never know what awaits us" Zoe had always known Evie to be an optimist but never would she have thought she would willingly throw herself for an experiment they both ain't sure of the end product." But it's ok, I get it... You don't wish t
The entire room was engulfed in total silence, everyone staring, waiting for Zoe to start.Zoe glanced at Arabella before she locked gaze with Evie, the smile on Evie's face was enough to bring a simple and genuine smile to her lips.She turns her attention to the crowd, "hi" she speaks out unsure of what to say. "I-i am honored to be given a chance to sing to y'all, hope you enjoy the song".With that, she walks to where the piano lay, her long slender fingers dancing on the keys immersing the room with the sound of a beautiful melody as she sings.It was the song titled " Falling " by Harry Styles.It's been like forever since Arabella heard her best and childhood friend sing and hearing her now made her realize just how distant they've become.Without realizing it, tears rolled down her cheeks, she stayed glued to the girl on the stage. Her heart aches for unknown reasons and she can swear she never thought she'd feel this hurt.Usually, Zoe always stares at her while singing but i
"more like Zoe" Arabella mutters under her breath, eyes glued to where Zoe stood."I guess your closeness is more than just a friend" Evie blurt without thinking."Excuse me!!" Arabella was taken aback by her questions.Evie clears her throat at the realization of what she might be thinking, "not like that, what I mean is, you guys look more like sisters than besties" she explains."Oh!" Arabella exclaimed with a sigh of relief, "You can say that our years of friendship define our bond." She gave a sweet smile.Evie returns the smile, "Right"."Here is your drink" Zoe spoke out, handing Evie a soft cocktail drink. "Simple non-alcoholic drink for a softy" she teased.Evie couldn't hold her blush, "I'm not that soft you know, " she complains."Says a baby" Zoe chuckles and sips down her drink.Arabella on the other hand silently watched them talk with an expression that couldn't be described."I'm not a baby!" Evie pouts and hits lightly on Zoe's arms feeling embarrassed."Sure?" Zoe ra
