"Wakey, wakey!…..
David watched Celine with a smile as she stretched beside him.It was the early hours of the morning, and both of them were just too lazy to stand up.“Good morning sweetheart,” she said.“Good morning sweetie," he answered.“So what are our plans for today?” he asked.“I thought you said we would go to the beach,” Celine said.“Yes, that is true, but we should have breakfast before we go to the beach, and also, we will explore some places in the resort before going to the beach,” he said.“Ok that would be fine,” Celine answered,” I will wear a light cotton dress on my bikini.”“Ok, fine he said, I need to shower now.”He stood up and walked down to the bathroom, not caring that he was naked.She smiled and looked at her nakedness too, as she wrapped herself in the sheets.She has never experienced"Arabella what are you doing here ?”David asked, not liking the awkward situation."Why was she here?" He thought to himself,now that he was trying to bond with Celine. He stole a glance at Celine,she was looking skeptical at Arabella waiting for her answer,as he and Celine removed their sunglasses to have a better view at Arabella.“I came for a vacation with my boyfriend,” Arabella said.“Honestly what a coincidence,I never knew you were coming here David,” she said,but both of them knew she was lying.“That's great Arabella as long as you would mind your boyfriend and have a nice time with him,”he said.“Anyway,I didn't know you have a boyfriend now,where is he?”I can't see him anywhere,David said, looking around.” “I am here,” a familiar voice came forward and Celine breathing hitched as she saw who Arabella's boyfriend was.“Ray! " said with disbelief “why are you h
WELCOME LOVELY COUPLES!!!That was the welcoming decoration fixed at the door of the hall where the party would be held.Celine was wearing a red dress which complimented David's dark suit.Everyone was seated and having a good time; drinks were served in the house, and Celine caught a glimpse of Ray and Arabella on the other side of the hall.David took two juices from a waiter and gave one glass to Celine. She drank it and liked the cool effect on her throat.“Are you all right?” David asked her.“Yes I am fine,” she answered.Ray stood up from where he was and came over to their table, Arabella followed him.“Hello, Celine, Hi, David," he said.“At least since we know each other, we should stay together as other couples do; we are not quarrelling, are we?” He asked.David looked at him sceptically but had no choice but to be polite in a pla
Celine woke up and stretched.David was still sleeping; he had been so tired after the party yesterday, and he wanted to go to sleep immediately, even when she had wanted him to stay for a little while.She enjoyed being here for this vacation. It had brought her and David close and she hoped nothing would separate her from him.She never knew that David had a calm nature and soft heart; she had been scared of him when they got married, and he had not also made it easy for her with his domineering attitude and indifference he showed to her then.She was also thankful to his mother who didn't waste any given opportunity to bring both of them close.And now the part of Arabella…Celine sighed!Arabella was like a leech to David, which he was trying to shake off but still stuck to him.Celine has to understand why he needs her for his company but she still insists he do away with her.
"Why Celine?” Arabella said, giving Celine an innocent look.“What did I do?”I didn't steal your husband?” nor have I made an attempt to do so,” she said.“Enough of the pretence Arabella!” Celine said,” I know that you are after David, but I see no reason why you should keep on pursuing him when you know that he is a married man.”“And who said I am pursuing your husband, you can see I am with Ray now. So how would you say I still want David.”Arabella blurted out.Celine was silent a bit, then she asked.“Sincerely in your heart, Arabella, are you in love with Ray? Why are you leading him on if you knew you only hooked up with him to get to David.”“I don't need to hook up with Ray to get to David Celine, you should know I want David and I will not deny that, I have wanted him for years since we have known each other, but David doesn't see me in that way as he thinks, he sees me as a sister,” Arabella sa
David and Ray heard the scream, and they rushed quickly upstairs and saw Arabella shouting hysterically.“Celine…..Celine!” she said,Pointing at the rail.‘What happened to Celine!” David said, his heart pounding, as he shook Arabella, trying to make her talk.“She….she fell into the water,” Arabella stuttered.David didn't think twice as he also forgot about his phobia of deep waters.He removed his shoes and his shirt and was about to run and dive into the water when Arabella held him from behind.“No David, you won't go anywhere!” She said,” I am so scared I don't want to lose you too.”David looked across at Ray, “please, Ray, hold Arabella; I have to save Celine,” he said as he was trying to remove himself from Arabella's clutches.Ray came forward and removed Arabella from David but the woman was still hysterical that he had to slap her.
In the morning, Celine and David came out of the resort with their luggage to board a taxi to the airport.“Please can I take a ride with you guys,” Arabella said.David and Celine looked at her as she came over to their side, and was struggling with her luggage.“Where is Ray?”David asked.“I don't know!” Arabella said, frowning her face.“What happened Arabella?” David asked her in a calm voice.“Ok I know you will keep on asking me David till I tell you,” she said. “Yes I will,” he said.“We had a fallout and I don't want to talk about it now,” Arabella said.“Ok!”David said,” We will talk about that later.”He opened the taxi and ushered both women inside then he put the luggage and sat by the driver's side.Celine took a glance at Arabella and wondered what had transpired between her and Ray for her to leave without him.
Celine was shocked and confused after she saw the writing at the back of the picture.What does all this mean?Were they soulmates before?But David had assured her, he doesn't have anything to do with Arabella!Or was there another story to their relationship which they are keeping secret?Celine decided that she would investigate the matter herself, she wouldn't tell David about it again as he might be upset that she was doubting him.She gently placed the picture back and kept the luggage on top of the wardrobe.“Ok it's your turn to shower,” David said as he entered the room from the bathroom, cleaning his hair with the towel.She went over to him and collected the towel, trying to be on her toes as she cleaned his hair.David stood there looking at her, he said huskily.“Doing this wifely duty is good, but right now you are arousing me, Celine.”
The following morning Celine woke up to see that David had gone.“Where could he have gone so early?" she thought to herself.Yesterday,she waited for him to come back to the room not knowing what went wrong as he left angrily but she was exhausted after dinner and went to sleep.David did not talk much during dinner even as Celine was telling the baroness all about their adventure at the resort.He still went back to his study after dinner.She went to the bathroom to see if he was taking a shower,but no one was there.She shrugged her shoulders and went to take a shower.As she came down she saw the baroness at the garden, she was about to have breakfast.“Join me dear,”the baroness said to Celine.“Okay mother,”Celine said.“Good morning mother,I hope you had a good night's rest.“Yes I did,Celine,thank you dear.”“I notice
David woke up in the middle of the night,he couldn't understand himself.His head was just spinning as if he drank two cartons of alcoholic wine.”’Why am I feeling so hot in my body?”He thought to himself.He stood up and wanted to wake Celine, but when he saw how deep in sleep she was,he left her to sleep and decided to go downstairs to the kitchen to drink water.He gently tiptoed towards the door,so he wouldn't wake her,then he went down the stairs to the kitchen to take some water inside the fridge.He sat for a while on the chair to regain his strength, then, he took the bottle of water back into the fridge and was about to close the fridge door.Suddenly he felt someone was also in the kitchen,he turned back quickly and looked towards the dim light as he didn't want to put on the full light.“Who is it?" he asked.“It's me,” Arabella said, and came towards the center
"I seem to feel a bit dizzy,”David said, but when he looked towards Arabella again the dizziness seemed to disappear.“I think I am fine once more,”he said.He stood up and asked the waiter to break him a bottle of water,and when the water was brought,he drank all the water in the bottle and sat with Arabella for a while to clear his head.“I think I am feeling much better now," he said.The bottle of water has helped him a bit,he thought.“So what were we saying about the job?” David asked.“Just because the company is better than before doesn't mean that you have to resign.”“I know that David,” Arabella said,”but you are not getting the point.”:Staying with you is my pleasure,but I don't want to spoil your relationship with your wife.”“Leave my wife out of it, how are you spoiling the relationship?”:You know I still care about you and I w
David drew Celine closer as he danced with her,he could feel the warmth of her embrace and that made him feel happy and content.It's really a joyful thing when you are in love and have a peaceful marriage.All the excitement and happiness was getting to his head he thought and chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” Celine asked when she heard him chuckling.“It is because I am so happy at my present situation now,I feel like a fulfilled man and this is all thanks to you,”He said,smiling as he looked into her face.“It's not me sweetheart,but God that blessed us with this happiness so your thanks should be to God.”Celine said.He pulled her closer and kissed her on her forehead.***Arabella looking at them from a distance and seeing them curdle was so furious that she purposely dropped her glass filled with drink in annoyance.This made many heads stare at her but Celine a
Lights were everywhere in the house and there was music playing softly.The atmosphere was lively with guests already arriving,chatting and mingling with each other as they came.David was already down welcoming the guests that were arriving.He looked up to see his mother coming down and he went over to escort her downstairs.“Where is your wife? The baroness asked above the music.“I think she will soon be downstairs,”David said.He watched as his mother welcomed a few of her friends and sat with them on their table.David welcomed lots of his employees,it seems the turn up was very high,it was as if the entire employees of the company decided to come to work in his house.He smiled,feeling honoured as most of his friends and employees came to the party.David turned to a tap on his shoulders,and turning back he saw Arabella.”Hello Arabella,”David
Celine was anxious,and was checking the door from where she sat in the living room every minute to see if David was back home.When he finally entered the house,he gave her the flowers he bought for her. They were red and white roses,a combination of colours looking so beautiful together.“Thank you sweetheart,” she said.“You are welcome, my love,”he said.“And where is mother?" he said.“I am coming downstairs,”the baroness said,as she came down the stairs.David went towards her, kissed her on the cheeks and walked with her to the living room.“I am so happy today mother,” he said,grinning from head to toe.“What happened son,did you win the lottery?”“Something even better than that to secure our future mother,I got the investors to invest in my business,so now I can say business is blooming.”“Wow I am happy for you my son,”the baroness sa
David drove into the parking lot of the company,he stopped and gave the key to the security to park the car properly.He went up through the lift to his office and called for Arabella through the intercom.When she came in,he demanded the file he had given her.And Arabella, he said,where are the investors?”“They are in the conference room,”Arabella said.Arabella handed the file to David as he cross checked to see if everything was intact.“Ok we are ready to go,where is the other assistant?” David asked.‘“I told him to be there with the investors and two other top employees,”Arabella said.“That's okay,” David said.”Let us go to the conference room.”“Okay David,” Arabella said and led the way.David entered the conference room and shook hands with the two investors that came.“I am happy you are giving my company a chance,an
Days turned into weeks and after two days, they were to do the children's welcoming party.Celine had made a lot of preparations towards it. She had made purchases of some necessary things.She had gotten two outfits each, for the children,bought a pair of shoes and also an outfit for herself.Her mother-in-law and husband told her they have an outfit to wear for the party ,so she concentrated on the menu and drinks for that day.David wanted the party to be done at the hotel,but Celine insisted the party should be done in their home.Celine was in the garden with her mother in-law and the children, discussing the events of the party when David came in.“Welcome sweetheart,” Celine said as he greeted them.“Are you not supposed to be at work now?”the Baroness said.“Yes,” David said, kissing his mum and Celine on the cheek.“But things have gone ba
David shifted to her so that he was seated close to her,he soundlessly and slowly leaned towards her.In his eyes,she saw her own needs.A reflection of desires,showing that she was ready,which she had ignored all this while since she gave birth.Her eyes were steady in his eyes and her pulses scrambled erratically,this always happens to her when David touched her,it was as if she had just crossed the finish line of a long and vigorous race.David touched her face,and cupped it. He was looking at her at the same time as if he wanted to mold the shape of her face in his mind,to remember her always.Her breath caught,then released,the trembling of passion was all over her.Slowly deliberately,he spread his fingers so that his palm slid over her neck,then her jawline and finally her cheekbones.She couldn't prevent a quick gasp as he put his hands on her hair and pulled her head back gent
Celine had to adjust herself properly on the bed to hear what David was saying.“Why would you do that sweetheart,or are you teasing me?”“I am not teasing you Celine,I have really employed her back to my company,she starts work by tomorrow.”“Why would you do that David,you know that woman is trouble especially for our relationship and you took her in again,Celine said,disbelief written all over her face.”“Don't be like that darling,listen to why I had to take her back first," David said.“Why should I listen to you?”Celine said she was very furious with David for making a decision which he knew would affect their relationship.This is a woman who would do anything to be in her shoes right now and she was not going to put up with that.Arabella is not a woman one should be lenient with,if Arabella sees an opportunity to destroy their relationship,she would take it immediately without
