Love should be a national cake, meant for everybody…
******
That was how the nurse and the doctor found them, hours later when they came to check on Liza.
Trying to hide a smile and be professional, the doctor gave the nurse a signal not to disturb the sleeping couple, and moving quietly, they closed the door gently behind them as they stepped out.Going back to the nurses’ station, neither the doctor nor the nurse, mentioned a word of what they saw to each other.Of course, it would be a thing of discussion when they get back to the nurses’ lodge later but for now, both parties acted as if nothing was amiss and if the other nurses were surprised to see them back so quickly, nobody volunteered to ask.They all professionally went back to their duties while the doctor continued to her own office with a soft smile on her face.She really is a romantic!******Standing behind the cou
What do you think of Tom?
He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day… ****** Looking back to make sure Tom was not following him, he ran into his hole of an office and quickly closed the door.Oh my angels, that was a close call. That guy looked as if beating someone into a pulp is what he does and eats for a living. For a moment there, he had resembled a murderer. A modafuckin murderer!Oh my poor mother, why did I take this guy as a worker? Ah ah, now that I have provoked him, I don’t know what he will do to me.‘Kill me? Or break my bones?’ Unable to control his emotions from getting away from him after having had some drinks, the manager gave rein to his thoughts and imaginations.He imagined Tom barging into the door and strangling him. Shivering strongly, he sat on the floor in cold fear and when his thoughts got the best of him, he wept like a baby as he called dramatically for his mother.
There is no Love without physical pleasure…*****Liza was giving herself a pleased pat on the back when Mike grabbed her breast fully into his mouth, and every other thought flew from her brain leaving behind immense pleasure.Trying to goad Liza into anger so she could give him a reason not to take her fast and slowly as he desired, Mike had been anticipating her reaction. Hoping she would either punch him or flounce out of his arms as she think him arrogant.But the anger had not come and in a move that was totally unexpected especially from a shy lady like Liza who was just coming out of her shell, Mike had received a total shock because even in twenty years, he would not have seen that move coming from her.Knowing the queen has won by checkmating him, Mike decided it was worth it since the claim of the wins would be for them both.Grabbing this opportunity that might never
To heal, you must first have the Will of it…******“How do you feel?” Mike asked with a soft smile.“How do I feel? Do you even have to ask? I am sure it is so boldly written all over my face.” Liza answered disbelievingly.“Hmmm. I know but I want you to say it.” Mike told her.“Well, happy? Nervous? And of course, scared.” Liza answered truthfully.“Happy and nervous I can understand because in a way, I also feel the same way. But scared? Why should you be?” Mike asked with a brow raised in perplexed.“Of course I am scared. Scared and worried about what’s next. How to cope and handle everything that I’m sure would come with this next step I’m taking.” Said Liza.“Hmmm, but you know you ain’t alone right? That I’m with you on this next step and we w
A good man is a medicine…******But stopped they had to stop, at least for the integrity of the people in the room.“Hmm, sorry doctor, we kind of got carried away with the excitement.” Mike apologised unashamedly as he winked at the furiously blushing but happy Liza.“Hmmm, I can see that Mr. Mike but if you can wait till we finish our job?” The doctor asked calmly, though with a twinkle in her eyes.“Sure, sure doc.” Mike agreed and the doctor nodded.“Ms. Stacey will go home with you today but like I said, you will have to sign some forms as her standing guardian and in one of those forms is a promise to make sure she is well taken care of and most importantly, not make her to do anything strenuous until we give her a final clearance from the hospital.” She told Mike as he nodded.“Also, you wil
Health is indeed wealth…******Unable to stop herself, Liza took a peek at Mike as they drove home. Having changed his mind to drive them home, he had ordered his chauffeur to take a cab home and have a break.He had kindly explained to the older man without hurting his feelings and after an exchange of bills, the man had left with a smile and here they are, with Liza sitting beside Mike who is handling the wheel .Not able to help it, she took another peek with a wistful smile.‘He is really a wonder. A wonderful wondrous delight.’ She sighed as she thought fancifully.“If you don’t stop looking at me that way, we might end up back to the hospital.” Mike told her softly.Focusing on Mike’s words, Liza gasped.“Did you say Hospital? But why?” She cried in fear.“Because, with your grey smoky eyes lookin
Chapter Sixty-FourA genuine love is a friend to kindness and understanding…******Moving carefully down the hall to the room opposite his own room, Mike balanced the tray carefully on one hand while using the other hand to open the door.“What are you doing in my room? Get out!” Liza told him furiously from where she was sitting on the side of the bed.Getting this harsh command from Liza really shocked Mike and for an intense moment, he could not hide his feelings, he froze.‘Is this woman really serious right now? Sending me out of her room in my own house? Does it give her great pleasure to trample on my pride like this? Ah!’ Mike thought with a glare.After a brief but tensed moment, Mike smiled, having decided to overlook her words, he knew it was the anger in Liza that was speaking.“Ouch, wha
A mini god is a man with power…*****“Jealous?” Mike asked in mocking tones though beneath that was a glimpse of hope. Hope that maybe Liza was jealous which could only mean she was getting to care as much as he did.But this, she dashed with a snort of disbelief.“Jealous? Of those girls? Not on your life sir.” Liza lied through her teeth brazenly.“Hmmm! Mood killer.” Mike insulted.“You are welcome. Now, tell me about yourself!” Liza commanded.Raising a brow at this, Mike wanted to know where the audacity came from.“Why?”“Why? Because I’m your best friend and I want to know all about you.” She affirmed confidently.“Best friend? Try again!” Mike snorted in disdain.“Because I care? Would that do?” Liza asked softly.
A man with vision is a sexy man…******“And yes Liza, I achieved it, here in this city, I am not only successful but wealthy with power and affluence.” Mike concluded smugly with unabashed pride in all he had accomplished since he left home.“Yes, yes, I can see that.” Liza agreed emotionally, thankful on his behalf for getting everything he wanted and more. He obviously deserved them all.“And what is more, I still have my own shares in the family’s company. My own part of the profit is always rolling into my bank account every month.” Mike said simply.“But your family, how do they feel about all these? Didn’t they see it as a betrayal?” Liza asked.“Betrayal? Aha.” Mike laughed in great enjoyment.“No Liza, to see my family is to know and love them. There were no feelings of betrayal. Of
A good ending for all… ****** Two weeks Later, Mike sent a bunch of flowers to Tom’s room at the hospital, having heard he was responding to treatment and would soon be discharged. He had also heard that with the help of his father’s team, his father was flown to London to be with his son at his critical moment. Mike felt for them but he knew they would get through it and survive together. That’s just life! It will throw you but if you are willing to stand again, everything will work out. Liza had heard him on the phone when he was ordering for the flowers and she had thought the flowers were to wish Tom a quick recovery and to also cheer him up. But only Mike knew that the real reason he sent the beautiful bunch of flowers was to silently thank Tom for indirectly bringing them back together. By pointing out some home truths to Liza, he made her see what she should have known, ‘That Mike would always be there for her’. For that alone, it shows the guy had some redeeming trait
We all deserve genuine love… ****** For long moments, they looked into each other’s eyes with trusting eyes that suddenly turned passionate. Mike’s eyes flared with a knowing light and Liza gave an unconscious gasp. Mike grinned as he lightly pushed her to continue walking to the car! “You always seem to be surprised every time I make my love and passion obvious, why?” He had always wanted to ask her. “I don’t know, Mike. Maybe because I never truly believed you could really love me, so I am always surprised when I see the evidence of it.” She admitted softly. Mike did not say anything to that as he opened the door for her to go in. Then he circled the car to join her and only then did he turn to look at her. “But that’s bullshit, babe. I have been showing you nothing but my love since we started dating.” Mike reminded her. “I know, Mike, but I guess it was just hard for me to believe and understand. I mean, I grew up without knowing much love, so how would I have recognized i
Give an option of doubt…*****Putting the phone back into his pocket, Mike turned to go back to Liza and that was when he saw her, watching him with a dazed look.“You heard everything, right?” Tiredly, he asked her, unable to hide it again.Liza nodded slowly.“I am sorry, Liza, but it is not what you think. I can explain, okay?” Mike was worried she might misunderstand.Again, Liza nodded slowly.“I am sure you have a reasonable explanation Mike and I promise to listen without judging you.” Liza acknowledged softly.Relieved, Mike nodded as he walked to her.“Thank you. I promise to tell you everything without hiding a word.” He embraced her soft body to him, knowing that he needed the warmth.Liza accepted his words and actions with a smile as she returned his embrace.******The following morning, Liza and Mike walked out of the old building with Martha who was holding tightly to the purple eyed, immensely bruised Tom.His left eyes were almost closed and Liza feared he might nev
Be honest with your loved ones… ******* What happened the next moment was so sudden, Mike was sure he was about to have a heart failure. “Oh my God—Oh my God—-Oh my God.” Liza kept crying. Recovering himself, Mike quickly left his seat to hold onto her shoulders. “Liza? Are you okay? Talk to me.” He saw the distressful emotion she was in and he could not bear it. It’s a fact that whatever affected Liza would get to Mike. Her joy and sadness were equally part of him. “I totally forgot, Mike. I did not mean to, but I forgot. I am a bad person. A very bad evil lady.” She cried softly while holding onto him. “Whatever it is Liza, we will get through it together, but I will not accept any disparaging word on your person. You are not a bad person and neither are you evil. So right now, I want you to take a deep breath and tell me what this is all about.” A little bit calmed by Mike’s reasonable voice, Liza took a calming breath. “It’s Tom, Mike, I totally forgot about him.” Liza exp
Apologies don't make you less of a man… **** Helping each other to dress up four hours later after a short nap on his office sofa bed, Liza sent a smug smile across to Mike. “You need to apologise to your staff Mike, they did not deserve the treatments you have been melting out on them.” Liza pointed out and Mike groaned. He did not have to ask Liza, he should have known Stella would tell her all about it. “I am serious, Mike, you need to apologise. Just imagine if any of your staff is acting unprofessional just because they are going through a lot at home. Would you accept that, even if you try to be understanding towards their plight?” Liza demanded to know. “I am the boss, Liza, it is different.” He pointed out arrogantly, trying to cover up. but he knew she was right. ‘That’s the thing about Liza, she was always almost right.’ He thought fondly with another groan. “No Mike, there is nothing different about it. They are humans and if you are truly the man I know you to be, I
A forgiving spirit is a kind one…*******Typing furiously away at her system while equally muttering furiously to herself, Stella was not aware of the person at her desk until she heard a chuckle which made her jump in fright.“Is the building on fire or what?” Liza asked with an amused gaze while watching the different emotions flashing across the face of her former senior colleague.“Liza Stanford, you scared me.” Stella cried, turning her full glare on the innocent Liza.“Uh oh wow, take it easy with the glare okay? I’m innocent of whatever the crime was.” Chuckling, she raised her hands in mock surrender.Stella snorted, unimpressed.Innocent her foot! Whatever their boss was going through, Stella knew Liza had a hand in it and even if it’s not in Stella’s place to say it out loud, she just hoped they could settle whatever it was between them.Having been married for several years now, she knew it was not always smooth sailing between couples.Just look at her and her husband Leo
Correct your mistakes once you know it… ******At the other end, Liza kept staring at the silent phone in her hand. Mike had dropped the call. Without telling her it was a joke. Which meant that truly, he was pushing for a divorce? ‘No way! Over my dead body.’ She swore violently as she ran to the bathroom. Almost tearing off the clothes on her body, she hurriedly lathered the washing clothes with soap as she switched on the shower, full blast. Dressing with haste, five minutes later, Liza was walking down the stairs, smartly dressed in one of her office clothes. But before she could cover the last step, one of the maids walked in from the hallway to greet her respectfully. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Stanford.” “Good afternoon Mary. I am on my way out and I might not be back for a while.” She said in a distracted tone while checking her bag to make certain she had all she wanted. “Oh okay Madam, but I was just on my way upstairs to tell you there is a visitor at the door asking fo
A disappointed heart is always heavy…****Glaring fiercely at the door of his office, willing any of his staff to walk through the door so he could at least have an excuse to vent his frustrations, his eyes caught the favourite coffee mug on his table and picking it up, he threw it violently at the wall and the smashing sound gave him a momentary satisfaction.At that exact moment, the Head of Sales Department was on his way to discuss the latest marketing pitch with the boss after deciding to brave the lion’s then. Even his colleagues had teased him when he casually told them he was in to see the boss.There had been teasing calls about his head and they had all laughed, saying by the time Mike Stanford was done blasting him off, his considered small head would become bigger as it rolled on the floor. Someone had even said he was sure he would come out without his tongue in his mouth.Of course, he had scoffed disdainfully, not giving them the chance to see his fear.Only the Head o
The surprise package…*****Liza dismissed the maid and, turning with a determined step, she hurriedly walked to the door just as the person pressed the bell again. Liza groaned ferociously as she pulled the chain from the back of the door.“Who the hell are you that you want to bring down the whole house just to get what you want?” Liza blasted the person with furious eyes even before the door was completely open.The short bald man that was standing at the door blinked owlishly up at her, surprised by the unexpected attack.“I—I didn’t--hmm aha…” The man stopped coughing slightly but when he took a little glance up, he saw Liza was still furious, so he dropped his eyes to try again.“I—I’m—sorry madam. I was just trying to do my job.” He stammered in a voice that was a bit scared.Liza glared the more upon hearing this silly talk. “Excuse me? You mean your job is to disturb my peace?” “No—No—of—course not, madam. I was just trying to get the attention of whoever is in the house.” H
