ROSES OVER DAFFODILS Chapter five
I have thought about buying a dog for a while but I don't know if I would manage taking care of it with my busy schedule. I would want to come back from work to something or someone. Now that I live alone, the house feels so empty sometimes.I take off my coat and tie unbuttoning a few buttons before my phone rings. I reach for it from my pockets not caring to check the caller ID."Crescent." The quivering voice of Henley catches my attention immediately."Hen..Henley, are you alright?" I ask."No." The answer makes my heart constrict."What happened? Did he hurt you? Where are you?" I ask incoherently."We had an argument with Brad." she starts. I feel my chest heave with anger. I knew fucking Chad was up to no good."Did he lay hands on you because I swear...""No." she cuts me short."What happened Henley?" I quip impatiently. If he laid hands on her, I am going to kill him."I had this pregnant scare today. When I told him, he lashed out. We had a heated argument and then he drove

I feel something heavy on top of me when I stir up. I quickly open my eyes scanning the room before I come face to face with dark brown hair. The soft snore vibrating against my chest makes me realise how we ended up in such a compromising position. We watched die hard 2, 3 but through 4, Della fell asleep. I made her sleep on my lap not wanting to wake her up. I might have dozed off too.However the position we are in is kind of weird. I smooth my hand through her hair. Soft, silky and long is how it feels. Della moans a little when I do it again. I can't believe she is still this soundly asleep. I raise my eyes to peak a look at her face. She looks so relaxed and very beautiful. While I lay back down, I wake her up unintentionally. I didn't realise until now how inconvenient the position we are in is until she stirs and another sensitive part on my body stirs. Oh shit!"I am sorry." I apologize quickly. Della raises her head immediately to look at me. Despite her sleepy face, she ma

Dinner with my family has always been a drama show. I have a feeling tonight is not going to be any different. With a mother so loving, kind and helpful who always scolds you for the smallest things like tasting the salad before the steak, a father who needs control of your life twenty four seven and a brother who is hell bent on making your life hell. A mixture of such characters is destined to end in a shit show.I have been texting away on my phone for an hour now outside at the balcony. The reason I came out here was to get some oxygen and just be alone except Aaron, my elder brother doesn't understand the theory of personal space. "A little birdie told me you got yourself a hiding place at the balcony." I don't turn to confirm anything. I already know he wants to make me mad."Are you texting a girl? Whoa, let me..." I duck my phone away from his grabby hands. I turn to scowl at him."What? I thought you wanted your little girlfriend back." Aaron mocks. He wants me to give him th

Something has been bothering me the whole day since I had the face time with Della this morning. For the past days, we have been texting non stop and flirting maybe. Della is one of the cool people I have met. She is also fun to talk to.This early morning at six, I called her to talk about our unfinished conversation yesterday night and wish her a happy Saturday. What happened is when she picked up, she was in bed. That was not the best part. Meanwhile through our conversation, I heard a masculine voice in the background.When I asked Della who the guy was, she admitted that he was a sleep over night stand. There and then I felt sick to the stomach. Imagination of them together has been burned in my brain like a tattoo and so far the day has been so sombre and my mood sour.I get off early from office and drive straight to her place. I feel my self going crazy when I don't find her home. When I called her, she tells me she is out having some drinks with friends. I persuade her to ret

Last night was the best night I have had in a while. When I open my eyes, I come face to face with a sleeping Della. I could wake up to the sight of her and not get tired. I take in her sleeping form caressing her with my eyes shamelessly. Her untamed hair looks flawless as it falls down her face. I always knew she is a good looking woman but watching her like this so peaceful, she is so magnificent. I bring my hand to sweep away the locks out of her face waking her up in the process."Good morning." I mutter. I find her half lidded eyes fascinated by how pretty her blue eyes look. I could stare in them for as long as I can."Have you been watching at me? That's creepy Crescent." she smirks half asleep."What time is it anyways?" she asks."Noon. It is late for all I care." I reply."We need to get out of bed." Della says sitting up. I lay back on the bed watching her adjust to get out of the covers."Don't you have work, things to do today?" she asks."No. You?" I ask."I was plannin

I wake up yet again beside Della. For the few days we haven't seen each other, we have casually texted. She called me last night in need of a ride home because hers had a problem and was at the garage. I was happy to help as a friend except I ended up in her bed, again. Sometimes I tend to think she cast this spell on me. The moment I set eyes on her, I can't resist her."Morning." Della murmurs."How was your night?" I ask pocking her cheek lovingly."Fun. Yours?" she smirks. "Better." I reply."Come on we have got get up. I need to be at the hospital in an hour and so do you." she sits up."An hour? We could do so much in an hour." I point out. Della shakes her head when she catches on the meaning of my words."No Crescent. We are going to be late." Della says. "Says who?" I pull her back to me before I flip us so that she is beneath me. She gasps a little caught offguard. "Tell me you don't want me now and I will let you go." I nip the underside of her ear eliciting a soft moan f

When Della opens the door, I can't help but admire her right from top to bottom. A purple sexy lace midi dress so simple but also has the effect to turn eyes especially on a body like hers. Her make up is just perfect coupled with a pair of black ankle strap heels."Beautiful." I compliment unconsciously. Della blushes."Do you mean the outfit or me?" she asks."Both. Everything actually." I splutter."You look handsome too." she comments."Shall we?" She takes my hand before we walk to the car. After making sure she is comfortable, I settle in my seat before I drive away. I play some background band music as we drive telling each other about our days. When we arrive at the resort, I open her door like a gentleman and lead her to the table I reserved."Oh my!" Della exclaims when she catches sight of the table."Do you like it?" I ask nervously. I don't understand why I took all this initiative to do stuff like this for her. I know I said it is only dinner but I went on to book this pl

The week has been a hectic one filled with errands, meetings and functions. The most absurd thing is that the day I am almost free, I have to spend it seated with a bunch of sixty year olds which are my dad and George, Henley and Brad and not forgetting my nemesis which is my brother. "I was talking with Genevieve and her husband last week. I got to meet their daughter. She is a beautiful and a good girl. I want Crescent to meet her." Dad says. I scowl. When did my father start playing matchmaker? I bet it is mom putting those thoughts in his head. Henley glances at me. Aaron smirks."That's great to hear." George mutters."I am sure they will make a good couple." Aaron adds with a grin. I doubt her would think so. What would he know about a good couple when he couldn't save his marriage?"What about Gretchen? What happened to her?" Henley asks. The nerve of her to act like she cares. I glare. Gretchen is the daughter of an investor who hosted a party we attended during the week. Our

"I think you have a visitor."I feel all the hope banish inside me. She has moved on. I am too late. That is all I can think of as I stare dumbfounded at the green eyed stranger."Who is..."Della stops mid sentence as soon as she notices me. She doesn't seem surprised or angry to see me. Her face masks with a hard nonchalant stare as she takes in my presence on her doorstep."I am sorry if...""You were leaving Henry, weren't you?" Della interrupts in a clipped tone. Green eyes frowns before he splutters. I guess he has a name and it is Henry. "Yes. I mean if...""Just go." she mouthes. Green eyes' or rather Henry's frown deepens but he excuses himself nonetheless."Call me if you change your mind." he winks. "I will."I can't believe she is considering his offer. Ain't no way I am leaving her doorstep without changing her mind. I am not letting another man touch my Della.My Della.When Henry is out of sight, I turn back to find Della's glare."Don't tell me you fucked him Della.
ROSES OVER DAFFODILS Chapter twenty two
Della is in love with me.I still get goosebumps when I think about it. How long had she been harboring it inside? When did she realise this was more than just sex to her? Thinking about the whole thing just drives me insane. I didn't know I craved to hear those words coming out of her until she said them.Now they are like an engraving on my mind. I can't stop fawning over the fact that she said that."Crescent." Mom's sharp tone cuts through my ears. Shit!"Are you okay?" she asks lowly. I nod. It is a lie. I think she knows it but doesn't push it. I am far from okay in my head. It is honest to say I am mentally fucked up.Like I haven't had enough for the last few days, Aaron decides to open his mouth. "Speaking of which, where is your girlfriend tonight?" Aaron smirks.I could punch that smirk off his face if I was in the right state of mind."Della, where is she? Don't tell me you didn't invite her?" Dad mutters. It takes so much will power to form a believable answer."She coul
ROSES OVER DAFFODILS Chapter twenty one
I am a second away from murdering the woman in front of me or so God help me."Are you serious right now Henley?" I glare."I know how stupid it sounds Crescent but the rumor wasn't true. The girl in the photo was a crazy fun who stalked him to his room." It sounds ridiculous hearing it again. "Jesus Henley! Can't you see the kind of person he is. He doesn't deserve you." I spit. She frowns."And you do?" Henley raises a brow at me."Sorry but maybe I do." I roar."You are ridiculous Crescent. Brad is innocent and I am not going to pin your insecurities on him." she retorts. I could punch a hole in a wall right this instant. Three fucking days I have spent with Henley and no phone calls from the bastard. He does one small thing as a public pity apology and she is ready to take him back. It angers me even thinking about it "I hate to say this Henley but he doesn't deserve you and when he hurts you again, don't say I didn't tell you." I mutter calmy."Thanks Crescenf for letting me

Della and I can't stop laughing about whatever just happened back there in that room and then with her mom. The look of disgust on her face when I opened the door almost made me want to cringe in guilt."Mom,"Susan's curt look cut Della off. "Did you two have sex in there because I swear...""We didn't." I cut her quick. Susan's nose scrunched further in disgust as she assessed us."So you were about to?" she raises a brow."If you hadn't interrupted, yes." Della fought back a smile that threatened to escape from her lips."You two are disgusting. At least you should first take my dress off. I don't want it smelling like wild sex."I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. "What the hell is wrong with this generation?" she muttered as she walked away."And please no sex before the party ends. I don't want my daughter ending up in a nudist column "Her comment made us up break out in giggles.After the cock block from Susan, we decided to mingle for sometime at the party before we bot

"We have a problem." Della's eyes widen in horror when she lifts her gaze. A feeling of panic rises through me when I notice her tensed posture suddenly. She just received a phone call from Ryan and whatever he told her has her distressed."What is the matter Della?" I ask worried."A model cancelled at the last minute. Mom is freaking out." she explains panickly. Shit! Susan has organized her show to perfection. It has taken her months for everything to be in place so a model cancelling affects everything."I need to find her now." Della rushes through the crowd over to the back, me following behind. I hate when she is distracted. Her mom is sitting by a chair with Ryan and Natalie holding a glass of water when we find them."Mom." Della calls when she reaches her."Della love, what am I going to do?" Susan sighs weary."I will do it."Della announces confidently."I mean think about it. I know how these things work and for Christ sake we don't have any other option. Our hands are ti
ROSES OVER DAFFODILS Chapter eighteen
The whole ride to the airport has been super chill and quiet except for the soft music playing on the radio. Della has been busy reading something on her phone while texting away. She told me it was something about some patient.I on the other hand have been divulging into my head like a freaking cave man. Since the other night Della took me to dinner, I haven't been myself. That day, I realised something I hadn't taken time to notice. It is something that scares me. It sounds so pathetic but it is the truth.Could this have become more than sex and I hadn't realised?Heck no! It can't. Della sees me as her fuck buddy nothing else. At least she has made it clear everytime we speak about it were she stood with all this. For fuck sake she convinced me to embark on our agreement after her parent's visit when I wanted to end it.Perhaps I am losing my mind over something small. I know how my heart pounded that night. I know how empty I felt when she left for her house. I realised the feeli
ROSES OVER DAFFODILS Chapter seventeen
I don't know why I agreed to let Della drive my car. I can think of two reasons and they are all so lame. First, she convinced me that since she invited me to this dinner, she should be the one driving. Second is because she convinced me she is really a good driver. In bed, yes but on the road, I don't know if I might see tomorrow."I swear to God if you dent my car Della, you are so dead." I complain for the umpteenth time. She breaks up in a wider grin."Relax your tities Armstrong. It is fun." she mocks. It maybe for her but not for me. Okay maybe that is not entirely true but the way she is driving my car is driving me insane."Where did you learn to drive like freaking formula one missy?" I question."I guess I didn't tell you about my lack of career motivation when I was still in high school. I tried everything fun." she replies."Not convincing.""Alright, then this will."She steps on the gas again. At this rate, we are going to get a speeding ticket."Freaking hell Della. Remi

When I returned home last night, I couldn't find sleep. When we said farewell to everyone and I drove Della home, she didn't talk to me the whole journey. When I tried to apologize, she told me she was tired and we would talk next time. She must be pissed for the way I talked to her. I am to blame. I let my emotions get into my head.When my intercom buzzes, I answer immediately."Mr. Armstrong. Ms Henley is here to see you." Kristy, my secretary announces."I don't want to see her." I mutter immediately. "Ms..stop. He says he doesn't want to see you. She is coming." Kristy informs.I sigh when I hang up. Immediately my door opens to reveal a scowling Henley."What was that Crescent?" she says angrily."Just the person I didn't want to see." I glare. I don't bother hiding the annoyance in my voice.Henley walks further taking a seat without my permission."What do you want Henley?" I ask impatiently."I was from lunch with your father and I passed by to say hey. I didn't expect this b
ROSES OVER DAFFODILS Chapter fifteen
Tonight I am having dinner with my family. Dad told me in advance that George and his family was invited. That only meant Henley and her boyfriend were going to attend. I expect everyone except Aaron and I to have someone on their hand. That is why I decided to invite Della to be my date for tonight. She was skeptical at first but agreed when I convinced her. I assured Della that her by my side was to make Henley feel jealous. She warmed up to the idea eventually which explains why I am outside her door at seven. She opens the door after my knock. I smile when I realise how incredibly beautiful she looks tonight. Purple dress that accentuates her figure. She has me staring for a minute before I embrace her. I haven't seen her in two days but it feels like so many days. Her hair is curled for tonight making her look more flawless. "Are those mine?" she asks looking at the flowers in my hand. I had forgotten for a second I had them."Yep. Do you like them?" I give them to her."I love
