I stare at her phone ringing for the umpteenth time. Asides from the fact that I feel like I've been hit by a truck, there's no way I'm going to notify her that a certain Frederick is calling her phone none stop. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. "Your phone has been ringing. I was too weak to bring it down." I say as she enters the room. "It's okay. Dr Philip said you should get a lot of rest and maximum rest is what you'll get.""I still smell like vomit even after changing clothes. I really need a thorough bath so as to get rid of this smell."Why am I getting a stare from Cara that says you just said something abominable. Oh, hope she's not thinking I'm insinuating she gives me a bath. "I'm not suggesting you give me a bath.""Good because I couldn't even phantom the thought.""Many women would jump at the offer.""I'm not one of those many women. Do you want me to help you to the bathroom or do I just mop your body?""Please assist me to the bathroom."I try my best not to pu

I hand over the drugs to him and a glass of water . He tries to hold the glass cup but his hand is shaking badly . "I'd help you pour some in your mouth , guess who the little baby is now ? " I say as I giggle and draw closer to help him use his drug . "Thank you" he says trying to force a smile . This is the first time in ages I'll see Liam weak and vulnerable. He has always made extra efforts to be take charge of every situation. He takes a sip from the glass and hurriedly throws the drugs down his throat. He struggles to swallow them . " I hope I never fall sick ever again." He mutters in frustration. I put a pillow at his back so he can sit a little upright for this food to digest. "Cara I know I'd be asking for to much but please can you stay at my place till I feel better, let's say five to six days . " I go mute for a moment and i minutes with my eyebrows raised. "That's a lot Liam, 6 days is a really long time ; that's approximately one week. " one a second thought, "I'd d

Words cannot express how grateful I am that Cara has been staying with me these past few days. She treats me like an egg and subtly, it makes me happy. Feels like it’s been ages since someone cared for me this much. It was a huge error on my part to even offer to pay her while she was here. She was offended. I'm glad I closed that chapter quickly and brought up an amusing topic.“What’s making you grin?” She asks “How long have you been standing there? ”“Not quite long. brought your dinner.”“Thank you. You should have called me rather than stress yourself by bringing it up. I can walk, remember?”“I don’t want you stressing.”“I’m not.”“I hope I don’t get addicted to eating your meals. You cook so well.”“You say this every day. Thank you.”“That’s because it’s the truth. The way you keep stuffing me with well-cooked meals morning, afternoon and evening. I hope I can make out of my door without struggling.”“Please, that’s too much exaggeration.” She says giggling.I love that She

CARA“Somehow I love putting Liam on his toes. You can call me weird, I don’t mind. I understand that he is simply asking for a harmless outing to make up for how he previously treated me, to make things right, and to make the few remaining moments we have together special. I ponder for a few minutes while staring at Liam, "Liam has always been a really sweet soul and the softest person you can meet but acts so tough . I break the silence with a long, stretch, very audible sigh.“Liam you do not have to look gloomy, I’m sorry I reacted the way I did . I over reacted .” I say giving him my puppy-eyed expression while focusing on his eyes. “I just want to make you happy and see you happy for the longest of times” he says looking like a kid his mom took candy from . I I approach him and smile as I hug him. He brightens, and I am relieved. “Is that a yes then?” He asks me with the nicest smile. “It most certainly is,” I reply, extending my hand to shake his and signalling that the bu

“It’s so good to see you Rosa.” I say cheerily as I open my arms to hug her unfortunately she didn’t respond to it. “I’m so annoyed with you.”“What have I done this time?”“You’ve not been answering my calls!”“Because I know how you get when I’m sick. You wouldn’t even let me lift a piece of paper and I know your detection skills never fail you. There’s no way I could have hidden it if I decided to respond to your call.”“I forgive you because I know how I can be but you have to make it up to me.”“Definitely.”“Hope you are feeling a lot better because you look like it.”“I am.”“I dropped by the office and Veronica told me you’ve not been in for a while.”“Yes, I decided to take the week off.”“Liam I know would never take a leave except it has to do with Laura. Must have really been bad.”“Yes it was but the doctor insisted that I needed rest, a lot of it.”“Great. Where’s Laura?”“She’s with my mum. How’s traveling round the continent coming along?”“It’s been wonderful. Guess

I continually try to maintain a straight face but Rosa has her way with me. I am almost never serious around her. We enjoy teasing each other , She is my closest friend asides my friend from high school; Lucas Walter. He stays in Paris and comes once in a blue moon. His dad is a best friend and business partner of my dad. Our families had Sunday dinner together once in a month. His dad and mine will have some chitchat and go golfing afterwards, while Lucas and I drive down to the basketball court in the estate . I tried not to smile until Rosa says “ both of you will make a great couple” as she starts to hum to the popular “here comes the bride song used to usher the bride in at the church weddings.” I can already picture her in her a white , simple but well laced and stoned armless wedding gown , a simple but absolutely beautiful pearl pair of earring and bracelet , her perfect styled low bun and ultimately her smile that radiates and lightens up the whole room. “ she adds .

I had no choice but to tell Liam the reason I left and ended things was because my mum was critically ill and needed treatment. I also lied that I had to end things with him because I didn't know how the next days, months or years of my life would look like. Where I would be and so on. I didn't want to complicate things for him hence my reason for ending things with him. Having responded to his long troubled question, I'm assured that such question will not surface anymore. We both cried like babies and bid ourselves goodnight and the rest of the week he spent with his mum. He offered I came along but I rejected. A family dinner or breakfast at the table with his father is the last thing on my to do list. Right now I really don't care about his opinion on where Liam and I stand now. I've suffered too much and if being with Liam makes me happy then I will be with him regardless of what his father has to say. You sound so confident. Knowing you as well as I do, you'll be out of town

Now I wonder why Cara felt shy and uncomfortable about expressing how I feel towards her in public . She has always been a big fan of PDA . I normally am the shy and private type so I am not so into publicly showing affection, but I will always do everything in my might to show how much I love Cara and how dedicated I am to making her happy . I walk into my office, pick up my key and head to the elevator that leads to the parking lot . I get to the entrance of the elevator and see Cara and Veronica standing there waiting to get in . “Hey Cee “Cara recognizes my voice and turns back . Veronica looks back in shock as her eyes are wide open. “Ohh Liam, You’re still around , I thought you went home already ?”She says stammering. I can tell that she’s so uncomfortable with my new habit of showing affection towards her at the office . I’m eager for everyone in this building to get the message because Cara is very attractive and that doesn’t go unnoticed by the male workers in thi

“Mom, Sarah ate my chocolate even after I gave her a piece from mine.”“I also got one for her. What happened to hers that she had to eat yours?”“She ate hers and mine as well.”“Laura if I understand what you are saying, you mean she ate hers and still ate yours despite giving her from yours?”“Yes mom.”“That I won’t tolerate. Go get her for me.”“Yes mom.”Sarah strolls into the room with guilt written all over her face. “Why did you eat your sister's chocolate?”“I'm sorry mom.”“You haven't answered my question. Why did you eat your sister's chocolate?”“I'm sorry Laura, I thought you didn't want it anymore.”“That's a lie. You know that's her favourite chocolate. She was kind enough to give you from it yet you went ahead to eat the remaining. For that, you are grounded. That's not being contented. I'm removing the exact amount of the chocolate from your piggy bank. Now apologize to your sister.”“I'm sorry for eating your chocolate Laura.” “It's okay. I forgive you.”“Who's

“Good day Delon.” “How are you Liam. You are not supposed to come get Laura until Sunday.”“That’s not why I’m here.”“What’s brings you here as your favourite person has gone out to see a friend.”“How’s your wife Georgia?” “She’s fine. It’s unlike you to visit me so early in the morning on a weekday. Is everything okay? How are your parents.”His pretence disgusts me.“They are both doing well. Delon, I know why my father merged with your company. It’s no secret anymore.”“What are you talking about?”“Delon, quit the pretence. Mother overheard your conversation between you and my father concerning me and Cara’s relationship.”“I don’t have the slightest clue to what you are taking about.I massage my temple and do a quick inhale and exhale. A habit of mine when I’m extremely stressed. “If this is about that girl Liam, I suggest you go back home.”“She has a name. It’s Cara. Delon please I am in love with Cara.”“I don’t care. Who knows if it was both your ploy to end her life.”

“ This is the same spot I left you when I was going to work thus morning. Did you move an inch at all?”“How was your day?” I reply completely exhausted from wailing. “It was good. I need to tell you something Cara.”“What’s it?”“Liam came here to look for you three nights ago when you were fast asleep.”“And what did you tell him?”“That you weren’t here.”“I’m sorry you had to lie on my behalf.”“Cara, you can’t keep doing this to yourself. Crying yourself to sleep, skipping meals and soaking yourself in a pool of misery. That’s not going to solve anything.”“If you want me to leave just say it. I’m sorry for encroaching on your space. I’ll go pack my things.”“You know that’s not what I mean. I love you so much that it hurts me to see you like this.”“I know that’s not what you mean and I’m sorry for being ungrateful. I’m just tired of a lot of things, I need time. Time to think, heal and clear my head.”“And that’s why I booked a room for you to take some time out at a newly ope

I’m boiling with so much rage that I can explode any moment from now. Why would she do this to me a second time. I get that she left because of her mum the first time but now? Leaving me without any tangible explanation. What if I didn’t decide to surprise her by coming in earlier? I would come home to an empty apartment with no clue as to what happened. To think that Laura was becoming fond of her. I wish I followed my instincts. What sort of hold does this girl have over me?“She’s gone.” I say slamming the door behind me.“Mother she’s gone again.” I say this time around bursting into tears as I run into my mother’s arms. “It’s okay baby. It’s okay.”“It’s not mom, she’s gone.”“Put yourself together. You are a man.”“How dare you say such a thing like that to him? Knowing fully well what’s on ground. Baby, your father has something to tell you.”“I’m not sure I’m in the right frame of mind.”“Give us a minute.” She says signing to father. What are they discussing that’s taking

I begin to pack my things with the little strength I have left. I need a cab so badly and it’s really late. I call Veronica to help me send one in. While I’m waiting for my cab, I carry out my stuff to the passage. I didn’t have time to pack a lot but I made sure to pack very necessary ones. I see a car coming towards my building but the flash light is so full and almost blinding. Liam? He’s not supposed to be in town until tomorrow. Oh my God, can I just disappear? “ My love. I couldn’t wait till tomorrow. Had to come in with my friends private jet because there was no available flight.” He says running to hug me.“Liam,”“Is everything okay? You look like you saw a ghost. Aren’t you happy that I’m back earlier?” His eyes eventually falls on my things sitting by the corner of the passage.“What’s happening? Are you going for a sleepover?”I try to respond but no words leave my mouth. “Talk to me. You are making me scared. Did someone break into the house?” He says opening the doo

Liam has been really busy lately. Laura and I have been keeping each other busy. He said they are working on expanding the company to other countries. I love how he calls me every time he has a moment to himself. I'm getting used to seeing my name and face all over different blogs. Of course, I've been looking. One of the things I want to stop doing so badly. Thank God I have a clean slate and no skeleton to hide.It's a Wednesday evening for heaven’s sake and Laura is spending the week with Flora’s parents. Who could be knocking on my door? Besides, Liam wouldn't be back until tomorrow.What does Liam’s father want from me this time around? I question as I see him through the eye hole. I hesitate before opening the door. “Good day sir.” He ushers himself inside before I even ask him in. “I'll just go straight to point.”As you always do. I almost responded “I see you refused to heed to my warnings.”“I love your son. I couldn't help myself.”“The Ace’s are very annoyed and so

“Are you excited for our girl’s night with grandma?”“Yes.” Laura says.I was so happy when Liam suggested I go with Laura to her friend’s birthday party last week. The stares were a bit disturbing but the height was when one of the mother’s walked up to me saying I’ll never be able to take Flora’s place no matter how hard I tried. After putting her in her place, I sat down and had a long and deep thinking. I don’t have any intentions of taking Flora’s place in either Laura or Liam’s life.I made a friend who over head everything the mean lady said to me. She told me not to listen to her and that she was Flora’s very good friend. Which made me realise why she would say such a thing to me. We were supposed to have our girls weekend last week but Mrs Johnson had to travel for a job so we moved it to this week. Unfortunately Liam had a last minute meeting holding in Croatia.“Cara.

“Good morning sweets.”“Good morning baby. It’s so early.”“It felt like I was dreaming so I had to be sure this is for real.”“Hey boyfriend.”“Good. It’s real. Sorry I called so early. Blame it on my rush of adrenaline. I’ll see you in the morning.”“See you soon baby.”I am so happy. I’ll have to branch at mother’s place to tell her the good news when I go pick up Laura later in the day. From the bathroom, I hear my phone consistently buzzing non- stop. I hope Laura is okay. I pick up my bathrobe and stroll towards where my phone is laying. It was a picture of me and Cara from yesterday on a blog with the caption ‘Billionaire’s college sweetheart back in town and caught seen in his arms.’ Most of the messages coming in were screenshots from the blog asking me if this is true. Cara was looking so dashing in the sexy green dress she was wearing. It wasn’t revealing yet something about about the dress was screaming hot. I ignore all the messages and head back to the bathroom. I’m no

For a moment, I couldn’t breathe after setting my eyes on you. You are an epitome of beauty. You, the dress, the heels. I might just end up one knee’s tonight.”I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone in this estate can hear my heartbeat. The dress is doing exactly what I want it to do. The see-through beaded heels is gorgeous. Liam handed it over to me earlier today with a few other items I’m yet to know the content. He suggested I wear the heels tonight. I like how he mentioned he wasn’t insisting I wear it and that I can always go with any other option. “Are you okay?”“Yes, yes I am.” I say flushed.“Thought I lost you there.”“You look clean as always and very handsome.”He places his hand on his chest feigning shock and then bows in appreciation.“For a complement you get every second, everyday,
