Korina definitely knew this was coming, she knew he was gonna ask anyway, but it still came as a shock to her. She stared at him unable to give a reply.
"Sorry, I asked." Cole said feeling really bad and nervous as he saw her staring without a reply, "Just pretend as it never came up, as if I never asked anything."
"Why?" Korina asked, finally speaking.
"Why what?"
"Why do you want me to go on a date with you?" She asked, "Why do you want to go on a date with me?"
"Uhhhm." He said scratching his hair, "Ever since we met, even though it has only been a couple of times, I took a fancy towards you and I have been meaning to ask you out but didn't know how to put it. I was so close to asking for your contact at the hospital but I couldn't. Hence I asked Daniella the last time we met and I talked to her and she gave me important details of you."
"Typical Daniella." Korin
"Since Anne is a model and she's very familiar with the make up and fashion industry, she would handle your make up and clothes." Daniella rubbed her chin thoughtfully, making her suggestion to Anne and Korina."That's a good idea." Anne agreed, Korina wasn't really paying attention, she was busy towel drying her hair."So, what you gonna do?" Anne asked Daniella."Oh me?" She asked pointing to herself, "I am just gonna sit over there and video call my man." what the..." Anne didn't even finish as she saw that Daniella had skipped over to the chair and pulled out her phone."Where is Daniella?" Korina asked gaining Anne's attention."Oh, she's over there, video calling her man." Anne answered as she laid down the make up stuff on the dressing table, "Please sit, we don't have much time on our hands." Korina took the seat closing her eyes, she faced the mirror excited by w
Korina sighed immediately Cole stopped the car. They were finally making a stop after driving for minutes unending.All the way she kept chanting prayers and considered calling for help cause she didn't fully trust him and the ride was taking too long for her liking."Here we are." Cole announced, she looked around the surroundings. They were parked in front of a building that looked like a casino, Korina was dead surethat it was a Casino considering the structure and bright neon lights."You brought me to a casino?" Korina asked him, her face dropping in shock, "You seriously brought me to a Casino on our first date.""No! God no." Cole laughed, "Every one thinks it's a casino at first, wait till we get inside." He said unbuckling his seat belt and she undid hers too. He got down from the car, rushed to her side to open the door."I can see you are a gentl
"Details!" Anne and Daniella Screamed.The girls were at Daniella's apartment laying on the big bed, hanging out."How did it go?" Anne asked immediately."Does he have a big d..." Daniella asked but couldn't finished as the other girls hushed her."Daniella!." Both of them frowned at her."What?" She shrugged, "It's a necessary question, can't be having a toothpick sticking in your...""Oh, Shut it." Anne threw a pillow at her, "Give us the details Korina.""So...ahemm..." Korina cleared her throat."Well..." Her friends probed getting impatient."We set out and after this very long drive we stopped at a restaurant which I thought was a casino at first." She said."You that dumb?" Daniella rolled her eyes and Anne hit her."No idiot." Korina said scowling at her cousin, "The outward appea
"Aunty, please do not embarrass me." Cole pleaded for the umpteenth time as they entered the restaurant."Oh please." The woman scoffed at him, "When have I ever embarrassed you?""We do not want to get started on that.""Where is she?" The woman asked looking around."She's the one behind the counter.""Oh my." She exclaimed fixing her eyes on Korina, "She's so pretty.""I know right." Cole smirked, "Please no forward questions, we have only been on one date.""Oh, Just trust me boy." The old lady said assuring him and he recalled he knew better than to trust her. Korina stared in utter confusion as Cole walked towards her chatting and smiling with the old lady by his side.The two quickly reached the counter and she wanted to bolt."Hi Korina." Cole said smiling tightly
Korina was on her Whatsapp app, sitting texting her two best friends as she waited for Cole to show up.She was putting on a mini floral short sleeved dress, she settled for it as she didn't know where Cole was taking her.She had no make up on, her hair was let down and she wore a pair of fancy slip ons.It wasn't really Cold tonight so she thought her outfit was appropriate enough, she intended on taking a coat with her per chance the weather got chilly."Is he there yet?" Anne texted."Nope." Korina texted back."Are you going to his apartment? Are you guys gonna fuck?" Daniella's text came in just as she was about to text something else to Anne."Jeez, Daniella I would block you." Korina rolled her eyes as she sent her reply, Dan is such a pain in the ass. The do
They wheezed with laughter as they walked slowly out of the Cinema. The sounds of their laughter was loud, real loud.Cole stopped intermittently to clutch at his abdomen while in fits of laughter."My favorite part was when that bubble gum sensation girl went over to jamie's house to yell at Chris and they ended up burning the Christmas decorations and he messed up the night with Jamie and had to apologise." Korina said in one breath, "And when he got there, the old man of the house was like 'Have you come to destroy the rest of the house?" She said trying to imitate a manly voice which she successfully failed at causing she and Cole to erupt with more laughter."My favourite parts were when Chris and his brother fight and when Chris always tried to be rid of Samantha, the bubble gum sensation." They continued chatting and laughing as they walked to
Korina woke up the next morning with a banging headache. She flinched in pain as she touched her forehead, it felt like her head was thumping. She expected it, she had cried herself to sleep the previous night.She threw her covers off, knelt beside the bed and said a quick prayer, when she was done, she got to the bathroom to get cleaned up.After washing her face and brushing, she took her phone out and dialled Mark."Hey baby cakes." He said picking up the phone.She cringed at the nickname, "Hey Mark.""What's up? You okay?" He asked, "Your voice is down, it sounds off.""I am not feeling too well." She groaned, even talking right now was stressing her head out."Oh, sorry love.""Calling in sick." She said."Don't worry, I got you." He replied, "Would hush up for you."Thanks a lot Mark." She th
"Daniella! Daniella!" Korina called rushing into the apartment, "Daniella, are you okay?"She scanned the living room frantically, no sign of her."Daniella! Dan!" She screamed again, "Where are you? Can you hear me?"She raced up the stairs and went straight to Daniella's bedroom not caring to knock before pushing the door open.Daniella was laying there in her undies, she was shivering, her skin so pale, it was almost ghost white."Daniella?" Korina rushed to the bedside kneeling, "Oh dear!" She shrieked on taking in her cousin's full appearance.Korina threw the bed covers over her, she went to the closet to find more duvets to lay on her.She rested a hand on her forehead and withdrew in shock at the feel of her temperature."Damn girl!" She said, "You are burning with fever." Daniella only shivered in response."I would go make
Love is a beautiful thing but it becomes more beautiful when two people in love agree to exchange vows and spend the rest of their lives together.Walking down the aisle to the altar was a dream to Korina, She couldn't contain her excitement as she saw Jace standing there waiting for her, Andre smiled all the way walking her to Jace, he was happy that his mama and papa were finally going to be together.It wasn't a small rushed wedding this time, it was well planned event, it was classy and unique with important people of all walks of life present. Jace couldn't control his Joy either, he was finally having the woman he loved to himself, he had kissed her when she reached him and also after the vows. Ade couldn't contain his Joy of Jace finally finding happiness and getting the woman he was smitten by, for the first time in long
"God Daniella, I miss him so much." Korina groaned.It's been two months now, she hadn't let Jace come in contact with her but she knew he was still in Spain hanging around waiting for her to give him an answer and she wondered why he was so stubborn and she knew he was going to wait no matter how long it took."Then tell him you have forgiven him already." Daniella rolled her eyes, "And quit your whining.""I don't know." She said, "I am scared that he might still be hiding something from me, that something might go wrong.""Does Andre know Jace is his Dad yet?" Her cousin asked, "Did you tell him?""Nope." Korina shook her head."Then who the fuck did you tell the kid the guy is?" Daniella asked raising her voice."Well...i always try to avoid the questions." She sighed, "And I restricted him from seeing Andre although I know he still goes to see him
Their exhausted and sweaty bodies were still wrapped together, none of them said a word trying not to ruin the blissful moment. How they went from hugging to kissing and he ending up pounding into her in the bedroom wasn't what they both planned or expected to happen.The sex was still as great as Korina remembered, even better.Korina remembered Jace's hands, tongue and mouth were still very skillful."Damn, that was great." She let out in a raspy breath, "God!""I missed you." He said kissing the top of her forehead and then proceeding to kiss her. She climbed on top of him and began grinding against his erection leading to yet another vigorous love making session. Korina woke up naked the next morning to an empty bed side and rumpled sheets, "Holy fuck, no!" She screeched on realising what happened the previous nights.
Andre ran out of the school happily, excited to go home, he went to a corner and sat on a bench quietly waiting patiently for Korina to come pick him up."Hello." He looked up at the sound of the voice, a tall blonde bearded man was before him."How are you?" The man asked."Fine sir." Andre answered shifting uncomfortably, his mum had told him to beware of strangers and not talk to them.Jace gazed down at his son and studied his features, he saw how he cowered from him and felt his heart break, he didn't know how to react to that.A lot of emotions stirred up in him, he wanted to pick up the boy and hug him close but at the same time didn't want to do that as it would scare him more."What's your name dear?" He asked."Andre." Andre looked up at him, "What's yours?" He asked frowning.Jace almost laughed, his son tried to look fierce, "I wou
4 years later.Spain, Madrid."Andre!" She screamed, "Come put on your shirt if you do not wanna get some ass whooping.""No mum." The little boy giggled and ran down the stairs making Korina chase him."We are gonna be late." She growled, "I don't have time to play all day Andre.""But I wanna play." The boy pouted and ran to hide beneath the tables.Korina stood with hands at akimbo trying to find her son, "Andre! Andre!" Come out where ever you are." She smirked, "Mummy is gonna find you."She tiptoed to the dining area and bent over the dining table, she stretched her hands to drag out a giggling Andre."Yayy!" He hugged her, "Let's do that again." He pleaded."Nope." Korina patted his head, "You have to go to school baby."She dropped him and wore his shirt for him, "And I have
Korina was angry and furious on day one after breaking up with Jace, she had destroyed literally everything on her path, even when she received a text from Claire stating Jace was unconscious in the hospital, her anger didn't lessen."He deserves it!" She yelled, "That bastard, he deserves to die."Even Aunt Dido had tried to calm her down despite her own grieving self, Korina's anger never lessened it only worsened and eventually she was left alone. On the second day, she finally cried, she cried her heart out mourning for her mother, knowing that her mother died at the hand of the man she loved, the man she loved killed her.All the memories came down on her and she cried at each one. She didn't move from her spot on the bed that day, despite all the knocks at her door, she didn't move.She just drowned in her tears missing her mother asking why she left.&n
*warning, violent scene*"What's taking her so long?" Jace whined impatiently, "The priest is getting impatient." He whispered to Ade who was by his side."You know how females are with delaying." His best friend shrugged, "She would be walking through that door soon."Jace was about to turn to the priest when a loud scream was heard. It was obviously from Korina's room, the two men looked at each other before breaking into a run with the rest of the family following them."You are full of lies Russo." Korina screamed, "How dare you say so? How dare you even show your face here?""I have proof sweetheart." He said throwing an envelope towards her, "and I have a video." He smirked feeling proud that his dad had recorded Jace doing sick stuff."She died years ago." She said, "What ever you say now is false.""Look in the envelope bitch!" H
Korina felt like a princess looking in the mirror, yes she was a princess who had finally found prince charming or so she thought.Her white transparent veil was pulled back on her full well styled afro, her make up was nude as usual extremely flawless, a diamond necklace Jace had got her rested on her neck. Her white gown fitted to her body with a train past the royal long length, it was twelve feet long. Her shoes were actual glass slippers with diamond encrusted stones. Her bouquet of flowers which she didn't hold yet was of yellow roses, her favorite and it grew to be she and Jace's favorite."Are you ready?" Aunt Dido asked entering the room."Yes ma." Korina replied."Awwn... Look at my baby." Her eyes welled with tears seeing how Korina looked dazzling. She walked over to her and pulled her into a hug, "You look marvelous.""Thank you Aunt." Korina wa
Korina took a deep breath before turning and looking into the mirror, she stared wide eyed, is that me? Her eyes welled with tears. "Oh my God." Daniella gushed staring at her cousin as she rushed to her side "Don't make me cry." Anne sniffed, "My best girl looks magnificent." The dress was of white colored lacy material. It was a mermaid gown with medium short straps. It clung to her body fitting her like a glove. Korina began to cry, she never imagined she'd try on one of these on but here she was wearing a wedding gown and getting married to the man she loved in two days. "Don't cry." Anne hugged her, "It looks wonderful on you, I have no words." "You look breath taking." Daniella said, "Simply breath taking." "I can't believe this guys." She sniffed, "I am getting married."
