JAYSON'S POV (Continued)I quickly move away from there, and by the time I take my eyes to where I saw Cherry last, i can't find her anymore.I sigh and move to the wine area, picking up some expensive ones and moving to the cutlery area located close to the wine area, I pick some really expensive mugs, wine glasses and carefully put them in my trolley to avoid them from breaking.I'm about leaving the area, but turning left I collide with someone moving straight towards me, and if not for my strong composure, I would have fallen.Looking at the person who I mistakenly bumped into, I'm shocked to see that I'm staring straight at Cherry Collins, my first love.********She stares at me for a while, then she looks away and reverses her trolley so fast to a different direction.I jerk and follow her immediately, "Cherry, Cherry please wait, we need to talk, I want to talk to you." I say as I walk behind her but she continues walking and keeps selecting things from the shelves angrily, wi
Next DayJEANNE'S POVI wait at the balcony to check if she has arrived. What's taking her so long. Then I see the flashes of car brake light, and the automated gates open, and oh she's here.I quickly raise down the stairs like someone being chased, but I just can't wait to see my best friend and sister.I get outside finally, I turn towards to the packing lot and see her coming out, running towards her direction, I try to hug her immediately but I notice her face is moody.Seeing me, her face softens, and I finally embrace her tightly, "Hey sweetie, I missed you baby." She says engulfed in my suffocating but comforting embrace."I missed you even more, come on let's go inside. Mark please help us take the luggages inside." I say and he replies with a slight bow, "Okay ma'am."*********"So how were you able to finish all the rooms so fast? I didn't expect you earlier, when you called me this morning, I thought you were just joking." I say, and dig into my pasta and meatball sauce,
CHERRY'S POVI walk into the building and head straight to my office, answering pleasantries before I get to my door.Getting inside, everything is clean and in order.Smiling to myself, I know that Tamara has definitely outdid herself, but she did well, this time.The clusters I left when I travelled are no where to be seen, the office is cleaned, and the fridge is well stocked with my favorite chocolates.I hear a soft knock on the door and I know that it's Tamara, "Come in." I say."Good morning ma'am, welcome back, how was your trip?" She says but I can detect something unusual in her tone."Good morning Tamara, and my trip was fine. I hope everything is still intact here, and all my schedules for the day have being arranged." I ask, "Yes ma'am... ma'am." She stammers and I finally looks at her.Oh my God! I'm shocked at what I see. "Tamara, what happened?" I ask her, but she just mumbles a reply and shakes her head."Don't worry ma, I'm okay, I'm fine. “She says with a shiver, an
CHERRY'S POVIts just two hours and forty five minutes precisely and I'm already bored.Switching on the TV, my cell phone vibrates with an incoming call, and without even looking at it, I put the phone in my ears."Hello." I say, and Jeanne's voice comes through."Hey what's up." She asks me and I reply, "How are you, have you arrived already.""Yeah, of course, missing me?" She asks and I just laugh, as I reply, "Yes, you don't know how bored I am right now." "Well, the hotel I am in right now, should be the best, I mean everything here is top notch, the bed I am currently lying on is so comfy, you know." I hear her squeak from the other end, and I chuckle, "Yeah, right enjoy yourself.""I'm wondering what other rooms look like, but I really like this one, it has my favorite designs and color also." She says so sharply."How can you talk so fast, without pausing and yet still not make a mistake." I ask her teasingly."Well maybe that's because I'm a rap legend." She says boastfully
JEANNE'S POV I'm currently in my room at the hotel, lying on my bed, having my dinner. After my successful meeting with handsome Jayson, I did some window shopping walking round the city as Cherry had adviced me, not alone though with Jayson who decided to show me round the city, I sent my driver back to the hotel and we took a cab back to my hotel when we were done. When we arrived together, surprisingly he had a lunch meeting with someone at the hotel I'm lodging at, so he promised to call when he was done so we could start carrying out our plan. When we waved goodbye at the hotel lobby, I came back, dropped the things I got on the bedside table, went straight to the bed, tired and sleepy after the long walks and I passed out in seconds. Now relaxing after taking my bath, I hear a knock on my door and putting on my robe I go to open the door. I'm sure it's Jayson, so I don't bother asking who's at the door, and true to my thoughts he's the one. "Hey, are you done with your mee
Some Days Later***********JEANNE'S POVI wake up and go immediately to the bathroom.I'm pressed, and I have a long day ahead of me, I'm going back to Orlando today with Jayson and it's going to be a long drama awaiting me.Putting all thoughts of the impending storm that I know will surely subside, I pick out the last cloth from my wardrobe (I've already packed, but I didn't put this particular ones in my luggage), place them on the bed and go take my bath.Minutes later, I'm done showering and wearing a towel round my body I go to the mirror and flipping and creaming my hair, I pack the short tresses in a tight bun atop my head.I don't stress my hair too much, the way Cherry does, her hair's longer and fuller so it definitely needs more care unlike mine, that I can just pack and I'm done with it.Creaming my body with the new lotion I bought from a mart in one of the recommended skin stores Jayson directed me too, and rubbing sunscreen all over, I put on my blue jean trousers and
CHERRY'S POVI am at the office with Tamara sorting out some files.Tamara is better now at least, she's back to her normal cheerful and bubbly self, skin glowing and face radiant, her pregnancy although not showing yet, really fits her I can see it.My phone beeps, a text message comes in, I don't want to read it as it may be some useless VAT messages, or whatever, but something pushes me to pick up the phone.I see it's a message from Jeanne telling me she'll be back today instead of next week like I expected and this will surely disrupt my plan.Sighing, I need to go and prepare for her, make sure food's ready amongst other things.I call Tamara and Mark, tell them about Jeanne's arrival, tell them to cancel all my schedules and after assigning them some things to do, I pick up my bag, wave goodbye and leave.When I get home, I tell Maria to quickly make a lavish meal, I don't know if she's coming with the mysterious guest or not.Racing upstairs to my room, I quickly take of my cl
JEANNE'S POVCherry has slept off.Laying her gently on the bed, and covering her with the blanket, I go and meet Jayson.He's already made himself at home, I can see that, as he's currently eating Maria's lavish delicacies at the dining table.Bringing out a chair, and sitting beside him, I fetch a large helping of pasta and chicken sauce, and begin eating too.Cleaning his mouth, with the napkin placed in front, he drinks his fruit juice, clears his throat and asks, "How's she, what did she say?" "Well, for now coast's clear, you can stay." I answer, although I don't tell him everything she said, so he wouldn't be worried.It seems he's done eating, because he stands up and says, "I think I need to rest, I'm already tired and it's getting late." Nodding I call Maria and tell her to guide him to his room.I continue eating when suddenly another idea pops in my head.Bingo! I think I've just officially turned to Jayson's and Cherry's matchmaker sent from heaven.* * * * * * * * * *
