Charles stared at the old clock patiently waiting for his sister to finish dressing up.He gazed at the picture of Irene he had from the prom night,She looked astonishing , even now she looked more beautiful. He had missed Irene so much and he regretted why he made that decision at first.
“What took you so long Morgan”. Charles asked as he stretched out his hands to aid his sister as she came down the stairs
One good fact about the Davenport family was that they were people with a gentle character,they showed it wherever they went.And of course they were good looking .
“I had to put my makeup on,and you don't expect me to rush with it”. Morgan said as she placed her hands on her brother’s hands ,she gave her brother a peck on both cheek.
“You look amazing Charles”. She said smiling at Charles
“You too ,now let's go”. Charles said as he pulled the door handle for this sister.
“By the way, where are we to go first, Mom's,or Uncle Josh’s house?”. Morgan asked, staring at Charles who was now confused .
“Morgan, can I ask you something?”. Charles said as he moved closer to his sister .
“Sure”.she responded.
“Where does Irene live?”. Charles asked
“Irene?, like Irene Martinez?”. Morgan asked, surprised at the questions
“Yes Irene Martinez”.
“Wow Charles, just wow , are you trying to get back to her after all these years, I am not sure she would want to see you , cause if I were in her shoes I wouldn't, unless maybe she's after your money”.
Morgan said as she looked at her brother
“Well maybe That's a way out for me,my money, besides I still do have feelings for her.” Charles said scratching his hair with his fingers
“Well,the last time I heard about her was from her friend Mabel, she said she got a job and now works for Rasemela's family.”
“Rasemela’s family?Do you think I might know them?”. Charles asked thinking deeply
“I don't think so,they are new to this town duo , they owned a huge company and large Estate around town and the next town too ,and I think the Boss is dating Irene”. Morgan said as she smiled at her brother.
“Poor Irene, she had suffered enough waiting for you”. Morgan said as she hopped into the super SUV in front of them.
Heaving a deep sigh Charles got into the car and drove off.
Irene woke very early amidst the pain she experienced, she hurried and made breakfast, mopped the floor, washed the dishes and prepared the kids for school. She was deeply sorry for how she treated Antonio, this be a way to show her regrets . The kids were having breakfast when Antonio stepped into the kitchen. Was she some kind of programmed robot cause that would definitely make sense, Antonio thought as he stared at his house.
“Good morning Daddy”. Tommy said as he waved his pancake at his dad .
“Good morning Daddy”. Isabella said almost immediately.
“Good morning my pumpkins”. Antiono said, hugging the both of them.
“How was your night my angels, hope you didn't dream about monsters this time Isabella”. Antiono said cleaning up Tommy's wet Mouth.
“Monsters?,no daddy, I dreamt of you kissing Miss Irene”. Isabella said as she smiled at her dad .
Irene let out a warm laugh at Isabella as she packed in their lunch.
“Good morning Irene , hope you slept well?”. Antiono asked as he helped himself with a coffee cup and a slice of bread.
“Yes I did Antonio”. Irene avoiding eye contact with Antonio.
“We need to talk”. Antiono noticed her reaction.
“Daddy i am ready for school”. Tommy yelled out .
Irene took the twins by their hands and said a word of prayer with them. She gave them a kiss on the forehead as she took them into the car . Antonio got into the car and drove off . Irene had to prepare lunch for the family now as she was sure Antiono's parents would be visiting late at night,she gazed at her clock there was more than enough time,she was anxious,she had never met them before, would they like her as a help and also as their son's lover , she had to impress them.
Few hours later Antiono got back from dropping the kids,he had to prepare for work. Irene was done bathing and was having breakfast. Antonio walked up to her ,he loved the sweet scent of her perfume,he sat at the sofa next to where she was.
“Am sorry”. Antiono said as he stared at the TV channel that was playing
Irene let out a deep sigh as she stared at Antonio
“I should be the one apologizing here, not you. Am sorry for the stress I let you pass through because of me.I know you were stressed out so you don't have to fake it”. Irene said as she stared at the TV.
“Do you love him?”. Antiono asked, looking up at the ceiling.
There was silence for a long period of seconds.
“I did ,but now all I can think of is you Antonio”. Irene said, staring at thin air.
There was soft music from the TV playing in the background. That was what Antonio wanted at that moment. He moved straight to Irene, took her ceramic cup aside,held her by the waist and lifted her up, his statue overshadowing her small body , she placed her foot on his as she moved her body slowly to the beat of the sound. Antonio at the climax of the beat lifted Irene with both hands on the sofa ,he gave her a smooth peck on her forehead as he unbuttoned her short sleeve top, Irene filling the heat of his fingers and sensations from all angles heating her drew Antiono closer to herself.
Antonio digged in to Irene as he flexed his hands around her belly,he cupped her succulent breast as Irene gave out a deep groan, She missed this ,she missed him.
Few minutes later,the both love birds where resting on the sofa with Irene’s head on Antiono's chest , Antiono was panting slowly as he reached out for the remote,he switched off the TV which was now showing Disney world.
“Do you think there would like me?”. Irene said rising up her head to met Antiono's gaze .
“What , my parents?, you need not worry about that”. Antiono said drawing her back to his chest.
“Okay well I would be going to the mall to get some stuff for the cooking”. Irene said loosing herself from Antiono.
“No I don't want you to gooo , please babe”. Antiono flexing Irene's hair .
The both laughed at Antiono’s statement.
The sweet smell of the gazpacho soup emanating from the kitchen left both the kids and Antonio gasping for breath, Wasn't Irene just the perfect cook . The soup was a local delicacy Irene’s mom prepared for them on special occasions, a soup made majorly of tomatoes. Irene prepared it with all the love she had for her mom's cooking. She really missed those good old days.She wondered when she would be able to go home. “Dress up Tommy, Grandma and Grandpa will be here soon”. Isabella yelled as she ran her brush down her long curly hair “Okay what are you kids up to”. Antiono said as he grabbed Tommy's petite suit,he helped Tommy wear his suit which fitted in perfectly. “You look just like a prince charming my good man”. Antiono said as he stared proudly at Tommy. Tommy was just like him when he was his age , with the same brown eyes and curly hair. Isabella, almost done with her hair, ran to her daddy to zip up her dress, Irene came in with her shoes as she helped her fit into it .
“Charles Davenport speaking” “Hello mister Charles, this is Mr Ethan on the line, I am calling on behalf of my boss Antiono Rasemela who is currently not on seat in acceptance of the business proposal your company made with Rasemela's company on the 28th of July 2007”. “Alright, I want to see your boss Antiono, can I get an appointment for that”. Charles said, looking at himself as he adjusted his tie in front of his mirror. “My boss?, I would get you an appointment since you are making a business deal with our company, by the way I am Ethan, his assistant secretary in charge of business deals in this company”. Mr Ethan said as he looked into Antiono's schedule for the week. “Okay Mr Ethan thanks for calling bye now”. He hanged up Heaving a deep sigh of relief, Charles for a second thought Antiono wouldn't accept his business proposal,of course he never wanted to partner with his company,he was only doing this for Irene. Irene got the kids dressed up for school, made breakfast
“Really, you should have told me earlier that you would be expecting a visitor”. “Actually I didn't expect it,I just had to build a strong relationship with him,to secure the contract, that's business baby”. Antiono said laying Tommy down at his bed .The twins were already fast asleep,they sleep early this days. Irene prepared Olla podria made with chicken peas and beans,a recipe she was fond of when she was little,she remembered how she and Charles enjoyed running errands for her mom just to eat this fantastic meal. She was definitely confident that Antiono and of course his supposed visitor would love it. Charles was nervous, should he just cancel everything, he felt scared of the fact that Irene might deny him,at the same time he wanted to do it anyways. Antiono has to know she's his . “Charles Davenport speaking”. “Boss it's Peter”. “Ahh Peter, right, get me the finest of the suite in town”. “Alright Boss at your service”. Charles Davenport wasn't really the fashion type,bu
“I don't ever want to see this man in this house anymore,do I make myself clear”. Antiono said as he looked round at his security staff. “Yes sir”. “Good”.He walked back into his mansion angrily. Irene laid face down on the dining table,she couldn't move, Antiono looking at her didn't know what to feel anymore,of course he was angry but seeing Irene this way melted his heart. “ Come”. He said as he stood still facing Irene. Irene lifting up her head looked up at Antonio,she was sobbing, she was in deep thought. She walked up to Antonio. Antiono looked down at her, his Irene, heaving a deep sigh he drew her closer to him and hugged her. “Am sorry”. Irene said crying deeply “ About what?”. Antiono asked, still hugging her. “I never wanted any of this to happen,I caused a fight between you guys,he was supposed to make a deal with your company,I broke off the deal”. “It wasn't your fault”. Antiono said looking up at the ceiling “I_i shou.. “Ssshhhh”. Antonio said as he lifted
Antiono was in a bit of a haste today,he planned on taking Irene out that evening , when his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number calling. “Antiono speaking”. “Oh hi Antiono, I know my voice doesn't sound familiar but this is Mabel , Irene’s best friend”. A famnine voice said from the other side of the line. “How may I be of help to you Miss”. He was already irritated with the way she spoke,as if she was trying to lure him into something he wouldn't want to do “Well easy there Mr Antiono, it might interest you to know that your so called Irene isn't really as perfect as you taught she was”. Mabel said They was silence for some seconds “Irene and I had been close friends since 4th grade, so trust me I can't be lying when I say something like this,I don't know how you would see it but all am doing is just for your own good Mr Antiono”. Mabel paused “You see Irene is not actually the kind of girl you can keep in check or at your own pace , she's known for moving from d
Tommy was standing close to Isabella the whole time, just for his dad to notice his increase in height. Irene gave out a faint cough, gaining Antiono's action. “I think your boy has something to show you.” “Am taller daddy”. Tommy spilled out immediately. Isabella hissed at Tommy as she continued with her breakfast. “Wow , that's amazing, you grew taller, am happy for you boy”. Antiono said smoothing Tommy's hair. Now he understood why Isabella was crying earlier,he laughed at the thought of that. Antiono's phone rang . He saw the number but he quickly cut the call ,he didn't want to pick up. This cut Irene's attention. Maybe he was avoiding work anyways. Antiono knew who it was , he saw her text ,her frequent call ,but he never responded to any of them. He was getting sick of it already. The phone rang again with a caller ID Mabel Richards. “What on earth was wrong with this lady”. He cut the call. Few seconds later a text came in “Hi , hope your not wor
“I have always told you Natasha,I am not interested in this, whatever happens between our parents stays between them ,I am a grown man for crying out loud and this kind of thing is my decision not theirs.” Antiono said shifting away from Natasha who was now getting annoyed. “You can't say that Antiono, our parents had already agreed on our relationship, and of course Antonio”. Natasha said as she drew closer and closer towards Antonio,she swayed her hands freely on Antiono's chest. “Of course I love you Antonio, let's just stop all this and get married already”. Natasha said, looking at Antonio seductively. “Stop this nonsense right now Natasha”. Antiono said as he looked up the staircase. All he wanted was to be with Irene that moment,he didn't know if she was going to take this seriously,he prayed she doesn't. “Ooh I see ,so she's the problem here, that little scam bag is the reason you have been avoiding me.” Natasha said as she made her way up the staircase. Antiono wa
“How can you say that Antonio, for crying out loud am your mother,I raised you,I know exactly what's best for you”.Mrs Rasemela said as she raised her hands up demonstrating how long she has known Antonio. “I know bad when I see it ,that girl is up to no good, can't you see that?”. Ann said as she walked up to Antiono who was now tired of the whole conversation. Ann was Mrs Rasemela’s elder sister,who lived in the same city with Antonio. Antonio had so much respect for Ann ,she was the same Aunty that breastfed him when he was little, cause his mom couldn't. But at this time he wasn't in support of anything she was saying. Antonio stood silent, observing his two aunties, “when would they ever support him on his own decision”. He thought. It's been weeks , and he hadn't heard from Irene. That night of the incident, Antiono slept in the same hospital ward with Irene. The morning was all bright and cool. “Mr Antiono, you're still here”. Doctor Young said as he pulled up
