Take Me Back, Love Chapter 24: Acting Different
This just happened to be the most boring dinner with anyone. He hadn't said a word but was only eating and glancing at me at short intervals, nothing else. Well, it wasn't like I was expecting us to exchange words. It wasn't a date."Oh, I'm supposed to be nice." He said randomly, sitting up straight. So he remembered now? He needed to stop deceiving himself. He could never be a nice person."I guess you forgot that." I forced a smile."Yes, I did." He chuckled. Oh goodness, he just chuckled? Once again, silence occurred. I hated it as hell, but I wasn't going to start a discussion with him. Heavens knew how much I hated keeping my mouth shut for such a long time. We finished our meal, still dwelling in that silence."We should leave now," I said, realizing we were both done with our meal and I badly needed to get some rest."Yes, but I'd be going on a walk.""A walk?""Yes, a long walk. I need to exercise my legs, not just sit around all day long. You can either tag along or sit in
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 25: Fake News
~ Samantha ~My phone's unremitting ringing drew me out of my wonderful sleep land. I groaned, muttering cuss words to myself before I half-opened my eyes, rolling on the bed to reach for my phone on the nightstand.It still vibrates in my hand, sounding even louder and more frustrating. I fluttered my sleepy eyelids, placing a leg over a pillow and yawned. The caller ID was none other than Lila. Why on Earth was she calling? Did she think it was right to disturb my beautiful sleep that was mostly short. Wearing a frown, I answered the call, placing the phone to my ear. "What the fuck do you want?" I gruffed."Hey there, babe. Chill. You don't have to be so rude.""Whatever. Don't you realize it's still early here?" I hissed, sitting up straight whilst scratching my arm."Early? If I'm not mistaken, it should be 10 am right there. Remember I'm good at math unlike some birdbrain.""Ha-ha, very funny." I replied sarcastically, glancing at the wall clock on the wall opposite my bed. My
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 26: Confrontation
I barged to the living room. Alvin was on the sofa opposite the television. Though the television was turned on to an obviously romantic-comedy, he wasn't watching it but had his attention focused on his laptop, hitting its keys with his fingers aggressively. I stopped right in front of him, standing in akimbo and held my phone up to face him. I was about to call him Mr Robert but I remembered he had said I could call him Alvin. "Alvin, please I need an explanation."He didn't raise his head from the laptop, totally ignoring me."Hello?" I frowned, waving my hand. Still no response."Have you gone online today?!" I barked.My loudness definitely drew his attention as he slowly raised his head to me, wearing the most bored expression I had ever seen anyone wear."So what?" He replied indifferently, returning his gaze to his laptop's screen."So what?" I huffed, unable to believe my ears. "My dignity, public image is at stake here, Mister.""The Internet spreads things a lot. People are
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 27: Got Locked
The moment I raised my head, I almost went blind at the sight of two completely naked bodies; France and Jovi, on the bed, in the middle of a hissing hot sexual session, Jovi squeaked, jerking away from France like an electrocution just occurred, immediately picking her scattered clothes from the floor to shield her breasts from view."I'm sorry," I apologized, opened the door wider and ran out, slamming it shut.I didn't stop running till I stopped by the elevator, panting. I hit the elevator button repeatedly, not being patient enough for it to open slowly. I rushed into it the moment it opened, hitting the button to the 7th floor. Before the doors closed completely, I observed a man running in the direction of the elevator to stop it from closing completely but he wasn't quick enough, they shut before he could stop them.I sighed, raking my fingers through my hair. "Stupid Alvin said they were going to be out now." I frowned."Gosh, my eyes need holy water." I chuckled, cringing as
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 28: Confession
I raised my head from the sofa, glancing at the stupid wall clock hung on the wall, above the door. It's been about 9 or 10 hours but still no one had heard my cry for help, neither had France or Jovi returned. I rose to my feet from the floor, sauntering to the savior in the form of a fridge, taking out an apple. There were fruits and foods I had eaten from when my stomach had tortured me out of hunger. Taking a bite of the apple, I moaned, squeezing my face in frustration. "This is totally crazy, a very stupid hotel, why won't there be an emergency telephone?"I screamed, hoping to pour out my exasperation, but it wasn't working, I was still equally infuriated. I took another bite of the apple, tossing it away, scuttled to the bed and climbed on the neatly laid bed, jumping on it. "Get," I jumped, "me," I jumped again, "out," and again, "of," and again, "HERE!" I screamed, dropping to my knees on the bed, scrunched the duvet in my hands and growled. I swear, I had never felt this
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 29: Rejection
"It's true. I Love You, Samantha Reese." He lowered his head, tilting it to connect our lips for an electrifying,brain-bending kiss. Alvin loved me?! HOLY COWS!The dim lights went off then the bright lights turned on again. He shut his eyes, seeming deep into the kiss but my eyes were bugged out, unable to close on their own accord. My heart beat rate had gone wild. How could Alvin love me?He probably only realized wasn't responding to his kiss so he pulled away, gazing; his eyes read fear as henwatched me, patiently waiting for my answer. I huffed, pulling apart from him. "So you locked me in France's room all day for this?""He locked you in his room? He's so stupid. They ought to take you out with them to distract you, not lock you. I apologize on their behalf." He attempted to hold me but I stepped backwards."So you spread the news on the internet?" I glowered."What? No way! I didn't do that, why'd I do that?" He retorted."Oh gosh," I huffed."Samantha Reese, I need your res
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 30: Unknown
"Hi, guys." I grinned, waving, I just started a video call with Georgina and Lila."Babe," Georgina said boringly."Sam, how are you?" Lila beamed."You called today? What a surprise!" Georgina said, throwing a handful of chips into her mouth."Indeed a surprise. Is there any special occasion going on? Did you wake up to the wrong side of the morning?""No, guys. I called to say 'hi' to you, together." "Dummy," Georgina said for no good reason. "How are you spending time with your boyfriend over there?" She winked."Boyfriend? What Boyfriend?""Your boss, Alvin. You're viral on the internet, baby. Let your followers know I'm your best friend so they can follow me too to check out my cool ass." She smiled smugly.Lila rolled her eyes. "Is it true? Are you dating him now? So soon?""No way!" I furrowed my forehead."Why not? The internet says you are." Georgina drew her eyes in askance, "Are you lying to us?""You don't have to believe everything you see on the internet." Lila frowned.
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 31: Party
"Sam, the party is tonight." Alvin reminded me like I didn't know that already. I guess we were sticking to Sam and no longer 'Miss Mark' now. I stopped myself from glaring at him but I ensured my face didn't read any friendly expression."Aren't you excited for it?""What's so exciting about the stupid party?" I scoffed.He rolled his eyes, walked up to me on the couch, and sat beside me. That was not an action that was comfortable for me."Go to my room, there's a box on the bed. It's for you." He said indifferently, taking the remote control from the table to turn on the television.I wanted to ask questions about what it was but sitting beside him was so discomforting so I instead rose to my feet and sauntered to his room. What could he have gotten me? If I was so curious, I had to check it. Duh, what else was I going to do? Not check?The door wasn't locked so I strolled in and to the bed. There was a big box on the bed, increasing my curiosity. Without lifting it first to take i

~ Samantha Reese ~~ {Flashback} ~"Please get the door, Samantha Reese." Lila requested, rolling her sleeves up. "I'm the pregnant one here, I shouldn't be overworking.""Getting the door isn't overworking. Stop being so lazy." I groaned and reluctantly rose to my feet, sauntering to the door and opening it.I was so surprised to see Faith standing by the door, grinning from ear to ear, holding a small bag. I opened my mouth to speak but she pulled me into a hug. "Gosh, I missed you. I'm so glad you're fine." I smiled, returning the hug.I gently pushed her by her shoulders."I didn't expect to see you here. Please come in."Shutting the door after she walked in, we took our seats on one of the sofas."Mr. Robert asked me to come here. As your maid, I should be at your service, no matter where you are.""Oh, that's great. I missed you too. Doing some things on my own feels like a lot of work now." I admitted and she chuckled."Then it's a great thing I'm here. Is there anything yo
Take Me Back, Love Chapter 71
~ Alvin ~Another frustrating day without Samantha Reese. I had been checking the internet on how to make your angry wife forgive you but it all seemed to be pointless. It was high time I gained the courage to call that stubborn woman I called my wife.I picked up my phone and searched for her name in the contact list. Just one click and the phone was going to be ringing but it felt like the biggest deal in my entire life, it felt like an issue of life and death. I had never been this scared in my life. I succumbed to it and called her. It kept ringing continuously but there was no response.I sighed and dropped the phone on the bed but flinched when I heard, "Hello?"I picked up the phone, staring at the screen like it was a dream."Hello?" Oh my gosh, that voice, I missed it so damn much. I immediately went into a trance after hearing it."It's probably a butt-dial, ignore it." I heard Lila say.I snapped out of my trance and exclaimed, "No! Wait!""Oh, it's real.""What do you wan

~ France ~"Georgina, it's so nice to see you again," I said as Georgina sauntered to take a seat beside me, dropping her clutch on the counter."Yeah, really nice. You probably remember me from Samantha Reese's wedding or something.""Uh..." I scratched the back of my head. That was not the only time we had met. Who could forget Georgina after so many plays we had had together in the past? "Of course not." I chuckled nervously.She smirked. "Great! I was wondering how anyone could ever forget this nasty Georgina after so many times together. So you're simply ignoring me?" She ordered herself a bottle of drink."Georgina Bend, it was long ago, okay? I wasn't ignoring you or anything, it was just supposed to be one-night stands."She laughed out boisterously."One-night stands that happened about a million times?" She rolled her eyes, chugging down a glass of alcohol in one drought."Okay, I agree with that. It has been so long, about 5 or 6 years ago. We were still in college, woman

"Samantha?" I asked again, scanning her from head to toe. Maybe I might've heard the wrong name.They paused, gazing at me."Do you know her?" Dash asked."Of course not. Where on Earth am I supposed to know such a disgusting person?""I'm so surprised to know you decided to go after such a cheap thing. I mean, look at her." She scoffed at me, resting her elbow on Dash's shoulder."She was supposed to be for fun but she was proving so hard to get and I wanted to make her my girlfriend to use her and dump her, baby." He admitted, not bothering about the fact that I was standing right in front of them."Aw, my babe is so nasty." She smirked at him, patting his head proudly."I can't believe you're so terrible. I thank God I didn't fall into your crazy trap, motherfucker!" Oh my, where was this courage coming from?"Why is she being so dramatic?" She asked with her forehead crumpled and wearing a lopsided grin.I stormed out of the house and quickly got into a taxi. Samantha was probably

~ Samantha Reese ~"You still won't let me tell anyone you're here? This torture is killing me. Won't you at least tell Mom or Georgina?"Lila asked, finalizing her makeup."No, I'd let Mom and Georgina know today. Please don't let anyone know yet." I smiled at her. "By the way, you look very gorgeous.""Thank you." She grinned."You're going to work? Aren't you late now?""No, I'm on leave again. I'm going over to my boyfriend's.""Oh... I'd love to see this man you and Georgina is so crazy about.""Stupid Georgina. She keeps blaming me when I've got nothing to do with her sleeping around with men." She rolled her eyes, rising from the vanity chair.I chuckled. "That's Georgina for you. I'll talk to her later today.""Please do. Talk some sense into her head.""I'll try to." I chuckled again. "I'm going to take a stroll for relaxation.""You need it. Call me if there's any emergency, don't work too much, don't destroy the house, don't get too emotional, don't do anything stupid, eat.

~ Alvin ~"You're just returning?""Yes, sir." The stupid driver who had driven Samantha Reese had finally arrived but not with her."And where is Samantha Reese ?""She made me drive for a long time and then asked me to stop the car in the middle of nowhere, no matter how many times I refused. She said no one should look for her there because she was going to go further away.""And why are you just returning?""She said I shouldn't return home until today. I tried to follow her but lost track of her. I promise it isn't my fault. I also have no idea where she is.""Please send me the address of where you dropped her off, I'll send it to the police.""Okay, sir, I'll try my best to recall the place." He nodded then left my sight. I returned to the building and dropped me on a sofa."Won't you at least have something to eat?" Mom asked, her tone was soaked in worry.I simply shook my head, resting my head on the arm of the couch and the back of my palm on my forehead."You have to eat,

"Baby daddy?" It didn't take a second before my breath quickened."Samantha? So this is the crazy redhead that's obsessed with you.""Obsessed with him? I find that harsh but not offensive, it's okay." She nodded."Tell me what you mean by baby daddy?" I frowned, beginning to sweat from what she just said."How dare you come here?" He asked in a very intimidating voice, clenching his jaw."Why not? I don't think a couple of millions of dollars would be able to replace the place of a father in the lives of our children." Though she was speaking to Alvin, she was smirking at me.My legs immediately became wobbly, and I lost my balance but before I could fall, I held her shoulders. "Wh-what.. what do you mean?" My voice cracked at every word, and my hands which had a tight grip on her shoulders began to vibrate."Samantha Reese, let's go," Alvin said, fear could be read in his voice by anyone, even a baby."Don't." I pointed my index finger at him, my eyes burning with so much rage towa

"Uh... I don't know." I chuckled nervously."Why do you sound so nervous?" She narrowed her eyes at me."Mom, it's okay. We can't be certain she's pregnant. And if she is, I'm sure it's my child, right Samantha?" He asked and I nodded."You should do a pregnancy test to confirm if she's pregnant because if she's not then it's probably a serious illness. I'll take my leave.""Wait!" I rose to my feet. "What do you mean by you'll be a grandmother again?" I only heard that. "As far as I know, Alvin is your only child.""Oh, he hasn't told you?" She glanced at him."No, he hasn't told me anything." I held her arms. "What is he supposed to tell me that he hasn't? What's going on?" They shared a glance at each other again then burst into laughter. "Calm down. Alvin isn't my only child. He has a sister.""A dog, Mom.""Whatever." She rolled her eyes. "And she has had a lot of puppies." She clarified and I sighed in relief."I can't believe my baby is having a baby." Alvin wrapped his arms a

~ TWO MONTHS LATER ~Once again, another night, no Alvin. I was more than confused. Why hasn't he returned home after three fucking months? I returned to my room took off my jacket, grabbed a towel, and left for the bathroom, sinking into the bathtub. I felt so sick. Alvin not being around had made me very dizzy with terrible headaches.After a long bath, I wrapped a towel around my body and opened the door. I was shocked to see Alvin standing in front of the door, also holding the door knob."Nah, this is probably a dream." I scoffed, rubbing my eyes but he still stood in front of me."You don't believe I'm here?" He raised an eyebrow.Hearing his voice filled my soul with happiness. I wanted to jump and hug him but the happiness was erased quickly and transformed into anger. I walked past him."Please don't give me this attitude." He held my hand but it made me angrier."Let me be." I sauntered to the wardrobe while he walked behind me."Don't be mad at me. I thought you'd be very h
