“I told you every thing was going to work out for the best right?”“That you did, that you did.” He replied, taking a swig from his bottle while I took a swig from my fruit juice. By now, the bottles were almost empty but apparently, Russell had reserves, another bottle of wine and another carton of fruit juice were seated on the round table by the corner and once we exhausted the first one, Russel was quick to open the other.“You really weren’t planning on returning back to the party anytime soon were you? I asked Russell.“Nope.” He replied truthfully. “I was planning to spend the night all alone, drinking wine and staring at the beautiful night sky.”“I mean the sky Is beautiful.” I pointed out. “But come on, there was no was no way you planned to finish two bottles of red all on your own.”“Not really. I was hoping that a young and beautiful woman named Elisa would join me and keep me company while I tried.”“Oh please.”I replied, shoving him playfully and we both laughed.“You

“It’s nice to know that you are alive and well after your drinking escapades yesterday.” I said to him teasingly. “It’s a miracle you even know where your phone is right now. Do you even remember how you got home last night?”“Of course I do.” He replied lightly even though I knew he was lying through his teeth. “I promise you I was not all that drunk. Just a little tipsy is all.”“Oh really?” I asked. “Because the two empty bottles of red wine you left on the balcony last night would beg to differ.”“Damn. Two whole bottles? Was it that much?”“I thought you said you remembered everything that happened last night?”“Okay so maybe my memory of last night is a little bit fuzzy but its really not as bad as you think.”“Oh I think its exactly as bad as i think. I mean if I didn’t know better I would be offended. I mean for a groom to choose a bottle over his wife and no less on their wedding day…so very cruel. And to think we were supposed to be having a steamy wedding night together…”

While everyone else was blissfully clueless about the cetemony that was to be held the nexy day, I already had all the information so it didn't come as much of a shock to me as it did for them. i was just happy that i didn't have to do any office work because in as much as i didn't want to admit it, the pregnancy was really starting to take its toll on my strength and with all the stress from the wedding, i needed more than one day of rest. It was just too bad that Ms. Jenny already had a bunch of ice things to say about my plenty off days, and since i apparently managed to get into get into her good books i wasn't ready to get out of it just yet. The plan was to wait until it was time for my maternity leave. When it was eventually time for the ceremony to begin, i found myself getting anxious to see Russell in his moment of greatness. He had done so much, worked so hard to get to where he was and it was honestly an honor to be a part of it. As he walked across the stage to give hi

Wow, your car is really nice. I didn't even know you had a car thus cool." I said to Jason as we drove home later that evening."I know. I almost never bring it to the office because of the traffic. It would be pointless anyway and i'll only end up being hours late and i'll the have my ass kicked by the terrifying Ms. Jenny.""She really is a scary woman to piss off." i agreed and Jason lauged.On a very serious note though, Jason's car was quite impressive. I didn't knpw much about cars but i at least knew that BMW sports cars were a big deal."You know you would have know what car i drove if ypu didn't leave me hanging all those months ago after your welcome barbeque.""Oh my God, Jason, I alrrady apologizer for tgat and i thought uou forgave me. I promise the whole situation was out of my control. if i could have avoided it, things wouldn't have gone down the way they did that night.""i know, i know. i'm not trying to make you feel guilty. i'm just stating a fact which is that i

“Friends huh?” Russell asked with what I could only assume was an underlying meaning hidden somewhere. He didn’t say anything but he was definitely implying something, and I refused to let Russell come in between me and the most precious friendship I had found ever since I started working at NNT. Jason was a gift from God to me, and I would be damned before I let Russell or anyone else for that matter destroy what we shared simply because he was feeling a little…a little…I don’t even know what he was feeling to be quite honest, but whatever it was, I could only hope that he found a way to fix it before it grew into something that none of us would be able to contain.“Yes ...” replied, choosing to ignore whatever underlying meanings lay hidden behind his words. “In fact, Jason is much more than a friend to me. He is the perfect companion, and so much more.”“Oh really?” Russell asked even though the sound of his voice suggested that he would rather talk about the latest trends in the f

That night I couldn’t sleep. My conversation with Russell had taken quite the unexpected turn as what had started as a fun and happy night had turned into a night filled with so many emotions, most of which weren’t exactly pleasant.When Russell had threatened to expose our marriage to everyone, I called his bluff and threatened to also expose the details of our contract if he tried it. I told him that if the board found out that he had paid me to get married to him, they might have a lot to say about that and I didn’t think he wanted to risk his entire career based on a little jealousy. Of course, he insisted for the millionth time that he wasn’t jealous but, in my head, that was the only logical explanation for the way he was behaving. It didn’t really make sense that he would be jealous especially since I wasn’t really sure how he felt about me yet or even what our relationship was other than the details of our contract and my job at his company, but that kiss we shared had comp

It is a real date? It is not a real date?" Those were the only thoughts that raced through my mind as i plucked leaf after leaf of a branch I had picked up on my way from work.I clearly remembered Russell saying it was a date, but i couldn't tell if he meant we were going in a date luke a friendly or if he meant we were going on a date date, like a romantic candles and flowers kind of date. I really hope It was the latter but that didn't make my choice any easier. It was all so confusing and since i had already run out of leaves to pluck, i had to find a different means to sort out my predicament.This was one of those moments when i actually wished i had many friends. A quick text to the chatroom and there woukd be answers to all my questions already waiting. Unfortunately for me though, all my friends kind of drifted away and with the whole baby in the way fiasco, I wasn't exactly making any efforts to keep them. The friends I had throughout college were the ones who encouraged

“Well Hello to you too. Fancy hearing from you on this fine evening.” Sasha greeted cool and I felt myself start to shiver a little. Sasha had always been the terrifying sibling, especially when she spoke in that tone.“Before you say anything else, I would like you to know that I am really, really sorry and everything that happened was way out of my control but I still felt very guilty that you could not be in attendance of my wedding, which now that I think about it wasn’t much of a wedding anyway, and that is why I couldn’t call you or pick up the phone when you called. I promise it was just because I love you and I was scared and…”“Elisa, breathe.” Sasha said, interrupting me and putting an end to my spiral. “You are rambling.”“I know.” I replied meekly, adding a little pout for effect even though I knew that she couldn’t see me. “I just didn’t want you to hate me.”“You know I could never hate you.” She replied, and the relief that came as a result of that one statement was un
