In the heart of Purple City stood the famous coffee shop known as 'coffee cafe.' One of the busiest coffee joints in the city.It was the same coffee shop Fiona had exited years ago when Charles accidentally hit her with his car.Coincidentally, Chris and Albert had gone to the same coffee shop to tackle an issue involving Fiona and Charles. The revelation made at the Parker house got the two friends wondering and after they left the Parker house, they fixed a meeting with David at the coffee cafe.Chris and Albert were seated near a window where they could easily see what was happening outside of the coffee shop.While the two waited on the arrival of David over a cup of coffee, Albert kept looking out the window to see if David was in sight as he had informed them minutes ago that he was almost there."Relax Albert. I'm sure he will be here soon. Just stop looking out the window and drink your coffee. Your behaviour is kinda suspicious." Chris said."Suspicious? What do you mean?"
Jean had spotted Tracy in the crowd and so she rushed down to welcome her."Tracy, I'm so glad you could make it," Jean said and kissed her on both cheeks.Tracy was dressed in a beautiful yellow dress that was plain but had some rose petal designs embroidered in it. She was in the company of Louisa and Mrs Briggs who had equally dressed for the occasion. "That's a beautiful dress you have on." Jean tried to compliment Tracy who looked uneasy with all that was happening around her. "Thank you," Tracy responded in a weak tone. June, who had also seen Tracy talking to her sister became suspicious and thought to go and say hello."Tracy, what are you doing here?" June asked."Come on June, isn't it obvious? She is here for the shoot." Jean interrupted her sister."Your sister is right. She called and begged me to come. I know it is foolish of me to be here considering our history together. Everyone knows that Jean here does not like me. So when she called me, I was taken aback and wo
Charles and Fiona shook the whole of Purple City. The news of their secret wedding ceremony came as a shock not only to the family but to the media.Until the 'supposed photo shoot' that turned out to be a real wedding reception, the media did not know he was divorced from Tracy.Charles' father, Edward Parker, loved the idea of a talked-about wedding. So when his son was getting married to Tracy, he made sure that the biggest media houses were present to telecast the ceremony to viewers. But after the marriage failed. Charles, for some strange reason, was able to keep it away from the media. The media only found out he separated from Tracy on the day of his wedding reception with Fiona.Meanwhile, back in Cealpaa, Tracy was covered with a huge green towel after taking off her wet dress. And her hair was also wrapped in a green towel.She sat on the floor of her bedroom. Her two legs were tightly closed and they made a triangle shape with the base of the ground. Her hands were wra
It was a weekend and the moment for keeping fit had come. Along the opposite ends of the streets of Purple City were a few people who knew what it meant to keep fit and maintain their bodies in good shape.Charles had been inconsistent with his jog. And for a moment he was discouraged and wanted to return home and abort his plans of running a few hours to burn some calories.But the sight of some adults and children on the road was all the motivation he needed to rescind his decision. A few times that he had been on the road, he went with his pet dogs Becks and Juu. However, he didn't feel like walking them so he left them behind. Charles ran a few miles and could feel the impact of the jog. His body was dripping with sweat and his shirt was already soaked in sweat. His heart was pounding fast and just when he thought to take a break and cool off for a few minutes before continuing, he heard a male voice shout his name from a distance. "Charles. Charles. Charles." The voice kept
"I had an idea yesterday, but it was ruined because of you," Fiona said in an accusing voice and caressed the chest of her husband who was lying on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned. "Oh wow, what did I do to ruin your idea? And what idea could that be if I may ask?" Charles responded and put his hand on the lap of his wife who was seated on the bed."Well, after your time out jogging yesterday, I thought of exploring this house with you. You know your father never allowed me entry on countless occasions, but now that we are legally married, and I live here now, I thought this would be the perfect time to get to know the four corners of this huge mansion." She revealed. "But you suddenly left for your friend's house and on your return, you were mad and virtually said nothing to me till this morning," she added."Aww, I'm sorry honey. Please forgive me," he apologized and kissed her on the thigh. "Why were you so mad last night? What happened at your friend's end?" She queried."Oh,
The early morning breezy air on the bedroom balcony was to die for. And everywhere Fiona turned, it caressed her skin and pushed her an inch to sleep.But sleep was the last thing that could take her away because a revelation Charles made the previous day during their house tour got her thinking. She covered herself in her nightgown with her arms folded. And then kept tapping her feet as her eyes moved in circles feasting on the beautiful aerial view of the city that was yet to be fully active.Suddenly, she slowly got up and made her way to the bedroom and then exited to the living room downstairs while her husband was still sleeping. "Fiona!" Charles said as she jumped and her heart skipped a beat. "Gosh, you scared me," she said.The squeaky noise from the bedroom door woke Charles up, so Immediately she left the room, he also got out of bed and followed her."I am sorry about that. But why are you here? Shouldn't you be in bed by now?" He queried and turned to the wall clock i
It was midday and the sun was playing tricks on the inhabitants of Purple City. One moment it would come out in its full glory and brighten up the city. And just before anyone could marvel at its brightness, it would go away and make it seem as though it was dusk.But the tricks of the sun could not influence Charles and Fiona.Earlier, Fiona had suggested they move into Charles' bedroom he once shared with Tracy. And upon sober reflection, her husband thought she had a point and agreed to move back into his former bedroom.But Fiona would want that to happen on her terms, so she suggested a few changes be made in the bedroom before they moved in."Careful with that," Fiona said, instructing Theophilus and David as the two men held on to the edges of a king-size mattress and slowly moved from the ground floor to the upper floor where the bedroom was. "Honey, do you think any of this is necessary? Why can't we just move in and use the old bed? I slept in it once and it was comfortab
There was somber calmness at the Woodpine public cemetery. The gentle breeze in the atmosphere rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees thereby creating a soft echoing sound that reflected the emotions in the air. Tracy's eyes were puffy red from so much crying. And while she stood by the weathered tombstones of her late parents, the tears still kept flowing down her face.She reached for the locket of her necklace that contained photos of her late parents and screamed. But her voice disappeared into the distance. "Mummy. Daddy. I know this visit is unusual because for the last couple of years, I have been coming here on my birthday with my new found family to bring you some flowers. But that won't be happening anymore," she said sobbing.Over the years, she visited the graveside with Charles and Mr Parker to bring some flowers to her late parents. "Your daughter needs you," she said in a weak voice as her hands began to shake. Her late parents had been buried side by side b
