Jen was already home by the time Terrence and I arrived as her car was parked inside the compound. Terrence carried the bag of groceries as I held onto the bouquet that he had requested for my mother.She too had a love for flowers, and her soft spot for Terrence had been created by his frequent bouquets. We walked into the house together, and I was happy to have met him today as he made me shelve all the worries that Lucas created in my head.Dad was sitting with Jen in the living room when we got in. I walked to his side and pecked his bald forehead, happy to see him better. He greeted Terrence with the same respect he usually accorded him, welcoming him to sit with him. Jen rose up from the seat, a questioning look on her face as she followed me into the kitchen.“Uhm- what’s up with you and Terrence? Dating again?” she asked as she helped me unload the groceries from the bag.“Can’t exes be friends?” I spoke in a hushed tone, afraid of my words being heard. I had not told my paren

“So, the assistant, huh? Never thought she was your type.” Vivian spoke as she sauntered inside Lucas’s mansion. Jacque was helping Lucas unload his luggage from the car into his room, leaving the two Instagram love birds bickering loudly at each other at the entryway.“Vivian, I do not have time for this. And even if I did, I certainly do not want to do this with you!” Lucas spat out as he walked past her, leaving her at the door as he walked inside.Vivian let out a devilish laugh as she followed him, her eerie voice taking over the air in the mansion. “But you do have time to fuck around with everyone during your free time, huh? Did you for a minute think about the effect your horniness would have on me? Did you, Lucas? I am talking to you for hell’s sake!”No one had seen it coming, but a few of the servants had imagined the slap that fell on Vivian’s face when Lucas turned to her. The force of Lucas’s backhand sent her sprawling on the floor, the echo of its thunderous sound wall

I woke up ready to drive Rita to the airport for her flight to Knightsbridge. She was going for her meeting with Vivian, hoping to finally get the job her heart desired. Jenny dragged her suitcases to the car as Rita burned incense in her house, wafting the air in different corners of her house as a goodbye ritual to all her belongings.I got into the driver’s seat as Jen settled in the back, hoping to have some time to go through her notes for her final exam. Her plans were however shunned as Rita tuned the radio to play loud hits on the way to the airport, screaming loudly enough to wake the entire street at barely eight o’clock on a Sunday. The volume of the radio was turned lower as we approached the port.“I want to say, I love you guys so much! And Jen,” Rita began, turning to the back seat where Jen sat, sulking, “I know you will pass your exams because you are a freaking genius. And, I promise to be back in time to see you in your wedding dress. Not only because I will be so

It had been months since I last heard from Charlotte, and I had chosen to drown myself in work to let go of any thoughts of her. Vivian had moved out of the mansion after our fight, and I had not heard a word from her either since then. I figured that the space was great to create some boundaries between us in order to make our relationship healthier, hence, I had no regrets.Luce had taken a break from work after our staycation in Johannesburg to nurse her ailing heart from the break-up she had experienced. I did not want to bear the burden of it as I too was a victim of the tattle online, but I still felt sorry for her.It ached to see her eyes red every time she walked into the office, or feel ignored every time I spoke to her absent-minded figure. The break was therefore the best thing for her, and a part of me did not think I would ever see her again.“You’re keeping warm, right son?” Aunt May inquired, her eyes squinting. She had FaceTimed me to ensure I had my coat on as it was

“I do miss him,” I said, licking the mint chocolate chip ice cream off the top of my lip. I was chilling in my house for the weekend, preparing to leave later in the evening to visit my parents. We shared Sunday dinner together, talking about anything and everything. Our recent family talks revolved around Jenny’s wedding, and it was exhilarating to think of her as a bride.“Has he reached out since then?” Rita asked. We were on Skype, catching up on each other’s lives as we did every month. Rita had gotten the chance to join Britain’s best fashion designers board, and she was to stay in Knightsbridge until their first project was done. I lived in Britain through her stories, which were not as fun as she had hoped since she was drowning in work most of the time.“Mm-mmh!” I shook my head, letting the ice cream melt in my mouth before swallowing. Rita was inquiring about Terrence who had left Atlanta to go back to Britain. He was on a search for his biological parents, and as much as i

“When do you think you and Lucas will make things right?” Aunt May asked, her voice stern and final as she spoke to Charlotte who was bending over her garden of daphne. She looked up for a brief moment as if tuning her ears to Aunt May’s words before she avoided her gaze again.“Hmm, I don’t know. I don’t think about it.”“Darling, you can’t keep hurting yourself just because of your pride.” Charlotte looked at Aunt May, her face furrowing in fake hurt as if the words falling on her ears were new and painful for her. “It will only leave you with regret once you let go of him again. And I do not wish to see you sad again for another ten years, my sweet girl.”“Oh, Aunt May!” Charlotte cried out, closing the distance between her and Aunt May who was pruning her vegetables in the left corner of her garden. Winter had left most of her garden pale as only the daphne bloomed, coloring the right corner of her garden as the rest of it only had green plants to show.“Listen, child. The only re

I dashed into the house, swinging the door behind me as I walked over to where her body lay. My gaze seemed to miss everyone else in the room, only landing on her face. It was hard to tell how cold her skin felt as she still looked as radiant as she always did.She was covered from neck to toe in her colorful blanket, which she knitted with so much grace as if she was preparing to hold onto it as she took her last breath.“She asked me to come, and I was late. If only I had come earlier as she begged me to, she would not have died alone.” I cursed out, tears leaving my eyes as my heart swelled with anger and regret. I was speaking to no one in particular, my gaze remaining glued on my grandmother’s body.My knees felt weak, pushing me to the floor as my face fell on the couch next to her arm. I cried loudly, asking Aunt May to forgive me for being late. I knew she was deaf to my apologies, but all I wished for at the moment was for her to raise her cane and whoop me for my stubbornnes
