“This is really weird. Leaving the whole of Jacksonville as big as it is to Sebastian? That’s too much.” Henry said.“Am I missing something here? I will find out,”Henry added. Ann’s povShe stepped out of the car with Martha. “It’s been a while. I miss this place so much.” Martha said“We were here three months ago,so why are you talking as if you’ve not been here for so long.” Ann replied“I expect you to miss this place more than I do. Moreover, three months is a very long time. I miss my baby.” Martha said. A pretty little girl was seen running towards them. Ann and Martha saw her and opened their arms expecting a hug from the little girl but she ignored Ann and hugged Martha instead. “My darling, I miss you so much.” Martha said“I miss you too, aunt.” She said in a very cute and tiny voice. “Ella,am I invisible right now? Why are you ignoring me?” Ann said. “I don't want to talk to you Ann.” Ella replied “Really? And I brought so many gifts for you,maybe I should just giv
Ann got to work early and prepared for the meeting with Linda. She wants to make him comfortable in her office just like he did. Henry arrived about an hour later,they exchanged greetings and he also admired the office.“You worked really hard to make your office look very nice.” Henry said when he saw the interior decoration of her office. “It’s my work, I can’t have anything less.” Ann replied.“Yeah, I almost forgot. I guess it’s time to change my office interior. Can I count on you for that?” Henry said“This is the only thing I know how to do best. I will be glad to do that sir.” Ann said smiling. “Please have a sit.” She added.“Thank you ma’am.” Henry said as he sat down.“Coffee or tea?” Ann asked “Coffe please.” Henry replied. Linda brought the coffee to them and the meeting started . “Can I ask you to please supervise the materials used for the construction by yourself? I’m not doubting you or anything but you know leaving these things to our workers might sometimes not
“WHAT!!!!” Ann screamed.“Keep your voice down. You don’t have to scream like that.” Henry replied.“Why won’t I? That’s a lot of money.” Ann said“I don’t want anyone to disturb our lunch.” Henry replied“There’s nothing to disturb,you just went overboard.” Ann said“Are you upset because of it? I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It’s just that this place is always crowded and you might meet people you know.” Henry said“People might see me with you? Is that a problem?” Ann asked“I’m okay with being seen with you, I really don’t mind. I just don’t want you to feel uncomfortable with me.” Henry said“Do I look uncomfortable?” Ann asked calmly “No, but you might if you run into someone you know.” Henry said“Are you saying this for my sake or for your sake?” Ann asked “I don’t understand what you are saying?” Henry said “It looks like you’re the one who is scared of running into someone. Are you married?” Ann asked “Hell No !. I’m not married. Why would you even say that?” Hen
It was a bright Sunday morning, soft music could be heard from the hotel,workers going on with their duties and sounds of cars coming in and out of the hotel. Ann was not ready to wake up yet as she used the duvet to cover her face from the rays of sunlight. She slept late and couldn’t be bothered about anything this morning since she doesn’t have anything important planned for the day. The rest of the team went out for breakfast and when Henry saw Linda without her,he waited thinking she might be in her way. Linda and Bryan noticed that Henry was not going with them.“What are you waiting for sir? Let’s go.” Bryan said“She’s not joining us for breakfast. She said she wants to relax for a while. I think she slept late.” Linda said knowing Henry was waiting for Ann.“Ohhh,alright no problem.” Henry replied and they went to the restaurant to eat. After the breakfast,Bryan asked Henry for permission to go sightseeing later with Linda. And since they don’t have anything important to do
“Are you sure? You’re not going to change your mind later?” Henry said“I’m about to change my mind now. I already said yes,so why are you still pestering me?” Ann said“It’s fine,I’m sorry. So 5pm? Is that okay by you?” Henry asked “Yes. So can you leave my room now? Or are you planning till 5pm?” Ann said“If you want me to.” Henry said and laughed when he saw Ann’s facial expression.“That was a joke,I’m leaving okay? I will cal you when it’s time.” Henry said“It better be. You can just text me and I will meet you at the lobby.” Ann said“Whatever you want.” Henry said and left. Ann closed the door after Henry left for his room then she called Martha and told her what happened.“You accepted his offer already so what are you still confused about?” Martha said “That was my mistake. I shouldn’t have said yes.” Ann replied“What’s wrong with going out for a drink with him? It’s an opportunity for you guys to talk and get to know each other better.” Martha said“I know,I’m just sca
They got to the restaurant,Henry got down first to open the car door for her and she also stepped out. They entered the restaurant and a waiter led them to a table that had been earlier reserved by Henry. “Please have a seat.” Henry said as he pulled out a chair for her .“Thank you.” Ann said. She waited for him to sit down also before talking.“I hope you didn’t rent the entire restaurant today?” Ann asked “Are you teasing me or you really want to know?” Henry replied“It’s just a harmless question.” Ann replied“I understand,No I didn’t. As you can see,we’re not the only ones here today.” Henry said in his defense.“I can see that. I thought we’re just having a drink.” Ann said “A drink on an empty stomach? Have you eaten anything else other than the breakfast I brought you?” Henry asked“No,I was busy with work.” Ann replied“That’s why we are eating first. You can’t drink on an empty stomach. So just eat and we can drink afterwards.” Henry said“Alright,I’m actually hungry .”
“Are you serious right now?” Henry said “You asked me for a secret and there it is.” Ann said “This is rather shocking.” Henry replied“How is it shocking? I’m just like every normal lady that gets dumped after their partner gets tired of them.” Ann said“I doubt that’s what it is in your case. No man in his right mind will get tired of a lady like you.” Henry said“Why do you think so? It’s barely a month since we met,do you think you know me already?” Ann said“A week is enough to know everything about someone,and with the few times we’ve spent together, I can boldly say that you’re a fun,loving,caring and intelligent lady. So if anyone wants to dump someone,then it should be you not the other way around.” Henry said“I really appreciate the compliments,I’m even blushing right now. Thank you for thinking so highly of me but I still think it’s too early for you to conclude. You might find out something new about me that will offend you completely.” Ann said“You’re welcome but trus
“Yeah,so now that you know,do I have permission?” Henry said moving closer to her while gently helping her to relax her back on the couch with one of his hands on her waist.He looked straight into her eyes waiting for her reply while using his hands and eyes to confuse her judgment. He placed his hands on her waistline,the clothes she was putting on revealed her back as it was just tied in the middle. He caressed her back gently with one hand and the other hand placed on her thighs. He made sure his hands were only placed on her bare body without any clothes disturbing his touch and kept staring at her intently. Ann’s povAnn was finding it hard to control herself now. His hands were on her bare waist, he was touching her gently yet seductively. He wanted to use that to his advantage,confusing her thinking with his touch. Ann was able to get what he’s doing,she could see the lust behind his innocent face and she knew she needed to stop it but her body and her mind were working agai
“He has a female best friend???” Martha and Ann chorused. Somehow they were shocked to hear that. Ann thought Henry doesn’t have any other friends other than Ethan because he has never talked about any one else. She didn’t bother to ask him because she also doesn’t have anyone else other than Martha. And now she’s finding out that he has another friend and not just any friend,a female best friend and that threw her off her feet.“Why are you guys so shocked to hear that? Is it a crime to have a female best friend?” Henry asked “Yes it is.” Martha said “I don't understand, why is that?” Henry asked “You have a girlfriend,so she should be your best friend too. Having another female best friend asides her can make her feel insecure.” Martha said “I still don’t understand how having a female best friend can make her feel insecure. She’s just a friend.” Henry said “Just like you said earlier as a joke although I’m not sure, how do you think she will feel if she visits you and she meet
“Wait,don’t tell me Ethan is the guy she told me about?” Ann said looking surprised.“What did she tell you about him?” Henry said “Nothing much. Just that they’ve been going out everyday ever since they met. So I definitely know about him.” Ann said “Well,he told me about a lady but I don’t know her name and I’ve never seen her before. Moreover you also didn’t introduce your friend to me.” Henry said “I wanted to but she's busy with the shoot. Well,you’re meeting her today.” Ann said “Yeah,let’s go in.” Henry said They walked in just when they were concluding the shoot. Martha saw her and walked towards her,same with Henry. “How come you guys are here together? Do you have to go everywhere with your girlfriend?” Ethan said and hugged Ann. “How have you been?” Ann asked him. “I’m okay.” Ethan replied “Do you guys know each other?” Martha asked, confused about what’s going on. “Ohh,I’m sorry. Let me do the introduction,(she grabbed Henry’s hand) this is Henry,my boyfriend. A
“This lady in question is a model. I met her on set today.” Ethan said.“Really? So you’re going back on your words now?” Henry said “For her,yes. She’s worth doing that for.” Ethan replied“You met her today. Are you sure it’s safe for you to drool over her like this? You don’t even know her that well.” Henry said out of concern for his friend. “We went out for a drink and we talked about so many things. She’s not one of those ladies that go out with so many friends. She said she has just one best friend and she’s also a general manager in her father’s company. Imagine a young lady like that with two careers and she’s doing well with it.” Ethan said “My girlfriend is also a career woman. So don’t brag in front of me. She’s not even your girlfriend yet.” Henry said “Very soon. You know I don’t fail when it comes to ladies.” Ethan said “Yeah, I trust you on that. When are you going to introduce her to me?” Henry asked “So fast? Did you introduce your girlfriend to me as soon as y
“You couldn’t say no to him but you didn’t think twice when you sent me a text to cancel our plans? You sly.” Ann said “Why are you being difficult? Just think of it as an emergency.” Marta said “It’s fine. I enjoyed myself too.” Ann said “That’s true. Why are you just coming back?” Martha said “Think of it as an emergency too.” Ann said smiling.“You went out with Henry?” Martha asked “Yes.” Ann replied “Are you guys really dating now?” Martha asked “Well,yes. We settled our differences and he asked me to be his girlfriend. No,he asked me to be his woman.” Ann said proudly. Martha screamed excitedly. “I’m so happy for you.” Martha said “And,he apologized for not recognizing me when we met. He actually lost his memory of that night and the little he remembered was useless. He couldn’t find anything to trace me.” Ann said. She briefed Martha on everything that happened. The date,the settings of the place,how he apologized and lastly how he asked her to be his woman.“And what
Monday morning at Henry’s office.Henry called Bryan.“Come to my office now.” Henry said and dropped the telecom immediately,not waiting for his reply. “Hello sir.” Bryan said when he got to Henry’s office. “Hey Bryan. I need you to do something for me.” Henry said “Alright sir,what is it?” Bryan replied. “Annabel has a younger sister,do you know that?” Henry asked “Yes sir. I found out about it when I did some background investigation on her.” Bryan replied “Okay. So I want you to find out everything about her sister,and also her relationship with Annabel. I just want to know everything about her, even her favorite restaurant should be included.” Henry said “Okay sir.” Bryan replied “That’s not all. She got engaged last weekend, I want you to find out everything,I repeat everything about that guy. Don’t leave out any information. Do you understand?” Henry said “Yes sir.” Bryan replied “I want this report on my table before Friday. You can leave now.” Henry said. “Alright,
He moved closer to her a little bit and drew her to him till there was no space between them. He took one of his hands and placed it on her chin rubbing it softly,he brought his face closer to hers and kissed her again. The kiss was more intense this time. They both forgot every other thing and focused on each other,Ann wrapped her hands around his neck and as they kissed so deeply. Henry moved his hands gently from her waist down to her hips, he caressed her hips moving his hands on the unclothed parts of her thighs. He slipped his hand gently under her gown touching her bare body causing Ann to suddenly break from the kiss holding his hand. He expected her to stop him like the last time or get angry but he was wrong. Ann stared into his eyes and kissed him back while releasing his hand,she parted her legs a little bit giving him the full access to touch her. Henry was excited to see that and he was quick to make use of the opportunity. He brought his other hand down to her second
“Will you be my woman?” Henry said. Ann opened her mouth in surprise. She might have acted like she didn’t care in front of Martha but she actually wished he would ask her out which he just did but she never expected him to say it in such a sweet and romantic way. It took her a while before she could say anything.“What! I’m sorry about that, I wasn’t yelling at you. I just…… I don’t know.” Ann said, stammering.“I know I took you by surprise and I’m sorry about that. I just couldn’t keep it to myself anymore.” Henry said “No,you don’t have to apologize,you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just being overly dramatic right now. I guess I’ve been single for too long,I’m not used to this.” Ann said “I’m not putting pressure on you. You don’t have to force yourself to give me a reply right now, you can take your time. I just want you to know how I feel about you.” Henry said “You’re not pressuring me. Let me start by thanking you for coming out clean about that night. I know how hard it m
“It’s about what actually happened three years ago.” Henry said and Ann looked so surprised. She wondered what he was going to talk about. “What about it?” Ann said “Before I proceed, I want to apologize to you for the way I reacted when you tried to talk about it the first time we met. I didn’t expect to see someone who knows about that night in such a place.”Henry said “You’ve apologized to me already, why are you bringing it up again?” Ann said “It seems you’re not listening to me. The thing is, I regained my memory of that night.” Henry said“What memory are you talking about? Can you please talk in a way that I will understand instead of going through corners?” Ann said “Okay. I lost my memory of that night. I couldn’t remember anything when I woke up the next morning ,not even how I got there. I was going to ask you about it but I had an emergency. I received a call from home that my mom passed away that morning so I had to leave immediately. The duvet was covering your f
“I will doll you up so pretty that he will be so mesmerized when he sees you.” Martha said “I hope so too. I want to impress him but I don’t want to do too much.” Ann said “Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” Martha said “Let’s just take a nap for about an hour or two. I’m really exhausted.” Ann said Martha agreed and they took a nap for about two hours. By the time they woke up,it was about two hours to the time she was supposed to meet Henry. She got up immediately and went into the bathroom to take her bath. She woke Martha up after she finished bathing for her to help her dress up. Martha started with her make up,it was a light make-up just as Ann wanted it. She styled her hair in a ponytail with three partings by the left side of the hair. Ann wore her dress and a pair of earrings to fit. She brought out pencil heels and a bag to match. By the time they finished their dressing,Henry’s driver was already at Martha’s gate. Martha escorted Ann to the door.“Why do I feel so n
