“Should we get a room and spend the night together?” He said.

Ann was shocked to hear that from him,it was totally unexpected. She turned and looked at him straight in the eye as if she was expecting some sort of explanation from him. He noticed the look on her face and was quick to clear the misunderstanding.

“I didn't mean it that way, I don’t have any ulterior motives behind that sentence okay?” He said and she nodded.

“So what do you mean?” Ann asked

“I noticed you don’t look comfortable in that dress and that was what I said. You can get it dry cleaned here if you decide to stay the night. And that was what I was trying to say,nothing more.” He explained.

“Okay, that’s a good idea. You could have just said it that way instead of directly asking me to spend the night with you in a room.” Ann said.

“Can’t you spend the night with me?” He asked.

“That’s not what I’m trying to say.” Ann replied.

“So you’re saying you can.” He said cunningly.

    He left just like that?,without even a word? I didn’t see this coming.” Ann said looking really pissed. She woke up with a serious hangover,then she could not find the guy she slept with, everything was just too much for her. She could barely remember everything that happened but with the little she could remember at they point,she wasn’t expecting him to jilt her and run away on his own after the sweet and hot night they had. “Could he have said something to me that I still don’t remember? But there’s no way I will not remember such a thing.” Ann said to herself. She was still thinking of what to do when she got a text from her dad….“Good morning my darling. I heard you slept out last night,be back soon. We need to talk. Hope you had fun?.” She dropped her phone on the bed after reading the text,called the receptionist on the telecom to ask for her dress and went ahead to shower and went back home. Back to the present…..“It was a long night. A lots of things happened just in on

    “Let’s make this work Ann.” Martha said ready to do anything to make it work so that Ann can continue smiling. Her friend’s happiness is so important to her. “I’m meeting him on Monday,I don’t have a plan yet but let’s see how things will turn out.” Ann said “Let’s hope for the best.” Martha said. And with that the two friends switched to another topic and enjoyed their weekend. Henry’s house. “Good morning mama B.” Henry said as he hugged their family’s head maid. She practically raised Henry like a mom would because of Henry’s mom's health issues. He is more comfortable with her,he talks to her about everything bothering him. She knows more about Henry than he does. “Good morning Henry,hope you slept well?” Madam B replied as she handed him a cup of coffee. “Yeah,is dad back? I need to give him some updates.” Henry said“He should be back before noon. Are you okay? You look worried. Do you want to talk about it?” Madam B said. “Yes, can you come to my room when you’re done

    “She’s really pretty.” Henry said“Did you feel anything when you met her?” Madam B asked“Not really. Why do you ask?” Henry said“If you truly feel this way about her and if all you remember is this feeling from that night,then you should have felt something when you saw her again.” Madam B said “I don’t know. I felt something when I saw her leaving but I don’t know how to explain it. Probably I felt that way because I didn’t listen to her. I really can’t figure it out.” Henry said. “It’s alright. Let’s get to know who she is first then think of the next step to take.” Madam B said.“Thank you so much mama B. I know I could trust you with this.” Henry said. “It’s alright. Let me get back to work. I’m sure those lads are slacking off already.” Madam B said and left Henry’s room. Few minutes later,he heard another gentle knock on his door. This time it’s definitely not mama B, he thought to himself. “Can I come in?” The woman said from outside the room. “Yeah,come in.” Henry sa

    “I’m sorry for stopping you abruptly but I noticed it’s past lunchtime,do you mind if I take you out for lunch?” Henry said,looking really nervous. “What did you say again?” Ann was surprised at what she just heard.She was feeling sad because she couldn’t find a reason to talk to him privately and sort things out between them. And she didn’t want to ask him out for lunch because of what happened the last time she did.“I’m really sorry for reacting that way,you just caught me off guard.” Ann added “You don’t have to be guarded to understand what I’m saying. Do you want to have lunch with me? And just in case you might not be comfortable with me, I invited our assistants too.” Henry said.“It’s just to appreciate you for coming all the way here. Don’t worry,it’s my treat.” Henry added.“It’s not a big deal. It’s definitely your treat. You asked me out for lunch and not the other way around” Ann said jokingly.“It’s alright,I’m not complaining. So is that a yes?” Henry asked. “Yes,I

    “He cheated on me with her and I caught them in the act. Moreover I’ve never been interested in him, I only agreed for your sake. So let her go ahead and do whatever she wants.” Ann said. “Are you serious right now?” He asked her. “Yes dad, did she tell you something else?” Ann asked“She didn’t really say much because I didn’t even give her the chance to. Why would she say she wants to marry her sister’s man? Does that even make any sense?” Her dad said angrily.“Dad,as long as Ben is okay with getting engaged to her,then let them go ahead with it. Whoever he marries is not my business,the contract we have with his company is what is important right now. So just forget it.” Ann said“Are you sure you’re okay with it?” Her dad asked again “I’m really okay with it, dad. I’m fine with the engagement,just do me a favor please. Can you promise me that you will do it for me?” Ann said in a rather quiet voice.“This one that you want me to promise you, I guess it’s something serious. Tel

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?

    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.

    “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

    “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.

    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.
