Chapter 7Miriam's povIt was already evening and Nathan still wasn't back, I hadn't left the room as I didn't want to get into another fight with Alicia.I decided to begin my preparation for the date. I went for a short black pencil skirt that had a slit at the left side, the slit wasn't big though and a white floral lace crop top, I had curled the tips of my gair so i devidec to let it down, i applied an eyeliner to bring out my eyes, then I put on a black high heels to complete the look, I completed my look with a red glossy lipstick, I gave myself a once over as I stared then did a full turn to the mirror. I must say I was impressed by my look.I took a pic as I sent it to Steph "how do I look" I texted them smiled waiting for her response I grabbed my my black purse set to go. Josh had already texted the address of the diner to me'I would say you are out to kill' Steph texted back with an heart EmojiI put my phone into my bag as I stepped out of the room"And she's out for bus
CHAPTER 8 Miriam's Pov “Oh really?” I asked. “Babe honestly I am sick and tired of Alicia meddling into our relationship, since she came here we have been fighting” I stated turning to Nathan. “I am only interested in your relationship because you are toying with my brother and he’s too blind to see it” she said.“Alicia stop it” Nathan thundered“ I choose to be in a relationship with her because I love her so you have to respect that” he said. “You only choose to be in a relationship with her because she only portray her deceptive side, you don’t even know her, you don’t even care to know about the real her, The real MIRIAM!” Alicia yelled, if she was a cartoon character, you would see the smoke coming out of her head. “And what other side do I have?” I asked calmly, too calmly if you ask me.“The one that was about to fuck another guy today” she said.“It’s clear that you have nothing to say” I responded. I was a very skilled liar, lying is more of a natural thing or should I sa
CHAPTER 9MIRIAM’S POVI stared at Nathan with a wide-eye, I didn’t know if I should talk to him first or not. If I choose to talk to him, what would I say? “what are you learning?” He asked, well I guess he decided to save me from going through my options.“Em, I was on the phone with Steph” I answered ignoring his question.“I know, but what is it you are learning from her?” He asked.“Erm, it’s just lady stuff Nathan, why?” I asked. He sighed and continued staring at me but then he walked past me into the bathroom. I went to bed, I was exhausted already, I knew I would fall asleep within seconds when I lay on the bed.*********I woke up the next morning and saw Nathan coming in with some food, then he placed the food on a bed tray.“Good morning my love” he said as he kissed me, I was surprised, we went to bed angry at each other and now a change of heart from him.
