"Hello, are you the lady who was supposed to come help me with some work?" She asked politely walking towards me.

Tongue tied, I shook my head and nodded at the same time. Oh Chloe what are you doing?

"Well, let's go." She took my free hand and directed me towards her posh car. I looked back to the astonished gateman and winked. He seemed to get it and a small smile creeped on his lips nodding, like saying, 'I got you.'

Getting on the posh leather seats on the passenger side I felt light headed from all the coziness in the car.

"Velma, I'm sorry I stood you here. My classes were a little prolonged." She quipped.

So the lady who was supposed to be here is called Velma? Good grief! How am I supposed to act now? I questioned myself.

"It's... Okay." I stuttered fiddling with my hands.

Who is she? She had classes? Oh christ lord. Which work is it that am supposed to help her? Do I know how it's done?

I kept asking myself as she drove us to their basement where a parking lot was. Even though her Car's window was tinted black, I still saw everything we passed outside, the beautiful flowers at their porch, the fountain connected with the pool, the gorgeous front yard.

"Ma'am." I acknowledged her as she opened the passenger door for me.

"Please call me Cherry." She chuckled lightly. " You make me feel like am too old for my own age and I might even be your age mate."

Cherry! My enemy's sister! Oh christ Jesus!

She might as well be my enemy! That's what I thought. But she never looked like someone who had bad blood running in her veins. She looked so pure and with genuine intentions. I ogled her as she held the front door to their house open for me.

Did it just leaked sleekness and modernity?

It was an exquisite sight really. Too posh for me.

"Hi maggie!" She greeted a lady who I assumed was the general maid the gate man had told me about.

"Can you please serve my visitor something to eat, I'm going to change. Guide her to my room once she's done." She said hurriedly walking up the stairs and leaving me on the foyer with the so said Maggie.

"Hello dear." She greeted warmly her eyes shining.

"Hello ma'am." I greeted back smiling.

"Oh no, please call me maggie. It's comfortable being called by my first name."

I nodded smiling. " Maggie." I acknowledged her.

" There." She chirped. "What would you like to eat?" She asked still warmly.

I was really famished. I could use some food indeed. "Anything, am okay with anything, I'm not the one to call for shots here."

" You're silly." She laughed. " You can ask for anything you want here. Anything. Nobody will judge you."

" Serve me your favourite."

She walked me to their too big for my liking kitchen with modern equipments and everything else. I sat myself on one of the stools and watched her put food on my plate. She served me with fried chicken, potato soup, rice and pineapple juice.

I muttered a thank you before I launched myself into eating my enemy's food. It sure was yummy and I took large scoops from the plate and in no meantime I was done eating, I chugged the juice down my throat quickly anticipating to see the work awaiting me.

She showed me up to cherry's room which was on the second floor. The room looked like the Princess'. It was babied with everything every girl could dream of.

"You see this huge mess of clothes on my bed, we're going to sort it out and arrange my wardrobe. Some clothes are going to be offered to some charity homes." She told me once Maggie left us. I sighed a relief.

So easy.

We started sorting the clothes out, she could ask me random questions all through and I could answer them while we arranged the clothes.

"Who do you stay with in this huge house?" I dared to ask. My curiosity couldn't be kept at store for that long.

"My big brother of course." She answered enthusiastically padding to her walk in closet to put in some clothes.

"Where is he?" I prompted again.

"At work, he comes home at the evening and leaves early morning." She answered normally.

" Don't you get bored being alone?" I asked.

" Of course, sometimes when he goes on business trips. Like this week." She pouted. " I wish I had a sister, I suddenly wish you were my sister." She smiled shyly. "You look like someone who each and every person will get along with."

" You think so?" I lifted a brow taken back by her admittance.

"I know so." She prompted. "Where do you school?"

"Uhmm... I don't school. I'm already done schooling." I answered her carefully.

" Done? Woooo! Then how old are you?" She looked shocked.

"Twenty?" I answered rather in a question form folding a big hoodie that seemed too big for her.

" That's my boyfriend's. Don't worry, I see you're digesting hard." She smiled. " Caesar doesn't know I have a boyfriend. He'll skin me alive." She whispered widening her eyes.

" Oh." It's all I managed to say shyly. The word boyfriend feels odd to me.

I've never even had friends before, I know nothing close to boyfriend.

"I knew it! We're age mates!" She squealed excitedly. I knew we were before you knew so, dear cherry, I felt like rolling myself but I refrained myself.

How am I going to talk her into letting me stay here? I want to get close to her so that I'll be able to do my spying more efficiently on her so good for nothing brother.

I wondered out loud.

I forced a sulky face and tears swelled up in my eyes when I thought of how my parents were killed. And I started sobbing taking her by surprise.

"Why are you crying Velma?" She asked shocked.

"I'm not Velma Cherry. " I whispered through a sob. " I'm called Chloe and I was looking for a job here earlier when you showed up. I was going to go back home because I was already told that you need no worker, but what happened happened and here I am. I have to go back home in Rochester." I sniffed finally looking at her.

She looked nothing but pure shock. "Who do you leave with?" She asked in a low voice.

"Some good willers who took me in when my parents died. " I answered her.

" Sorry. " A tear slipped out of her eye."I guess we both don't have our parents and that makes us the same."

"I guess so. " I smiled weakly.

" Will you stay with me for tonight?" She asked now I was the one taken by surprise.

" Why? " I squeaked my surprise out.

"I want to know you more. I don't know why I trust you so much. But I think I can help you somewhere. " More tears cascaded down my cheeks.

" But you don't know me Cherry. I'm a nobody." I stated flatly drying my nose.

" I Know you enough to let you stay with me. Don't worry about clothes, we can share mine. "

Exactly what I wanted. I smiled inwardly, turned to her and smiled weakly, " Do I even have a choice?" I asked her and she chuckled taking me into her arms,

" You don't. " She whispered in my ears. "Thank you for showing up at our gate at the right time Chloe."

We pulled away, smiling broadly at each other.

Way to go Chloe. My inner goddess nodded at me lifting her thumbs up.

Way to go!

Hope you enjoy this book readers 😊

Dream like dream dream?Ask me how I got to stay with Cherry in the Banley's mansion for fifteen freaking days and I'll have no clue on how to answer that question. It just happened to be so, we got to be friends with cherry way too faster than for everybody else's liking. Yeah, firstly because I was a complete stranger to her, so I blamed her for trusting so easily.But my question was, our friendship, was it possibly real? I loathed her brother who happened to have stayed at his business trip for an insanely long duration of time thus making me more angrier and impatient. I knew better than to let my cool slip anyway. Life was soft and sweet to be honest. For fifteen days, I lived like any girl or some girls for that matter. I could wake up from my guest bed, the room next to Cherry's, take a slow shower or even enjoy a warm bath in her bathtub when she was at school. Then I will go for breakfast.

She looked at me with hooded amber eyes, sneaked her tongue out and brushed her lower lip lightly before tucking it back in.ďżźWhen she didn't respond. She lifted her hand up and traced it along my jaw to the stubble on my chin. Yet again, I found myself leaning into her soft touch."God you're so beautiful." I inhaled sharply as I watched her run her hand to my cheeks. She was clueless to what she was doing to me."Is it bad to kiss someone who's not your husband?" She asked shocking the daylights out of me."Why?" I asked back."Because we just kissed and you're not my husband or boyfriend for that matter." She dropped her hand and looked down on her fingers."But that doesn't make it wrong because I've no girlfriend or wife, neither do you have a boyfriend or husband.""But I know this is very wrong Caesar."

Like making sweet and sour meatballs and I knew how to stirfry plus, I was no longer wondering of what mesclun was, I was even thinking of inviting Cherry's friends over to show off those new culinary skills. Because my friend Nicole from the same class was well aware of my cooking.Part of serving great food was presentation: like the salad nicoise, it was supposed to appeal to your mouth, nose, eyes and thinking senses. Mrs Reyes taught us that you don't have to be a trained chef to learn the basics of plating, which is the art of presenting food in an attractive way.

It was on a Tuesday a few days after Cherry's graduation which was a success. I felt so much sated and it was an achievement and an accomplishment altogether for me as a brother, seeing my sister grow and graduate among the top in her class with honours.

Mondays were the worst days of the week, okay Monday is the worst day of the week, there.I'd manipulated Caesar's office computer for the past two hours waiting for time to pass by but I was now ragged and jagged and all I wanted to do is nap away if not for Anley who might be getting back from school and get stranded given that Martha and Cherry were not in the house to receive her.I hate this Monday, the voice in my head kept repeating those four letter words. Caesar had dropped me at home around lunch time after my antenatal clinic which went well given the fact that I was now eating a meal that should really be pertinent for three. My tummy was now protruding something that wasn't of sign six weeks ago. It's like I wasn't feeding this miraculous baby and now that I was given the multivitamin gummies and appetite boosters, I was doing it the right way. She really was growing too first.Toda

"Sir we'll call you once all her vitals have stabilized." The man I assumed to be the doctor said."The heck!" I barked startling them. "How is she, why is she asleep?" I was loosing it. My Marvelous Chloe looked like a dead person. I couldn't see her heartbeat. She laid still on the bed as if that would make me keep my cool."She's going to wake up, we sedated her but she'll be okay." She had a huge bump on her forehead which made me curse out loudly."How is she?" I was trying, they should have seen how hard I was trying to keep my cool."She's fine, she had a minor concussion and I think she was in shock when they brought her here. She's almost waking up. The baby is okay too, I'm glad she was rushed here soon enough, with the bleeding, we could have lost them both." The doc

Fuck, I shouldn't have come?!" I can't believe we've been going at it for more than two hours." He started laughing. Oh it wasn't that big of a deal. And I found myself joining him although I was the one to cut myself first,"Seriously though, I'm not sure I can walk." I pouted making him draw me closer to him, kissing my pouted lips."Tonight I'll be home earlier, I'll give your inner thighs a hot deserved massage but one thing that you should know is that, we're going to be having a rerun of what we just had everyday and you're going to get accustomed to it all."

    Caesar's POVMaybe she would’ve done it for me. And maybe that would’ve been hot as hell, but since I wanted to actually get inside her before I went off like a gunshot, I needed to keep touching to a minimum.So that's why I'd ripped all the buttons of my shirt as she watched me, biting her lip knowing what that did to me.Of course, as soon as I got rid of every clothing on my body, she had moved closer, taken a seat on my table, opening her legs wide enough, inviting me as she grabbed my hair and dragged me down, pressing all her soft, lush curves against my body. Her skin was hot and screaming for my touch. Her pussy was wet, soaking her lacy panties ready for me, begging for me as she spread her legs and reached down to grasp my erection. In my ear, she whispered, "You're going to eat me like this is the last time."I just stood up, took a step back, looking at her intently. Taking my sexy vixen in, making her quiver with so much desire under my gaze. Then I moved closer and place

"But you said the past two nights she's been sleeping at her room, why are you still wounded sexually then?"Tracy was blunt and I'd come to like her just as she was and I got used to her being vulgar. So I got so much closer to her than I was to Nicole. I could tell her anything that was going on with me and she could give me a good advice, Nicole would tell me to go to the club with her and drink off my sorrows, comical."He gets home late than usual and I'm always asleep. I think work has been taking a toll on him. I'm just looking forward to the weekend." I smile looking at the garters clamped on my thighs. Tracy forced me to try these lingeries and now I think I'll take them."I think you should pay him a visit at work. Especially today.
