After getting the shopping list done; Candy helped in taking in the bags; she promised to come back tomorrow, so has to get everything set, and ready for the party; I shake my head as I walk her to the cab already waiting at the front; Candy get in, she waved me and ask the driver to take her home… I came back to the apartment; I still have mom's credit card; and I thought it wise to give it back to her; I saw her in the room; she is busy arranging her bedroom, when I walked in; she turns and meets me a little at her door; then said; "Baby, you're back; how was the shopping, I hope you've gotten everything you need for the party?" She walk to her wardrobe and began to take down her clothes from the hanger.... "Yes mom; everything is set; I came to return your credit card to you,"I said; and I walk further to her table; and kept her credit card on top of it… Mom looks at it; she is a little bit confused; later, she turns and ask me why I have return her credit card; I did not quite
Since there wasn't any eggs; I thought about having a quick meal; I grab the cereal from the fridge; and I walk back with it, holding a bowl; and after that; I decide to go get the milk from the store in the evenings.I walk inside the store; I had some loose change on me; and it was enough to get the milk; I paid for it and went outside as I stood by the road waiting for a cab; while I stood; something tell me to turn and as I did; I saw a young lady walking to her car; and behind her; some men were following her.I couldn't do nothing; I instantly rush to the lady, and when the men saw me running after her; I thought they wouldn't mind; but I got extra lucky as police car drives into the store parking lot; and that made them to leave the lady open her car and she saw me standing in front; she held a bag tightly. "May I help you?"She said; she did not even know what almost happened to her; those boy's would have robbed her of all her money; and then run away."No; I'm sorry" I said
Gena pov Wait?.He walks out with his shirt laying on his back. I sat at the corridor of my apartment and watched him talk with his girlfriend, who by the way, was already hell-bent on leaving.Yes, Go...go...I begged her, within.I wanted Alyssa to leave Elisha. He was too good for her and he deserved better, more like deserved me..Elijah and I live opposite from each other.And today I have my whole day spent on watching his angry girlfriend leave."Gena"Mom called."Yes, mom," I answered, running in to meet her at the kitchen counter.She turned and looks at me."Please go over to our neighbor's house and return his mail. It got mixed with ours".She tells.I shook my head, collected the mail and left to Drake's apartment.It seems Alyssa had already left when I got there.I knocked on Elijah front door, standing at his porch, while he rushed down to open his door."Gena?".He says but when he saw me, the hopeful look on his face, vanished."Oh, why are you here?".He walks
Ashley met Elijah seated with me the second she walked in.Her face changed as she angrily left with her minions hitting behind her back.Drake saw me looking elsewhere and asked."Everything okay,?". He looks too."Yes,". I turned facing him with a smile .Immediately Drake gets a phone call.He sets his phone up and The second he picks it up, he left, leaving me at the table alone.Thereafter , as I walked to get a cab home.I crossed over and when a car comes runnSo, after school hours, I walked down the street heading to the bus station, a car drove past and I didn't know Drake was the owner, simply because my mind wasn't paying attention.I tried getting to the other side and he revised almost knocking me off with his car. "What da?". My handbag fell to the floor, in shock. I drop down to get it up, and on my way up to meet the person driving, Drake walked out to meet me."Hey, I'm sorry if I startled you". Apologized"It's okay?" I accepted not because he was the owner of t
He frowned and said, "you done?"I copied the same look but nicked a shy one and answered, "yes I am""Okay then, so where were we"He takes his hands and slowly caressed my face, he moved his hand and rubbed my lips."Ahh"I became unsteady as he moved his eyes and escorts his hand straight to my thighs. "Yes"Elijah knew how to make a lady succumb to his charms, and from a scale from one to ten, how sure I'm I this isn't a dream?."Gena?" He called, "I want to make love to you" he addedElijah manifests his intentions by gradually pulling me back. I fell my head on my pillow and he climbed gazing into my eyes."Beautiful? He says.I laid there locking our eyes together, he placed his hand on my lips and slowly caressed it.I moaned. He rolls his hands down and whiskered my head up to his lip."Kiss me". He says, grinning from ears to ears.He falls his head down and our lips meet, I gripped the pillows with my hands, enjoying the kisses of a man, who's not only my next-door neighb
For the next few hours, I had no control over myself, Drake made sure his signature was signed on every part of my body.After that, we both dozed and fell asleep.The next morning, I woke up to find Drake had left, when did he leave?.Mom walks into my room and saw how distracted I was. Didn't I lock the door?. "Good morning baby, hope you slept well," she asked me."Yes mom, good morning, hope you slept well too" I reciprocated.She nods and walks to my cupboard, I noticed my window was opened, and with Mom's distracted I rushed and slammed it close."What's that?* She turns her head around."Nothing, let's go downstairs," I said and helped her carry the bowl of dirty clothes inside my cupboard.I placed it inside the washing machine and walked out to the dining room table seating. Mom comes out of the kitchen and placed a bowl of water in front, she goes back in and I turned seeing Drake rolling down the stairs."What?" I exclaimed.What's he still doing here, I got up from th
Wait, it's unbelievable to think I would be chosen, after all, I wasn't the only one who wanted to spend the whole day with my lecturer and next-door neighbor.I smiled and trust me, that didn't make anything better, Mara gets all angry and Walked out of the hall, I'm sure she'd plan my funeral since I won spending the entire day with Drake.A minute went by, I was seated when Elijah called me, I answered and he asked me to come over to the theatre.I sneaked through the back door and went to meet him.The doors were slightly opened as I entered, I searched while whispering his name.I got up to the podium. I rode a little more when a hand dragged me backstage.I met everywhere lit up with decorations.Elijah strips his jacket off and hung it across my neck."Welcome to the first stage of a day out with Elijah," he uttered outThe scene wasn't just a mare student and lecture day out but more of a romantic dinner and everything was just like In the movies."Elijah, what's all this, wha
I dragged my bag and walked out of the hall, I stood at the side walk hoping to get a taxi home.Mara sighted me from afar and as usual wanted to do something evil, I backed her and oblivious to what she wanted to do, the sound of something cracking in to two drew my attention back.."You!"I met Elijah, he covered his identity with a hood and grabbed me away from Mara's evil plot.He packed his car a few blocks away from School and while walking to it, I turned to him and said."Why are you here, thought you may have gone home, what happened?". Elijah nodded, "nothing, I knew Mr free man wasn't coming and so thought of surprising you".Suprise?. Yes it was thoughtful of him but why is he being so nice to me, not as if I'm complaining but I need to know the reason behind his thoughtful gesture."Tell me something, why are you being nice to me?". I interogated."Nice is an understatement, you should say why I'm I attracted to you, that I can answer", he played my question upside dow
Alyssa comped her feet on the ground, she bumped into me and without saying the magic words, I was nudged away, "jeez!! What's her problem" I said to myself as I watched her leaveAlyssa walked out and saw me there, She shoots a smile at me, and I no a fake smile when I see one, "Gena Are you okay?" She asked, waiting for my response."I am fine! Why do you say so?" I asked suspiciously about her concerns about me, thus, she kept the exact look and said, "nothing but I saw you looking at someone, who if I may ask?"I juggled my head and answered her question, "no one in particular! I was only lost in thought" I said minus the fact I just saw her supposed fortunate daughter-in-law ambling out of the room, pissed."Oh okay, have a great night dear". She walks back into her room, and after a few headcount , I left as well. The next morning, I got up from bed, and breakfast was already fixed on the table for me, "who did this?" I gazed on surprised when Sadie walked in, holding two glas
The following I strolled into Elena's room after spending a night with Gena, Elena veers and took notice of me, "hello sir! Finally you come to see me!! Please come in" she says with the sweetest tone. My feet veered close and I said, "hello!! How are you ?, Elena's eyes deems and she said, "I am not fine!! You forgot to see me," she frowns and rooms an off look, not quite long, Gena walks in with the doctor, she sees me with her daughter and shoots me an odd look, stylishly pulls me away to the side."What are you doing here?" Gena asked as we faked smiled in front of the doctor, attempting not to lead Elena on. "What do you mean by that? I am here to see my daughter? What exactly do you want me to say" I answered maintaining the same look on. Mariah falls her eyes and pushed me out of the room, "leave Drake" she ordered and paid close attention to Elena who tries to pay heed to our conversation."Please!! Listen to me" I hoped to make her understand yet she angrily gets into the
Now reading as Elijah POVAfter getting to know the truth, of Gena daughter, I withdrew home and walked into my room without altering a single word to my mom who took notice of my presence in the living room.I was so mad about the whole dilemma going on, I dismissed the presence of my family downstairs and banged the door to my room.Abruptly after a while, Abdul strolls over and tells me that Jake was in the living room waiting for me, it's either he wishes to die by my hands, Because he not only betrayed me by taking the woman of my dreams, they both had their first seed together. Out of the rage, I still feel, I rushed down and saw the angered look on his, Jake walks further, and before altering a single word, he jabbed me on my stomach, weakening me to the floor.Harris rushed over as well as my mom who attends to my aid, "what is wrong with you? Are you mad?" Mom says to him yet he vents out in a raised tone, "no, I am not mad but your son is".I mailed cards of curious gaze to
"Hmm, your mom seems like a strong woman, what about your father?" Sir Elijah asked, fiddling with my response."My father is fine but he traveled, hopefully, he comes back and celebrate my birthday with me," I told an untruth.The whole day ran by the speed of light, I returned home after back-breaking work in the office and I need to get a good night's sleep.I strolled in and took notice of grandpa holding a glass of mom's mojo latte in his hand."Good evening grandpa, Good evening mom". I drowsed my way into my room and dozed off the second I fell on the bed.After a while, mom walks in, she caught me sleeping soundly, and covered me up with a blanket. "Good night my love and tomorrow will be another stage in your life" her sweetened voice spanked me deep to sleep, I was so exhausted to the point if a gun was shot, I wouldn't even know.There was a calmness in the atmosphere, the breeze walked through the window and danced around me, I felt like a kid being caressed by a strange
Afterward)For the past two hours, the whole house was filled with so many guests who not only came for the office but we're also business associates to Mr. Elijah.They were strange and had off kind of hair style, a lady bumped into me and grabbed my hands in a most creepy manner, I almost felt scared, if not for Drake's intervention.One by one, bit by bit, everyone left to their various destinations, I waited for a cab at the entrance of the Mansion, when a car drove and stopped in front of me. I pulled my head downwards and took notice that it was Mr. Elijah car, he shoots me a weak smile and asked me to get in, thus without reluctance I pushed the doors to his car open and got in maintaining a shy smile."Thank you so much, sir?" I said and watched him drive off.(A few hours later, his car stopped at the front of my home, he veers hence the second he tries to tie his eye to the huge house placed in front, a call came through, he turns away to answer the call.He was so engross
I returned to my office, I walked in and saw Liza seated waiting for my return.She veers when she noticed my presence behind, "good morning Gena how are you?". I know there was a reason behind her being nice to me, I walked over, dropped the file I was holding, and veered my eyes to her, "I am fine, but tell me why are you here? And please tell me the truth". I muttered back, smurfing a weak smile on her face. She answers back to me, "I came to tell you that, from now henceforth, please watch your back! Because I'll make sure, I humiliate you, after taking my job from me, bye for now". (She walks away from the office, and banged the door behind) ...."Urgh! witch" I veered my eyes away in irritation.(10:45)I was informed that Elijah uncle and aunt were at the conference room waiting for me.I walked out of the office and veered in wearing a smile, "good morning uncle, good morning aunt!" I greeted wearing a weak smile."Good morning" Mrs. Aziz Ansari let out, wearing a warm smi
Elijah later returned his eyes to the woman, he was getting married to! I saw the way they looked lovingly at each other. My heart almost jumped out of my chest, no matter how hard I try, it still pains me to see the man I almost spent my life with, now gets married to someone else, I got so emotional to a point that, I walked out of the wedding arena, holding a handkerchief in my hand. I buffed out a deep breath, getting my emotions in check when I felt a presence behind me. I swirled to see mara, who ran a startled look on her face, "why are here?. I took in a deep breath and explained leaving no information behind, Mara poked her head inside the wedding arena and saw Drake reading his vow, he then returns it to me, hurling out a question, "are you okay?" Mara knows how much I loved Elijah and today seeing the same person whom I have loved, get married to another person, pained me a lot. I had nothing to say but reacted by pulling her for a warm hug. A cloud of relief co
It's been five years since Elijah kicked me out of his life, his house, and his heart, luckily God sent an angel in form of a past enemy, Mara was her name, she not only helped me in dark times but as always been with me and my daughter, (Elena ), I wasn't able to tell her who his real father was! So she calls us both mom's "Good morning baby girl!" I woke her up with a warm kiss, she veers and shoots me a weak smile, reciprocating with hers too. "Good morning mom!".After Elijah and I, walked apart, no day passes by I don't see her father in her, she was a replica of him, (smiles)."Get ready for school and come down for breakfast?" I said rather she weaves out a question to me, "Mom! Where is mom mara, she didn't come in with you to wake me this morning?". Mara walks in the second she asked of her, wearing an apron around his waist. "Good morning my princess! Am sorry, I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed".I veered back to see the huge smile on her face, indeed she
I went towards the men's room, i called out and accidentally bumped into an elderly man that gave me a deep stare.It was more like an angry gaze, but I don't knew yet.After he left, I looked twice before walking into the men's room.To much suprise, Elijah wasn''t in.Where is he?.I left and on my outside, I found him talking to a lady in a secluded spot.He didn't see me and that gave the opportunity to sneak up on him."Elijah, what's going on?'He gets tensed at my presence, the lady too seemed to be in the same position, it was as if I met them doing something wrong.."Gena, why are you here?".Elijah interogated."I came to look for you" I asked."Why, I was just coming to meet you"He starmmered."Really, then who's the lady next to you".I added.I turned and waited for him to explain, the Lady gets a step closer and said, "my name is Alyssa, and I'm Elijah step sister"Wait, whaaat?.Its unbelievable to think he has a family after the death of his father and brother.Elija
