Massie's POV
"Hello,is Helena in?" The guy asked and I nodded then immediately I recognized the face,it was Davis,he is Helena's friend back in town. I can't believe I would ever get to see Davis again,the guy who my heart has always ached for. yes I am in love with him,I actually have been in love with him since I was a teen but he never really looked in my direction. Now I believe this was destined to happen, Davis coming back to me so I can get to profess my undying love for him now. Gazing at him,my mind flashed back to when I had first met Davis approximately nine years ago.

You just want her to cook all your favourites!""No that's not it," I lied."You really missed her cooking..""Not a bit... Just do as I told you Nanny, after all it's your job to look after my needs""Whatever... Liar!" Nanny Rita said and left chortling.
Helena's POVAt the CafeI was done making the dough and I washed my hands. I was drying it with my apron as I headed out of the kitchen. I sighted Rae and two others seated round a table and I headed towards them. "Rae come...""Don't you think he's handsome Helly..""Who?" I asked puzzled."My idol.." Rae said as she picked the magazine which all of them were reading and pointed to the guy in the magazine cover. "He's damn cute right?""Huh.. Not bad... Who's he.."
Helena's POV"The cart owners!...where are you?!"I said and two old men rushed to me. "So how does the cart and the goods she damaged cost?""$20 to get another cart and $35 for the goods..""So making it a total of $55 but take an extra $5 for the inconveniences," I handed over $60 to the man and he thanked me and left."Don't show off with someone else's money you low class savage dog," she yelled and I smirked."So yours is...""$65 for the cart and goods...""But take $70" I said and handed over $70 to the man and he thanked me and left. I threw the purse i
Helena's POV I rushed down to the kitchen and brought out all the ingredients to prepare the meals. It seems like all the ingredients were made available before my arrival. It seems strange though but I cared less about that now. "I just have to start with the food preparations." I tied up my hair and started with the dough making. Three hours later, I was done with the meal preparation. I wiped my hands with the kitchen towel and headed upstairs to Charles' room. "Hey jerk! The food is ready!" I said as I walked into the room and found Charles staring at the locket in his hands. "Hey. That's mine!"
Charles' POVOn Monday afternoon, I was heading to my office after coming back from the café where I had coffee in order to see Helena."Someone is waiting for you inside Sir, " my personal secretary said."Who is that..""Got no idea Sir," she said and I went into my office and saw a familiar guy standing and looking out through the full glass wall."Who the hell are you?" I asked and he turned around."Oh.. Sam!" I exclaimed as I pulled him to a tight hug. "You finally came back to your momma's home..""Yea.. I had to," Sam said. "I was bored with all those Switzerl
Charles's POVI went back into the cafe after waiting in my car for over two hours and was directed to the back of the cafe to see Helena. I met her there leaning on the wall and staring at the sky,her eyes were watery. I stood next to her, gazing up at the sky too."Why are you here sulking Helena,?""Get lost..you always seem to bring an end to my happy life..""Is it because I exposed Davis..?""Not just that,I knew you did it to purposely hurt me. you want to see that stupid silly wretch break down before you and say :'you are right Charles,am a fool' Right?!?!""no,"I said
Charles' POVI left the café and stopped at where I parked my car. I can't believe her. She thinks I'm a stalker. "Aargh!" I yelled as I kicked my car tyre in rage."Why take out your anger on this poor stressed out tyre?" Davis said heading towards me and I sneered."You know if it was damaged, you wouldn't have been able to come here." he slipped his hands into his pockets and stared at me."What do you want?" I asked. "And why are you always hovering around Helena...?""Are you asking me that..? You don't know? OK, I will tell you," he said and touched his left ear. "I.. Love... Helena.. And that's why I had to co
Charles's POV It's been over a week since I last saw Helena after that night and I couldn't get over her neither did I have the guts to come see her at the cafe. The challenge Davis threw at me was still a hard thing to do because I had no idea whatsoever of how to do it especially when Helena sees me as a bad being. I was at the kitchen trying to make a burger for myself. I really didn't know how to make it and due to that I made a big mess in the kitchen. I scattered utensils on the floor and was about to pour a cup of flour into the hot oil to make something out if it which I can't name when I heard my name being hollered from the living room. The voice sounds like Helena's but I couldn't be sure for I know she wouldn't have come to my house. I hear footsteps advancing and I stood still, staring at the door until a figure showed up.
Helena's POV A month later, Davis and Massie got married. After a week,I and Charles went to see them off at the airport. The were going to Paris for their honeymoon. That was so sweet of them. "Have a good time Massie," I said and pulled her into a hug. "Take good care of Davis..." "Really! You should say that to her. She's going to pester me throughout our st
Helena's POV Few days after Massie had returned from Adelphi, she rushed into the house and gave me a tight hug."It finally happened Helena... Davis and I have started dating... Davis and I have started dating... We went to our first date today...""Wow... Oh my gawd! You never told me something was already popping up.""I never knew... Today he came to my pharmacy and said we should give our love a try... He said he liked me and we went on our first date today. Tomorrow we will go on a
Helena's POVCharles has been acting strange towards me. He was always moody because each time we saw, I always brought up his mom matters. If I tell him to reconcile he would get mad at me and leave. I really didn't see any success in my plan but I was happy because things were going well with Davis and Massie. Massie had changed big time. She wasn't the shy Massie I knew. She had confessed her feeling to Davis one day when they went out and that cut Davis off guard. He turned her down but she knew he was hiding
Helena's POV"When I arrived, I found out that my beloved John was dead",she continued after a brief silence." I knew Charles wouldn't want to see me and... I realised that he was in love with you. I have been following him for the past three weeks and I realised that you both shared a great bond... I knew that you would be the only one to unite my son and I... So I'm asking you," she paused and held my hand. "Please follow me to see my son. I have lost my husband and daughter and I don't want to loose the only one I have..""No need to ask," I said and wiped away her tears. "You have suffered a lot to save your family... I
Helena's POVThings were going smoothly for Charles and I. I had already gotten a job as a part-time cook in a café opposite Massie's pharmacy which was great for both of us. We spent much time with each other. Sometimes she comes to have coffee in order to chitchat with me and other times I do go to her pharmacy when she am less busy and so is she. I was preparing to leave the café one certain day when Massie called me."Hello,Helly...""What's up Massie? Are you hom
Charles' POVI woke up the next morning and stretched my body. What happened last night flashed my mind and I sighed. I must have gotten Helena upset by yelling at her. I guess she has left. I was really famished and I went downstairs. I went to the dining room and stared wide-eyed at the different types of dishes on the table. What's going on now?"Tada!" Helena shouted behind me and I turned around and glanced at the jug of milk in her hand."Good morning sleeping head," she teased as she dropped the jug on the table."This...?""I ha
Charles' POVI could feel that Helena was staring at me as I was driving. I glanced at her and she quickly looked away and I smirked."I'm sorry," she said with a sullen expression. "I didn't care about you today...""Aarrgh!" I yelled as I halted and turned to face her."You did that on purpose right...?""You were annoying ... And I wanted to make today special for Davis. I'm sorry for turning down your request for us to go on a picnic. I already had today planned," she pouted and I giggled ."What...?""You're ju
Davis's POVI glanced at Helena who walked up to use,along side Massie with two large tray of nice foods."Here we go," Helena said as she placed her tray on the table together with Massie."Macaroni and cheese with vegetables for my beloved vegetarian Massie," she said and placed the bowl in front of Massie who already sat down. "Beef and carrot stew with rice for you," she said placing a plate in front of me. "Baked penne with cheese and vegetables for you too," she said and placed another bowl in front of me. "And Hungarian chicken soup with Mexican meatballs," she said and placed another bowl and
Helena's POV Charles walked towards us and stared at Davis sternly."It's improper you know... You think I will stand by and watch you go out with my girl?""Hey jerk...""Hush baby doll.. you didn't tell me you were going on a date with him. You refused to go out on a picnic with me for him?" He grizzled."He's my best friend and I was just going to give him today as a belated birthday gift... Don't get the wrong ideas...""Are you bo
