The business dinner was holding at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Toronto, and it was a forty-five minutes drive. Finally getting to the venue, Nelson got down after his body guard opened the door for him, while the other body guard Ethan held open the door for Amelia, who walked over to Nelson and they walked hand in hand into the hall.“Ready?” Nelson asked Amelia.“Yes I am” She replied.“Remember, you’re not just my assistant, you’re my woman, because you’d meet Eva in there and a couple of other ladies whom I have gone on dates with, but don’t feel bad or jealous, just be yourself” Nelson said as he led her into the hall.Seated in the hall was over two hundred business men and women. Nelson and Amelia were seated on a table for two in front at the right side of the hall.“Good evening everyone, welcome to the end of the first quarter of the year business dinner. I hope you all mingle, get to finalize new deals and look forward to making moee profits by the end of the second quarter o
“Considering the fact that it’s already late, why not follow me home and tomorrow we go to work together?” Nelson said.“No, there’s no need for that, I can just get a taxi to take me home” Amelia replied.“ Come on Amelia, it’s late, so let’s just go home together. You don’t have to worry about clothes, I have something at home that would fit” Nelson tried to convince her.“ For real, you don’t have to sir. I’d be fine” Amie rejected again. Looking into her eyes and taking her hands in his, he kept a straight face and said“Please Amelia, please stay with me tonight.” After some thought she finally agreed.“Alright then, I will stay the night with you but not in the same room”‘Yes, not in the same room. I agree” Nelson said happily.The drive to the house was spent with Nelson showing Amelia interesting placed that he went to as a child while Amelia giggled happily. Finally getting to the house they all got out of the car and Nelson took Amelia into the guest room after giving her c
“It’s been five months since she started working at your company, and you still don’t know if you wanna be with her?” Anne asked her best friend over a table of coffee, as she had called him earlier when he texted her that Amelia was starting to get close to a male colleague at the company.“I’m taking my time to reflect Anne” Nelson replied.“It’s been a whole five months and you think she’ll just wait for you to come get her? She’s a woman for crying out loud. A beautiful one at that and you think other guys are not going to be gushing over her?” Anne said to him.“Come on, she’s meant to know that I have feelings for her” He whined.“Let me ask you this, what exactly do you feel for this girl ? Is it love or lust because to me, this thing is looking like lust” Said Anne.“I love this girl. I really do but I’m not ready for a commitment at this point. It’s crazy but I don’t want to commit but I don’t want to lose her either. What do I do Anne?” Nelson asked.“It’s simple, choose bet
It was already twenty minutes to eight o’clock and Nelson had not come to get Amelia who had finished dressing up since twenty minutes past seven, there after going into the sitting room to sit and wait. At exactly 7;49, the door bell rang and Amelia rushed to open the door thinking it was her boss.“Finally, you’re he……, what are you doing here Christian?” Amie asked in shock.“Hi beautiful. Long time no see baby. I’ve come to get you, I’m sure you got the memo from your younger brothers” Christian said.“ You need to leave now” Amie said pushing christian on his chest. Walking towards her and smirking, he said“Come on baby, is that a way to welcome your boyfriend? I see you’re dressed, it’s like you knew I was coming. I like that” Christian said, taking her into his arms and forcfully locking his lips with hers.“Get……away….from……me…..Christian” Amie managed to say, trying so hard to push him away but all efforts were proving abortive until everything came to a stand still when som
While they ate, they both only passed smiles to each other, looking so happy to be in the company of each other on a very cool night. After they were done eating, Nelson stood up and asked Amelia to dance with him.“Can I have this dance my lady?”“Yes you can, but be warned I’m not much of a dancer” she replied, placing her hand in his and followed him to the middle of room.“Well, I’m not much of a dancer too but I’d still love to dance with you” He replied and took his left hands to hold her by her waist while his right hand was holding her back and her hands were placed around his neck.“I have something to tell you Amelia” Nelson said while they danced to soft music.“I’m listening” She replied.“I know things between us hasn’t been good. And for the past five months you were expecting something serious fro me, but I want you to know that it’s not like I don’t know what I feel for you, it’s just that I did not trust myself enough to be responsible enough to keep you by my side or
Nelson could not sleep all through the night. He wished the dinner date didn’t turn out to be a disaster. Initially, he had planned not only to confess his feelings but to also ask Amelia to be his woman officially, but looks like fate was determined to make his love life a little fuzzy before giving him a clear path to trend upon. Amidst all of these thoughts, he turned to face the bed side clock on his bed side table to check the time and saw that it was already six am in the morning, so he got out of his bed and walked into his bathroom to take his bath and prepare for work. As at six-forty, he was ready and set to go to work, so he climbed down the stairs and dragged himself to the door before he heard his mum call out to him.“Hey son, why are you going to work this early? Won’t you wait to have breakfast?”“Oh hey mum, didn’t see you there. I’m in no mood to have breakfast this morning so I’d rather just go to work” He replied.“Why? What’s going on?” She asked, noticing the ey
Siting in a scattered and dirty room, Christian was siting on the floor holding a half smoked cigarette in his hand looking very angry. Ever since he got back to town, he has been hiding in that room. Apparently, he came back to either get Amelia or get revenge for what he has been through ever since Amelia filed a restraining order against him and his one year in prison.“Who does she think she is to ruin my life and think she can go scoot free?” He blurted out angrily.“after taking everything from me, she feels I’ll just let go of her and act like nothing happened?” He continued.“I’m back to take what belongs to me. And this time, it is either she gets back together with me or I destroy everything she holds dear in her life and take down those who try to stand in my way” He concluded.Ever since he got out of prison a year ago it’s been very hard for him to go back to his job or even find another job. He’s been miserable and even his family had deserted him because of his mental i
After dropping her of at her place, Nelson drove home feeling very happy at not just the fact that he just had the best night of his life in a while but because finally he’s been able to stand up to his fears and get over the heart break that has hindered him from getting into a real committed relationship with any woman. He got in and took a hot shower before going to sleep, having nothing but the thoughts of Amelia on his mind. Getting up very early in the morning, Nelson decided to go to the gym before preparing for work. He spent forty minutes in the gym and when he began to feel a strain in his arm after carrying the heaviest weight trying to level up his arm muscles, he decided to go take a shower and prepare for work. At exactly seven fifteen, Nelson was all dressed up and ready to go to the office.“Let’s go” He said to Mr Rosse.“Got it boss” Mr Rosse replied.*****************************************************”Ring, ring, ring” Christian’s phone buzzed beside him,
