41-Table talk

It was the second day Nathan was sleeping over. We sat at the dining table as Rosalie served our dinner.“Yesterday I sent out the design I want, right? The designer is still busy with it. Called him this morning but he said he’s not done with it yet.” Nathan was telling me. “Today is Thursday, Saturday is in like two days. That guy is really starting to slack on me. At first whenever I gave him a design, he would jump all his other clients’ and finish mine first.”Rosalie finished dishing for me. She had made stew and rice. Delicious.I began eating. “Give it time. You only told him yesterday afternoon.”“What about you?” Nathan asked me.“What?”“Your dress? Is it done already?”Oh… I haven’t even thought about that once. But obviously I couldn’t tell Nathan that.“Yeah, I’ll just pick something nice from what I already own.” I told him. “It’s not a big deal.”He laughed in disbelieve. “You kidding right?”I just looked at him.“You want to pick something you’ve already worn and wear

42-No deal

“So, Gen, do you mind introducing your friend?” Dad asked me.“Of cause not.” I turned to Dan. “Everyone, this is Dan. My hacker friend. And Dan, this is my dad-” “Mr. Raphael. Of cause.” Dan said smiling politely. “I truly admire you, sir.”“What do you admire about me?” Dad wasn’t smiling back.“Your hard work.” Dan nodded. “Building an empire this huge is not child’s play. So much must have been invested. Energetically, financially…”Dad nodded. “Yeah, that’s very true. That’s why when Gen told me about you hacking our system and what you found out, it worried me sick.”Dan nodded. “Of cause.”“Anyway.” I said. “Dan this is Steven, our family and company lawyer. This is Francis my dad’s nephew and right-hand man.”Dan nodded.“Does Dan have a surname?” Dad asked.“Dan Forbes.” I quickly said. I didn’t want dad hearing ‘Danlie’ and possibly remembering the familiar name.“Danlie Forbes.” Dan said. What the hell? I shoot him a look. Are you not seeing what I’m trying to do here?Dad

43-Wedding date

"Raphael." Steven said when he got to the door. "I think we need to talk.""Sure." Dad said. "But you'll have to be quick because I have another meeting in half an hour."Both Dan and I watched Steven re-enter the office and go sit in Dan's seat."Please, close the door behind you, Gen." Dad said.Yoké and I exchanged looks."It's all cool." I whispered to him. "He won't tell dad anything. I spoke to him, remember.""You think? Cause I don't think so."Nope. I don't. I actually think that Steven is going to spill everything out to dad. Even the guts. But I had to be positive, right? It wouldn't help if both Dan and I were stressing.I closed dad's door as we stepped out of the office. Francis was standing by the lift waiting for it."I'll see you tomorrow?" I told Dan. "I need to talk to Francis.""I'm taking the lift too, you know? There's no door up here." He said.I looked up at him. "Oh, I thought you would take the stairs.""Oh, wow." He laughed. He was genuinely laughing! "I live

44-Keys

"Oh, you'll really love the dress." The designer, Paul was telling me. Unlike most male designers and stylists, Paul was straight. Straighter than straight. He didn't talk or sound like a girl. He didn't walk or behave like a girl. None of that. Everything of his was just pure masculine. Except the fashion style was exceptional. Better than a guy would dress in any given day. And he always wore bright colours with many patterns."I actually like my dress." Alice told him. "You really gave it your all.""It would have been better if you didn't insist on plain black." Paul told her. I should add, Paul was openly honest. What? I know. He tells you the truth, anywhere and in any situation. He was the biggest critic there could ever be.Sometimes he even criticized his own work. "It made you look a bit emo. Dark little character."Alice just frowned and exchanged looks with Mom. "Where is Francis?" Mom was looking up from her plate, directly at me, across the table.I shrugged. "I didn't s

45-Maroon lipstick

“Quickly fix up her hair she’s supposed to go down now. It’s almost 8.” Mom told the hairdresser. A woman with colourful highlights in her hair. She had purple, pink, maroon, and red.“Yes, just need more pins to keep your hair up then you’re good.” She smiled at me and then continued fumbling with my hair.“We are running out of time.” Mom said. “And did she put on perfume already?”“Not yet.” The stylist said. Another woman, but she was a redhead with a nose ring.“You people are so slow.” Mom said going to grab perfume on the draw. “I hired you instead of our usual because this day is very special, now you’re making me regret it.”“No, that’s not her perfume!” The stylist told me. “That’s Alice’s.”I looked up and saw mom with a purple bottle of perfume with a black grape drawn in the front. “Where is hers then?”“It’s right here.” The stylist took the perfume from the dresser. “I’ll just wait for Kisha to finish with her hair first.”Mom looked at her diamond wristwatch impatiently

46-Game over

I hate him. I hate him. I hate him so much. He just took it too far this time. How could he sleep with Alice? How could he take it that far? How could he do this to me when I felt so bad for sleeping with Nathan even though I did it because I thought I’d never see Yoké again. But him, I’m right here. How could he? And then he still had the audacity to come dance with me after doing such a despicable thing. How has Yoké changed so much and so quickly? This is not him. The Yoké I knew would never lay a finger on another girl. What changed him so much? Maybe I’m the one in the dark. I’m the fool. Sitting around thinking that Yoké and I are playing games. Maybe he really means everything that he’s been telling me. How could I be so stupid? I can’t believe that I’ve been fooling myself this whole time.The worst thing about what he did is that he didn’t even feel bad about it. He came back wanting to dance with me like I wouldn’t find out. He is really evil.I looked up to see my pillow smu

47-A million pieces

When we finished dinner, neither Alice nor Dan came back to the table. I could see that dad was not at all pleased with this, but he didn't say anything. We sat at the table chatting with the guests until everyone finished eating. The housekeepers began clearing the table and bringing dessert.After dessert, which was mixed fruit and some yogurt, mom got everyone's attention with a glass and a spoon."The party has basically ended now, and I thank you all for being here tonight." Mom began. "If you do wish to stick around longer, please do not hesitate to. In fact, many of you know that we have a guesthouse with a couple of bedrooms so those that decide to spend the night should be good."People began getting up and coming to hug us goodbye."Tomorrow is Sunday." Nathan told me, putting an arm around me as everyone left the kitchen."I know." I chuckled."Yeah, what are we going to do?" He said. "Where do you want to go?""You know I'm not extroverted. I prefer staying in.""You sure?"

48-Stuck together

“Oh shoot.” I said, looking down at the kitchen floor but it was too dark to see.“What did you do?” He asked me, looking down too.“I should ask you that.” I said. “What the hell did you grab my hand for?”“Someone’s coming.” He said. “I heard a door open.”He took out his phone from his pocket and torched the floor. We stared at the mess. There was water everywhere and the tiny pieces of glass glimmered in the light.“Damn.” I said.“Dan?” I heard Alice’s voice from a distance.“Oh shoot.” Dan said and then took me by my wrist.“What are you doing?” I whispered.“Of cause I don’t want her to see us together.” He began taking me away. “Careful with the glass.”“Where are you taking me?”“Shh.” He said as he took me next to the fridge.“Dan?” Alice’s voice was now by the kitchen door post. The lights went on, and that’s when I saw that Dan was shirtless.“What?” He whispered when I threw him a look.“Shh.” I said, rolling my eyes at him.We heard Alice’s footsteps enter the kitchen.“W

49-Maliceous kiss

"What's the time?" I asked him after we've been sitting quietly for what felt like forever."Half past two." He said, placing his phone on a box that was next to him. "My battery is almost dead."I didn't respond. I was sitting next to him, on a box, we had both our backs against the wall. We didn't say it, but we understood each other well. We understood that Yoké was just too hurt to back out on what he had said he would do, his plan to marry Alice just to hurt me and I was just too keen on defending myself by hurting him exactly the same way too. I mean what was the use if Yoké didn't want to change his mind? If he had to tell me right now that he would leave Alice and we could get back together, I'd leave Nathan too, without even thinking twice. But he wanted it to be like this. It was all his fault. And I couldn't keep lowering my worth in front of him by begging him all the time. If he wanted it to be this way, then he would get it this way. If he wants us to spend the rest of ou

50-Punishment

Nathan wasn’t in my room. I went down to the TV room, and he wasn’t there too. So I went back to my room, grabbed my phone, and called him.“I knew you’d show.” He said, as soon as he picked up.“Nathan, where are you?”“I didn’t even make a big deal about it because I knew that you’d show. I didn’t even tell your parents that you were not in your room whole night.”“Thank God.” I let out a sigh of relief.“I guess you were with Dan.” He said. “Even Alice couldn’t find him.”“We were not together –”“Come on Gen, you two disappeared at the same time with the same excuse: water in the kitchen. It was pretty obvious. I mean Alice didn’t pick it up because she doesn’t know your history.”“Well, we were not together together, we just got stuck together.” I said.“Oh wow.” Nathan laughed. “Stuck, okay.”“Where are you anyway? Come to the room I’ll explain everything to you.”“I’m not at the mansion anymore. I left. You wanted me to stay in your room like some fool, waiting for you?”“What t
