REGGIE AND CHRIS- Back in the game?

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Back in the game? Reggie was super stressed.The annual Ghanaian Fashion Week was just two weeks away, and she was piled with so much work.At thirty five, the supermodel knew she didn’t have that much time left in the active fashion industry. It was the main reason why she was venturing into the clothes designing aspect.Ever since she was little, the woman had known what she had wanted to be, and she had been lucky to have understanding, doting parents who had moved heaven and earth to make sure that her dreams had become a reality.They had moved abroad and actively encouraged her to pursue arts in preschool, middle and high school.And then when she didn’t get called by her dream fashion school, they had paid an absurd amount of money to ensure that she got in. The money had been refunded because there had been some initial mistake that had been resolved later on, but Reggie had been s

REGGIE AND CHRIS- The escape

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- The escape Reggie stared at Chris in total confusion.“What the hell are you talking about? What child?”Chris studied her, looking for any signs of acting or… something, but he realised that she was genuinely confused. “You didn’t know?” He asked her.She shook her head.“Well, you’re pregnant.” He confirmed. “Now, I didn’t think it was my place so I haven’t called William yet, that’s assuming it’s even his in the first place…”Reggie wasn’t listening to a single thing the man was saying, her brain was furiously doing calculations and making deductions.She had missed her period, but she didn’t really think much of it.She had blamed her stress and crazy resting and eating patterns for the skip. Plus it usually happened, so it wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. Fu

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Things are going to change

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Things are going to changeHonestly speaking, when Chris opened the door and found her missing, and checked the bathroom and washroom and didn’t find her there, he knew right there and then that she had left.But he still wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.And so he had gone out and searched the hospital halls, checked other wards… asked the nurses even. But no one had seen her.He had returned back to her ward and checked the drawers after his search had yielded no response, and that was when he had found that her clothes and car keys gone.Chris grinned.For some reason he thought this would have been an easy task. He had forgotten for a moment just how annoying the supermodel was, he really should have known that she wasn’t just going to sit back and do his bidding just because he had said so.Oh, but he had a plan.She was definitely going to move in with him,

REGGIE AND CHRIS- The Proposition

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- The PropositionReggie finished the whole carton of apple fruit juice and the packet of biscuits, much to her pleasant surprise. She hadn’t eaten that well in days, and she honestly felt so much better already.Chris on the other hand was very pleased.He had been covert in his observations, but seeing the annoying vixen eat and knowing that she was doing it to sustain herself and his unborn child was doing something to his insides.He was feeling so high, he wanted to climb to the highest mountain to shout that he was going to be a father.He still couldn’t believe it!It truly felt too good to be true.But at this point, he was done trying to make sense of the mechanisms of fate. He was going to do his best to make sure that the cards he had been dealt with worked in his favor.He heard Reggie clear her throat shyly, the action snapping him out of his thoughts.“I-I didn&rsq

REGGIE AND CHRIS- The ruined breakfast

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- The ruined breakfastReggie had never been this bored in her life!It had already been a week since she agreed to her baby daddy’s crazy proposition and she could swear that she was already starting to regret the decision.You see, Reggie had always felt that the housewife kind of life was never meant for her.And the past week had proved her completely right!But at least things would have been a bit more bearable if she was seeing said baby daddy often. The man mostly kept to himself, meeting her in the dining room for breakfast and lunch and supper only, and then shutting himself in his study for the rest of the day.He was with her in the house, but it for sure didn’t feel like it to the supermodel.Plus, without her phone or laptop, Reggie had only television to keep her company through the lonely times, and she wasn’t much of a TV person so you can just imagine how lonely she

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Thinking things, seeing things

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Thinking things, seeing thingsFor the first time since she got here, Chris spent the entire day with her!Well, it wasn’t exactly the entire day since it wasn’t even two o’clock yet.What Reggie meant was that even after they had had breakfast, the handsome hunk still hung around the living room like some ghost… instead of locking himself in his study like he usually did, even though there was some kind of tension in the air after his outburst about liking how she enjoyed his meals.That tension had put a bit of a strain on the flow of their conversations, so they weren’t really talking. Plus, Reggie had her phone back so she was much more focused on letting the few people she had in her life know that she hadn’t vanished off the face of the earth.She was pretty sure that her mother had kept most of them posted, but just a text wasn’t bad, and so that was exactly what she was d

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Deidre

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- DeidreReggie tried to keep her cool as she watched Deidre alight from his rickety car.If someone ever told her that she’d be this excited to hear and see the car that had annoyed her pretty much over the past two years, Reggie would have called the person a serious liar and probably would have had them charged for treason, or maybe worse… like cast into the dungeons.But here she was, truly fawning over it, and barely being able to do something about it.“So you dump all the work on me and take off on some Cinderella adventure, leaving me to deal with the real world, huh?” Deidre started dramatically as soon as he stepped out of the car. “See? I had always known you were a bitch.”Reggie laughed and wrapped her arms around her assistant in a hug. “Oh, Deidre… what a dramatic way to tell me you have missed me.” She teased. “You know, you could have just said the words

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Beautiful start, ugly end

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Beautiful start, ugly endChris had always thought that Deidre was a woman!So he hadn’t even bothered to meet her after allowing her access into his house.You can imagine his surprise therefore when he suddenly heard purely masculine laughter wafting into his study. He had been surprised and curious, and so he had decided to go and take a look, hiding his intentions under the guise of wanting to know what Reggie wanted to have for lunch.There sat Deidre, a complete man all right, but with an interesting twist.Chris slowly felt his anxiety ebb somewhat as he made his way to the kitchen to get started on lunch.Deidre was no competition?The revelation that he had been worried that Reggie might have another love interest after William really unsettled the man though.What exactly did it mean?He honestly didn’t care. Really, he didn’t.Liar.

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Bleeding

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- BleedingTwo whole months.Two whole months since the incident, and things were just as tensious as before.So much so that Chris was already so full of regret.If someone had told him that his short outburst would have launched such a devastating aftermath, he probably would have called them a liar, but things were actually that bad.Reggie did not talk to him.Like at all.She didn’t eat his foods, choosing instead to live off fruits and vegetables, and other stuff that didn’t require much any complex skill.The tension had been so unbearable that Chris had gotten a housemaid to come live with them. He was the one who had ruined their budding relationship,She didn’t have to suffer for it?Fortunately, Reggie had hit it off with the maid, Janet… so at least Chris didn’t have to worry about that aspect of their life anymore. He had someon

REGGIE AND CHRIS- New Beginnings

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE/GladysQuarshie

REGGIE AND CHRIS- New Beginnings “So you’re trying to tell me that our child is perfectly fine?” Chris asked in complete confusion. “Yes, Mr. Ayettey…” The doctor assured him with a wide grin. “But, I thought bleeding was a sign of a miscarriage,” Reggie interrupted, equally confused. “It is, but that is not always the case, Mrs. Ayettey—” “Oh, uh… we’re not married.” She corrected, a light blush coating her cheeks… one that had Chris grinning like an awestruck idiot. “My apologies, then. Anyway, as I was saying… bleeding isn’t always a sign of a miscarriage. It can be sign of implantation of the embryo in the uterus, like yours was… there are other reasons for bleeding during pregnancy, but I wouldn’t want to bore you to death with all of that.” He finished. “But I thought implantation and everything that had to do with that occurred in the first trimester?” Reggie asked after a moment’s thought. “Yes, great question.”
