101 Happy Moments

Becca. I stood quietly by, watching and listening. “We miss you so much, Cindy aunt.” This from Erica who could not stop trying to get into her favourite aunt’s lap. “I miss you so much also, honey. And I am sorry for keeping away, I won’t do that again, I promise.” She cried solemnly, obviously realising how much she missed the kids also. “But you were sick, Cindy aunty, so it was not your fault.” My everyday empathic son reminded her softly and I smiled. Obviously, Cindy already explained to them why she had been absent. “Yes, that is true, my Prince Charming, I had been sick, so I could not help it.” Cindy accepted softly, allowing herself to stop feeling some guilt for seemingly abandoning them. “But now, you are back.” Erica reminded softly with a little dance and I joined Cindy to chuckle softly even though they still were not aware of my watchful presence. “Back with more love and goodies for my favourite persons.” She gave a little scream of excitement before bending ov

102 Feminist

Becca.And as a true feminist when it comes to some issues, Cindy is the type that will never settle for less or allow you trample on other’s feelings so you can feel good.The last thing she wanted to do was stay in a toxic environment with an arrogant female boss who did not know how to appreciate the efforts of her staff even though they kept doing better and surpassing targets every month but in consideration for others, she kept enduring the woman's bullshit.Though I did not tell her, I must confess that I salute her courage and perseverance. Someone like me would have left such a place a long time ago. A toxic environment is the last place I can work and as a designer who needs extreme calm and peace to be able to work and bring out the best design suitable to a client’s need, I would be useless with such a boss.“That’s how it should be, Babes. You should not give a hoot about her when it is obvious she does not care about you and others' efforts.” I finally consoled her.“Exa

103 Preparation

Becca. To say she was shocked was to understate it, judging from the significant way in which she went quiet. “What?” I asked a little bit coldly, aware that my voice was defensive but unable to help it. “Nothing. Just that, the last time I was here, I had the impression that you don’t like your boss.” She replied slowly and I almost cursed aloud. God, please save me from a friend with impeccable memory. “And what makes you think anything has changed now?” I said with a discouraging frown as I put on my red thong and the sexy matching bra. “The fact that I had to force you to give his name? If he is not beginning to matter to you, you would not be reluctant to reveal with whom you are going out, girl.” My friend pointed out and I realised she was right. But I was angered by her perception. “That is not enough to base your conclusion, Cindy.” I rebuked gently. “True. But coupled with the fact that I know you reasonably well and I could feel your excitement from a hundred mile

104 Trills of Expectation

Becca.“I am so nervous right now I can’t believe it.” It was not only Cindy that was surprised to hear this confession, I was also. I had not planned to speak it out loud.“You know why?” She asked with a distracted air as she worked on my dress.“Why what?” I asked impatiently, unsure of her meaning.“I mean do you know why you are nervous? This is not the first time you are meeting the man or going out with him so I wonder why.” She pointed out casually as she pulled on the zip to open it up. Holding on to her shoulder with one hand, I stepped into the dress.“Well, this is different.” It was only after I said it that I realised what I just confirmed.“So now you are willing to admit the man now means a lot more than he did before?” She glanced up to look me in the eye pointedly.“Well, yea. Maybe.” I said with a shrug, unwilling to admit everything for now.“Hmm. Maybe we are heading somewhere. There is hope.” And that was all she said to it.“Is that the best you could offer?” I

105 A Different Man 

Becca. “Hello Ladies.” A baritone voice greeted calmly and I felt all the humour deserting my body as I swung my gaze to the metallic one watching me across the room. “Hello Mr. Fernandez.” I heard my friend greeting softly somewhere beside me and I felt more than I saw the outstretched hands. “Good evening, Christos.” I finally murmured softly and I saw the flare of passion that he could not hide in his eyes. Unable to tear my eyes away from his mesmerizing gaze, I allowed my heart to glow under his message. “I love the way you say my name yineka mou.” He mouthed silently and I blushed ruthlessly from the impact. Unfortunately, my nosey friend saw the exchange and she smiled before covering a cough with her palm. “Mummy? Are you going out on a date with Uncle Christos?” My daughter called from somewhere on the carpet and I allowed myself to be distracted. Which is a good thing. The man’s gaze was so bold; I might not survive the potency. “Yes darling, I have a date with your

106 Disappointments

Becca. This date is not turning out to be what I envisaged or expected. Where is the sexual bond I was sure we created in that office this morning? Why am I feeling as if we have taken some steps backward since then? “Do you know why I am sitting here while I allow you to sit over there all alone?” The man commented suddenly again and I wondered if his motive was to give me high blood pressure. Unfortunately, I am too curious to pretend disinterest. Not when I have been angrily wondering the same thing for the past ten minutes we have been on the road. I arched an eyebrow pointedly in silent enquiry and he smiled before answering. “Because you are so beautiful I am not sure we will make it to the dinner if I allow myself to get close. Even now, it takes all the self control I have not to leap across the space that is between us.” He told me outright without any effort at censorship. “Aha.” That’s all I could say. Aware that there is nothing I could do about the blush covering th

107 Paparazzi

Becca. “Oh my Saints of heavens. The paparazzi that you hated.” I murmured guiltily even though I’m aware it takes two to tangle. “I have come to realise they do more harm than good, Becca. That’s why I avoid them.” He explained with a little frost in his voice and I felt some sympathy within my chest. It is not easy being a wealthy powerful man, yet unable to live your life the way you want it. “Well, let’s be glad we are safe this time around. Isn’t it?” I tried to console him in the little way I could. “I am not ashamed to be with you, Becca. I will just hate for your children to be the butt of anyone’s jokes or malice. That’s all.” He explained gently and I felt a soothing relief. I know I would not admit to myself that a part of me had thought one of the reasons he would not want the paparazzi barging on us was because he was not proud of me. It’s ironic that the man who is unconnected to my kids in any way that’s substantial is the one putting them first in our journey of

108 Pure Envy

Becca. Good! “Now, look at the faces. No, not the ladies, ignore those ones. I mean the men. Look at their faces and tell me what you see?” He continued, still in that mesmerising voice. “That they all look good and pompously rich?” I murmured, unsure of what he was asking me. He chuckled. “That, they are, but that is not what I am asking of you. Look deeper, especially at those who are busy stealing glances at our table and tell me what you see in their eyes.” He continued and I began to despair. I really don’t know what it was that he could see that I could not. “Respect for you?” I finally answered, sure that there was the answer but he gave his head a shake and I almost gave up. “You are close, but not yet, and that’s because your mind is close to them and their expressions. Look at them in the same way you are viewing the ladies, Becca, and tell me what you see.” I could hear the gentleness in his words and that gave me some level headed calm. Turning more comfortably on m

109 Mind Reader

Becca. It is no longer strange what this man can do to me. Trying to conceal more revelation by using my long lashes to cover the major part of my eyes, I took a sip from my wine glass. As if he knew what I was doing, he chuckled just as the waiters walked to our table with the first course. Relieved to have something to distract me from the potency of the man’s attention, I picked the napkin and spread it smoothly on my thighs. With our attention on the food, it was some minutes before any of us could say anything and even then, it was to share a mundane topic as I shielded from having any talk that was personal. It would be a shame if the man asked about my background and I began to stammer. I will never lie about my parents but I also don’t have any intention to confess that they are actually in the same country as me. Not just the country but also the same province. Won’t he then be curious that he had never seen them in the house in any of his visits or heard about them?

110 Cheerful Giver

Becca.His eyes were hooded as he glanced at me.“Bother me? What exactly is meant to bother me yineka mou?” He questioned gently and I could see he was trying to understand.“Wasting so much food. There are many hungry souls out there, Christos.” I tried to make him understand.“And you are bothered by this? Is that what you are trying to tell me?” He murmured slowly with his fork paused in the air.“Yes, yes I am bothered.” I cried softly and he took some minutes to stare at me“Then will it help if I tell you I always make sure the untouched leftovers are neatly packed for the needy that usually come to the kitchen door? They know I don’t support food wasting yineka mou and that is why I have a good relationship with the proprietors of every restaurant I frequently visit.” He explained gently and it was some full minutes before I allowed myself to believe his words.If they ask me later, I will probably would say that was the moment I fell in love with him. This wonderful man.“How
