"I'm so sorry but I just can't" Willow gave him an apologetic look.Rowan asked her to be his girlfriend but deep down she knew it was impossible because she still wasn't over what happened with Jordan."How can I convince you?" He held her hand."You can't""You love someone else?" He moved away from her."I don't know but I just don't want to hurt you. I'm not ready for this" She replied."Can you just try since you're not sure about your feelings?" He pleaded."I'm sorry" She shook her head.He raked his fingers through his hair and briefly looked at her."Can we have dinner tomorrow?" He asked."I'm busy tomorrow but I'll be free the next" She smiled.."Okay. Thank you…""Willow" A familiar voice called.Willow took her eyes off Rowan to the door."Japh!" Willow screamed and ran to him jumping into his arms."Hello. Nice to see you too!" He laughed."The gall of you to show up after completely ignoring me!" She punched him."You know why!" His eyes settled on Rowan."Japh" Rowan s

She had one last thing to take care of.This was the trip she dreaded.Going back to the place that held everything she tried to forget in the past six months.But this was different.Because her purpose has changed.She is going to confront something bigger than her. Something that might change her life for good.Whatever answers she gets today will determine the direction her life is going to take.A single information holds the capacity to twist your fate but it's left to you to mold it. Either you take charge or your fate will make you dance to its tone.Parking her Porsche in the driveway, Willow took a deep breath before hitting her knuckles on the door."I'm coming!" Terra shouted.Willow smiled because of the joy she heard in her mother's voice.She sounded happy and energetic. Just like old times."Willow!" Terra tightly hugged her daughter.No tears, okay."Hey mum" She kissed her mother on the cheeks."How are you? I thought you'll never stop by. How's Iris? Stella was just

(Willow's POV) I was determined to show him, if not tell him exactly how I felt about him. If you need anything from someone like Jordan, you don't ask but take it. And that's exactly what I was doing. What I felt for him was overwhelming but exciting. I didn't know how or when it happened but now I know and I've fully accepted. He needed to know what I feel for him and I'm very sure he has an idea. I didn't know where I got the audacity to make the move but I did and I don't regret it at all. His lips melted in mine and for a second, I was afraid because I waited for him to push me away but instead, he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. The heat radiating from him only encouraged me to go on. All I wanted was to feel his naked body on mine. He took his lips away from mine and placed it on my burning neck trailing quick hickeys along my neck, shoulders and jaw. Claiming my lips again, he lifted me into his arms and slowly placed me on the grass. I found his buttons and

Japh walked into a boutique and looked around. He was determined to make Iris talk to him. It was clear that she was avoiding him. "How can I help you sir?" A lady walked up to him. "Iris. Is she around?" He asked. "Yes. She is in the store room. Her shift just ended" The lady smiled. "Thank you so much" He smiled back and headed in the direction of the store room. "Sir? You can't go in there" The lady followed him. "I won't take long. Please let me in" He pleaded. She looked around and leaned in towards him. "Just don't take long. My boss will soon be here" Japh gave her a grateful smile and walked away. He slowly pushed the door open and peeped. Iris was putting some things in her bag. He quietly walked to her and hugged her from behind which made her jump out of fright. "Hey, it's just me sweetie" He kissed her neck. "I wanted to surprise you" He kissed her shoulder. "You could have called or dropped by the house" She picked her purse but he didn't let her go. "So

Two years later. "C'mon guys! Just one more shot!" Iris raised a shot glass. The bar was hardly full but the noise from their table was loud enough to make the bar lively. "And to think some of us have children" Willow poured more shots for her friends. "I know you're not talking about me" Iris gulped down her shot and asked for more. "You are drinking too much Iris" Rowan took the bottle away from her. "Do you think having kids is a piece of cake? Try it once" She stole Willow's shot. "What will they think when you come back home drunk?" Willow asked. "They won't think anything because they won't see anything. Japh promised to look after them" She hiccupped."But he decided to join us" "Star volunteered to babysit them" Japh defensively said. "That's because you begged her to watch your kids," Willow said. "She wanted to come out with us today" "She loves children besides, she didn't complain" Japh shrugged. "Can you get me sex in the city?" Iris whispered into her husband
