Was that moment happening to me there? I kept wondering to myself as the moment was about to happen to me in slow motion. There were a lot of things about to go wrong on the day of my grand reappearance. Randy tried to put his lips on mine while every single person was watching, and the was beginning to look like an intentional effort to sabotage every single thing I had been working on so far. But then, in the nick of time, Dolph was able to get in the middle of everything before it could happen. All eyes were on us without a doubt. But for some reason, Dolph didn't seem nervous as he pushed Randy away from me. There was just too much tension in the air for the next couple of moments. Randy looked a bit confused as Dolph motioned for security to have him thrown out. There were just too many things on my mind as I was trying to figure out what to do next from there. “You pervert… what the heck are you doing here…?” I barked at Randy, as I was simply annoyed by his relentless effor

“Well… about my ex…” I said as I had never had to think through my words so carefully in such little time. “Things happened so suddenly and I realized that with all my years of experience in relationships, I still had a lot to learn.”Laughter erupted in the hall and that made me feel like getting a clip of the whole interview and playing it over every single morning. The people looked like they were having the time of their lives.I could only imagine just how good a laugh Dolph was shaving back there in the back. He was probably proud of the fact that I was giving them a good show while I was clearing my name. Helen cleared her throat, signaling that it was time to get serious again. “You were quite a mess after the phone call that ruined your whole career if not your life…”“Well, it ruined my career but not my life. And I think we should never give anyone the power to ruin our lives. That's just too much power for just one person.” I said, giving them all a dose of my therapy ses

“Surprise…!” all of the maids and butlers shouted out to me with an excitement that nearly had me jumping out of my skin. There was just too much on my mind as I was trying to keep myself from falling backward.“What's going on?” I asked as I had almost lost my breath from the sudden rush of excitement that had been so intense to the point that I was scared. “I asked for a little house party to be thrown for you…” Dolph said from behind as he was looking the most excited I had ever seen him in a while. “You deserve it, Tamika…”Oh yes, I did. I had gone against unimaginable odds that had me wondering how exactly I had made it through. Everything seemed to have been against me until the moment when I heard the crowds cheer for me.But then, all of that was over and I was about to enter a long time of activity as I was trying to resuscitate my career once again. “Julia and Michael will be over here to celebrate with us at any time from now. I wanted us to celebrate specially and there

“All right, the moment of truth is finally here for everyone…” Julia hit me with a suspicious glance as it was time for the dishes to be tasted. “Too bad we don't have any external judges to judge on our behalf. Some people might choose to rate their basic dishes ten out of ten.” I let out, looking at her in the same way she looked at me. “And just for the record, we are the winning couple…”“Enough of that, please… you could have possibly made trash while speeding up…” Julia teased back. “This… doesn't look like trash…” I said pointing at our seafood pasta which had my mouth watering already. “Ladies… calm down. I can make provisions for external judges who would come and settle these scores for good…” Dolph was suddenly speaking up at the last time I had expected him to. “And who are the judges you would be using for this?” I asked, wondering if Dolph was going to pay the best culinary wizards in town to come be the judges. He was rich and he could do almost anything. “They're

“I think I'm in love with you, Tamika…”Those words kept echoing in my head for the next couple of moments, along with the sigh he had let out after saying them. The sigh seemed to be a sign that he had to swallow a great deal of pride before being able to say those words to me. But either way, I was reeling as I realized that all of my suspicions had been right all that time. There were a lot of things that had me feeling like I was just being lured into bed again, as that moment was just too good to be true. “But their contact forbids anything like this from happening between us… how could you suddenly start having feelings for me? Besides you were the one that made the contract… you can't possibly be the first one to break it.” I hoped I wasn't going to scare him away with that, as his pride would seem to be a big obstacle to him expressing himself. “You don't understand, Tamika…” he sighed tiredly as he seemed like he was fighting for his life by merely standing there and havin
