UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES

Chapter 3Rebecca couldn't tell whether it was the morning sun that woke her up, or the aroma of something delicious downstairs.Her eyes still closed and she stayed in bed, she smiled. She knew it was her brother creating the edible magic that heightened her senses with warmth and excitement.She sighed and sat up on her bed. She covered her eyes from the morning as she stood up to close the blinds. She then took a long stretch and an involuntary yawn followed immediately. She couldn't even tell whether she felt refreshed or if she was more tired than she was last night.She took herself out of the room and walked downstairs to the kitchen. And just as she thought, her brother was the one cooking."Well well well... Who do we have here in the kitchen?", She teased.He turned back, surprised to see Rebecca standing behind her."Becks? I didn't even know you were awake. Was I loud?", He asked as he too his focus back to what he was cooking."No no, not at all. Infact, it was the aroma o

Chapter 5"Okay. We're here", Anthony announced as he drove into his compound and stopped the car. They both came out and he noticed she was observing the house. From the look on her face, she didn't look like she was particularly admiring it. "Let's get inside", he said and he got the door open. They both entered the house and he saw that she was still checking out the house in silence. "So... Do you like it?", He asked. She kept silent for a couple of seconds before turning to him. "No" Anthony was stunned by her response. "What? W... Why?" "I've never been to a house so dull. The only colours I see is black and white. You don't even have anything that has color in your living room. You have the same paint colors for your exterior. Just black and white. All your cars are black, your walls are white. On the inside, your walls are white, and your furnitures are black. Your house has no life whatsoever in it. I've been to smaller house that have less eyesore paint colors. Your

Chapter 7"Vivian!!", He exclaimed in shock. He called her name so loud, she jerked up from the bending position she was in. "Oh, you're here! I didn't even see it hear you walk in" "Wh... What's all this mess?!", He questioned, complete horror in his eyes as he scanned his room with his eyes. Since the very first day he bought this house and started living in it, his loving room had never been this scattered. Infact, the word "scattered" was an understatement of the situation of his living room. He was standing in total chaos!! Everywhere he looked, he saw rumpled and squeezed papers. If the papers were not not rumpled, they were lying dormant with something written on it. Pasted on his sofas and couches were small, colorful small notes. He also saw her shoes and bags on the centre table. "Oh, I'm sorry... The firm that held the interview asked the applicants to make their best blog work. They asked us to come up with an three-thousand word article of a topic I'd never handled

Chapter 9"What is wrong with this lady?! But she want me to die of heart attack?! Why won't she answer her calls?!", He swore in anger and threw his phone across the couc It was 12:30pm, and Anthony was pacing from one end of the living room to anothe Although he had a not-so-great conversation with Vivian earlier in the day, and he didn't get her to sign the document, he didn't know that she'd start breaking the rules toda It was way past the curfew, but she was nowhere to be found. He saw her leave the house after the argument they had, and he guessed that she had a gig to attend to, but he didn't know what gig would keep Vivian out by this tim He tried her number for the upteenth time, but as the other attempts went, she wasn't answering her phone. He didn't know where to go in search of her because he had no idea where she wen But he couldn't stay at home and do nothing but worry. He had to start somewhere. He didn't know where he was going to look for her, but he had to at l

Chapter 11"And you got drunk last night? Guess it isn't important to you, then" "The company was actually impressed with my work and asked to see me personally today. I need to get ready as soon as possible!", She freaked out. "For something you're already thirty minutes late for? Coupled with the traffic? Please. You'll never get there in time", he laughed. "Yes I will, and you're going to help me get there!", She grunted and gave him a death stare that almost made him fall to his knees and beg for mercy. "Wh... What do you mean, help you get there? I already planned to rest today-" "I need to take a quick shower in your bathroom. Meanwhile, you're going to go to my room and look for my purple top and a clean pair of jeans for me. Also get me my heels. I need to look professional. Oh, and get me a clean pair of panties and bras. You'd have to smell them to know if they're clean or not", she instructed. "Even if I wanted to help you, I'd still decide not to, because of your abil
