After Christian and Evelyn got back to the penthouse, Christian carried Evelyn to their room and laid her on the bed.
“ Babe are you okay? Tell me , where does it hurt. Are you hungry? How about I go make you something?” Christian bombarded her with questions and was about to stand up but Evelyn stopped him.
“No no no babe” she chuckled “ I just want you here with me” She said and pulled him closer to herself. Christian snuggled in and wrapped his arms around her.
“Are you sure that you are fine?” He asked again and Evelyn nodded her head.
“Can I ask you a question?” Evelyn asked
“Sure”
“Ok Uhm… you and Jessica Uhm, you only see her as a friend right?” Evelyn asked and her heart raced.
Christian stared at her before bursting out in laughter.
“Wait hold up . So you were not sick , you were just jealous” he said and continued laughing.
“It’s not funny“ she frowned her face and hit him on the arm. “What if I’m jealous, don’t I have the right to be?”
“Okay Evelyn

“You were smiling when he was here and the second he left , you became sad” he said
“I am not sad” I replied
“Well from what I am seeing, you are. If I can explain the scenario, then I would call it a case of one sided love” he explained with a smirk.
“Shouldn’t you be working or doing whatever you do?” I asked
“I am not busy right now and I am also the boss around here. I own this ship and call the shots here” he replied arrogantly with the stupid smirk still on his face.
“Alright Mr arrogant, should you be poking your nose into the businesses of your guests? I mean you are the boss around here, you should know that “ I said and he started laughing.
“Okay, maybe I should not be poking my nose in my guest’s businesses but I could not help but want to comfort a beautiful lady especially when she looked sad and all by herself “ he replied and I stared at him.
“I am not sad and I don’t need comforting, thank you “ i was already feeling uncomfortable with his words

The sounds of birds chirping woke me up from my sleep. I looked around me and I noticed that I was in my room? But I remember sleeping at the balcony, how did I get here? I checked the time and it was almost twelve noon.
Oh no, did I sleep that long? I tried to get off my bed but the sharp pain I felt in my head stopped me.
“Arrghh” I groaned and held my head. I am lightweight. I only drank one glass of champagne. I heard the sound of the door opening and I looked towards it. It was Christian carrying a tray of sandwich and a mug of probably coffee.
“You up already?” He said as he walked towards me , placed the tray beside me and sat down on my bed.
If Christian did this about three months ago, I won’t be shocked because I am used to him being like this to me but the situation is different now. He is engaged. I am not complaining but the guilt I feel won’t let me. He cares for me so much but I am about to break his heart again because of my selfishness . I will t

As Jessica came out of the bathroom, she was shocked to see Luke at the entrance.
“Luke?” She stared at him confused. “Uh…this is the girl’s bathroom “
“I know. I was awaiting for you” he said.
“At the girl’s bathroom?” She asked
“Yes Jess. I really need your help at the penthouse “ he said a little anxious.
“Ok let’s go” she said and he nodded.
“Oh and are you okay? I saw Mirabelle enter the bathroom too” he said concerned.
“Yeah I am fine. Don’t worry, I can handle her” Jess said and he nodded as the both left for the penthouse.
Immediately they entered the penthouse, Jessica was stunned. There were red roses on the floor that spelt out “I LOVE YOU, BE MY GIRLFRIEND?” and there was a big bouquet of flower on the table.
“So what do you think, will she like it?” Luke asked her expectantly but Jess was too stunned to reply.
“It’s bad right? I knew it, the I LOVE YOU is too much.” Luke stated very disappointed.
“No Luke, it’s beautiful “ Jessica said s

Jessica wore the red dress and made herself up before stepping out of the room. Everybody were already at the lounge waiting for her.
“Were you guys waiting for me?” She asked as she entered the lounge.
She looked at how beautiful and handsome all her friends are but when she set her eyes on a particular person, she sucked in her breathe.
Christian looks ravishing in just a casual shirt and jeans with Jordan’s and an expensive looking watch strapped to his hand. Of course she knows how handsome Christian is but he never fails to take her breath away. He is always perfect in every sense. He has the shining black hair, those green eyes that glows in the dark, those long eyelashes that every girl wants, that natural pink lips that just makes you want to commit sin ,the perfect body structure with all those muscles and abs and the perfect smooth skin that makes even a new born baby jealous. He doesn’t even have to try , he just takes her to another world. It’s like

We finally arrived at the airport of the country we are vacationing at. The vacation is for three weeks and i have to have fun because work starts immediately after for both me and Jess. We have planned this for a while but had not decided on a location yet. I am sure Jess will be excited on the location because she wanted to come here so bad. The flight wasn’t so bad . We all talked and played games and Sharpay and Evelyn felt comfortable around us.
“We are here!!” We all screamed and toasted on it with a bottle of champagne.
I am so excited to reveal the location to Jess.
“So Jess , I know you are curious about the location?” I said.
“You know I am Christian. As a matter of fact, I don’t think it’s fair that you kept it from me for a whole fifteen hours flight” she whined.
“Fine I will tell you now whiny baby” I said as I ruffled her hair.
“Hey I am not a baby “ she replied as she smack my hand away from her.
She looked cute as she pouted her red lips
