"How about we play twenty questions," I said as I laid my head on his shoulders, playing with his chest hairs. "What are we, teenagers?" He chuckled, I smiled at the vibrations that rumbled in his chest. "Come on, it wouldn't kill. We barely know anything about the other and we plan on getting married next week.""I know some things about you."I looked up at him. "Really?" I moved from him and rested my elbows on the bed, using my palm to support my chin as I stared down at him. "What's my favorite color?""Pink?""No," I nudged him gently with a little laugh. "Why do men think all women like pink, my favourite colour is blue.""That's close.""No, it's not." I shook my head and laid back on his chest. "What's your favourite color?" I asked. "Black," he said simply. "But not because I'm trying to be mysterious, or give of a certain kinda vibe, but because I truly like the color.""I think black suits you." I gave a small yawn. I liked this position, just Gideon and I in bed, it fe
It was a week before our wedding and we were done with sending out invitations, we didn't invite much, since we had prepared sits for only fifty people, so it was just families and few friends. It was going to be an indoor wedding, because we wanted privacy.Since Gideon was free for the day and I had taken leave from work because of my wedding, we had decided to go shopping. My cravings had gotten really weird lately and Gideon was getting tired of running to the supermarket just to get me almost about anything he didn't have in his fridge.I had given Gideon a list and sent him off, while I had take another list. I was getting random things, mostly snacks I've never heard of but looked really yummy. I had just grabbed a packet of some strange looking chocolate when a couple passed before me, any other day I wouldn't care but seeing Ciara with a man who I was sure was Timothee or Thomas, whichever one was is real name got my attention.Who was he to her? He had his arms wrapped arou
The day has finally arrived, my wedding day, it felt really weird saying it, felt really weird thinking it and just living it was almost fictional. The fact that everyone was out there waiting for me only increased my anxiety the more. I could barely sleep last night, I was up filled with thoughts.Last night Gideon had gone out with his friends for a little bachelorette party they were throwing him, while Lily and Olivia had come over for some ladies time. "Oh, Lily I've got chills." I finally voiced out. "They're multiplying!" she replied in a singsong voice. "And I'm losing control, cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying. Sing along babe!""No Lily stop." Palming my head, sometimes I ask myself where how she ever got to be my best friend. "I am not singing the song. I really have got chills. I can feel all the hairs on my skin standing, I've got cold feet.""Oh, you're serious." She got up from the chair which she had been sitting on by the door and walked over to me
"He has my looks," Gideon whispered in my ears as we looked down at our sleeping child."He has my nose," I said back with a chuckle."He has my mouth!" Lily who was sitting at a corner in the room said in between mouthful of popcorn. "What?" she asked as we turned to look at her. "It's true." she rolled her eyes. "Fine, I will give you guys space, but I'll be back in five minutes to hold my godson.""Yes ma," I teased laughing as she stormed out the room, her elbows swinging. I turned to Gideon once Lily was out. "You know, we still haven't decided on a name.""That's right," A mischievous look came on his face. "How about Timothee?""Lord no." I was not going to name my child after Ciara's imaginary boyfriend, if it wasn't the case, Timothee was actually a really cute name I would have considered. Speaking of Ciara, she had finally decided to move on after the wedding, Gideon told me she had decided to go live with a friend in California, to be honest, I do wish her the best, I hope
Emily had been leaving the best life she could ask for, she had with her the best of friends, a supportive family, and an amazing partner who provided an equally amazing time in bed. Their son Rayn was almost clocking a year now. The past months have been a joy ride, more than she ever imagined she would be living, but they have also been little bumps here and there."You know he's started going to the office every day... he'll be back soon though. Why do you ask, need his help with something?" It was her mum, who had phoned that morning."No, not at all," she said. "I just...holding a party to celebrate the opening of the new shop. I was wondering if you two will be able to make it, but if Gideon is busy, it will be nice if you showed up.""Of course. I mean, it's not like I have somewhere to be. I'll be there with Rayn.""Great. I should go now, your father's having a little trouble in the garden. Uh...things are going well over there right?""Of course, everything is fine. Gideon h
Emmalia sighed in frustration, placing the tin back. "Rayn they don't have your milk here... we'll have to visit yet another store." He let out a little burp as a response, but honestly, it looked like he couldn't care less the type of milk his mother bought. "Come on, we have to get home and help your aunt Estelle before your father arrives." Gideon didn't like her doing chores since she dedicated all her time to the table, he hired a young lady who came every day. She helped with the shopping and dishes, whole Emmalia took care of Rayn, but today she had decided to have a little exercise and went out shopping herself."Do you need help with that?" The driver who had been following her around asked, referring to the stroller she was struggling to push. It wasn't a problem for her at first, but she really bought lots of unnecessary things that she may never use and soon she had a mountain of goods before her. "Eh...you take care of the little boy, I'll handle this.""Thank you," she s
"He's still not answering his calls?" Estelle asked, watching a pacing Emmalia from where she sat, rocking Rayn to sleep."No, still no answer," she told her. "Gideon promised that he would be home early today. He said he was finishing up with work and will be home early, so what's holding him back?""Calm down, maybe he had something to finish up at work, he'll be back soon-" She paused Emmalia raised her hand."Hey, it's me...I wanted to ask, is my husband still in his office? My husband? My husband is your boss...Mr. Brynch!" Emmalia snapped after the secretary kept asking her questions which only provoked her. "This is Emmalia speaking," she said, this time in a much gentler tone. "He already left? When?" Her tone went back to its high pitch. "Hours ago? Ok, thank you...No, no problem, it's fine." After that, she ended the call, an annoyed look on her face."Is he on his way home?" Estelle asked."I don't know." Emmalia shrugged. "But I doubt it. According to his secretary, he lef
"No, I can't, sorry.""Come on Emmalia, we're just going to get our nails done and have a good time. I'm not asking you to run away with me to Mars." It's been two weeks since Emmalia ran into Judy, and they had been talking since then. They had become close friends, and with Lily away, Judy was becoming the closest thing Emmalia now had to a best friend. That afternoon, Judy decided to visit and wasn't planning on leaving till she had successfully dragged Emmalia out of the house. "You could bring your son if you want, or you could just leave him with Estelle. You have to let little Rayn learn to live on his own. If you keep sticking to him like glue, what then will happen when he finally goes to school. He is going to be so used to being with you, it would be hard for him to cope with the new surrounding, you have to start now.""OK, I guess you're right," Emmalia said. "I'll tell Estelle we are going out. Rayn is asleep at the moment, so everything should be fine.""Exactly...what
