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
NEW YORK CITY:To say Emma was furious would be an understatement, she was beyond furious, maddening even. What business did Gideon have dropping Judy home? Had he been with her most of the night? Why was he even with her at the first place? Emma didn’t know what to think of the pictures that were currently resting on her palms. She really didn’t want to think too much into it, Judy was her friend after all. But the picture were saying otherwise, the first one looked as though her husband and Judith were going to share a kiss, the second was of him pulling away. When Judith has gushed about how much she admired Gideon, Emma had only seen it as a compliment, she didn’t think she would actually think of trying to have something with him. She shuddered at the thought. Gideon could never do such a thing to her. But deep down inside her, she was having doubts. The door to the shower room flung opened and Gideon steeped out with only a white towel wrapped around his waist. On a different d
"Are you sure all the red ones I picked are exactly the ones you've stuck up there? " Judy asked the attendant of Prada’s lingering store who stood in front of the counter. The plump lady gave a half smile and said "Your partner sure loves red huh? " Judy giggled without a word. " It's obvious. Everything here is red. " the plump attendant added handing over the package to Judy who smiled and left the store. 'I can't wait to put it on for Gideon. ' she thought. 'He loves red, I'll give him red. ' she muttered to herself. "Come in. The door is open. " Judy replied after her door bell rang. It was few minutes past 10pm. She had just taken a bath and had a robe around her. "I've been expecting you. " she told her guest who crashed into her sofa. "I had a long day. At last I am here. " he replied after giving out a loud groan. "You know the comfort I derive from my hectic day? " he asked her and continued. "I get to drive her all day at her beg and call yet don't get tired. Those sparklin
