DANIEL
And so,this is how Daniel ended up in the mansion of the Lawrence's dressed in the dashing tux Zoey got for him. He looked to his left and was welcomed with the smiley face of Zoey. She was obviously way happy about this; Not the party though but the fact that he chose to settle the differences between them and deciding to attend this 'forsaken' party. She was dressed elegantly in a sexy Red Chiffon deep V-Neck long flowing dress which had a slit high enough to reveal her right thigh. Her Golden Brown hair was layered and wavy to the right and her silvery slim heels glittered as they walked through the crowd. Their arms intertwined. Her stunning make up and attire further astonished her toned skin,enough for the other dignitaries to stare. She was so flawless that he sometimes thought himself not worthy of her love.
He loathed this place,the glittering,the people,the stares,in fact everything as he stepped into the
ZOEY"Darn it!" Zoey smashed her phone across the marble floor. Her anger and frustration were beginning to consume her from within. She had been phoning Daniel since the morning but apparently he was doing a great job ignoring her. She loathed herself for her mistakes; if she had informed Daniel earlier about her alliance perhaps these troubles could have been averted. But it was too late for regret now,her Father had marvelously victimized Daniel while Gray played the devil's advocate. She wondered how long her beloved would stay away from her. Just the thought alone kindled another wave of pain within."Trisha!" She blared as her back relaxed to one of her blue comfy sofa in the medium sized parlour. Her PA paced to the scenery of scattered pieces her phone."What happened!,Zoey?" Asked Trisha in a concerned voice while Zoey rubbed her forehead tiredly with her eyes shut."Get me a new
DANIEL"I talk am!..." Idris yelled,his voice indicating more of disappointment than the accustomed mocking tone. Daniel watched him tiredly from his bed as Idris gestured about the room."I told you guys,this girl is not to be trusted. But what did you do,Daniel?..." Idris continued to say while Kayode cleaned the furniture off dust but there were hardly any dirt. Kayode was simply trying to ignore Idris and the self denial he was feeling right now. "You were busy doing love in Tokyo,taking relationship advice from Mr. Kayode there who's never had any white girl as his girlfriend before!."Daniel sat up on the edge of the bed trying to contain the resentments Idris was fueling inside him again. For the past two days after the party's incident he didn't tell his friends about what happened and when he finally told them. This what's happening. Idris scorning and Kayode disappointed. It mad
GRAY Gray walked elegantly into his family's parlour with his parents and his sister rightly seated on separate couches. He adjusted his unbuttoned black suit jacket briefly before relaxing to one of the couches. He crossed his right leg over the other while his left fingers played with a big dice. He chose to ignore the hostility his family showed him; His Father was especially glaring while Mother chose to view magazines she was obviously not paying attention to and his sister...glued to her phone."At first I was beginning to take pride in your confidence the last time you came here but now...I realize you're an utter failure!." His Father bellowed while Gray smirked."You got us insulted,young man!. Above all,Zoey broke the alliance yet you still have the effrontery to reside over us like a K
"Remember,I don't want her to get seriously hurt.""Copy that." ZOEYIn the large office of Mrs. Johansson inscribed in one of the Johansson's skyscraper one could hear the vehement argument ongoing between mother and child. Her Mother's office was relatively large,well spaced and ventilated rewarded with a large glass wall that bestowed an astonishing view of other buildings and the bustled streets of New York. The room was simple styled;Gray coloured that appeared faintly almost blending with the light rays beaming from the large glass wall. At the front of this wall,lay a black desk that held a laptop, some few files arranged in an orderly manner,an exotic lampstand and swivel chairs accompanying alongside. And at the far end of the room sideways the desk lay a comfy black couch,glass encrusted stool,rooted finely on the luxurious gray rug.Today Zoey had planned on making her point w
DANIEL In the early hours of the morning,Daniel had strolled for a walk down the street. Usually,he would hang his camera around the neck and wear a countenance that defined optimism but this day was different. In fact,it started on a bad note. He was burdened. He and his friends had only one day left to exit their apartment,he also lost his job,Idris is still furious at him and seemingly disappeared yesterday,Kayode was busy looking out for apartments they could afford. He understood all this misfortunes were his fault which was why he had called Zoey severally. In hope for her to help but when none of those calls came through,he concluded it was time to let go. She had moved on and he had been the victim of heartbreak. All of his depressive thoughts changed when he accidentally bumped into a woman. Isabella, Louis's wife."Isabella?,my goodness what are you doing here in New York?." Daniel asked with heavy dose of
ZOEY Zoey battled hard to contain her tears as she stormed towards Gray's white Mercedes-Benz CLS class vehicle parked by the road bank. Her legs were failing her,growing numb at intervals,her breaths came out heavy and short just wallowing on the brink of hyperventilation,The pain that thumped heavily in her chest burned more than her wounds. Various thoughts were scaling her mind at every step,she had thought Daniel different,a gentle soul,pure,until she walked into his apartment watching him cuddle happily with not just any random lady but Isabella. Louis's wife. Had he not shame?,nor dignity that of all people he decided to sleep with was his friend's wife. And what drove him to cheat on her?!,for just a lingering misunderstanding and he had began flirtatious ways.She was a fool to have trusted him to have fallen in love with him. She briskly wiped the tears lingering on her face before hopping into Gray's vehi
GRAYThree weeks now that he had been stalking Zoey here in Canada. Although he found it tiring and frustrating,he definitely knew all his hard work would pay off sooner or later. From the information he had stockpiled,Zoey usually took most of her weekdays acting in her highly awaited movie and on weekends she spent it going hiking or partaking in other leisure activities he didn't give a penny to care about. What he was more focused on was her weekdays. After her shoots or during occasional breaks she usually visits a certain restaurant. Alo restaurant,one of Toronto's finest located third floor in Victorian building. Where she would have her lunch delicacy with her Personal Assistant,Trisha,friends or lucky fans. Sometimes it would be lunch and sometimes she was just there spending her leisure time texting.This was the perfect time he could anchor an acquaintance with her. A perfect coincidental meeting tha
ZOEYIn the hotel room where Zoey took residence,there she was in her luxurious bathroom painted in a near gold colour and in a bathtub;her body covered in soap foam except her head that rested on the edge. The delightful scent of lavender And the calm music that played from her room was enough to send her into thinking. With her eyes shut,she thought of her day she shared with Gray. There was only one thing that lingered in her head. The moment when he had asked her on a date. She loathed herself for being so weak in her resolve and here she is, contemplating on going on a date with Gray. The same man who had maltreated and ended their relationship in the first place. There was always one truth that kept taunting her from within;Beneath the hatred brewing for him, some part of her were still attracted to him. A tiny part that has failed to fade. There was also Daniel,the man she still loves who ended up breaking her heart. Certainly, she
