Last night was the best night I have had in a while. When I open my eyes, I come face to face with a sleeping Della. I could wake up to the sight of her and not get tired. I take in her sleeping form caressing her with my eyes shamelessly. Her untamed hair looks flawless as it falls down her face. I always knew she is a good looking woman but watching her like this so peaceful, she is so magnificent. I bring my hand to sweep away the locks out of her face waking her up in the process."Good morning." I mutter. I find her half lidded eyes fascinated by how pretty her blue eyes look. I could stare in them for as long as I can."Have you been watching at me? That's creepy Crescent." she smirks half asleep."What time is it anyways?" she asks."Noon. It is late for all I care." I reply."We need to get out of bed." Della says sitting up. I lay back on the bed watching her adjust to get out of the covers."Don't you have work, things to do today?" she asks."No. You?" I ask."I was plannin
I wake up yet again beside Della. For the few days we haven't seen each other, we have casually texted. She called me last night in need of a ride home because hers had a problem and was at the garage. I was happy to help as a friend except I ended up in her bed, again. Sometimes I tend to think she cast this spell on me. The moment I set eyes on her, I can't resist her."Morning." Della murmurs."How was your night?" I ask pocking her cheek lovingly."Fun. Yours?" she smirks. "Better." I reply."Come on we have got get up. I need to be at the hospital in an hour and so do you." she sits up."An hour? We could do so much in an hour." I point out. Della shakes her head when she catches on the meaning of my words."No Crescent. We are going to be late." Della says. "Says who?" I pull her back to me before I flip us so that she is beneath me. She gasps a little caught offguard. "Tell me you don't want me now and I will let you go." I nip the underside of her ear eliciting a soft moan f
When Della opens the door, I can't help but admire her right from top to bottom. A purple sexy lace midi dress so simple but also has the effect to turn eyes especially on a body like hers. Her make up is just perfect coupled with a pair of black ankle strap heels."Beautiful." I compliment unconsciously. Della blushes."Do you mean the outfit or me?" she asks."Both. Everything actually." I splutter."You look handsome too." she comments."Shall we?" She takes my hand before we walk to the car. After making sure she is comfortable, I settle in my seat before I drive away. I play some background band music as we drive telling each other about our days. When we arrive at the resort, I open her door like a gentleman and lead her to the table I reserved."Oh my!" Della exclaims when she catches sight of the table."Do you like it?" I ask nervously. I don't understand why I took all this initiative to do stuff like this for her. I know I said it is only dinner but I went on to book this pl
The week has been a hectic one filled with errands, meetings and functions. The most absurd thing is that the day I am almost free, I have to spend it seated with a bunch of sixty year olds which are my dad and George, Henley and Brad and not forgetting my nemesis which is my brother. "I was talking with Genevieve and her husband last week. I got to meet their daughter. She is a beautiful and a good girl. I want Crescent to meet her." Dad says. I scowl. When did my father start playing matchmaker? I bet it is mom putting those thoughts in his head. Henley glances at me. Aaron smirks."That's great to hear." George mutters."I am sure they will make a good couple." Aaron adds with a grin. I doubt her would think so. What would he know about a good couple when he couldn't save his marriage?"What about Gretchen? What happened to her?" Henley asks. The nerve of her to act like she cares. I glare. Gretchen is the daughter of an investor who hosted a party we attended during the week. Our
Della's simple kiss on my jaw wakes me up."Morning." she smiles."How long have you been awake?" I ask groggily. "Probably five minutes back." she rolls back to her side. When I reach for her at the other end of the bed, I realise the kind of situation we are in right now.Firstly, Della is naked under the covers. Secondly, I am sporting an erection. We stare at each other coincidentally before she smirks. I take this as a cue to continue my original plan. I draw her closer and kiss her lips. In no time, an innocent kiss turns into a heated and wild one. Suddenly the room is degrees hotter.I straddle her immediately wanting her closer. The feeling of her body flush against mine makes me feel like I am on cloud nine.Out of the blue, Della pulls away like a burnt child. She pushes me away from her like I just caught a contagious disease."What the h...""Where are my clothes?" Della jumps out of the bed. I am confused right now. One second she was ready for me and the next she is ask
Lunch was great and things went on smoothly between her parents and I even after that conversation with her dad. That wasn't the climax of the day though. While Della and her dad caught up, I remained with Susan talking about her upcoming show. The conversation was good until she cut in with a sharp question. "You and my daughter are not dating, I get it. However Crescent, do you see yourself dating my daughter in the future?" I don't understand how far that future she meant was."Your daughter is...""Don't beat around the bush boy. Just answer the question." It was a tough question to answer."No. I would if the situation was different." she gazes quietly."Does that mean there is someone else?" Susan cocks a brow."Yes. She is my ex fiancé.""Engaged?""We were until she broke our engagement six months back.""I see. Where does my daughter fit in your equation Crescent if you are still in love with this ex-fiancé?" Susan raises a brow. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life
Tonight I am having dinner with my family. Dad told me in advance that George and his family was invited. That only meant Henley and her boyfriend were going to attend. I expect everyone except Aaron and I to have someone on their hand. That is why I decided to invite Della to be my date for tonight. She was skeptical at first but agreed when I convinced her. I assured Della that her by my side was to make Henley feel jealous. She warmed up to the idea eventually which explains why I am outside her door at seven. She opens the door after my knock. I smile when I realise how incredibly beautiful she looks tonight. Purple dress that accentuates her figure. She has me staring for a minute before I embrace her. I haven't seen her in two days but it feels like so many days. Her hair is curled for tonight making her look more flawless. "Are those mine?" she asks looking at the flowers in my hand. I had forgotten for a second I had them."Yep. Do you like them?" I give them to her."I love
When I returned home last night, I couldn't find sleep. When we said farewell to everyone and I drove Della home, she didn't talk to me the whole journey. When I tried to apologize, she told me she was tired and we would talk next time. She must be pissed for the way I talked to her. I am to blame. I let my emotions get into my head.When my intercom buzzes, I answer immediately."Mr. Armstrong. Ms Henley is here to see you." Kristy, my secretary announces."I don't want to see her." I mutter immediately. "Ms..stop. He says he doesn't want to see you. She is coming." Kristy informs.I sigh when I hang up. Immediately my door opens to reveal a scowling Henley."What was that Crescent?" she says angrily."Just the person I didn't want to see." I glare. I don't bother hiding the annoyance in my voice.Henley walks further taking a seat without my permission."What do you want Henley?" I ask impatiently."I was from lunch with your father and I passed by to say hey. I didn't expect this b
