Angelo Le roux."Babe, i have to drop off the kids at Raina's place. Be back in forty." I murmured kissing her on the cheek making her frown."Just send them with a Uber driver or something." She huffed putting her makeup on. I preferred her without it, she looked flawless but she didn't seem to think so."No, Yaya I will drop them off by myself." I said putting my hands in my pocket."Oh, an excuse to see Raina." She huffed feeling defeated."No babe, i love you and only you. Don't think about Raina too much, she means nothing to me." I said not so sure about my choice of words. I had been thinking alot and this is what I absolutely wanted...to marry Yasmine. It was about that time in my life where I settled down, i wasn't feeling pressured or anything. I just felt the need to do it, Yasmine Bruyne is and was what I had always wanted in a woman. She is career wise, she is independent, confident, blonde and sexy."Angelo are you sure you don't love Raina because-"This question hit me
Raina Williams.I couldn't believe what Grayson had just done...he is just too much work. He is just unbelievable, my head hurts from last night, in general today is just not my day. I'm not so up to this trip anymore and when I do come back, I have to work on Derrick's trial which is coming soon."So you and Grayson huh ?" Angelo snapped me out of my thoughts. He was driving us to the airport since he offered which is something he would never do. "Huh?" I replied with a confused look."I didn't know you had a boyfriend." He said in a nonchalant tone his eyes fixated on the road while the twins were arguing , i guess it's their nature."I guess you could call it that." I leaned on the window looking away from him. He looked so handsome and sexy with the tiny stubble starting to take form and his piercing green eyes and jet black hair. Stop it Raina... my subconscious warned."Why didn't you say so ? Is that why you were all moody after we-" i cut him off immediately."I thought we sai
Raina.It's true what they say, home is where the heart is. With Angelo? No, I'm back home with my family, where I belong, with people who love and appreciate me. I stared at the house I grew up in, nothing had changed much. My mother's flowers still so beautiful and the lawn greener than ever, my father was taking good care of the lawn like he always used to. He always obsessed about cutting the grass at a perfect and equal height which drove my mom crazy at times. I timidly smile reminiscing..."Mommy mommy, can we go in...?" The twins pulled me forward snapping me out of my thoughts."Okay babies." I muttered going towards the door, with the luggage in hand. We didn't need to carry much as we would be spending only the weekend in Ohio before going back. We had arrived in the afternoon, it was currently past three and my only hope was they would be at home. Which I wasn't sure of, seeing as they always have prayer and fasting on Fridays...family routine.I had not realised just how
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell." ~ Joan Crawford***Angelo Le Roux."YES YES YES YES, i will marry you Angelo." She practically yelled, as I slipped the 5 carat diamond ring on her finger. She immediately hugged me, I was glad she liked it. It was Alma's choice and the booking of the whole restaurant too. I'm not the most romantic guy out here but for Yaya I was willing to put in the work. She immediately smashed her lips against mine...pulling back a few minutes later. This was it this is what I wanted...Yasmine Bruyne is who I have always wanted.I pulled out the chair for her so she could sit like the gentleman, i am. She couldn't stop looking at the ring like it was perfection, i guess Alma knows her best. "I have to tweet this before they hear it from other sources." She gasped stretching out her hand so she could see how it looked on her from a distance. "No, don't make it public." I suddenly said in a pan
"Love is to feel what the other is feeling even if they are far away." ~ Barak *** Raina Williams. "It's Gray." I rep(lied). "Oh your clients son right ?" My father said in an understanding voice. "I was just hoping we could have a little chat, you know it's been a while." He said with a smile tucked on his lips. "Yes dad, just a minute." I grimaced, with a nod he closed the door. I jumped on my pink bed covers only discovering that Angelo had ended the call, i didn't expect that but it's totally something he would do so oh well... The phone rang and a strange feeling of excitement rang inside me but disappointment soon filled it as I recognised the caller ID as Alma. Swiping the green bar on my phone, I laid in my back listening carefully. I suddenly felt like I was in those teenage movies where the girl lays on her bed talking about the boy she likes to her best friend except in this story...Angelo does not like me and Alma is not my bestfriend well not anymore. "Hey Raina, Oh
"I was nauseous and tingly all over . . . . I was either in love or I had smallpox." ~Woody Allen.***Raina Williams.The weekend was wonderful. I spent time with my family except Kyle because he recently started his college semester at the New York University of Colombia but he promised to visit LA soon. My brother and I have always been close, i love him dearly and I'm super proud of him. On Sartuday we went fishing with my mom and dad... suddenly it felt like the old days. The twins learnt a thing or two, i took loads of pictures and sent them to their father. I promised myself no matter how angry I get with Angelo, one thing I will never do is deprive my children of being with their father. My father was always good at fishing, he used to take Kyle and I every weekend when we were kids. Being in the urban area for a while gets sickening but here I was at a lake, the water green and mesmerising...the tall trees everywhere, Birds chirping blissfully. It gave me time to think and to
"There is only one happiness in life : to love and be loved." ~ George Sand***Angelo Le roux."I can't seem to believe it, I'm gone for what? A year and I come back to this surprise." Brad said in his deep British accent. He had always been one person I could confide in, we met in London during my college days."Yeah Yeah." I lazily replied. He had changed alot from having a pale complexion with lots of acne, that was college. I guess but he had always been tall now he was well built with his dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He had definitely learned a lot from me."Actually I'm glad you are here because who would be my best man..?" I grinned looking at his shocked expression, one thing about Brad was he was always a softy. We are opposites, we have always been opposites but I guess that's what made our friendship stronger and stable than any other. Ofcourse, I had always been the cool good looking one but it didn't matter. Brad came from a middle class family in London, I usually
"Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love until he's owned a dog. He can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes." - Anonymous.***Raina Williams"You haven't said much about your trip ?" Grayson muttered as he made himself comfortable in my office."Uhh, it was great." I bit my pen, thinking about my upcoming case with Derrick."I meant your meeting with Angelo a week ago..." He grimaced eagerly."Oh that." I shrugged my shoulders. "We just sorted out our differences." I sighed. I don't know why talking about him made me feel tired."I swear that guy has it out for you." He added sitting with one leg on top of the other."What do you mean ?" I said feeling more than confused."Isn't it obvious, well I'm a guy and I can tell.""I'm confused.""He likes you." Gray muttered making me laugh hysterically."Right." I curtly replied not minding whatever he was about to say."Well maybe he doesn't like you but the
