"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
"Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough." - Pierre Augustin Caron de beaumarchais*** Raina Williams "Am I disturbing something ?" Angelo said clenching his jaw. I stepped back from Grayson. "No, actually I was just leaving but what do you want anyways?" Grayson said in a nonchalant tone making me sigh."It's none of your God damn business just get out!" Angelo seemed pissed."It is my business because I can see right through you..." Gray deadpanned, i wanted to laugh but this was serious and Gray was getting the wrong idea."Uhm Gray, i will call you." I led him out."See right through me? Yeah right." Angelo replied."I'm watching you and don't think you will fuck my girlfriend anytime you feel like your fiancée isn't good enough." Gray was dead serious and I felt awkward."Gray that's enough, you should go." He pulled me into a hug and laid a gentle kiss on my cheek before heading out of my office leaving me and Angelo alone with the tension."Sorry about that, Gray
"In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes." - Elizabeth Ashley.***"So I really want this wedding to happen as soon as possible, that's why it will be happening in a month." Yaya explained while sipping on her cocktail.She had invited all her bridesmaids to meet for lunch and the only person I knew around this table was Alma the other three ; no idea."Oh right, Alma and Raina this is Leentje Timmermans my childhood bestfriend, we met in highschool back in Amsterdam." She pointed at the woman who sat beside me with big cold narrow gray eyes, strawberry blonde hair in waves and had a meaningful tattoo on her neck."Nice to meet you Alma and Raina I wouldn't say the same." She spoke in a thick Dutch accent filled with vernom and I flinched in my seat."She is my maid of Honour." Yaya added."Over there is Linda Freisler, she from Germany you must know her collections...we met at a fashion show in Cologne and we have been close friends ever since." She pointe
"Love . . . . . [is] a lack of personal selfishness." - Theodore M. Burton***Raina Williams."They were so rude." I sighed sipping on my red wine."You do know you can still back out right?" Gray muttered calmly with his eyes closed concentrating on his yoga. I wasn't a fan but Gray invited to his pent house and I found him doing his yoga so I just let him continue.."I know but I don't want to look like a bitter person or anything." I shrugged."You are too nice." He breathed in and out in and exaggerated sigh."No I'm not." I laughed at his utter seriousness."Next time, I'm going with you. We will show those hoes that you have a handsome boyfriend." Gray smirked admiring himself. He really was handsome and it would be really stupid if any woman rejected him. Sometimes even I'm at fault whenever I admire him from afar. What would we have become if he didn't turn out to play for the other team...oh Gray but he is a magnificent friend."And Alma she is a designated hoe as well." He
"Love is to feel what the other is feeling even if they are far away." - Barak***Angelo Le roux."Are you sure this is what you really want ?" My father asked looking concerned. Once again for what seemed like the hundredth time that question was thrown into the air again. Does every engaged couple go though this everyday until their wedding because it's exhausting."Yes, I'm certain." I said pursing my lips into a thin line but something was constantly telling me to say no. People get nervous all the time before their wedding day right ? That must be it."Then why don't you seem happy ?" My father questioned as I sat on the opposite side of his office. I blinked furiously not sure what he was driving at."I'm as happy as I could be, dad." I laughed not sure of how to react to his blunt attitude."I know you very well son." He said in a soft hoarse tone."Trust me, i really am." I said finding the grey carpet more interesting than anything in the room right now. Suddenly there was a
