“About two years later, I got a mail from Chicago, who could have possibly send me a mail for about two years now? I opened it, it was from Ivana Thompson, my heart skipped, she begged me forgiveness, that George lied to her and equally broke her heart. She told me that after their graduation, the relationship became soar but she was managing it even though George doesn't give her attention. She was thinking he might change before they will enter college but a year in college, she got pregnant for him but he denied her. George never loved her, that as she is writing to me that I may not see her again, she told me George said that I told him that she is a street girl, spoilt girl which make her to always
George arrived late for his lecture and tried not to disturb the class as he quietly found a seat. Whiletrying to get himself in order,his walletfelldown and bending to pick it up,he sawa very tenderhand with nice fingers already holdingthe wallet. He raisedhis head to see who has those beautiful fingers and it turned out to be the very same blue eyes that made a space forhim on her seat the other day, “here you go,” she said, offering the wallet to him.George was short of words and collected the wallet, saying thank you when he found his voice.He couldn't get his eyes off her again and was soengrossed with her innocent but beautiful looks. He found it hard to concentrate on the lecture andimmediately the class was over,herushed outside to wait for her. There was no way he was missing speaking to her again. Seeing her approaching, he gulped and his heart tightened as he call
Six months later,George and Irene ranoutof St Augustine school with best of results laughing and hugging each other,“itwas indeed worth the effort,” said George .Irene sighed happily, “We made it.”They were so happy and excited about their results and Irene couldn’t wait to tell her mother as she reached for her phone immediately and dialed hedr number, shouting,“mom I made it with the best results,”immediately the call connected.“I knew you would,” Elizabeth said with happiness clear in her voice. “So, when are you coming home?”She asked after her moment of her happiness.“Mom, are you crying?”“No dear,” she sniffed, “I’m just happy. I really wish your dad was here to see you.”Irene felt the ache in her heart, “I wish so too, mom.”“I know, but don’t wor
Its nineam at StJohn's church as Richard stood at the altar in awhite suit with Jude beside him as they waited patiently for his bride.Looking down the aisle, he sawher approaching with her uncle. She lookedso beautifuland was glowing. He could feel his heart swelling as he thought to himself that in the next hour, she was going to be his wife.“Whoa, she looks charming,”Judemurmured.George smiled and without taking his eyes off Irene , he answered,“I know.”When they were close to the altar, he walked up to them and Joshua handed her to him with a, “take good care of her.”George nodded, “with all that I have.”Irene chuckled at that and they both turned to meet the priest while Joshua went to sit beside a smiling Elizabeth.It was a beautiful wedding and everybody was satisfied with the outcome as they left for the reception.A
Irene looked at the man in front of her and asked, “how are you, Francis?"He smiled and replied, "fine,” looking directly into her beautiful eyes, ‘she is so beautiful’ he thought.Irene looked at him and still couldn't believe he is a cook, she asked, "are you sure you can do this?""Ma'am this is my job. I took it up from my dad and I assure you that you won’t disappoint if you hire me for the job."With doubt clouding her face, Irene looked at him once more, there was something about him that was urging her to hire him. Deep in her heart she could feel that whatever it was means trouble but she just couldn’t listen to her conscience and also, she wanted to taste the food that a man like him made. She was sure as hell that if he is a good cook, it would taste great. A part of her wanted to put him on bending and talk to George about him, in all the applicants that came over, he was the only one she feels like hiring
Irene was smiling and blushing as she booked an appointment with her doctor to formally check her newly found pregnancy since George said it’s better to have another doctor handle her than him. "Hi doctor Joan, I would like to see you. Can I fix an appointment with you? I think I'm a few weeks gone.""Wow, that’s a good news, Mrs. Richardson. Come in on Friday morning, I will be available," Doc. Joan replied."That’s okay with me," Irene replied.“I will be looking forward to meeting you. Congratulations once more.”“Thank you,” Irene replied before hanging up the call. She had a knock on the door just as she was hanging up, “please come in,” she turned to the door."Good morning, Ma'am and Congratulations on your little one," Francis said, stepping into the room.Irene smiled, "thank you, but how did you find out?"she asked."Your husband told me this morning when he w
“I’m so sorry, Irene,” Joan said.Irene snatched her hand from Francis ’s hold and sniffled, then she looked away from them, “just leave me alone.”“Irene….” Francis tried to protest, knowing she wasn’t supposed to be left alone now.“Francis ,” Joan interrupted and when he looked at her, she shook her head at him and he sighed, then moving away from the bed. They both looked at Irene one more time before leaving the room. Outside the bedroom, she turned to Francis, “have you called George ?”“Yes, he is on his way back and should be here any time soon. I have to stay away in order to pick him up.”Joan nodded, “try and be around for her. You need to be on alert, constantly check on her to make sure she won’t be trying anything stupid. I still can’t understand how this happened, she was fine when I checked her up this week,” she
The next day, Francis woke up alone to discover that Irene was gone; he sat up and kneaded his temple to minimize the hangover he was having. He didn’t need to remember what happened last night because looking at his nude body already said it all. He climbed out of the bed and went into the bathroom to shower, after, he dressed up and left for the kitchen to make breakfast for them. He hoped Irene would come down and join him like she used to, the last thing he wants is last night putting an end to their friendship or whatever it is now after last night.Francis looked at the stairs and when he didn’t see her, he became worried; he stopped chopping the vegetable and walked to the sink to wash his hands. He dried his hands on the apron he was wearing before taking it off. Turning off the cooker, he left the kitchen and went up the stairs. He stopped before a door and without knocking; he pushed open the door and went in.Irene sat up on the bed when she saw
Chapter eightGeorge tried so hard not hurt or disturb Irene as he watched her sleeping so calmly, he gently tucked a tendril of her hair behind her ear,oh, how I missed her and I really want to touch her and make good love to her.I know she has missed me and probably wants me, but I don't know ifI shouldapproach her or not, don't know if she wants anything of such now, don't know if she is in the mood.He thought as he watched her sleeps so peacefully. Finally deciding to let her sleep, he climbed into bed beside and cuddled her. Whispering, ‘I love and missed you honey’ in her ear.Immediately, she turned to him and looked deeply into his eyes and repeated, "I am sorry George."Her repeated apology made him wonder why she kept on saying that, she has apologized for more thanthree times that evening to him. Although he had tried to ignore it at first but it was really eating him up now,
