Chapter Twelve Clive was shocked when he saw David in the house when he opened the door. There he was, his husband was sitting on the living room sofa. Watching television. His eyes looked at Clive. His face had a smile on it. He ran to where Clive was standing. He hugged Clive. " I missed you!" He kissed Clive's chin since he missed Clive's lips. Because Clive had moved them from David's reach. David still had a big smile on his face. Seemingly didn't notice that Clive was not interested in anything at the moment. " You just left. I don't even understand why you left. You up and left me as if I was nothing. You didn't even tell me that you were coming here." " So?" Clive had his arms crossed around his chest . " So what? I left because I needed some space. Is that so wrong?""No, it's not wrong." David shook his head. "I know I can be a lot to handle sometimes." He looked down at the floor. "I just... I love you so much. And I don't want to lose you." He looked b
Chapter ThirteenMivume has been working in the farm for two months. He has gotten the hang of things. He and Mine have gotten close. He has come to understand Mine a bit more and he thought Mine understood him a bit more too. They had their own unspoken code together. They were comfortable with each other. Mivuma was done working in the farm for the day. He was sitting on the stoop of the house now. He was a bit sleepy, he had his head on the door frame. His eyes were closed. He was about to drift off when he felt cold water splash on his face. He jumped up gasping. He saw Mine's mother with a bucket. She looked at him with hatred. " You think this is a hotel or something? Get the hell up and start working!" Mivuma was so confused. " What did I do wrong? I was just at the farm. I have worked!" The mother scoffed at him. " Don't talk back to me, you ungrateful boy!" She snapped at him. " You're supposed to work even after the sun goes down. You get your food and a place to st
Chapter Fourteen" Baby calm down now." Kenneth kept on pleading Ezula who wasn't giving him a listening ear. " Okay I admit that I actually went overboard this time but it was necessary my love. It truly was." Kenneth had again tried to make Ezula's family understand how much he loved Ezula but yet again after a while of trying, two months in total he had only gotten insults from Ezula's aunt and uncle. They threw him out every time he tried to talk to them. It had gotten to the point that he had even tried to call Naomi for help but Naomi wanted to do nothing with him for a while so it was obvious she would pick up his phone when he called. Ezula had told him to stop a long time ago. But he refused. He really wanted to prove it to Ezula's family how much he loved him. Even his own parents had agreed to their love. Now only Ezula's own family was left. Kenneth was so desperate for Ezula's family to see how much he loved Ezula. He wanted them to approve of their relationshi
Chapter Fifteen" Baby?" David whispered to Clive's ear but Clive didn't make any motion. David shook his gently. " Clive wake up please. Honey please I know you can hear me. I mean it's six AM you're awake at this time so don't pretend with me please. Wake you Clive." Clive still didn't move. His eyes were still closed. His back facing David. David frowned. " So you really won't wake up huh?" David got up from bed he walked to the other side of the bed where Clive's face was facing. He knelt with his knees on the floor and leaned towards Clive to give him a kiss on his forehead. He couldn't kiss him though because just when his lips were about to reach Clive's forehead Clive decided to change sleeping positions. Instead of his side now he was sleeping on his back. David blinked, his mouth in a twist as he knew that Clive was very much awake but just toying with him. Any other day David would have had the time for Clive's games. But he truly didn't have the time
Chapter Sixteen It was Easter Sunday. Everyone was merry and gay in Kenneth's house. Everything had worked for good and things were happening just as Kenneth wanted them. He wanted to give Ezula the world and he was starting little by little. "The meat is getting grilled here!" Clive shouted excited as he walked to David who was busy with the meat. "I didn't know you were this crazy." Andrew laughed at his driver as he took another swing of the beer. He and June had been invited by Clive to come join them for the holiday. And they gladly agreed. They flew to the quiet village to honour Clive's invitation. Andrew was more than happy to see more of Clive's family. It was something he had yearned to see for a while. That and the village Clive had been fond of so much. He could see why. The place was beautiful. With beautiful people. It was very intriguing place just like the one that came out of it. It explained a lot about Clive's personality. "Clive". David shivered as Cliv
A woman is running away in a hailstorm. She doesn't even care that she doesn't have anything warm on. She doesn't even have any shoes, she's just running with her all. She runs so much until she stops out of exhaustion in the middle of the snow filled road. She is breathing heavily as she cries out from the pain that she's feeling inside. "Why? What did I ever do wrong to deserve this huh?!" Why her all the time? Why did she always have to have such bad luck in this thing called life.Why couldn't she be happy and allowed to be happy for once. Why couldn't she have her happily ever after? Why did everything have to be so difficult for her? Just as she thought she had found her prince charming. Just when she had thought she had finally gotten her happiness for once this happened. Andrew turned out to be a liar... He turned out to be just like everyone else. He betrayed her.After all the promises he made her. After all the love he had claimed to have for her. He still hurt her. She h
It was Christmas Eve, and the snow was falling thick and fast outside. A lone figure stood in the street, looking up at the sparkling lights on the houses around them. This was not just any figure, though. This was Andrew, a man who had made his fortune in the stock market, and was now one of the richest people in the world. But he wasn't feeling very rich right now. In fact, he was feeling rather lonely.He had no one at home right now. He had no family he could call his. No one to love, no one to love him. Andrew's family had been very wealthy, but they had also been very cold and distant. His parents had never been very affectionate, and they had always expected him to follow in their footsteps and become a successful businessman. He had done that, but it had come at a cost. He had lost touch with his childhood friends, and he had never really had time for a relationship. Now, on Christmas Eve, he was alone in the cold, surrounded by strangers who were celebrating with their famil
May June is a single mother living with her four year old daughter Lady and her little brother Mason.She works hard to keep her family afloat but she's so overworked that she doesn't even get the time to spend with her own family.She wishes could have just one day that she could have to just herself and her family. But she knew that money was much more important than wishes. She needed to keep working.June looked at the clock on the wall of her tiny apartment and sighed. The night shift at the diner was always the longest shift. She'd been up since 5am and now it was nearing midnight. She still had more cleaning to do before she could even think about going to sleep. She put on a smile and went over to her daughter's bedroom. Lady was fast asleep but Mason was still tossing and turning. "Mase, what's the matter buddy?" she asked as she sat down on the edge of his bed.Mason peeked at her with one eye. "Buddy?" He giggled. "I'm sixteen sis not a little kid anymore. "June shook her
