Vino spent the rest of the evening trying to get Skylar alone with him, but it seems the power of the universe was against him as everything seemed to go against his wishes. Somehow, she seems to get past him freely without him having to talk to her privately.
There was a limit to how much he could take, especially seeing her right now dancing with a smile on her face as she gazed into Gian's eyes. He could never believe Gian could do this to him. He had wanted him to use his eloquent words to persuade Skylar to forgive him not trying to make her his...
“Are you even listening to me?”
Vino came out of his thoughts as soon as he heard that whiny voice. He knew who it belonged to and hated it every minute. He would like to have his woman back, not liste
“Skylar Evans. Are you going to spend all day in bed?”Skylar grunted as she rolled over to the other side, trying to get herself comfortable on the bed as she listened to the distant voice in her dreams, which sounded just like her mom.“Skylar.” The door to her room burst open suddenly, causing Skylar to shoot up in shock as she turned to stare at her mother, rubbing furiously at her eyes, trying to rid the remaining sleep in them.“Jesus, Skylar. Just how many drinks did you have last night?” Mrs Evans replied, already rushing to her daughter's side as she placed her hands on her forehead, trying to gauge her temperature.“Thank goodness. You seem to be alright. Fre
Skylar rose from the bed the next morning, sluggish and scared of going to the office. What if someone noticed her stomach? Will they know that she is pregnant? Oh God, Skylar,I don't think I'm doing this___ Skylar called to her reflection in the mirror as she took in her disheveled hair and big bag under her eyes. Just like always, her insomnia had come knocking at her door and she had spent the night thinking about her predicament.Skylar was about to call the office to tell them that she was sick and wouldn't be able to make it there today when her phone ringing tone filled the silence of the house. She rushed out of the bathroom to go pick it up, especially as she recognized the caller.“Hello, good morning,” Skylar called gently into the phone. She was careful of being aloof lest her worry show in her voice.“Hello, Miss Evans. I will request that you be in the office early today as you need to attend a business meeting with me thi
“ Hey, baby girl! Why? what's wrong with you?” Paula paused as soon as she heard the sadness in her voice. She had called because she wanted to give Skylar the good news, not to meet her still sad.“I'm good” Skylar replied, trying to voice lightness into her voice while she turned to stare at the enormous hospital which stood in front of her eyes.She couldn’t imagine herself going into such a hospital, she could get lost in them. This was another reason Vino and she could never be together, he was born rich but she__ she had to work for her money…“Are you sure you're okay? Hope this isn't about yesterday?” Paula asked Skylar again as she wasn’t convinced. She knew Skylar could be lying to her right
As soon as Skylar stepped into The Thompson’s Art Centre the next morning, she knew all was not well. Being greeted by Cynthia’s hard glare as she gossiped with two young ladies who Skylar recognized as they both work in the legal department.She walked closer to greet Cynthia while plastering a smile on her face” Hi! Cynthia, how are you? Good morning” Skylar said as she rested upon the table while turning to smile at the two ladies who moved away from her like she was some sort of pest with a contagious disease.“ So as I was saying. Can you believe her? Who would ever think she was sleeping with the boss. It's no wonder she got the job. I've wondered how she managed to get the boss to accept her. I mean she didn't even qualify and the boss was so tired that night and sad that he couldn't find a worthy
Skylar sat speechless in the car seat while Gian drove her to God's knows where. She still couldn't wrap her head around when she became Gian's girlfriend. She never accepted to be his girlfriend, Vino was the only one she would ever love.Skylar turned swiftly to steal glances at him while his hands grip the steering wheel in a tight grip with a broad and happy smile on his lips.Noticing her gaze on him, Gian turned immediately to Skylar, it was already too late for Skylar to avert her gaze. Skylar smiled in embarrassment. She couldn't believe he caught her staring at him.“ Like what you see, Babe” Gian asked her, winking at her as he burst into laughter as soon as he saw the embarrassed expression on her face.
Paula turned to Skylar as soon as Gian had driven off leaving the two of them standing by her car. She folded her hands on her chest and turned to glare at her.“ Now tell me everything. What's complicated in your relationship with him, that you can't tell him you're not interested” Paula asked Skylar as she walked around to her white Benz, getting into the driver's side while she waited for Skylar to make herself comfortable beside her.“ I never told him that I wanted to date him. Hell, I didn't even accept to date him. He just assumes and acts on that. Everything seems like a dream to me. One minute, Gian is on the floor kneeling and pleading with me to date him and another, I'm being bundled off into the car to God's knows where” Skylar laments as she puts her head in between her hands in shock. she couldn
Vino stepped out of the plane with Elise by his side, he reached out to take his carrier bag and pulled Elise closer to him, he called something to his pilot who nodded at him before he turned and walked down to the room where he had glimpsed Skylar standing with Paula laughing at something she said...Initially, he wasn't interested in things like this__ He would have liked to have remained in the office, getting busy with work and depending on it to take his mind off Skylar's dating Gian. Speaking of Gian, he saw him perched on one side of the hotel, facing a canvas as he drew a boy who was standing in front of him, an excited smile on his face as he was happy to be his model.“ Look who we've got here. I never believed you would come” Paula called excitedly as she walked closer to smile up at Vino as soon as she saw hi
Elise watched as Skylar stood up from the room as she rushed off in the direction of the toilet, a gasp escaping her lips as she tried to know what was wrong with her. Hope this wasn't her imagination or could Skylar be pregnant? No, she couldn't possibly be pregnant with Gian's child, that was too early and if it isn't Gian then Vi___No, that can't be. Vino couldn't do that to her. He knows how much she is in love with him. She has been hoping that one day they will be together only for this to happen.Elise stood up from the dining and excused herself to go to her room. Her mind was in turmoil trying to know what was wrong with Skylar. She wanted to creep down there and ask her what was wrong with her or was it something with the food? No, this is a normal delicacy they are all used to, not the local one.
