THIRTY-FIVE
“So, how was work today?” Christopher had Starr for the first time since they had been together, rinsing the large shrimp. “Hectic?”
Starr shrugged as she stirred the tomato sauce. “Not really honestly. Sorcha came around, and all we really did was hang,” she replied him as she stirred at the shrimp he was frying, to decide it was time to shove him. “Yours? Productive?”
It really gladdened Christopher’s heart that she was warming up to her sister. He thought it was beautiful. He shrugged also as he replied, “I guess. I was able to put down some words.” He smiled.
Starr frowned a bit as she collected the frying pan Christopher had stretched to her, pouring the tomato sauce in it and stirring. “Some words? Not some sentences?”
“It isn’t that easy, Love,” Christopher quickly defended himself. “And I wasn’t feeling that up to it, so I did a lot of deleting and rewriting.”
Starr nodded, not replying him as she stirred the spaghetti into the sauce c

It was a chill morning, Starr was curled up to Christopher, his arm wrapped around her and her cream duvet covering them up. It felt so relaxing, they didn’t want to get up. “Aren’t you going to work today? Christopher had asked Starr as he tightened his grip around her, pulling her closer and unintentionally sniffing at her hair. He did like how it smelt, like a fresh atmosphere.Starr shook her head before she replied, “Nope.” She let herself enjoying his warmth, listening faintly to his paced heartbeat.“Are you sure? You don’t seem like the kind to miss work, till bedridden,” he had commented with a smile, causing Starr to chuckle.“Well, I have another reason to now,” she replied him.Christopher shook his head as he made to stand up, saying, “But not on my watch dear. Off to-” He didn’t get to finish his sentence before Starr pulled him back to bed, quickly topping him so

After a while of simply lying down, Starr felt the strong urge to use the toilet. She didn’t say anything to Christopher as she lifted her head from his arm – that was beneath her neck, she began to make her way to her bathroom, deciding it was better for her to also shower. “Where to?” Christopher had asked her, adjusting himself so he could be resting on his elbow, and seeing her.Starr shrugged before she replied, “Want to shower.”“Okay, I am coming,” was Christopher’s reply.Starr didn’t mind and didn’t reply him as she walked into the bathroom, standing under her shower as she released herself, before turning on the shower. She had her hair up in a bun, hmming a tune as she showered.It wasn’t long into Starr’s bath before she felt hands go around her waist. It was sudden to her, she was about to turn and hit the person square in the nose, but then quickly realized it was

Starr’s day was going fine, it had only started but it was already going fine. She had a bright smile on her face when she walked into the firm. Everyone could tell things were going fine for Miss. Hart. She used to always come around with a frown and strong face, but things had switched up and changed. She had a different type of glow and a wide smile on. She forgave little misbehaviours, letting them off as warnings. She still stood for disciple, but was more lenient with it also quite understanding and forgiving.“Good morning ma,” Amber had greeted her when she walked in, following right behind her as she walked to her office.“Morning Amber,” she had greeted her with a smile, causing Amber to almost scoff out. It was so evident she was happy.Amber found her jealousy for her, slowly become happiness.

It had been long the whole family had seen Starr, and it had been long Starr had seen the whole family. She was pumped. She had left work early enough, so she could go get dressed. She also packed clothes, so she could sleepover and leave from there to her workplace the next day. She had called Christopher and told him about her plans to have meal with her family. He was glad, and willingly let her go have family time, sending his greetings to Sorcha, since she was the only one he knew.Starr took a deep breath, before she adjusted her kaftan gown, knocking gently on her mother’s door. She felt her heart beating faster at the thought of seeing her family together once more. Were they going to still be the same? Or had things changed so much? She couldn’t help thinking to herself. It didn’t take long before the door opened, her mother looking at her with widened eyes. It almost like she had seen a ghost. Her mother had a glow on. She looked better than when l

Nothing had really changed around the house. It still had its African touch to it. It still had their dad’s effect here and there, his pictures still up. Starr smiled, her heart warming up. It was like his presence was still present, watching over them. She felt safe. “So, how has life been for you Lace?”Solace nodded with a smile as they walked past the sitting room into the kitchen and dining room. It was nicely lit, the right white lights reflecting off the marble white tiles. “Fine,” Solace had replied.The kitchen and dining room hadn’t change, but yet Starr still felt fresh in it. It felt like it was the first time she had been entering it, yet feeling so home. “What about work?” she had asked lace as she sat down on one of the wooden chair surrounding a round wooden table, where all other chairs were too.“Pretty good,” Solace had replied her as he sat down too, their mother dropping everything

Starr felt way better the next day. She hadn’t left early in the morning. But rather took her time. She didn’t really have anything doing. She took her time getting ready for her day. Solace had upped and left early the next morning, leaving only herself, her mother and Sorcha in the house. “Good morning,” she had greeted her mother when she had gotten out of the bedroom in the morning.Her mother was munching at a banana as well as tapping at her phone, when she had walked in on her in the kitchen and dining room. “Morning dearie,” her mother had replied her, switching off her phone to pay her attention as she asked, “How was your night?”Sorcha nodded as she sat opposite her, pulling a banana away from its bunch as she peeled and took a bite. “Good,” she replied with a smile. “Haven’t felt so home and comfortable in a long time. Feels like I shouldn’t return to my house anymore.”

Starr got in and settled in, relaxing on her chair as she pulled out her iPad and began to go through her emails. She didn’t care.Emma was beginning to feel awkward outside, while Amber was enjoying it all. Before, she was on a thin line between indifferent and hate about Starr, but all she felt was love for her at that point in time. She was beginning to love her job, and the drama that was coming with it. “You can go inside now, Miss West,” Amber had said to her with a warm smile, trying hard to not roll her eyes. She didn’t know much about Emma West personally, but from how she had been acting, Amber knew she was going to be problematic.Still busy on her iPad, Starr didn’t look up when Emma walked in. it was until Emma cleared her throat that Starr looked at her, noticing her well for the first time. She was a tall blond, her waist as thin as the width of an A4 paper. Her legs so long, they made her trousers looked so nice on. She was

Christopher had been trying to put his imagination to works at his home office, when Valentine’s call came in. For some reasons, he sensed it was news about Emma. “What’s up?” he had asked Valentine the moment he picked the call, frowning a bit.“How are you?” Valentine had first asked him, making him nod in response.“I am well,” he had replied. “You? How are you?”“Good.”“SO, what’s up?”“She was spotted at Starr’s company today. Rumor has it that, she spent time within and Starr was around. So, there is a huge possibility that she might have spoken to Starr.”Chris moved uncomfortably in his seat. He didn’t like the sound of that at all. He had worked his ass off to get Starr to be his, he didn’t need some crazy ex who hurt him to come ruin a relationship he was building. “SO, you are not certain?”&l
