ParkerSchool had already resumed and to say I was happy to be seeing Amanda would be an understatement, I was ecstatic. Ever since I asked her out, there was this noticeable glow around me that my mother even saw. She had asked me times without number what was responsible for it but I just didn't want to tell her quite yet.Our relationship was still very young and I didn't want to announce quite yet until it was strong enough. I knew no one in school knew about it and I loved it that way. Amanda was one girl I didn't want to joke with. She meant so much to me and I knew I'd be the greatest fool if I hurt the love she had for me."Mom, I'm off." I called.As usual, dad had gone out already. He was working really hard to get our family back on track and for that, I would continually be grateful to him. We were better off than how we came at the very beginning and i owed it all to my parents."Hey love. You're off?" Mom asked, walking out of the kitchen.The sweet smell of freshly made
Eric's POV(Amanda's father)"Reservation is all booked sir." a voice said.Eric looked up at the direction of the voice and discovered it was his secretary, Jane who had finished with the reservations at a resort in Romania where he would be spending a week long vacation with his wife. Eric wanted to get everything concerning their travelling done on time as he didn't want any delay in their plans."Thank you Jane, please mail the details to me." Eric said."Right away sir." Jane said.Eric never took no for answer. He always had his way and anyone who thought they could challenge him will only have their self to blame. Asides this, Eric was a drop dead handsome man. His light brown hair which had grown in length over the years was usually tied into a low man bun. When he smiled, his dimple was prominent. He used girls and discarded them easily but when he loved, he loved hard. The only woman he had ever loved was his high school sweetheart and now his wife.Jane left soon to do as s
"Hey darling." Charlotte smiled.Eric had just walked into his apartment to see his wife taking care of things that really didn't need taking care of. She was always so hard working and he vowed within himself to repay her whenever he got the chance That was the only way he could reply her for all the love and devotion she had for him."Hi love, how are you?" He smiled.He drew her closer to him, kissing her lightly. He was addicted to her and it was the best addiction he could ever dream of. She was like a drug he constantly needed to survive, a shield to protect him from all his insecurities."How was work today?" Charlotte asked.She took his Jacket, placing it by the edge of the chair. Charlotte knew something was wrong especially with the way his face seemed to scrunch in concentration and fear. Eric hardly ever let his emotions out in the open but this time, he couldn't hide what was burning him in his heart."Fine... Just stressful." he said vaguely.Eric knew that she saw som
EmilyFlash back to Charlie's birthdayEmily woke up with a smile that fine Saturday morning. The source of her happiness was due to the fact that her boyfriend, Charlie would be celebrating his birthday that day and she was really excited for it.She had everything planned out already, all she needed to do was put the final touches to the preparations and it was guaranteed to be a blast.‘’Can’t wait to see the look on Charlie’s face.’’ Emily murmured.Her afro hair was tousled as a result of the constant tossing and turning she did in the night, Emily hated to admit it but she had nightmares. On some days, she didn’t but on most days, it was terrible. On those bad days, she could barely sleep and found herself wide awake until dawn and for the rest of that day, she was usually in a foul mood.The previous night was a good one for her and she was glad about this because she couldn’t quite imagine herself being grumpy today. It would speak bad of her and this was something that wouldn
'’Lord knows i’m stuffed.’’ Amanda sighed.She had eaten enough food to feed three people. Parker on the other hand had eaten like a lion, devouring everything on his plate. The quiche they had for dinner was very tasty, one of the best Amanda had ever had. Whoever had cooked it, cooked it to perfection and she couldn’t wait to have another taste the moment she got the chance.‘’I’ll like to show you somewhere.’’ Parker said.‘’Hmm where?’’ Amanda asked.She didn’t know where this mysterious place was but whatever it was, she was prepared to go with him. ‘’We’ll be taking a drive to the canyon, on the outskirts of the city.’’ he said.Amanda was excited to hear this. She had heard so much about the canyon and she couldn’t wait to see what it looked like. Parker was happy over her excitement. He was always happy to see her excited and he secretly plotted ways by which he could make her more happy.‘’Thank you Parker. You really don’t know how i’ve been longing to go out.’’ Amanda sai
"Amanda i need to tell you something." Emily said.It was the lunch break, a week later after Amanda had the drive date with Parker. Ever since that meeting, they had found a way to reconcile after sharing their views on what they want. They had come to an understanding and Amanda was quite glad that she had someone like him who was very understanding. She didn't know what she'll have done if he wasn't there for her."Okay darling, I'm listening. What's going on?" Amanda asked.She could see a look of confusion and hurt in Emily's face and she knew that something was definitely wrong. Emily wasn't one to show emotions, she hid it well and if she was showing emotions now, it just meant that something terrible had gone wrong."Oh boy! Emily, what's going on?" Amanda asked.She pushed her food away, putting all of her attention on Emily. This was not the time for food, it was the time to talk and she had to do that right about that moment. Emily heaved, tears threatening to fall. She ra
AmandaTo say I was surprised about what Emily said would be an understatement, I was downright shocked. Never in my life would I ever have thought that Emily had a boyfriend much less breaking up with him. She had really been hurt by what happened and the only thing that could help her come out of the blues was just distance. She had to keep her distance away from the boy who had hurt her so much.The only thing I could do as a friend was to offer comfort and love at the point I could. After school that day, I offered to follow her home but she declined, wanting to be on her own for now. I understood, if I were in her shoes, I'll probably do the same or even worse."Hey babe." Parker smiled, coming towards me.I smiled, hugging the man I could call my own. Today, he brought his car and I knew he was there to take me home."Hi sugar." I giggled.He pecked my lips and together, we walked out of the school and towards his SUV his father had gifted him a year ago.Parker and his family's
AmandaToday was my cousin's and best friend's bridal shower and I know I should be happy and ecstatic but I'm not. What she had revealed to me the previous day left me sad, dejected and above all, angry. Tony didn’t deserve any of the things she was doing to him.He deserved to know the truth but as stubborn as Lara was, I knew she’d rather die than tell him the truth which just saddened my heart. The lilac off shoulder gown I was to wear for the party sat, looking resplendent on my bed. To say it was beautiful would be an understatement, it was beyond gorgeous.It matched with my skin, making my eyes pop out. Though it was beautiful, the situation I found myself in was far from being beautiful. I was confused, trapped between giving my best friend a piece of my mind and just spilling everything to Tony.I knew the latter option would just be like signing my own death warrant because there was no way in hell that Lara would ever forgive me. I didn’t want to be the cause of her unhapp
