" boss! Boss! Boss! There's something you should see" a worker said while running after Melvin who was already close to exit post..Melvin halted instantly with a raised borrow, he turned towards his finance secretary who was panting profusely, he couldn't help but worry, what could be the issue again? No, the last thing he wanted was a bad news, he should at least accompany Louisa home to relax peacefully.Before the financial secretary could reach him, he sighted a couple of his board members troop in all smiling sheepishly at Louisa." Oh Louisa dear! I'm so glad you're back, the best decision we made was to make you the face of the company. Hope it wasn't too thought over there?" Said Mr Dias." Dear you look really emancipated, the food over there must have tasted bad, when will you be able to resume duty? You see everyone loves you now ,you're the new star and you have indeed come to limelight" Mr Johnson said with an awkward smile.Melvin pulled Louisa closer, then clenched his
Louisa sat akimbo behind the curtain robbing both her palms against each other." Calm down Louisa, you can do this, you definitely can, you waited your whole life for this day. Now it's time to make momma proud, do it for mum Louisa" she repeatedly muttered to herself.The sound of the speaker, cheers of the audience and the hype of the master of occasion filled her ears." Now ,it is time to bring to you, the new star whose voice you all fell in love with before meeting her, are you ready?? Texas are you ready!!!!!!!!!!"" Yes we are are!!!!!" The audience chorused.Now Louisa couldn't stop fidgeting, her heart pounded heavily and her lips got jittery. Anxiety slowly crept up her veins."Louisa are you ready ?you are about to be called upon? Go and rock the stage!" Melvin cheered " Melvin, no no,I don't know what's happening to me, I don't think I can do this , Melvin I shouldn't have nurtured such dream when I don't even have the courage, I'm such a coward what do I do now? My pa
Melvin slid his fingers in between Louisa's, while looking directly into her eyes, he couldn't take his eyes off her for few seconds, this time it lasted more than seconds, he was lost in her pupils, they both looked into each other's eyes passionately, professing their love arrongantly with their gaze."Hmm hmm hmm" the counselor cleared her throat to get their attention." We are at the end of your counsel already love birds, I could feel the heat from your burning love and desire, but do not forget all I said. The place of sacrifice and commitment. With that in mind you are good to go"" Thank you, we will leave now, we have quite alot to work on " Melvin said then he helped Louisa up and guarded her out the door.It was a short drive back home and Melvin and Louisa were surprised at how fast things were in place." Mel? Don't you think this people have some super powers?" Louisa asked sarcastically." of course they do, our happiness gives them strength" Melvin replied and they bo
" Come here Kyle!" Natalie yelled at the top of her voice." catch me if you can granny" little Kyle replied while running around the garden.Louisa, Melvin and hunter and watched how Natalie and and Kyle ran around the house and chuckled." How can he be so energetic, see him stressing my darling wife"" Your darling wife needs some exercise Dad, you should be thankful to my son, he's only making sure your wife is fit" Melvin stated while they all laughed." I cannot believe three years have passed already, three years of our unending love, and Kyle..he's just growing up so fast that it scares me Melvin, soon he's going to leave us, my son..our son--" Louisa said while staring passionately at little Kyle." Wow , wow ,wow! Honey come over here, come listen to your daughter , you see she's scared Kyle is growing so fast, and very soon he'd leave them to take a wife and then they'd be alone just like us"Natalie walked round the table to pick a chair close to Louisa, then pulled her
She plunged her head forward in front of the partially smashed mirror and effortlessly combed her fingers through her long, blond hair, pulling the elastic band from between her teeth and winding it around the locks, fastening them into a ponytail before elevating her head again. She grinned as she saw her flawless reflection in the mirror and said “what will be my reflection in my wedding gown”. When she optically examined the wall clock, which linguistically expresses 7:30am, she sprang out of her fantastical imagination.The cab was passing through the expansive coffee shop when she realized she had forgotten to eat the toasted bread she prepared and had instead consumed only the coffee on the table. Louisa might have enjoyed the freedom that comes with owing a vehicle, but she is content to ride public transportation. Cars cost a lot to run and she doesn't have much to spare.She would have taken bus but time was not on her side she opted for cab, stretching her hands to the ro
Still standing in front of his desk, Louisa raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying very hard to control her sobs.She leaned to take the brown envelope which her boss had dropped on his desk and slowly turned her back and exited the office. She could hardly lift her legs, her chest tightened and her stomach churned. She thought of Danna, her sister whom desperately dreams of walking again, her thought drifted to Alexis whom she promised to support till the end.When she got to Chloe's desk she gradually lets her self-sink into one of the chairs there.“It wasn't supposed to end this way, I was supposed to be on the stage too, I was ...this isn't happening..." She muttered lowlyChloe went close to her and held her shoulders."What did the wizard say this time around? Are you supposed to do an all night recording again" Chloe inquired.She titled her head sideways looking straight into Chloe's retina, this time she couldn't help the heavy downpour of tears, without making a sound
Louisa dragged her feet on her back home staring blank at the air, the bag of gifts she got dangled beside her eyes got teary and she couldn't resist the urge to cry."How could he do that to me, how could he deny me in front of that lady, have I not loved him in enough what else am I supposed to have done? " She soliloquized attracting the attention of several passerby.She reminisced the event with Alexis, The way he held her by the waist, his hand circled around her neck, his chuckles and laughter and his last words to her before she departed."You mean her? She's.. She’s Louisa" he said smiling sheepishly“Oh. Kay...so why is she here" the lady asked folding her hands under her breast and wore a bitchy look."Yeah.. She’s my neighbor, I mean my y friend, we stay really close to each other so we became friends" he lied.She increased her pace gradually till she started running, she trashed the gift with her inside one of the bin by the road side and continued running till she got t
Melvin had just ended a hot argument with his mother, fuming he stood up and went to the mini private bar in the executive and VVIP section of Daffodils restaurant and bar to get a strong drink to calm him down, on getting to the back to the room, he met young drunk Louisa threading aimlessly across the room.He froze for a minute, surprised and shocked as he thought she resembled Scarlett, a fast rising Star in music industries. He stood there studying her for minutes before Louisa realized someone was before her."Scarlett is definitely more poised than this" he said with a frown.He plunged forward angrily with a bottle of whiskey in his hand and a whine cup in the other hand, he stood for a while examining her face till she cried out, calling him name that he wasn't which he found highly disrespectful and disgusting.Melvin is a high stock emotionally dead, proud, workaholic 28 year old man who finds female very annoying and emotionally unstable. He has an anti-social personality
