Mimie looked at her watch laughing from a joke the janitor whom she had now enjoyed his company made.She had almost forgotten about the book signing, she had been occupied with the plate of well baked pastries that she had been served,a smile had appeared on her face when she tasted the coffee, her facial expression had clearly defined the coffee, it was the best she had tasted in a while.The pastry shop she always patronized had deadbeat coffee but she had no option to always drink as she didn’t have the skills of making one herself.She thanked the janitor whose name she still doesn’t know and asked to be excused as she had to return to the venue for the book signing.The janitor smiled as he stood up walking out of the pastry shop with Mimie following behind. They get to the auditorium and find people already trooping in. The janitor walked her to the entrance and turned back to take his leave after they’d both exchanged goodbyes.Mimie walked towards the arranged chairs and sa
They all arrive at the coffee shop and take an empty seat with Rio taking the empty seat close to Anita.Anita, who felt uncomfortable how Rio had sat near her, dragged her chair towards Mimie pretending she had something to tell her.Dragging her seat, she takes note of the beautiful environment that surrounded the coffee shop. She was not the kind person to admire restaurants or coffee shops but this coffee shop made her stare.It had pretty flower pots that were placed at every corner of the shop and there were drawings that captured a family that had coffee together.Anita, being a lover of family and gatherings smiled as she looked at it. She couldn’t remember the last family hangout she had, her parents were always on her case, attacking her with words at every chance they got, this was when she was still adamant on becoming a writer.“Hmmm” she heaved a sigh as she remembered her last family outing. They had all gone for dinner and her dramatic mother had to bring her career c
“What the hell was that?” Mimie shouted at Anita as soon as Rio drove off.What in god's name was that? Mimie asked, looking directly at Anita’s eyes.You’re deviating away from the plan.This was not part of the plan. Mimie, no longer able to control the level of anger she felt, began to scream and cry.“ You’re a liar!” She said as she grabbed Anita’s hair.“Heyy!” Get a grip of yourself, We both know I didn’t kiss. You were here and you saw what happened. “I didn’t kiss him back,” she added.You saw what happened so cut me some slack please.How was I even supposed to know he was going to kiss me, I had no control over the event, he grabbed my waist and before I could say anything he locked his lips on mine.I’m as surprised as you are about the whole situation.Mimie, who was pissed about what she just saw, gives a deaf ear to Anita who tries to explain what happened and how none of it was her fault.“You had better end everything you have with Rio and I’m no longer interested i
Rio jumped down from his car and ran towards her apartment door. He sent it wide open and entered inside. He had found her laying on the bed as though she was lifeless.He had forgotten he held the door, he quickly ran to meet her on her bed.Gbam!The sound came from the door as he was in a rush to see her face. He had not held the door properly so he could close it quietly.The sound had made her turn to see who had entered her apartment at that time.She hadn’t locked her door when she got in, she was so full of crazy thoughts that she hadn’t bothered even with the latest happenings in her area, no one would dare leave his/her doors unlocked.He faced her when she turned to look at who had entered her apartment.She sluggishly took the keys which sat at the mini table near her bed and threw them to him.He knew what she wanted, he quickly turned the key in the door double locking it.Walking back to the bed which she laid,he dropped the keys back on the mini table where she h
The next morning, Anita woke up with a hangover and saw Rio who had slept off close to her holding her from behind.She stretched turning to see a half awake Rio who smiled at her.“Ouchhh!” She said as she held her head, she had a resounding headache that she woke up with.Rio quickly jumped up from bed searching her wardrobe for painkillers, he had expected this to happen, she had gotten a hangover due to her excessive drinking late last night.Rio found a sachet of already used painkillers, grabbing them from the wardrobe he rushed towards her and handed them over to her with a glass of water.She collected the painkillers he handed to her and swallowed it. She thanked him for helping her out and being with her throughout the night.They both engaged in small talks, they had been engrossed in their discussions, they hadn’t taken note of the phone that had been buzzing non stop.Rio suddenly heard a sound nig of sure of what the sound was or where it came from they both ended their
Anita comes up with the best way to get Rio to sign her books, sooner or later Mimie would give her parents the complete details of the information she had briefed them with.She trusted her parents to come rushing over to her apartment demanding an explanation as to why she had been lying to them over the years.Anita doesn’t bother to reach out to Mimie or address the issue at all. Mimie had expected Anita to call her and beg hams she always did when it involved her secret.She had made sure to walk past Anita’s apartment that afternoon so she could get Anita’s reaction. She knew Anita would be pissed and could do something, she knew Anita would have figured everything by now.Walking past Anita’s door, Anita sighted her but ignored her and went back to what she had come out to do.Mimie is shocked at Anita’s behavior, she had expected an outburst from her, she had assumed she would rush at her at first sight but she was wrong as Anita ignored her.Rio who laid on his reliving the
Anita returned home with a gloomy face. Stacie’s words had hit her deep down. She had opened the door and found Gracie seated on the couch. Anita had flung her bag on the bed and threw her body on it not saying a word to Gracie.Gracie who noticed her strange behavior dropped the phone she held and went to the bed.“Is everything alright?” She asked as she removed the hair that had covered her face so she could look at her face properly.Anita, lost in her own thoughts, doesn't give a response to Gracie. Gracie, who had assumed she wasn’t ready to talk, just gave some pep talks as she always did to lighten up her mood when she felt down.“All is well” She said reassuring Anita.”Don’t ever let anyone get to you, they don’t know your worth so let them be.” She added helping Anita sit up on the bed.“You’re beautiful, bold and one of the strongest women I know so don’t let any piece of trash let you feel otherwise” Gracie continued, she was glad Anita was coming out of whatever she h
Mimie’s happinesses knows no bounds as she saw Bianca drag her box leaving the house. She had managed to buy her way into Stacie’s heart and gain control over her decision.She had said some many evil things about Bianca allowing Stacie to create a room for doubt which she took over and used to her own benefit.“Check” She said as she ticked Bianca’s name off her to-do list.She had carefully drawn her plan to get Rio to herself,which involved getting Bianca and Anita out of his life. Her plan had involved devising a means to get Bianca out of his house.She had never made plans for Anita but witnessing the kiss Rio shared Anita made her have a rethink.She had to come up with a pretty smart plan to get Anita out of her way.Getting Anita out won’t be easy as she had done with Bianca . She knew Rio was head over heels with Anita. She had taken notice of how he behaved when he was around her.The coffee shop experience was enough to see things properly.She stood from her seated pos
