They sat round the table for two.
Amber smiled; when they saw the candles on the table and the bottle of her favorite wine.Rather, their favorite wine. They drank this wine after a family gathering; when everyone except the both of them had retired to bed. After they had cleaned the kitchen, they would take a bottle of wine and two glasses to their room and celebrate for a successful day gone. Nicholas would take three glasses and Amber the rest of the bottle; she always found herself in her short nightie in his arms and his legs over her, the next morning.'Really? You could have just told me, it was DIAMOND's Nick.' She said with a smile.He couldn't be more proud of being her husband right now.'It would ruin the surprise.' He said taking his menu to look at.He gave her, hers though it was right in front of her.When he gestured for the waiter, she asked him. 'Is there anything special happening?' she dropped her menu.He smiled. 'MShe sighed as the radio filled the car, she was driving and Jake by her side.Unfortunately no man cancelled, they both wanted to go to the wedding and they both wanted to dance with her.She wasn't the most prettiest in the universe, why didn't Jake think of someone to carry along or why didn't Nicholas bring Apirl?She pondered on these questions as she made a U-turn.She took a glimpse of Jake beside her.Jake had had lunch with her a week ago; he had apologized for raising his voice and he wanted her to promise him; she would not give him up for Nicholas. But Amber didn't make that promise, because she knew, it was her life that was being spoken of here. So instead she told him, nothing would stop her from making right decision for herself.Which meant it was either him or Nicholas or neither.She could make her decision at the end.He didn't even pursue the topic, instead spoke about how he was going to celebrate her birthday that was com
She smiled at Jake's neighbor, as she climbed the flight of stairs to Jake's door. She had given her boyfriend; two days space, to get over whatever he was feeling, decided to let him call first but he hadn't called or texted; so she decided to pay him a visit instead of calling.She was here now, with a cake in her hand to celebrate his birthday, which was today and spendtime with him; and have that talk they've been avoiding.'Luke, good afternoon.' She greeted Jake's neighbor by his left, as he came down the stairstowards her; she had to shift to one side, for him to pass; because the stairwell wasn't big rnough for two persons to pass at the same time.'Hello, beautiful.' Luke said as he passed her and stopped behind her.She turned to look at him. 'Hey, handsome.' She smiled. Luke was quite a charmer, quiteentertaining than Jake.'Is that cake I perceive?' He said with a smile; bringing his nose to the cake that is covered. He
Cassie had without hiding it, in the presence of Amber before he climbed into his car said; 'Finally, I thought this would never end. Staying in someone's house, when you have your own.'Maxwell had just gently pulled Cassie into his arms before Amber hugged her and went into her car.They were both happy, Amber and Nicholas decided to live under same roof as before and Nicholas was the most happiest, that out of a lot, he got to back to his house, he enjoyed with Amber.Their house.He increased the volume of the love song that played in his car and nod his head several times. Following the music and repeatedly drummed his fingers on his wheel.The only problems, he had right now was Jake and he has to continue with the restaurant.Skype couldn't be happier than him when he saw his car and then saw him bring out his luggages from the truck; Skype barked loudly inside the house; her barks could be heard from outside.Amber s
His heart skipped. There was something she wasn't telling him. This was a confession.'I love you...... I don't know if I have said that yet.' She continued; when he said nothing but scanned her face for a slight change that she might be joking.....But Amber didn't say what she didn't mean; she was not joking but something intrigued him.'Did you ever stopped loving me?'She smiled and pressed her body to his; raised her toes and kissed his cheek with the slowest motion ever before she whispered. 'No. I always have and I always will.'His hand tighten their hold round her. She turned to look him in the eye. She looked at his eyes , delicious lips; he could kiss like no other. His ticklish nose and his amazing ears. God had given her a beautiful husband, she couldn't be more grateful.'Thank you. Nicholas.' She said quietly.Nicholas raised his gaze from her lips to her eyes. 'What for, Amber?''For coming back to me.'Ra
The flowers were blooming, the sky was cool; the air fresh, the environment lively, her backyard filled with friends and her front yard filled with cars and lights were everywhere.Nicholas had requested Max make her cake, two steps cake.Nicholas handled barbecue and Lucky fixed the drinks; Susan, Cassie and Jessie took turns ushering people into the house; Nicholas allow Amber to dress up as much as she wanted.When she came down; she greeted her friends and moved on to say Hi to Amber, her mom and her grandmother, Maria came with her kids and Lucy was around with Pheobe; she smiled at her employees, her parents; some of her cousins celebrated with her, none of her niece or nephew like to miss aunt Amber's party; it was fun and she didn't feel like sitting when her friends and Nicholas insisted she sit; she was pregnant not dying.She smiled; few weeks after she visited Jake in jail; she had woken up; each day with the urge to go back to bed; she had thought
She stopped walking and looked well at the person few feet away from her, standing in this same direction.What was he doing here? He wasn't supposed to come back. He was suppose to be handling his dream job.And she is supposed to be out of the airport, hailing for a cab with her sister instead of gaping at her ex-husband.'Amber, what is it?' She heard her sister in front of her.'Nothing.' She begun to walk to meet her.She looked back, making sure she was not being followed, or maybe she was just exaggerating; she saw his back and his sides, maybe it was somebody else and he was putting on shades. Maybe......Yeah! It was definitely someone else, if he was the one, he would have moved to her....if he saw her perhaps and besides he couldn't possibly remember her after a year? No, not possible .....but how could she remember him after a year? She usually don't remember the boyfriends who didn't mean a thing to her. Maybe because his sister
She looked at her twin sister as she slept; a lot of persons until now could not differentiate between her and Jessie, because they were just too similar; she had wondered if she could one day live like Jessie; traveling the world, painting, doing exhibitions and going to exhibitions. A fun and adventurous life. Her life was equally fun; she attends conference at the head office, attend international meetings, every Saturday night; she and her friends hit the club for fun and she was back home to her dog by 11:50pm.That was fun for her.Jessie was beautiful and talented, she had cut her hair to reach the base of her neck and she (Amber) had refused because she felt her hair enhances her beauty.'Jess.' She tugged her sister's arm to wake up.The cab had stopped and the driver was bringing out her luggage from the truck of his car.'Can't I just sleep for a whole day?' She grumbled as her eyes fluttered opened.'You can if yo
Few minutes after she showered, she saw Skype walking round the front door and then she went downstairs to open it.'Where did you go girl?' She asked her.Skype just shake her head and whimpered.'Alright.''You know, you should let that dog go out a bit, a run or something.' She heard her sister as she walked through the hall.'I do that.''Oh okay!' She said before entering her room; the room Amber had reserved for her.'Alright, good night, Skype.' She stroke her dog and kissed her before walking upstairs to Jessie's room.'Amber, do you think I can get a job in the company, I love painting, I do but is it a bad thing to try other things?'Amber sat on her bed. Her father had insisted she get a job, to have something to fall back on, that painting was just a hobby but he didn't need to convince Jessie of the point he was making because Jessie would say proudly that painting was her source of livelihood. 'Of course not,
