Zach became so worried after I sneaked out of his place the other night. So, he came to my workplace at the parking lot. He told me Christian saw me leave the building.
"Zach, I don't just want to be for your sexual pleasure." I told him"Who said anything about pleasure?Jọláadé, I love you and I want you to be mine forever." He cut into my words."Forever?" I muttered . "Yes." He replied. Maybe that was so fast.. maybe I felt insecure but I couldn't deny the fact his gaze was enchanting. "Zach..I.." I could not finish the sentence when his lips stopped me. I got to understand why he was famously known as the best kisser in every movie. I was lost in his rhythm as he kissed my lips passionately. His masculine scent was all I could smell.When he realized I was fully into him, he stopped and whispered "Dinner at my place by 8pm." And smiled.I swallowed softly and nodded.He smiled again. He could see I desperately wanted more.I stepped out of his car and watched him as he drove away.. It was that very day I heard he would star alongside Jade in the upcoming movie. Work hour was over around 6:30pm. I headed home with doubts whether to go for the dinner or not but surprisingly he was already waiting at my place in his car. "What are you doing here?" I asked as we both stepped out of our cars."Waiting for you." He replied; already dressed for the evening."How did you know my place?" I asked further curiously. "I always find my way." He replied and smiled as he moved his finger softly around my jawline.I stared into his eyes for a few seconds before he stopped my daydream with a question. "Would you mind leading the way?". He said"Of... of course.." I stuttered.He smiled and followed me in as I led the way. I offered him a seat and promised to be ready in the next ten minutes.I took a cold shower and dressed up in a wine evening dress; looking all glammed; picked up a clutch purse and headed back for the lounge."I see you guys have met" I said as I joined the conversation. " Allow me to officially introduce to you my best friend." I said."Yes.. We've met. Never knew she had a friend" Zach replied."Yeah, everyone thinks so." I replied.Jade smiled. "Anyways, looking forward to working with you soon."Jade added and they exchanged handshakes which I strangely felt so uncomfortable. Perhaps, I was only being jealous. At first, I had thought the dinner would take place at his apartment but to my greatest surprise we went to a restaurant which has the most amazing view by the window, wine , desserts, intercontinental dishes and finally on our way to his place he got me roses.I was certain it would happen again just like the other night . Even with all the doubts I couldn't tell him to take me back home until I got to his room and it all happened again. He was the kind with very sturdy muscles that makes a woman yearn for more.Perhaps, I was blinded by my desires but just for that moment I did not think of anything else but him. It was dawn. However, I made sure breakfast was ready while I was in his clothes.He crept into the kitchen and frightened me with a kiss at my neck.Turned me around and kissed me deeply over and over again. If I hadn't stopped him it could have happened again. I was trying to keep my head straight and be sure if we have a future together but I couldn't. He was so seductive. "Why me?" I asked him"Pardon?" He said"Out of the numerous women in your league, why did you choose me? A normal girl." I asked him again. "Because I want a normal life with you; Jọláadé, I care so much about you. You have every reason to doubt; nevertheless, I chose you".He kissed my forehead and caressed my hair.Whether it was true or not I've decided to go with the train and see where it leads.This time, I started it and he could see it in my eyes how badly I needed him. Like a loyal dog he got the signal. This happened for days, anywhere, anytime until it was time for him to go back to work for the upcoming movie.He will have to spend three months away from home; same as Jade as they were to be starred in the same movie."Don't worry, whenever you are bored call me and if I'm not available you can call Christian." He had said before he left. Before the three months lapsed, Christian and I became buddies. As at that time Zach and I haven't spoken for two months. The funny video Christian and I made that was sent to him had no reply.Yet, I kept my cool hoping he'll reply to those messages someday..There are days when Christian would have to take me out, wipe my tears anytime I told him I missed his stepbrother.Three months were finally over and the released date of the movie had been announced.Yet, there was no sign or call from Zach.I tried to call Jade but her number was never reachable..Few weeks later, I stopped going to his house since there was no one there.. Jade got my text message and replied "so sorry dear. Work has been so hectic. Will call you later."..Still there was no sign from Zach.Called his brother; I got the same response. Then I thought maybe I was feeling so insecure and I should just let him be. "He'll surely call whenever he's ready." I thought... Three weeks later, Rose and Thorns was announced to premiere at the scheduled date and venue. Christian said it will be a great idea to attend as he has promised to get us slots.We both went to shop for amazing clothes and planned ahead for the day. Maybe if I had stayed it would have saved me from traumatic stress. The day finally came, the premiere of Rose and thorns .We didn't get the chance to see Zach and Jade face to face but we could see them together like couples. I could almost bite myself when we watched the romantic scenes they played together. It's got lots and lots of chemistry.. Couldn't imagine my best friend and my boyfriend kissing so passionately on screen.I shook it off as it was their profession to make it real.Christian saw how timid I was and held my hand. The premiere came to an end and we lost every chance we had to come in contact with them but hoped to see them back home.....I got busy with work and faced my life; hoping my prodigal friend and boyfriend will return home one day.Everything was returning back to normal until an article from a popular blog reported that Zach Williams and Jade were seen to be dating.Some had said it was just a rumor due to the current movie they had shot together which I believed but their sudden hide and seek game is questionable.I never want to believe my friend and boyfriend could be dating. Until a latest picture was posted of the two entering Zach's apartment at night.."When could this be?" I asked myself. I had to clear my doubts.I rushed out of work without an excuse and was shocked to have bumped into Christian at the parking lot."Please take me out of here." I pleaded tearfully. It was obvious he had something to tell me but it could wait.I walked into Zach's apartment. It was so noisy; sounds of loud music coming from his room.I climbed up the stairs to his room. The door wasn't locked. I peeped and found t
Nothing hurts more than to be betrayed by those you trusted; even if your foe go against you it won't really hurt because you are notexpecting their favor.>>>> Success and achievements were all over my head. Accomplishing my lifetime goals had become my daily hunt. Who cares what people will say?. I am still a young lady with a lot to execute; my future and value can not be decided with my story.My head was held high above the rumors and people's opinion about me.Sure thing, their judgment does not matter.I realized I had been so weak and got swayed by my emotions easily.Maybe I should not have depended on whatever the moment brings or what the future has to decide.I should decide my own fate..Fortunately after long years as a personal assistant; Mr Richard thought it was time to pass the baton to someone who can continuehis legacy as he was ready to migrate with his family to the United Kingdom.I found a message in my mail that morning. I rushed out of my apartment and l
The sky was blue and nothing fits so perfectly than a day off work. I stood by the window with a cup of tea; reminiscing on how Christian had my birthday so much fun. Cakes, the heels, dishes prepared speciallyfor me by his chef, a tour to the beach at night and pictures. He was a perfect gentleman, although he might not be that allperfect but he made my day worthwhile.I chuckled as I recalled some of the crazy things he did until I remembered the very night I went into his bathroom unannounced.I recalled what I saw but shook it off immediately."That's not right." l said to myself as I walked away from the window.My cell phone rang. I picked the call."Hello Bella." I said"Hello ma, There's an emergency."She uttered quickly.>>>>I followed a nurse who led me into the intensive care unit.I looked at the poor woman; she was pitiable. I sat close to the bed and called her softly."Mama Adanma.""Aunty." she called with her local accent."How serious is it?" I asked"Stage four
I was curious to know if Christian saw it while I sat patiently in the cafeteria.His face could not hide that he was there as he returned with a cup of ice cream and pie for me while he settled with a cup of whiskey.Who orders a cup of alcohol at a time like that?"Are you okay?" Instead he replied as if he didn't hear the question.How's work?" He asked."Fine." That was awkward."The project is finally over, right?"Why was he asking questions?He looked cute as he hid his emotions behind those questions."Christian!" He raised his head and I saw jealousy written all over his face. I stared at him, eagerly waiting for him to spit it out."Jọláadé!" Finally!."I'm worried about you."He blurted."Why?""Because I care about you." And that was it, stuck in the web of step brothers."I..""I don't want your emotions to be taken for granted." He cut in.The thought of me making a fool of myself filled my mind."What if he was being sincere with the role and dialogue?""Have I made a
I jumped out of bed in my pajamas and drove out of the compound. l arrived at the hospital filled with Press waiting outside the building; the gist makers. I found my way into the hospital without calling the Press attention.l enquired from a nurse about Zach who was even excited to lead me to the ward. She must be conversant with the internet gists.I found him unconscious in the VIP ward with bandages around his head and legs." How was he able to get here?""A good Samaritan." The nurse replied.“Please can I see the reports and diagnosis?"The Nurse left and returned with the report. "drunk?" That won't be good for his reputation after I had glanced through it."Yes ma'am ""Thank God they are mere injuries.""In no time, he'll recover.""Can you conceal the drunk aspect of the report? His agency or anyone else must not know about it."She was a bit reluctant but eventually agreed after I had credited her bank account with thesum of one hundred thousand.The director arrived a
My life seemed kinda perfect, right? Maybe it was; maybe it wasn't.It was no longer a secret that Zach got engaged to a common woman. His agency had thought he acted out of stupidity just for the press. Yet, when they realized it was not a gimmick some of his deals got terminated.Terrible, right?What was I supposed to do? I didn’t see it coming… getting so much attention, and my pictures boldly displayed on several pages and blogs. Thinking about it, he was already living the life… the fame and all. Why did he move on with the proposal when he knew what was at stake? I asked myself almost all the time. Or was it just a publicity stunt?That can't be true. I felt it… His eyes… The moment was so real that I could reminisce over and over.However, work has been flourishing ever since the release of the movie. We gained more wealthy clients. It didn't just end with the business tycoons, even politicians were keen on investing.Therefore, I could say I owe that part of my success
She said it and before a blink of an eye the rumor was everywhere.It disgusts me when I see these wannabe queen bees and upcoming content creators take advantage of an ugly situation just to gain views and followers.I got back home very late and made something light for dinner.Dinner was over; I had a cold shower and wrapped myself.My phone buzzed; Zach was calling;“Hi… did you miss me, already?” I teased.“I'm at the door.” He mumbled.I hurried to the door and let him in.“Hi…” he greeted; catching his breath as I shut the door. He was wearing a short and an oversized hoodie with sunglasses.“If you are trying to disguise yourself, you've done pretty bad because you only made yourself look more suspicious.”“Oh my!” he exclaimed childishly. He took off his sunglasses and the hood hiding his face.Finally, he noticed what I was wearing; a white towel. He struggled to act neutral.We proceeded into the bedroom. He slumped on my bed like one who is tired.I sat before my dressi
Sunshine…rain…happiness…sadness…It's been weeks of emotional rollercoaster; nevertheless work has been fine.Three weeks of refusing to see or talk to him; forwarded his calls into voicemail and would listen whenever I wanted.During that period I had the advantage to visit mommy Enitan's children; I wondered how they had been coping as they had been on my mind.They were staying with a relative in another state who seemed to be doing a good job by taking care of them. However, a mother's love is incomparable.As much as the saying is true with most people, for me it was otherwise.Ever wondered why I haven't mentioned family, because to me family is restraint; to my dream, purpose and self-esteem. I wondered what power they thought they had to choose and write your destiny. They believe they are always right. On this fateful day, work had been so hectic; from one meeting to the other; evaluation, reviewing reports and making new strategic plans.My table was loaded…I was in a
