I walked out from my dressing room holding my grey tie in my hands going straight for the mirror. I stood in front of it and started fixing my tie on my neck.I freeze as my eyes connected with my phone which was lying on my bed, my mind going back to last night.“ After I had sent a text to Valerie, I had left immediately to the garden to wait for her, unknown to me, that I was being followed by Tianna. I had sat on the rock looking out of the night, the flowers dancing in my feet until I felt a presence behind me.“ Victor. Woah! This is lovely ” Tianna had exclaimed immediately as my eyes caught hers. She ran around the garden with her hands spread around her, a beautiful smile graced her lips.
I stood at the window watching both Victor and Tianna walk to the car. He held the passenger's door open for her and she got in, giggling at him as she gently swatted him on the shoulder.What's going on? Are they going on a date? Isn't Victor going to the office?“ Hum! What's your business with his problem or are you jealous?” My subconscious exclaimed as she glared at me but I paid her no attention. I was beyond angry right now.After what he had done last night, he still had the gut to go out with her right in front of my nose. I thought he loved me. I thought we were meant to be together. I thought____“ Here you are Val, aren't you going to the dance studio today? Others have left&rdquo
I stared at the parcel on my bed with a frown on my face. What am I to do? I couldn't possibly wear this myself, right? I mean I'm no female.Oh God! I wished I had thought this through before rushing into the mall to get her this dress. Knowing how we are right now I doubt she would accept this from me. Oh! Victor, you could be naive at times! I screamed at myself while running my hands through my hair in frustration.“ Victor, darling. Are you almost done?”I shrug out of my thoughts as a wide smile spreads through my lips having found the perfect solution to my problem. God! Why didn't I think of that? I could have saved myself the headache of worrying.“ Almost, Mom but you can come in,” I called to my
I stared at Victor like I couldn't believe what he just told me. I mean I could never believe that. Was this one of his plans? Is he trying to get me in his bed? But____“ Please, Valerie. I need you to help me?” His strain voice cut through to me as I turned to stare at him, his eyes were narrowing and he kept breathing profusely. Is he really sick?“ No, Valerie. You can't believe him. Have you forgotten how he lied to you?” My subconscious screams at me.“ I'm sure you don't expect me to believe that, right? I mean you have a fiance. Surely it will be best if you go to her. Morever______''“ You think I don't know that” He screamed at me, his blazing hot as I saw th
“ Beep! Beep!! Beep!!”Fuck! I swore in anger as I rolled off the bed, trotting to my office where my phone was ringing non stop.“ Who the heck calls someone this early in the morning without battling a beat. I growled angrily as I picked up the phone only to discover that it was my brothers calling.“ Hello, brothers. Finally, remember me?” I called sarcastically into the phone. I can't believe they were calling me today after promising to come speak to dad now it was too late.“ Hello, Victor. I see you still have a sharp tongue” My big brother, Michael exclaimed as I could hear his laughter through the phone.“ I still do. I'm so angry at you guys” I glare at him, taking the phone with me I stroll to stand in front of the window.Michael heaved a loud sigh before he continued“ It's not my fault. The kids are still in school, I'm only waiting for them to be on break then we could all come over to New York”“ That's not an excuse” I scoffed into the phone, angry at him“ You're only
The soft snore coming from Victor who was sprayed tiredly on the bed beside me caused me to turn to take a last look at him. My heart contristed painfully as I looked at him. I loved him. I wasn't even shocked by that. I mean, I knew I was still in love with him and after tonight...I don't think I would ever stop loving him. I drew the sheet closer to my body as I turned to take in the time by the bedside Alarm. It was some minutes past six. I could go home now. Only Maria will be awake by this time.I sprawled one leg off the bed and tried to get up wincing at the slight pain in my thigh. The pain evident from the number of times Victor had taken me all through the night.Watching him sleep so soundly and at peace cause me to blush red. I never expected any of this to happen but I couldn't say I regret it___ I would rather have my first time with Victor than with anybody.Shrugging out of the thoughts, I strolled back to his office to gather my clothes. I got into them quickly as I
“Mom, I’m home” I called into the house, surprised at its silence. It was like no one lived here.I stepped into the house and walked through the deserted sitting room still confused why the whole house was quiet like a graveyard.I was about to go up the stairs to my room when Maria stepped in from the kitchen, she was holding a cooking spoon in her hands.I immediately smiled on seeing her and turned away from the stairs going to meet her at the kitchen’s entrance. I was happy partly because I was finally going to see Valerie again after last night. I couldn’t contain my excitement as my mouth widened in a happy manner.“Maria,” I called with so much enthusiasm in my voice causing Maria to raise her eyebrow at me.“Isn’t today a wonderful day?” I asked her stepping into the kitchen while she followed behind me. The smile dropped from my face as soon as I registered the empty kitchen. No one was in the room except for Maria. Not even the woman I was dying to meet.I turned to Maria i
I sat gazing out of the tiny window in the maids’ quarters. I was bored out of my mind. I had changed out of my dress and was now donning the maid uniform. I was reluctant to go out since I wasn’t sure what my duties were anymore and it was getting late.I could understand why Mrs Thompson banned me from Victor’s room but still couldn’t understand why she would ban me from the kitchen. Could she possibly think that I could poison them? I would never have done that to them even if I was paid. She was like a mother to me. They were all like my family.I turned to look at my phone lying on the bed. I picked it up and opened the messaging app to check if I had missed any message, something I had been doing the past hours but there was none. Except for the message from Lavelle apologising for being a bad date
