Maid To Be (Book Three)

It was one thing to be woken by the sound of birds chirping by your windowsill, and another, to an empty space right next to you, especially since you retired for the night with the body of your Fiancé wrapped in yours. Fiancé? Where’s Cameron? I sat up in bed at once, wanting to peer out the window, but was met with a table loaded with lots of food, right at the bedside. A bowl filled with fruits on one side, and a plate of ham and egg on the other. There was a bottle of sparkling water to go with, accompanied with a glass of orange juice. The sight had managed to put a smile on my weary face, with form soon tearing off the bed, moving closer to the mobile table. There was a note sticking out under the plate. Amidst all, my heart calls and yearns for you. It’s you and I on this Journey that seems puzzling, yet, in you I find every certainty. I love you, always. Cameron. Since when did he turn a poet? And only then did the door get pushed open, and in walked that figure I

I saw that figure hurry over to me, with arms spread out, a wide smile on her lips, her squeals broke out into the area, earning a few sneers from the lots of people who had just touched down after hours of an endless flight. She remained as enthusiastic as ever, gaze holding joy, while she pulled over to where I was. “Nia!” Ashley had crashed into me at once, the smell of an exotic mist hitting my nose. “Oh, how much I’ve missed you” She squealed, hugging me even tighter. She appeared even brighter than I expected, not after pouring her heart out a week ago, telling me how she had walked in on Nolan having sex with a girl he claimed to be his cousin. Nolan happened to be the new guy who managed to catch her eye just a couple months back. But my friend was one to heal fast. In a week time, you were sure to hear her speaking of how she had banged the spa guy, while she went for her care sessions. “I’ve missed you too” I called out, soon relaxing in her hold. “Where’s that swine

I walked into the office, only to be met with an unfamiliar lady propped by that desk side, figure stood close to him, while their eyes were fixed on a paper Cameron had laid out before him. At each second, his eyes would flicker to the computer screen on the desk, and then back to the papers spread out, while the lady sealed it off with some stamps on its pages. My utterance had put a pause to their conversation, while their gazes took in my form, and with the silence soon falling into the room, I watched the lady pack up the files, and in a second, she was making her way out the area. A smile crossed her lips while she gave a little wave my way, even going out to congratulate me on the engagement. And only then did the silence return. While that figure sat over there, remained watching me, I gave myself proper entry into the area, finally meeting that calming gaze of his.“I received your flowers” My utterance broke out, with eyes fixed on him, watching every little reaction h

The figure of mother was frozen to a spot, eyes fixed on whatever was out there, and at once, I had pushed myself forward, going to have a look for myself, and only then was I struck with the shock that befallen her. Right outside the porch, stood three figures, gazes shifting from mother to I, with a smile playing on their lips. Perhaps, a fake smile. There stood Aunt Bertha, eyes beaming on at us, like that was the same expression it held the night she sent Mother and I out her home, stating she never wanted to be a feet close to us. So, what then could it be that had brought her to this corner? And that man she had welcomed into her home, the instigator. He remained stood close to her side, that quirky grin held on his lips, while his fingers went itching at his mustache. “Hello, Nia” His voice still sent chills down my spine, with those intent fixed on me. “What do you want?” Mother called sharply, inching nearer to them. “Oh, is that the welcome we get to receive after hav

We had taken a stop at a restaurant, wanting to rid off every thought of what we had to sit through back at the marriage prep class. I still could find that irk held on Ashley's face, and even while we made leave from there, she still went on about how blunt Adriana had been, going so much into details. "Will you believe me now, when I tell you not to delve into one thing or the other?" I chuckled at her, taking a gulp of wine from the glass on the table."Believe me, I thought it would be much interesting" She let out a breath. "It was. Just not the way we expected it to be" I followed. I reached for another glass of wine, downing it at a go, and soon met with the gaping eyes of Ashley. "What are you doing, Nia?" Her voice remained low, eyes shifting form the empty glass and back to me. "Having a drink of course" "I need to keep you sober for the bachelorette's party, which is in—she took a glance at her watch—approximately an hour's time" She let out. "The girls already are
