She sat before the mirror, applying lotion on her brown smooth skin. Today was the D day and she was feeling so nervous about attending the party with Adrian. He hasn’t spoken a word since the day he informed her about the party and she wondered how she would attend the party without a proper outfit. Just then, a knock came on the door. “Hold on,” she said as she hurried to the door, with her body wrapped in a white towel. She opened the door and saw Bose and Sara standing in front of her room with excitement on their faces. “What?” She asked curiously. “You won’t believe it! The fashion goddess is here in our house, and she made your dress!” Sara exclaimed with excitement. “What.. what fashion goddess?” She asked in surprise. “Queen Saphira of Saphire’s Atelier is downstairs with your dress!” Bose spilled. “What! You mean the fashion goddess made my dress?!” She screamed in excitement. “Yes! And she is here with one of the best makeover artists here in the city. Alex, you’re
The clattering of glasses and voices was heard as they all settled at a table. “It’s such a beautiful night,” Usman remarked as he took a sip from his glass of wine. Alex smiled as she looked around the whole place which was filled with so much Glamour. She took a glance at Adrian and she could see him typing a few words on his phone. A frown appeared on her face as she saw Susan taking her seat at the middle of the table. Their eyes met and she could see the smirk on Susan’s mocking face. She wondered who this lady was and why she had taken interest in her. Not long, a fair slender lady in white dress walked towards the table with a young handsome man dressed in a royal blue suit and bowtie. “Look who we have here,” the girl said with a smile as she walked towards Adrian who was still busy with his phone. He raised his eyes to look at her face. “Adrian,” she called with a smile but he didn’t smile back. “Hey Sharon, what took you guys so long?” Susan asked as she stood up
As she walked along the crowd at the poolside, she could see the Thompsons standing at a distance with a couple. “Excuse me,” she said as she tried to walk past the few people standing in her way. She could see a few eyes staring at her but she paid little or no attention as she walked past them. She didn’t care what they’ll say about her. Not like she does see them everyday, she said to herself as she tried to walk towards the Thompsons. “Alex!” She heard a female voice call beside her. She turned and saw Sharon standing before the pool, holding a glass of wine. She stopped for a moment and frowned. She felt like ignoring her but it wouldn't be a bad idea to hear what she has to say, she reasoned. She walked towards her slowly and they both stood before the pool. “What is it?” She asked in a rather high tone as she stood before her. “Alex, Susan and I are sorry,” she said in a somber voice. She kept silent as she looked at the slim fair lady before her. Was she really sorry?
They walked into the house slowly and they could see the maids lined up in the living room as they stared at Alex’s face anxiously. “Take her upstairs and prepare a warm bath for her,” he ordered and they all nodded immediately. They took hold of her hands and she followed them up the stairs slowly. He heaved a sigh and sat on the couch as he watched them leave. Just then, his phone rang and he saw his father on the caller ID. “Son, what’s this I'm seeing all over the internet? Alex fell into a pool?” Mateo’s anxious voice sounded from the phone. “Yeah, I don't know how she got in there,” he said grumpily. “I’m glad you came through for her. I was proud to see you become her hero tonight. It seems you are about to reveal the other side of you to her,'' he said. Silence fell in and he heaved a sigh. “Father, I’m tired and I need to go to bed,” he lamented. “No, you’re gonna stay beside Alex for tonight. She needs you beside her,” he said. “What! Saving her isn’t enough, you
She opened her eyes slowly and yawned tiredly. She looked around the room and her eyes caught with the wall clock. “It’s morning already,” she muttered tiredly. She looked around the room slowly and memories of last night appeared in her head. All she could remember was her falling into the pool and how Adrian had brought her home. She could still recall being in the fireplace that night and how she had slept in the bosom of a man who would be no other person than her husband. “Adrian,” she muttered slowly as she sat up right. Everything that happened last night began to play in her head and though she was subconscious of everything happening around her, she could remember feeling his warmth as they laid together at the fireplace. A wry smile appeared on her lips and she wondered why he had done all he did last night. She was still in her ocean of thought, when the door opened and Vivian walked into the room. Her face broke into a warm smile as she saw Alex sitting on the bed. “I
She couldn’t resist the pressure as she felt his lips on hers. The moment became tense as their lips locked fiercely and he pulled her closer to himself. She tightened her arms around his neck as she felt his arms caressing her back roughly. He broke free and they both began to pant heavily with their breaths fanning against their lips. He plunged his lips into hers again, this time, in a slow romantic manner that made her body twitch all over. She could feel his hand moving from her back to her shoulder. He slid the strap of her dress off her shoulder and his arms caressed her smooth succulent skin. He made her lie slowly on the chair with their lips still locked together. Just then, the lights came on followed by footsteps and they both pulled away from each other immediately. “Oh, sorry sir, I just wanted to check if the lights have been fixed,” the man standing in front of them said nervously as he tried to walk away. “Um..yes..it’s been fixed,” he said awkwardly as he sat up
As she walked into the house that night, she yawned tiredly as she moved over to the living room. She saw Vivian coming out of the kitchen and they both stopped in front of each other. “Welcome home,” the old lady greeted with a smile. “Thanks, I'm so tired right now. Did you make dinner for Adrian?” She asked tiredly. “Yes, but he didn’t touch his food. He just came home and walked into his room,” she replied. “Really? Or maybe he was waiting for me to come and make dinner. You know how he can’t do without my food,” she said and they both laughed. “I will meet him upstairs and ask if I can prepare something for him,” she said as she moved over to the stairs. As she stopped in front of his room, she heaved a sigh and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, he appeared in front of the door, dressed in a red night robe. His face hardened as he saw her face and she could see how his countenance changed immediately he saw her. “Sir.. .should I make you dinner?” She stammered unea
The car parked carefully in the yard and they both stepped out while laughing over a few things. She looked around the yard and smiled as she recalled the last time she was here. That was the day she had caught Femi and Asa making out and it kind of brought back bad memories to her. She was glad to have forgave them as it had helped her move on so easily. “Where is your grandma?” She asked as she looked at the usual spot the old lady used to sit under the tree. “Oh, I guess she has gone to the farm,” he replied as they walked to the porch. They walked into the house and she looked around the unfurnished living room which had stayed the same since she left. “I guess she’s in the room,” he said and she nodded as she followed him over to the passage. As the door of the room creaked open, she could see Asa lying sideways on the bed with her baby bump which had become visible. She had grown so fat and her skin was so dark that she was hardly recognizable. “Asa, is that you?” She ask
