The book is coming to an end, what are your thoughts so far?
Give an option of doubt…*****Putting the phone back into his pocket, Mike turned to go back to Liza and that was when he saw her, watching him with a dazed look.“You heard everything, right?” Tiredly, he asked her, unable to hide it again.Liza nodded slowly.“I am sorry, Liza, but it is not what you think. I can explain, okay?” Mike was worried she might misunderstand.Again, Liza nodded slowly.“I am sure you have a reasonable explanation Mike and I promise to listen without judging you.” Liza acknowledged softly.Relieved, Mike nodded as he walked to her.“Thank you. I promise to tell you everything without hiding a word.” He embraced her soft body to him, knowing that he needed the warmth.Liza accepted his words and actions with a smile as she returned his embrace.******The following morning, Liza and Mike walked out of the old building with Martha who was holding tightly to the purple eyed, immensely bruised Tom.His left eyes were almost closed and Liza feared he might nev
We all deserve genuine love… ****** For long moments, they looked into each other’s eyes with trusting eyes that suddenly turned passionate. Mike’s eyes flared with a knowing light and Liza gave an unconscious gasp. Mike grinned as he lightly pushed her to continue walking to the car! “You always seem to be surprised every time I make my love and passion obvious, why?” He had always wanted to ask her. “I don’t know, Mike. Maybe because I never truly believed you could really love me, so I am always surprised when I see the evidence of it.” She admitted softly. Mike did not say anything to that as he opened the door for her to go in. Then he circled the car to join her and only then did he turn to look at her. “But that’s bullshit, babe. I have been showing you nothing but my love since we started dating.” Mike reminded her. “I know, Mike, but I guess it was just hard for me to believe and understand. I mean, I grew up without knowing much love, so how would I have recognized i
A good ending for all… ****** Two weeks Later, Mike sent a bunch of flowers to Tom’s room at the hospital, having heard he was responding to treatment and would soon be discharged. He had also heard that with the help of his father’s team, his father was flown to London to be with his son at his critical moment. Mike felt for them but he knew they would get through it and survive together. That’s just life! It will throw you but if you are willing to stand again, everything will work out. Liza had heard him on the phone when he was ordering for the flowers and she had thought the flowers were to wish Tom a quick recovery and to also cheer him up. But only Mike knew that the real reason he sent the beautiful bunch of flowers was to silently thank Tom for indirectly bringing them back together. By pointing out some home truths to Liza, he made her see what she should have known, ‘That Mike would always be there for her’. For that alone, it shows the guy had some redeeming trait
Her Ruthless Angel Bellamia “So, will you be taking it?” Looking round, Liza realised two things at once; first of all, she was in Mike’s office and secondly, he just asked her a question and with the way he was staring at her, obviously wondering what was wrong with her, he had been made to ask the same question, several times, with her gazing into space. Seeing that he wasn’t pleased with the way she kept him waiting for a response, she quickly gave a brief but fake smile, while nodding her head like a confused lizard. With an impatient sigh, he smiled and asked again. “You are taking the position right?” And that was when Liza realised she had goofed again. She honestly didn’t understand what he was talking about. But who co
Straightening from his desk and the paperwork in front of him an hour after dismissing Liza from his office, Mike stood to take a stretch by moving close to his window which gives a breathtaking view of the London city at night. Gazing into space, his thoughts were brought back to his meeting earlier with Liza and he shook his head wondering why on Earth she gave such a puzzling reaction to his news instead of jumping for joy as expected of someone of her age. He had thought at twenty three years of age, she would be excited with a promotion many would break their teeth for, especially when she would have had to wait at least another three years to get such an opportunity. Mike was damn exasperated. “Honestly! Women! You never can understand them.” And now, with Liza acting like a bimbo who didn’t understand any word he wa
Angry and confused, Mike watched as the guy Liza called Tom left. He moved to follow him but he stopped his movement as he saw Liza limp to her car. He knew there was no way he would leave without checking if she would be fine. Although he didn’t understand any of the things that just happened, he could deduce from the conversation he heard that Tom was the guy’s name and he’s Liza’s boyfriend. A boyfriend that’s angry because Liza was late to their dinner date. A lateness caused by him. Oh grief! He couldn’t help but feel guilty even though he knew he had nothing to feel guilty about, he was only doing his job. But why! Why didn’t she say something? She could have told him she had a date. He isn’t a monster that he wouldn’t understand. Remembering how she described him to her boyfriend, as boring and all business, he shook h
Forgetting he was expecting Liza, Mike gave an angry bellow. “What?” Opening the door tentatively, Liza quietly walked in. “I’m sorry sir, I can come back if you’re busy,” she said. Trying to compose himself, he went back to his desk and motioned her to sit. “No, I’m not busy and I’m sorry for bellowing in that manner, just that I had a lot on my mind.” He said as he tried to give a smile. Liza gave a nod as she sat to face him while wondering and praying he shouldn’t mention the promotion. With everything going on with her presently, she hadn’t given the promotion a thought, so she’s yet to decide on what to do. Taking it would be the best move for her career but a promotion as the PA to the boss meant more work and less time for herself, and that might not be good for her relationship
Entering her flat that evening after a hectic day of trying to avoid Mike, Liza gave a smile of relief when she saw that Tom wasn’t anywhere around the flat. She honestly couldn’t stand his trouble again, not with the way she was feeling. In fact, she prayed he should not come back…But as soon as she said it, guilt replaced the thought and she grimaced. Of course she wanted him to come back. He was the only one she had, the person who truly loved her. Having lost her parents at an early age, to be raised by an indifferent aunt who only cared about her painting and pets, she had grown with the determination to not only find a good career that would give room for other things, but to also find love and marriage. So yes, she wanted Tom to come back but in a better mood than the previous night. Maybe they could talk; maybe the ta
