I continually try to maintain a straight face but Rosa has her way with me. I am almost never serious around her. We enjoy teasing each other , She is my closest friend asides my friend from high school; Lucas Walter. He stays in Paris and comes once in a blue moon. His dad is a best friend and business partner of my dad. Our families had Sunday dinner together once in a month. His dad and mine will have some chitchat and go golfing afterwards, while Lucas and I drive down to the basketball court in the estate . I tried not to smile until Rosa says “ both of you will make a great couple” as she starts to hum to the popular “here comes the bride song used to usher the bride in at the church weddings.” I can already picture her in her a white , simple but well laced and stoned armless wedding gown , a simple but absolutely beautiful pearl pair of earring and bracelet , her perfect styled low bun and ultimately her smile that radiates and lightens up the whole room. “ she adds . As she
I had no choice but to tell Liam the reason I left and ended things was because my mum was critically ill and needed treatment. I also lied that I had to end things with him because I didn't know how the next days, months or years of my life would look like. Where I would be and so on. I didn't want to complicate things for him hence my reason for ending things with him. Having responded to his long troubled question, I'm assured that such question will not surface anymore. We both cried like babies and bid ourselves goodnight and the rest of the week he spent with his mum. He offered I came along but I rejected. A family dinner or breakfast at the table with his father is the last thing on my to do list. Right now I really don't care about his opinion on where Liam and I stand now. I've suffered too much and if being with Liam makes me happy then I will be with him regardless of what his father has to say. You sound so confident. Knowing you as well as I do, you'll be out of town
Now I wonder why Cara felt shy and uncomfortable about expressing how I feel towards her in public . She has always been a big fan of PDA . I normally am the shy and private type so I am not so into publicly showing affection, but I will always do everything in my might to show how much I love Cara and how dedicated I am to making her happy . I walk into my office, pick up my key and head to the elevator that leads to the parking lot . I get to the entrance of the elevator and see Cara and Veronica standing there waiting to get in . “Hey Cee “Cara recognizes my voice and turns back . Veronica looks back in shock as her eyes are wide open. “Ohh Liam, You’re still around , I thought you went home already ?”She says stammering. I can tell that she’s so uncomfortable with my new habit of showing affection towards her at the office . I’m eager for everyone in this building to get the message because Cara is very attractive and that doesn’t go unnoticed by the male workers in thi
“Spilllllllllllllllllllll!”“Girl chill.” I say smiling “The only thing that’s chilling is the bottle of whine we are popping right now.” She says as the waitress strolls towards us with a bottle of wine in a bucket. I blame Liam. Now I can’t but narrate everything that went down. I blush recollecting our date especially the part where all we did was gaze at the stars in silence for God knows how long. “Someone’s blushing. This is not the Cara that strolled in month’s back. This is a whole new one and I like her better. With the way Mr Johnson is going, we just might be hearing wedding bells very soon.”“Slow down Veronica! The walls have ears and he hasn’t even asked me out yet.”“I don’t care. I want the whole of Ireland to hear. Knowing my boss, he likes to cut to the chase. He might just skip that part and ask you to marry him.”“I’m out.” I say dragging my chair out from the table.“If you dare stand up from that seat, I'll chop off your legs and feed them to my bunnies.”“The
Laura’s class teacher calls and says a certain Miss Cara is here to pick Laura . I am so glad Cara and Laura love each other and connect so well. “Thank you Mrs Stacy , I asked her to help me pick up my little Princess , I have very pressing issues to attend to.” I say. “Ohhh Mr Johnson , Laura was extremely happy to see Miss Cara, she ran towards her when she heard someone call her name , she looked up and saw Miss Cara , I’ve not seen Laura that Happy in a long time , she hugged her so tightly then hurriedly started packing her bag-pack . I had to stop her to reconfirm first before letting her go with Miss Cara even though she already filled the pick up information booklet .” “Thanks a whole lot Mrs Stacy , I will ask Laura to bring you something in appreciation, Thank you again for looking out for my Little princess.”I drop the call and FaceTime Cara . She picks the video call and I see the two most important people In my world so glad to see me . “Hey Liam, Hey Daidi.” Cara a
CARAI step out in a thin strap dark green silk dress.“I’m not sure I want us to go out for this date anymore.”“Why?”“Because I don’t want anyone looking at you. You look breathe taken. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe after setting my eyes on you. You are an epitome of beauty. You, the dress, the heels. I might just end up one knee’s tonight.”I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone in this estate can hear my heartbeat. The dress is doing exactly what I want it to do. The see-through beaded heels is gorgeous. Liam handed it over to me earlier today with a few other items I’m yet to know the content. He suggested I wear the heels tonight. I like how he mentioned he wasn’t insisting I wear it and that I can always go with any other option. “Are you okay?”“Yes, yes I am.” I say flushed.“Thought I lost you there.”“You look clean as always and very handsome.”He places his hand on his chest feigning shock and then bows in appreciation.“For a complement you get every second, everyday,
“Good morning sweets.”“Good morning baby. It’s so early.”“It felt like I was dreaming so I had to be sure this is for real.”“Hey boyfriend.”“Good. It’s real. Sorry I called so early. Blame it on my rush of adrenaline. I’ll see you in the morning.”“See you soon baby.”I am so happy. I’ll have to branch at mother’s place to tell her the good news when I go pick up Laura later in the day. From the bathroom, I hear my phone consistently buzzing non- stop. I hope Laura is okay. I pick up my bathrobe and stroll towards where my phone is laying. It was a picture of me and Cara from yesterday on a blog with the caption ‘Billionaire’s college sweetheart back in town and caught seen in his arms.’ Most of the messages coming in were screenshots from the blog asking me if this is true. Cara was looking so dashing in the sexy green dress she was wearing. It wasn’t revealing yet something about about the dress was screaming hot. I ignore all the messages and head back to the bathroom. I’m no
“Are you excited for our girl’s night with grandma?”“Yes.” Laura says.I was so happy when Liam suggested I go with Laura to her friend’s birthday party last week. The stares were a bit disturbing but the height was when one of the mother’s walked up to me saying I’ll never be able to take Flora’s place no matter how hard I tried. After putting her in her place, I sat down and had a long and deep thinking. I don’t have any intentions of taking Flora’s place in either Laura or Liam’s life.I made a friend who over head everything the mean lady said to me. She told me not to listen to her and that she was Flora’s very good friend. Which made me realise why she would say such a thing to me. We were supposed to have our girls weekend last week but Mrs Johnson had to travel for a job so we moved it to this week. Unfortunately Liam had a last minute meeting holding in Croatia.“Cara. It’s so nice to see you. Thanks for the love you show to Laura and My son Liam. They are both so happy. Y
