Mirabel's PovWalking in to a set table with the pack of beer which Dexter had settled on the table as he made his way to the chair close to my mom.To which we said the grace before we began eating."How's stella?" I asked.Mom smiled, "Stella Black" she let me know, how excellent I do my job every passing day at the firm" mom sat straight in her chair, her eyes glittering with excitement."Oh that reminds me baby, I wanted to share with you our new product we created.its like a deluxe suit" she said turning her attention to Dexter.I smiled at how excited mom sounded about this new product. "Sounds pretty good, babe. You know I'll definitely try it out." He said"And how about passion fruit filling or strawberry filling for dessert" Mom asked,I threw my head back and laughed, Dwane quietly chuckling beside me as well due to the funny memory we had associated with strawberries."So Dwane what's your plan other than being the CEO mom asked, bringing in the dessert."None mam, I
Mirabel's Pov.It is naturally soothing to wake up to the soothing orchestra of birds or to the early morning rays from the shining sun. I had imagined waking up to any of the aforesaid scenarios today and not to the banging sound of utensils or the smell of burnt bacon and cheese.Another bang of silverware and stream of curses had me jumping out of bed. What was going on?Slipping on my bedroom shoes, I yanked the door open and walked down the hallway only to break into a light cough as smoke assaulted my lungs.Jesus, is there a fire outbreak happening in the house?My unspoken question was answered a second later when I saw Dexter sprint out of the Kitchen, almost crashing into me."What's going on?" I asked as I rushed over to the drapes in the living room and quickly parted them. I then opened the windows and balcony doors to allow the morning breeze to sweep out the smoke."A little cooking disaster, I dare to say." I would have noticed the unusual pink on his cheeks if I hadn
Mirabel's Pov"Are you sure it's okay for him to come pick me up, I miss you baby" I asked Dwane as the cab drove me to the mall and I decided to give Dwane a call even though he had a business meeting with one of his dad's shareholders in his company , to be honest, I wasn't thrilled about not seeing him for almost two weeks now"Baby, I'll be back as soon as I wrap up with the meeting, I now my intended stay was two weeks but I was cut up in something and yes Its okay for my driver to take you back home" he said to which I nodded with a sigh ."I love you Mira, give him a call as soon as you are done " I nodded again."Okay, I love you too" I smiled and got out of the cab and walked towards the mall building with no sight of Dorcas"Yay, what a beautiful way to start my day" I muttered to my self sarcastically as I walked"Bel" a familiar voice chirped in from behind, turning I discovered it was Dorcas"Morning, sorry I'm late " she whispered and unexpectedly she pulls me into a tig
Dexter's Pov."See you tomorrow Nate man" I said making a bee line for my door since I gave all my workers a day off since it was my birthday and someone was at the door"Sorry I'm late my love, happy birthday" Susanna said, staring at how beautiful she looked, i captured her lips with mine while unbuckling her seat beat she wrapped her legs around me as I traced sweet kisses from her lips down to her neck causing her to moan.Pulling away before things became intense even though I didn't mind "Its fine babe, thank goodness that you are here let's head to your house so I can show you around and definitely show you my favourite spot" I said wiggling my eyebrows as I took her around After an hour of making out and laying in each others arms."Baby" "Yeah love" I replied."Can we go over to the house I forgot my phone and you know I could have any call at any moment" she said.Shaking my head in disapproval "But it's my birthday baby, you don't need your phone, you only need me just th
Mirabel's PovI tried to look suprised and act like I didn't know about his proposal, "he proposed to her so cute" people around her said."Oh, what a beautiful day it is" i murmured as I made my way into the kitchen to call Dwane."Hey" he said coldly"Dwane what's wrong I've been calling you , for a while you haven't been picking up my call" I asked.After some minutes of rumbling from his side "Ive been busy Mira" he said"Too busy, for me" I asked again not liking the tone"It's not about you right now Mira and you know that" he repliedI decided to not pester him anymore maybe he was tired from all the meetings he has had"Dexter just proposed to mom" I told him"Yeah right nice joke Mira" he said laughingAfter a minute of silence from my end to show how serious I was about it."Wow you are serious, how, when, that's great congratulations to them" he said"When do you want us to get married b" he asked"Really" I said"Yeah, i want to have a baby with you and build a family tog
Mirabel's Pov.When I wake up I walk downstairs but discovered that i am alone in house, then I see a note on the fridge "i wasn't feeling too well so I asked Dexter to take me to the hospital, Dorcas will be coming over with regards to the wedding preparations. Im leaving everything in your hands love mom" I read.After what I overheard yesterday I guess I owe her this much for accepting me as her child. Looking at the time and it was after nine I still wondered if last night was a dream or I imagined it all. I know that when you're tired your mind can lay tricks on you maybe that's what happened but seeing as I had a wedding to plan seems like it wasn't.I walk into the kitchen looking for something to eat. I find some frozen yogurt and chips I know that I could make something to eat but for some reason I don't want to.I sit eating for a while before I heard thet front door open and close, I didn't move expecting it to be Dorcas "Sister!" a high-pitched voice says.I look to my ri
Mirabel's Pov.Hailing down a cab, I decided to dial his number and waited full tilt for him to pick up.Leaning against the windowpane of the cabDwane picked up on the third ring."Hey love, how are you"Twiddling some strands around my finger, I said, "Hey b, I'm fine""Does my queen need anything" his soft laughter reverberated from the other side."Nope not really" I say"Um... so, earlier,I wanted to tell you something right but are you home?"Willing myself that it was time to let the cat out of the bag concerning my admissionDwane began, "nope I'm not home, will be coming this weekend though" he said shocking me The sound of something being knocked over and a heavy thud disrupted their conversation.Knowing the noise came from his side.I said, "Is everything alright?"Over the phone, she heard a lady whisper harshlv. "Who is that on the phone?"Over the phone, she heard him whisper hrshly, "What the hell is wrong with you?"On hearing that well-known chirpy voice again, I fel
Dexter's Pov."Eww, baby. Stop with the sloppy kisses on my stomach it tickles." Susanna said with a play shudder which made me burst into laughter.The ringing of my phone drowned out the her the next sentence she made. I almost ignored the call so as not to ruin our little time together, but when the ringing continued, I snatched the phone from the coffee table.I caught my breath when i saw the caller ID. Why is she calling me?Being given the chance, Susanna snatched the remote from my hands with that opportunity and changed the channel of the Tv to one of her sappy series."Pick up the annoying thing or hang up, I'm trying to watch something and sleep love."she said"Just a second, and you better put off the tv before I get back" i warned and jogged down the stairs to kitchen"Mirabel," I called out gently though I was anything but calm. "Are you OK?" I asked when I didn't get any response.'Mr Dexter , this is Dorcas.'Great."Hi, I'm sorry, you called with Mirabel's phone so I
