TAKEN six
"Its just you?" Stella asked with a hint of delight on her face,her cheek puffed into a big smile and her eyeball grew. She looked around again and peeped over Allen's shoulders to check if Marcus was behind him. He wasn't.
"Its just you!" she exclaimed cheerfully and drag him into the house turning the key behind her. "Where's Marcus?" she managed to ask"He would be home in an hour time" Allen bitterly said
"That's such a long time" she laughed and packed her hair up. "Allen.." she called him and moved to him, he moved back so she wouldn't touch him and held out his hands to stop her.
"What? You haven't made a decision yet? You have no choice Allen!"
"No one is going to know?" he gathered all his courage and asked
She became giddy all of a sudden "Definitely!" there was so much assurance in her words and tone. He was certain they bo
TAKEN seven He couldn't miss his appointment this morning neither could he tell Allen or Stella who he had an appointment with. He just needed to be there, and yes this early. It was this important. After getting home late at night, he met Stella sleeping but he never tried to disturb her, what was he supposed to do again, lure her to an unwanted sex? No, it was also a stressful day for him so he needed rest. They both had a peaceful sleep. He didn't say much to her this morning too, he had woken up early and he didn't dress up for work. He was just casual. It upset Stella he didn't tell her where he was heading to. He didn't like the mood he left Stella this morning and he knew he would definetely be questioned when he gets back but he needed to meet up this early and he also knew how proud Stella would be if she finds out what he was up to. He could feel her rage presently at home, but he promised himself to buy her a bribe on his way
TAKEN eight Stella drove into Rose's compound with full speed and as she got down from her car, she dashed to Rose's room which was wide opened. Sometimes she wondered why Rose husband doesn't come home by this time. "Rose!" she shouted her name with more urgency and shock glaring at the position she was on the bed. "He's just an house boy!" she spat. Stella was happy she didn't see the boy naked. If she had, she would literally beat him out of the room like that. She always told Rose not to deal with people that would disrespect her, but her friend wanted young blood anyways. Thank goodness it was just Rose's upper body that was naked and the boy was under the bed spread with only his head popping out. "A boy with big property... girl you just ruined the moment, why didn't you even knock?"Rose grunts. Privacy was not included in their friendship rules, this wasn't something to hide. Rose probably just said it
TAKEN nine Let's make a baby? That sounded ridiculous to Allen's ears. This was someone who left the house earlier,furious at her husband. Giving unneccesary reasons why a baby shouldn't be involved .What changed?Allen stared closely at Stella, he wanted to observe if she was being sincere about this. After all this was the woman who wanted him on her bed and threatened him not to back off since they were still going to work out. They had to work. Marcus sober state didn't lighten up immediately. Stella had walked in on him too soon he wasn't sure how to react. And what she said? They should make a baby? If she was serious about this then there was something wrong,he remembered vividly his instructor assured him she would agree to it , he argued that she won't, although he didn't know why it got her upset but he was too angry at himself for taking an advice that is ruining his marriage Basically,
TAKEN ten He wore a neutral gray three button suit, a modest bright red tie and a white collared shirt. He had groomed his short black hair and was also wearing a closed toe oxford black shoe with gray pants. It was not his first day at work but he needed to give a smart impression. He was the new boss, he had to set standard. He moved out of his room to join his brother outside the house, Marcus was beside his car together with his wife, she was knotting him up and they were having a discussion. Recalling what transpired between them yesternight didnt pester Allen much, as awkward as it sounded, he was cool with it. Stella's new found friendship with him is giving him much confidence and liberty, he was just bothered at the pretence Stella gave his brother. He felt sorry for Marcus and also didn't like that he was the problem between the couple. They both looked perfect together. When was this going to end an
TAKEN eleven Just immediately Marcus left the office, Jenifer's friend strolled into the office taking another look at Marcus before turning to her friend with big eye balls widening with a glimpse of awe."Are you kidding me?" she squeaked at her. Jenifer raised her brows not understanding what her best friend was talking about. But she definitely recognise the look on her face when she turned back to check Marcus out. "Oh no don't go there" Jenifer said repeatedly warning Jane. She knew how Jane can be and that look confidently told her Jane wanted her to try Marcus out. When Jenifer finally got out of her abusive relationship, all thanks to her best friend, Jane has been looking forward to seeing her with another man and wouldn't let her rest if a masculine figure waved at Jenifer. Jane even went further by putting Jenifer on blind dates, all was a disaster though, but she wasn't giving up. "I'm already there" she laugh
TAKEN twelve Getting to his fitness class, Marcus wondered why he was here the second time in a day. He pondered on Jenifer's sudden call this evening. He was not expecting it. There were no classes at evening so the class was empty, he head to his instructor's office. There she sat roaming her eyes into some books on her table, she raised her head up and saw Marcus standing at the door. She gave a warm smile and stood on her feet too. "You sounded urgent" Marcus eyes rolled hesitating to come in even with her welcoming smile. Seeing her on her feet he sighted the new dress she was wearing, different from the one he saw in the morning, she didn't look like his fitness instructor here, but she really looked fit. She was a work of expertise. "Well, you could just take a sit and know why you're really here Mr Marcus" she said and after giving it some thoug
TAKEN thirteen They both sat on the same table and placed their order, Allen began eating hungrily without minding if Flora was interested in the food or not, he wasn't going to eat something this better at home anyways, so he took his time, not leaving any grain of the food out. Flora watched her boss eat, it wasn't mannerless though, but it was obvious he was very hungry, she wouldn't blame him. He uses the strength he was supposed to save for later to scold her for not dressing as he wanted. Allen looked up to see Flora still staring at him without taking a bite from her food. He stopped eating and gently rubbed his mouth with the napkin on the table. He wondered why she stared at him this awkward. "You don't like it?" he questioned her preference of food. "You can have it if you want" she bluntly said to sound rude on purpose but Allen gladly dragged her own serve of the food and dig his spoon inside. She didn't know how to react but she was
TAKEN fourteen It was the first time Flora was in the CEO's house. She has been a good employee in her work place and someone Marcus liked her but their closeness didn't get to the level of bringing her home. Why should that happen anyway?.She stopped her car and turned to Allen. "Thank you"he said the words she wanted to hear. She gave a short smile and an approval nod and drove out of the house. Allen turned to the house direction,saw Stella standing by the door step, he checked his wristwatch and saw that time was fast spent. She was with a worrisome look and wrinkles form on her forehead. He walked to her and stood in front of her. " Where's Marcus? "was the first question she threw at him. He wasn't expecting a squeeze on her face as she always seemed happy to see only him at home. She looked behind him to check for another incoming car but she didn't see none. " Who was that?"she asked. "Marcus ha
