It was late at night and everywhere seemed ridiculously hot for no reason. Miriam walked towards the switch to put on The fan because she was tired and ready to retire to bed but the loud beeping of her phone caught her attention. She sat at the edge of her bed before picking up her phone and sliding the answer button. "Doris?" She said adjusting the blanket on her lap. "Sorry for calling this late girl but I can't wait to hearken about your date with Mr sexy!" Doris muttered happily."Common, can you stop calling him that?" Miriam nested expressionlessly. "You know the truth that Carlos is damn sexy! Remember when we went to the beach for a fun day and he was shirtless? I mean even the sun was appreciating God's gift. You even talked about it one time when you were drunk and wasted!" Doris said. "That was a slip of tongue!" Miriam defended. "People confess that alcohol always brings out the genuine truth in a person and I agree," Doris muttered yet again. "Trust me!" Miriam mutter
Everyone looked like they had fun and a great buzz at Henry's party but the little boy seemed to peek otherwise. It was definitely a memorable birthday but he seemed unhappy! It was already late and the guests had already left for their homes.Miriam was clearing the tables while Henry sat at the far end with a frown masked on his face. "Who do we have here? Wait, it's the celebrant!" Carlos said, crouching down to Henry's level."Is that a frown on your face? I thought you would be excited as you rip off your gifts one after the other, why are you sad champ?" Carlos asked, shuffling through the variety of gifts.Carlos soon found the gift he was looking for, he smiled before dropping it on the desk in front of Henry. "Why don't you open it, you might be happy to see what you have been wishing for!" Carlos said grinning from ear to ear."I'm sorry uncle Carlos but I don't think what I wish for can come in a fancy gift!" Henry said. "Why? You can tell me about it and if it is definite
However, Gina was sitting on the expensive parlor cushions gawking at the Huge and magnificent television that displayed a tv show. She was so impressed and engrossed in the show that she hadn't noticed one of her house workers who had been standing in a halt position for ten minutes. "Madam?" The maid slowly called with trembling hands. She was frightened to her bone of what interrupting her boss's relaxation time would cause but she sighed in relief when Gina offered her a smile and an arched eyebrow. "Well, I have set the table for dinner Madam!" The lady muttered."Oh, Alright, what about Carlos! Is he back?" Gina asked, admiring the new nails she had fixed on today."No Madam!" The maid innocently uttered. "Alright, you can go back to whatever you were doing!" Gina said, she glared at her phone before picking it up from the table. She swiped and tapped on it a few times before placing it to her ear. 'We are sorry but the number you are trying to call can not be reached, please
"This is an engagement ring! Are you planning on getting a spouse soon Carlos? Wait, were you going to have a secret wedding without your mother in it?" Gina asked more clearly, she arched an eyebrow while waiting for her son to maybe deny it. She gawked at her son's face keenly waiting for him to speak but Instead, he let out a buff. Gina suddenly felt fear flow all over her body. What if her son had really gone far as marrying that human girl? "It seems like you have gone mute all of a sudden which seems odd and dubious. One of the workers found this in your clothes, what do you have to say, Carlos?" Gina asked yet again. Carlos blinked his eyes before taking a huge breath. "Well, that's not mine mother, I was just helping a friend get it! He was going to surprise his girlfriend. He had asked them to deliver the ring to me on his behalf which I accepted." Carlos said with a small smile. "So, you are not getting married? At least without my consent, right?" Gina asked with a slight
The weather was cold and chilly. Miriam had been sitting secludedly on one of the benches in church! She was the only person present in the church which was a bit unprecedented, everywhere was quiet and silent like a graveyard. A pin dropped to the floor at that moment could be heard. Miriam had been sitting in that same position as her eyes were glued to the huge Cross of Jesus Christ in front of the altar. Her attention had been focused in that same direction for what seemed like half an hour now. She was patiently waiting for Carlos's arrival so they could have a counseling session with the priest but he was yet to arrive. Soon enough, Carlos staggered into the church breathing hard. "Miriam, I'm very sorry that I'm late!" Carlos apologized while trying hard to hold his breath. "Common, you don't need to apologize but I think we need to reschedule our next meeting because we missed the section already with the priest," Miriam uttered with a tight smile. Carlos blinked his eyes
Miriam had just gotten to the office, she could notice the different stares that she got from people in the office. Few of them were clustered around gossiping while they glanced at her direction! Miriam didn't need anyone to tell her that they were actually gossiping about her which was ridiculous and that made her very much uncomfortable. She hurriedly tried to make it to her table but things became more irritating because her coworkers stood opposite her desk in the office as they shamelessly gossiped about her. Miriam tried her best to ignore them but they kept talking and staring at her. "I heard someone in the office seduced the boss by getting into his pants and right now they plan on getting married!" One of the ladies said to the other who was busy typing away on the computer in front of her. "Do you know who the person is?" The lady who was typing asked. "Not really but I also heard that she wasn't qualified for the job but because she seduced him, she was hired." Miriam
Miriam had just walked out of the company. The sun was burning hard beneath the sky but all her thoughts kept wandering around the situation that had taken place a few minutes ago, she wondered why life was unfair to her. She trudged a little bit from the company building before leaning beside one among many packed cars around. "What's happening? Is this the same scenario with Christain?" Miriam spoke gently before caressing her forehead tiredly. "Don't I have the right to love anymore?" She questioned herself yet again. She sighed deeply before bringing out her phone to place a call, after a few rings! The person seemed to have picked. "Hello, Doris, where exactly are you?" Miriam asked Running her hands through her hair. "Alright, okay!" She answered. "I understand, goodbye!" She said before hanging up. "Taxi!" She yelled as the white car with a yellow symbol of Taxi written stopped in front of her, Miriam trudged towards it before pulling the back door to slide in. The moment
It was already dark when Carlos's car pulled up in front of Miriam's residence. She was outside taking out her laundry from the lines to take inside the house when he briskly got out of the car before running in her direction. "Miriam?" He called as she turned to stare at him with a scowl masked on her face. She carried the basket of clothes to leave but he was fast to stop her."Miriam, I know that my mother had spoken to you!" He said as she stood stagnant while staring at him. "You know what Carlos? I can't believe that you still haven't told her about us." Miriam spoke. "I'm sorry!" He simply said. "I seriously understand why you did that, I know that your mother doesn't like or approve of me. I mean, how can you possibly present me as your Fiance to her when you aren't even proud of me Carlos." Miriam said before shrugging dismissively."I swear that I wasn't even thinking of that, I was only just waiting for the perfect time to tell her the truth about us!" Carlos said and M
