~P: up for a date tonight? -P
She is seated on her bed reading a book she took from her Dad’s shelf, he always tells her reading gives you knowledge in some ways. Most successful people read lots and lots of books and he encourages her to do so.
Earlier, when she came out of the bathroom she heard her phone beeped and went to check who it was. She rubbed her hands against her towel to dry them a little and picked up her phone, she pressed the switch button and put her finger on the fingerprint sensor and it unlocked.
She tapped the message icon and saw at the top chat was a text from Philip, wondering why he texted at this time, just like the last time, she tapped the message and saw he sent three texts.
~P: Hey Audri
How are you doing? ;)
Up for a date tonight? -P
She looked at the
Dimitri, Caleb, and Aiden are seated in a booth at the far end of the club having a drink together. People could be seen dancing and rubbing against each other on the dance floor. “So you’re finally joining the married men group?” Aiden asked after the waiter had brought their order and left. He took a swing from his bottle before settling it down on the table. “Yeah,” Dimitri answered in a bored tone. “So when is the wedding?” Aiden inquired. “Don’t know” Dimitri gulped down the whole bottle in one go, after putting it down on the table he grimaced at how strong it was. That was what he needed at the moment, maybe it would just take him out of this joke he calls a life and brings him peace...he hoped. “You don’t seem the least pleased, are you not happy about your upcoming marriage?” Caleb asked observing his cousin’s mood.
“I know you know you wouldn’t even try such,” that look wipes off Audriana's face, she knows she can’t even try such a thing. It wasn’t even about her parents getting mad, but they would be scared...like her Mum, she can’t afford to let what happened the other time happen again. She still feels bad for what happened. “I know and that’s the problem, my guilt will eat me up...not a daredevil like you” she poked Sofia's side. “Yeah, yeah...but you are aware marriage is a lifetime thing? But wait… will there be a divorce? We agreed on no divorce, remember?” Sofia asks many questions. “I know, okay...I hope there will be, even though I will be breaking a vow I told myself I wouldn’t ever break” “Okay, let’s stop talking about divorce” Sofia states in a final tone “What if you guys come to get along? What if you both finally fall for each other?” Sofia nudged her friend.
She woke up and a smile made its way to her lips, she knew what today was...it was a special day for her and her special someone. Her hand made its way to his side of his bed but she felt just the sheets and opened her eyes to meet an empty bed, ‘Where did he go to?’ she wondered. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. It was just her in there so she looked to the bedside table to check the time. ‘Eight am’ it says. ‘Maybe he is in the shower’ she thought to herself but she didn’t hear any noise that would indicate someone is in the shower. She sighs, rubbing the sleep off her eyes, she takes the comforter off her body and stands up from the bed. Her hair was a little messy ‘bed hair’ she yawned and walked towards the bathroom to wash her face, it was a little strange because her husband wouldn’t just leave that early since he is handing the most of the company to the
“So you say you don’t like this girl in question?” asked Caleb as he passes Dimitri his bowtie. “Nope, not even her beautiful brown eyes could captivate me to look deeper into her eyes and know more about her” Dimitri answered absent-mindedly. Caleb and Aiden exchanged the same look of surprise, and Aiden nodded his head at Caleb, indicating that he would continue. “How did you say she looked again?” Caleb asked. Dimitri paused with tying his bow tie and looks at himself in the mirror in thoughts. “Brown eyes, golden locks, petite, beautiful smile...curvy, pink lips you know her eyes lit up when she is happy or laughing, I noticed that when we were first introduced, she is quite polite and--” he furrowed his brows in a frown “wait, what the hell am I saying?” he asked in a slightly angry voice. He turned to look at his friend and cousin to see them giving him knowing looks, which he hated. Why was he saying all those things about her?
“What of Mum?” She asked when she raised her head from resting on his shoulder. “Oh she went out for an assignment that was why she told Sofia to make sure she dresses you up for this evening, Dimitri’s parent’s an-'' he was interrupted by the knock-on Audriana’s door. “Come in” “Good evening sir, Miss Audriana has a visitor waiting for her downstairs” “Name?” Kingsley asked but Audriana already knew who it was. “Dimitri Lorenzo, sir,” she replied. “Okay, you may go, tell him we will be with him in a moment. '' Kinglsey dismissed the maid. The maid turned and left. “He is here, if what you just told me is correct he will definitely love what you are wearing, your Mum knows how to captivate me with little things. It is the love I have for her that makes little things seem more” Kingsley kissed her on the forehead and there Au
“Attention Ladies and Gentlemen,” the M.C of the program said into the microphone and got everyone’s attention. “Thank you guys for coming to this wonderful Anniversary party, it is with great happiness of heart that the Lorenzo’s appreciate your appearance”Everyone clapped and cheered at that and the couple shared a kiss.“Yeah, that’s for the first couple of the night, now I would love to make a very exciting announcement, this will clear all doubts you had in the past days,” he said looking at Dimitri and Audriana then to Donald and Patricia. “I am delighted to be announcing the engagement of Dimitri Lorenzo and Audriana Bernard,” he said in a cheerful tone and there was a big round of applause.Some had confusion written over their faces, some had the look of surprise, some had the look of horror and those were Aiden, Caleb, and Sofia.
Caleb and Aiden took it upon themselves to act like Audriana’s parents, giving him tips and telling him to treat her with care and all, he was getting bored of the talks and didn’t know when he was looking at Audriana as she talked to Sofia.Sofia said something to Audriana then to the man she came with before kissing him on the cheek and leaving with Audriana. His brow furrowed at that.‘Where is she taking her to?’ his eyes followed them till they left the hall.“Are you even listening to me?” Aiden said, shaking his shoulder lightly. “You have been looking at Audri, are you really sure she hasn’t charmed you?” Aiden wriggled his brow at him.He just rolled his eyes at him, Aiden snickered.“I totally understand why you will be smitten by her, like who wouldn’t? I remember when we used to date, man! She
Dimitri walked down the stairs more like leaped down the stairs and head for the kitchen. He stepped into the kitchen and saw a blond man with his back to him.Confused, he paused ‘Wait, I didn’t bring anyone last night, did I? And if I did, I couldn’t be a man, right?’ he asked himself.The blond man obviously feeling a presence behind him turns and flashes him a smile but he instead got a scowl from Dimitri as he made his way further into the kitchen and took a seat on one of the stools.“The king is awake,” Aiden said, still wearing a smirk.“What are you doing here?” Dimitri asked, rubbing his eyes off any sleep.“Don’t you remember? I brought you home after you got your nut smashed last night” Aiden let out a little chuckle and brought two cups of coffee and placed it on the counter.
