"Did you cook this?" Leone asked, pulling the flask towards him.Gabby smirked in response. Her charm seemed to be working. He didn't exactly accept her care but he didn't refuse it either and that was enough for her at the moment."I still don't know what you like so I just asked Maria to prepare pasta." Gabby explained, attempting to open the flask."Stop", Leone commanded with a wave of hand."Let's just eat out.""You can't keep eating out. It's unhealthy and you know it." Gabby scolded."I know this place. It's not junk and they're good." Leone simply said, standing up.Gabby looked at this man who turned out to be her husband. Minutes ago, he acted like it wasn't a big deal for her to bring him food and now, he was rejecting it again."Aren't you coming?" Leone asked just before opening.Was he inviting her?"What about the food?""You can take that back with you. Let's go." Leone commanded."But I want to eat it." Gabby insisted.Leone turned around and glared at her. He hated
Gabby swirled and swirled in front of the mirror as she admired herself in her wedding dress.She remembered how it all came to this. To her, it constantly felt like a beautiful fairytale. Her childhood friend whom she shared all her sorrows and joys with was finally going to be her husband soon.Someone who knew what she liked and what she hated and someone who could understand her was whom Gabby always wanted to marry. She couldn't be more grateful that he also admired celibacy."Seems like someone is happy" Her soon-to-be mother-in-law came into the room."Anyone who has a man like Richie would be happy" Gabby replied swirling again." I'm so glad you picked this dress for me. Nothing else could have been more beautiful" " You're welcome love. But you know,with the way you're glowing, anything would be absolutely pretty on you"Just then,the door swung open " Hey bitches! What's up?" A dark skinned looking girl with curves that could make a man drool walked into the room. She h
*RICHARD'S POV*How am I supposed to tell them the truth? What will happen if they find out what I was actually doing?"I was wanking"Oops! I didn't just say that out loud, did I?I think I saw a smirk disappear on Josey's face as quickly as it appeared."Well,well,well. I can clearly see that the poor thing is starved. Gabby, do you see the cause of your decision?"A blush crept up Gabby's face and stayed there as she hung her head."No no,it isn't her fault. I should have controlled myself. I respect her decision"" Sorry, my bad! I shouldn't have involved myself with lovers. I'm a Singleton after all" Josey said shutting the sorry behind her.I moved closer to Gabby and held her chin up forcing her to look into my eyes."You look beautiful. I'm using all my self restraint to not take you on right here, right now"I paused for a while and was about to flatter her again when she spoke up,"Josey should never have seen you like that. Richard, that was embarrassing"I let go off her c
*AUTHOR'S POV*Gabby had picked out a purple and black lingerie which stopped just below her ass and revealed everything else in her upper body.She took some pictures and sent it to Richie.Richie was in bed with Brittany when the pictures came in."So we can't go one more round? Please?" Richie begged." I'm already really sore. Aren't you ever satisfied?" Just then, his phone beeped.He leaned over to the bedside still ans picked up his phone. It was Gabby."Arghh! What does she want now?" He reasoned but opened the message anyway.There were several pictures of her in a sexy black and purple lingerie.Brittany noticed how Richards jaw were left wide open after picking up his phone and it got her curious. She sat up straight, pulling the sheets along with her."Is that your fiance?" She asked, the shock louder than her voice.Richard quickly got up and started dressing up."I've gotta go now""Hold on! Simply because she dressed up and sent a few pictures in weird poses, you wanna
*Gabby's POV*After the narration, I realized that I had been a terrible friend and here she was, sticking her neck out for my happiness.I couldn't even bring myself to apologize as I felt it would never be good enough. I had been such a jerk and so insensitive. How could I bring up her relationship status during our argument?She still loves Joseph so much that she couldn't bring herself to date any other guy. Literally, all she did was flirt. Joseph had been her Mr. Right. I really hope she understands that Richie is mine too.The only difference is he has a little flaw. But no one was perfect now, right?I jolted out of my thoughts to see my strong-willed and high-spirited best friend break down in tears in front of me again."Josey!" I pulled her into my chest, stroking her hair and her back at the same time. I couldn't bear to see tears in her eyes, especially after knowing that I contributed to her agony to an extent."You probably think I'm weak now" Josey began, pulling aw
*AUTHOR'S POV*The following week, Richard was done with all his work and so he moved out and returned to his own house. Nothing made Josey happier than seeing that Josey Stephanie leave her side. Most times, she couldn't fathom why a would-be mother in-law would agree to stay in the same house with her soon-to-be in-laws before the wedding took place. She thought it to be a shameless act.Gabby's wedding preparations were even more intense as the date drew near and everyone was happy about it.Well, everyone but Josey.She just hated the names Stephanie and Richard.Finally, the wedding day came. Josey was supposed to be Gabby's maid of honor and she couldn't back out just two weeks to the wedding, plus, she didn't want to disappoint her best friend.If getting married to this scumbag really made Gabby happy, then she'd gladly support her."Hey, you okay?" Josey asked touching up Gabby's makeup."Yeah I'm good. Just tense"*Yeah maybe it's because you're getting married to a scumba
*GABBY'S POV*I felt blank. No anger, no pain, no regrets. Just blank. Josey had gone to call off the wedding. Right now, I don't even care what people say. I won't cry. Not today.I knew my family would be in pain when they learned what had happened but if u acted normal, everyone would get over it much quicker.Taking off my wedding gown, I changed into black jeans and a white top and was about heading back downstairs when my door swung open."Sweetie are you alright? Why did Josey make that announcement?" My mum asked suffocating me within her arms.Don't cry Gabby. Don't cry Gabby. Don't cry Gabby.I recited this in my head like it was a poem."I'm fine mum. Richard isn't coming." I replied coldly and made an attempt to leave the room."But why? Is it something we need to reschedule? We could have just asked them to come another day, right? Do you have any idea how much money we put into all this? You can't sit and think, 'Oh yeah, I think it'd be fun to call off my million dollar
It's been two weeks since Gabby's wedding was called off. Everyone had returned to their normal lives. Josey kept flirting, Mrs Presley rarely came home & Mr. Presley was home at the end of each day.Gabby couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong with her. Not even Stephanie had called to apologize for her son's infidelity & betrayal. She began to believe they were all in on this. And to think of the fact that she literally worshipped Stephanie.Josey's instincts never failed her. She didn't like Steph not Richie and now she clearly understood why."Hey honey. Could I talk to you for a sec?"Damn! She had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice her dad walk in. "Well... I...""What's up? Are you okay?" Her dad asked taking off his jacket and hanging it onto the coat rack." Yeah sure. You sound pretty serious.""I am. If it were up to me, I wouldn't make such a foolish decision. See the thing is, your mum wanted such a lavish wedding for you. You should know h
