Closer to the end. 😭😭😭
Tristan dreaded going back to the home he'd grown up in. He'd been treated worse than a slave. Spat on, abused and whatnot and he'd thought he'd never have to come back but here he was staring at the house whilst seated in the car. He'd been too excited to see Abby so he'd left his aunt Evie's house two hours earlier forgetting that Abby's school didn't let out until two pm and it was just one pm so he had to wait one hour before he could see her. His phone rang bringing him out of his thoughts and he took it out of his pocket, sighed then answered the call."Hey Gwen." He said. Ever since he started following her on Instagram and other media platforms, she somehow got her hands on his phone number and had been disturbing him since then. He liked her, she was a very nice girl and all that but he didn't want to get her hopes up continuing this charade. She was just eight years old so she had no business crushing on him or any boy for that matter."Hi! Are you busy?". She asked."Yea
Cesar stood on the balcony just staring at nothing in particular. It was the last day of their stay in South Africa and they'd enjoyed every bit of it. Sun City was fun but they had to go back home and he had to go back to work.He and Ellie had gone for her check up today and everything was looking good but Ellie hadn't wanted to know the sex of the baby so he'd told the doctor to whisper it in his ear which made him smile like a Cheshire cat."You're not allowed to do that." Ellie had protested hitting him immediately they walked out of the office. "That's called cheating.""No it's not." He'd complained. "I have a right to know if I want to."She had huffed which made him smile. She went silent for a long time even as they got into the car and Warren drove away from the hospital so he turned to look at her."You're not mad, are you?". He asked. "I can unknow it if you want."That brought a half smile to her face. "Unknow it?there's no word like that." She scoffed. "No I'm not mad.
Months later “Cesar!”. Ellie screamed. "Cesar!”. Cesar rushed into the closet and stopped short when he saw Ellie holding her stomach and she was breathing heavily. He looked down at the floor and made a face. “Did you pee on yourself?”. He asked. “My water just broke idiot!". She snapped. "The baby’s coming!”. Cesar froze as he stared at her. “What?”. “Cesar!”. She screamed. Cesar jumped. “What do I do?”. “He’s asking me stupid questions!." She exclaimed through gritted teeth as she tried not to scream out. "Hospital!”. Cesar nodded and yelled for Maia to get the baby bag before he proceeded to lift Ellie up in his arms but he didn’t expect her to beat him up. “Hey!what now!”. He protested. "I'm taking you to the hospital." “I’m in my underwear idiot!." She gestured to her body. Cesar looked at her and bit his cheek to stop himself from laughing then he nodded and went to get her a dress. “I have to change first." Ellie said. “You’re cranky." He stated drily and went to
"Mama!." Miesa Devane whined just as the end credits to her favorite cartoon rolled. "I'll be late for school if you don't hurry. It's Monday after all.""Coming!". Her mother Elyon called. "Is it over?"."Yes." She replied. "Unfortunately." She added as an afterthought.Miesa blew out her breath and stared at the TV. Her favorite cartoon had ended and it was time to leave. They were going different routes and it wasn't easy because her mother didn't have a car. She was scared of driving for one reason or the other which was something that baffled Miesa but her mother had refused to tell her why so she'd no longer bothered asking.She took the remote to turn off the TV when her all time favorite Mexican movie came on so she sat back, interested again but it was that time her dear mother decided it was time to leave. She always had the worst timing.“Mimi..it’s time". Elyon said. She stopped short when she saw the movie. "What…are you watching?". She looked like she'd swallowed a bitt
"Do you like Children Cesar?”. Elyon asked as she watched him eat. He'd invited her to lunch with him even if she didn't want to but he'd not given her any chance to argue.Cesar looked up from his meal to stare at her with a raised brow. He wondered why she was asking... all of a sudden.“I do.. sometimes.” Cesar replied. "Why do you ask?.” “Sometimes? Not every time?”. She quipped. "That's an odd thing to say."Cesar let out a masculine sigh and dropped his spoon. “Are you going to start lecturing me about my dislike for children Ellie?”. He inquired. “No of course not." Elyon frowned. "And stop calling me Ellie.”“You call me Cesar”. He reminded her.”Isn’t that your name?”. She asked innocently.“It’s Cesari". Cesar said. "Besides I’m your boss.”“So?”. She blurted out.“I demand that you respect me.” He said.“Sure". She sent him a saccharine smile. "Sorry boss.” She didn’t sound sorry at all.Cesar rolled his eyes at her. “You should be happy I’m in a good mood today. That stu
Miesa and her best friend Bethany Williams were in the library reading a story book about Alice in wonderland when a thought came to Bethany. It was recess but they'd chosen to go to the library instead to read.”Mimi.” Beth called.”Yes?". Mimi looked up at her.”Do you think that.. I mean everyone is saying that you look a lot like Mr Sandoval. My mom said so herself. Do you think so too?”. Beth questioned.”Yes but..my grandpa told me that God created two people alike". Miesa shrugged.”You really believe that?”. Beth arched an eyebrow.”I do." She nodded then she grinned. "Considering the fact that Sharon looks like you.” She said teasingly.”No she doesn’t". Beth disagreed with a frown. "I won’t be caught dead looking like that. She looks like the red queen in Alice."”Miesa laughed softly and shook her head. “Sharon is not that bad.” She objected.”And her hair". Beth shuddered. Sharon Cavanaugh was their classmate and the least pretty girl in kindergarten but she was very nice
“Hello Lyn. Long time no speak.” Ellie greeted when she picked up the phone. Evelyn laughed. “How’s my home girl doing?”. Her best friend asked. ”Fine. How’s South Africa?”. Ellie asked. ”Great! I love it.” Eve said. "I’m so so happy here.” She let out a contented sigh. "Thank you so much for everything El.” ”What are friends for?”. She chuckled. ”I’m talking about Greg. Even though you practically forced him down my throat when I didn’t want him..I’m grateful you didn’t give up. He’s the bestest thing that’s ever happened to me.” Evie, short for Evelyn said. Elyon laughed. “You’re welcome.” She'd paired her other friend Gregory up with her best friend some years ago after Greg told her he had feelings for Evelyn and though Evelyn had not liked him at first but as time went on, she saw how kind, honest and thoughtful he was and decided to give him a chance. They got married a year after and moved to South Africa after Greg's boss relocated there so they also moved there. ”How’
“Doctor, Miesa Devane is here to see you.” Her secretary informed her standing in the doorway of her office.Doctor Mirabelle Rivera looked up from the magazine she was reading in surprise. “Miesa Devane?”. She wondered what the little girl wanted and hoped everything was fine. "Is she hurt?". She asked with concern lacing her voice.“No ma'am." Her secretary shook her head. "She said she has something important to discuss with you."“Let her in". Mirabelle said. She dropped her magazine wondering what the little girl wanted. She hoped it wasn't something life threatening though.Three seconds later the door opened and Miesa walked into the office and closed the door gently.“Good morning Doctor.” She greeted.“Morning Miesa". Mirabelle smiled at her. "Sit please.” She gestured to the chair in front of her desk.Miesa sat down grateful she was tall enough to look at doctor Mirabelle in the eye. “Um.. you’re not busy are you?”. She asked.“No of course not Miesa. What is it?”. Mirabell
