Bark for me
"Stop being so hard on yourself." Jordan chided Alexandra, who mercilessly punched the daylight of the sandbag. Her knuckles turned purple, but she tenaciously kept going.  "I need to get stronger!" Alexandra growled and the punches grew fierce.  "Take a break already!" The sandbag was cut down to the ground by a fast-paced roundhouse kick. Kickboxing became a craze for Alexandra, and under Jordan's potent training, she mastered it in mere three months. Jordan applauded at the new milestone Alexandra reached.   Alexandra's physique had changed drastically, developing muscles and even got taller by a few inches. Jordan handed the energy drink and grabbed Alexandra's butt, squishing them like stress balls. "Your ass got bigger." Jordan teased, earning an eye roll from Alexandra.  "I know you like women, but keep those hands to yourself!" Alexandra snapped at her perverted best friend.  "My bad." Jordan laugh

Loyalty
Jonathan arrived later than usual, after taking a shower he entered Alexandra's room. Lights were off except for the lava lamp illuminating on the nightstand. Alexandra lays soundless on the bed with her eyes peacefully closed. He smiled and sat next to her bed. He wondered how someone can look so gorgeous while sleeping, with her mouth partly opened. A little bit of drool sticking at the corner of her mouth. He wiped it off using his thumb. He was startled as she grabbed his wrist. Alexandra frowned and cast open her eyes."Were you asleep?" He asked.Clicking her tongue, she lets go of his hand. "No, I was practicing for my funeral."

Jealousy
It's was the day to rid all these plasters on her body, and Dr Sanders, the family doctor, did a great job removing them. Jonathan was a little sad he won't get to feed her anymore. He will miss that lovely feeling of pampering her.  After taking a brief shower, Alexandra appeared wearing the bathrobe, busy drying her hair dribbling hair.  Jonathan offered to dry it for her and she accepted it. Alexandra sat on the bed and he sat behind her. With gentle dabs, he dried her hair, being careful not to apply too much pressure, as if tending the dearest and delicate treasure in the world. Alexandra tried her hardest not to doze off, his touches calmed her overworked brain.  "I heard your Vice President is resigning?" Jonathan asked, fiddling with her mild wet hair, inhaling the balmy smell of lavender.  "Yes..."  "Did you decide who the next VP will be?" The media made a big ruckus after the resign

Favour
Halton sat on his work desk, listening to some of the audio files Alexandra had sent. Jane Warren sat opposite to him, pretending to review the paperwork he handed her while secretly admiring how his face turned stoic as he listened.  They were distracted by Halton's phone ringing beside his Macbook.  He picked up the call without glancing at the ID. "Hello?"  "It's me...Evan." A meek and hesitant voice said.  He was taken aback hearing the soothing sound of the woman he loved. "What's up?" He asked, a smile adorning his handsomeness. Jane wondered who was capable enough to make him smile like that. Is he seeing someone?  "Are you busy?" Evan asked, nervously biting her thumb. Halton instantly closed his Macbook. "No, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly. "I have a favour to ask...can we meet up at my house?" She asked, preparing herself to hear a refusal.  Halton got up, surprising Jane Warre

Like father like daughter
"So you are my dada?" Angela asked. They were in Halton's car, on their way to his penthouse.  "Yes, I am your real dada," Halton said proudly.  "Then why didn't I see you before?" She cutely tilts her head in confusion. Before her attention moved again, playing with her favourite blonde-haired doll she named Elsa.  Although she was reluctant to leave Evan, she decided to listen to her downhearted mother.  "That's..." Halton couldn't come up with an immediate explanation, "Your mom and I separated a long time ago..." He said. "Then why are you here now?" Angela asked innocently. Of course, she had no idea what was going on with her parents or why her father appeared out of nowhere.  "I am here to protect you," Halton said. If faith was kind to him, he wanted to protect his family forever.  "But why is Mama mad at you?"  "She is mad at me because it's Dada's fault for leaving her..." Ha

Innocent Man
Halton was woken up by the bothersome beep of his alarm. He crept his hand and around the bedside stand and finally silenced it. Getting up from the heavenly bed, he scratched his bare chest and let out a droopy yawn. He dawdled towards the bathroom and brushed his teeth while still standing in the shower, wiped the wet mirror to reflect on his face, and shaved his stubble. He went inside the walk-in closet and got dressed in a black, three-piece formal suit. He skipped preparing breakfast since he will be eating at an Italian restaurant like every morning. He was too lazy to cook breakfast for himself so he preferred eating at a restaurant. After locking the door, he got in his Mercedes and drove away, after a few minutes on the road something clicked. 'Am I forgetting something?' Events that took place yesterday collapsed on him like a grenade. 'Oh, Shit! I have a kid!' Halton raced the car back home and unlocked the door, looking franticall

Tough Love
  After the long flight from Milan, Jordan landed at the London airport, sporting denim clothing with her hair dyed platinum white. She opened her phone to call Halton and pick her up but then made up her mind to call Alexandra instead. The good news of her recovery had reached her ears. Jordan had wanted to see her for weeks. Alexandra picked up the call on the first ring. "I'm at the airport, can you pick me up?" Jordan immediately asked, Alexandra must have already recognized her voice. Alexandra was back in her office after a long time so she had to finish up some meetings she missed. Finally, the VP's position was freed from that incompetent fool who dared to get leak information for a quick buck.   "Just get a taxi or something." Alexandra dismissed her, as she tried her eyes through Alan Fredrick's resignation letter.  "Bitch, I missed you! Get your ass up here!" Jordan complained out loud, making a few people p

Stupid Girl
After changing into a comfy hoodie and sweatpants, Jordan got downstairs for lunch. It was then Halton cared to notice her latest hairstyle, last time she had dyed it bronze and now it was platinum.  Jordan was capricious when it comes to her appearance and partners. She changed them on a whim, this is one of the reasons why Jordan is still single. Who wants to date a god damn chameleon? "I want a boyfriend." Halton's eyes sprang after he heard this sudden declaration from his sister. "Weren't you dating Natasha a few weeks ago?" Halton asked. "We broke up," Jordan said, their time in Milan was nothing more than a one-night stand. Plus, Natasha wasn't a committed person just like Jordan.   Jordan was quite good-looking; clear dark chocolate skin, hazel eyes she inherited from their mother. An appealing button nose, chiselled cheekbones. With her looks, she could easily hook some big fish.   "My phone's

GET OUT!
"Miss, you have a call from Catherine Roberts." Jane Warren nervously informed. Catherine got infuriated that Alexandra did not pick up her calls. She had no choice but to contact Jane Warren to talk to her daughter.  Alexandra motioned her hand and Jane gave the phone. "Yes, Mrs. Roberts?" Alexandra asked in a weary voice.  Catherine didn't like the way Alexandra addressed her, even though she was the one who drew a line between them years ago.  "I would like to meet up with you at lunch," Catherine said in a poised manner. There was also a hint of gentleness to it, but Alexandra neglected it. "You had plenty of time to contact me, Mrs. Roberts, instead you chose the day where I am at my busiest." Alexandra mocked. She had stayed home for almost a month, yet her mother didn't come for a decent visit. Catherine wanted a meeting with Alexandra for her own ulterior motives. After all, her little spy Alan F

Scammed
Jacob checked himself in his car's rearview mirror, he wore a designer navy blue shirt and white pants. This wasn't a real date, but he wanted to look dashing for Rhea Armando. Not to impress her, but to make her regret tossing him away three years ago.  Jacob entered the restaurant where his blind date was set, some of the ladies ogled the spirited young man as he strode inside. He removed his shades, revealing those precious blue eyes. He lifted an amicable smile in front of a bewildered woman.  "Why are you here?" Rhea asked right away, she was eager to see Jonathan, not her ex.  Jacob simply grinned at her unhappy expression. He sat opposite to her and hung his shades on his deep V neck. He wasn't particularly brawny like Jonathan, but his boyish charm was simply irresistible. "I am your date."  Rhea frowned upon hearing this. "What about your brother?"  Jacob clicked his tongue, seems like she hadn't changed much
