Chapter eleven

When Della opens the door, I can't help but admire her right from top to bottom. A purple sexy lace midi dress so simple but also has the effect to turn eyes especially on a body like hers. Her make up is just perfect coupled with a pair of black ankle strap heels."Beautiful." I compliment unconsciously. Della blushes."Do you mean the outfit or me?" she asks."Both. Everything actually." I splutter."You look handsome too." she comments."Shall we?" She takes my hand before we walk to the car. After making sure she is comfortable, I settle in my seat before I drive away. I play some background band music as we drive telling each other about our days. When we arrive at the resort, I open her door like a gentleman and lead her to the table I reserved."Oh my!" Della exclaims when she catches sight of the table."Do you like it?" I ask nervously. I don't understand why I took all this initiative to do stuff like this for her. I know I said it is only dinner but I went on to book this pl

Chapter twelve

The week has been a hectic one filled with errands, meetings and functions. The most absurd thing is that the day I am almost free, I have to spend it seated with a bunch of sixty year olds which are my dad and George, Henley and Brad and not forgetting my nemesis which is my brother. "I was talking with Genevieve and her husband last week. I got to meet their daughter. She is a beautiful and a good girl. I want Crescent to meet her." Dad says. I scowl. When did my father start playing matchmaker? I bet it is mom putting those thoughts in his head. Henley glances at me. Aaron smirks."That's great to hear." George mutters."I am sure they will make a good couple." Aaron adds with a grin. I doubt her would think so. What would he know about a good couple when he couldn't save his marriage?"What about Gretchen? What happened to her?" Henley asks. The nerve of her to act like she cares. I glare. Gretchen is the daughter of an investor who hosted a party we attended during the week. Our

Chapter thirteen

Della's simple kiss on my jaw wakes me up."Morning." she smiles."How long have you been awake?" I ask groggily. "Probably five minutes back." she rolls back to her side. When I reach for her at the other end of the bed, I realise the kind of situation we are in right now.Firstly, Della is naked under the covers. Secondly, I am sporting an erection. We stare at each other coincidentally before she smirks. I take this as a cue to continue my original plan. I draw her closer and kiss her lips. In no time, an innocent kiss turns into a heated and wild one. Suddenly the room is degrees hotter.I straddle her immediately wanting her closer. The feeling of her body flush against mine makes me feel like I am on cloud nine.Out of the blue, Della pulls away like a burnt child. She pushes me away from her like I just caught a contagious disease."What the h...""Where are my clothes?" Della jumps out of the bed. I am confused right now. One second she was ready for me and the next she is ask

Chapter fourteen

Lunch was great and things went on smoothly between her parents and I even after that conversation with her dad. That wasn't the climax of the day though. While Della and her dad caught up, I remained with Susan talking about her upcoming show. The conversation was good until she cut in with a sharp question. "You and my daughter are not dating, I get it. However Crescent, do you see yourself dating my daughter in the future?" I don't understand how far that future she meant was."Your daughter is...""Don't beat around the bush boy. Just answer the question." It was a tough question to answer."No. I would if the situation was different." she gazes quietly."Does that mean there is someone else?" Susan cocks a brow."Yes. She is my ex fiancé.""Engaged?""We were until she broke our engagement six months back.""I see. Where does my daughter fit in your equation Crescent if you are still in love with this ex-fiancé?" Susan raises a brow. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life

Chapter fifteen

Tonight I am having dinner with my family. Dad told me in advance that George and his family was invited. That only meant Henley and her boyfriend were going to attend. I expect everyone except Aaron and I to have someone on their hand. That is why I decided to invite Della to be my date for tonight. She was skeptical at first but agreed when I convinced her. I assured Della that her by my side was to make Henley feel jealous. She warmed up to the idea eventually which explains why I am outside her door at seven. She opens the door after my knock. I smile when I realise how incredibly beautiful she looks tonight. Purple dress that accentuates her figure. She has me staring for a minute before I embrace her. I haven't seen her in two days but it feels like so many days. Her hair is curled for tonight making her look more flawless. "Are those mine?" she asks looking at the flowers in my hand. I had forgotten for a second I had them."Yep. Do you like them?" I give them to her."I love

Chapter sixteen

When I returned home last night, I couldn't find sleep. When we said farewell to everyone and I drove Della home, she didn't talk to me the whole journey. When I tried to apologize, she told me she was tired and we would talk next time. She must be pissed for the way I talked to her. I am to blame. I let my emotions get into my head.When my intercom buzzes, I answer immediately."Mr. Armstrong. Ms Henley is here to see you." Kristy, my secretary announces."I don't want to see her." I mutter immediately. "Ms..stop. He says he doesn't want to see you. She is coming." Kristy informs.I sigh when I hang up. Immediately my door opens to reveal a scowling Henley."What was that Crescent?" she says angrily."Just the person I didn't want to see." I glare. I don't bother hiding the annoyance in my voice.Henley walks further taking a seat without my permission."What do you want Henley?" I ask impatiently."I was from lunch with your father and I passed by to say hey. I didn't expect this b

Chapter seventeen

I don't know why I agreed to let Della drive my car. I can think of two reasons and they are all so lame. First, she convinced me that since she invited me to this dinner, she should be the one driving. Second is because she convinced me she is really a good driver. In bed, yes but on the road, I don't know if I might see tomorrow."I swear to God if you dent my car Della, you are so dead." I complain for the umpteenth time. She breaks up in a wider grin."Relax your tities Armstrong. It is fun." she mocks. It maybe for her but not for me. Okay maybe that is not entirely true but the way she is driving my car is driving me insane."Where did you learn to drive like freaking formula one missy?" I question."I guess I didn't tell you about my lack of career motivation when I was still in high school. I tried everything fun." she replies."Not convincing.""Alright, then this will."She steps on the gas again. At this rate, we are going to get a speeding ticket."Freaking hell Della. Remi

Chapter eighteen

The whole ride to the airport has been super chill and quiet except for the soft music playing on the radio. Della has been busy reading something on her phone while texting away. She told me it was something about some patient.I on the other hand have been divulging into my head like a freaking cave man. Since the other night Della took me to dinner, I haven't been myself. That day, I realised something I hadn't taken time to notice. It is something that scares me. It sounds so pathetic but it is the truth.Could this have become more than sex and I hadn't realised?Heck no! It can't. Della sees me as her fuck buddy nothing else. At least she has made it clear everytime we speak about it were she stood with all this. For fuck sake she convinced me to embark on our agreement after her parent's visit when I wanted to end it.Perhaps I am losing my mind over something small. I know how my heart pounded that night. I know how empty I felt when she left for her house. I realised the feeli

Chapter nineteen

"We have a problem." Della's eyes widen in horror when she lifts her gaze. A feeling of panic rises through me when I notice her tensed posture suddenly. She just received a phone call from Ryan and whatever he told her has her distressed."What is the matter Della?" I ask worried."A model cancelled at the last minute. Mom is freaking out." she explains panickly. Shit! Susan has organized her show to perfection. It has taken her months for everything to be in place so a model cancelling affects everything."I need to find her now." Della rushes through the crowd over to the back, me following behind. I hate when she is distracted. Her mom is sitting by a chair with Ryan and Natalie holding a glass of water when we find them."Mom." Della calls when she reaches her."Della love, what am I going to do?" Susan sighs weary."I will do it."Della announces confidently."I mean think about it. I know how these things work and for Christ sake we don't have any other option. Our hands are ti

Chapter twenty

Della and I can't stop laughing about whatever just happened back there in that room and then with her mom. The look of disgust on her face when I opened the door almost made me want to cringe in guilt."Mom,"Susan's curt look cut Della off. "Did you two have sex in there because I swear...""We didn't." I cut her quick. Susan's nose scrunched further in disgust as she assessed us."So you were about to?" she raises a brow."If you hadn't interrupted, yes." Della fought back a smile that threatened to escape from her lips."You two are disgusting. At least you should first take my dress off. I don't want it smelling like wild sex."I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. "What the hell is wrong with this generation?" she muttered as she walked away."And please no sex before the party ends. I don't want my daughter ending up in a nudist column "Her comment made us up break out in giggles.After the cock block from Susan, we decided to mingle for sometime at the party before we bot
