"How long huh?"Monica asked after a while of sitting there. The rest just looked at her with blank expressions knowing it had only been five minutes since the entire process started. The family was gathered outside despite the many times they told them to go to the private waiting room but they refused and wanted to be there to hear the baby's first cry"This should be done...what's going on...is Vic leading this"Kyan added, he was more than agitated as he paced back and forth just trying to get it out of his system. Martha and Justin had an emergency hence they left from there while Leo was standing by the door drinking coffee"Kyan do I look okay...I mean the baby needs to see her aunt is the most beautiful"Monica said checking her face but she looked horrible with all the dark circles around her eyes. She had been crying for a long time and barely got any sleep all because of Vivienne. Who knew what happened to her to be here but she prayed Vivienne made it as well as the baby. It

(Vivienne)"Destination please?""United States," I said, handing her my details as well as my password. The lady looked at me for a while and continued her work"Vacation or…""School" I replied without delay and the woman glanced up then shrugged. I didn't know why she did that but I didn't care as I stood there waiting for my ticket. I was lucky the plane to the US hasn't left yet. It has been an hour since I got here. I had everything ready to go but just needed to confirm the tickets and it was taking longer than I expected"Are you okay Ms?" the lady asked, not sure why but I was fine, just a little cold. I didn't know why it was this cold now of all days. I was wearing black leggings with ankle boots as well as a long-sleeved sweater that reached up to my neck and a brown long coat to keep warm but still, I could feel the wind blowing around"I'm fine please, "I remarked distantly, trying, by all means, to keep her off. I came to the airport early. I wanted to leave this place

******Three months later(New York)**(Vivienne)"Can I help you?""Yes, please...I'm new here...can you show me where the library is?"I asked, looking around the place"Yeah down the road...you can take a taxi from here or just walk but it will take a little while" the lady replied showing me the directions I smiled and thanked her before I walked away leaving the fast-food restaurant I was having my lunch atI glanced at my watch and it was getting late and the goofy girl I was waiting for hadn't shown up"Where are you, Alex?"I said and quickly crossed the road to the other side so I could wait for her. It was early in the afternoon, the day was crisp and sunny. Although it was a little windy which made my hair blow around disturbing my peace I didn't mind as I stood there staring at the brochure in my hand. I looked around the busy streets. The lady I asked at the restaurant told me this was where the public library was. I would have used the one at the University but I decided to

(Vivienne)"Why is he so difficult?"Alexis asked as we rushed for classes. We were so late and Mr. Whitlock was a ridiculous professor. He didn't tolerate late coming and of course, he gave difficult exams...forget tests and assignments which were like he didn't have a heart"It's cool he's just preparing us for our future," I said, fixing my hair. I was a total mess. I was only wearing blue skinny jeans with a blue tank top and some sneakers. My hair looked like a bird's nest because I didn't blow dry it but just washed it and applied conditioner to soften it"Come on, let's hurry or it will be a full lecture on being late which would apply to our resume, "Alexis said sarcastically and I wanted to laugh because her words made no sense. But I understood her unlike me, she was the center of it all. Being the vice Chancellor's daughter wasn't easy. She and to be the perfect example and she was exceptional"Oh thank God" she exhaled in relief when we got to class and it was as noisy as e

(Vivienne)"Ahh...now I feel worthless," Leo said with a cute pout while holding out a spoonful of ice cream. I laughed hard seeing how ridiculous he looked with such a face. For a 32 years old man. He was supposed to be better than this but the man was still the same. Playful like a child"I saw it...I mean is it real?"I asked again, I had a chance to watch one of the movie scenes he was shooting here. I didn't know the man was such a sweetie sexy seductor"It's called acting...it's fiction... whatever I do has nothing to do with my real self," he said defensively and I gave him the eye. No one would believe it when I saw how he was touching and kissing his co-star. It was so real, especially when they kissed. I felt shy watching him"I don't believe you okay...I saw and believed it"I simply said and ate my ice cream. Leo just looked at me with a blank expression. There was amusement and delight as if he was trying to understand me and I stopped not sure why his gaze made me feel unc
