Alle Kapitel von A Little Like Fate : Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

DELIA Bruce was the client? My heart skipped several beats just by looking at his lowered face. His perfect figure just sat there majestically, eyes locked on his tablet. At some point, I found it hard to breathe. Levi sat down opposite him, taking a more majestic posture; his legs crossed and his eyes on his phone. Both guys were making it difficult to take in enough breaths. I felt I would suffocate and pass out from all the hotness in the air. I pulled my disheveled mind together and sat down beside Levi, making sure not to look at Bruce. "Delia?" He called out, surprised. He removed his glasses just to take a good look at me. "What are you doing here?" "I'm with him," I replied, not sparing him a glass. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Levi, I didn't notice you." He apologized and stood up for a shake. Levi did the same, taking their respective seats after that gesture. If only they knew what they both did to me, they would have both fled from my sight. "I believe you already know my as

DELIA "What... What do you mean, sir?" I tried to compose myself as much as possible. "We can't possibly go out in the snow. It's dangerous." "Do you have any other option?" He stared at me, waiting patiently for me to speak. I looked away as though I was trying to figure out something but nothing was coming to my mind. I just didn't want the situation to seem weirder than it already was. "We'll have to go out then." He said after taking my silence for a no. My mind felt at ease after he said that. I thought we were going to get comfortable by going into each other's arms. That would be been awkward. "Well, are you coming?" He was already out of the car, surveying the environment. The moment I opened the door, a cold breeze swept my face. Several strands of my hair began dancing with the wind, making it difficult to see through them. I got to Levi's side of the car and stood a few feet apart. "Where are we headed first?" I shouted. The storm was making loud noises, I had to sh

DELIA The softness of where I lay made me moan as I turned in my sleep. My body was so relaxed and it felt as though I was sleeping on a cloud. I stretched my arms widely and they landed softly. I raised my hand a little and it touched a fluffy pillow. My eyes darted open and I found myself in a dimly lit room and on a soft mattress. Where was I? Had we already arrived at Levi's place? How long have I been asleep? Those questions lingered on my mind as I got off the bed. I turned the doorknob and it opened. I appeared in a long hallway, not knowing where to enter. The hallway had many divisions. Why didn't sir Levi wake me up when we got here? After some minutes, I found a staircase that led to the down floor. I hurriedly went down in hopes I would see somebody but when I got to the living room, I didn't see anybody. Was I alone in this big place? I began to panic when I went to the kitchen and still didn't find anybody. I thought of calling Levi, and that was when I realized I

LEVI I joked around with my friends, catching up on everything that had been happening in our lives since we all gathered months ago. Of course, they didn't leave out the marriage stuff. They made me explain how I met her and of course, I didn't fail to narrate the story Delia told my family at the first dinner. It wasn't entirely a lie. We did meet on the first day of college when she got into trouble with some rough-looking men because of her big mouth. "Wait, wait, wait! Shut up, bro." Hudson covered my mouth and began swimming to God knows where. My other friends left me and swam to the edge of the pool. I turned to see what caught their attention and holy mama!! The ladies walked out in their multi-colored bikinis, all chattering amongst themselves. Delia was the only person tying a towel and somehow, I wished she'd just removed that God-forsaken towel. "Remove the towel, remove the towel." Hudson anticipated seeing my woman's body but earned him a knock on the head and a de

DELIA My heart pondered in my chest as I listened to my mother speak. "She's such a fool for believing everything without properly investigating the situation and that's why we're going to continue using her till she runs dry and gives up on this world." Those words broke me, I felt hot tears run down my cheeks. I needed to see those involved in all of this. I dropped my bag, making sure the noise was hidden and then walked to the kitchen window. Gladly, it was open and I could see everybody inside. I covered my mouth to prevent myself from shouting. The people I called my family were there, the men that barged in requesting two thousand dollars and Mr. Fuller. There was money scattered on the table with drinks surrounding them. My heart which I had put back together after it was broken by Bruce shattered again into tinier pieces. They were all in it together and I didn't see the surprise coming. I walked back to my luggage and picked it up. They were right. I was such a fool for
