Mabel's POVLater in the afternoon at 3:00pm ..I heard a knock on the door and it opened immediately."Layla" I called happily immediately I saw her walk in, I stood up from my seat and pulled her into a tight hug."I've missed you so much, " I said ."I do to my Love" she said as we disengaged and she came to sit in front of me."Goodness, the picture doesn't do this place justice" "It's massive, " she gushed as she stared around."I know right, " I replied with a wide smile."Aww, my friend has changed so much just within the few weeks you stayed here for""You're all shining and glowing " she teased ."Ofcourse!, I live with a skincare expert," I replied ."Yeah, as it should be " she replied."I'm so happy for you my friend" she said more seriously this time."The good things you deserve are finally coming to you" "This place just suits you so well not the slum where we stayed before""I know right," I said with a small smile."I just pray you find love next because I already f

Mabel's POVNext morning Wednesday morning 5:30 am ...."Hmm" I groaned as I sat up on my bed and put on the light beside my bed.I placed my elbow on my lap and my palm on my forehead as I bent my head dramatically. To be honest the life of a rich man is actually more stressful than that of a poor man.I stretched my back and popped out the tension in my spine."God, I feel better!!" I exhaled as I stood up and went about my morning routine.I walked downstairs to the kitchen to make myself a glass of coffee, I walked back to my room, sat in front of the mirror and began to apply face scrub on my face.Immediately I was done , I just crossed my legs in the chair as I took sips from the coffee and mentally planned out my day.Ohh that reminds me , I wasn't able to talk to Dwayne about Layla , I'll just do that this morning.The small alarm clock in the table dinged to show thirty minutes had passed, I picked up my face towel and headed for the bathroom.Immediately I was done in the

Mabel's POV "Welcome home uncle" I heard and my eyes widened at who was at the door.This Diane again?!!.Immediately his mom came to the door also,"Honey!" She called ."My love!" He replied and pulled her into a hug.Aww, I looked at Dwayne and he wasn't even having any expression on , as a matter of fact I was getting this "irritated by this" vibe from him, there's definitely something going on between him and his mother."Son!" She called out to him and tried to hug him ."Hi, " he replied and walked in before she could hug him ."Good evening ma'am" I greeted but she just looked at me and walked in also."Oh uncle it's so wonderful to see you" Diane said cheerfully as she held his hands , I rolled my eyes at that ,what's she trying to do?!."I missed you too my little munchkin" he replied and she laughed."Oh I hate being called that!" She said with a laugh."You loved it as a child""Well I'm all grown up now" she replied and they both laughed ."I can see that, " he said."We

Dwayne's POV"It's a woman!" I whispered."Obviously," Xander said."So can I talk to this Jake guy?" the PI asked and I nodded ."Sure" I replied, and he stood up and walked away."Goshh!" I exhaled "I'm really just tired about the whole thing," I said ."That isn't something Dwayne Ford would say, " he said, leaning in."What exactly is going on?!""Isn't this whole stuff big enough to be worried about ""I know it is but it isn't big enough to make you look like a mess!" He replied."Come on , we've been friends since forever. I know when something is eating you up""Just skip the whole charade and tell me what's really going on" he said."Is it really that obvious? " I whispered and he nodded."Very obvious!" He replied."I had a fight with Mabel last night " "Really how serious was it ?!""Very serious, I was angry,I said a lot of mean things to her and now she did not even speak to me this morning " "Give me the full details of how it happened. I thought you guys were cool no

Mabel's POV I leaned back in my seat and sighed if only he knows that all this is just a charade and I don't have any success anywhere!."That was such a deep sigh , anything bothering you?!" I heard him ask and I sat up immediately."Of Course not" I replied with a small smile."It just feels so good to catch up with a friend from way back," I added and he nodded."Me too""So what about you , wife?!" I asked ."Oh,my wife died two years ago " he said and I gasped ."Oh my God I'm so sorry I had no idea " "It's fine, besides it's been two years and looking on the brighter side I have a four year old daughter " he said."Oh my God really?!""Really!"
