★ The sunrise found Paige sandwiched between her two friends, who refused to leave her side all through the night. She smiled warmly at how lucky she was to have such caring colleagues turned friends. She decided to cook them breakfast. She was so sure Cedric didn't return home last night, especially after what she did last night. She regrets it now, and she knows she owes Tristan an apology. Paige walked into the kitchen but halted her steps when she noticed the figure in the room. “You are up early.” “And what are you doing here?” Paige queried, “I live here too, remember?” Cedric responded as he tossed the egg in the pan. “I was told your friends spent the night here taking care of you. I thought I should make breakfast for all of us.” “You didn't have to do that,” Paige replied, as she took a seat on the kitchen counter, she couldn't help but remember the last time they were together in the kitchen like this. “I just want to do something for you.” “I kisse

★ “That audio clip, the one about Tristan, was from our wedding night, right?” Yes.” “I don't have any memory of saying something like that.” Paige confessed, “But I know I met someone named Tristan when I was young, we were friends but he…I don't remember what they look like anymore.” “I want to get to the root of that.” Cedric said, “That's why I wanted you to wait for me, but I don't have the right to ask that of you again.” Paige tried to blink her tears away but she was too late because before she knew it they were streaming down her face. “I'm just too tired of all these, Cedric. We are not good for each other, imagine the fact that we are supposedly married but even our home doesn't feel homely at all.” “Just a month, Paige.” Cedric blurted out, “A month for what?” “Just let's spend a month away from the city. Away from here. Let's travel to Greece or any place of your choice.” Cedric started, “If after spending it with me, you still insist on breaking it off, I

◆ /”Hello, mother, good morning." Cedric greeted as he picked up his phone, it was his mother calling. It was so early in the morning. /”What are you doing today?” the woman asked, /”I have a meeting. Why?” /”Your grandmother invited both Marlynn and me to spend the week with her and I thought I should invite you along. It will be a great time to bond with Marlynn….” /”I don't have the free time for that, mother.” /”Are you still upset over that, son? I have told you to let it go, why are you so stubborn?” /”Mother, you sedated me and left me in her mercy and instead of correcting her, she took advantage of my unconscious state. Do you think I like that I have no memories of what occurred? I hate it, mother, and I don't want to see any of you right now.” /”Whatever, I hope you sort out your feelings soon, especially now that it seems like your grandmother is slowly opening up to Marlynn. It's about time.” /”Good for both of you, I guess.” Cedric couldn't believe his ears an

★Paige wasn't expecting so many people at the airport when they arrived. “What are all these people doing here?” She queried Cedric who seemed to be enjoying the attention and her confusion. “My fanclub.” Cedric smiled as mouthed to her. “Huh? Your fan club? What are they doing here?” Paige was confused , “I thought you wanted the trip to be private?”“Oh, that was before now. We are already here now and nothing can stop us from boarding that jet.” Cedric assured, “I asked you to keep it private because I couldn't risk my mother and Marlynn getting news of it beforehand, I don't know to what extent they would have gone.”"But, they can still hear about it now?”“Well, they have probably heard about it already but they won't make it here on time.” Cedric grinned mischievously as he said it and Paige watched him skeptically.“Cedric Brooks, what the fuck did you do?” “Let's just say they would be quite stranded on the road for a while if they made any attempt to drive down here.”

◆The bathtub was filled with daisy flowers a lavender bath foam and bath milk. When Paige immersed herself in the water she couldn't help the moan she let out. It felt so relaxing, there was a glass of wine at the side, the music playing in the background was so sensual which made Paige feel a little bit excited. For the first time in a long time, Paige felt the urge to touch herself, and she would have if not that she had a better idea. She took her time enjoying the bath, the wine, the music and scrubbing off all the stress and the jet lag. After a well-balanced and fulfilled bath time, Paige exited the bathroom, she cleaned herself and applied her favourite cherry scented night lotion and body mist. Then she put on the blue dress shirt she had prepared earlier. She bottomed it up and was quite satisfied by how loosely fitted it was in her. She ties her hair in a messy bun and makes her way downstairs. Cedric was scrolling through his phone when she walked inside the kitch
