Alicia was running around her room trying to get ready quickly, she literally couldn't believe that she almost forgot about the party that she was to attend with Ashton. By the time she remembered, she only had few minutes left until 10pm, and that's when the whole drama began as she literally turned into the flash trying to get ready quickly.May and Diane were also in her room, and they couldn't resist laughing at her as they watched her run around her room."It's really not funny you two, I'm not sure I'll be able to forgive myself if I make him late.""Come on Alicia, I'm sure he wouldn't mind." May replied, trying to hold back her laughter.Alicia gave her a bored look. "Really?" She said. "I literally almost forgot and you say he wouldn't mind." She scoffed.May was about saying something when they heard the sound of the door bell."That must be your date."Alicia groaned loudly. "Oh no, what do I do now?" She panicked. "I don't even know if what I'm putting on is okay?" She sa

"You're not leaving with him." Adams said when he got to where Alicia and Ashton was.Alicia frowned deeply. "Excuse me?"Adams took her hand and pulled her to his side. "I'm not letting you leave here with him.""What the hell!" Alicia scoffed. "Let go of me right now Adams! You're embarrassing me!" She seethed."I don't care what you say Alicia, I already made it clear to you that I won't let you be with someone else, most especially this guy here.""What?" Ashton frowned.He and Adams never got along, they were rivals and seeing him hold Alicia's hand like that was making him so pissed, he doesn't even know his relationship with her, but he's not going to let him take her anywhere.Ashton took Alicia's other hand and tried pulling her away from Adams but Adams wouldn't let her go."Let go of her!" Ashton said darkly. Adams only looked at him daringly.Alicia looked at both men who were now engaged in a staring contest, her wrists were literally starting to hurt due to how tightly t

"How are you feeling?" Adams asked as he stroked Diane's hair lovingly."Tired and weak, but mommy says I'll be fine." Diane smiled. She loves how Adams was caressing her hair, for some reasons, the little girl felt drawn to him."Your mommy is right, you'll be fine." Adams reassured her."What's your name?" Diane asked innocently, staring at him curiously."Adams dear." "Adams." Diane repeated. "I've heard mommy talk about you." She blurted out.Alicia's eyes widen in shock. Adams turned to look at her, then he looked at Diane."Really?" He asked. Diane nodded."What did she say?" He asked, but before Diane could say anything else, Alicia interrupted."You should leave now Adams, Diane is tired and needs to rest.""But I'm fine mommy, and I don't want him to leave, I like him." "You don't even know him Diane, you shouldn't like him!" Alicia said sternly.Diane took Adams hand. "Please mommy, I don't want him to go now, I want to spend more time with him." Diane pleaded with teary e

When Mike met with Diane, his jaw dropped in shock, he turned to look at Alicia, then back at Diane.Diane stared at him in confusion as she wondered who he is. "Mommy who's this?" She asked softly."He's a really good friend of mommy my love, you can call him Uncle Mike." Alicia smiled.Mike was speechless for a while, he couldn't say anything as all he could think of was the striking resemblance Diane shared with not just Alicia but also Adams, Adams features are really evident in Diane, she literally look like the both of them."Alicia she's....""My daughter." Alicia hurriedly cut him off. "My daughter, Diane.'' She repeated, laying emphasis on her word.Mike looked at her. "Right!""Diane." Mike called as he walked to her, he looked at her with so much love and admiration in his eyes. "She just as beautiful as you are Alicia, she looks just like you and..." Mike trailed when he realized what he was about to say."Never mind, hope you don't mind me taking a seat beside you Diane?'

Alicia finally closed her laptop after working on it for hours! She heaved a deep breath, stood up and stretched her body, she could literally hear her bones crack and it felt so good, although she was having a splitting headache after putting some chapters of her new book together. All she wants to do right now was take some pain killers and go to bed, but she needs to go pick up Diane from school, she would have asked May to help her out, but then May won't be getting off work until late at night, she can't have her daughter stay in school for that long.She took her coffee mug and gulped down the whole content, then she walked sluggishly to the bathroom to take a quick shower before leaving.When Alicia was done with her bath, she dressed up and left the house.The drive to Diane's school took longer than usual due to the terrible traffic on the way, when she finally arrived, she blessed the heavens.Alicia got out of her car, she could see other kids parents coming to pick them up
