A PACT TO LOVE Chapter 55
“How did you know I was here?” I ask Hazel as she walks through the doors of the patio. She was dressed in a black turtle neck top, a brown jean skirt, and black shoes. I was resting at the poolside, laying back on a lounge chair in shorts with a white round neck crop top and sunglasses resting on my nose.Yesterday when I came back from the art gallery, I immediately got in the shower, changed into my pajamas and went straight to bed. Eating was the last thing on my mind and I didn’t end up consuming anything at the event yesterday either. I only drank a lot of champagne.Hazel walked over to the lounge chair beside me and sat down facing me. “I asked Agatha and she directed me here.” She turns her gaze to the large pool before turning back to me. “Wow Bailey, look at this view, so beautiful,” She gushed over the pool and I nodded in agreement joining her to take in the view.Perhaps I’ll invite all my friends over sometime but I'll have to ask William first. Uggh, I groaned out lou

“You’ll fit in just right Bailey, don’t fret,” Hazel said assuring me as we walked into my room.“Is that a nicer way to say I’m stuck up?” I ask jokingly and she snorts.“Not at all. You’re anything but stuck-up, I mean you will fit in, maybe not immediately cause it might seem a little awkward but you’ll also bring positive change, maybe help in broadening their horizon so it won’t only be for the wealthy.”“Yeah, maybe,” I mutter“Alright, let’s get you ready,” she says making her way into the closet while I sit on the bed waiting for what outfit she picks out for me to wear to this gathering knowing fully well she’ll pick something nice.We spent the next three hours going through basic etiquette lessons and also what to do while having tea. It was a whole thing. Once we were done with that, I put on the pastel pink colored A-line gown that stopped a few inches above my knee and had long puffy sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. The gown was paired with a white stiletto heel, pearl

“Good morning Hazel, do I have another event today?” I greeted her as I answered the phone.“Morning Bailey, no you don’t. I’m only calling to tell you that you need to make space in your closet.”“Space for what?” I ask because I haven’t even worn up to half of the clothes there.“More clothes. You can’t repeat the outfits you’ve already worn out for events, especially now that you are a member of the ladies’ society, you’ll have to replace them.”“That is such a waste, what’s going to happen to the clothes?” I ask.“Anything you want. We could give them away or throw them out, your choice.”“No, we'll give them out to people, there are a lot of people out there who would be grateful. I’ll also give some of them to my friends. I hope that's okay?”“Yes it is, I’ll talk to you later, bye.”“Bye,” I say and end the call by placing my phone face down on the kitchen table.It’s been a week since I got the invitation to the lady society and attended. When Cedrick and Hazel came to pick me

Mario walked out of the patio doors with a tray in hand containing what I assume to be the snacks he said he was going to get since I couldn’t see the contents of the tray from where I sat.He wasn’t wearing his usual chef uniform I was used to seeing him in, instead, he was wearing black jeans and a navy blue crew neck knitted sweater with its sleeves rolled to his elbow and his tattoos on display. The girls watched as he walked to where we sat and placed the tray on the table.“Hello, ladies.” He greets them before turning to me. “Here Bailey, as promised,” he said, gesturing to the snack tray.“Thank you very much.”“Yeah, I’ll be leaving now.”“Why, is it twelve already?” I ask and he nods.“Yeah, see you tomorrow,” he says, saluting with his index and middle finger before leaving. We all watched as he walked away from the pool area and back into the house through the patio doors until he was out of sight before they turned to me.“I repeat, who was that?” May ask.“My, My, he loo

The next morning, I woke up to the warm rays of the sun gleaming on my face. I groaned as I rolled over stuffing my face in the pillow to try and get more sleep. Instead of sleeping in William’s room, I slept in mine knowing fully well that I wouldn’t get in trouble since Mathew doesn’t come out of his room till later in the afternoon since it was a Sunday.I peeked one of my eyes open and glanced at the clock that read 10 a.m. before laying my head back on the pillow. The idea of having to get up from the comfy bed to start my day didn’t seem nice at all. After ten minutes of trying to sleep but to no avail, I opened my eyes, the position I was on the bed faced the ceiling, I studied the ceiling for nothing in particular.The sound of my ringtone disrupts the silence in the room and breaks my attention away from the ceiling. With a sigh, I stretch my hands over to the side in search of the phone. Once I feel the sleek device, I pick it up and glance at the caller ID before swiping

I led Milan to my room and he removed his shoes and bag before climbing the bed, he jumped on the bed, euphorically.“Your bed is so bouncy like a bouncing castle.” He exclaims still jumping ecstatically but safety first, so I had to kindly remind him to be careful. “Milan, get down before you hurt yourself.” I reprimanded and he stopped immediately laying down on the bed facing the ceiling.“Sorry, I really like your bed, it’s so comfy, I want it too, “ he says and I giggle. It’s sweet that he finds my bed comfy and wants one just like it.He sits upright and gets his tablet out of his bag to use it and play games.As Milan settles down playing games on his tablet. I couldn’t help but feel a little unsure of the things I could use to entertain him here. I racked my brain in an attempt to make a mental list. I take a moment to observe him.He was such a cute kid with a contagious smile and an infectious personality. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of responsibility to ensure he had

The week seemed to pass by in a blur, it felt like my life was caught in a constant time loop. All I did was eat, sleep, tweet, and repeat, I wasn't doing anything productive.It was Friday today, Shayna’s birthday. I had wished her earlier in the day, I sent her a text message and also a voice note of me singing happy birthday to her. We were going to a newly opened club to celebrate her birthday, Club Uno. Which was fitting since her birthday fell on a Friday, and she rarely misses going to the club on Fridays. She sent a message informing me to come to her place before 8 p.m. so we could dress up and leave for the club from there. I’ve not been to a club since I quit working as a strip dancer so I was really excited that I was finally leaving the house to have a little fun and not for any boring event. I have missed the loud beat and the euphoria of the club and let’s not forget free drinks.I got a small bag and placed my shoes, bag, the outfit I’ll be wearing to the club, and a

My head was pounding. I slowly regained consciousness and was immediately hit with an intensified pounding of my skull, my head was throbbing and It felt as though it was being hammered down continuously in multiple spots. I took in my surroundings, the room felt unfamiliar. I started to wonder where I was as I don’t recollect getting into bed.Shit!Did I follow a stranger home?My eyes remained closed in an attempt to recall all the details of the night before. It was an ineffective attempt to say the least, trying to think about anything proved to be very difficult as I couldn't go past the symphony of pain that flooded my skull. I groaned out loudly as all questions flooded my head, did Shayna and May bring me back? Where were they? I couldn’t remember anything. Did I fall asleep in the car?I opened my eyes again and this time I was hit by the bright glazing rays of the sun shining intensely through the window, the intensity of the sun coming through the blinds dominated the room
