The following week turned out to be a busy one for everyone. Gabby and Sam didn't get the chance to see each other but they kept in touch via calls and text messages, with the both of them looking forward to their weekend getaway. Gabby did some extra readings and assignments during the week, knowing she wouldn't have time to do them on the weekend.
After what felt like a million years, Friday finally came. By 2:40, Gabriella was all set and waiting for Sam to come to pick her up. She had packed all the stuff she would need for the weekend. She got comfortable on the sofa and occupied herself with her phone until she heard the sound of her doorbe
"We would have celebrated in my house, back in Tallahassee if I didn't have to be here urgently. So I had no choice but to bring you with me. We both had fun on our little road trip down here and now we have the rest of the day to ourselves to do whatever we want. I hope you liked my surprise.""I love it. Thank you." She kissed his cheek.Sam released himself from Gabby, went over to the bedside and picked up the wrapped gift.
Isabelle Carter had this very weird tradition whenever her birthday was close by. There was always a list of pre-birthday activities lined up. Most of which her best friends, Sera and Gabby had to bear the burden and put up with.Gabriella was getting herself ready because Bella and Sera were coming over to pick her up. According to Bella, today was for shopping so they would be going to the mall and would probably have a spa day if they finished shopping on time.Knowing th
Gabriella Naomi King instantly forgot how to breathe. As her mind drew up different conclusions of the recent revelation, she refused to believe a single thing.A pool of tears welled up in Gabby's eyes and for some unknown reason, her hands started shaking. Gab had no idea what was happening to her, all she knew was that she needed to be alone.Bella's purse along with the credit card fell from Gabriella's shaky hands. That gesture caught Bella and Sara's attention.
The last time Samuel heard from Gabriella was before she left for shopping with her friends. She had called him while he was at work, they had their little romantic moment over the phone and she told him she was going out with her best friends and would call him later- probably when they were done with shopping.It's been hours later and Sam hasn't heard from Gabriella. He sent her a text message at noon but got no response. Before Samuel left his office for his apartment in the evening, he called Gab's number thrice- he got no response which was very strange. He started to get worried but decided not to overthink the whole situation. As usual, G
Gabriella Naomi King cried even harder when she heard someone knocking on her door and ringing the doorbell at the same time. Her heart told her who it was and it was confirmed when She heard his voice.Despite the heavy rain outside, making it almost impossible to hear clearly, Gabby heard Samuel loud and clear, he shouted at the top of his voice, pleaded for her to open up and made it known he wasn't going anywhere until she let him in.Gabby had never been more confused i
Samuel hardly had any sleep. He stayed back with Gabriella and spent the whole night looking after her. She refused to have dinner no matter how he persuaded her, so she went to bed on an empty stomach.To take her mind off their present situation and worry, Sam engaged Gabby in other random conversations but it was fruitless. Even the jokes he made didn't earn a tiny smile from Gab.Samuel ended up cuddling with Gabriella on the bed. He gently stroked her hair until She fel
Gabriella stared at her already packed backpack for the weekend, trying to think if she wasn't forgetting. She was distracted when her phone rang beside her. She smiled as she reached for it and saw that it was Sam."Hi, love." She said to the other side."Heyy, you're set to leave?" He asked."Yes. Jus
Even though Samuel had told Gabby beforehand that he would be around when She, Sera and Bella arrived, she confirmed it already when she saw one of his cars parked not too far from where Bella parked hers.Shy and nervous Gabriella was able to trick Isabelle into giving her a house tour before saying Hi to her Dad. Gabby made sure Isabelle took her time in showing her around. She couldn't help but think Bella's home was perfect. It was not too big and neither was it too small. It was very much modern and decorated with the finest pieces of furniture. There were two living rooms, a kitchen, a guest room, laundry and gym room downstairs while there
