I was wrong. Home wasn't more exciting, in fact it was more agonising and I was extremely annoyed. I sighed again for the umpteenth time as I heard Gwen complain about me basically helping them.
"What she did was completely out of line and out of plan, we had to improvise the whole situation and it was extremely annoying to do everything else out of script, and you Theo, how could you tell her who our target was an-"
"He didn't tell me who your target was, I told you, it was easy to figure it out," I shrugged my shoulders and drank my water.
"How?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest and I sighed getting up.
"Besides your obvious attempts of getting his attention while you were dancing, alone, Nicholas Carello, son of Frank and Joanna Carello, the millionaire playboy and well let's face it, mommy's boy too," I shrugged and scratched my neck as I tried to remember the rest.

I stared at Xania as she had just admitted with her own mouth something that I had already figured out in the time we had spent together.The room had an unbearable silence as we all stared at Xania, she suddenly started chuckling and clapping her hands."You guys totally bought that didn't you?" She said and they chuckled along with her."Oh my gosh, for a moment I thought what you had just said was the truth," Kim said as she fidgeted in her chair. It was quite clear that everyone else had bought it, except for the people who really knew Xania."Same here, that look you had in your eyes was wild," Miranda said as she pointed to her own eyes. "You're really good at convincing people.""Yeah," Xania dragged her words. "It takes time," she said softly."Xania, may I please speak to you privately?" I asked as I got up from my chair, Xania followed suite nodding.

"He didn't show up," I said angrily as I stormed into my sister's apartment. I banged my clutch bag onto her island and stomped my feet over to her couch before dropping on it. "What? After he proposed the idea!" Zada asked shocked and I nodded as I breathed out heavily trying to keep calm. "He stood me up after convincing me that this time we were going to do it right, he didn't even call!" I said and I couldn't stop the lump forming. "I was so embarrassed," I couldn't control it anymore, my tears freely flowed down my face and my sister cooed as she hugged me. "You shouldn't cry," she said softly rubbing my back and I pulled away as I wiped my tears. "I can't control it, I'm ovulating," I sobbed as I felt more tears flowing down my face. "I hate that I'm crying!" "There's no break for a woman," she sighed shaking her head and I nodded. After calming down my sister and I stared at each other before she broke out into laughter and I did the sa

I woke up feeling some light patterns being drawn on my belly, I looked down to see that I still had my hand on Theo's head, while his head laid on my belly. "You're awake?" He asked and I yawned as I nodded my head. "Yeah, How'd you sleep?" I asked him and he responded by pressing a kiss on my belly. "Great since I slept with you," he answered and I rolled my eyes. He scooted up the bed and stared at me, while his fingers still drew patterns on my belly. "Thank you," he said. "What for?" I whispered back and he leaned closer, our noses were pressed against the other, and the sudden shift in the air told me that whatever was about to happen, was going to happen. "For staying with me," he said and I never thought I would be the one to make the first move. I pulled his face down and pressed my lips against his. I attacked him hungrily and I could tell he wanted this just as much as I did. His hand grabbed and squeezed my hips as he helpe

I woke up with Theo's arms wrapped around me, and his scent engulfing my nostrils, with a happy sigh, I raised my head happily and looked at him. "You're awake?" I asked as I touched his light stubble growing on his face. "Mhm," he replied and I softly massaged his temples. "What are you thinking of?" I asked him as I sat on his lap, he sat up straight and hugged me pressing his face on my boobs, I giggled as I carried on massaging his temples. "You can tell me," I whispered. "I wasn't close to her, yet I feel so heartbroken," he mumbled against my chest and I spread my fingers through his hair, rubbing his head hoping to release some tension. "It's natural to feel that way, death of a family member isn't one to not feel anything over it," I replied and he hugged me tighter. I felt my chest becoming wet and I raised his head, kissing his tears. "She was horrible, put me through the worst with her husband, she would do anything her husb

I stood outside my apartment building as I waited for Theo. I checked the time on my phone once again and came up to the same conclusion, I was the early one.He wasn't late, because if my anticipation and excitement for today, I finished up early now I'm standing out here looking like a fool."I hope I'm not too late?" I looked at Theo and a smile immediately grew on my face. I walked to him and hugged him tightly, breathing in his earthly scent, I sighed and shook my head."You're not late at all," I breathed out and he smiled, his hands remained on my waist as we talked to each other. "So, where we going?" I asked him and he kissed my cheek."Before that," he said opening the passenger door, he carried out a bouquet of Gardenia's in his hands and handed them to me. "Thank you for agreeing to go on a date with me gorgeous, I know I promised it weeks ago but-""You don't have to explain yourself, I was there with you," I said as I welcomed t

Theo looked at me and clenched his jaw, he licked his lips and smiled as he got up. "Come on, let's take you home," he smiled and reached out his hand for mine. I could clearly tell he was annoyed by the fact that I had brought Adam up, but I did tell the guy that I would try.Regardless of the fact that he was changing the conversation, I got up and took his hand. He carried my panda for me and I carried the rest of my stuff.We got into his car and he was still ignoring me, but he kept his hand still held mine and sometimes he would squeeze it, I guess it was his way of telling me he wasn't angry at me. I kissed his hand and finally spoke."I don't want to go home. I want to sleep with you tonight.""Okay," he nodded and once again the car was engulfed in silence. We arrived at his house and we both silently made way to his bedroom."I'm going to take a shower," he said as he kicke

"Alright, let's go over the plan," Theo said and everyone settled down. "Xania," I got up and winked at Leo who was grinning at me."Well, I've already started with the paintings. I've already recreated two since the time of my 'theory'. Every painting will have a 'mistake' to show that it's a counterfeit, also the canvases are branded. These counterfeits are the three paintings that are the star of the show so-""How do you know they're the star of the show?" Gwen asked as she took down notes and the goofy smile that graced my face just showed how excited I was about this."Not only am I a lecturer at one of the best universities in this province, I'm also a geek for paintings! I was invited to this exclusive gallery, so I know what wi be shown.""How were you invited?""I was the main student artist for the last exhibition, I'm bound to be invited with the kind of work I create," I said and she nodded. "So as I was saying, Michael is a sucker for

"Wait for me," Leo said as he jogged up to me. "Let me take you home," he said and I laughed looking at him. "What do you want?" I asked him squinting my eyes and he held his chest and opened his mouth in disbelief. "I can't believe you Xania, nothing!" He said dramatic and I cocked my head to the side. "Okay, I want to know the details of what just happened between you and Gwen, AND when you and Theo became so serious! Not living in this house really makes a person miss out on things," he said putting his hands on his waist. I laughed so hard to the point I got hiccups, he hit my back and I couldn't stop laughing despite the hiccups. "Come on, get them out," he said refering to the hiccups. "And the goss too," he whispered and leaned in. "Did she make this face?" Leo twisted his face in the weirdest way possible and I couldn't breathe. My laugh came out choked and I felt my tears flo
