[Fiona’s POV] I wake up late in the afternoon, with the day to myself. I have woken up once to see Heath go to work, go back to sleep, and wake up again in the afternoon. It felt a bit good to not stress about work for the first two weeks, but it feels so depressing to stay home and do nothing. I hear a soft knock on the door which is followed by another loud and aggressive knock. I can deduce who is at the door already because I hear Mrs. Green say. “Selby don’t knock like that, poor Fiona must be resting,” she scolds in that soft and loving tone. “Mom, welcome,” with a warm hug, we greeted each other. “Wait till I tell you what dad did,” Selby says angrily. “What did he do?” I asked. I ushered them in as I caught up with what had been happening while I was asleep. “Come on stop exaggerating, your father would never do that,” Mrs. Green says, “he is probably getting to know them.” “He kidnapped them mom. How would you explain him buying a gun first thing this morning?” “I a
[Heath’s POV]Paint, the moment he pulled his trigger, cold paint hits my face, he smirks before saying “alright boys, let us have some fun, while the ladies hang-out.”“Um…… sir, don’t we have to change to a more…...”Lucas’s attempt to reason with Mr. Green is cut shot by a big red ball of paint on his suit, “come on let us all start with our teams,” Mr. Green says ignoring Lucas.Hot-headed and stubborn, that is how Fiona described him, and though he infuriated me, I still needed his approval to marry Fiona.We are grouped with one of his old friends and the rules are set, we are all given paintguns with clear instructions on how to use them.“Okay kids, let us see what you have,” he mocks. I hate how effortless he seems. We haven’t even started, but I can already see us losing.And losing we did, again, and again, and again, “come on Heath we are not winning this, can’t we just give up already.”“You know if we give up, we are not getting the blessing to date/marry his daughters,
I was sure I was not hearing him right, like yes, we have been dating for merely a year, but this is too unexpected for him do this. “Carl, can you please repeat what you just said.” “Well like I said, I don’t think we should continue with this relationship anymore as you seem to not want me to sleep with other girls” he continues to repeat the crap he had said. “So, because I refuse to let you cheat on me, you want to break-up?” I ask yet again. “Yes, you know my boss is thee Heath Theodore Duncan, the biggest playboy in the world, and you want me not be as cool as him.” He continues to say utter nonsense, of course I know who his boss is, with the connection I have as one of the best assistants in the country, I had my boss talk to his new boss to get him this job. Ugh, sometimes you should be careful to whom you use nepotism. “And you think because you are a mere assistant to the Heath Theodore Duncan, you deserve to have the same lifestyle as him?” I say almost biting my lip
“Don’t worry Fiona, Clover explained the circumstances.” Gian says, “only a few people left until the meeting starts, you may have your seat.” I behaved the best I could, as I walked to my seat, Carl’s ridiculous bruised face is hilarious, his swollen lip makes him look so funny. He is boiling with anger as he watches me seat, and I am the happiest I have ever been. I start to have my notebook and pen ready to write the minutes of the meeting when Gian asks, “what happened to Mr. Coon?” but luckily, I catch myself before laughing aloud. “He got attacked by some thugs last night.” Heath answers, I cannot help but grin at the way he is trying to cover up he was beaten up by a girl, no pressing charges then. “Oh… how unfortunate, at least he came out alive,” I said, “by the look of injuries he could have died.” I continue to mock the angry Carl. “Oh… aren’t you worried about your boyfriend?” Gian whispers to me, which I respond, “we broke up long ago.” “I am lucky to be alive that…
My phone rang in my arm as I froze in front of Mr. Duncan’s shocked response, a text light up my phone, ID says four leaf clover, ‘I sent Mr. Duncan to get you since you will be working on a project together.’ ‘Sorry.’ ‘Goodluck.’ I receive both texts back-to-back, but it is too late. “Um…...” I heard Mr. Duncan’s voice snapping me back to reality, so I slammed the door in his face screamed my lungs out with embarrassment, before rushing to my room to change. I take my very time to change, one because I need to make sure I am ready and level minded when I see Mr. Duncan again, two because I am really embarrassed of the whole thing, he saw my underwear, how am I going to get out of this? “Fiona, there is a hot guy here to take you to work, apparently four leaves sent him.” Selby chimes, I let her in on what had happened, and she burst out laughing. “Oh God this is gold, can I get a ride to work too? The awkward atmosphere is going to be better than lying to a Karen about being a ma
“You are pregnant? Oh my god you are pregnant.” I was now on my knees crying, after so many years, four years of them trying, four years of me calling my friend to talk her out of her harmful thoughts. “Please don’t cry, you are making me cry as well.” Clover says in tears herself. “I am so happy, oh my god congratulations,” I say hugging her, “Oh, hugging you is safe right we will not hurt our baby?” “Of course, it is I really need a hug right now.” Clover says. We cried together in happiness on the couch, Gian blessed his soul cooked for us since our eyes were too swollen to see and we were tired from all the crying. Since it was late for me to leave, I stayed in the guest room that night. The next morning my mom, (Clover) woke me up after getting my bath ready. And all I had to do was bathe and get dressed as she had already ironed all my work clothes. “Good morning.” I say going downstair for breakfast. “Good morning, I see our little girl is ready for school.” Gian jokes,
“Babe?” Clover says approaching me, she knew when I was angry, I would be like an angry cat. “Don’t babe me, why are those two fools here?” I asked angrily, Selby burst out laughing again, ‘this is going to be a fun cruise’ she muttered happily. “Well remember when you left last week, because we assured you, we will be able to handle the preparations?” Of course, I remember I was given an early leave by Gian and decided to fly to Mauritius before everyone to check out the place taking Selby who was finally fired for messing with customers. I nodded to tell her I remembered. “Well, we could not prepare anything, everything was such a mess, my hormones were all over the place and morning sickness, oh the morning sickness we so infuriating” Clover burst into an emotional rant. “And you went to Mr. Duncan for help? You could have called me,” I ask folding my arms. “We didn’t ask him, and why would I disturb your vacation?” she says calmly, “well we asked Lucas, you know Lucas Davis,
“Hi, love, is something wrong,” he follows my eyes to his crotch, yep, I was caught staring. Our eyes meet and he smirks at me, but I cannot look away from his eyes. If I do, he will think I am embarrassed by looking at his thing so I just pridefully look at this man’s burning eyes. “Ahem” I try to compose myself, “well sorry for bothering your session Mr. Duncan but you are a bit too loud, can you keep it down a little.” “But I am not the one moaning, can I call her, and tell her she is too loud,” he asks making me more furious than I could ever be. “You are the one putting your thing in her so you should be the one to monitor her loud moaning voice.” I shout angrily, making use vague words while referring to their activities. He puts his finger on his chin as if he were thinking of some profound solution that would help the both of us. “Well, Fiona love, can I call you Fiona, or you are hating me because Carl broke up with you makes you hate
