KRISTEN dropped the phone and rolled her eyes. She just got off the phone with Frederick."Thinking of the devil, he called" She mumbled, poking her egg with the fork.After the stranger, Lucian left, she had not put much thought into him and retorted to eating her breakfast. She was doing that until Frederick called and made an offer to see her.She stared at her shades close to her purse. She was definitely staring at it but her mind was far from it."Why was he sounding so afraid over the phone?"She sighed, creasing her brows. This is not making sense to her. She is afraid to start something with him and he is afraid to even call her. Who would make the move between the two of them?She heard a giggle and looked up to see her sister coming into the restaurant with a guy. She was heavily dressed in dark shades and a black leather jacket and this tight skirt that would allow her to walk.It looked like she was trying so hard to walk with the clothes.The guy looked like one of the
"But just remember one thing, if I really want to crush you, I know what to do and I am sure you know what"Cherry's last words could not stop replaying in her mind as Kristen drives home. She knows what her sister is talking about and she knows Cherry is so evil that she would go to any extent to pull someone down."Who cares, what's the worst that can happen to me now? Nothing"She said out loud, taking a deep breath."When you decide to run away from a problem, another problem meets you. What a life?"Kristen thought and continued driving.The day does look good for her. First, her mother appeared and now, her sister ran into her. It's a clear sign to Kristen that the day might turn out sour for her."Let's see how it goes, my life has not been the best of it all and I can't remember a day that has favored me."She tuned the music to at least take her mind off so many thoughts. She doesn't want to get lost in the song and crash into something.After a few minutes of driving, she
Kristen looked at Frederick's face and noticed he was nervous, his Adam's apple bobbed when he swallows."Do I make your breath hitch"?Kristen chuckled when Frederick shook his head slowly. His hand reached up to gently cup her cheek."You know me so well".He said while kissing her forehead."I did not realize I do. I wonder how come? We just met. How can I know you so we?"Kristen asked, staring into his eyes. She saw something she could not recognize but it seemed familiar somehow."You know me".She heard him say in a low tone. Kristen didn't say anything and just watched as her eyes roamed his face. The soft skin under his eyes and the stubble growing. His dark wavy hair makes the color darker, " you're my whole world".Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt Fredrick's hand rubbing against the nape of her neck."You want more than sex right? " Kristen's question left her mouth before her brain could process it. Frederick looked deep into her eyes.His expression was unreada
Noami got cussed with her phone as she waited for Cherry to arrive. It has been fifteen minutes since she arrived yet no sign of her.She had contacted Cherry after Kristen and Frederick left. She felt she was delaying too much so she had asked Cherry to meet her at Black Coast Bar at the heart of the town. Cherry did not want to go but when she heard that it had to do with Kristen, she had no choice but to go to honor the stranger's call.Cherry walked into the bar, another fifteen minutes later, and looked around. She had not removed the dress she was wearing earlier this morning when she ran into Kristen.There were pretty a lot of single ladies on their own and she can't seem to know which one is the stranger that called her so she decided she should try the phone.A phone rang from the east coast of the bar and she knew right away that it is the lady sitting with her eyes glued to her phone, whom she had come to meet.Her dressing was amusing to her and Cherry wondered why a la
For a few minutes, no one said anything to each other.Noami was really impatient, she could not wait for Cherry to say what she wanted to hear. For Cherry to keep quiet, means that Cherry is considering telling her.Cherry took another Sip from her beer and then rocked her seat to and fro. Noami can’t help but wonder why she hasn’t said something yet. She is really starting to lose her patience with Cherry."I was just 10 when my dad decided to get married to another woman. I wasn't so happy about it. I had mixed feelings, I was going to have a new mom yet I was not ready to share my dad with anyone. Dad was getting married again after my mom left us. After much consideration, I thought it is best if dad gets married"Noami was listening intently and trying not to show it on her face. She doesn't understand what this story cherry is telling her has got to do with Kristen's past still she did not interrupt."My new mom was introduced and I was so disappointed, she already had a da
For the next hour, Frederick was still on the wheel and Kristen was getting restless."We've been going around in circles," she pointed out for what felt like the fiftieth time that hour.Frederick took his eyes off the road to look at the whining gorgeous lady with him."You seem not to be concentrating then. Am I so handsome that you focused on me rather than the road?"He smirked and continued looking at her."Please, just look at the road. I don't want to get killed now. My life has not been perfect but I still want to live"She mumbled to herself, she did not want Frederick to hear what she said but she did a very bad job at it because he heard her loud and clear even though her voice was low.The smile fell from his face and he turned back to focus on the road.Kristen sighed heavily."Sorry about that. I know you are trying to take my mind off the journey and the girl I am would not admit it, rather I am transferring aggression to you."Frederick said nothing other than to
"You are right. You seem to know much about them?"Frederick asked impressed ''We were told that their heiress is unknown. That no one has set eyes on her,"he added."I wonder why, Maybe is for security purposes. You can't tell who is after the lady"Kristen stated and Frederick agreed with her."That's right because without her being alive, THE PHILLIPS will be overthrown by the Mafia Lords"Frederick stated the reason why she has to be protected and Kristen could agree less " She must really be an asset, that's why she has to be protected by all means" Kristen keyed in, nodding her head.Silence greeted them as Frederick continued to drive them deeper into the street, after a while, he took a turn to the left and eventually stopped at an open area. Looking at it, one could tell that it is a sea area.The sea was not in sight but the air is so chilly that there is no doubt that they were near the sea.Frederick parked and Kristen got down in awe."What is this place?" She asked, be
So much she needed to tell him and he let her. He kissed her back, letting himself get lost in the love they had for each other. She pulled away and leaned on her elbows, still looking at him as if searching for something in his eyes that he might not be able to give her. Then he understood what exactly she wanted."Come here," he whispered, moving closer towards her, making sure to keep their noses from touching as they lay there tangled in the sheets.Her lips were warm against his but her tongue soon followed, licking him with an urgency he'd never felt before. His breath hitched.His hands roamed under the fabric of the dress covering her chest, his fingertips brushing lightly against her stomach where her skin glowed in the sunlight streaming through the window. Her fingers curled around his, pulling him even closer. When he slid his hand up her bare thigh, she broke the kiss to let out a small gasp. The sensation sent heat straight to his groin.The room seemed smaller, hotter s
