****VAL'S POV*** I stood by the window, peeking at him, he has been there for an hour now , I wonder what he is waiting for? Is he planning to sleep in the car? That is my boss, I think I was a bit hard on him with my choice of words, I can't stand arrogant and toxic men. Just then his car lights flashed and he drove off. I went back to the couch, my eyes closed, Daniel?How could he ask me that, it's not even his business. I am not his property, Daniel is a good friend, and …. nothing more. I opened my eyes. The giant teddy bear was the first thing that my gaze held. I got up and went to it, the gift bags surrounded it. I picked them up and checked the contents. Sanitary care items, hairs, and jewels, chocolates bars and cakes. I resisted the cakes and chocolate and kept them back, I had to give it out or he did think he was my lord after this gift. But it's a gift, my parents do tell me, a gift should be appreciated no matter how small, but this is how big actually and the
"Girl you are crazy, I have my man ", Esther defended herself. Both of them laughed, I laughed awkwardly with them, not sure if they are joking or seriously shading Kamsy. Never thought one day someone will blast Kamsy for that. "Esther or whatever your name, it's not anyone's fault your eight years relationship hasn't even led to a marriage not to talk of pregnancy". Kamsy snapped from her office, the male colleagues murmured tired of our drama. "Oh I am okay at least I don't steal my best friend's fiance, I mean who can be that evil to do that? So insecure right Val?"Esther stated. I looked up and found them looking at me in expectation. As an introvert, I don't know what to do, since I am not used to having friends and knowing the bitch way of doing stuff like this. "Babes, can we just let the backstabber be, only losers can be stolen, I am so over it". Wow I said that!They burst out laughing, proud of me I think. "Sure"Esther replied. "If you have other nice hair extens
***DANIEL’S POV***I stared at my phone for hours, I can’t believe she didn’t even bother to check on me. I closed my eyes and cursed. “Go home now Daniel, she's with me”.His voice sounds so dark, you did think he would cut off my throat.I opened my eyes with my brow arched. That fool, all he knows is how to get a woman to bed,he can never be a better man for Val than myself.He can’t just come from anywhere and take her away from me,I was an idiot for not staying back that night. All I wanted was for her to be happy again, I want her to be with me. I wonder if she is angry that I ignored her calls too. Could it be that she is with him today? Did he sleep at her place yesternight?I tried not to think about her together with that spoiled brat, his charms will work on any woman and Valerie is not immune to those charms. If he eventually hurts her in the end, I won’t forgive myself for not protecting her.I got up from the couch and dialed her number repeatedly but she didn’t answer
****VALERIE’S POV***“Well he is sure enjoying himself over there”.I mumbled.“You are jealous you can’t hide it”.Zoey cuts into my thoughts.I looked down at her and squinted my eyes.“What now Zoey?”“Can you scare those girls off my brother?“she replied.“Scare them off how?”“Pretending to be his girlfriend”,“Oh no Zoey you are not so smart, did you see those ladies there, their shapes and status, they are icons and celebrities, you want me to compete with them?”I replied in annoyance.“Trust me all you need is confidence”.“Bad news I don’t have it”.I stare across the room again and found her chuckling and touching his muscles with a finger.I frowned and pouted.“Zoey, where can I get a gym outfit?”I told Zoey, her eyes lightened up with excitement.“So you are doing it!”“I am not going this because of anything else but because you asked for it”I replied.Actually I can’t stand that Barbie doll girl, touching every part of his body.“Dea!”Zoey smiled and took me to a bout
He pulled me towards the elevator, pressed the button and pinned me to the wall till the elevator closed and started moving.“What was that about?”he asked huskily, staring into my soul.Oh lord not those eyes again.I chuckled nervously. “It was just a bet I played with Zoey, it's nothing serious”.“Nothing serious? You touched me inappropriately …”he replied.“I think I went far by doing that, I am so…”He matched his lips on mine and kissed me deeply, my brain went blank, his lips still that effective to me, it never changes.I felt his finger crawling up my legs, I hissed at the sensitive brush of his finger against my channel while he kissed my neck down to my cleavage.“We are in the elevator, Prince,”I whispered, trying not to moan.“You touched me like this infront of everyone, don’t tell me you are shy in here, we are alone”.He whispered huskily.Just then someone clears her throat.We both froze and looked towards the direction, an elderly woman was frowning at us as if sh
He parked the car and got down, walked into the judiciary office.“Aren’t you coming?”Zoey said, smiling broadly.“Zoey this is a joke right? What are you two up to”I said to her still as shocked as I have never been in my whole life.There’s no way we are getting married. I am sure he will need a birth certificate and family members etc so this is definitely one of those expensive pranks.“I thought you said yes..sweet Valerie?”Zoey demanded.“I said what… I don’t know what the heck he said before that but…. I am quite sure I said what!”“Well I don’t understand why you love my brother and me yet you are so scared of getting married”.She replied, trying to blackmail me with love.“Well I don’t know what you think of marriage bu
“Aww she is so happy and it made her cry!”One of the women said , I quickly dried my face off and frowned at Prince.“This is all your fault, you better don’t tell anyone about this expensive joke”I snapped at him.He was surprised at the sudden mood switch then smiled.“If that’s the way you want it,I can do that”.“Look at the camera ma’am “.I was still talking, Zoey and Prince posed for the camera.I was standing like I was surrounded by zombies,my eyes widened,rethinking my whole existence and how I ended up here.Zoey even took my banquet to pose and I have no idea because my head was blank and absent minded.They look like they are having fun with the photos.“Can we get even a more romantic pose?”the camera man suggested.Prince suddenly p
Her gaze went to the wall click, she jumped out of the bed.“Oh my God, I need to visit Daniel tonight”.She said getting her phone from her bag.Is she serious right now?“Will you please take me to see him?”She pleaded with very honest eyes.I forced a smile and nodded, I guess I was happy she wanted me to come with her. That's some relief.*****VAL’S POV****We got to the car and headed to his place. I was so sad, his missed calls were all over my phone. I can’t imagine how bad he must be feeling right now.I bought ice cream on our way and some chocolate too, he loves them.All the way, Prince said nothing,he only stole glances at me.I didn’t bother to ask him knowing he might not be comfortable with me visiting Daniel but I won’t let whatever he is thinking stop me from going there.
