Loved By A Real Man

Rosie watched Owen as he smiled happily while chatting with God knows who on his cellphone. She sighed sadly. she was seated on a side stool placed beside him."Owen," she called him for the third time and just like before, she got no reply. Watching him resting his head on the couch while engrossed in his phone stepped on her anger scale. The deep purple curtain cast a dull purple shadow on her skin, her face glowed from the effect of the florescent bulb on the white painted wall and it registered no sign of smiles. A look at the clock showed that it was 8:43pm already, and she knew it was just a matter of time before Uju, her flatmate, starts bombarding her with messages and calls just be certain she was all right. Adjusting her position on the side stool, she turned her gaze back to Owen. "Owen, I'm talking to you." She called again, this time, tapping him gently on the shoulder. "You've been giving me the silent treatment, what is wrong with you?" She asked. "I've been giving y

Gregory's wet chest glistered with the glow from the sun. He glided smoothly out of the swimming pool and sat comfortably on the lounge chair, turning to Maxwell who was lying on one of the chaise, a sun shade on his eyes and a glass of wine."Oh Max, how I love this place, I can't even begin to explain it." Gregory said, pouring some wine into the empty glass placed on a side stool beside his chaise."I know, man, it is a home away from home. Somewhere you can run to and hide comfortably without the hassle we face every other day at work." Maxwell replied. "Believe me, Drewers remain one of the most beautiful and serene location in the whole of Palverase." he added."I agree." Greg said, leaning his back on the chair as he sipped from his glass. "I'm thinking of bringing my children down here whenever Nelson visits. Or I'll just bring Angelina and we can come again when Nelson visits. She rarely have time for herself and her boyfriend, oh, that boy is just too calm. He can't even hatc

"Are you ready to order now ma'am?" The waiter returned with a smiley face."Oh, not really. I'm actually waiting for someone. So, I'll just have a glass of water. We'll order when he arrive." Rosie replied him gingerly."Alright ma'am," he bowed and left to get her order.Rosie's cheeks with embarrassment. She picked up phone and called Owen again."Owen, where exactly are you?" She almost screamed into the phone. He sighed so loud before proceeding to talk. "I'm on the way. Stop bugging me with calls. These incessant calls won't make me appear suddenly. You couldn't even ask why I'm held up or do you think I'm playing here?" He asked with a raised voice."How am I supposed to know if you're playing. What sort of embarrassment is this. If today wasn't such a good day for us, why couldn't you just tell me than bring me out here to embarrass me." She said almost in tears and hung up immediately, scared to say one more word and refusing to give in to her tears.The sound of the waite

Rosie walked into the premises of Brass Enterprise. The company was situated at the centre of the city. It is a very big company that had Rosie gushing over the mighty building. Earlier on, Owen had made poor Rosie's day at the office a living hell. Having waited for the signed contracts all through Monday but didn't get them. He had placed several calls to Brass Enterprise and was told Gregory was in a meeting. He even dropped series of messages with his secretary but received no reply. So, once Rosie came in that morning, he didn't allow her some breathing space. So Rosie had to come to Brass Enterprise to see Mr . Gregory and apologize because she felt he might be stalling with the contract as a form punishment for her rudeness.Stepping into the reception, She was met by Gregory's Secretary who looked everything but friendly."Good afternoon ma'am." She greeted."Good afternoon ma'am." the secretary replied shifting her gaze briefly from her computer screen."Please I'm here to

"Hello mama" Rosie called out as she opened the door to her mum's apartment."Is that my pumpkin?" Mrs. Bainer shouted from the Kitchen."Flesh and Blood." She replied, making her way to the kitchen to give her mother a hug."What's happening, you're so lean" Mrs. Bainer complained looking at her daughter. "You haven't been eating well, have you?""Oh Mama, please. I've been eating well enough. You don't have to worry about me." Rosie replied planting a soft kiss on her mother's right cheek.Evelyn Bainer stared at her daughter for a while. Obviously she had so much she wanted to say but she decided against it."Annie!" She called as she took Rosie back to the sitting room.""Annie is home?" Rosie asked happily."Yes, she's up in her room getting set for her date. Her boyfriend is picking her up soon.""Mum!!" Annie called as she walked in on them and overheard her mum."What? I was only giving her an answer to a question. Why are you giving me that look?" Evelyn asked innocently."Yo
