"Hey man how far?" Ethan said and sat down.
"Not good, I have been waiting here for you for almost an hour. You said you were going to be here by five," Clinton complained, looking at his watch.
"The time now is thirty minutes passed six Ethan, I do not like this at all." He said, twitching his forehead.
Ethan stared at him like he was a nothing, "Why are you making a fuse out of nothing? I do not see any reason why you should be complaining, you do not even have a date."
"So you mean I must be on a date before I can complain about sitting down alone and looking around for an hour like a loner, with no one to keep me company?" Clinton inquired, his face looking like the back of a trolley.
"No, that is not what I meant though," Ethan said to him, holding back his laughter. "I am sorry for wasting your time," he added, even though his apology didn't sound like one. It sounded more like a sarcasm.
"That is what I wanted to hear from you, even t
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months.x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xEthan was making a lot of preparations while his friend sent invitations across. The surprise party was going to take place in the great Hall of Calendar. The hall was massive and grand, big in size.Agnes's birthday was around the corner but she seemed less interested in celebrating it. She did not even bother to inform anyone about it, well that was how she had always celebrated her birthday. A day off from work, alone in her house, eating and drinking whatever was available and wishing her self many more birthday celebrations in loneliness and sorrow. Most times she would use that opportunity to go to the orphanage where she had grown up in to share gifts and money among themselves. Then she would cut her cake in their presence and they would all enjoy it. This time around she had already concluded that her birthday wasn't going to be special. One cool thing about Agnes was that e
A knock sounded on Agnes's apartment door. Agnes dismissed whatever she was doing and walked to the door. Obviously she had forgotten that Ethan was coming over. "Who is that?" she asked, not peeping through the hole."It is Ethan," he said staring at his watch. Immediately Agnes became alerted, she peeped through the hole and saw that it was really Ethan. She saw that he was dressed corporately in a black suit and a tie. Agnes tried to remember the occassion of the day. She did not remember any occasion. It was at that moment, that it dawned on her that Ethan was coming to pick her up."Agnes?" Ethan called her, bringing her back from her reverie. "Why are you not opening the door?" He asked on the other side. "Oh sorry," she apologetically spoke out and opened the door immediately. "Hi Ethan," she greeted. "Hi, did I come too early?" he asked, when he noticed she was still in her night wear. "No, not at all. Come inside," she said impatiently. Ethan wal
He brought out a diamond ring. "Agnes it is you or no one else," he declared to her.Whitney was short of words, she stared at him with her mouth agape."Please just say the word yes and you will make me the happiest man ever," he pleaded."Ethan, no Ethan, this is so wrong." She said, taking two steps backwards. "I am so sorry but I do not deserve you, I am nothing compared to your status. You deserve a much better woman," she lectured him in tears."Agnes, you are well aware that I am not concerned about your status. I need you in my life, I want my status to be your own status, your soul be joined together to mine as one, believe me Agnes I would stoop to any level to have you as mine," Ethan let all this words flow out of his mouth."Agnes please marry me," he asked her again.She looked at him for some seconds, then she wiped her and walked back to him and said, "I love you so much and so I agree to marry."Ethan slid the ring to her finger, then he quickly stood up and gave her
"Dad", Ethan's cousin said to his dad. "I suspect that Ethan has an ulterior motive to why he is getting engaged." "Son do not worry, Ethan does not stand a chance against us. Let's play along with him. But keep one thing in mind, we have to get to the bottom of this and I trust you can get to the root of this.""Dad it's gonna be tough but I don't think I have any other option than to get to the bottom of this. Seeing it will be beneficial to me if that Ethan of a thing does not get married." Eric's dad laughed." I am so proud of you my son. I want you to come up with a plan." " I will dad."XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"Clinton", a voice called out from behind.Clinton was about to enter his car before the strange voice called."Clinton", the voice called out again.Clinton turned. " You!" he exclaimed."Are you expecting anyone? Or did you just see a ghost? Come on, my presence should not frighten you," Eric said." Well it doesn't. What are you doing around here?" Clinton asked."I am
"Once the date and auditorium has been changed, they won't be able to wreck my marriage. All you need to do is find me a church and make preparations for a fake invitation card. I will handle the rest."Clinton smiled, "I'm so happy to know that you are really making use of those things in your head."Ethan laughed at Clinton's words.Clinton nodded. "Did you call Agnes?Ethan looked at his friend questionably and spoke up. "Why should I call her?""To postpone the shopping of course.""Yh, that's true. I should call her. She might be waiting for me."Clinton frowned at him, "you are such an asehole."Ethan's eyes widened. "Point of order, I am not an asehole.""Prove it to me," Clinton wheezed.Ethan called Agnes.She answered the call. "Hello Ethan, where are you? Are you still coming?""I'm sorry my love but I am stuck in traffic. You know what? Just go straight home, tomorrow we will go shopping.""Okay," she said with her soft and tiny voice.x x x x x x x x x x x x x"Hello Agnes
"I have been standing for a long time, I am so tired. Do not tire me the more with your questions," Agnes said, glaring up at him.Ethan smiled at her, "were you not the same person that said you didn't mind waiting for me? You had better stop with your pretence or I might be forced to prank you before the day ends."She laughed. "I challenge you then." She put on her seat belt, "you had better start driving or else the night might just reach us."He equally put his on seat belt, "you are right my darling, I was late," he said and started the car."So why were you late?" Agnes asked."I had something important to attend to," he answered."So for being so late and keeping me standing for over twenty minutes, you have to buy whatever I want," she said in a sweet tone.Ethan smiled inwardly, "gold digger," he thought of her inwardly. "Your wish is my command," he voiced out.She smiled at him. "You ain't being formal," she commented.Ethan smirked. "So to where miss?" He asked, his eyes
.....All Clinton needed to do was to discourage Agnes from ever getting Ethan's love."Listen to what I am about to say carefully," he voiced out, looking a bit sad.Agnes nodded her head in agreement."I know my cousin. I have always known him. Trust me, the day you will not expect, he will throw a divorce paper at your front and force you to sign it. Then he will slowly take everything he gave to you, back. I can even my life on this," Eric snarled ferociously."Why would Ethan do a thing like that to me?" She asked him, with so much boldly written in her eyes."It's because he had never loved you. He only wants to have you as his pawn," Eric paused. "I guess I should stop here," he considerately said to her, after seeing the sorrowful expression on her face. "Let's go out and have lunch," Ethan added.Agnes accepted his offer, this was what she needed more, "I will go through my schedules, if it's free, I will come with you to lunch."Eric nodded, "alright, if there is anything I
Agnes woke up. She stretched her hand to the other side of the bed and whispered. "Ethan."The bed was empty. She got startled. "Ethan," she called in a haste voice."I am the right here," he said faintly. He was seated on the bed and drew the blanket to cover her half naked body.x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x"What happened yesterday night?"

I need an answer.""Yes, you were drunk," she said in a fierce tone."Tell me something. Did I touch you?" he asked."Yes," she answered, with a hideous smile on her face. Finally her husband had touched her sexually. "I thought you didn't love me Ethan but yesterday you proved just how much
