Chapter eleven.
"Get out, you have a guest."
"Guest?, What guest?." I wasn't expecting anyone, heck I didn't even know anyone. I took my phone and checked the time, it was just 08:30 so who could it be.
I got up and grabbed my robe. Putting it on, I headed downstairs to find Sloan waiting impatiently for me. I sat on the couch close to his and crossed my leg. "What brings you here so early?"
"Isn't it obvious?, I'm here to know your decision."
"I told you I would call you."
"Well I'm here now so you might as well just tell me."
"Fine. I thought about it last night and decided that it wouldn't be a terrible thing to do."
"So you're interested?"
"Yes, but you have to treat me with the respect I

The drive to the restaurant was a long one, but the uncomfortable silence we shared made it seem even longer. I wanted to say something to get rid of this deafening silence that consumed the entire car but I was terrible atstarting conversations. Neither of us said a word till we got there and when we walked in, I bumped into someone someone I didn't expect to see."Melanie!" I said in surprise and she smiled and came to hug me."Oh my saviour, it's so good to see you." She moved back but didn't let go of my hand. "Henry, this is hazel. The girl I was telling you about.""Hazel" he said as he looked at me from my head to my toe then up again but his gaze lingered on my body long enough to make me feel slightly uncomfortable. He bent so we were on the same level and asked "You, haven't we met before?""No, I don't think so."I avoided his gaze and focused my attention on a table ahead."You're right. The lady I met was much more ugl

It was a new week, sloan and I were already a fake couple. I told myself that I wouldn't fall for him no matter what and I was doing averagely okay. I adjusted my hair as I waited by the door. This would make it the third time I'd be coming to Melanie's place. She has been trying so hard to be close to me, so much that it's making me quite uncomfortable because I wasn't used to people coming close to me.She smiled brightly as she opened the door and hugged me. "Oh, it's good to see you too." I said as I hugged her back."I'm sorry I kept you waiting for too long, I was just getting dressed." She pulled me by the hand and led me inside. "I need your help." She said as we both sat down."What do you need?""There's this guy I like, but he doesn't like me back." "So what am I supposed to do about that?""I need your help to get his attention.""How on Earth am I supposed to do that?" I laughed but I noticed that she actually looked a little hurt. "Look Melanie, I don't know much about

"Are you really planning on not going?""Of course I am. She just called me and told me to go somewhere and she was really expecting me to go?""Come on dude. She told you she wanted to introduce you to her friends.""I don't remember telling her I was interested in meeting them.""Come on Henry, don't embarrass her.""Why should I care if she's embarrassed or not?, It's not my fault she doesn't know how to plan a proper outing.""Just do it for old times sake. Go, don't be an asshole.""Fuck you Jackson.""Just go, and quit being difficult."Knowing Jackson, he'd never let me hear the end of it if I didn't go so I just decided to. I didn't bother changing my outfit, even though I knew I was under dressed.When I arrived at the restaurant, Melanie noticed me first and she smiled but I noticed her. She looked beautiful, she was beautiful. I took my time strolling casually to the table, even though I was late. "These are the friends you want to introduce me to?, My employee and his rude

HENRY"What're you doing here?" She sat across me and smiled like this was something we did often."Henry, why are you being distant?""What do you mean?, Were we ever close?""We would have gotten married if it wasn't for what happened.""Well we didn't get married, and thank God we didn't cause I don't think I want to be married to you.""Do you have to be so mean all the time?""Mean?, I'm simply being honest.""Anyway, I'd like you to do something for me."I leaned forward in my seat and removed my glasses. "You want me," I put a hand on my chest "to do something for you." I pointed at her and she nodded. "You're funny.""Why?, Hazel asked me to meet her at her boyfriend's pizza place and I don't wanna go alone.""Hazel," that woman, I didn't like hearing her name. Since the last time we met, she's been living in my brain, refusing to go away. I wasn't so sure I wanted to see her again, yet I desperately wanted to. "When?""Thank you." Melanie smiled at me, she must have thought I

HAZELI sat in the taxi thinking about Henry. He seemed so nice and calm, nothing like the cold guy I knew. I smiled to myself, remembering how he looked at me when I said he was kinda cute. Hey babe, I'm sorry about earlier. I'll make it up to you.My mind went back to Sloan and I frowned, I didn't know he was still seeing that girl, though we didn't get back together but still, he should respect the time we spend together.When I got home, the girls were all around and they wanted to know how the date went. "Relax, I'll tell you everything after I shower.""Oh come on, tell us first. You can always shower afterwards.""Okay okay." I told them everything and the girls called Sloan all sorts of terrible names. Naomi grabbed me and warned me not to fall in love with him or else she would disown me. "Aye aye captain." We all laughed and they went on to tell me how they spent their days.Ava asked about Henry, and when I told them about him I couldn't stop smiling. "Ooh, somebody's in lo

HENRY"Who could it be at such a late hour?" I glanced at the wall clock, 08:44pm. I lazily got up from the couch and strolled slowly to the door."I want more." My eyes widened in surprise when I saw her."Who gave you my address?" She ignored my question and walked in. I shut the door and joined her in the living room."I want more." She repeated without looking at me."Woman, please be specific about your request." She turned to face me but didn't say anything. "Well?," I waited for her to talk but instead she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. "Oh" I said when she ended the kiss and she nodded.I cupped the side of her face and put a loose strand of hair behind her ear. I kissed her cheeks, her nose, her eyes, her forehead...and then her lips. Softly at first but I deepened the kiss, demanding a response from her and I got one when I felt her hands go up my neck to my hair. She parted her lips and I slid my tongue in her mouth, exploring the sweet darkness.She moaned an

HAZELI smiled to myself as I walked to Henry's office, he must have been eager to see me, judging from the text messages and call.I noticed him on the way to his office and I called out to him but he didn't hear me. Something seemed to be bothering him because he was frowning at his phone. He held the device up to his ear and my phone rang, again. He was happy to see me.I smiled and increased my pace but stopped when an older man approached him. They talked for a while and as they spoke, Henry's expression went from being calm to being angry in a split second.I got closer to hear what they were discussing that made him so furious. I heard the man say Melanie, and marriage and it caught my attention. The man yelled at Henry and the words that came out of his mouth made me stop in my tracks. "What?" I said before I was able to stop myself."Hazel, when did you get here?" Henry came to stand by my side while the man just stared at me like he wanted me to just drop dead. "I called y

I sat across Henry after Melanie and Sloan had left. I didn't know what to say to him and he was just staring at me, smiling like a little kid. "Look Henry, I know I said I was in love with you but I just want you to know that I'm not an easy girl to deal with." He smiled even more brightly and nodded repeatedly. "If I decide to go out with you, you have to promise me that you're going to stop seeing other girls."Yes ma'am.""I mean it, and you have to stop being mean to people, and you have to love me, and only me, and-""Hazel," he held my hand and stared into my eyes, making my heart seize for a moment. "I love you, I don't know how it happened, I don't know when it happened, all I know is that you mean so much to me, and I promise you that I'll never do anything to hurt you." He smiled and it made me smile too.My heart fluttered with the way he smiled so tenderly. Henry was nothing like Sloan. When I was with Sloan, I was happy, sure but with Henry, it's just so different. I did
