Mary’s heart started beating fast as she slowly turned to look at her. The rage and fire in her eyes as she looked at her made her even more scared and alarmed. Mary thought she might have found her out, or perhaps she knew all along but choose to be quiet. Now this person showing up at their house might have probably aroused her anger.Mary tried as much as she could to avoid Emma’s gaze, her anger seemed to be on edge at that very moment, and it looked like she was about to lash out at her. Mary had no one else to blame than the lady who had showed up at their house few minutes ago to try to get an interview from her. “Yes Ms. Emma” she finally answered with shaky voice, with her head bowed, looking at her shoes. “Do not even let any of all these lowlife journalists into this house ever again, and mind you, they could be disguised as anything while coming so you have to be wise to fish them out and throw them right back into the streets where they belong. Do you hear me?” She
Mary wondered who it was that Emma was talking to and what they could be talking about. She could not get anything from what they were saying, but she was certain it was not Adonis she was talking to. “What if she comes in here and sees me?” Mary whispered. “Oh! My God I’m so dead”. She started looking around the study for a suitable place to hide herself in case Emma decides to come in there. “I think under the table would do” she tried fitting herself under he table and due to her small size, she fit in perfectly well. But what she did not know was if she was still visible from there.However luck shone on her, few minutes later she could no longer hear their voices, it looked like they were gone.Mary rushed to the door and opened it a crack, she looked left and right, and confirmed they were really gone before she finally stepped out of the room. She finally let out a sigh of relief when she came out of the room. Then her thought went back to Adonis.“I wonder where he ha
Mary was stunned, but she stood still anyways. She had been looking for him after all, maybe they could even drive home together. She stood waiting there with a smile, waiting for the car to come close, but much to her amazement it drove right past her, but she was more shocked that he passed through another route that did not lead to his house. "Where could he be going to by this time". Probably to find another woman, but why did he ignore her? Probably that was not him. Mary shrugged her shoulders and started walking home. The air outside that might seemed cool, Mary felt her hair been blown backwards by the breeze. While she walked she could not just stop thinking about Adonis. She was surprised to see Adonis car packed in the driveway when she got home. That meant the car she saw was definitely not him. "I'm sorry for thinking ill of you" she said aloud to no one in particular. Maybe now that he was at home she would have the opportunity to see him and apologize f
He disengaged from her to pick his phone, and only then did she have a feel of fresh air. The hotness she felt from his torture started to cool down a bit. “This is an important call, I need to take it. Goodnight” he kissed her softly on her lips before he walked away. “Wow!” Mary exclaimed.Mary had again realized that she was totally smitten by him, there was not more escape for here. “It’s not like I want to escape though” Mary sat in the sitting room for a bit longer, secretly hoping that Adonis comes back to join her. Perhaps they could continue from where they stopped.But after waiting for a long time and he did not come down. “Maybe the call was that important that it’s taking all his time” Mary tried concentrating on the series showing on the T.V while munching on her cake. But seeing that she could not concentrate, she decided to go to bed instead.Mary arrived at her at noon, her parents were so happy to see her. “You look so grown up now* her mother said looki
Mary started coughing when her father asked about Coney island. “Here, have some water baby”. He mother handed her a glass of water. “Thanks mom” “Careful so you don’t get choked with your food” dad said. She nodded. “Coney island is actually doing very well, calm as always” she smiled. “Honey do you know that Mary had been to Tribeca” her mother chapped in causing Mary to role her eyes “Really”. Her dad looked surprised “Actually I was there with my colleagues for some work” “You know I used to work there some time ago, all those rich and fancy looking people who stay there” “You know I’ve missed this” Mary immediately cut in. “I mean all of us sitting here and having a meal together as a family”. “Although there’s one person missing here” Mrs. Wilberforce added. “And I’ve not heard from him for the longest time, regardless tomorrow he would be here and we would all be complete”. “Cheers to that” Mary lifted up her glass.While they ate, Mary tried to
That night, Mary dreamt about Adonis, in her dream she saw Adonis and herself walking hand in hand in a garden. Although it was not the same garden in his house. He would occasionally bend down and Edison some sweet nonsense in her ears causing her to laugh her stomach out. They looked so in love that Mary started to think it was real. She woke up much later with a huge smile on her face, only to realize it was all just a dream. But she still couldn’t get rid of the big smile that has gotten stuck there and had refused to leave no matter how much she tried. Mary berated herself for smiling so much, even though she knew it was all a dream, a dream that would never come true. She remembered he had told her before that he did not have a heart, and that he was only going to have sex with her. The thought about having sex with Adonis, lying naked side by side with him on the bed, with those strong hands of his all over her body made her body react immediately. She bit her lower lip tryin
“There is my sweet little sister” Clay exclaimed the moment he sighted Mary. Mary rushed over to hug him. “And there is my sweet big brother, have you been well?” “As you can see” he spread his arms wide. “You don’t look bad my dear” he said turning her around. “I know how to take care of myself remember” she teased “Yes I can see that, you have really done a lot of growing up all these while, I can hardly believe this is my little sister” he said spinning her around. “Of course, when you have forgotten about me all these while, you have not even bothered to check up on your little sister” Mary said frowning. “That’s not the case, and you know it, I have been working on a lots of things and it had taken a whole lot of my time” “To the point that you forgot about me?” “Of course not —” they were interrupted by Mrs Wilberforce voice. “Someone seems to be invisible here” “Oh! There goes my sweetest mum” he goes over to hug his mother. “You were so carried awa
“Well I have…..” “When are we meeting him?” He asked excitedly.Mary looked alarmed. “Meeting who?”. Clay raised his brows. “The man responsible for your smiles” “Well…. Err….” Mary had no idea what to say, there was one man responsible for her smiles, but what she did not know was if they had any relationship, she did not even know her place in his life or heart so there was no way she was going tell her brother that she had something going on with a man she was not even sure if he considered her in any way. “Well…. There is no man”. She finally said “Yet?” “Yes”. “I see, so you don’t intend on having any relationship now or you are yet to find the man after your heart” he winked at her. “I have no idea, I’m actually in a very confused state right now” “Okay, so let’s start from asking, what’s your ideal man? I mean the qualities you would look for in your ideal man?” Mary sat up on her seat and smiled a bit “Okay” she cleared her through and start
