REGGIE AND CHRIS- A night of forgetting
Christian Ayettey thought himself to be a cowardly nerd.
I mean, granted… he had shed the scrawny-boy-in-glasses look over the years, but he was still very much the same inside.
He may have gained muscle, gained confidence, lots of money and all of that shit, but he was still very much that same boy when it came to women.
Why, you ask?
Well, I’ll tell you.
He had been pinning after Louisa Mensah way back in college, when she was just a young girl passionate about seeking justice for the innocent. He had been by her side when her heart had been shattered by her devastating breakup. He had been her friend way before Naa Larley had entered their lives.
Even then, he had been in love with her.
But he had been scared.
Scared that the love he felt for her was only one-sided.
Scared that their friendship would be compromised if he told her how s
There you go, First chapter of Chris and Reggie's story.
REGGIE AND CHRIS- The morning afterReggie woke up with a groan.God!Her head hurt so badly.She couldn’t tell where she was, but she was positive that it definitely not her room. Her room wasn’t this big, and her room definitely didn’t have floor to ceiling windows.Fuck.Her eyes weren’t used to such brightness first thing in the morning.Wait.She didn’t even know if it was still morning yet.A groggy look at her person told her she had no clothes on.She couldn’t remember anything.What had happened last night?She was trying so hard to recall, but all she could come up with was nothing.Reggie tried to get out of bed, her hand grasping weakly at the covers to make way for her to crawl out. She had been right, the bed was definitely not hers. It was too huge and way more comfortable. The graceful woma
REGGIE AND CHRIS- We meet again (part 1)The door to William’s office flew open and he waltzed in, looking impeccable as ever.Reggie waited for the usual butterflies she got whenever he was in her presence or in the vicinity even, but it never came.The feeling was so sudden… so unexpected that it had her questioning if she had really loved him.Because looking at him now, she felt… nothing.Had her feelings for him been a desperate, last resort by her brain to make a connection with somebody? Was she ever going to feel the joy of a true connection with someone that was specially made just for her and only her?Was she ever going to find her soul mate?The blue eyed man was wary, that much she could tell. She couldn’t even fault him for feeling that way, especially when the last time they had last seen each other didn’t end on such a great note.She gave him a small smile.
REGGIE AND CHRIS- We meet again (part 2)Chris settled heavily in the chair facing William's desk.He was honestly speaking, an amalgamation of emotions.He couldn't really describe how he was feeling, all he knew was that, he hadn't been the same after the incident two weeks ago.He felt so bad, and that feeling was causing him to be distant with Louisa and everyone else.She had called in the first week to check up on him, but after his dull, seemingly angry tone and one worded answers, she had stopped.Chris guessed it was to give him space and that made him feel much worse.He knew he hadn't technically done anything wrong but the feeling still gnawed at his bones.And now he had gone after William's ex.True, he didn't know who she was, but he had been super close to breaking the bro code.He had been so pissed seeing her standing with William like that, and honestly speaking, the first thing that had co
REGGIE AND CHRIS- Back in the game?Reggie was super stressed.The annual Ghanaian Fashion Week was just two weeks away, and she was piled with so much work.At thirty five, the supermodel knew she didn’t have that much time left in the active fashion industry. It was the main reason why she was venturing into the clothes designing aspect.Ever since she was little, the woman had known what she had wanted to be, and she had been lucky to have understanding, doting parents who had moved heaven and earth to make sure that her dreams had become a reality.They had moved abroad and actively encouraged her to pursue arts in preschool, middle and high school.And then when she didn’t get called by her dream fashion school, they had paid an absurd amount of money to ensure that she got in. The money had been refunded because there had been some initial mistake that had been resolved later on, but Reggie had been s
REGGIE AND CHRIS- The escapeReggie stared at Chris in total confusion.“What the hell are you talking about? What child?”Chris studied her, looking for any signs of acting or… something, but he realised that she was genuinely confused. “You didn’t know?” He asked her.She shook her head.“Well, you’re pregnant.” He confirmed. “Now, I didn’t think it was my place so I haven’t called William yet, that’s assuming it’s even his in the first place…”Reggie wasn’t listening to a single thing the man was saying, her brain was furiously doing calculations and making deductions.She had missed her period, but she didn’t really think much of it.She had blamed her stress and crazy resting and eating patterns for the skip. Plus it usually happened, so it wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. Fu
REGGIE AND CHRIS- Things are going to changeHonestly speaking, when Chris opened the door and found her missing, and checked the bathroom and washroom and didn’t find her there, he knew right there and then that she had left.But he still wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.And so he had gone out and searched the hospital halls, checked other wards… asked the nurses even. But no one had seen her.He had returned back to her ward and checked the drawers after his search had yielded no response, and that was when he had found that her clothes and car keys gone.Chris grinned.For some reason he thought this would have been an easy task. He had forgotten for a moment just how annoying the supermodel was, he really should have known that she wasn’t just going to sit back and do his bidding just because he had said so.Oh, but he had a plan.She was definitely going to move in with him,
REGGIE AND CHRIS- The PropositionReggie finished the whole carton of apple fruit juice and the packet of biscuits, much to her pleasant surprise. She hadn’t eaten that well in days, and she honestly felt so much better already.Chris on the other hand was very pleased.He had been covert in his observations, but seeing the annoying vixen eat and knowing that she was doing it to sustain herself and his unborn child was doing something to his insides.He was feeling so high, he wanted to climb to the highest mountain to shout that he was going to be a father.He still couldn’t believe it!It truly felt too good to be true.But at this point, he was done trying to make sense of the mechanisms of fate. He was going to do his best to make sure that the cards he had been dealt with worked in his favor.He heard Reggie clear her throat shyly, the action snapping him out of his thoughts.“I-I didn&rsq
REGGIE AND CHRIS- The ruined breakfastReggie had never been this bored in her life!It had already been a week since she agreed to her baby daddy’s crazy proposition and she could swear that she was already starting to regret the decision.You see, Reggie had always felt that the housewife kind of life was never meant for her.And the past week had proved her completely right!But at least things would have been a bit more bearable if she was seeing said baby daddy often. The man mostly kept to himself, meeting her in the dining room for breakfast and lunch and supper only, and then shutting himself in his study for the rest of the day.He was with her in the house, but it for sure didn’t feel like it to the supermodel.Plus, without her phone or laptop, Reggie had only television to keep her company through the lonely times, and she wasn’t much of a TV person so you can just imagine how lonely she
