Chapter 54Derrick’s point of view The next morning Zora and I were done with breakfast and heading to Mr Noah’s office. I was surprised and happy she didn't act so awkward about what happened last night. We both talked and laughed and felt so comfortable around each other. We finally got to Mr Noah’s office and headed in by the directions of his secretary. He wanted a business plan with us, which I saw coming but I wasn't sure if Zora would like that as we didn't come here for business. Any decision she makes I am going with it. We left his office and decided on giving him a feedback after having a thought about it. “Should we go back home? Or we can just go hang out somewhere for sometime.” I asked Zora, I wanted us to spend more fun time together. “Yes I think that would be good.” Luckily she agreed. “So where do you think we can go have fun?” I asked her and shrugged a little. “I think we should head back home.” She said and I looked at her with slightly furrowed brows.
Chapter 55Derick’s point of view My eyes met a very beautiful yet simple woman, her beautiful flared dress with roses designs, to round it all up she looked so captivating. “You look so gorgeous in that gown.” I couldn't stop myself from complimenting her and she smiled and walked close to me but not so close. “Thank you, Derrick and you look good too.” She chuckled a little. “Thank you.” I laughed. “I'll go get the baskets.” She wanted to turn and leave for the kitchen. “It's already in the car, I took it a while ago.” I said and she looked at me. “Oh alright then let's go now.” Her voice was filled with excitement and so many smiles on her face. And that made me happy. We both walked to the car and drove out. We stopped at the grocery store to get some other fruits that weren't at home. And suddenly Zora bumped into her old friend.“Stacy! Oh my goodness, I never believed I'd see you again.” Zora said as they both hugged. I shook hands with the man who followed Zora’s fr
Chapter 56Zora’s point of view Heading back home after the meeting with Mr Noah, Derrick and I decided to go out for a little picnic. So we drive home to arrange for it. I changed up my clothes and moved to the kitchen, to prepare the dishes we will be carrying with us. “Okay! So what are we preparing.” Derrick said as he walked into the kitchen and I turned and I looked at him.I tried to convince him not to stress himself and I'll prepare the dish myself but he insisted on helping me out. “Alright then, you'll chop the vegetables and I'll do the rest.” I smiled and he nodded in agreement. He chopped the vegetables nicely but so slow, anyways I just had to follow up.In my greatest surprise I will ever believe Derrick and I would turn out this close again, I never knew he was such a very kind-hearted person and I love that side of him. I was done with the sandwich so I gave him a little to taste. “Mmm, Zora, this is so good.” He said immediately he took a bite of it. “You li
Chapter 57Zora’s point of view My heart stopped beating for a second. What is he talking about? Is he in love with me? “Ohh, okay,” I replied. “This game is becoming boring.” Stacy said and spun the bottle. The bottle stopped at Derrick and Stacy and she laughed out. “So what would you choose? Truth or Dare?” She asked him, with so many smiles on her face and I wasn’t comfortable with it. This lady hasn’t changed a bit. I am very sure Collin isn’t just a friend to her but maybe a sex mate. I bet she has changed. “Dare,” Derrick answered Stacy, looking at her. “Alright… I dare you to kiss any one of us sitting here.” She said and smirked. I'm probably sure Derrick wouldn't accept that…“Alright,” Derrick answered and stood up. He walked, coming towards Stacy’s direction. Is he for real? I know Stacy looks so beautiful and so hot with her curvy shape in whatever she wears, but I never Derrick would fall for that. I was surprised when he passed her and stopped in front of me
Chapter 58Derrick's point of view We were done with that childish game that I couldn't tell Stacy to stop, we played other games and later ate the dishes that were made by Zora and me. Zora and I were talking and Stacy interrupted suddenly, asking for my presence. I wondered what she wanted to say to me, I looked at Zora and she said I should go, maybe it’s something important. But the look on Stacy’s face, I am one hundred percent sure it isn’t something so important and we just met today after all.So I stood up and we both walked to a corner. “So Derrick Robert, you seriously want to pretend forever that you don’t know me?” Stacy asked me and left a smirk on her lips. And immediately I furrowed and looked up at her properly. How did she know my full name and what does she mean by pretends? “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I answered and she frowned. “We are the only ones here, Zora won’t hear you.” She uttered with a light voice. “Stacy, I don’t know you from an
Chapter 59Zora’s point of view Immediately he said that my heart melted, I felt more lively, although I was a bit shocked, I wasn’t expecting him to say that. It felt like he was referring to me when he said he was in love with someone. Do I still love this guy? Why do I feel this way? We got home and we sat on the couch in the living room. We talked for a while and then I decided to ask him. “So how did you get so close to Stacy?” He looked up at my face as I asked. “Stacy and I were so close at high school, I actually can’t remember what made us so close. To the point that Stacy sleeps over sometimes at my place. Our both parents were so close…. I assume that’s what made very much close and Stacy was kind of bullied in school so I was always there to help her out.” Derrick explained with a very bright smile on his lips. So that explains it all, he might as well like Stacy so much. And I don’t know why I am getting a little annoyed about it. “That’s good…. Although Stacy a
Chapter 60Zora’s point of view “Ah, hey Stacy, you're here so early.” I laughed a little as I walked closer to them. And to think of it, Stacy doesn't know the directions to this place.. So how come?“Yeah, she called me early this morning so I directed her on how to come over here.” Derrick explained immediately and I raised my brows slightly and nodded. Stacy still held Derrick’s hand, he looked at my face and took his hand gently away from her's. “So Derrick told me about the issue that brought you both here. You don't have to worry Zora, Mia would be found soon.” Stacy uttered. Wow! So he tells her everything so quickly. “Thank you, I hope we do find her quickly.” I smiled and sat on a couch a little far from them. I noticed how Derrick was so lively and happy speaking to her, he laughs at every little joke she portrays. And the way she is all over him, irritates me the most, Stacy is just so touchy. “I-i’ll be up in my room, Stacy take care.” I smiled and stood up. “Wh
Chapter 61Zora’s point of view “Derrick, are you in love with Stacy?” I asked him and he looked up to my face and smiled. “I've told you before that I love someone else, Stacy is more like a sister to me…. Yes, I love her and will always take care of her but not in the aspect of getting married to her.” He explained and immediately I drew a smile on my lips and nodded. Why do I feel happy and comfortable after hearing this? And shook that spirit off and continued my food. “Why did you ask?” He suddenly asked and looked at him. “Oh, I-I just wanted to know because you both are so close.” I found myself stuttering. He nodded. “Alright, and when the time comes you'll know who I am in love with.” He looked straight at me with a little smile curved on his lips. “Why can’t I know now,” I asked him. “I don’t want to lose the friendship I have with that person, just by confessing my feelings so I’ll hold on for now till when the time is right.” He explained and I bobbed my head. “T
