Opening the door, she found Donald sleeping soundly on the bed. She sat on the bed leaning towards his face and flicked his ears giggling. Donald opened his eyes and screamed moving away from her. "What the hell! You scared me. You look like a zombie" he said catching his breathe. Helma laughed touching the mask on her face. "See who us scared of a real life zombie now" she teased. Helma smiled sweetly at Donald and he found it suspicious. "what is going on?" Supporting his hands with a pillow. "thank you so much Donald, I don't know what to say. Thank you helping me clear my debts. It has been a huge burden since I left college" she appreciated sincerely. Donald chuckled resting his head on the bed frame."was that enough reason to wear a zombie mask and scare me out of my sleep?" He asked raising his eyebrows.Helma hissed and tossed him the pillow beside her. "I didn't mean to. I am very grateful and thankful to you. And this is a beauty mask. It is not a zombie mask" she
Dizziness vanished from Helma's eyes immediately she saw Donald standing behind her staring. She jumped on him wrapping her arms around him like he had returned home after an Iran war. "God! I was so worried about you Donald. How are you? How was the meeting? The investors? How did it go?" She asked multiple questions without giving Donald time to answer one. Uncle Billy and Andrea stood at the dinning and stared at the duo. Donald kisses her forehead and hugged her again. "My princess, it was positive. We have three new investors in Franco groups" he announced smiling broadly. Helma yelled in excitement jumping on him again. "You did it. I am so proud of you" she stated smiling. Andrea coughed to get Donald and Helma's attention. Helma immediately disengaged from Donald when she noticed they were being stared at by the couple. Donald smiled at Andrea and greeted her warmly. Helma stood ashamed of her actions and played with her hair nervously. "that was one passionate moment b
The next morning was a sunday, Helma packed her bags ready. Donald has sent her a text that they were returning back today. She freshened up and wore a free button shirt and a matching free pants. She packed her hair ponytail and wore a pink and nude lipstick. Helma gave her bed one last hug before moving out. She was definitely going to miss it. She met Donald in the sitting room all packed in front of a breakfast tray. "You like a beautiful dude princess" Donald complimented bitting into his pancakes. Helma scruffed and had her seat beside him. They enjoyed their breakfast together and fought for the last piece of pancakes. The drive to the airport was lively. The driver occasionally stared at them through the rear mirror. He wondered what changed the duo. They came into the city almost strangers and they are leaving like newlyweds. They got to the airport and boarded their flight. Unlike the first air experience, Helma was more relaxed. She held on to Donald at take off. The
"What do you want?" Donald asked Clara coldly after letting her in. Clara knew Donald was upset with her and had come to buy her way out and stylishly push the blame to Helma. "Brother, I am sorry I had to act that way? I was just......" She tried to defend herself but Donald yelled at her."You what? You have grown up to be a mean and evil woman. What happened to the sweet fragile Clara I knew? You now pick up on people and bully them? To make you feel great? To make you happy? Their weakness is your strength? You disgust me Clara" Donald stared at her after yelling. His words were as sharp as the butcher's knife. It wonded Clara's ego and silenced her pride.Clara sat down on the couch gently. She knew Helma had opened up to Donald and she needed to do something fast to defend her. "Yell at me all you want Donald but know this, Helma is manipulative. I know her more than you do I am doing all this for her to reveal herself and leave our lives. I am not mean Donald I am not. She migh
he room was as silent as a graveyard. Clara sat down cold and quiet. Jay paced angry. "I went out with my friends and your constant calls embarrassed me in front of my friends. I had to....." Clara explained calmly but Jay yelled to interrupt her. "You had to give them the go ahead to say trash to me right? Did you tell me you were going out with your friends? You were to have dinner with me at 8pm. for hell sake, I made dinner for us" Jay spat out pissed.Clara tried to talk to Jay, but he wasn't granting her any opportunity to. "Jay, I did nothing wrong. I decided to come over, I can choose to do anything I want. Don't act pissed or try to order me around, you are not my mom" she corrected stating her stand. Jay chuckled and walked out on her. He went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to cool down. Clara followed him yelling and defending herself.She was totally ignored by Jay, immediately Jay dropped the glass of water, she took the glass and poured it on him. Jay looked at h
Mondays are always pilled with lots of paper work, weekly review, meeting, new budget and targets as usual. Helma inhaled heavily after reaching the last floor for the Fourth time today. She paid the truck drivers who had delivered new devices the day before. Helma walked to the reception to meet Clara and Jay hugging passionately. Clara was calm, and without her makeup for the first time."Hi" Jay's voice stopped Helma who was walking towards the elevator. Helma turned and waved at the couple with a weak smile avoiding Clara's gaze. Helma got to her office to meet numerous messages from Donald. Her heart skipped at his texts. She read the text "come to my office now!" She wondered what she had done wrong that he had to send same text six times. She hurriedly fixed the last file that is meant for Donald's approval and took it along to his office.Helma knocked at Donald's office twice then the door opened and she was dragged inside by Donald in a twinkle of an eye. Helma found Donald'
Days went by faster than usual. Donald had new investors who invested millions in his new company. He has been more present in Franco groups than usual. Donald woke up at 6am Friday morning. He yawned tiredly tempted to go back to bed. He wore his flip flops and began his morning Routine as usual. His phone rang and it was uncle Billy. "Good morning boy. I know you are awake" uncle Billy's voice was sharp like he has been awake all night. "I sent few documents to your mail, you should review them and get back to me before Monday morning" he instructed."ok uncle . How is Andrea? " He asked over the phone. "don't ask after me, it is weekend! Give that girl the some time to go see her parents" Andrea's voice yelled over the phone. Donald chuckled and hanged up. He freshened up and got ready for work. He met Helma at the staircase wearing the same color as him. Navy blue.She wore a Navy blue pencil gown and red heels. Donald wore a navy blue suit, white sleeve and a brown shoe. "You loo
"What?" Helma exclaimed hanging in the balance between shock and excitement. She hasn't met her parents for a year now. Donald smiled faintly cleaning his hands with a paper towel. "Are you serious Donald?" She asked trying to clear her doubt. Donald nodded taking the pizza box and used paper towel to the tras can. Helma beamed happily.The ride back home was amazing. Helma sang along happily to the song on the radio. Donald occasionally turned to Helma and noticed her over excited mood. "It's been ages you saw your parents?" He asked casually. Helma's mood dropped at his question. "I haven't seen them for a year. You know, I was saving up for a house with my ex" she paused and inhaled. "And I had no constant income. I worked as a waitress and a babysitter, I could barely fix out time to go see them" she explained weakly.Donald inhaled and wondered why a man would want to tax his woman before they could get a house. " Your boyfriend was fully employed?" He asked with his voice fille
