It was already twenty minutes to eight o’clock and Nelson had not come to get Amelia who had finished dressing up since twenty minutes past seven, there after going into the sitting room to sit and wait. At exactly 7;49, the door bell rang and Amelia rushed to open the door thinking it was her boss.“Finally, you’re he……, what are you doing here Christian?” Amie asked in shock.“Hi beautiful. Long time no see baby. I’ve come to get you, I’m sure you got the memo from your younger brothers” Christian said.“ You need to leave now” Amie said pushing christian on his chest. Walking towards her and smirking, he said“Come on baby, is that a way to welcome your boyfriend? I see you’re dressed, it’s like you knew I was coming. I like that” Christian said, taking her into his arms and forcfully locking his lips with hers.“Get……away….from……me…..Christian” Amie managed to say, trying so hard to push him away but all efforts were proving abortive until everything came to a stand still when som
While they ate, they both only passed smiles to each other, looking so happy to be in the company of each other on a very cool night. After they were done eating, Nelson stood up and asked Amelia to dance with him.“Can I have this dance my lady?”“Yes you can, but be warned I’m not much of a dancer” she replied, placing her hand in his and followed him to the middle of room.“Well, I’m not much of a dancer too but I’d still love to dance with you” He replied and took his left hands to hold her by her waist while his right hand was holding her back and her hands were placed around his neck.“I have something to tell you Amelia” Nelson said while they danced to soft music.“I’m listening” She replied.“I know things between us hasn’t been good. And for the past five months you were expecting something serious fro me, but I want you to know that it’s not like I don’t know what I feel for you, it’s just that I did not trust myself enough to be responsible enough to keep you by my side or
Nelson could not sleep all through the night. He wished the dinner date didn’t turn out to be a disaster. Initially, he had planned not only to confess his feelings but to also ask Amelia to be his woman officially, but looks like fate was determined to make his love life a little fuzzy before giving him a clear path to trend upon. Amidst all of these thoughts, he turned to face the bed side clock on his bed side table to check the time and saw that it was already six am in the morning, so he got out of his bed and walked into his bathroom to take his bath and prepare for work. As at six-forty, he was ready and set to go to work, so he climbed down the stairs and dragged himself to the door before he heard his mum call out to him.“Hey son, why are you going to work this early? Won’t you wait to have breakfast?”“Oh hey mum, didn’t see you there. I’m in no mood to have breakfast this morning so I’d rather just go to work” He replied.“Why? What’s going on?” She asked, noticing the ey
"Here's your order, ma'am. Cappuccino with extra milk," Amelia Roberts said to a middle-aged woman standing in line ahead of her."Thank you for your patience. Here's your change," she added."Thank you so much, dear," the woman replied. "You can keep the change as a tip for a job well done.""Thank you so much, ma'am. Please come back again," Amelia said to the woman, flashing her a beautiful smile before she walked out the door onto the street.Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm went off, indicating that it was time for Amelia to end her shift and go home."Hey, Amie," Dianna said as she walked towards Amelia, carrying her small backpack. Dianna and Amelia were best friends who met at the coffee shop three years ago. They worked side by side every day, and because of this, they grew closer to each other. They would always walk home together every evening.Just like every other evening, this one was no exception. Dianna came to look for Amelia so they could walk home together. "Amie," as sh
Closing the door and dropping her keys on the counter, Amelia lazily dragged herself up the stairs to her room."Hey, Mom," Amelia said to her mother, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner for the family."Hello, dear, welcome back," her mother replied."Just go freshen up and come down for dinner; I'm sure you must be tired from the day's shift," her mother added."Yes, Mom, I'm really tired. I'll be down when dinner is ready," Amie replied, already halfway up the stairs.Entering her room and closing the door behind her, she flung her bag onto the bed and headed straight for the bathroom to take a very hot bath. Amelia had always been the kind of girl who loved silence and music; she also loved reading novels, and her escape was always her bathroom. She loved to sing too, and this is why she took so long in the bathroom; it made her feel safe and noticed. Putting on her bathrobe and her bathroom slippers, she headed for the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door."Come in, Br
“With that been said, I’ll love to retire to my bed now. I need to sleep, I have a very long day tomorrow” Amelia said clearing off the plates from the table into the kitchen.“Wait up sis, I have something that I wanna discuss with you” Brie said to Amie. “ Oh alright then, I could spare a few minutes of my beauty sleep time” Amie replied. “Meet me in my room when you’re done washing the plates” She added. “Alright sis, thank you” Brie replied as she walked into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Few minutes later, Bridget was already done doing the dishes when one of her younger brothers stopped her to speak with her. “Hey big sis, can you spare me few minutes of your time?” Micah asked. “Yeah sure. What’s up?” She replied. “Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed but ever since you’ve been coming to pick us from school, there has always been a different note placed underneath my locker every single day” Micah said“ I don’t understand. What do you mean?” Brie asked. “ What I’m t
As at 5am in the morning, Amie’s alarm rang and she got up to do her house chores and cook for the family.As soon as she woke up, she dashed to the kitchen to pick up the sweeping brush and began sweeping the whole house. After forty-five whole minutes she was done sweeping, she went into the kitchen to start cooking. It was a Saturday morning and she had already thought of the food to prepare before she went to bed the previous night so it wasn’t hard for her to know what to cook. She had decided to task herself and prepare everyone’s best meal at least to make everybody happy, so she picked up two big pots and started the preparation for the cooking. As challenging as this idea was, she tried as much as possible to be quite enough so as not to wake anybody up. It took her two hours to finish cooking and set the table before going to have her bath. “All done” Amie said to herself feeling very fulfilled that she was able to pull her idea of preparing everyone’s favorite dish for brea
“Drive straight to the office. I have a meeting in twenty minutes” Nelson said to Henry, his driver.“Yes sir” Henry replied, starting the engine and zooming out of the compound, driving straight to the office.Nelson is the most eligible bachelor in the whole of Toronto, and of course the CEO of Rodriguez Autos. He is always so busy with work, you would rarely see him go for events, if it’s not a business dinner or a production he’d rather pass. Asides from the tough aura he always has to put on, he is a very emotional and caring person. Growing up, he has always been very affectionate. His dad used to domestically abuse his mom for years until he passed away on Nelson’s twenty-second birthday. Anytime his dad beats his mum, Nelson would always be the one to pet his little brother Andrew and most times have to clean his mother's wounds. This always broke his heart but he couldn’t confront his dad until this very day when Nelson had walked off his guests after the party was over. Upon
