I almost laughed out loud at their exchange. God, how I missed her."We have two weeks and some days to graduation, almost three." Chloe said smiling sadly at her."Why are you looking at me like that?" "I have no plans after graduation. All I know is I want to be independent somehow.""We'll see about that when that time comes."I decided to call her phone just to see her reaction. So I hesitated over tapping the call button against her name but I eventually called.Her phone started vibrating in her backpack, she raised one finger at her friend to retrieve it.The colour on her face dried up as she looked at the screen. She watched it ring in utter shock her mouth hanging open.Her friend snatched the phone from her hand and scanned the screen too with her eyes, her mouth dropped open too."Pick it up." She pushed the phone back into her hands. Chloe shaked her head instantly. Her face looked as if she had seen a ghost and it hurt me to see her watching her phone ring until it died

I turned my attention to the baby waving my hands over his face."Ku!" Leddy squealed at me. The little boy was so jovial whenever he saw me and it made me melt.I wish I was a kid.I had visited them almost thrice since I left Caesar's home. The little boy knew just the best way to bring me out of my misery with his contagious squeals and giggles."Come here little buddy!" I warmed at him opening my arms. Tracy placed him in my arms shaking her head."I always get jealous at how Leddy is always overenthusiastic with you." Tracy complained. I just stuck out my tongue at her then turned to grin at Leddy.Now everyone's attention was towards Leddy and I. "Did mummy bit you again? I told you to bite that titty. Did you do that?"Everyone started laughing at our silly interaction. "Pa pa pa!" He squealed pointing at his father who was sure walking towards our direction."Tracy thanks for coming. You didn't have to, this is a small---""Stupid. Why would I miss your big day. You are always

Caesar's povI watched her as she double checked the place. It was only five blocks away from Tracy's shop."Are you sure this is the place you wanted to bring me Mister Banley?" She quirked up a brow as she scanned the building closer."The last time I checked, my brain was working well, so yeah I'm sure." I replied inserting a key into the main door of that building."Woaaahhh, this looks like an exquisite place that can hold a big charity ball." She gushed trailing a finger on the wall. "And I like the paint used here!" She chirped like a kid that has been brought to a candy shop.She was so adorable in a thousand and more ways.But seriously? Of all the things she could think of, the place deemed necessary for a charity ball?I was tired from the day's events but her energy was therapeutic and I could watch her all day gush about everything and nothing in particular. I followed her as she walked into what seemed to be the kitchen."Oh my goodness! I like the kitchen space! It can

Minutes later, I heard the rustling of metal and the gate opened revealing his Silver sports car. He just drove in slightly and parked the car carelessly, got out quickly and closed the gate. He then ran towards the entrance route.I could see his silhouette illuminated from the headlights of his car that were still on. I was still sitting at the base of the stairs and when he got closer, he stopped abruptly.He scanned the place before his eyes fell on mine. He didn't say a word. He moved closer to me and without warning, he scooped me up bridal style and walked us up into the building.I just snuggled closer into his familiar welcoming scent as tears kept pooling out of my eyes. I whimpered when he kicked the door to a room, and I don't know where he clicked but lights flooded the room.I opened my eyes slowly adjusting, that's when I noticed it was his childhood room."You're going to tell me what happened, take your time though. No rush." He said slowly setting me down into his sm

Caesar's povI knew it wouldn't be easy for Chloe to accept my offer but I didn't know it would take almost zero effort to convince her. The moment she was fit with it even under certain conditions, I felt like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders.We're talking about this one girl who can't even hurt a fly but can hurt an egotistic human being with just one word. That's my Marvelous and that's what she does to me.A few days had passed since I got back from another one of our business trips in LA which took a week and three days. And in those few days in Bronx I'd barely caught sleep. We had business deals to close with some of our major stakeholders and it was one hell of a task. I could sleep at dawn, that means somewhere around four in the morning and by six in the morning my alarm was rejoicing. How could things get possibly better? I barely saw my sister leave alone Chloe. Sometimes I could sleep in the office over my paperwork since my body was getting used to the co
