DIANAShe is pretty. There was no doubt in my mind and any sane person’s mind that she is pretty.Adrian seemed surprised to see her and I realized that the reason for that was that she didn’t reside in the state.He had gotten up from his seat to hug her and I watched like a zombie, confused at the same time.She asked if she could sit with us for dinner and Adrian looked at me as if asking for permission I agreed without stuttering and ever since, they have both been talking and catching up while I felt like a part of the background.“If I knew that I’d see you here, trust me, I’d have Jamie come with me,“ she said.Jamie? Who is Jamie? A female or a male? I thought to myself.“So what happened?“ He asked and I wondered what they were talking about now because I had hot lost in my thoughts.“Well,“ she sighed.“He is just a jerk. We...“ She trailed off staring at me before she smiled.“That’s our business. You don’t have to worry,“ she told him and he nodded his head.W

DIANAI felt like a very bad person. I have been unable to sleep because all I was doing was sobbing silently.Armani and Ammika were both mad at me and It was because they believe I have lied to them about having a father.She cried to sleep and Armani refused to speak to me. I feel so bad about it. I want to tell Albert about it but how and when do I tell him.I mean I could tell him now but it just doesn’t make sense in my head. The next day came sooner than I expected. I barely closed my eyes.All I wanted to do was sleep but I had to go to work. I woke Ammika up so I could get her o pared for school.She didn’t utter a word to me or hug me as she would have and it hurt me. I felt my chest tighten.I wanted to ask how her night was but I couldn’t and the same thing happened with Armani. They were both grumpy and they also refused to eat their breakfast.I decided that I’d personally drop them off at school, wanting to spend some moments with them and it was the same. It

DIANAFate has its way of handling things. I was this close to telling Albert about his kids when an emergency had to take him away and I found myself making my way home, sad and disheartened.I was trying too hard not to think about it but I just cannot help it no matter how hard I try. I squat outside of my door for some minutes because I wasn’t ready to face my kids yet knowing they were angry at me. I was thinking of what to say to do and what to do to get them talking to me again. I mean this is the first time they are not speaking to me or smiling at me so I didn’t know what to do. After some minutes of gathering some courage, I entered my apartment and to my surprise, I saw my kids with a big smile on their faces while eating popcorn.That wasn’t all, what shocked me the most was the man that sat in-between them.All eyes were now on me. I was still in shock. What was he doing here?“Mummy!“ Ammika squealed excitingly before running into my arms. I caught her as

DIANA“Diana, can we talk?“ It was Marcus who spoke. I have been avoiding him as best as I can which means I have been speaking to him only on a work basis and nothing more. I guess he must have noticed as he doesn’t call me for any other reason that does have to do with work.“Okay,“ I replied, refusing to look at his face.“Can you please come to my office,“ he said and I nodded my head while I mentally prayed that he wasn’t going to speak about his feelings because I wasn’t going to accept them or acknowledge them.I followed him into his office.“It’s about the other day. I know I messed up and I’m very sorry,“ he said.I was a little taken aback as he didn’t hesitate to talk about Albert who he doesn’t know and badmouth me when he doesn’t know anything.“Okay. That’s fine,“ I replied, trying to dismiss the topic but who was I kidding. There was no way he’d dismiss the topic.“I know I said some things that I shouldn’t have and I acted very bad towards you and kept talkin

ALBERT“I’m going crazy. What exactly did I do to deserve this in this life? All I did was stay away and now she doesn’t want to talk to me for the rest of her life? Tell me what to do because I’m lost,“ I complained to Jamie.“Why did you decide to stay away besides know if that is why she blocked your line. Why don’t you speak to her and find out instead,“ Jamie suggested.“I wish it was that easy but no. It’s so crazy. What exactly do I do to please her? What does she want from me? What do I say to her? I’m trying my best to understand it but no matter what I just can’t. It’s driving me insane. I thought when I stay away she’d realize that she likes me but instead that made it get worse. Women!“ I complained.“What if that’s the start and something made it deep? You will have to find that out you know,“ he said and I rolled my eyes.“You are starting to roll your eyes too much, are you sure you don’t want them falling off soon because I assure you that if you keep doing that,
