“Ma'am dinner is served”. Carolina tells me later in the evening.“Thank you”. I responded to her.I wanted to ask about Gregory but I stopped myself from doing so. It's better to stay off him for now. The house is silent, I know it is usually silent but it feels different, it's colder, even though it's almost winter, there's this coldness my body cannot shake off.His dark gaze watches me as my legs transcends down the stairs. There is no telling if he's angry or not from the point he is at. I avert my eyes from him and walk to the dining area. The plate has been set, Carolina chose to set my plate close to him, precisely on the left side of the head of the table. It is too late for me to tell her to change my position. Gregory comes over to the dinning. My eyes are pinned on the plate before. I cannot bear to look at him, to look at those eyes that have lost their warmth. His eyes have gone back to how they were when we got married. How do I explain to him that things have chang

“Like always this is where we part ways' '. Rosie chimes giving me a hug.The driver is at the front of the shop. Oliver has successfully loaded everything we purchased in the car. He holds the door open for me to enter but I hesitate because I want to see Rosie in a taxi first before I leave. “Bye mama bear”, she yells from inside the yellow taxi. “Text me when you get home”. I yell in return as the taxi zooms off.There is no point waiting anymore, so I climb into the back seat of the, greet the driver and focus my attention on my phone. I've been checking out various baby shoots I carried out in the past.“Oliver please I'll be needing your help to set up the baby's crib”.“Okay ma'am, but ma'am don't you think the boss will be in a better position to do that. I mean… “he stops whatever he was going to say and pairs down at me.“You mean…..” I try to emphasise so he'll finish his statement.“Nothing ma'am”. He turns his attention away from me and looks ahead.“You can say what yo

The rest of the dinner goes well, Mark tells of his trip, and cracks jokes here and there. Turns out Mark is an easy going person, he has the ability to even ruffle Gregory's feathers without him reacting. He still finds a way to bring me into the conversation too.“It was great catching up with you man, I'm glad to be back in town, it's been a really long while”. “Yeah”. They give themselves a hug and a light pat at the back. It's amazing seeing Gregory with someone he is at ease with, someone he jokes with and not in work mode with. I hope it will be the same at his Dad's place, since the party is meant for family and close friends.Gregory and I walk them to the door. Once they leave I make my way to my room. There's no point staying in the living room. Besides, I am exhausted.*******When Paul Williams told me it was a small party with few family and friends I wasn't expecting this many people. There are more than twenty five people here. The house is huge and bigger than where

My chest is heaving, I will not cry for this, the solution is to not let him keep me away from my child. If he doesn't want this I won't force it, he lost his memory, fine!, But he won't keep me from my child. I am starting to doubt that he ever truly lost it, maybe all those times he was being nice he was pretending to, and now he is back to his original self. He will not keep my baby from me. The tears threaten to fall but I look up blinking my eyes severally trying to draw them back in. Once I notice my body has relaxed I move to relieve my bladder. I wash my hands and reapply my lip gloss before heading for the door. A piece of paper falls of the door as soon as I open it, curious to as to why someone would stick a piece of paper in-between the door I reach for it. Bending down when one is heavy with pregnancy is a huge task especially for someone who is almost due like me. This evening Carolina was the one who helped me put on my sandals, she has been helping for sometime now.

My eyes widen as he tells the story, my ears are itching to hear more, I need to know more.“How did you guys, you know, end up dating if her brother didn't like you”. I gesture my hands. “She called me two days later and invited me over, Crazy isn't it?. I nod my head to his question, intrigued by Gianna’s boldness.“Is she really that bold?” I ask him, he shakes his head signifying that he isn't.“Not really, she's shy but still very vocal, I don't know how to explain it, she's firm when she needs to be but also shy. I hope you understand what I mean?”. He questions and I nod my head vigorously.“Her brother went ballistic when he saw me in their home”. He laughs heartily.“They had a beautiful home, a huge mansion seated on a large expanse of land with greenery. A beautiful garden which she liked to tend to. They hand heavily tattooed men guarding their home. Anyway, when the help ushered me into their home she was coming out with her brother, that was when her brother went ballis
