Naya changed into her nightgown and climbed into bed, acting seductively so that Brett would notice her. She was very horny that day and all she needed was for Brett to hold her close and grab her tighyBrett was so focused on his laptop to even pay attention to her. “Would you really choose work over me?” Naya frowned sulking like a child. “I am sorry,” Brett apologized, pecking her on the lips. “I just have to complete this job application and send it tonight. I hope they accept me for this job in Germany.” Naya smiled and leaned against his shoulders. “My love, they will,” she said in smiles. “Do you not trust your skills?” Brett laughed. “My skills are amazing. They are 100%. What I do not trust is the company. What if they do not give me this job? I worked so hard to get my CV and the connections who helped me with this.” Naya nodded, caressing his arm. “I love how hard you work. It makes you look hot,” she smiled, as she gazed into his laptop. “Of course, that’s why you

Naya sat down at the dining area with Mrs Gabby as they waited for children to speak to each other. The house was silent that day and a lot of things were going on outside that they couldn’t witness. Mrs Gabby got Naya a mug of coffee and offered it to her. She brought her a kettle of milk to add if need be.Naya thanked her and took a sip of it. The taste was so good. “Is this Irish?” She asked intuitively.“It is,” Mrs Gabby answered sharply. “How did you know that?”“My father use to make Irish coffee back in the days. The taste always get me and my mother flabbergasted. We are like ‘What’s this divine drink that fell from heaven.’ My love for it then was something I couldn’t compare with any other. Me and my tea? O! Boy!” “Children will always have the purest form of love,” Mrs Gabby said with a smile. Naya nodded.“That’s true. When it came to friendships, I never had Hailey’s kind of friendship growing up,” Naya admitted. “My friendships have always been short lived. It

Naya felt proud seeing her 22 year old daughter with the love of her life. She tried all she could to keep calm knowing she had always waited for such a moment to come. She wasn’t even sure of how to explain how she felt at that moment. She ensured that everyone had their ration of meals before starting the discussion. “What do you do?” She asked Ferdinand who smiled. “I help my parents with their oil company,” he told her with an enthusiastic tone. “That’s huge!” Brett exclaimed. “There is definitely money in there. I heard of how much the price of oil has risen lately. That should be huge for your pocket.” “Hopefully,” Ferdinand gazed at Hailey with an admirable look. “I am willing to do anything to give Hailey the life she deserves. She is a one in a million damsel.”Naya observed Hailey’s blush and arched her brows. She gestures to Brett with her eyes signaling him to say such nice words to her too. “Someone is very good at complimenting women,” she said to Brett with passi

Ferdinand said nothing all through their drive home. Hailey understood she had crossed the line and wasn’t sure of how to explain her overwhelming emotions either. When he stopped before her home, she tried opening the door but he shut the doors preventing her from leaving. “What was that?” He eventually asked angrily. “You embarrassed me before my friends. What were you trying to prove with all that? What was going on in your mind?” Hailey took a deep breath and decided to explain herself. “I am sorry,” she apologized. “I didn’t mean to hug him like that. He is my childhood friend and I haven’t seen him in years. The last time I saw him, they told me that he was going to die. I had lost all hopes of seeing him again. Just see it as the dead coming to life”. Ferdinand didn’t care. “I am not bothered by who does and comes back!” He scolded her. “I do not care who was breathing and not breathing. All I ask you is why you would hug him like that?! You embarrassed the hell out of me.

The fight wasn’t something Hailey expected that hot afternoon. It was an embarrassing sight to the point she had wished that the floor could swallow her. What the heck was she seeing? Two men fighting over her?! What the hell was that?! That was her biggest nightmare and she hated it so much. She forced herself to stand ignoring the pain on her toe and cried in pain as the place hurt a lot. Ferdinand was more focused on his violence that he hadn’t heard her soft voice whimper in pain. Though each step she took sent a sharp pain in her joint, she just didn’t care anymore. She gathered all the strength she could and hurried to them. “Stop it!” She screamed at them, but Ferdinand wouldn’t stop hitting Ryan. Ryan did not fight back. He tried every attempt to explain to Ferdinand what happened, not Ferdinand wasn’t listening. Ferdinand was more of a fist than talk. “Ferdinand stop it!” Hailey couldn’t take it anymore. She drew Ferdinand away from Ryan and slapped him hard on the cheek. “
