Wilbur's POV
I parked my car in my garage and headed to the house. I opened the door and walked in, my television was on and a glass of red wine was on the table. Someone's here
I looked up the stairs, is the person upstairs
“Val!.. Val!” I called out. I'm sure she's not asleep yet cause she goes to bed by 10pm and it's still past 9pm.
I walked to the table and lifted the wine glass. I sniffed the handle and it smelt feminine. A girl is here.
But only Wini has the right to come in here and drink my wine and she's not in the country.
I began to hear footsteps on the stairs and it was Wini. Of course it's her, she's the only one who knows my keywords.
“hey twinheart, miss me?” she asked as she majestically walked down the stairs with Val behind her
“when did you come back and when did you start lodging here?”
MariGold's POVLast night was the best night I had in years. I went to bed with a heavy tummy and I slept so smooth and creamy.Waking up this morning, I feel like a star. Who says eating good food doesn't bring happiness?I sneaked out of my room and went to greet my auntie in her room. I quickly swept and mopped the living room floor then took a bathe.It's quite early and I really wish to skip work today, I need to know how Eliza is faring.Today is Thursday, my shift starts by 9am. OH thank God. I can go and see Eliza.I packaged the food from yesterday into the same white bag. I dropped it on my window and went the other way round to take it. I would go and see her and finally tell her about Wilbur Sanders and I.Wait... There's no Wilbur Sanders and I. That statement isn't appropriate.I headed to her house and I was glad I d
MariGold's POV“are you sure you're okay to go? Work is stressful Eliza” I warned as she was wearing her shoes“I'm doing this for Wilbur” she replied and stood upright“what makes you think he'll come today?” I asked and walked out of the house, she followed me out“he'll come” she said adamantly“Eliza, please stay. I don't want you to stress yourself today. You know what? If I see him, I'll tell him about you and I'll beg him to fix a day to see you” I said and hoped she'll accept that and stay inside. For crying out loud her temperature can boil an egg“promise me”“I promise. That's if I see him” i said with convictionShe nodded“ I'm actually feeling cold. I gotta take my medicine. Bye&rd
MariGold's POVI felt bad. So bad when he literally sent me out of his car. I felt so embarrassed I wanted to disappear from the face of the earth.I didn't want to think I was really taking him for granted. But my inner self was telling me it's true. I was truly taking him for granted. Eliza told me this.He said I should get out.That hurts so bad! If I'm not mistaken I'm going to cry.Eliza is going to be so mad at me***I finished washing my clothes and I went to wash my hair. While I was washing my hair, I remembered how Eliza poured hot soup on my head about six months ago. I had told her about how Wilbur got really mad at me and sent me out of his car.She was so angry. First for sending Wilbur away from my life, secondly for not listening to her advice and thirdly for making her miss the opportunity to see him.She
MariGold's POVHe parked in front of a small restaurant and opened the door. We stepped out and a man in suit walked up to us“welcome sire” he said and bowed. He had a French accent and he had this moustache that French men usually keep“come here” Wilbur motioned to me and I moved to his side. He held my hand and I got an electric shock for about five seconds.The restaurant was fenced round and had beautiful flower bushes around it both inward and outward the fence.Wilbur took me through the back and we went through a door that led to a staircase. There was another door behind the stairs but he took me up the stairs instead“where are you taking me?” I asked with a little feeling of insecurity“I told you before. Somewhere you could have lunch” he replied“aren
“we're just on one plate of food Gold. When are we gonna finish up?” I asked and she looked up“I'm already filled actually” she said“well I'm not” I stated“and you're going to eat till the end” I added and began to eat. She shrugged and began to eat“the second plate is scallops cooked with white wine and mushrooms” I said“what's with you and wine food?” she asked and I chuckled“I'm obsessed” I said with a grin“same way I'm obsessed with seafood” she stated and finally drank the wine“you are? Just like Wini. That girl loves fish and all those stuff. She can trade me for a can of sardines” I said and that made her laugh so hard. I even began to laugh myselfAfter we finished lunch, I decided to drive her home. I was glad she didn't object a
MariGold“ahhhhhhhhhhhhh”That was Eliza's scream or squeak or squeal.Just know that if I have any complications with my ears, Eliza's responsible.“OH my God I can't believe this! Gosh!” she finally said after she finished screaming. She grabbed my arm and gawked at my palm where Wilbur wrote the number“oh my God! He really wrote this?” she asked rhetoricallyI rolled my eyes and snatched back my arm.“Mari do you know what this means? Wilbur Sanders gave you his number. His private number. OMG!”I sat beside her on the bed“so what does this mean?” I asked her“it means you're the luckiest babe alive girl. He even took you on a date. He took you to a French restaurant. Do you know what French food means to Will? Gosh” she said an
“did I startle you?” I asked out of courtesy. Of course, I had startled her.She didn't answer though“I'm sorry” I mumbled and drew her close with my hand that held hers. I used my index finger to push back the strands of hair that had covered her right eye.She looked up at my face and our eyes locked. It was obvious she wasn't comfortable and neither was I. But hers was more visible.I smiled and opened her palm then kept an envelope in it. She looked at her hand“make sure you get yourself some salmons” I said and released her.“I'll be going now” I said and shifted back. I brought out my car keys and walked to the door“make sure you lock the door when I leave” I said to her frozen self. She looked at me and before she could say a word, I opened the door and walked out, closing it and wearing my sungla
MariGoldEliza hit me on my bare thigh and it hurt so badI screamed and hit her arm. She pushed me and I pushed her back“you're the stupidest person ever!” she yelled at me“stupidest is an old fashioned word” I said and rolled my eyes“and so are you. You're so old fashioned”She stood up and began to pace about dramatically as she spoke“I force you to call Will and force you to try to start a conversation. But why can't I force you to have sense” she stood akimbo and faced me“I really don't know what I did wrong this time. I called him and spoke with him, didn't I?” I asked, trying to back myself up“yes you did. But why did you say you were going to be busy? What if he wanted to take you out? Or come and see you?”“well, that's what I was trying to
