She sighed as Jessie past her; ever since the bachelorette party; Amber hadn't felt the need to talk to her sister because of so much questions she feared Jessie had answers to and Jessie had ignored her anyway, because even she didn't have anything to say to her.
She sighed; she wasn't used to remaining furious with someone she lived with, she walked to Jessie's room, just before she could put off the light.
Jessie saw her at the door. 'Did you need something, Amber?'
She started to say no but she knew she couldn't stay angry with Jessie for no reason especially for a man she was trying so hard to forget he exists.
'Have you seen Nicholas?'
She sighed tiredly like she didn't have time for such interrogations but she answered anyway. The look in Amber's eye, told her, she couldn't hide everything forever..... eventually she would come to know everything.
'Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you earlier. I met him before you did at the airport.' She had lied. She liked Nicholas but she couldn't tell her sister that, Amber had decided to get the divorce papers and make him sign it because she didn't love him anymore and besides it's her chance to rekindle past relationship with Nicholas.
Amber just nod; if she was angry; she didn't show it.
One last question, before she turned to leave. 'Do you still like Nicholas?'
'I never stopped.' Jessie said simply.
Amber nod her head again and walked out; Jessie wanted to call her back but she didn't instead she put off the light; they were getting a divorce, why did Amber care so much?
Amber sighed as she laid down close to Skype. She didn't cry.
That was why she never saw Jessie bring any guy home because she had always been in love with Nicholas, Jessie felt there was still a part in Nicholas that loved her back and that was why she kissed him; hoping to get a response and Nicholas gave her as much response as he could muster; he never did love her, just a ploy to get closer to the funny and beautiful twin that was why he married her in he first place. Who knows how much has happened between them, has Nicholas slept with her too?
She sighed; that was when tears fell, silently for falling in love like a stupid idiot with the one person she shouldn't.
A week later, she was looking cheerful, she decided to fetch gorceries and she was happy she didn't see Nicholas much to her surprise, it confirmed that he had always been interested in Jessie and still is.She smiled warmly at the security guard before entering; he smiled back flustered and even the manager smiled at her.'You never stop looking stunning, Ms.''Only you say that, Walls.'He smiled; he was happy to serve her anytime; she had been the one who got him this store and funny thing she didn't have pay for anything she buys from here but after a lot of argument, he'd let her off with a huge discount.'Can I be your assistant?' He asked.'I am fine, Walls.' She picked a stroller. 'I will call you if I need anything.' She said heading towards the toiletries.She was making the trip because her schedule next week was crazy; she had meetings to attend. Jessie never have time, she work Monday to Friday and the weekends she wasn't always
She walked to the kitchen; once she had dropped the things she brought on the counter, she went back to on her answering machine and played for any messages in her absence.'Hello, this is Amber Page, I am busy right now, leave a message.' She heard before she turned her attention to the gorceries on the counter, she began to unpack.'Hey, babe. Just called to say Hi.......I missed you; can we have lunch tomorrow.....call me.' She heard; Jake sounded like he needed something.'Hey, Babe, this is your best friend; the client said the shipping won't be this week, he said next month..... I was upset when I heard; that man likes procrastinating...... I hope you are having a relaxing weekend..... enjoy, see you on Monday.' Cassie's voice ended; he sure likes procrastinating.... about a relaxing weekend.....so far it has been heated. When......She stopped her thinking as she hears her sister's voice.'I don't know where you went, what is keeping you so l
He smiled at the priest as he called he and the god mother to stand by the child and her mother and he was happy, when he held Amber's hand; he missed touching her, feeling her skin and he could see from where he stood the dark color she had placed on her lashes, and her brows were curved perfectly; he could smell her vanilla perfume;The divorce was all she cared about; he thought as they moved apart.She wanted to divorce him; was she pregnant with Jake's child or was he proposing to marry her?He had asked for them to talk; but he didn't want to just talk. ..he had spoken to Maxwell and he has helped him figured out how to reach her but now, he just didn't know.He had said they should talk about the divorce he didn't want. ....Yes, he had an idea.If she wanted to divorce, she just have to show him that she didn't need him and he knew exactly what to do.He smiled at the ladies that looked his way. He still had effect on the ladies
Smiling he entered the kitchen. He was feeling joyous; the day was going to end well, he had good vibes about it.'Where is that young man that was with you?' He heard Mrs Pade asked.Nicholas knew who she was talking about. He smiled as he moved to the tray of fruits on the kitchen table. 'He went to take a shower.'She nod her head to him. 'Go sit in the living room, we will serve the food.'He took a bite from the Apple he picked deliberately avoiding the look Amber gave him. He looked directly at his mother-in-law. 'Let me help.'She looked at him smiling and then nodded her head. He held his apple in his hand. 'What do I do?'She smiled at him; 'First, did you finish your work in the study?'Nicholas nod his head.She smiled again. 'First, tell me, how does this taste?' She told him as she placed a half full soup of the porridge, she blew on it first before putting it into his mouth.After few seconds, he gave her a th
She sighed as she entered her office, immediately she sat; Lucy knocked and entered.'Good morning, ma.''Morning, Lucy. What about the T.K transport company?' She turned on her computer.'Ma'am, I have been tried to get appointment but the Secretary says her manager is not available right now but I will check again.'Amber looked at the lady; sometimes she could be unreliable and most times she was a dedicated secretary. She looked at Lucy; she had called Lucy on Saturday to tell her to confirm the appointment with the transportation company and she must have put aside everything else to do the task; even though she didn't get the appointment.'How was your weekend, Lucy?'Lucy stared at her for a second, not totally understanding the reason for the question. 'It was fine ma.'There were good days and bad days; bad days; her boss didn't give her any sympathy or show any concern but the good days.......... This was one of the good days; a
She met him waiting for her by the front door. The Grand palace was not far from her office; a walk would be 20 minutes, a drive at ten and the restaurant was a few miles from her house by foot; there wasn't so much distance.He smiled at her as she approached him. But she didn't fail to notice the way a woman looked at her when she walked passed.She couldn't stop herself. 'Is there a particular dress code for place like this?She wasn't looking bad. She didn't change from her office clothes, so what?He smiled as he moved close to her; he was glad she didn't argue with him over the phone or turn him down, maybe she was excited as he was.'You are fine. You look perfect.' He said as he put his hand at the small of her back and begun guiding her into the Grand palace; she entered the restaurant, the lady at the front wanted to say something but seeing Nicholas with her, shut her up and he walked passed her and walked into the restaurant
The hallway was dirty; when she walked in before the elevator closed behind her. She looked at her secretary, who came in after her.'Good morning ma.' She greeted.This wasn't really a good morning, look at this place and at 8, when the woman was supposed to resume at 7.'What is the meaning of this, Lucy?'She looked at her boss; confused and then Amber pointed to the hall way, she looked at it and looked away.If Cassie had been here before her, she would have begun shouting.'Sorry, ma.' She said getting to her desk about to call someone; just then the cleaner came in from the elevator; a middle aged woman; she bowed her head as she got off the elevator and hurried past her before Amber could say anything.She just shook her head and walked to her office and closed the door after her; sometimes some of her employees forgot their place; just because she became familiar with them.She had work to take care of before her meeting.
She frowned as the door opened and Jake showed his face.She sighed and went back to her work.After last night; she had sent him a message instead of calling; she didn't feel like hearing from him; that was why she didn't call in the first place.Now, he was here; doing what?When Lucy had told her; he was here; she had wanted to tell him, I am not available right now but instead she thought; that would give him a reason to question her, he would ask her about Nicholas that was totally irrelevant and to show him she is completely cool after what he said last night; she had to see him; show him; who was more rational in this relationship.'Hey, Babe.' He said as he walked through the large room to meet her desk.She gave him a lazy smile. 'Hey, Jake.' She wasn't a good mood to talk to him right now.He sat on the visitor's chair; and looked at the documents on the table in front of her and a pen, cup of coffee by it.'Are you almost
