Lola and Emery started to hang the paintings that needed to be hung, slid in shelves the ones that Amery wanted to keep with her, and cleaned the dusty ones. When it was some minutes to the stipulated time, two of the people Amery invited walked into the showroom. They were offered drinks and sat to wait for other people to join in.When they were up to ten, she started by introducing herself, she said a few words that deserved applause and they clapped for her.After the introduction, the exhibition started. Everyone was allowed to move around, take pictures with the artworks and select the ones they were interested in. Emery and Lola attended well to everyone present, they negotiated prices very reasonably. About five of them got a painting for themselves before leaving. Amery was glad the opening of her art gallery turned out great, she got to meet people who had an interest in painting and she made some money too.It was late when the exhibition ended, Lola and Emery were keeping

The same number had been beeping on her phone for weeks now; she didn't know whose number it was. The call always ended before she picked and it was never available whenever she tried to call again. She thought it was a wrong number the first time, but it seemed suspicious now that she had received four calls in different weeks from the same number."Are you ready?" Benhail asked, walking over to her side."Yeah, let me get my bag please." She smiled and left to get her back from the shelf. She quickly dialed the number again, hoping that the caller would pick up this time, but it was the same old story—unavailable.She locked the phone and sauntered back to meet Benhail, "Where are we going?" She asked him."You will see when we get there," he took her hand in his. "Do you feel good and can you feel the baby kicking yet?" He looked into her eyes.Emery grinned, wriggling her head. "I can't, but maybe soon." She assured him."Do let me know if the baby moves, please do." "Sure, I wou

"I am worried about you, Ben," Emery said when the car slowed down at a traffic sign."Why?" He looked at her, hoping she hadn't figured out that he was sick."You do all these things," she said tiredly. "I am truly worried." She heaved a sigh and relaxed her back on the seat. "Take me around, do everything for me, and manage to fill in at work while I do nothing at all. I am worried."He chuckled, relieved she wasn't thinking about his illness at all. "I own the company, I can decide not to go for days. You don't have to worry about me, and who else would drive you around if I don't?" He asked her."You have a chauffeur, he can do the job." She rubbed her neck."I prefer to drive you myself, I want you to be under my watch when you are out there." He kicked the car and zoomed off when the traffic sign was clear. Emery felt special, she smiled, staring at him as he focused on the road. "Are you sick?" She suddenly asked.He slowed down again and glared at her. "Do I look sick?""You

Emery's eyes flickered down the restaurant, she was scrutinizing the different people who were around. She didn't know why she was doing that, in fact staring at the people's faces made them uncomfortable, but in a way, it made her feel good, at least she was getting rid of the anxiety that was building up inside of her as she'd be meeting with Benhail tonight. It was the thirtieth day of another month.She had arrived earlier than the stipulated time because she was eager to learn a new thing about him. The waiter who always took their orders came around and asked what she wanted to have. She replied by telling him to come again when Benhail was around.She glanced down at the wristwatch that was strapped on her wrist, taking note of the time, she lifted her head and a kiss landed on her cheeks. "Benhail!" She figured out with smiles all over her face. "How did you know I was here? How did you find me?" She looked around and he smiled.He drew out a chair and perched on it, "Have you

Benhail stared into her eyes, a sly smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "You were jealous, weren't you?" He grazed his hand through her back and slowly pulled the blouse off her head. He unhooked her bra, her breasts popping out in full glory."I wasn't," Emery shifted on the bed, trying to steady herself before he placed his mouth on her nipples. "I just…fuck!" She groaned when his lips brushed through her nipples; it felt hot and sharp."I just want to do something for you, give you a birthday present that you'd like. I thought hard and came up with the surprise idea." She said, relishing his mouth that was wrapped around her nipples, she held tightly onto him, straddling him as he gently sucked hard on her nipples.After a while, Benhail let go of her pink nipple which was now red from love-biting. "This is the best gift I can get today and I am glad it's coming from you, Emery." Their eyes locked for seconds, she didn't feel her breath throughout the moment he stared into her
