Later that day ….7:00pm ….With long drawn face Gabriella and Jessica sat quietly in the living room as they watched Jayden pack up the small belonging he had in their house in a small duffel bag that Jessica had provided him.All throughout today at work and on their way home but Gabriella’s mind was already made up, she could no longer deal with him and the troubles he threw her way.Gabriella folded her hands across her chest, her gaze fixed on the empty space in front of her.“Thank you for letting me stay here for time being,” Jayden voiced as he finally packed up his bags and headed for the door.“Yeah,” Gabriella muttered, her face stoic and expressionless, she sat still where she was her hands still folded across her chest.Immediately they heard the door slam shut, Jessica pushed herself forward on the chair and leaned in closer to her.“It’s late Gab, this guy doesn’t even know his way around this area, you should Atleast let him stay the night!” Jessica said, Gabriella s

Later that day, “I was really surprised though and embarrassed too, I just decided to take it like that” Lydia said to Darell and they both chuckled softly, they were actually at their duty post with Gabriella, there wasn’t any customer at the moment, so they just found their self talking and gisting randomly about past events in their lives.“If it was me, I wouldn’t have taken it! I would have fought for what I deserved!” Jayden said and Lydia shook her head with a small smile as she hit him playfully on his shoulder.“Didn’t you just hear what I said?! Fight for what I deserve with which money, on what grounds?!” She asked, he made to talk but he restricted himself from doing so immediately, one week ago ?! Yes. But now this was his reality and it’s true! He wouldn’t have been able to do shit!.“I know right, I get it!”“Can you guys just keep quiet for a little bit!” Gabriella finally voiced turning to them, they had been talking for some minutes now without involving her and h

A few moments later …Gabriella knocked on Jaden’s door, she slowly pushed it open and peeped into his room.“Can I come in?!” She whispered her eyes darting across the room.“You’re already in,” he replied shortly, she released a small awkward smile as she let go of the door and walked in.Prior to when Gabriella came in, he was just seated on his bed, staring at nothing in particular.Thoughts of his mother and cousin flooding his head, he couldn’t believe his mother disowned him just to make his cousin her son. Thinking of that hurt his heart so much, he felt like his heart could burst out because of the hurt.“Can I seat here?!” Gabriella whispered pointing at the space beside him, he slowly looked up at her and nodded slowly.“Sure,” he replied adjustsing for her to seat beside him.She exhaled deeply and took her seat beside him, she gently placed her hands on his thigh and looked up at him.“It was an honest mistake on Jessica’s part right,” she whispered and he nodded slowly.

Shortly After ….Jessica placed a small knock on the door to the room before she pushed it in and walked in.Gabriella just stared at her as she walked in and slowly made her way towards the bed, Gabriella was seated in front of the mirror, she had just had her bath and was trying to do her skin care routine for the night.“Bestie, are you okay?!” Jessica asked, she gently took her eyes off her reflection in the mirror and looked at Jessica in the mirror, she flashed her a dry smile before turning the chair to face her.“Ofcourse I’m fine, thank you for listening to my rant earlier,” she replied and Jessica nodded with a firm smile, she gently pulled the chair close to her and sat on the edge of the bed, she took Gabriella’s hands in hers as she stared in her eyes.“You do know that Jayden really loves you right,” she said.“And you shouldn’t blame him wanting to start a family with you,” “That’s not the point,” Gabriella interjected softly,“I listened to you talk and I get your po

Next Day …“Easy, easy gently,” Isabella kept saying to Jayden as he walked down the staircase, she held his drip rack for him as she assisted him down the staircase and towards the living room.“Are you sure you’re strong enough for all these?!” She asked for the umpteenth time, he sighed deeply as he looked up at her.“I’m fine Bella,” He replied, she nodded slowly and they continued their slow and steady steps downstairs.Immediately they got downstairs, she assisted him to sit on the chair, turned on the TV for him, quickly dashed to the freezer and took out a bottle of freshly pressed pineapple juice for him.“You know you don’t have to do this ?! We can always get an help” Jayden said as she poured him the juice in a cup, she smiled and quietly moved the cup closer to him and recapped the bottle.“Let’s watch a movie,” she replied instead as she took her seat beside him, picked up the remote and selected a movie for them to watch, she scooted closer to him and the movie began,
