Thanks, " Vera said to the taxi driver after dropping her off at her destination.
Staring at the building in front of her, her eyes searched for someone. "Oh, there he is," she said happily, but she stopped in her tracks after seeing something that caught her interest.
Aww, you are so cute Chris, I need your autograph, a big doe-eyed girl said among the crowd, who had gathered around the building. Congratulations on your new debut Honeyland boys, another girl binged.HAHAHA, their voice and giggles echoed through the street.
We are one of your biggest fans ,we would continue loving you and supporting you, the fans cheered.
Thanks for your unwavering support, they responded to the crowd while bowing their heads.
I will be back ..Chris silently said to Pisces as he quietly excused himself amidst the huge crowd after receiving a message on his phone.
My love..how have you been? Chris asked the lady who was classically posed,she was not too tall but her heels made her look taller as she stood elegantly in her skimpy red dress.
I have missed you ..she hugged him like a baby. " Same here daddy misses you too, he replied to her while kissing her cheek.
hunhunn ..I don't want that, she pouted in disagreement. I want you to kiss me on my lips. We still kissed the last time I met you, isn't that the last three days? We are outside and I promise to make it up to you later but not for now, Chris tried explaining.
AHAHAH she faked a cry. Okay how about I buy you the latest designers you asked for pretty Selene ..he praised her. Thank you baby she instantly thanked as she changed her sour mood to a sugar mood. I need to go sweetheart, bye ! bye! I love you, she said before getting into her red Ferrari.
Vera who was looking at the two lovey-dovey, came out from where she was hiding. Hey baby, " Vera said while waving at him sweetly.
JESUS …he groaned. How long have you been there ?. Since you got here, " Vera replied with a poker face. That was my cousin Selene …he immediately said to her, " You don't have to explain baby, I know you can never cheat on me ..vera replied to him. Here you go baby …she presented the flower she bought on her way.
Congratulations..my baby is the best, she hugged him. Get your body off me, he pushed her. " What if someone sees us ?, he quickly said looking all around. What are you doing here? He hurriedly asked. I came to celebrate with you, I watched your interview with Jordan bash today, when I was at the hospital. You didn't inform me that you were going to have an interview yesterday. It skipped my mind and was it necessary to inform you about every step of my life,he poured out.
I'm sorry baby if the word I had said hits a nerve, but I don't mean it that way… she tried explaining. " Why are you dressed like this ? he asked her, scanning her from head to toe.
What's wrong ? she tried knowing while also looking at her outfit to check for any errors.
You have the worst colour match ..and don't you see your shirt collar has already slacked and washed off. Again your jeans have a stain on them, he analysed turning her around with a scornful look. That's just a spill, she gently replied in a soft voice".I got that from sitting on a tomato paste. I wasn't aware the chair I sat on was stained, I would have cleaned it off, if I had been aware of the stain it had caused on my Jeans.
A spill" an adult like you, he said downgrading her. " What about the stuff I told you to get ? he asked her. Baby ..she called softly while raising her hands to her ear, scratching the back of her neck .I. Haven't gotten it …it is hard to get plus it is awfully expensive.
What! Are you pulling my legs? You know that is what I am planning on wearing on my 24th birthday. You of all people know maintaining a celebrity lifestyle is so f*****g hard. Just because I am asking for your help….he voiced out. You know everything I am doing is for our future and unborn kids. Do you want them to live a poor life? .Here I am, building and laying a foundation for our kids, but you can't even help with anything.
Okay …baby I'm sorry she begged, it's just that I am not financially buoyant and also am in debt. But I swear, I will get it for you soon before your birthday…she promised him.
How well is SOON? he asked folding his hands. I will try raising money and then I will get it for you before tomorrow, she persuaded.
Now are we cool? ..she asked while tugging on his shirt like a baby.
Stop acting cute it doesn't suit you, he said to her. " Okay, I'm sorry ..she begged pulling him into her embrace.
It's fine ..he said with a scornful face. Really! Thank you baby, she gladly said as she kissed him dragging his face with full force so he could kiss her back.
Do you want to break my face, he shouted after pulling out from the sudden kiss. Atleast you kissed me back, she smiled. Tsk, Tsk ! he clicked his tongue.
Je…jericho, he stuttered, what are you doing here? He asked him with a surprised expression. I just decided to go for a stroll. Trying to have a normal life ..he replied back to him.
Hi Vera ..Jericho greeted. Excuse me, Chris said before excusing himself, seeing the two were about to have a conversation.
How are you doing handsome? Vera asked smiling. Congratulations, I watched you on TV, it was the greatest and one of the best, she said using her right hand to tap his shoulder playfully. I'm sorry I did not gift you anything..she pleaded.
If I may ask? What are you doing here? He asked her while staring at her with intent eyes.
Here! Of course, she immediately said while smiling uncomfortably as she showed him the bag that was in her hand. I brought your clothes..I already finished dry cleaning it, so I felt I should bring it today.
Are you really sure? He asked searching for answers in her almond eyes.
Of course it is …she laughed.
You know, You deserved more than all this right? He said making her speechless.
I..she started uncomfortably. Oh, come on ! he gently slapped her shoulder. I was only joking, what could I have possibly known? He said with a gentle smile.
JERICHO …she called but suddenly paused at the sudden noise she heard.
Ahah! Vera, you are already here, Kro and the other boys said. Congratulations, boys you are the best, she praised. Here are your clothes. She handed it to each of them ,I made sure to make it clean, and I washed it with complete affection.
wwooh .. it's clean, Leo who've just opened the package wowed. I never thought the stain could be wiped off after the spillage and it also smells nice, he sniffed. You are the best!! He raised his thumbs.
Here you go they handed her the money. Ohh, Chris ..look, Leo said to Chris who had just entered. Vera watched it clean, you know I had always thought it wouldn't be wiped off, to think that I was so concerned ..Leo scoffed.
Hmmm..Chris mumbled, looking at her while also shifting his gaze at Jericho uncomfortably. Hi Chris ..Vera greeted, which he replied with a nod.
Can I get mine ..Jericho suddenly tugged at her sleeve, breaking the awkward stares and silence between the two.
Ohhh ..she said giving him the last bag that was in her hand, while he gave her ,her payment. Hunnn..this is way past what I charged, she said as she counted the money, this was thrice the payment I charged.
Really !!! Then keep it, he folded her hand which had money in it before he walked past her.
Handsome ..she called him but he refused to answer as he walked out of the room leaving her with the four boys. Just take the money girl..Pisces cheered.
Bye, guys she waved before walking out of the room while taking a last look at Chris who didn't even spare her a glance as he kept on pressing his phone.
Walking out the door, she met with the boy's manager and his female assistant. Hello Bassey ..she greeted him. Ohh! What are you doing here? He asked surprised. I came to drop the boy's washed clothes, she explained. Alright ! he said shortly. Hi Cassie, Vera waved at the girl behind the man.
HMPH.. " Whatever, " Cassie answered coldly with a wolf stare.
