“Good Morning b©yfri£nd” Samantha says sitting
on him and k!ss!nghim awake
He isn’t opening his eyes
“Wakey wakey sleepy head, rise and shine
b©yfri£ndof mine” she pu-lls his cheek
He still didn’t open his eyes
“Hmmm’’ tapping herl-ips she stares around and
sights the glas-s of water on the table, she was
going to sprinkle just a little on his face… it was
10am..he should get up. She looks away and
reaches for the glas-s of water and when she
turns back to sprinkle some on his face..with a
smile on her face she gets…
“BOOOO!!!’’ his eyes shoots open and he sits up
abruptly, gr-abbing her behind with his arms so
she doesn’t fall off as she screams rolling
back, the water splashes on her face instead.
He bellows out in laughter
She smiles wiping the water from her face
shaking her head “Oh, now you gonna get it” she
empties the entire contents on his head,
laughing she jumps and sprints to the corner of
the room doing the chicken dance “Na na na na
nah whack whack qwack whack!!’’
His face dripping we-t, he gets up from the
be-d… wiping it away with his hands “So, you
want to pl@ywater huh?’’ walking towards her,
she looks at either side of her… the exit door
was her only escape…
“Bas-s… hey baby..relax boy I was erm… just
pla-ying”
“Oh I know…” he is close now “Me too’’
She runs to the door, “Cra-p!!’’ she forgot that
she nee-ded a key card to open it, she turns and
faces him , laughing..”Boo?’’
“Hmm?’’
He is walking to her now, a mischievous glint in
his eyes..”No way to run to princess, so what
would it be?“ his hand are behind him
“What are you hiding?”
‘You haven’t answered me”
“Hey… what is behind your back?’’ she is curious
Silence… smile tucking at the corner of his
mouth
She tries to s£dûç£him “Hey Bas-s, you know I
am officially your girlfriend for… like almost 24
hours now so that means” she is walking up to
him now, running her hands up his b©dy “That..’
“That?”
“You can’t pay me back for anything I do to
you… you love me remember… so it means that
you forgive me for the water bath, right babe?”
she goes on ti-ptoe… k!ss!nghim, he k!sses her
back
“Hmmm very true, you are 100 percent correct
babe… but there is one little thing though”
“What is that?” her hands are around his n£¢k
and he hvgs her ti-ght with the other hand
“I love paybacks” he says wi-nking at her, his
grip is ti-ghter
“Wait what…Bas-s…what??’’
He raises up his other hand, she looks up to see
a bottle of cold water… how the hell did he
reach the fridge and get it out… it was slushy
cold…
“with my love, I thee baptize!”
She made to run but he gr-abs her ti-ghter and
pours the contents over her head, her struggle
only courses it to flow over her b©dy, we-tting
him too.
“ARGHHHHHH Bas-sSS OH GOD ITS COLD
ARRHHHHHH!!!!’’ she screams and he is
laughing.
Done, his b©dy is erupted in laughter
“Oh it’s so cold” she repeats shaking
“I know, next time, don’t start a fight you can’t
finish. Don’t worry babe, ama warm you right
up” he bends lifting her and throwing her over
his shoulders, he sl@ps her bu-tt as she squeals
and carries her to the bathroom, he turns on the
heater, puts on the shower and slowly puts her
down
“Still cold?’
She nods “Your fault…”
He laughs “Yeah, I won” he re-moves her nighty
over her head… and k!sses her nose “you’ll get
warm in a second, my princess would be all
warm and h0t in a minute… well you are alre-ady
h0t right now though but… S-xy h0t in a minute”
he wi-nks
She laughs hvgging her side as he nudges her
gently un-der the shower and enters beside her,
str!pping from his brief..
She closes her eyes as the warm water courses
throu-gh her b©dy, pouring from her head…, he
gr-abs the sponge and begins to scru-b her
b©dy… from her back to her front, he allows
the latter ca-ress her b©dy as it solely treks
down to the floor and disappears into the sink
as water dissolves the foam.
While they bath, he replaces his hands with his
li-ps, and before long, his nee-d and de-sire is
evident as she leans backwards into him.. he
drops the sponge, lifts her off the ground and
places her to the wall of the bathroom, he
makes contact with herl-ips and their b©dy sink
in rhyme towards each other… and they danced,
slowly, pas-sionately, as his hands held her
ti-ghter than before, and herl-ips m0@n ing out
his name in s-en-sual plea… they shatter together,
enjoying the bliss only two of them can give.
*****
“re-ady?” he asks her
“Yep, but I really didn’t want the weekend to
end”
“Me neither, but work… life… everything else …”
“I know’’
She is quiet while they go to the airport
“Is something wrong?”
She is worried, the weekend was wonderful,
more than wonderful, it was great. But she
couldn’t st©p herself from having that feeling…
What if it isn’t real, what if it’s one of those
moments that one gets to enjoy only for the
now and when they get back home, back to their
live. He might realize that this wasn’t actually
love, and that all he felt was lvst, infatuation
and he just had to be with her to realize it.
Maybe, maybe she shouldn’t think she was living
her fairytale dream of finding someone who
really loves her. What if once they land, he
goes back to being the the cold, pompous and
annoying Bas-s all over again and all he was
doing was pretense; pretending to change so he
could have her.
Argh!!!!
But everything felt so real, his ba-re raw
emotions, the way he told her he loved her, the
way he showed her inti-mately how he loved
her… it felt so real and she didn’t know why she
held back in telling him she feels strongly for
him too.
But what if..
She bites herl-ips
“Samantha, no secrets remember, what’s
wrong?’’ they were alre-ady seated, the plane was
moving
“what if , all this… what if all you feel is just a
mirage and it all clears like smoke from your
eyes…”
“You think I don’t love you, and all I wanted was
to have S-x with you?’
“I … I”
“Look Samantha, I have been with a lot of
women and that Is something I am not proud
off at least not anymore and I know when it is
lvst or mere de-sire and… this isn’t it.’’
“What if the novelty of what you supposedly
feel for me wears off, what if?”
He sighs turning to her “St©p, plea-se babe,
plea-se don’t ruin this… I know you might have a
lot of doubts and I swear this is the first for
me. I know that I love this feeling and I want to
keep loving it, I love you, maybe you feel doubt
because you don’t love me too… which is fine, I
told you I’ll wait, I ain’t going nowhere… now
that I found love, you think I would buckle and
run? hell no!… I am stuck on you like glue,
anywhere you go, I will follow you to the ends
of the world so you have to prepare yourself…
Bas-s loves Samantha, and she can’t do anything
to shake him off. It’s your fault”
“My fault?” she laughs
“Yes, you made me fall for you so you better
deal with it. Now give me a k!ss, plea-se and let
us bask in this. Babe..I ain’t going nowhere not
until you become old lady Cat with bucket
teeths maybe” he pu-lls her face into a k!ss
“Oh… that would be a sight”
“Yes indeed, but I’ll love you still” he k!sses her
again, linking his hands with hers.. “I am all
yours, do with me as you plea-se” he wi-nks
“Who are you, return Mr Arrogant Bas-s
immediately!!”
“Hell no!!I think I love this Bas-s more…” he
wi-nks at her, she shakes her head laughing,
feeling as-sured more than ever
******
Jamie is at her door, she opens it for her
“How did you get here so fast?”
“With what you told me… I borrowed wings from
the gods and flew… what the hell… tell me tell
me!…you guys went on a trip, saw the royals
and you made sweet sweet love after he told
you he was head over heels fallen in love with
you and and….oh….plea-se, buy me a coffin, kill
me… I will die happy.” Jamie squeals running
around the house
Samantha is laughing “I should hit you for
telling him about my birthday”
“Meh!!! You should thank me…I am effing cu-pid
bit-ches… you owe me your love life…I made you
guys happen and if you are nice and giving me
ju-icy details I wont go and tell Mr Bas-s you are
a lousy fart when you eat baked beans and you
like pressing the toothpaste from the middle,
who does that?”
Samantha laughs laying on her be-d “oh… love
covers all faults. Go ahead, he loves me, he
don’t care $h!t”
Samantha covers her eyes and squeals in
excitement “ I still can’t believe it… Mr Bas-s is
my Bas-s… like my man, my lover, my… S-xy
amazing man that blew my br@ins away while
sweeping me off my feet and he didn’t have to
do it with being arrogant, but sweet and loving
and caring and all.. oh Jamie… he says he loves
me, he says it and I am so happy I can ha-rd ly
get enough, I was scared that maybe he would
be another Christ©pher and stuff but he tells
me he loves me and all my fears goes away’’
“and did you tell him back?’ Jamie is sitting
beside her.
Silence
“Wait you didn’t tell him back? She pu-lls
Samantha up,
she shakes her head
‘Why, you don’t love him? Do you love him?”
“I do..right now this moment I do…I love him so
much “
‘Then why didn’t you tell him?”
“Because I wanted to be sure’’
Jamie looks at her, she gr-abs a book and
WHAMP!! On her head
“Oww Jamie what the hell, that hurts!” she ru-bs
her head and pouts
“Because you nee-d a br@in reset. Dude goes all
out for you, tells you how he feels and you
obviously feel the same,why not seal it?When
you going to tell him?”
“hey, I was being mysterious and ha-rd core… I
will tell him and no more hitting”
“only when you let me down. Oh… so you are
officially his girlfriend, lover… everything?”
“Yes”
“I am jealous. Good jealous. Oh, so many
broken hearts, I can’t wait to show off that I
know you Samantha like , you know he is d@t!ng

dramatically
Samantha laughs ,she is happy, very happy.
“Oh Samantha, I am happy for you both two.

“Yes, best birthday yet”
They hvg

“Miss Samantha, Mr Bas-s is holding on line one”
Shelly knocks on her door
“Do I tell him to call later, I know how you like
that he fixes an appointment and stuff” Shelly
says, its Monday morning and the work
resumes.
“Oh no, put him throu-gh”she couldn’t hide the
smile on her face.
Shelly frowns “erm… is it just me or I see a
smile and blus-h?’’
“Both”
Shelly frowns, then her eyes grows big “Don’t
tell me you and Mr Bas-s had a thing?’
Samantha laughs” Thing? Nooooo! he is my
man!!“
“He never d@t£s anyb©dy for real“
“Oh that was the Bas-s you knew… this Bas-s is
all br@nd new and he is mine“
“Oh… damn!!!” she breaks out in a smile “I am

Samantha laughs “Me too! I can’t believe it still’’
“Oh let me not keep him waiting then… oh… my
god!!!’’ she squeals running outside
“hey princess, can I come pick you up for
lunch?’’ the call comes throu-gh
“Really? erm… I guess so” she smiles.
“Great, be with you in a second”
She frowns… “wait, your office is like an hour
away from here and…” she trails off from the
sound
Knock knock!!
“Can I plea-se come in and whisk my princess
away, she works too much and I nee-d to feed
her and k!ssher and tell her I miss her and…
you know…l ove her…”
She laughs rushing to the door, she opens and
sees him standing there with a flower covering
his face, Shelly and some other females are
behind him awwning, Mr Shelton had come out
of his office, a silent smile on his face..
‘’Bas-s..?” she cuts the call as he cuts his “aww
they are lovely but everyone is staring “
“Let them stare, I don’t care” he leans in to k!ss
her..
“Shall we?’’ he gives her the flowers, she sniffs
it and then k!sses him back…
“I have to get used to this showing up randomly
right?’’
“Oh yeah babe, can’t get enough of you.”
Then they k!ssagain, Mr Shelton clears his
throat behind them
“Oh hi Mr Shelton, hope you don’t mind that I
take my girlfriend out for lunch, it is lunch
time… yes?’’
“Yes It is… and Mr Bas-s, I like this new look on
you”
“Yes, me too” he stares at Samantha “Me too”
The ladies come out in their numbers to watch
them leave
“Oh.. .dear, So Mr Bas-s is officially taken right?’
someone sobs
“I know… I know…we all loved him”
“But he got the best of us, he got Samantha and
it’s the best thing that ever happened to him’’
Shelly says genuinely happy for them
“Okay, fun is over, back to work”
“Its lunch time sir’
‘Oh’’ he scratches his head, they all laugh
****
EPILOGUE
It’s been a year since their journey began.. and
within that year, Bas-s had commissioned his
Gulen Projects for the technology institute and
had two other pri-vate ventures commissioned as
well.
Within the year, Samantha had been promoted
to as-sistant Manager of Shelton Events
Management/Business consulting firm, and she
is looking to open her own company by next
fall.
Veronica bec@m£ the most sort after model in
the industry, she has her own clothing line. She
and Bas-s are friends still.
Bas-s and Samantha commissioned other charity
projects together and he was fully involved this
time, ma-king other sponsors to join in the
humanitarian work as well.
Jamie and her Beau are going strong. Becky
left, she couldn’t handle the fact that Bas-s was
genuinely in a relationsh!pwith another woman
and not her. Sophie was promoted to PA.
Todd got married, he was still Bas-s’s driver, but
his pay doubled over the last couple of months.
Today, it was their first anniversary since they
began d@t!ng… since he asked her out a year
ago on her birthday… today was 28th birthday.
And till now he hadn’t called her nor showed up
and everyone had been pretty quiet, even Jamie,
like they forgot. She was angry… she was
fussing.
“How dare they?’ she says driving home from
work… she gets down, opens her door, kicks
her shoes “I will not talk to him or anyone ever
again…how dare they forget about today!!
Arggh!! All day ignoring my calls. Oh… I will
never talk to them or him.” she fumes, enters
her house and puts on the light
“Surprise!!!!’’ everyone bur-sts out from hiding
“Oh my God!!’’ she screams, as Jamie and
everyone else from work comes to hvg her “I
thought you all forgot’’
‘Nah!! Never! happy birthday kiddo” they hvg and
everyone hvgs her too, she sees her parents,
she is suprised
“Mum! Dad! how did you get herE?’’ she runs
into their arms, her father had changed for the
better too. He mum was happy.“Oh,we flew…
thanks to that young man over there?”
She turns to see Bas-s walking towards her, she
smiles turning to hvg him as he opens up his
arms
“Thank you” she sobs into his arms “Haven’t
seen them for ages”
“I know and You welcome princess.’’ he hvg her
back
*****
During the course of the p@rty, they roll out her
cake for her and lights it, they sing and then tell
her to b!ow out her candle..
“make a wish princess” Bas-s tells her She does
and b!ows it out.
“ What did you wish for?”
She smiles “ I have it all alre-ady” she
says,walking up to him and k!ss!nghim…
“Well, happy anniversary babe’’ he de-eps his
hands into his pocket, goes on his knees ‘’how
about you make my wish come true, I love you
Samantha Brookes, will you marry me?”
She has tears in her eyes, nodding her head
“you bet I will Bas-s, gosh I love you!! yes yes
yes yes!!’’ she says as the house goes up in a
cheerful uproar as he lifts her up, twirls her
around as she flashes her diamond ring… they
k!ss, laughing into each other’s faces while
everyone cl@ps and cheers.
This right here was all she nee-ded
And this to him was his world, right here, with
Samantha.
‘I LOVE YOU MR Bas-s’’
“I LOVE YOU MRS Bas-s”
“Oh I like the sound of that…”
“Yeah I know, so how about ma-king those twins
you talked about?’’ he wi-nks at her
“Oh you n@ûghty man..” she laughs as he spins
her again k!ss!ngher and loving her and being
her forever and a day more man.
