Debby’s POV
“………. so, I left in a hurry” Anna concluded.
I listened to her carefully and sighed de-eply.
“So, you mean, you can’t recall what happened last night?”
“No… I drank too much, I really don’t remember anything”
“Not even the guy’s name?”
She shakes her head, and bur-st into tears again.
“So, you don’t know if you have S-x with him or not…what if you did and later find out you’re pregnant!”
Ok, I don’t know if I’m comforting her or panicking myself!
“Debby… I’m really a slut now! I had a one nightstand with a stranger… I’m a slut!” She wailed.
I rest her head on my shoulder and pats her back…..I guess I shouldn’t mention the S-x and pregnancy to her no more.
She simply nee-ds comfort now.
“No, you are not a slut… you were drun!kand not in your right s-en-se, no one’s gonna blame you for it”
She st©ps crying momentarily.
“Really?”
“Yeah…..”
She cuts me off with her loud cry.
“It’s a lie! Everyone will think I’m a slut!”
Hmm…. Anna has always been the strong one among us, she’s always been the one to comfort me when I’m down.
I can’t believe she could be this vulnerable too.
“I’m a slut, Debby”
I placed my f!nger on herl-ips and shushed her.
“Anna, why not look at the bright side of things… It’s kinda like a good thing too”
“H-how?”
“Having S-x with a stranger can be good too.. like you don’t nee-d to walk past each other in the corridor or bu-mped into each other in the neighborhood…. There won’t be any awkwardness between you two” I explained to her gently.
“Why?”
“Because you are both strangers… who knows he might have forgotten your face by now!”
Anna thinks about it and a small smile crept into her face.
“Yeah! You are right… Why didn’t I think of that?” She exclaimed.
She quic-kly throws her arms around me, hvgging me very ti-ghtly.
Her phone beeps and she reach for it…. I re-leased a long breath immediately he lets go.
Meh! This girl is an iron woman!
“No!” She exclaimed, still staring at the screen.
“What?” I asked curiously.
She sighs and tossed the phone on the be-d.
“My models and designs are nee-ded next week!”
“Oh!”
“Oh?!” She mocks me. “That’s a very short time…. ”
I frown….yeah, it’s a very short time.
I haven’t told Andre about it and seeing how he’s so damn possessive, I’m not even sure if he’ll agree to it.
“The time is too short, I haven’t…..”
“Wait….What do you mean short time? I mean your designs are re-ady, aren’t they?”
I should be the one complaining because of my over-possessive b©yfri£nd…I nee-d a lot of time to convince him gradually.
“No!”
“No?! Then which design do you want Lucas and I to try on today?”
“That was just an excuse to get you both to come… since it’s been long we spent time together!”
My jaw almost fall to the ground hearing her explanation…. had Andre not behave matured and held himself, he’d have fought with Lucas.
Just because Anna wants us to spend time together?
I got up.
“Anna, since you’re better now, I should go home”
Home? Why do I feel like I love the sound of that?
“You’re going home? What about our get together?”
“Well, use this opportunity to create some new designs and we’ll reschedule our get together!”
I know Andre left in anger, it’s better I go back early before he thinks otherwise!
“But…..”
“I promise my Andre I’ll be home early!”
She smiled and wags her brows at me…I simply frown in confusion.
“Your Andre?”
That’s when I realized what I said….. My Andre!
Well, he’s mine for now…..at least until I change him completely.
“Whatever! Anyway, I gotta leave now!”
She got up and pu-lls me in for a brief hvg.
“Thanks for comforting me”
“You’re welcome, darling” I k!$$£d her cheek and head towards the door.
Stepping out of her room, I saw a sticky note on the door. I pu-ll-ed it out and re-ad it out.
*Debs, Anna… I have to leave, something c@m£ up and it nee-ds my urgent attention!*
Anna sighs.
“Well, I guess it’s just me now… I’ll eat something ice cream and pizza alone!” She sulks.
I laughed and gave her shoulder a gentle squee-ze… Then I head out of her ap@rtment.
Just as I step out, a taxi c@m£ by and I got in.

Writer’s POV
Andre sighed as Sean finished narrating his story.
“You know, she’s the first woman that fell asleep on me… she left me all h0t and bothered last night” he took another gulp of his Hennessy.
Andre snatched the bottle from him and keeps it far from his reach.
“Give it back to me!”
“No!” Andre denied him. “So, tell me what’s the conclusion of everything”
Sean hiccu-ps and smile brightly.
“The con…” Hiccu-p. “conclusion” hiccu-p “I’m in” hiccu-p “love with her!”
“Are you seriously in love with her? Are you serious?”
He nods. “Yes….She the first woman that made me question my charms…. and that’s why I fell for her”
“But she’s gone and you don’t know where she lives”
“I know her name and I have a picture of her in my phone…. ”
Andre sma-cks his head.
“per-vert! You took a sneaky picture of her?!”
“She was just too cute, I couldn’t resist!” He laughs throatily.
“Show me the picture!” Andre commands him.
Sean reach for his phone in his pocket and hands it to Andre.
Andre tries to turn it on but it didn’t.
“Your phone is power off! Maybe some other time I’ll check but first, you nee-d to take a shower and get some sleep!”
Sean simply nod.
“You!” Andre called one of the servant boys pas-sing by. “Come here!”
The boy rushed towards him.
“Good morning, Mr Knight!” He greets.
Andre nods in acknowledgement. “Help him to one of the guest rooms…. Help him wash up and get him to sleep!”
“Yes, Mr Knight!”
The boy help Sean up… Sean smiled at Andre.
“You’re my best buddy, man” he slurs.
“Next time you wanna get drun!k, get your as-s to a bar!” He growled lowly in Sean’s face as the servant boy leads him upstairs.
Andre takes a bottle of beer and pops the cover open… Just as he’s about bringing it to his mouth, the door snaps open and heard Debby’s voice.
“Honey, I’m home!”
Andre paused and looked at the beer in his hand.
*My Angel likes it when I smell fresh!* He recalls.
He quic-kly drops the beer and hurried back to the living room.
“Angel, I told you to call me when you’re done” he said.
Debby narrowed her eyes. “Why do you sound like you were doing something bad? Did you bring another woman home?” She asked… sound kinda jealous.
Andre shakes his head.
“Never!”
She pats his cheek. “Good boy!”
“Oh! Right….you did a good job today” she said.
“I did a good job?”
“Yeah…I mean, you didn’t go all caveman on Lucas when you saw him at Anna’s”
He frowns de-eply but doesn’t say a word.
“I didn’t have, you said you love only me”
“Right! Only you!”
“But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t angry….and it feels like a fat man was sitting on my che-st when I saw him” he complained.
“A fat man sitting on your che-st?” She’s confused..she don’t seem to know what he meant.
“My che-st suddenly felt heavy!”
It occured to get what he meant….he was jealous! She laughed and head upstairs with Andre trailing behind her.
“I nee-d a warm bath” she said along the way..
“What do you like for breakfast, tell me… I’ll go tell the cook to get it re-ady” Andre asked.
Debby does a little thinking.
“Chicken nuggets!”
Andre frown. “Isn’t that a snack?”
“I don’t know, but that’s what I want to eat”
Andre nod. “I’ll go tell the cook!” Then he head back down.
Debby enters her and Andre’s room and head straight to the bathroom.

Debby’s POV
50 minutes later…. Dinning table!
I sat next to Andre… He’s so concentrated on his food.
Hmm…. I think I should tell him about my modelling contract now but what if he doesn’t agree? He’ll throw tantrums!
Maybe I should put it in a way he wouldn’t know I’m talking about me.
“Andre?”
“Yeah?”
I cleared my throat.
“What do you think about modelling as a career?”
“Modelling?”
“Yeah… Like if someone you know choose modelling as a career.. will you support her?”
“No!” He answered firmly.
“Why?”
“Dressing half n-ked and showing off their bodies to the whole world is not something I’ll ever support”
“Oh!”
He st©ps eating and turns to me, look straight in my eyes.
“And if you’re asking for yourself, drop that idea cause I won’t allow you…. Your b©dy is mine alone to see!”
What? How did he know I was asking about it for myself?
Can he re-ad minds?
“I don’t re-ad minds… Your expression gave you away!”
My shoulders swayed down in disappointment….. Where will Anna get another model to replace me?
Humph! I think I kinda miss when he doesn’t say more than two words now….when he was still talking like a robot.
“plea-se, honey… I promise I’m not gonna dress half n-ked”
“No, Angel”
“I promise my legs won’t even show”
“No!” He said firmly.
I sighed… Andre ain’t gonna give in, it’s best I give up and tell Anna to find someone to replace me.
“Right, Angel, next week I’m traveling to spain to sign a contract”
My head snap towards him in a lightening speed.
“Next week?!”..
“Yes.. any problem?”
Next week…. Next week is when Anna’s supposed to pres£nt her models and designs.
Heaven must be smiling down at me…. Luck is finally on my side!
“Angel?”
I blinked innocently and wipe off my smile.
“Oh, safe trip!” I said.
“Will you be fine on your own in our mansion?”
“Yes!” After all I’m gonna be busy too next week.
“Are you sure?”
I nod.
“Dig in, we’re going shopping after breakfast!”
What a perfect opportunity…. He won’t have to know…… hehehehe!
To be continued….
