★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Why?” Arabella finally got to ask as she have been staring at him after he made the announcement about her sharing a plane with him.
“The plane is going to get a bit cramped and being a important figure we won’t want you to accuse our company of treating you bad and all that” Gerald replied.
“But I won’t do that and I prefer going with them and…..”
“Your luggage is being transferred to my jet already. Let’s just go. You won’t mind her staying with me right?” He asked John and Nina who had gone quiet behind her.
Refuse! Please refuse. She silently urged the two but it seems like Gerald had taken charge of things again.
She heard them agree and before she knew it. She was whisked off by Gerald who was a gentle man all throu-ghthe ride at the plane.
Though she was still feeling self conscious around him and not wanting to talk. She took out a magazine pretending to read when she felt him starring at her. Could she be over thinking it. Why would he be starring at her. She thought as she slowly looked at him only to confirm that he is.
“Having noticed me starring you must not be fully captured by the magazine. So instead of pretending to read that why don’t we talk” He said collecting the magazine from her.
“What would you like to talk about?” She asked trying to calm herself.
“Tell me about yourself? Why you chose to become a singer” He said and knowing that it might be better talking about herself than for him staring at her.
She began telling him about herself.
“I never had the thought of singing or being a model. My parents forced the thoughts on me and now am here” She ended having told him about herself and how she became a singer.
“Aren’t you missing something?” He asked still staring at her.
“What did i possibly miss?” She asked in return.
“Your love life. Do you have someone your currently dating?” He asked surprising her.
Why would he be interested in her love life. Could he be interested in her? She thought.
A part of her felt happy and excited by the thought but the reasonable part in her got her feeling sad.
She was lying to him and once he gets to know the truth he will surely hate her.
“Currently i don’t have a boyfriend. I would like to get some sleep. Wake me up once we get there” She said as she pulled down the face mask while pretending to be asleep not wanting him to ask further questions.
He couldn’t be interested in her. He is just asking due to his business interest.
They got to extent where she had grown up as a child. While the car took them to her parents home she found herself reminicing about the past.
She has once been happy here until she got pregnant and it all changed.
The car she was in with gerald stopped in front of her parents home and also the bus that had driven the others stopped there too.
They all got out to be welcomed by her mom and some few staff of theirs who did their job by collecting their suitcase.
Its been years since she had seen her parents.
After the unfair way they had treated her child. She had left to start and career and although she sent them the money due to them.
She never once came back to visit them.
Her mother look thin and weary. Wasn’t she eating well she thought as she felt a bit of guilt.
She got to where they were with gerald and john and also Nina and immediately her mom pulled her for a tight hug.
“You look chubby. What have you been eating?” Was the first thing that came out of her mom mouth.
Its been years since they last saw each other and that was the first thing she could think of to ask her.
What had she been thinking. She couldn’t expect her mom to turn to someone caring over night.
All throu-ghher childhood to adulthood days. Her mother had only cared about how much she weighed and how she presented herself in front of everyone.
“I haven’t been eating much if that’s what you are asking” She replied even as her mother attention drifted off to gerald.
“Have heard a lot about you from arabella. She thinks you’re the best and have been telling me so ever since she got the job offer” Her mother enthusiased happily conveying her lie which got arabella feeling embarra-ssed and gerald a bit skeptical.
He knew her mother was lying just like she knew that her mother was lying.
“If you would go along with the maids. They will take you to your room” She said quickly to the trio even as she gave a helping look to john who understood the situation..
Leading the way to where he knew would be their since he has been here already and have suffered the same discussion just like her mother was doing to gerald right now.
“Why didn’t you let me speak to him?” Her mother admonished.
“To stop you from saying something foolish” She replied.
“Why would I say something foolish. Its your future that I have in mind and gerald is your potential future for now” Her mother told her.
“Not this again mom. You were just telling me that john was the best future for me and now it’s gerald?” She asked incredulously.
“It is. So try to sedu-cehim or something. You are ara after all, he won’t be able to resist your charms and….”
“Stop it mom! I didn’t come here to watch you try to set me up with the richest man here. I came to work and that’s what I will be doing. I will be heading to my room” She said as she walked past her.
“Won’t you do the host thing with me?” Her mother asked but she was care from listening.
All she had in mind was to get to her room and get a little rest.
*
A continuous knock on her door woke her up. She had retired to her room and just like she wanted.
She got to have the rest she longed for even though it was being ruined now.
She got out of bed and went to open the door looking sleepy and disheveled only to see gerald standing by the door way. Dressed in a evening attire, seems like it was dinner time.
“Your mom told me to get you for dinner. Is this how the waking ara looks when she’s just getting out of bed?” He asked having a smile on his face.
Realizing that she must look a mess, she shut the door on his face and turned back to the room only for her to go back to the door to pull it open a little.
“Since I look a mess. I will try to look presentable again. Give me a few minutes” She said as she shut the door once again heading back in to get ready.
Looking more presentable and good enough, she went back outside and was surprised to find gerald still waiting.
“You should have gone back downstairs” She told him as she walked out of her room.
“I did but I was told to bring you down cause you might not show up” He replied.
“My mother can be over bearing sometimes. Am sorry” She replied as they both head downstairs.
“I somehow notice and i can tell you that I understand but it wasn’t your mother who asked me to come get you. It was your father” Gerald said only for her to stop midway.
She didn’t want to see her father. She’s still angry at him for the decision he made for her years ago.
Seeing him will only bring out the anger in her and she didn’t want gerald to witness it since it has to do with fiona but she had no choice but to go downstairs with him.
To Be Continued ✌️✌️✌️
