I glanced at my wristwatch, it was 7am. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and freshen up…
I changed into my gym clothing and headed downstair
“ Good morning son”. My dad greeted
“ morning dad”. I greeted back
“ Are you feeling nervous?”. he asked
“Why will I?”. I replied
“You just nee-d to make a speech and…..
“ dad, I know what to do”. I replied cutting him short
“ That is my son”. he praised me.”
I scoffed and headed to the gym…….
.
.
I was surprised to see Donald and Mikel in the gym house
“ really guys , when did you get here?”. I asked
“6am”. Donald replied
“ you mean you c@m£ over to my house without checking on me?”. I asked
“ sorry man, we thought you were still slee-ping”. Mikel replied
I looked at them and sm-irk
“ you guys are impossible “
“ are we all going together to the dinner p@rty?”. Mikel asked
“ No,I nee-d to go pick my d@t£”. I replied
“ cool”. he replied
I thought about Nora, I really missed her ………

I really can’t wait to see Damon, I really can’t wait to feel his hands around me
I glanced at the time and smiled, just few hours left to meet Damon

Nora POV
.
I glanced at the time, it was alre-ady 5pm. I quic-kly jumped up from the be-d and rushed into the bathroom to bath. I returned to the room with my towel wra-pped around me, I walked towards the wardrobe and pu-ll-ed out five beautiful go-wns
“ choose the most beautiful go-wn?”.I asked Zara who was quietly watching me all throu-gh
“ The blue, no the red or should I say the pink”. She replied confusedly
“ what are you saying?”. I asked her
“ The go-wns are all beautiful?”. She replied, I can’t choose
I looked at the five go-wns in front of me and sighed
“ just put on the red one “.she said
“ really?”. I asked
“ yes, it will have give you a fitting when you wear it”. She replied
“ Thanks sis”. I said flashing her a smile
.
I stared at myself in the mirror with my eyes wi-de-ned in surprise
“ wow, is this really me?”. I muttered
“ you look like an angel”.Zara complimented
“ Thanks”. I said
The go-wn was just perfect, it gave me a close fitting and brou-ght out my shape in a very attrac-tive way
I plaited my long hair is a loosed bun
“ why can’t you let it fall”. Zara suggested
“ My hair is too long “. I said
“ that will make it perfect”. She said
I looked at her and smiled
“ how do you know so much about fashion?”. I asked her
“ just do as I say”. She said ignoring my question
“ fine”. I said as I let my hair fall
“ perfect”. I heard her muttered
I brou-ght out my make up box and applied little
“ is it okay?”. I asked facing her
“Make use of a pinkl-ipstick”. She suggested
“ why?”. I asked
“ your l!pcolour is pink , you don’t nee-d to change it, you just nee-d to make it brighter”. She explained
Alright”. I nodded
I cleaned off the redl-ipstick and applied a pink one…
I stared at my reflection in the mirror and could not believe the lady staring at me was me .
.
.
I heard the sound of a car driving into the compound
“ I think Damon is around”. Zara said running out to confirm if it was Damon
“ Damon”. I heard her screamed and I smiled
“ Zara”. She called , Damon is here
I stared at the beautiful shoes in front of me
“ which one do I put on?how I wish Zara was here
I settled for the black heels and gr@bb£d a red purse
Black goes with anything”. I thought
.
.
I headed outside and g@sped in surprise when I saw Damon
“ he was looking like a demi- god in his all white outfit . His face lit up when he saw me
“ Nora,you look beautiful “. he complimented staring at me, I never knew you hair was this long
“ Thanks”. I replied blu-shing
“ it looks good on you”. he remarked
“ Thanks”. I muttered looking at Zara who gave me “ I told you” look
“ what of your mother?”. he asked
“ She went over to the shop”. Zara replied
“ Good”. he nodded
“ I want to go with you”. Zara said whining
“ you can’t”. I said eyeing her and I looked on in surprise as Damon bent to her size and whispered something to her and immediately her face lit up
“ Bye”. She waved at both of us , make sure you both have fun”. She said as she win-ked at me
.
.
“ what did you whisper to her?”. I asked Damon on our way
“ I just made a promise to her”. he replied
“ what promise?”. I asked
“ it is between Zara and I”. He replied with a sm-irk
We remained silent throu-ghout the drive . I stared at him and he appeared to be lost in thought
He soon parked in front of the hvge Adams h0tel. I stared at the h0tel and shivered as I thought about the short time I spent with Mr Parker
“ Are you all alright?”. Damon asked
“ I am fine”.i replied forcing a fake smile
He got out of the car and quic-kly rushed to help me open the car door
“Why did you open the door for me?”. I asked him
“ you are my d@t£”. He replied
He took my hands into his and held it ti-ghtly and immediately the reporters rushed towards us
“ who is the lady with you Mr Adams?”a woman asked
“ how do you feel being the ceo of Adams corporate at a young age”. Another asked
Damon ignored all of them as we walked inside
“ i really nee-d to make use of b©dyguard”. he muttered
I felt all eyes on us as we walked in
“ Come this way sir”. a lady ushered us, I looked at her and immediately looked away when I recognised her as the painted Barbie receptionist
“ ma’am you look very familiar”. She said smiling at me, have we met before?”
“ No”. I lied
“ but…………
“ can you just let me be?”. I yelled at her
“ I am sorry ma’am”. She apologised and immediately backed off
I looked at Damon and met his gaze, it was a blank gaze
.
.
I stared in awe as we got into the hall, it was really grand, spacious and beautiful
We were ushered to the vip section and I g@sped in surprise when I saw the president and some important persons in the country pres£nt
“Are you alright?”. Damon asked as we sat down
“ sure”. I nodded
I saw Tonia walked in with her parent and she gave me an evil glare when her gaze met mine
“ bit-ch”. I muttered
.
.
.
I watched Damon gave his speech brilliantly
“ is this same guy who k!$$£d me”. I thought staring at him proudly
.
“ Thanks to my dad and my friends that stayed by me despite odd times”, Thanks to my late mum that made me who I am today, Thanks to Petra for holding my hands when I was down, Thanks to Zara a little kid that gave me words of encouragement just this morning “.he paused and looked at me and Thanks to a special friend of mine that made me see reasons to move on when I met her “.he said appreciating and the whole guest cl@pped
“I promise to do my best and make Adams corporate expand to the whole world, Thank you”. He said with a bow
.
.
“ you did great”. I whispered to him as he sat down beside me
“ Thanks” he muttered squee-zing my hands
I watched and smiled as most of the guest c@m£ over to greet him and g@sped in shock when I saw a familiar face. Mr Parker
“ Congratulations Damon”. he greeted
“ Thanks Parker”. Damon said staring at me
Why is he staring at me”. I thought
Mr Parker looked at me and smiled
“ Helo Nora”. he greeted, it has been long
“ yes em re tr Parker”. I stammered
“See you later”. he said to Damon and flashed me a smile before leaving.
“ do you know him?”. Damon asked gazing intently at me
“Not really”. I replied
“Really, but he seems to know you well”. he said
“ yes, em er he is kind of a stranger”.i replied
“ A stranger that paid your fees”. He said
“ what!!!!”. I exclaimed in shock
he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping
“Did he fv¢k You?”. he asked
“ Damon”. I called with tears flowing down my eyes
“Did he fv¢k You?”. he asked again calmly
“ I don’t know what you are talking about”. I tried acting confused
“ really?”. he asked
I nodded
“Damn you and your lies”. He cursed and left the hall in anger
“ Damon”. I called but it was alre-ady late………

Damon POV
.
.
I rushed outside in anger , I bit myl-ips trying to control the pain
I felt betrayed.
“ she even lied when the truth was in front of her “
I held my heart because it was hurting
“ Nora what did you do to me”. I yelled and suddenly st©pped when I heard someone called me name
I turned to look back and g@sp in shock
“ Annabella”. I called
“ Damon”. She called back
“What the hell is going on here?”……..
.
.
.
Damn! What an episode?

.
What will happen now?
.
Bella is alive
.
I am speechless

“ Bella”. I g@sped in shock
“ Damon”: she called moving closer
“ what is going on here”. I yelled
“ Damon”. She called again, it is me your Bella
“ Are you a ghost?”.i asked, your pres£nce here is freaking me out
“ it is me Bella”. She replied
“ Bella”. I called tou-ching her, it is really you
She nodded
“What happened?, how are you alive?”. I asked in confusion
“I nee-ded to survive to be with my love”. She replied
“That doesn’t answer my question, how the hell are you alive?”. I barked
“ Are you not happy to see me?”. She asked with puppy eyes
“ I am just confused here”. I replied her
“ I will explain everything to you”. She promised
I just stared at her without replying. she was really Bella, she had the dimples, the same voice , everything……
“ Damon”. Mikel called running towards me
“ I have been l…………….”. He st©pped and stared at Bella
“ what is happening here Damon?”. He asked, don’t tell me you now communicate with ghost
“ Mikel”. Bella called, it is really me
“ Damn she still has that innocent look”
“ I don’t really un-derstand what is going on here”. He yelled
“ neither do I”. I replied
“ what is happening? Why did you storm out of the hall like that?”. he asked
“ it is none of your business”. I replied him
“ you mean you left Nora inside because of a ghost?”. He asked with sarcasm
“ I am not a ghost”. Bella shouted
“ Then where have you been since?”. Mikel asked, The last thing we heard was that you died in a car accident and that was two years ago
“ did you see my b©dy?”. She asked
“ No”. I replied calmly
“ Then why are you insisting I am dead”. She said
“Where have you been all this while?”. I asked her staring into her eyes and I watched her blink uneasily
“ where?”.I repeated
“ I lost my memory”. She replied and started sobbing
“ really. I scoffed , and when did you recover it back?”. I asked
“Just last week”. She replied, and I did everything possible to come back to you
I looked at her and I sighed
“ it is alright Bella”. I replied hvgging her
“ Damon. plea-se don’t leave me”. She said holding me ti-ghtly
“ it is alright”. I replied
“ promise me”. She said
“ can we talk about this later”. I asked dis£ngaging from the hvg and she nodded
“ Mikel”. I called
“ yes”. He replied looking at me
“ plea-se take her home “. I instructed
“ you do that Damon”. He said obviously still scared of her
“I nee-d to take Nora back home”. I said
“ fine”. he sighed, where is your home?”. He asked Bella
“ I don’t have a home”. She replied, and who the hell is Nora?”. She asked
“What do you mean you don’t have a home?”. I asked her
“ I don’t have anywhere to stay”. She replied
“ where have you been staying?”. I asked her
“ in a h0tel”. She replied
“ Then let him drive you back to the h0tel”. I told her
“I don’t want to go there”. She whined, I want to go with you
“That is not possible”. I replied
“ Why? Damon why? Do I irritate you now?”: she asked with tears, I survived death and c@m£ to see you immediately and you rejecting me because you have found a new girl. Is this promise you made to me?”.She yelled
“ I made the promise two years ago?”. I replied her
“ should I just go and die?”. She asked and immediately I felt guilty
“ fine. I will come back for you after i drop Nora”.I replied
“ who is Nora?”. She asked
“ A friend”. I replied and I saw her sighed in relief
.
.
I walked into the hall with so many things running throu-gh my mind
“I have always prayed for a miracle like this but why does my heart feels heavy?”.
“ Son you did great”. My dad said as soon as he saw me
I gave him a small smile looking around the hall for Nora..
“ where is Nora?”: I asked Donald who was sitting at a corner flir-ting with a girl
“Guy, why did you leave the hall like that?. The p@rty was all about you and you left at the middle of the celebr@tion
“ I pla-yed my p@rt well”. I replied him so plea-se answer my question
“ I saw her with Petra”. he replied grinning
.
.
I was about going to question Petra when I saw Nora coming out from a room.
“ Damon”. She called walking towards me, her eyes were so-re from crying
“ Let us go”. I said not meeting her gaze
“ where are we going?”. She asked
“ your home”. I replied her
“ Damon ,I ………
“ can we go now miss”.i said cutting her short, meet me in the car…..
.
.
The drive to her house was a quiet one
“What will do about Bella, do I still love her “. I thought, she was my first love and …….damn it, I am so confused
“Damon”. Nora called distracting me from my thoughts
“ what is it?”. I asked her
“ I am sorry”. She replied
“ what are you sorry about?”. I asked her
“ I am sorry for lying “. She replied
“ really?”. I asked , there is nothing to be sorry for
“ what do you mean?”. She asked softly
“ we are not into any relationsh!p, we are just friends so anyhow you choose to live your life is none of my damn business”.i replied
“ Damon I am so sorry”. She said crying , your are hurting me Damon
I immediately felt my heart race
“ what is wrong with me”.i thought
I ignored her as she kept on pleading
“ Damon, st©p the damn car”. She suddenly yelled
I looked at her in surprise
“ st©p the car”. She repeated and I st©pped parking by the road side
“ what is wrong with you ?”. I asked her
“I lied because I was scared you would leave me, I lied because I was ashamed of me, I lied because I loved you.”.she said
“ does that change anything?”. I asked
“I am re-ady to tell you the whole truth if you are re-ady to listen “. She replied
I just stared at her in surprise
“ we can go now?”. She said
I sighed as I started the car and continued driving
.
.
“ Bye”. She waved as she got down from the car
I nodded and drove off
“ why didn’t she tell me the truth in the first place? I love her and still do but what of Bella? I still love her also “
.
I parked in front of the hall and Bella ran towards me to hvg me
“ you were late” she queried
Can we go home?”.she asked and I nodded
I waved at Donald and Mikel who were obviously still shocked and drove off heading for home
I walked into the sitting and sighed in relief when I met no one
“ I was not in the mood for questions”
I climbe-d up the stairs dragging Bella along
.
.
We got the room and Bella immediately fell on the be-d
“ I love this be-d”. She said in excitement
I walk into the bathroom to freshen up and when I returned to the room I was surprised to see Bella in only her br@ and p@n-ties
“ what are you doing?”. I asked her
“Getting re-ady to shower”. She replied, what can I change into?”. She asked
I walked over to me wardrobe and gave her one of my pyjamas
“Thanks”.she said as she walked into the bathroom
“ what will happen now”, I muttered as I la-id on the be-d
She soon returned to the room putting on the over sized pyjamas smiling
“ I miss you Damon”.she said moving closer to me
I stared at the pointed bo-ob s……..” damn, what am I thinking of?
“ Damon, I still love you so much “. She said as she placed herl-ips on mine , i held her ti-ght as I k!$$£d her hungrily
“ I was really S-x starved,
I k!$$£d her n£¢k giving her hic-keys and immediately re-moved her shi-t
I gr-unted in plea-sure
“ I love you Nora”. I muttered
“ who the hell Is Nora”.she yelled breaking the k!ss
