100 Days With Mr Romero

“I wasn’t even sure whether Gideon will make it or not yet I made his special butter cake. ” Emma mother said. Emma stared at the beautiful cake placed on the kitchen table. “I am so sorry mother. I wanted Gideon to come but I guess duty calls. ” Emma aid. “It’s okay my child. He is a man after all. He has to work to pull resources. ” her mother said. Emma gave a faint smile. Gideon can choose not to work for a full year and yet they’ll feed and afford all the comfort they desire. He is rich after all. “Hope his schedule isn’t so tight. ” Emma’s mother said as if she read her daughter’s mind. “Hope it doesn’t interfere with his responsibilities and your personal life. ” her mother said. “We are fine. ” Emma lied.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

They weren’t fine. In fact that morning, they had an argument before Emma left to her parent’s place. Her mother had invited them earlier for a house warming party. Emma had told Gideon about it and she was disappointed when he revealed to her that morning that he had an emergency to deal with in the office. She tried to convince him but Gideon wouldn’t oblige. It got to a point that she accused him of being insensitive and placing his job before her family. They argued and Gideon slammed their bedroom door and left after accusing her of being the insensitive one since she wouldn’t understand at the moment. She dressed little Ryan up and Mel drove them to her parent’s house.

In as much as she loves the mansion she lives with Gideon and Ryan with, Emma missed staying with her parents. Her father’s jokes which never got old, her mothers culinary skills and the chit_chat the three of them always had. “Emma get the cup cakes here. ” her mother screamed from the backyard which was decorated for the hangout. She arranged the cup cakes in the large bowl and went outside.

At the backyard, Ryan was on his grandfather’s laps. Neighbors had started occupying the vacant chairs around. Peter, Emma cousin was handling the barbecue spot. She placed the bowl of cookies on the large table facing everyone and sat close to her father. She winked at Ryan who smiled at her. “Such a cute baby. ” a slim woman commented. “Thanks. ” Emma replied. “Where is your husband? ” the slim lady further asked. “Uhmm. ” began Emma “He had an emergency in the office. ” her mother quickly replied. “She looked at her mother and they both nodded in understanding.

“Look who is here” Emma’s father announced while pointing towards Will. Emma’s heart began to beat faster than usual. The last time she saw Will was about a year ago. Before she had Ryan. Will is her childhood friend. He was fired by Gideon after he kissed her. But that was history now. However, Emma till felt awkward seeing him. She told her parents Will had gotten a better job so he had stopped being her driver. No one knew about the kissing incident aside Gideon, Will and her.

“Hey Little guy. ” Will said to Ryan after taking him from his grandfather. He didn’t say a word to Emma.”Meet Will. He is Emma’s childhood friend and best buddy I guess. ” Emma’s father said introducing Will to the guests around. Thank God Gideon isn’t here. ‘ Emma said in her heart. “Emma get the soda from the refrigerator.” said her mother. She quickly got up as if she was waiting to be sent. She grabbed about ten bottles and placed it in a basket. She turned around and nearly fell. Will quickly pulled her.

“Thanks. ” she said holding on to the basket. “Where is Ryan? ” she finally asked Will after they stood there silently for some seconds. “Uhmm he’s with Peter. ” Will replied. “She nodded and just when she was about to leave, Will said “How are you? ” “I am fine. ” she said then smiled while shaking her head. “It’s been quite a long time you know? ” he said. “Yea. ” she said while nodding. “I was around the neighborhood few days ago so I visited your parents and they invited me to come today. ” Will told her. “That’s nice. ” She replied.

“How is Gideon? ” he asked her. “He’s fine. ” she replied. He had some work in the office that’s why he couldn’t come over. ” she replied. Will nodded. Emma was prepared to exit the kitchen for the backyard when Will held her arm and said. “Emma I am so sorry I didn’t get the chance to properly apologize to you when Gideon sent me out. I am deeply sorry for hurting you. I.. ” “It’s okay Will. Everything is fine. That was a long time ago. It’s by the way. ” she said. “I am glad it is. ” Will replied. When Gideon caught Will kissing his wife, he nearly killed him. Will was so injured that Emma cried her heart out to Gideon to let him go. Will had no job then so Emma suggested him to Gideon. Gideon made him her driver and paid him more than he deserved after all, he was his wife’s childhood friend. She wished Gideon had given Will the chance to explain. The kiss me at nothing to her and was a product of a moment of weakness. But that was history. Her husband and her had sort it out.

Emma phone suddenly made a sound signaling the arrival of a text message. She checked it and held her mouth. She was shaking violently as if she had just been electrocuted. Will was sacred over her certain mysterious act that he snatched the phone from her. She just received a picture of Gideon kissing Judy.
