★ THE REUNION ★
JEROME APARTMENT
“Where’s she?” Jerome who was seated up on the bed muttered to himself as he kept waiting for Pearl to show up.
On hearing her footsteps, he quickly lay on the bed faking a cough as soon as she walk in.
“Jerome, get up and eat” she said as she sat up on the bed.
“I don’t feel like eating” he said and held onto his stomach underneath the bed sheets, hoping his stomach wouldn’t growl out in hunger.
“But you’ve got to eat, so you can use your meds. Let me help you up” Pearl insisted and help him seat up.
“It’s best you feed me, I have a shaky hand” he said showing her his hands.
Picking up the bowl with hot porridge, she began to feel him while he felt a thrill of excitement.
Pretending to be sick sure do works, thanks a lot, Larry….he thought as he took another mouthful of the delicious porridge.
“If someone had told me that i will be feeding you like a baby, I would have done my best to stop you from being the male model”
“Being a model isn’t that bad”
“It isn’t to you but it is to me. I have tons of work to do and here I am feeding a grown up man and also did you enjoy every part of the $h00t today?” Pearl asked.
“Where’s that question coming from?”
“It’s just that you said being a model isn’t bad and that’s probably because you enjoy the kissing scene with your partner” She said, looking away from him.
Jerome was lost for a while but when he realise what she meant, a smile left his lips.
“Are you jealous?” He asked suddenly and immediately, she stared at him.
“Of course not! Am not jealous…am just a bit angry. You keep telling me to stay away from guys and you do the opposite. If you can be angry, I can be too” she replied quickly which made him laugh out.
“It’s not funny! Wh@??ver, take your meds when you finish the porridge yourself!” She snap and left the room.
She slam the door hard when she got into her room.
“He gets angry when it comes to me and when I get angry, he laughs it off like it’s nothing. Such a jerk!” Pearl muttered as she went to get her bathing things.
At that moment the door open and Jerome came into the room.
“You should be in bed and not…” A gasp left her lips when he stood very close to her.
“I get angry whenever I see you with other guys because am jealous. It drives me nut when I see you chatting and laughing with them when you rarely do that with me and that’s because I love you”
“The reason why I kept laughing is because I find it hard to believe you got jealous during the $h00t”
“Have told you that it isn’t jealousy” Pearl said, but he place his finger on her lips to prevent her from denying it more.
“It is jealousy and that can only mean one thing. You are in love with me” Jerome countered.
The two watch each other in silence till Pearl broke the spell.
She move away from him, standing by the window to keep some distance between them.
“Its not love Jerome. Am just angry that’s all and also you feel so proud for someone who broke the contract. You should be paying me for breaking the contract first” She said, changing the subject.
“I have no problem paying you in cash since am rich enough but I can’t help but to want to pay you with a kiss instead” he said cornering her once again.
“A…a kiss…I don’t want it” she said trying to move away but he held her by the waist and pulled her into his arms.
“You told me to pay you and it’s only right that I pay you” he whispered seductively, bending towards her but she found a way to escape.
“I don’t want a kiss. Am going to take a shower and I want you to leave, you…you pervert” she added as she went straight into the bathroom.
Jerome couldn’t stop himself from laughing.
“She’s so cute but why am I feeling so horny tonight” he said while scratching his head.
On the other hand, Pearl had just finish taking off her clothes and was about to get into the shower when she heard her door being open.
Hasn’t he left yet…she thought and quickly got into a bath robe.
She was tying her belt when the bathroom door open revealing Jerome in his own bathrobe.
“W…what are you doing here?” She said feeling a bit naked in her short bathrobe.
“I thought you might need someone to scrub your back and so, here I am” he said as he close the door.
“But I don’t need you to scrub my back, I want you to leave ” she said trying to look strict but that didn’t seem to work on Jerome.
“You and I have been celibate ever since we got married two months ago. Don’t you think we should do something about it?” He asked moving towards her.
Pearl was about to dodge him when he lifted her by the waist and made her seat on the white tile sink.
“Ever since I fell for you have been having countless of showers but I won’t be doing that tonight. I intend to make love to you tonight” he said and kissed her immediately.
At first Pearl tried to fight him off but his hands began caressing her thigh, she gave up and gave into pleasure.
Jerome stopped kissing her to trail kisses down her throat, exposing the curve of her B-__-bs to his gaze when he open the bathrobe a bit.
“If you didn’t feel a thing for me then you would have resist my kisses but you do my precious one, you feel something for this husband of yours” he whispered against her lips and once again claimed it.
As soon as he lifted her off the sink, she wrap her legs around his waist and let him take her back to the bed room where he lay her down.
He stood up to pull off his bath robe when the intrusion came.
The consistent ringing of the bell burned out the passion in Pearl and she quickly left the room to answer the door.
“Father Nicholas” She called as soon as she saw the intruder.
“Am sorry for coming this late to see you but you’ve got a visitor at the orphanage looking for you”
“A visitor? Who ?”
“Your biological father” Father Nicholas inform leaving Pearl speechless for a while.
Jerome who had heard this held Pearl from behind and ask.
“Do you want to meet him?”

DIAMOND BAR
Larry was having a drink at the counter, enjoying his solitude when he saw Cassie arrive.
“What the f-__-k” he curse, quickly turning away so she wouldn’t notice him but it was too late since Cassie had seen him already.
“Hello, Larry” she greeted as she settle beside him .
“I doubt if this is just a mere coincidence” Larry said.
“It isn’t, I kind of followed you here” Cassie revealed.
“And you don’t even mind revealing yourself to be a stalker?” Larry asked as Cassie took a sip from his drink.
“I don’t mind being called a stalker since am doing it for a good cause”
“A good cause which is?”
“You. Am being a stalker to get the guy I love” she answered.
“Fine then, let’s accept that you like me but do you even think I feel the same? You don’t even know what I think about….”
“Tell me what you think about me!” Cassie said suddenly.
“You really want to know what I think of you?” Larry asked and she nodded immediately.
“For one I think you are dumb. Like a normal person wouldn’t see a guy and immediately call him her love and secondly, you are just too ugly to be my type of girl”
“Have dated enough model to know the perfect girl for me and you aren’t that girl. Thirdly, you don’t have the perfect fashion sense, this outfit doesn’t suit you one bit, it makes you look like a pig”
“And fourthly, I h@?? girls who do the chasing first. I enjoy to chase rather than to be chased, it’s annoying to me and lastly…”
“I think you’ve said enough” Cassie said as she stood up and left.
Larry went back to drinking his brandy but he kept on feeling bad by the things he said to her but she had asked him to.
And even if she did, he shouldn’t have been rude to her…he thought as he left his seat and went after her.
He was sadden to see that she left, he was about going in when a figure standing beside his car caught his attention.
“@zzhole! Jerk! Nerdy baboon! Just because am interested in you doesn’t give you the right to insult me”
Cassie said as she continuously hit his car and unknown to her Larry was watching her.
“So what if I fell you at first sight? It doesn’t make me dumb. It’s your loss since you lost a girl who would have love you wholeheartedly. You ugly racoon! ” She said as smash his windscreen with her purse since she was hitting it on it.
Immediately, the windscreen broke, Cassie was about to escape when she saw Larry watching her.
“I was only hitting it lightly, I didn’t mean to break it” She said as Larry walk past her to check the broken windscreen.
” You are….”
“I know. Am stupid for doing something stupid but I was angry, I just had to let it out”
“I wasn’t going to say stupid. What I was going to say is that you will end up seeing more of me like you want” Larry said.
“More of you? What I want right now is not to see you at all!” Cassie half yelled.
“Then you shouldn’t have broken my windscreen in the first place. I was going to collect the bill from you but I change my mind, from now on you will be my driver” Larry said.
“What!”

<< HOPE ORPHANAGE HOME >>
As soon as Pearl walked into father Nicholas room,the man seated on the sofa got up watching her as much as she was watching him.
“Mr Alexander” Pearl called and immediately, he walk towards her and gave her a hug.
“My child, am so sorry” he kept saying while crying profusely and Pearl couldn’t hold back her tears too.
When they had shed enough tears, they took a seat on the sofa talking about the past.
Pearl found out that her mother was the one who brought her to the orphanage home after finding out that she had stage four cancer.
Her mother had been a maid working in Alexander home but due to their difference in background, they couldn’t be together.
Her mother had return to London and had given birth to her only to find out about her cancer.
Not wanting Pearl to be homeless, she had left the orphanage and had died months later.
“I tried, I really did my best to find her but all my efforts were fruitless. I had no idea she had you cause she never told me a thing. It wasn’t until I began my investigation again that I found out about you, you must h@?? me” Alexander said as tears formed in his eyes again but Pearl took hold of his hand.
“I don’t h@?? you. Am grateful that you kept looking for me, I truly am” Pearl said and gave him a hug.
The reunion lasted a while and when Pearl came out of the room with Alexander, father Nicholas and Jerome were waiting outside.
“And who is he?” Alexander asked acting like he didn’t know who Jerome is.
“This is Jerome dad and he’s my husband” Pearl introduce startling Jerome.
He had thought she was going to introduce him as a friend, he didn’t expect her to introduce him as her husband.
“Nice to meet you, sir” Jerome greeted his father in-law with great enthusiasm.
“I hope you and Pearl will be able to join me tomorrow for dinner, I would like to get to know you more” Alexander said and Jerome willingly agreed.
As soon as Pearl and Jerome left the orphanage, Sebastian arrive to pick Alexander.
“Are they gone?” Sebastian asked as soon as Alexander got into the car.
” They are”
“And so, what do you think of your daughter?” Sebastian asked trying the tease his Godfather.
“That she’s hundred percent mine. She looks exactly like her mom, I wanna take her back to Mexico with me but with Jerome in the way it will be impossible” Alexander complained.
“Don’t worry, I have things prepared already” Sebastian said.
“Will it work?” Alexander asked.
“It definitely will make Pearl realise that she married the wrong guy” Sebastian replied with an evil smirk on his face.
