Ray is in love!

Chapter 14__I know what I want

Upon entering the living room, Harry's blue eyes ran into big brown eyes. Harry did not believe in love not to talk of love at first sight. If the way he is feeling right now is called love, he did not know but he knew that he wants this woman.
It is Harriet voice that brought him back to life.
"Hello ma", Harriet greeted the stranger.
" Oh! Is this the twin girl, so cute. I always wished to have twin", The woman said.
"Harry come over and say your greeting. This is Mrs Bugwell.", his mum said.
" Hello ma", Harry greeted the woman.
"Oh this is my son-in-law! I always wish to have boys"
The woman daughter cringed. She just can't get used to the way her mum kiss up to people.
"Son-in-law?", Harriet asked for Harry who is too dumbstruck to talk.
" kids, meet Harley,She is Mrs bugwell daughter. Isn't she pretty?", Diana asked her kids.
"Soooooo pweety", Harry said and Harley blushes.
Harriet shook her head at Harry shamelessness why the women laughed.
" Do you like her, Harry? We are planning to matchmake you...."
"Who wouldn't like her. I want to be with her for the rest of my life"
Harley scoffed.
"What kind of pick up lines is this? Weird", She said.
Diana grab Harriet.
" Daughter, let's prepare dinner why your brother and Harley get to know each other."
Harriet sigh. She hopes they will not try to matchmake her with anybody in the future.

Ashley knock Douglas.
"What do you think you're doing?", She asked him.
" What every man will do for the woman they like. I can't watch you go to blind dates with other guys!", He told her. Ashley raise her hand again to hit him but he held her hand.
"What are you doing?", she asked him.
" Let go", she said again but he held her hand.
"Douglas, Let go of my hand now!", She yelled.
" And you stop being haughty!", he yelled.
Ashley was dumbstruck.
"You stop treating me like a kid that doesn't know what he wants or what he is doing. I'm no more a immature kid. Sis is only two years older than me. I'm a big boy too. I know what I want. I want you Ashley"
He let go of her hand and held her shoulder.
"Is it a crime to like someone? Can't I like you? I want to be your man Ashley. It has been in my dream for two years now. I am no more afraid. There is nothing wrong in loving someone!"
Ashley swallowed.
"Let go", she told him and he remove his hand from her shoulder.
" Listen Douglas, you will always be a little brother to me no matter how big you think you are so stop being immature. The matters of the heart is adult things. A small boy like you wouldn't understand"
Ashley told him and walk away.
"I'm not immature, sister. I'm way more matured than you can ever expect seriously.", He said almost to himself.

Toby had been watching Vickey. She did not seem like herself today. He can not help but worry about her.
"Why are you worried about her", someone from within him asked.
" I don't know. Probably because she is my birthday mate.", he replied.
"You're sure?"
"What do you mean?", He asked his subconsciousness.
"You like her right ?
" Yes, I do but.... "
"You just confess that you liked her.."
"No, no. That is a slip of the tongue. Yes, I do like her but not in such a dirty way.".
" How do you know I'm talking about the dirty way. Could it be that you're liking her in the dirty way".
"Stop it!", Toby yelled.
" something wrong?", Dorris asked.
"No sis", he replied.
" Then concentrate", Guy told him.

Ray is so restless.
"It's been how many days now. Won't she call me? Can't she tell that I'm really angry when I stormed out the other day.",
Jerome entered the office.
" Are you talking to me?", he asked Ray.
"Could it be that Dorris did not have any feelings for me. Jerome, Am I losing my charm?,", he asked.
" Pardon?", Jerome asked.
"Tell me, I've I lost my charm?", He asked again.
" You're still as handsome as ever, chairman "
"Could it be that this office work is so stressful that I'm having wrinkles already. I need a mirror. Buy me a mirror. Quick!", Ray commanded.
" You can just....."
"Now!"
"At it", Jerome said and rush out if the office.

Ava sashayed into the cafe that afternoon. She dressed in a mini dress that fitted her well and she had make up on. She sat down before the woman who asked to see her_the woman that happens to be Rays first love.
" Sorry if I kept you waiting.", Ava said and sat down.
Ava had decided before coming that she will use this woman to get rid of Dorris.
"So you're Ray's fiancee. I wanted to see the woman Ray is talking about. Are you worth it?", Harriet asked.
When Ray loved her, she loved someone else and now that the person jilted her, she started loving Ray.
" And are you more worthy or do you think you're worthy?", Ava asked.
"Anyway, it seems you have over-estimated me. I'm Ray's Fiancee but I'm not the woman he talks about. I wish I was as capable as that seductress. The wench had Ray in the palm of her hands. I think she is the real rival here not me. Ray didn't even like me"
Harriet raise her brows.
"Don't be too curious. Let meet here same place same time tomorrow", Ava said. " Let finish our coffee ",
Harriet wondered if Ava is just pulling her legs.
Ava just want to use Harriet to get rid of Dorris. She wants Harriet to do the dirty things for her.

Toby bought wine from the convenience store and decided to go and drink on the rooftop.
On getting to the roof top, he noticed that someone is standing on the edge. Just one slight mistake, the person will die.
Toby knew instantly that the person is trying to commit suicide.
Toby wondered if he should just go so as not to be caught in the suicide scene because he knew depressed people like this are not easily convinced. They've decided to die and they will not listen to anyone asking them not to die.
But when he took a look at the person again, he found out that it is someone he knows. Panic spread fluttering wings.........

Thanks for reading.
Feel free to share your opinions.
I want to hear from the readers.
You can also tell me ideas you think I should add to the story that will make it better.
I know I don't know how to use suspense and I don't give details of some incidences in the book. I'm learning from other writers. I will make corrections soon.
Thanks.
