Mirabelle's POV
"You're worse than Riley." I groaned glaring at her.
"I'm sorry, I keep telling you oh!" She begged laughing.
"It's not funny." I rolled my eyes. "I'm sure this Martin dude doesn't even exist."
"Okay fine, that's not a lie but I just wanted you to spend more time with him so that you could fetch me some more gist." She explained. "Besides I think I did you a favour though... did I see you two smooching?!"
"NO! Jesus forbid! Heck no!"
"Well...you almost didn't you?" She smirked and i remained silent. "Oh shi-"
"Its not a big deal okay? he's such a jerk too."
"Is it because he has girlfriend?"
"No! And I don't even care about his girlfriend...okay maybe I do because he was almost about to cheat on her with me."
"Babe, I think you need to chill, maybe she's not even his girlfriend." She shrugged and squealed when she nearly tripped over the threshold. I laughed and she rolled her eyes laughing later on as we both left the mall.
"But you called her his girlfriend,"
"No, I didn't."
"You freaking did ah. Stop lying." I giggled.
"Me? When? Don't put words in my mouth." She warned, frowning and that made me laugh more.
"Alright. Call the uber. It's your turn to pay today." I reminded her.
"Please I'm broke." She pouted.
"Ah, Marylove!" I chuckled.
"Oh, it's not funny." She sighed and I stopped laughing when she looked so serious.
"Girl, what's going on?" I asked with seriousness.
"Got you!" She burst laughing cackling and I pushed her lightly giggling.
"Remind me how we're still besties." I sighed.
"Well it's simple. I ain't normal and so are you." she shrugged.
"Hey!" I whined and we laughed.

Why can't I get rid you?
These words kept ringing in my ears as i sat on my bed, going through my various dresses for tomorrow's church service.
Why does Eugene want to get rid of me? How does he know me?
Because unless you're searching for a straight up one night stand, why would you want to kiss someone you barely know?
Who knows...maybe he knows a lot about me...but the question is...how?!
Eugene, who the heck are you? !
Even the way he gently squeezed my hand suggested something. I pressed my face into my pillow and groaned. Ugh this boy!
The sad aspect is that, he's awfully damn. Oh God. His lips were thin and the way he brought me up close was making me so nervous as well. But what if he actually kissed me? And maybe circled his arm around my waist?
That though was interrupted by his girlfriend who came to came to take him away.
"About her, who was she too?" And what did she also know about me?
ugh chill, you ain't a celeb
Oh Eugene! What wrong did I ever do to you? Please let me know so that I can apologise? hmm

I checked myself out for the last time and when I was satisfied, I took my purse to leave. My mom sent me the dress three days ago along with some matching shoes and I decided to wear it for today, completing me a hair up do.
I closed the door behind me and descended the staircase.
"Mirabelle." I head Mimi yell .
"I'm coming!" I responded heading to the foyer because that was where i heard her voice from.
"Dear Lord, why does this girl take ages to get ready?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I begged pursing my lips as I approached her. she scanned my dressing and shook her head smiling.
"I've been feeding you so well. Look at all the hips and the breast you've gained!"
"Aw Mimi." I groaned with my face flushing and she scoffed.
"Let me call the-"
"No need Elvin wants to go with us today."
"He goes to church?!" My eyes widened. Mimi gave me a queer look and I immediate had to reframe my statement. "Uh, I mean he's coming with us?"
"Yes dear." She nodded
So the guy knows God and this is how he's treating me?
"Oh I see."
"Hell be here any-" She was cut off by the sound of a vehicle pulling up.
"Enoch, in case we don't come back on time, there's some paella in the fridge. Don't forget to turn off the microwave after using it." I told him when he appeared where we were. He escorted us to the gate.
My gaze skimmed over he sleek Lamborghini as the owner stepped out in a tux with a pair of ray ban shades on. And my oh my, he looked gorgeous
Gosh I was staring too much
I shook my head slightly and glanced at Mimi who was wriggling her eyes at me. Eugene approached us and removed his shades staring at me briefly before he greeted his mom.
"You good?" He later on addressed me, extending his hand for mine.
"Yes, I am thanks for asking." I smiled allowing him to kiss the back of my hand with those soft lips which nearly pressed on mine yesterday.
"Aww tch! I cant wait to see the baby version of you both!" Mimi squealed
"Mimi!"
"I'm sorry! I couldn't help it." she toothily grinned.
"Don't worry mom, your wish is our command." Eugene winked at me and I rose an eye brow.
He and who's command? Mister?!
"Shall we?"
Eugene wanted his mom to be in front but Mimi wanted me to in front with and I wanted to be with Mimi. In the end Mimi and I took the backseat and Eugene drove.
There was a little bit of silence as he drove away from the house. He adjusted the mirror and our eyes made contact. I glared at him and he smirked making me roll my eyes all under Mimi's nose
"You look mesmerising Mirabelle." He winked at me again and blood rushed into my cheeks
"Thank you, you don't look bad yourself." I responded smiling and he chuckled.
"Young people and flirting...hmm" Mimi sighed and we all laughed lightly.
