I watch Marcus’s lips part in surprise as he saw me step out of my car in front of the hospital. The band were scheduled to perform there for the little children in the paediatric wing. We wanted to bring Christmas to them since they can’t go out themselves to experience it. Also, to give them a little gift, spend time with them and show them some love.
“I thought your parent were coming for Christmas” he asked as he walked towards me
“Lost a family member few days ago, so they couldn’t make the trip” I replied
“Oh my God! Are you okay?”
“Yeah, where are the others?”
“Inside, setting up the eqiup...”
“Then, let join them” I stated and stride into the hospital with Marcus behind me
I looked at myself inside the mirror in Marcus’s guest room to admire myself. He is hosting the others and I for Christmas dinner. After we had a fantastic time with the kids at the hospital, I came back to his house to help prepare for the dinner and also, I can’t go back home after the performance without Alice asking me where I was going.
I was not prepared to answer her questions. I know she tried her best to get Kylian to come spend Christmas today but I am not going spend Christmas in a foul mood, so I left the house before any of them woke up
I adjusted the brooch on my $5,000 slim sleeved, sliver Armani gown and properly set my 12 inches black bow straight over my shoulder.
Never in my life would I thought I would wear a gown worth millions of naira but here I am doing that. I usually call people who do that wasteful.
I should feel guilty for being a hypocrite but I can't because I look at myself in the mirror and I fucking love the woman I am seeing.
So confident!
And beaming with life
I wore my heels and walked out of the room. I moved toward the direction of Marcus's voice and the moment I entered the dining room, all mouth exclaims in amazement at the sight of me including that of Marcus. I smiled to him and the chefs he invited for tonight’s dinner
“You looked beautiful” he complimented and I swear I was blushing.
“Thank you” I replied softly, then the bell rings
“That must be Joy and the other… come, let go welcome them” He held out his hand to me
I smiled and placed my hand in his. He opened the door wide for ecstatic Joy, happy Fatima, excited Adebayo and indifferent Abdul. Fatima was in a lovely jumpsuit while Joy adorned herself in a sleeveless gown. The guys were dressed casually including Marcus
“Merry Christmas!” Fatima and Joy yelled
“I could swear we said that to each other already” Marcus retorted with a bright smile on his face as we exchanged greetings. Then, Abdul looked at me in astonishment
“You looked beautiful, Bewaji” Abdul complimented me
“Yeah, she does” Marcus chipped in as he looked at with a soft look. Then, he closed the door behind them
“Thank you”
“Wait guys” Joy stopped the others from walking away “Can you guys see what I am seeing?” she continued after she had every body ’s attention
“You mean how they look good together” Fatima stated
“What!” Marcus exclaimed
“Come on, you should look at you two, welcoming us together like a couple” Adebayo interjected
