    "Petr! What on earth are you doing here?!" Dierdre screamed at the top of her voice, shock overtaking her at the thought of Petr seeing her naked. She used her small palms to cover her breasts and shut her spread thighs praying he had not seen anything down there. As for her breasts, she was sure he had gotten a very good view.

   He turned back to answer her but was rendered temporarily blind when she threw water on his face. "Don't look at me!" She screamed again watching as he immediately turned back. She rushed out of the bath tub still making sure he wasn't looking and rushing to dry herself before wrapping the super short towel around herself.

  Before now, she had not bothered considering her housemate but right now she was extra conscious if the fact that the towel just stopped right below her butt.

   "Diedre?! Diedre! Where are you?!" Sophie's worried voice was headed right towards them!

   Petr turned towards her." What the hell are you going to tell her?!" He whisper yelled.

  She placed her hands on her hips but then her towel started slipping and she reached back up to hold it." What do you mean by that? I'm not doing anything wrong! You're the one who saw me naked!"

   He threw his hands up in frustration. "Well what do you want me to say? She's almost here!"

    Diedre palmed her forehead in frustration. "Okay, we'll tell her -"

  "Diedre? Is that you?" Sophie appeared at the backyard taking in the scene before her then she turned to Diedre with a huge smile on her face. "Oh, Diedre." She gasped." Why didn't you tell me?"

   Diedre looked at Petr  confused but he just shrugged. "Tell you what?"

   "Oh I'm so happy." Tears actually fell from her eyes." I was beginning to get worried. Nothing gives me more joy than knowing you are now dating. And not just anyone but sweet Petr here. At least now I can be rest assured that when I leave you won't be alone." More years feel from her eyes.

   Petr's eyes flew to Sophie's face. "Hold on, Sophie. This is a misunderstanding. You see ... um ... what actually happened was that ... um...well, Diedre was-"

  "Did you say it'll make you happy if I date Petr?" Diedre cut in as she saw Sophie's face crumple at Petr's words.

  Sophie's face turned hopeful again." Yes, yes, oh nothing else could bring me more joy. "

  Diedre worried her lower lip. Sophie had been there for her ever since they had met. She had always put Diedre's needs before her own and treated her like her own grandchild. Her eyes went to Petr's which looked lost at the situation taken place right now.

  "Well, the truth is, we are dating. We just didn't know how to tell you cuz we weren't sure how you'll react but now that you said it will make you happy, I don't there any point in hiding it." When she was done, she smiled at Sophie hoping she believed her. Then she looked at Petr who looked like he was frozen in place. "Right, Petr?"

  It took him a few moments to recover." Um...yeah. Diedre is such a wonderful lady, and it may seem fast but I've never been more sure of any thing more in my life." He turned on his charming smile for Sophie." You don't mind, do you Sophie?"

   Sophie actually blushed." Of course not, maybe I would have if I was sixty years younger. But you have my blessings. Make sure you ruffle her up a little, she's too organized for her own good." She wrinkled her nose at Diedre who rolled her eyes. She liked things done a certain way, what was wrong with that?!

  "Sure thing, Sophie. I'll ruffle her for you real good." He turned and winked at Diedre as heat covered her entire face.

   Sophie clapped her hands excitedly." Good! Good! Diedre darling, I got the pasta recipe you wanted from Mrs. Godwin. Why don't you dress up and come prepare it. I'm sure Petr wouldn't mind." She smiled at Petr.

  "Oh, you spoil me so much, Soph but who am I to say no? Of course, I'll join you especially if it's Diedre that's cooking." He smiled at Diedre's blushing face.

   "Come on now, Petr. Let's give the girl some privacy."

   "Okay." He started wheeling him self to the front door but then turned to face her his eyes running along her body as if trying to keep it in his memory." See you later, sweetheart."

Hello, loves!

So so sorry for leaving you guys hanging but I don't repret it. Wattpad was really distracting me but I'm glad I left it alone and focused on my studies.

   But now that I'm back, I don't feel excited about it anymore. It's like all the romance books I read lately are just focusing on one "type" of females and I am sick and tired of reading shit like when the guys are like "I don't get why any man will want to date a slim girl, there is nothing to hold on to and she looks like I could break her." I actually read that in a book. But then the curvy girls are the ideal women. I don't seem to get why just bcos pple think models don't eat, den every female who is not curvy is seen as someone who doesn't eat. I eat like a pig and still slim.

I hate it when I read nonsense like that. If you prefer curvy women, then fine just don't write shit about other women just because they are not curvy. And if you the author is curvy, that's why you prefer it, great. Just don't write shit about girls dat are not curvy because I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone wrote from the male's POV that," I don't like chubby women, I'm not sure I could lift her up on our wedding day."

I love all figures and I try my best to show love to all shapes and sizes even the curvy one although I'm nowhere near curvy and I'll appreciate it if we the slim ones were not insulted in romance books just because our body is different.

  I've been seeing this in romance books in and out of wattpad  and even on relationship quotes online and I'm not going to lie, it  really brought down my self confidence in my body. I just wish we can write about women of different shapes and sizes without making the other shapes and sizes feel lower.

God bless.
