Black Coffee (Tara's Dream)|Dearest Diary, - Book 1 (unedited)

Chapter Eleven.

Dearest diary,

I'm so sorry, I know it's been a while, but in my defense, I have been extremely busy.

First there's been work and then there is that great fact that business has been booming lately. Of course, I would never complain about that, but like David, I am beginning to entertain the thought of quitting my other day job. I even mentioned it to one of my bosses, just the other day and let me tell you, he was not pleased. I would bore you with the details, but I am a little bit squeezed for time and I have to pick this call.

Until later,

Love ☆ALD☆

"So, Attarah, have you made up your mind?" My cousin's voice reaches me after I swipe the screen to receive his call.

"Yes Caleb. Despite what you've all told me, I'll not sue. This has dragged on long enough and I just want to have some peace and to move on with my life." I reply, thoughtfully, my dream is still fresh in my mind and even though I am not scared of Monica, I know that such a case might drag and drag for years and I hardly have the time or patience for that kind of thing.

"Okay, then. We will try to wrap things up and be on our way home at the earliest opportunity. Oh, and before I forget, if I were you, I'd prepare myself for anything. Troy has been asking a lot of questions and I believe that he may be on his way to you, right now as we speak."

"Is he now?" I ask, a frown marring my features.

"Yes. He's curious about that information we hid from him. Somehow, I get this vibe that he is hurt because you chose not to trust him."

"I have my reasons." I reply scratching my head in frustration. No matter how hard I try to avoid it, drama seems to follow me everywhere.

"Anyway, I have to go now." Caleb tells me and I nod.

"We'll talk later." I reply. With that I hang up my phone still digesting that new piece of information.

"Troy is coming". I muse to myself. "I guess I'll have to wait and see how this plays out. Right Lord?"  I think directing it to my Creator. For now, He does not respond and with a heavy sigh, I drag myself out of bed and begin to prepare for work. Tomorrow, I have this big meeting with a client and I want to be ready when I face them.

"Who was that?"

Instead of answering me, David stows his phone away blushing furiously.

"Okay...Now I am interested." I respond putting my bag away. We are at our new company offices and I have just arrived from work to check on some last minute details of an Avocado shipment.

"Okay... I am getting married."

My jaw drops to the ground and I stare at David with shocked eyes.

"Don't act so surprised. My life is not all work and work." He jokes.

"I am sure it's not, but why have I never met her?"

He smiles at me sheepishly and my frown grows deeper.

"Who? Who is it? Is it Aoko?"

"No, hapana..." he replies with a laugh before adding. "Ni Lydia."

For the second time today my eyes grow wide and a huge smile forms on my face.

"OMG! This is gold!" After that I start rumbling and to say that David is flabbergusted would be an understatement.
