TORNS OF THORN2
who would have thought that I would get to this stage of my life where i can look back and see my achievements. Who would have thought I could be happy once again despite the challenges and problems life threw at me? here i am bouncing back, renewed and better than ever but my heart holds one fear the fear that bounds my heart to the chains of insecurity. The fear of loosing my hard earned joy and success.

Tabby fashion house was my proof of success after the incident with my pretense mother. Sam had enrolled me in a fashion school which I attended for a year before proceeding to the polytechnic to further my studies in fashion designing. After my diploma, I worked with various fashion house and gained the experience and fund I needed to open a fashion house.
"Excuse me Ma! there's a woman at the reception who would like to see you" Tina my secretary announced.
"Does she have an appointment?" I enquired closing the ledger before me and concentrating squarely on my secretary.
"No ma! but she says it's urgent she meets you today because she would be flying out of the country at noon. I also learnt she is the CEO of classic boutique"
"Lady k? " I asked in bewilderment.
"Yes ma!" This was a shock to me. Although Tabby Fashion had began to make a name for herself in the market yet there were some well known fashion houses and boutique among of which was classic boutique an elite boutique owned by Lady k.
"Let her in after 5minute" I directed dismissively as I rearranged the files on my desk and did a double check on my corporate blue gown outfit to make sure I was presentable.
At exactly 5 minutes Lady k walked in majestically and I couldn't but envy her gorgeous kaftan outfit which spoke of wealth. She was a plus size but a beautiful one. She smiled at me as she introduced herself and her mission, I couldn't but help take a likening to her as she was jovial than I expected compared to other business owners that I have had an encounter with who were always so formal and treated you like a brat who they feel shouldn't be in their circus.
"Since we are both on the same page Tabitha! I guess I can as well give you the statement of the contract so you can go through the terms and conditions" Lady k said.
"Alright ma" I replied as I watched her take out her Samsung phone and made a call through to someone.
"Sorry dear! Left the contract in my car you know how you forget things when you are preparing to travel" She said apologetically. Some minutes later a young handsome man strolled into my office he didn't even bother to knock on the door nor acknowledge my presence he just went straight to Lady k and gave her the file he was holding. I watched in disdain and contempt as he pecked her very close to her mouth and caressed her neck as he whispered into her ears and from Lady K's burst of laughter I knew it was funny. I felt so irritated and knew instantly he was a jigolo.
"What a shame" I muttered as I wondered why an handsome young man like him was a jigolo. "Couldn't men just be responsible?"I thought. Lady K despite all her makeover should be old enough to be his mother yet this didn't occur to him or repulse him just because of the money.
All this shouldn't be my concern but his snubbish attitude drew me to him. I gave him a look over once again. He was dark with beards and wore a T-shirt on pair of a jeans. He was tall and muscular and could be taken for a model.
"Maybe he was one" I thought. He smiled at her once again and I couldn't help but notice those cute dimples which made him more handsome.
Handsome!" What was wrong with me? I wondered giving myself a mental shake and shaking my head in attempt to clear the thoughs of the rude fellow before me. I picked my pen and began tapping it on the table to bring the lovebirds back to the present and back to business.
"Oh so sorry dear! don't mind my boy here he got me distracted for a while and pardon my manners Tabitha meet Kay m..." She stopped short as he gave a signal and made a quick exit.
"Pardon his rudeness my dear he meant no disrespect" She apologized smiling and beaming with obvious joy.
"She must really be into that jerk" I muttered.
"Pardon?"
"Oh nothing ma! would go through the contracts and get back to you ASAP" I said as she dropped the file on my table and stood to leave.
"Would be expecting a feed back from you soon. Nice to meet you Tabitha! and lest I forget I love your dress."
"Thanks ma! Have a safe flight" I said as she left me to my thoughts about the rude fine young man.
************************************************************************************
"Excuse me! Am here to see Lady K" I announced as I offered myself a seat as I knew the rude guy before me wouldn't.
"What's he doing in her office in the first place" I thought. As I watched the jigolo before me sitting comfortably like he owned the world. He had been busy on the laptop since I entered and had not looked up since then.
"Hello!" I said in undisguised irritation. He looked up and fixed those beautiful eyes on me I couldn't but help acknowledge the fact that he was handsome.
"She's not on seat as you can see but she would be back in a bit" He responded rudely.
"I don't have all day maybe you should try putting a call through to her" I suggested.
" Don't you have her mobile contact?" He asked with his face back on his laptop.
"Are you this rude?" I asked glaring at him as I couldn't take anymore of his snobbish behavior. He looked at me in astonishment like i had grown two heads.
"Excuse me?"
"Yeah! You heard me correctly. You are absolutely rude and outrightly snobbish. What is it with you? is it because you feel you are handsome or because you are dating one of the Glam Mamas in town?" I lashed at him while giving him a scornful and demeaning look.
"Wait a minute...w..? " He stopped in mid sentence as LadyK entered into the office.
"Tabitha! Am deeply sorry for keeping you waiting had to attend the board meeting" She said as she took the seat beside me.
"Alright ma! Just came to drop this document, have signed the contract and we would start making the designs as soon as we get the money" I said handing the file over to her.
" Oh very good! would transfer the money as agreed this afternoon. Pardon my lateness once again, let me introduce you to that naughty boy over there. That is Kay my one and only son!"
"Son?" I queried in disbelief as I watched his lips thin into a smile with a smug grin on his face.
"Yeah. And Kay meet Tabitha our new partner. She is a really talented and creative fashion designer"
"Oh really? We have met already before you arrived and I can say she is really articulative" He said looking at me directly, isn't it Tabby?" He asked sarcastically and I wished I could find a way to wipe that smug grin off his face.
