Must Read: Forever And Always

“To your first time in Dubai and your upcoming sweet twenty-six!” I said, raising my glass. She smiled and clinked her glass with mine.

“To an amazing day with you” she said, looking at my surprise flared eyes as I bumped my glass into hers happily.

As we drank our wine, there was only one thing on my mind.

‘Today is the best day of my entire existence.
This day will forever hold a special place in my heart, for it’s the first day I truly saw her happiness at its peak. It’s a perfect day”[/B]

After a long while of taking selfies, we journeyed back to our hotel and rested on the bed. Tola’s phone buzzed loudly.

“Who is that?” I asked, my gaze fixed on her phone.

“Ermm.. Its Mitch” she said.

“I see you two are getting along”
“Yeah. Really Alex, she is not so bad. In fact she is a true definition of a nice person. We spent the last weekend together and I really enjoyed her company. She took me for a shopping spree and that was when I knew she is generous to a fault. Don’t use her past to judge her. Everyone has a past.”

“Mitch won’t be more than just a person I happened to know. She can’t be my friend because she is yours so drop it please” I sternly said, gritting my teeth as I cuddled the pillow tighter and took in the view of the room again. Expensive-looking white quilts adorned the bed and golden coloured pillows were scattered evenly across.

There was a modern arm chair at one end of the room. Plush redwine rug graced the spotless tiles. Exquisite and intricate paintings adorned the walls and a big chandelier suspended down the ceiling.

“Alex. You still haven’t told me why she is not in jail if truly she killed Kate like you said” “Tola, do you know the position her dad holds in this country? The day it happened, she called her boys to dispose off Kate’s body. I couldn’t even give her a befitting burial. Mitch threatened to implicate me if I attempted to do anything about it. And she had enough evidences to put me behind bars.
