Contract husband

” No I do not mind at all ma’am.”

” Ok…. So therapy section is over.”

” Yes that brings us to the visitation aspect…. So tell me,….. how do you find your new job?” He asked cheerfully.

She smiled.

” It’s cool…. I get to meet new patients on a daily basis and attend to some kind of sensitive cases….. Although I find it quite challenging because of my busy schedules, coupled with the traffic I face on my way home….. I have to use a taxi most times because Ashley’s office is quite different from my route so it’s quite difficult for her to come pick me up.” Zoey said.

” Hmm…. So sorry about that…. But if you don’t mind, I could come pick you up…. Luckily for you, my company is not too far from here.” He replied.

Her eyes brightened.

” Really!!…. I will be really glad if you do…. Thanks so much Stan…. I really appreciate this.” She replied happily.

He gave her a warm smile.

” You are welcomed ma’am….. I have to rush back to my office now….. what time do you close so I could come pick you?” he asked her.

” I close by 5pm.”

” Alright…. That tallies with my closing time too.”

” Thanks so much Stan…. You just brought a great deal of relief to me.”

” You are welcomed ma’am.” He said and rose to his feet to leave.

” See you in a couple of hours.” He said and walked to the door.

” Stan” She said in more like a whisper.

He turned.

” I was wondering if you would like to accompany me this weekend to a birthday party….. Ashley invited me and I’ll like some company.” She asked pleadingly.

He shrugged.

” I will add that to my list of schedule.”

She smiled broadly.

” Thanks once again Stan.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He nodded.

” Goodbye.” He whispered and left.

Richard highlighted from his car, at the front of Kimberly; his daughter’s school. Kimberly had just began her entry into the secondary school and was full of enthusiasm. Her little sister; Nelly, was still In the primary section in a completely different location from the secondary. His wife had called him earlier on to inform him that she was stuck in traffic on the way from the market. And so he had to pick the kids from school.

He had just returned from picking Nelly, so he had to stop by at Kimberly’s school as well.

His phone beeped and a message entered. He clicked on the message icon and smiled. It was a message from his newly found lover. They had only been together for two weeks and yet he was already liking the vibes she showed. They met at a shopping mall downtown, and it had been from one romantic dinner to the other, they had also spent a few nights together.

Her name is Judith and she had the charisma that intrigued him to his bones. Although he sensed she was dangerous, but he didn’t mind. He was dangerous too and no woman dared cross him. Besides, he wouldn’t be keeping her for long.

“Just a few nights more and he is done.” He thought as rubbed his hand on his chin.

” Daddy!!…. look at Kimberly!!” Nelly called out to him from inside the car.

He lifted his gaze and saw Kimberly trotting towards him with her class teacher by her side.

” Daddy!!….” Kimberly shouted happily and hugged her father.

” How are you dear?” he asked her as he patted her back.

” I’m fine daddy!”

The class teacher greeted Richard cheerfully, and he left with his daughter.

Jade was the first to arrive for Omar’s birthday. She came holding a sizeable rounded cake in her hands.

” Cheers to the birthday girl!!” She announced happily as soon as she sighted Omar.

Omar chuckled as she came down the stairs in her blue dinner gown. She gushed and embraced her husband’s cousin.

” it’s your special day today dear…. And I’m wishing you a happy birthday.”

” Thanks Jade.” Omar beamed.

” Hmm!…. You look damn good, rocking that gown!…. and you’ve pretty much added a few more pounds since I last saw you…. This means my cousin is doing a good job in taking care of his baby!!” Jade remarked.

Omar gushed.

” Oh thanks Jade…. The cake is beautiful.” She said softly, collecting the cake from Jade

The door opened immediately and Ife, accompanied by Judith and Ashley, ushered in the Trumpeter, who expertly blew the trumpet in the happy birthday melody, while everyone sang along.

” Happy birthday to the queen bee herself!!” Judith and Ashley chorused together and pulled Omar into an hug.

” You look blazing hot like fire!!” Ashley added, beckoning her to turn around and she did.

” Thanks so much my dear friends…. And thanks for showing up for my birthday.” Omar appreciated them.

” Come on Omar we are your friends… therefore it’s our primary duty to be here!!…. Infact, my younger sister should be on her way here anytime soon. She needed to attend an important meeting today at the clinic. That is why she didn’t come with us… but she’ll be here as soon as she finishes from work.”

Ashley said cheerfully.

” Oh… I can’t wait to meet your sister Barbie!!…” Omar replied excitedly.

As this was going on, the door bell chimed and Ife went to open it.

It was Binta who entered, holding a gift bag in her hands.

” Happy birthday ma’am…. I wish you a life of sound health and prosperity.” Binta said, beaming with a smile on her face.

Omar embraced her happily.
