Maureen smiled and looked at John.
“Its been 9 years, John… 9 years”
“Haven’t you ever seen a guy who liked a girl for 17 years?”
“What?”
“Well, they were…She was his childhood crush”
“That dumb. Why didn’t the guy tell the girl he had a crush on her?” She queried.
“He did”
“Hmm”
“Just like I did”
Maureen faced him.
“So, what do you expect me to do now?” She asked, senselessly.
“Date me…”
“You keep saying this”
“I guess it never fades” He forced a sad smile.
At that moment, John phone rang and he checked it. It was Desmond.
“Desmond” John smiled.
“Don’t tell him I’m here. He will think I’m lurking around you or something. As if coming to Germany with you wasn’t enough” She swallowed.
John blinked, confusedly.
“He won’t even ask”
Maureen shot him a glare and he cleared his throat dramatically before accepting the call. It was a video call.
“What’s up, Desmond?” John smiled.
“Hey bro” Desmond smiled back.
“Is Maureen there?” Desmond suddenly threw the least question anyone could ever think of..
“Huh?” John muttered and glanced at Maureen who kept shaking her head.
“No, why?” John muttered.
“Its just…your face looks bright than usual. You keep this look whenever she’s around. Anyways, It’s good. Just be bright and cool…always”
John smiled nervously.
“Anyways, guess what?” Desmond smiled, broadly.
Maureen eyes widened and she faced John.
“Prisca has given birth!” He said, quickly.
“Nope” Desmond chuckled.
“Hmm…You became the CEO?”
“Hell no!, You know what, Lemme just spill the milk”
“Yeah please. Cut to the chase”
“Whitney…is here”
“What!!!!” Maureen suddenly shouted and ran to the screen.
“Are you kidding me??” Desmond scoffed, already freaked out cause of the way she had screamed.
“You said Maureen wasn’t there” He added.
“He lied” She said, abruptly and John gave a ‘what???’ look.
“What did you just say? Whitney?” Maureen said.
“Yeah. She works at the bank I direct-
Maureen gasped.
“The…the season bank I know?”
Desmond smiled and nodded.
“Fate huh?”
Maureen just smirked.
“So, how did it happen??”
“I came early to the bank today than usual with the CEO’s secretary. Minutes later, I saw her with a little kid and when I asked, she said he wanted to pee. I swear, just a glimpse of him and I saw the full version of Jayden!”
“Wow” John muttered.
“I beckoned to him and after questioning him, I concluded he was Jayden’s child. Whitney’s baby. I found Whitney searching for him. You know, Whitney never change and even from behind, she still looked the same”
“Have you told Jayden?”
Desmond sighed deeply and shook his head.
“But I’ve told my wife. She’s on her way”
“Hold on, I’m getting a call”
“Wait. Can I see them? Whitney and…little Jayden?” Maureen muttered, teary-eyed.
“Hold on. Its Prisca. You know how crazy she can be if I don’t pick her call now. I’ll call you right back” Desmond said, and ended the video call.
John smiled and looked at Maureen.
“Are you crying right now?” He asked, scanning her face.
She sniffed, and rubbed her eyes.
“No, I am not”
“Yes, you are”
“Go away” She nudged him, leaving.
“Maureen?” He called but she didn’t stop.
“Maureen! Wanna follow me on a date to Germany?” He quickly said, and she stooped suddenly.
She slowly turned to him.
“I’ll follow you on the date to Germany” She answered and he smiled. The tears finally slide down her eyes.

“Michael! Can you stop roaming around?? This is clearly why I never supported having you around with me today. You should have stayed with Mum at home! So much for a sick guy that said he doesn’t wanna go to school” Whitney spat.
“Mum, I never Told you I’m sick” Michael said, cutely.
“Huh?, but mum said…
“I’m love sick, Mum. Love sick and I ain’t going to school till Scarlett picks my call” He said.
Whitney scanned her son from head to toe.
“What kinda kid is this?”
“I’m handsome huh?” He played with his front full hair.
“Nope, ya ugly. So…ugly. Hewww”
“Then, you fell in love with an ugly guy, heww”
Whitney gave him a snarl and smacked his head.
“Awwwnnn…Mummmm” He Mõ@ned.
Desmond quickly turned to Whitney.
“Whitney!” He quickly said.
Whitney looked at him.
“Hmm?” She muttered.
His eyes were misty and red already.
“Help me,,, please” He muttered and Whitney quickly got on her feet.
C&N SUPER MALL*US@
This gigantic and rich endowed shopping mall has about 54 branches in the whole of USA, and still counting.
It’s owned by one of the most wealthiest and sweetest couple who has been married for 5 years now and blessed with twin girls, Georgia and Georgina.
You wouldn’t ask about C&N without getting answers in the US and even abroad.
C&N is the abbreviation for Clark and Natalie. Yes, she kept her promise and came back to him. Their love was much more than even the former. She was even able to clear her father name till there was no worries and holes.
These couple are a big name in the USA. They made it big there…
When Natalie was still heavily pregnant that year, she was called to be the face of a one- pregnant woman health magazine.
Clark also is almost like a celebrity. He has been receiving lots of enforcement deals from different brands.
Maybe cause his handsomeness, s*xiness and bravery is from another level?
He had once saved a cute poodle from getting smashed by the subway train.
He saved people stuck in the elevator and even a young girl from drowning.
Everyone knows Clark indeed.

“Clark!!!” Natalie quickly entered his huge office.
“Yes baby gold” He smiled at her.
“I just received a message from Maureen”
“You did??. I just received one from John and was about to come to you” Clark said.
Natalie came closer.
“This is good news, right?”
Clark sighed and scratched his head.
“I guess. As for Jayden, He is….
