100 Days With Mr Romero

Emmalia woke up that morning earlier than usual. It was 7am and she goes to her office around 9am on weekdays. With two spare hours, she decided to read a book. Sho showered and remained in bed dressed in a comfortable maxi dress.

Emma could attest to how reading financial books and business materials had helped her in establishing LIA’S. With a cup of coffee beside her bed on the stool nearby, Emma began fiddling the pages of the book she held.

She was in the early pages of the book when her mind drifted to last nights event with Judy and Gideon. She remembered the shocking priceless reaction in their faces the moment had she turned around to face them in the auditorium.

She smiled recalling how Gideon’s jaw suddenly dropped, Judy’s eyeball which kept rolling around her in circles and she giggled remembering how Judy almost fell.

She wish she could get a glimpse of Gideon’s reaction after he and Judy left her in the auditorium. She knew he was still tense and restless especially after her declaration for revenge.

Before allowing her agent to schedule the meeting with them, Emma had really thought about it and mastered her guts. She had promised herself that she will not let out any show of weakness or flow of weak emotions whenever they came in contact with each other. She lowered the book she was holding from her face down to her bust and commended herself for a well displayed act last night.

Emma felt proud of herself but couldn’t deny how seeing Gideon last night for the first time in three years made her feel.

The moment she turned around and her eyes met with Gideon’s, she felt weak but pretended by shifting her eyes away from him turning her attention to Judy.

Throughout the whole period that Gideon kept staring at her like a ghost, she felt her heartbeat racing and her body temperature flared up. She however managed to mask these emotions and acted like a boss.

She placed the book on the stool, laid flat on her bed and began looking up to the chandelier. She thought about Gideon and Judy standing side by side and wondered whether they were together now.

She couldn’t deny the fact that last night at the auditorium, she still felt betrayed by Gideon even though they had parted ways a long time ago. She was infuriated the moment she shifted her gaze from Gideon and fixed it on Judy. Instead, she feigned a smile and walked up to them.

After deciding to come back to New York, Emma was certain that she will one day come face to face with Gideon and she had promised herself to never display any act of weakness when that happened.

She had consoled herself with the fact that she was done with Gideon and his presence before her will mean nothing to her. But she was wrong, last night when Gideon walked into that auditorium with Judy, she felt as if she was sinking. However, she managed to step up and act as if he meant nothing to her.

She loved the way Gideon kept staring at her and how lost he was in her eyes. She knew she mesmerized him last night which was evident in the way he stuttered and how he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Emma adjusted her pillow and tossed to the other side of the bed. She shut her eyes and still thought about Gideon but she wasn’t recounting their little drama last night. She was recollecting the beautiful memories they had in the past.

She remembered how Gideon will wake her up with a morning kiss. Gideon always found kissing her delightful and he will always tell her how magical her lips tastes on his. She inwardly smiled on the thought of that.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She remembered how they exchanged text messages with Gideon when he was at work while she nursed Ryan at home. She will call him in between meetings to tell him how much she missed him.

Back at home, Gideon will always check up on her in the kitchen even though he had no idea about cooking. Then he will lift her up and place her on the kitchen counter. They will share a kiss and she will send him away telling him he was distracting her.

She also thought about how she storms into Gideon’s office with lunch once in a while when he will inform her that he was busy and couldn’t make it home for lunch.

She also remembered their date nights and how they made love on every date night. She recalled how Gideon will whisper sweet nothings into her ears after every intercourse. He will then play with strands of her hair while his breath warmed her face. They will cuddle each other, talk till late night before finally falling asleep.

Emma thought about their un family vacations and parties. She thought about the first time Gideon changed Ryan’s diaper and she giggled on her bed.

She remembered Gideon praising her and adorning her neckline with a gold necklace on their second anniversary. That day, Gideon had promised to be by her side forever and vowed to love her till his last breath.

Emma barely thought about Gideon while in Chicago. She knew these memories of him that she was having on her bed were fueled by their meeting yesterday. She knew her thoughts of him were as a result of them seeing face to face for the first time in three year.

If only Gideon hadn’t betrayed her. She thought then sat up.

Her phone began to ring. Sam was calling her.

“Hello. ” she responded with a smile.

“Hi Emma. ” came his voice.

“How have you been? ” Sam asked her.

“Fine Sam. ” she replied.

“And you? ” she quickly added.

“I’m good Emma. ” responded Sam.

“How’s New York treating you? ” he inquired.

“Sorry I’ve been quite busy. ” he further said.

Emma then went on and told him how she had launched her new bar and is planning on launching more soonest.
