Meant to Be

No relation.

Myra woke up in the morning feeling like she had been beaten the whole night, her throat was dry, she swallowed hard turning to the man whom she had spent the whole night with at the hotel. she sat up in bed my eyes fixed on him the man she wanted last night.

“Hello, it’s time for me to leave,” she said shaking his shoulders, he groaned turning his head and went on sleeping.

“Excuse me!  I said I need to leave,” She said to him uncovering his body, she always made sure that before she leaves a man’s house his awake so that there no misunderstandings

“Hey, if you need money just check in my wallet,” He said to her and she scoffed brushing her hair behind her phone rang and she rushed to pick it up

“Hello?” She picked up, coming out of bed picking up her clothes from the floor

Myra’s POV

“Myra, where are you? I have been calling you for 3 hours ago” She said to me and as I quickly put on my clothes

“Sorry I overslept, talk to me,” I said grabbing my heels and purse making my way out of the house

“Well, I wanted to chat with you but you sound like you are not fully awake, so call me up when you are done,” She said to me as I cut the call.

I rushed out of the building, hailing for a cab and made my way home.” Where are we going, Miss?” The driver asked me,

I gave him the address and he turned to look at me before driving off taking me home I arrived at the house and gave him his money before I got out. I pulled my dress down before I went inside the yard, the house was about 10 meters away from the gate and you had to walk through the pathway which had flowers along with it. I opened the door and I was welcomed by a huge foyer. I walked inside the house and I found my parents and young sister having breakfast in the dining room

“Good Morning!” I greeted them before I went to my room, I never expected their reply so I just went on acting like everything is fine

I went to my room locking myself and going to take a shower when I was done, I dried myself up before getting in bed sleeping. I needed my sleep with all the partying that happened, I woke up hours later and checked the time it was already 2 pm. I rubbed my eyes calling Vivian

“Hello?” She picked up, “Where are you?” I asked her as I dragged myself out of bed to prepare clothes, I will wear today

“Am at the wine house with dad, is this when you are waking up?” She asked me,

“What time are you finishing that side?  You said you wanted to chat?” I asked her as I finally picked shorts, a crop top and heels.

“Well, there’s a party tonight. And guess what?” she excitedly said to me

“What?” I said looking at my clothes

“Well, trying guessing?” She said wanting to play the guessing game with me

“You finally managed to get me Christian’s number?” I asked her as I sat down on the bed

“Not really, Tom will be there and you know what that means….” She said laughing at the end of the call, I couldn’t believe that she was being real right now.

“Terry?” I asked her my heart starting to beat fast, I couldn’t believe that the man I have been crushing on and wishing to meet him

“Bingo! He’s coming with Tom so get ready” She said, I almost screamed out of excitement.

“Great, what time should I meet you? I need to find proper things right now” I asked her and she laughed, “Let’s meet at 7, am sure you can catch a cab, right?” She asked me and I nodded my head.

I quickly cut the call looking at my closet trying to decide what to wear, A knock came following with the door opening. “Do you have a minute?” My mother asked me but I simply ignored her walking away, I didn’t want to waste my breath talking to her.

“Myra, when are you ever going to talk to me? Look at you? You come home at whatever time you feel like coming and leave without saying anything, you haven’t even eaten anything.” She said to me, honestly, I was tired of always hearing the same thing coming out of my mother’s mouth

“And who’s to blame for that?” I asked her looking into her eyes as she shook her head closing her eyes, I scoffed going on with checking the dress I planned on wearing

“Myra…” She called me trying to touch me, “Let go of me!” I yelled at her freeing myself from her as I stood at a distance

‘Please don’t ruin my mood, you made your choice! So, let me go on living like I have no parents” I said to her grabbing my dress and the few things I planned on carrying packing them in my backpack.

“Myra please, I am your mother…. Just please…” She wanted to say but I had already left the bedroom for her, I rushed downstairs walking past father before I went to the road looking for a taxi.

Memories started coming back but I quickly brushed it off getting in the cab, I arrived at Tasha’s House and got out of the car, I pressed the intercom waiting for a response.

“Hello?” The maid answered, I quickly pressed on it. “Evelyn It’s me,” I said and she knew it was me, I saw the gate open and I rushed in, going to meet Tasha.

“Hello Mrs Newman,” I said greeting her as I stood looking around to see if Tasha was anywhere close by. She simply ignored me and walked away; I purse my lips together before I swallowed hard. The woman hated me because of how I dressed and I honestly didn’t care.

I made my way out of the living room going to Tasha’s room and I found her trying to decide what she will wear.

“Hey? What are you doing here?’ She asked getting surprised that less than an hour ago I was home

“Mom happened,” I said throwing myself on the bed, “Oh!” She said without saying anything more

“Still have decided what to wear?” I asked her as she went on throwing things out, “No, and nothing interests me…. I think I should go and get something else” She said playing with a finger on her chin

“Do you think I still have enough time to do that?” She asked me and I quickly checked the time and we had about three hours.

“If we leave now you can find something! And hopefully, go straight to the event’ I said to her as she sighed heavily looking at me while biting her lower lip

“that sounds great! Let’s go!” She said rushing to her purse and car cars, I got off the bed and she looked at me from head to toe.

“Are you really thinking of going like that?” She asked me as I looked at my clothes. I saw nothing wrong with it but she was looking at me like I was naked

“Why don’t you wear just some jeans then it can work,” she said making me raise my eyebrows

“Come on! We both know some shops they won’t allow us to enter if you go there like this” She said, upon hearing that I turned and waited for her to give me one of her jeans. When I changed, we left the house but I still insisted on wearing the same Crop top.

We went around trying to pick her dress, I kept looking at different dresses wondering how I would look like in them.

“That’s a perfect dress for you” I heard a deep husky voice said behind me, I turned around looking at the man before me.  I gasped looking at him, He had deep blue eyes and a straight face which made him look more handsome

“You….” I said remembering his face as a smiled curled up his lips. God, what was happening to me? Why was he such a distraction for me?
