Our Blooming Love

Chelsie's PovThe kinds of decisions we make at times defines who we are. When these decisions change the course of our lives, I call it destiny. Not knowing what destiny had in stock for me, I stood in front of the beautifully structured mansion and rang the doorbell. I looked around with nostalgia as the sweet fragrance of jasmine and roses filled my nose. It looked at the place I once called home with a heavy heart. I was back home for the first time in two years. I felt hot tears rolled down my eyes as I remembered the circumstances that led to me leaving the house. I quickly wiped my tears and rang the doorbell once again, silently hoping that she would opened the door. It was as if the heavens heard my prayers. The door slowly opened with a creak. She appeared at the door almost immediately. Her expression changed to a sour one on sighting me. I tried hard to fight back the emotions of pains, hurts and anger as I took a good look at her. She didn't change one bit since the la

Kevin's POVThe balcony was a magnificent display of grandeur. The girandole added luster to the interior sets of the balcony. Faint led lights of red and green twinkled from every corner. The floor tiles were made with crystalline limestones and the metallic banisters shone from the reflection of the lit candlesticks. It was past 6pm, the perfect time to have some quiet moments to myself. The day had been very busy for me. From evaluating documents to signing them and to attending the shareholders' meeting in the company. I decided to go straight to my parents' home after work. Granny had come visiting my parents. I always looked forward to seeing her. I got home that afternoon and met her sleeping. I left her alone to enjoy her sleep. Since no other person was at home except the domestic workers, I got bored and headed to the balcony after dinner.The balcony used to be my favourite place in the manor before I got my own apartment and moved out of my family home. The fresh air, t

Kevin's POVI had taken a day off at work to spend some nice times with my folks. Mother and father had gone on their yearly visit to Paris. It was a couple goal for them and they never missed it. They left Los Angeles just a day after Shawn's arrival. Shawn White is my younger brother. He was more like an explicit version of my younger self. He was a nerd who would spend hours exploring the technological world, wearing those big eyeglasses of his. He had just returned from America. He was away for more than a year to further his studies and he finally came back. It was quite an emotional reunion for us all especially Purple, who had been the closest to him in the family. To celebrate the arrival of Shawn, I took Granny, Shawn and Purple on a family picnic. Laurel hotels and resorts belonged to mother. The hotel was surrounded with the hue of nature. It was beautifully defined with forest greens. Laurel hotels and resorts was the kind of place that gave tranquility and calmness to

Chelsie's POVJamie and I woke up very early the next morning to prepare for the day's work. Glen Motion Pictures had texted us the location for the shooting of the movie. All we had to do was to get prepared and go to the location. The location was at a hotel."I still can't believe that I'm going to finally set my eyes on Nadia Grayson." Jamie giggled excitedly in the cab taking us to the location."Lucky you." I responded with indifference.I don't get fascinated by celebrities so I wasn't a fan girl. Obsessing over celebrities wasn't just my thing.Jamie was the exact opposite of me. She would follow up stories of her favorite celebrities- singers, models and actresses alike. She attended concerts, runway shows and a lot of movies premieres and would seize every opportunity to take pictures with them.Jamie playfully gave me a jab in the stomach and looked at me."Ouch! that hurts!" I exclaimed, faking pains. "What did you do that for?"Jamie jabbed me again and laughed. "You don't
