Anita’s Voice: Behind the Headlines

Chapter 39: Fake Call

Kate smirked.

So much indeed. She thought.

Kate thought of how to react, but just decided to play smart just like the way he has been doing for her. She couldn’t let him see that she was already down.

“Can you come see me?” he asked.

Her eyes widened in surprise. She instantly forgot about all her worries.

“I will come. Text me your address.” she replied with a cheeky smile.

“Ni, you don’t have to stress. I will send someone to you. Don’t worry dear.” he replied.

“Okay I will send my address to you now.” she said and quickly texted Anita’s address to him.

“Received. Expect my driver.”

“Okay love.”

Kate git up for a cool shower after the call. By the time she was done, Anita had already made breakfast.

“You should eat.”

“No no, my cab is already here and waiting. Enjoy sweetie.” she replied and kissed Anita on the cheek before finding her way out.

Anita shook her head.

Anyways, she was not going to stop her. Kate deserved to be loved and that was her belief.

Looking at the food that she had cooked and served, she wondered who was going to eat it.

Picking up her phone, she called Andre and invited him for breakfast.

Andre never expected that there would be a day that Anita would willingly invite him for breakfast.

“How was your night?” he asked starting straight into her eyes.

“It was good. How are you?” she asked.

“I am well.” he replied.

He was trying to wrap his head around the fact that he was alone with a woman he secretly admires.

Like knowing what was on his mind, she explained.

“I want to thank you for always being by my side at the most crucial moments. Thank you so much. By the way, Kate is with her man. That’s in case you are wondering where she is.”

Andre didn’t know what to reply and he couldn’t really tell what he was thinking, but he knew he was happy.

After eating, Andre went to her sitting room to chill as he watched the television.

Anita joined him soon.

“I should leave now.” he looked at Anita and said.

“It’s fine. Thank you for taking your time to honour my invite.

“It’s okay. Anything for you.”

“Yea” Anita replied with her head facing the floor.

“Anita!” Andre called out as he tried to make her look at him.

“Let go Andre” She responded, making sure her face was far away from him.

“I really don’t need to explain so much about how I feel about you, because I know you are aware even though you try to convince yourself that it’s a lie.”

“Andre please don’t. You can’t do that now. I am in a relationship. Thomas has been faithful and loyal to me, I won’t be the one to make my relationship to crash. I care about Thomas.”

“But he doesn’t care about you. You should let him go.”

“Pfft! Please Andre, don’t start.” she responded and made her way to her room as she shut it hard.

After some time, Andre fixed up his shirt and made his way to the four, but upon reaching the four, he stopped.

One thing he had to avoid was to ensure that he doesn’t leave Anita’s apartment on a bad note.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Anita! Let’s speak!” he called out.

Anita was already in the process of having her siesta since she had no much work to do today. The little age gas didn’t require her to be present at the Media home.

“Shit! I caused this.” she muttered and opened the door to speak to him.

“Anita we shouldn’t end things on a bad note. I am sorry to bring up that topic. I crossed my limit. Please forgive me.” he told her as he walked slowly towards her.

“It’s alright. I understand.” her squeezed forehead softened at that point.

“How do you let me know that you completely understand and have forgiven me?” he asked her as he spread his hands like inviting her for a hug.

Without hesitation, she made her way and hugged him for sometime and smiled.

“We are good now.”

Andre couldn’t be happier and in some minutes, he made his way out of her apartment while she went back into her room with smiles on her face as she dozed off on the bed.

At the other side of the City was Kate in a very luxurious building as she toured the home with Liam holding her hand, her mouth widened in awe of what she was seeing.

“She has seen beautiful homes, but this one felt out of the world. She had no idea that her man was filthy rich and if she never came around, she would never have known.

“Your home is super beautiful. It makes me wonder what else you do if not that you are an officer if the law.” she spoke in excitement.

Liam froze at the sudden question that felt like it was coming his way.

He hated answering such personal questions, but he had no choice but to think if what to say and be mentally prepared before she could ask the exact question.

“I made you some food. Let’s go inside so you can eat okay. The home is so big that you can’t view every single corner at once.” he said to her in hopes that she n no longer ask.

“Alright. I feel a bit tired and hungry though.” she replied. He then took her in.

When Kate saw the kinds of meals that were arranged on the table, she froze.

“Is there a party going on honey?” she asked in amazement.

“You and I are celebrating our love. I feel really blessed to have you in my life Kate.” he told her, telling her sweet words to make her feel good.

Kate felt butterflies roaming around her belly as she sat down, ready to devour the foods at her front.
