Amaya:

"Did you see Rory's face when he ran out of the dining room? I think we can get him soon!" Michelle giggles beside me as she picks a cute little green gown and hand it to the lady assisting her shopping. I just smile at her. She looks so excited while I'm kind of freaking out. Breakfast event was still playing on and on in my head.
"You did great by the way . Keep up with the body contact." She says.
"Are you sure about this? He didn't seem to like me touching him." The only time we've been intimate play in my head. Even then, he didn't want me to touch him.
"Trust me, Amaya. Rory is too stoic. He needs to losing up lots." I laugh awkwardly.
"Do you like him? Your marriage was all sudden and all. I find it weird but I guess Rory always does whatever he wants when he likes something. Or someone in this case." She points to me. I nod slowly. He sure doesn't act like he wants me much though.
"What do you think he wants in this context?" I ask.
"Companionship I guess. He lost someone he held dear. He probably wants happiness." She says thoughtfully.
"Someone he loves? You said he has no family."
"Yeah. He doesn't." She says quietly

. My mind try to connect the dots.
"Was it another woman?!" I exclaim and Michelle cringe. She doesn't reply and I know I'm spot on.
"He got dumped and then he married me? What happened? Wait, who's the woman? Was she at the wedding? Does he still love her?" I ramble on. Michelle has to stop and pat my shoulders to get me to be silent.
"It's in the past. It doesn't matter. What we should be concerned about is how to make Rory show his heart. You with me?" I nod relunctantly. It doesn't seem like she's going to tell me who the woman is.
"Good. I want to get you both a wedding present. Let's go to the night wear section. Come on." She takes my hand and pull me away from the children's section of the mall. I walk fasten to keep up pace with her. She finally lets go of my hand once we get there.
"Yes! This one!" She says excitedly. She pull a tiny flimsy material that's supposed to be a dress and place it against my front. She nods satisfactorily, I shake my head in disagreement.
"Come on! It's gorgeous." She pouts.
"My ass would hang out." I exclaim. She giggles before and slap my arm lightly in humor.
"That's the point. Let Rory see what he married." She grins. I can't help but blush.
"He didn't marry my ass. Wearing this to bed will be like sleeping naked!" I protest. She appraise my thoughtfully.
"You are right." She finally says. I visibly sag in relief.
"You should just sleep naked. No need for the night wear." She starts to put the dress back on the hanger but I grab it in a flash.
"No! I'll wear it." I hug the dress to my chest while Michelle laughs her head off. It's my turn to pout.
"Just trust me." She says.
"A matching set for her husband as well." Michelle says to the sales attendant. The woman who must know Michelle is an important customer runs out to get it.
"I've laughed so hard I've got to pee." Michelle says as soon as we're alone.
"The ladies room shouldn't be far. I'll wait for you." I assure her.
"You sure? You should just come with me. I don't want to leave you lonely." She says.
"One of us has to be here when the sales attendant comes back with what you asked for. Go on. I'll be here." I smile reassuringly.
"You have a point. I'll be right back." She says and hurry away. I take the time to study the dress I'm supposed to wear at night for my husband. I can almost see through the material. I'm so lost in thoughts that I don't notice someone coming my way until she collide with me. Everything I'm holding slips out of my hand to the floor.
"Im sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry. I was on the phone and didn't see you there." The woman apologizes profusely. We both squat to gather our things from the floor.
"It's fine." I assure her when she continues to apologize, making me feel uncomfortable. I quickly grab my things and help the lady up.
"Thank you." She smiles at me and I wave it off as nothing before she walks on. I watch her go before turning back to watch for Michelle's arrival. I don't see her coming but instead, I notice a security guard and the woman who just bumped into me. They're looking at while the woman point at me. My brows furrows in confusion. I brush my skirt awkwardly and turn away from their prying stares. Where's Michelle or the sales attendant?
"Ma'am?" The manly voice​ behind me for some unknown reason makes me stiffen. I feel uneasy. I nervously turn around. It's the security guard. The woman is nowhere to be found though.
"How can I help you?" I ask.
"I'm sorry but I'll have to check your bag." He says in a bored voice that does nothing to slow my rapidly accelerating heat beat.
"Why?! What's going on?!" I hold my back firmly to my chest.
"A woman just reported that she saw you stealing a gold wrist watch from that glass display." My mouth hit the ground in surprise.
"What?! No. I didn't even notice the display there! I didn't take any wrist watch!" I ramble on.
"Then you won't mind my checking your bag right? It's just procedure." He says. I nod slowly. People are watching and I don't want this to get to my father. I slowly hand my bag over to the man.
"There's nothing in there. You obviously have the wrong pers--" my words hang in my mouth when a golden watch is retrieved from my bag. My heart practically falls to my feet.
"Wh--wh--what's that doing in my bag?"
"Ma'am I'm afraid you will have to come with us to the police station."
"No! This is a misunderstanding. I I-- oh God." Tears spring in my ears as panic gives way for helplessness. I can't get arrested. What would my father do? And Rory! Where's Michelle?!
"She's a thief!" I hear someone exclaim from beside us. People are whispering to one another. They are pointing at me. I want the ground to open up and swallow me. The security guard grab my arm harshly and I yelp in pain. He doesn't let up his hold.
"Please. I don't know anything about that." I cry.
"Did the watch magically fall into my bag then?" The guard mock.
"Yes! I mean no, but--"
"Just shut up. A woman would just dress up in the morning to steal. What's the world turning into?!" A man sneer from behind us. My head starts spinning.
"Stop. I'll pay for the watch. I can't get arrested." I say weakly. This gets to the security who stops dragging me.
"You'll pay?" He looks surprised. I nod.
"How much is it?" I ask.
"N78,000." A sales attendant calls from the side. I nod. That's nothing.
"You guys have a POS machine right?" The sales attendant brings one to me. With the possibility of my clearing this mess.
"I'll just get my card." I say as I open my bag to search for my purse. I can't find it! I search again.

Read " Intoxicated Romance " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. I'm crying now. Oh God why is this happening to me now? Michelle where are you?!
"Stop wasting our time. Sir, take her away. She's clearly a thief." The sales attendant hiss.
"No! Wait! My purse was just here. Something's wrong here." I protest but this time, the guard doesn't stop. He continues to pull me out of the night wear section of the mall. Somebody help me!
"Let that woman go right this instant!" An unfamiliar voice orders and I'm suddenly released. I turn around to see a stunning woman match towards us.
"Ma, I--" a sudden slap shut the security guard and my eyes bulge out. Who's this woman and what's happening?


Hey guys
I must admit, the views and comments, certainly not encouraging. It's supposed to be two episodes every day but I guess I'm no longer inspired to post more. It's exam period but I just wanted to finish Rory's story like you guys demanded but I might just drop this soon with the way this is going.
Bye-ya
