Chapter 145

RATE AND REVIEW

" what are you doing Mr Styles?" She asked after she got off the bed.

" I'm sorry Becks. I have harassed you by claiming you were my girlfriend and it was wrong. I'm sorry" I apologized.

She walked over to her husband and whispered something in his ears before walking back to me.

I looked at the door and saw that Leonard was no longer there.

" It's fine, I bear no grudges against you" she said and I felt joy in my heart for strange reasons.

" Thank you" I said and she smiled. I was so ecstatic that I didn't know when I ran to her and pulled her in a tight embrace. " Thank you Becks, thank you" 

" It's fine" she said and shockingly, she didn't push me away. She let me hug her and she returned the hug. It was so soothing and I immediately withdrew from the hug, only one person had the right to make me in love with a hug and me getting a soothing effect from hugging Becks wasn't right.

'' I'll be on my way now" I said and hurried out of the room. I shut the door behind me and rested on the shut door.

" What the heck was that? " I muttered to myself before rushing down. On my way down, I bumped into a kid who looked like she was five or six.

" I'm sorry" I said and made to leave when she stopped me by her next words.

" Who are you? " She asked.

"  I'm Raymond Styles. I'm the owner of Rayna's love" I said and bent so I was her height.

" Oh. I thought you were some crazy fan of my mum. We get that a lot and that's why we're moving" she said

" Moving? It doesn't look like you're moving" I spoke and looked around the house but I didn't see any thing that indicated they were moving.

" It doesn't seem like because we're not moving any of our things" she said 

" Why is that?" I asked.

" Charity. Mummy believes in charity and so we'll be selling all the important assets and give all our clothes to the poor" she said with a smile on her face.

" Your mummy's very nice" I commended and she led me to the couch.

" Tell me about it. She's the best and she cares a lot about myself and Liv a lot" she said.

" She does? "

" Why else would she make out time for us all the time?" 

" Oh. Well, I wish you the best but I have to go quickly, I have somewhere to be"  I said and got up. I made to leave but stopped at her next words.

" Won't you even get my name? " She asked so sweetly.

" So what's your name?" I asked.

" Patricia, Patricia  Antonio but you can call me Trish. All my friends and loved ones call me Trish" she said.

" Am I your friend? " I asked

" Do you want to be my friend? " She asked sweetly and I couldn't say no. She was just the sweetest there was so how could I not be her friend?

" Of course I am" I told her and she gave me a childish peck on the cheek.

" I give it to all my friends" she said and winked at me.

" Alright then, I'll be on my way" I said and made to leave when she threw a piece of paper at me.

" What was that for? " I asked.

" That's my phone number and beneath is my mum's number" she winked at me a little " you know what to do with it" she replied and ran away cutely.

I shook my head and was about to leave when I heard a familiar voice .

" Won't you say goodbye? " I turned only to see Leonard staring at me with a feigned frown.

" Oh sorry Leonard, I was in a hurry" I said. I had a meeting with a partner and I couldn't miss it for anything.

" Well, you could've said goodbye" 

" Goodbye then" I said, trying hard to leave as fast as I could.

" Alright then, it was a pleasure meeting you. Goodbye" he said and I was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something.

" Leonard" I called.

" Yes?"

" It's my first time here, I don't know my way back" I said.

He chuckled before showing me the way off 

He helped me board a cab and it took me straight home.

.

FEW WEEKS LATER.....

I laid back on my bed, it'd been a stressful day and being at the conference with different world class companies. I got off the bed and took a towel before going into the bathroom and showering.

I'd finally come to terms with the fact that Becks wasn't Ariana and that we could only friends.

Thinking of Becks, I remembered Trish. It was a while since I last spoke to her and I knew she'd be upset. Over the past weeks I'd gotten to know her, I'd grown so attached to her that a single day never passed by without me talking to her but it'd been a week and I hadn't spoken to her because of my current project. I'd tried talking Becks into taking me to see Trish but she wouldn't agree. I guess she was just being protective of her family.

I dialed Trish's number and waited for her to answer.

" Finally you remembered you have a friend right?" She asked and I could notice she was upset about me not having called her in days.

" I'm so sorry Trish. I've being busy with a lot of work" 

" That's not an excuse Mr. You have to make up for not calling me" she spoke.

" Why do I have to make up for it? You have my number so why didn't you try putting a call across to me?" I asked teasingly but I tried my best to hide my chuckle.

"  Why should a six year old like me call you? You're like 50 dude" she said and I burst into laughter.

" 50? I'm not only 50, I'm 95. You're such a silly child" I said.

" Well, you're still taking me out on a treat" she insisted.

" How? I'm broke"

" No you're not. I made research on you and I found out that you're one of America's richest business men so how can you be broke? "  She asked and I shook my head, she'd caught me in the act.

It was not that I didn't want to take her out. The fact was that I was way too busy with work but I couldn't tell her that else she'd fell like I didn't want to hang out with her.

" Why would you make research on me?" I asked.

" Just for fun. It's not like I was barred or anything but guess what.... It came in handy so when are you taking me out on my treat? " She asked sweetly..

I scratched my head, when was I supposed to take this little girl out? I was always busy and I couldn't afford to upset her.

" Why do you need me to take you out? Your parents are millionaires so money isn't a problem"

" Yeah I know that but it's an avenue for me to know you so when are you taking me out? " She asked again. She clearly wasn't backing out so I had to give in.

" I'll let you know alright? "

" Promise? "

" Promise" I assured her.

" Alright then, my favourite cartoon is about to start, bye"

" Bye" I told her and she hung up. She was just so sweet and she made me wish i had a daughter. If only Ariana were alive, maybe we'd have had children.

I kept my phone on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief.
