  Xander.
      &quot;When is my next schedule?&quot; I asked my new personal assistant who was on the other end of the line.
      &quot;Sir, you have to see the kids at the orphanage at 4pm and that will be all for the day.&quot; Thank God!
      &quot;Ok, did Bri clear her cheque?&quot;
      &quot;Who, sir?&quot;
      &quot;Bri. I mean my twin sister, miss Reynolds.&quot;
      &quot;Yes, she did. Not herself though. Her assistant, Jerry did.&quot;
      &quot;Ok, thanks. I'd be stepping out in a few. You can leave afterwards.&quot;
      &quot;Oh, thank you, sir.&quot; She replied and I ended the call.
      'It's time. Get ready. Robert will be home to pick you.' I sent the message to Nichole.
      'Ok.' She replied the message which brought a smile to my face. I really can't believe how much of good friends we've become. She is a nice girl. I find myself getting drawn to her.
  

  &quot;Are you happy?&quot; Dad asked me with a soft smile.
      &quot;Yes, dad. I'm very happy.&quot; And I wasn't lying this time. I'm indeed very happy. Xander has been nothing but a good husband and friend, always making me happy and my feelings for him keep intensifying everyday. My handsome crush.
      &quot;Its so obvious from her face.&quot; Micky replies while smiling at me.
      &quot;Good! I'm happy if you are, baby.&quot; He said as he wrapped me in a warm hug.
      Xander left for Germany last week on official duties and I was at home with only Maria accompanying me but yesterday, she had to leave to visit her daughter in Houston.
      Maria has a beautiful daughter, Ellen. She had just given birth to a lovely baby boy so Maria had to go over to help her take care of her baby. From the look of things, Maria might not be coming back anytime soon.

      Boredom and loneliness.
      Two words that are now a part of my everyday life. I'm so lonely. Being home alone ain't fun. Since we returned from Maldives, nothing fun has happened.
      Five days. Five freaking days since we returned and I do the same thing everyday. Wake up, eat, chat a little with Maria, reading novels till noon, eat lunch, watch TV shows till late at night. Eat dinner and to bed again. This process, I repeat everyday.
      Five days since Xander and I talked. Well, six. If that night counts. He leaves for work before I wake up and arrives only after I've slept. Five days since he...
      He hasn't even made any attempt to apologize. How dare he? Such a egoistic man. I hate him. I'm being considerate because of Zachary. Zac.
      He apologised on his behalf but ofcourse, I didn't accept it but agreed when he implored me to listen to him when he t
