Chapter 87: Chapter 87

As promised, Barbara and Gordon had the tour, he had picked her from Grandpa Jarius villa and drove all the way to the resort, getting there, they move from one place to another, they were having a nice view, the scenery is admiring, Barbara keep taking him round the place and having a small talk that involves only describing the place.

Gordon too didn't say anything concerning Barbara and Dante's relationship, he is aware that is a sensitive matter. He is waiting for the perfect opportunity to have the conversation.

Here, I thought of bringing it along? He stretch the mango juice in his hand for her.

Thank, this happened to be my favorite. She gulp all of it in one go, Gordon look at him. Sorry...

It's fine, I thought all women like to put up an act in front of men, playing coy.

Hm! Been shy is not my thing when it come to food, I love food. She said heartily, Gordon watch the beauty In front of him. She look like some celebrity, with those perfect legs of hers that is exposed with those nice sandals on her feet is really something appealing to the eyes.

You are really very beautiful and sexy. Gordon compliment her, she raised her eyes and look at him.

Stop flattering.

I am not flattering you, you really very beautiful and sexy, every man who set his eyes on you, will be ready to fall hopelessly for you. Gordon smiled wide as he sincerely compliment her.

Thanks, it's unfortunate that the other part of your compliment, I might not believe it. Gordon stared at her speechless. Yes, he didn't fall hopelessly in love me.

Gordon watch her expression, he was glad that Barbara was the one who brought the topic, he was thinking how he is going to start the conversation, when it comes to starting conversation that doesn't involve business is difficult for him.

She is really down, she must really love Dante deeply even for a short period of time.

Barbara!

Oh please, don't pity me, it's all my fault, I deserve whatever treatment he measure out to me, I was the one who keeps forcing my love on him, even after seeing the handwriting on the wall that he will never reciprocate his love for her. I was carried away with his affection hoping he did all those things because he love me. She sighed. I would had prepared my heart for it.

No one prepare heart for the pain that will come with it, love happen and we forget every other thing that might come in the way.

I guess you are right. Barbara look at him. Do you think, he will ever accept me? Gordon look at her, she is still in love with him, he wondered if love is like that, making you forget yourself and ready to accept others shortcomings, forgive freely the one person that break your heart.

I can't say, I am not him but what I know for a fact is that, no man can stop loving you.

Barbara smiled hearing the last part of his words.

Maybe, I should had been truthful to him right from the onset.

You don't want to tell a man you love him right from the first day you met, when you don't?

Who said so? I love him from the first kiss, even though he is naughty and insolent. Barbara blush as she talked about Dante, Gordon watch the naughty Barbara blush badly as they continue to have the tour while talking more about Dante, she keeps describing Dante few personality that she had witness, Gordon search his brain, everything he is hearing from Barbara about Dante is different from the picture he had about Dante.

Barbara was really free with him, it felt that she and Gordon connected differently from every other boy, she had close to herself.

Hey Gordon, come over here. Barbara pulled him to the pool side, the place by the pool look like the beach setting, Gordon smiling as he feel that he is really at the beach side, feeling the sand under his feet.

Whoa! This resort is really beautiful than the one in our city, your dad must had spend a fortune to get this indoor beach in form of pool.

He is not my dad. Gordon look at her, as she inhale loud, feeling the sand under her feet. I am just his adopted daughter that is the reason, mother doesn't love me, Claudia is their only heir.

Come over here! Gordon beckoned her, she smiled brightly then hurry to him to feel the breeze, the specular few is mind-blowing, she is loving it, then her tummy growl, she held her tummy, Gordon laughed at her actions, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Come on, we should grab a quick bite.

Really?

Yes, I too I am hungry, I was carried away with the atmosphere that i lost track of time, so let's go.

Before long, they have two glasses of fruit juice in front of them, with a little chop to suppress the beast In Barbara's tummy.

They eat in silence, Gordon noticed that, this might not be what Barbara need now. After the tour he drop her off at her grandfather's resident.

****

Barbara was shock to see Jeffrey at her grandfather's villa, as soon as Gordon drop her.

Jeff! What are you doing here?

To see my stubborn friend.

Oh, that is so thoughtful of you, I missed you. Barbara hugged Jeffrey. Really? Jeffrey asked with his eyes running around her.

Of cause, I missed you, I really did but I understand that you very busy, I don't want to bothered you with your busy schedule as the youngest CEO of Tian's group.

Barbara, are you sure, you don't have new friend now?

Of cause, I don't, come on in. Barbara pulled him into the villa. Kathleen was here few days back, you needed to see the naughty girl, she was heart broken, our baby had finally fall in love with someone, I needed to see that stupid boy that dare to break my best friend heart.

So who is the boy that drop you? The butler drop juice for Barbara and her guest. Jeffrey is eager to know, he can't believe that Barbara is keeping another male friend again.

Oh that, you remember the young man that bash my cars? Jeffrey nodded. Coincidentally, we met here, so he asked that I take him on the tour in the resort, it was fun, did you know that, he is fun to be with, he is very friendly? I never thought that he could be friendly and I plan of going to visit him at his guest house not after introducing him to grandpa Jarius.

Why is that? He sip on his drink as he asked.

I am sure grandpa only want to see the young man, I am making friend with, he doesn't want what happen between me and Dante to repeat itself

Talking about Dante, are you not going to sue him?

For what? Barbara asked in shock.

For hurting you and bring that video...

No oh! I don't want him to get in a scandal. Jeffrey look at her.

I thought you hate him now or are you still in love with him?

I do not hate him, but I no longer love him.

So...

Jeffrey stop it, let's talk about something else, you just arrived, you should care for your baby. Barbara sit in his legs while caressing his face, Jeffrey smiled inwardly. Kathleen dad is having a party, please attend with her, since I will not be there. Barbara doesn't want to continue with the conversation, Jeffrey closed his eyes, Barbara still long for Dante, he is not going to let her continue in this foolishness, she call love, even if he is doing to do worse for him to keep her all to himself, he will do it. He is not letting Barbara pick another again.
