Love Current: An Ocean of Love

"I love him looking this hot!"

Mara was lost in ecstasy flipping through the pages of a book she held on her palm as she watched the pictures of her last visit to the beach with Henry Martin her sweet darling boyfriend and fiancé to be in quite a few days from now.

She barely noticed him standing beside her, who was distracted on getting to reach for her shoulders by a picture rail so beautiful on the wall next to a painting. Martin loves painting so bad he can do anything and pay anything to get more to embellish his home.

The door swung open, and an average looking grey headed man with a husky voice walked in majestically, disrupting their freedom and attention to whatever it was they were doing. Putting down his briefcase on the floor close to the wooden desk built to support a standing mirror beside the door house, he took off his eyeglasses and...

"Are all preparations ready for the evening banquet?" he said eloquently with much sense of pride and arrogance as if he was created to be pompous. .

"Oh, yeah; Dad, I didn't know you were going to make it for the toast tonight" Henry his son replied.

"Come on! Son, you know I will be the last person on your list to break a promise"

"What's so special about tonight that you Sir, happen to drop all your appointment to show up, or am I the only one who does not know what is going on?" Mara asked inquisitively as she turned to look at the two most important men in her life for as long as she has known herself to live in vietnam city.

"Come on Mara, you know my Dad loves huge parties? There's nothing going on tonight so special to make you keep a worried face, it's just the usual party you know" Henry muttered drawing near to her being unable to resist her beautiful looks after having spent a lot of time with her.

"Okay you got me. So what are we toasting to?" She inquired, having this made up grin show up on her face.

"Oh, I think my Dad knows best!" Henry responded without thinking twice and gave her a kiss on her cheek which made her recall the last time she felt his smooth wet lips in her tongue some hours ago.

"Oh yeah, am proud of you son!" Martin exclaimed.

Mr. Martin, is a prominent wealthy man at his late fifties, an accomplished business tycoon and a mayor in Vietnam who lost his wife and is doing everything possible to enable his son get married to a girl he admires more than any other, her attributes so well pleasing to him, he sees his late wives features in her.

"You say that a lot Dad, am beginning to feel my ego rise" Henry responded

"You're welcome" Martin added as he walked past the dining room into the kitchen.

Henry picked up the keys to his car, and about walking away from the spot Mara was sitting to go outside when Mara recalled what she wanted to let him know minutes earlier before Mr. Martin came in.

"That reminds me sweetheart; I am planning on visiting home next week and will love you to come with me"

"Next week? That will be great; I would love to go with you but you see, am having a conference of which I will be speaking. Am sorry, I may not make it next week with you sweetheart."

"You always do this when it has to do with getting to meet my family which is not fair!" She said almost crying so he could feel her pain.

"Oh, not now, not again, we talked about this right? We are going to see your family next month before the wedding preparations okay!" he sounded convincingly as he walked back to pet her.

"Get going now, you are such a bad boy" Mara screamed happily as she pushed him away slowly so he could let go of her waist.

"Alright, but promise me you will look good tonight and keep a smiley face just for me the entire night not having to worry about anything at all. I wouldn't bear seeing you disheartened in front of my guests tonight."

"I promise a billion and more. Get going!" she replied with a smile.

The door banged as he exited the room and the silence returned again. Mara never seem to know what it was that she felt at the moment.

Everything done in the Martin's house is classy and no one except the elite can adapt to such lifestyle, it takes more than education to fit in, because wealth was a lifestyle in their bloodline.

How did Mara get to be with the elite class? She was no where close to the billionaire's class before now; at least, not until she met Henry in High School who was so not good at taking care of himself unless his mom was to be around. His friends made jest of him then until Mara came along and they both found a connection with each other.

Henry paid the bills and funded her school works while she looked after him in every way a mother can. And when he was done with high school - leaving her at third grade - his mum passed on. This made Henry become fond of Mara in the later time.

The more his father Martin drew close to know more about Mara, the more comfortable he got to approve her to be with his son. Her qualities were exceptional and surpassing comparison to any other girl that ever related with his family: this gave Mara a great deal of honor, worthy of her person.

Mr. Martin lavished wealth on her so much that no one will notice she was nothing close to a high class citizen. Whatsoever she wanted that money can buy, she got them even before she wished for it to arrive at the time she imagined.

Mara now lives in the luxury of a billionaire Mayor, what more can she desire of all the treasures of happiness when everything she needed had already been provided. However, Mara needed more than what life presented to her at the moment, she was in deep search for attention, for something beyond the norm. As for Mara, she trust Henry will give her just what she seek, maybe with time; and she never hoped for anything more than Henry who she fell in love with from High School days.

She gentle rubbed her palm on her shoulders as she walked around the house on folded arm. Not less than half an hour, she returned to the chair she was sitting and would have picked up the book which gave her a little comfort and strength to ignore her feelings, when suddenly her phone alarm started ringing, reminding her it was time to get herself ready for the night party, but then, she was numb about going... She never knew why, but deep down, we felt something isn't right and soon discovered the answer when the phone rang...
