Chapter Seventeen
I walked into the apartment, leaving my shoes on the mat by the door. I pulled a towel off the couch and wiped my sweat.I still had time to get to work, so I decided to first prepare breakfast cause I knew that Gale was coming.
It was hard to sleep last night and I realised that maybe me and Gale needed more space.
I thought about moving back in this apartment for a while but I didn'<
Chapter EighteenI sighed and did a little bit of stretching in my chair, my shoulders hurt and my eyes were blur.I stared at the laptop but I couldn't read anything else, I leaned back and my eyes fell shut.I never intended to stay this long at the office but after what happened between me and Gale in the morning, I felt so frustrated and stressed.I just wanted to bury my self in working so I couldn't think much in to things like I alwa
Chapter NineteenIt's during these moments like these that I think Gale is too understanding for his own good. He had asked me to spend another night away from him only to be sure that I had finally decided to stay by his side.I don't know if I will ever get used to Sarah's presence cause she scares me. I was starting to give up on pleasing her. Gale loved me and that's all that matters, as long as he keeps fighting for me I also won't stop fighting for him.
Chapter TwentyI took a seat in my office chair and looked up at Kenneth, he was staring at me with worry. "Are you sure, you can work today?" He questioned as I leaned back in my chair. I felt a head ache start to rise and my eyes fell shut."Don't worry I will manage " I replied. I realised that I had never got a chance to see this humble and caring side of Kenneth. A slow smile crept on to my face, "I didn't know you had this soft sid
Chapter Twenty OneSpending the night at the orphanage with my mother Pauline helped me a lot, I felt calm and refreshed by the time I got back to work.Truth be told I didn't want to leave her gentle hold yet, I wanted to stay there and listen to her words of wisdom. I just wanted to forget the harsh world around me.When I arrived at the office, I didn't expect today to be the day I would meet Kenneth Carlin Rogers Senior. Yes I had found out he was alive and requested for an appo
Chapter Twenty TwoMr. Rogers stared at me with a bit of affection, it felt like he was trying to read my emotions " I also feel the same way when I think about her " He whispered and I nodded " Please continue " I whispered. Every bit of me was yearning to know more, maybe I will find out who my father is"Pauline came to look for me that day, she went to my parents house where she had worked before and they told her that I had left, She got my address and came looking for me. It was already in the middle of the night and I was surprised to see her with a child at th
Chapter Twenty ThreeWhen I walked in here I thought I was late only to find that Gale himself hadn't arrived yet.He had booked a table at the second floor by the balcony, the view was nice. It felt like I had the map around every sky scraper in the city.But soon I realised that it had been an hour and Gale was no where to be found, the breeze blew hard and I felt goose bumps rise on my skin.I grabbed my phone and dialed his number, waiting patiently I realised his phone was off. I tried again and again, I searc
Chapter Twenty FourI had never been in such situation in all my life, was this how life has got to be for me."Why " Another word escaped my lips, I was still standing at the front of the airport with a bit of hope that maybe Gale would come out at the sound of my voice from this end of the phone.It had been almost five minutes on this call and he still hasn't said a thing, I knew deep inside that he was listening and this gave me hope to say more but what was I to say.I was so empty on words to say, how am I to
Chapter Twenty FiveSitting across Gale like this made me so relieved, I looked down at my cup of coffee then up at him.He was also staring at me waiting for me to start talking, I could see the curiosity in his eyes. Lowering my eyes again, I was willing to explain but I also had questions."What you saw was nothing like what you thought " I whispered faintly. Well I guess I have to start from the beginning."Today I met Mr. Rogers " I whispered, it was now that I realised this day was so long. Looking up at cloc
