Chapter 29
Alita's eyes searched the bed for her phone. It must have gotten lost in the action. She spread her fingers on the bed and moved her hand around feeling for her phone. After a few frustrating swipes and hovers on the bed, she found her phone, double-tapped the screen and the screen lit up. She saw the time and felt her heart skip a beat. It was past the time she normally leaves with about two hours. She hissed and threw the phone away, her eyes followed it to see where it landed because she didn't want to look for it again.
She usually called Sarah to tell her she wasn't coming home so she knew Sarah would be wondering why she wasn't home yet. Alita hadn't planned to but the only reasonable thing to do was a sleepover at Benson's and not go home.
She was dazed about what had just happened and her usual over analytic self was preying on her at the moment.She didn't know whether to feel bad or not abou

Benson didn’t see Alita’s text until he was already at work and on his way to the boardroom for a meeting with his board of directors. He just saw her name pop up on his screen and thought it wise not to read it so he could preserve his sanity for the meeting.He managed to keep his mind from wandering into wondering what the content of the text was until after the meeting. As soon as he was settled down in his office, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and swiped up to unlock it. His heart raced when he saw the first words in the text before tapping on the notification to open the message.As he read it, his heart sank. It was exactly as he feared. She was now avoiding him. He knew he shouldn’t have done what he did. He should have left and he really wanted to but his body screamed at him and kept him still, standing there and watching her. He could only barely remember some parts of what had happened but he did remembe

Alita hated herself for keeping the truth from Sarah but she had no choice. It dawned on her that she hadn't told Sarah right from the onset. Things were complicated now. She kept telling herself that she didn't lie. After all, withholding the truth is not exactly lying, is it?She was in tears of different pain than the shallow tale she told Sarah. Yes, she wanted to know if he truly liked her, and yes she was falling for him too but the circumstance had taken a thicker hide. She wanted to ride the waves like she naturally does but it all happened suddenly.She wore her headphone and played her favorite playlist of sad songs until she fell asleep.Sarah came back and met her fast asleep. She checked around and found that Alita hadn't had anything to eat but morning coffee. She went to the kitchen to prepare something for them to eat. She was confused about which fry dish to make and

32"Where has she gone to," Benson muttered as he parked in his garage.He knew she had blocked and it bothered him. He feared she wouldn't come back. He'd not be surprised if she did. It would be typical of her. She was different from all the women he had had. They always wanted more either because of his enormous cock or his money. But Sarah was different. He knew she could decide to stay away from him for what he did.He felt helpless whenever he thought about it. If he had been a tad bit more responsible, everything would be normal. But he was helpless and not in control of himself. He blamed what happened on the alcohol that he took but deep down he knew he wanted to have her badly. He also knew the chances that the same 5hjnh would happen if he wasn't drunk were very high. He felt disappointed in himself self. Like, he had refused so many women in the last, some of which were named in front

“You know you are going to have to get up and go to work, right?” Sarah said as she picked up her bag and headed out to the door. “For Julie's sake, don’t be a bitch or you have drugged your heart to sleep with your sedatives, then you must go. As much as I feel you, I can’t allow you to make little Julie suffer because you can’t face a man you are having a crush on. After all, you are not sure he digs you,” Sarah glared at Alita and then hung her head and walked up, banging the door closed behind her.The sound of the door startled Alita. She reluctantly got off the bed and dragged her feet to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and her face contorted. Her eyes drooped and were red like she spent the night swimming in alcohol, her cheek was puff, you could say swollen. She picked up her brush and put more toothpaste than she normally would. As she brushed her teeth, she pictured meeting Benson

34.Benson finally said it off his chest. He finally brought himself down to give a title to the feeling he that had been there brooding in his heart. He suddenly felt certainty wave over the cognizance of his infatuation.A lot of the things Luke said the previous day inspired the conclusion but Benson wouldn’t admit it. He was naturally that proud.“You can’t anybody though,” He growled at Luke. “Not even Sarah,” his brows creased and his jaw tightened. He jolted off his chair and leaned forward, spreading his fingers on the table. Luke leaned backward pulling and pushing his chair with him. “I swear if a word of this gets out somehow, I will throw you down from the room of this building,” he wiped his hand over his face and leaned off the table. “Why did I even say that to you?”“I don’t, man. Now I wish you didn’t,” Luke sighed. “It

“I am not coming home tonight because I have an appointment tomorrow with a group of firms that are going to sign a merger and then as one company, they’d sign over half their shares to me,” Benson pocketed his hand and simpered. “Just in case you were wondering, it would take about sixteen hours from here to Melbourne, Australia. If I live by 2 pm this afternoon, I will get there by 7 am and then attend the meeting by 8 am and I would be back by midnight, so you have to stay with Julie until I am back.” Alita blinked as she took in the news. Before she could say anything, he continued, “Thanks, I will see you soon,” He walked out the door firmly holding a briefcase in one hand and pocketing the other. He was kicking a fitted tuxedo with peak lapels, rocking a diamond bow tie. Alita thought it a sexy, macho look but kept it to herself. As she watched him leave, she ignorantly bit her lips at him. She internally schooled herself when she realized herself. She had about two days alo

36.Alita was quite the metal head when she was a little girl. She took that from her dad. He was a very curious and adventurously daring man. He always wanted to do what everyone wouldn’t do just to prove that anybody could do what they wanted to do and also earn a name for himself after he does. He was both a car and motor cross racer. Alita worshipped him. He thought of her all she knew about cars and bikes. The parts, how to drive a car to win a race, and how to ride on the front lines.Mr. Martinez was a big shot in his time until he dies in a terrible accident in a league car race. It was this tragedy that made Alita fold into the calm and enduring woman she had grown into. She believed he was untouchable and couldn’t get hurt even though he sustained a lot of injuries. He always came back to the race track and continued to rule. When he died, she lost all courage and bravery to face life with her fist raised high as he thought her t

Benson reached Melbourne right about the time he expected he would. He went straight to the hotel that he had booked beforehand to take a shower and relax a little. After having a refreshing bath, he sat by the window taking in the view of the city. He phoned Alita to check up on her and Julie. “Hey, Alita,” he smiled. “Good morning, sir…” Alita said sounding nervous. “How are you and my little angel?” Benson rose from the chair he sat and walked closer to the side of the wall where it was all glass. He had chosen that room, particularly for the view and also because he was at the edge of the building where he was sure fewer people hung around. “Yes, we are okay,” Alita said. “Julie is asleep,” she added.“Right,” He nodded and pocketed his hand. “I miss you guys already,” he bit his lips as he glanced downward. He could see the roofs of other buildings around the hotel. Alita was quiet for a second before answering, saying, “Not that you were always around when you were here bu
