S4-Chapter 159

Author: Maria Anita
Patrick’s POV

After the meeting at Flavian's house, I went home. I was tired, but also anxious and couldn't sleep. I kept pacing around the house, tried to watch something on TV, but nothing held my attention. I went to bed, but her scent on the pillow made me even more anxious, and I only found a bit of peace in her closet, with the photo album open to the picture we took the day I gave it to her. She was smiling and the way she looked at me made it clear that she loved me, and it was the certainty of that love that calmed and comforted me.

In the morning, I left home determined. I would get on my knees, beg, ask for forgiveness a million times, but I wouldn't lose her, not like this, not at all! I called the driver to take me to Melissa's house. I wasn't in the right state of mind to drive and needed to think, even more than I had already thought all night.

During the drive, I thought of millions of things to say to her, thought of various ways to prove to her how much I loved her an

    Melissa’s POVIt had been a long time since Fernando had surprised me, and this one was truly special. I had been wanting to come to this place for ages. The temperature was really mild and I was wearing a light summer dress, so Fernando kept me under his arm, close to him, and checked us in quickly.We were taken to our room and I was amazed by what I saw. It was a huge suite with an inviting sofa near the fireplace, a jacuzzi, and a beautiful balcony overlooking all that greenery. On the bed was a basket with chocolates and wine, and a flower arrangement on the table by the door. I picked up the card and read: "May our weekend be as special as you are to me every day." He thought of the details, and that enchanted me."Do you like it?" He hugged me from behind and whispered in my ear."Very much! You really know how to apologize." I joked, and he tensed up a bit."Good, because I really do need to apologize." He took my hand and pulled me to sit on the sofa."What did you do, Fernand

    Fernando’s POVIt was three-thirty in the morning when I printed the last page of that report I shouldn't have been working on, but it felt like I had been trapped in that office for days. Jennifer hadn't shut up for even a second, and my head was throbbing. Even though I had completely ignored what she was saying, it was still like a buzzing in my ear.I sent a copy of the report to my email, paid careful attention while shutting down the computer, activated the monitoring software, and blocked all access until Monday, no one would touch that machine without me. After having work stolen in college, I had learned to keep my computer protected. It had become a habit, and knowing the company's IT staff, setting up the protections was easy. I left the printed copies on Boris's desk and grabbed my briefcase."What are you doing?" Jennifer asked as I picked up my briefcase."Leaving," I answered, already tired of her."But we haven't reviewed the report! You can't go," she complained."Want

    Melissa’s POVI was arriving home when I received Fernando's message, he was going to work late again. I was starting to worry this would become our new routine. I got out of the car, not even irritated anymore, just tired. When I entered the elevator lobby, I ran into Giovanna and Rafael."Mel!" Giovanna gave me a tight hug. I relaxed with her spontaneity; a sincere hug always made me feel better."Hi, Gia!" She let me go and I saw Rafael watching us with a smile. "Hi, Rafa, how are you?""Hi, Mel. I'm good, and you?" Rafael was always smiling, seeming to never have a problem, even raising a teenage daughter on his own."Everything's great. So, Gia, has the teacher graded the test yet?" I was curious about my little student's progress."I was going to call you, look here." Giovanna took her backpack off and pulled out the test folded in half. "I'm out of the red!""Oh, I'm so proud!" I gave her another hug. "Let me see."I took the test and we entered the elevator. She had done well,

    Fernando’s POVWhat a hellish week! I didn’t know what got into Boris's head to leave me working late all week doing his job while his sister stuck to me like gum. This was already wearing me out. But I had heard there would be a promotion in the department and I had my eye on it, maybe that way I could get rid of Boris and Jennifer? And things would go back to normal with Melissa, who had been acting pretty strange.I was sitting on the company terrace looking for some silence and peace when my cell phone rang. It was Enzo, Henry's nephew. A good kid! I answered the call cheerfully."Well, what a surprise! It's been ages, Enzo!""Hi, Fred. Can I steal your attention for a few minutes?" he asked."Of course, what do you need?" I asked."Tips, my friend, tips on how to handle my first time with my girlfriend," Enzo surprised me."I can't believe it! Finally?" Enzo's relationship was sweet, he adored his girlfriend, they had been together for a long time and it seemed like they would be

    Melissa’s POVBy Friday, I was already irritated, even though the week had started well, or rather, had gone well for two days. The rest of the days Fernando came home so late that I should have been asleep. I wasn't, but I pretended to be because I was annoyed. What kind of job was this?It had never been like this before. He had been at the company for years and had never stayed at work until late at night, never had to work on a Saturday night. This was very wrong, but when I brought it up, I was the nag who didn't understand it was his job, who was seeing things that weren't there; basically, he always had an excuse ready. But he promised me a weekend, and I wanted to see if he would keep his word."Hi, Mel!" Enzo poked his head into my office."Hi, handsome! I haven't forgotten you owe me lunch." I looked at the boy, he was already a young man, eighteen years old. Time really did fly."Yeah, Monday I got tied up and had to cancel on you, and the rest of the week was kind of compli

    Melissa’s POVI woke up with Fernando possessively wrapped around me. His arms held me tight against his body, and I had to untangle them from me to get up."Stay here, Mel!" he grumbled, still drowsy."I can't, I need to go to the bathroom." I got up and rushed to the bathroom, really needing to go.Anyway, as much as I wanted to stay in bed a little longer, it was already time to get ready for work, so I headed for the shower.It didn't take long for him to follow me in, running his hands over my shoulders and taking the soap from my hands to start lathering me up. He paid attention to every little part of my body, and I let him pamper me.But my stomach growled. We had gotten lost in the moment the night before and went to sleep without dinner, so I woke up starving."I left you hungry, little bee." He laughed against my neck."It was worth it!" I admitted."Want to grab breakfast somewhere?" he offered."No, I'd rather eat here and enjoy a little more of this Fred who's full of lov
