“Hello?” His voice echoed through the phone after answering the call, unsure like he wasn't certain I had actually called.

“Are you available?” My voice was calm, contradicting my hitched breath and how I internally scolded myself for actually calling him.

“Yes?” There was no doubting his surprise by the call.

“I want to get a drink, and I don't want to do so alone, so… will you meet me at the Holm’s bar?”

“Really? I mean, yeah. Yeah, of course I will.” From the sound of it, he was picking his keys, seeming on the way.

So I hung up, drawing in a deep breath.

Gosh, that might be stupid, but I really needed someone to talk to at the moment.

To clear my thoughts more, I decided to take the twenty five minute stroll to the bar, not at all tired when I got there.

Dale was already waiting, so I sauntered over to where he sat, slipping to the chair beside him.

No words were spoken.

He didn't push me to talk. Didn't ask anything.

Instead, poured a glass of alcohol, dropping it in front of m

    ~ Chloe ~I had stayed with a conflicted thought since Emery left, but Kanyin had called to let me know I had some work to complete. Especially for some partnering companies, and needed to be available.Which was what made me take a shower, brush my teeth then put on a white shirt tucked in a black tummy jean trousers, with a dark colored parka jacket.Donald was one reason I didn't leave yet. I wasn't going to be dropping him home or in the hands of any baby sitter, because Emery had made it clear from the beginning that she didn't want one.And as she was already mad at me, I didn't want to add to that by breaching her personal preferences.My plan was to take Donald with me when she walked in, her hair a complete mess, cheeks wet and colored from obvious crying.She looked miserable. Eyes swollen, nose reddened, ears a shade of pink, lips huge in tears.The green gown she had on didn't help matters the least.My heart ached at the sight and I rushed over, “what happened? Why were y

    ~ Emery ~I stomped out of the house as my eyes filled, not wanting to burst into tears in front of Donald or Chloe.Because the outburst and all I'd said reminded me of the pain and hurt my situation was.My feet wandered to wherever it felt, a drop of tear rolling down my cheek.This all was sad. Thinking about the fact I had to shout at Donald when he did nothing wrong only worsened my mood.That would be a first, and I really hoped it never happened again. I would have to make up for it all.But first, I knew I needed to think everything through.If it wasn't for the fact this was still morning, I'd have stopped by a bar and drunk myself to stupor.Anything to clear off my thoughts.Suddenly, a car stopped beside me, involuntarily halting my movement. The sun shone in my eyes as I turned, so I had to use a hand to shield its rays, watching as the car window rolled to reveal Sam.“Oh, I thought I saw you.” His eyes squinted as he observed me. “Are you— crying?”Was I?I touched m

    The moment I stepped in and saw Emery's frown, I knew whatever discussion we were going to have would likely be the most serious one we'd ever had.Which was why I didn't bother trying to lighten the mood with anything unnecessary.Instead, shut the door and headed to have a seat on the couch.“Dale.” That was the first thing she said. “What the fuck are you doing in his place? Of all places to be, you had to be in his place?” I wasn't even sure where to start. How to even begin explaining anything. Of course I couldn't say I was having sex with him or all that.But I didn't want to lie either, so I went with, “It's complicated.”“What on earth is complicated? You better explain something to me because at the moment I'm not in a good mood so please, don't further irritate me.” This was actually the first time I'd see her this mad.My brows furrowed slightly. “Alright then, I was at Dale's place because I wanted to be there. I don't see why it's any of your business enough to have you

    I woke up the next morning with not a bit of regret on all that happened.Dale was still asleep when I woke up, giving me room to stare at the beauty he beheld. Something I'd always loved and was certain I still loved even till now.He was very handsome, undeniably. My eyes travelled his face, the perfection of his eyes, nose that was likely created for him and him alone.Lips that defined beauty, reminding me of how damn sweet it had tasted.In fact, I found myself wanting to taste it once again.And then I thought, what was the wrong in doing that? I mean, he was the same person digging himself into me all last night while I chanted his name like it was my favorite thing to say.A smile crept up my lips remembering the scene. It ‘had’ been my favorite thing last night.I couldn't imagine myself being anywhere else. Seriously.“You seem to admire me so much, don't you.” He spoke, eyes slowly opening.I didn't care that he caught me unashamedly staring at him.Instead, rose to my fee

    Dale kissed back instantly, arm wrapping around me in a firm grip.I was grateful for that because at the moment, my legs wobbled slightly and his arm helped steady me in place.When his tongue parted my lips, slipping over, goosebumps jumped my entire body, desires coursing through me.The kiss deepened as he took to sucking the breath off me, my head tilting backward with as much pleasure shaking in me at that moment.Then he pulled back slightly, allowing us both to breath, though our faces stayed close to each other.“This isn't the right place to be.” He spoke in a low growl, like he felt exactly how I felt.“Let's go there then.” I whispered afterwards.“Are you sure?” He asked lowly, breath hitting me in a way that made him look so damn hot. “I'm asking because the moment this all starts, I don't think I will be able to bear it's end.”My hand moved to his cheek, wrapping into his hair so I pulled him for another kiss. “And what if I don't want it to end either?”Like that was

    “Because I love you.” Dale's words were followed by silence. Full, complete silence.We both paused, staring straight at each other.People passed by, cars zoomed off, the doormen greeted customers getting in.But we both stayed unmoving, no words said, no sound made.It took a moment before I got myself a little, but the shock hit harder than ever.“Do you know what you're saying?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.He sighed, shoulders seeming a little tense. “I-I didn't mean to say it this way, but yes. I've loved you for a long time, although I've refused to admit it, not only to you, but to myself.”My heart skipped a beat by those words, breath hanging somewhere up in the air.This was all coming to me as a complete shock.“The day of the event, when I saw you after so long, something stirred up in me. Seeing you again,” he seemed to hesitate slightly, “it brought something in me. And-And I realized I might've missed you. More than I thought I did.”“I—” was at a loss of
