The hallway was dirty; when she walked in before the elevator closed behind her. She looked at her secretary, who came in after her.
'Good morning ma.' She greeted.
This wasn't really a good morning, look at this place and at 8, when the woman was supposed to resume at 7.
'What is the meaning of this, Lucy?'
She looked at her boss; confused and then Amber pointed to the hall way, she looked at it and looked away.
If Cassie had been here before her, she would have begun shouting.
'Sorry, ma.' She said getting to her desk about to call someone; just then the cleaner came in from the elevator; a middle aged woman; she bowed her head as she got off the elevator and hurried past her before Amber could say anything.
She just shook her head and walked to her office and closed the door after her; sometimes some of her employees forgot their place; just because she became familiar with them.
She had work to take care of before her meeting.

She frowned as the door opened and Jake showed his face.She sighed and went back to her work.After last night; she had sent him a message instead of calling; she didn't feel like hearing from him; that was why she didn't call in the first place.Now, he was here; doing what?When Lucy had told her; he was here; she had wanted to tell him, I am not available right now but instead she thought; that would give him a reason to question her, he would ask her about Nicholas that was totally irrelevant and to show him she is completely cool after what he said last night; she had to see him; show him; who was more rational in this relationship.'Hey, Babe.' He said as he walked through the large room to meet her desk.She gave him a lazy smile. 'Hey, Jake.' She wasn't a good mood to talk to him right now.He sat on the visitor's chair; and looked at the documents on the table in front of her and a pen, cup of coffee by it.'Are you almost

Cassie, are you serious right now?' She asked as Cassie picked her up from the airport.Truth! She had been totally bored for a week, attending meetings and attending shows, her father told her to visit her uncle while she was there and she had called Cassie before she slept off last night to be at the airport to pick her up at 12 when her plane landed.She won't lie that she didn't enjoy the short visit to her aunt's school which she owned and her cousins were excited to see her but she couldn't lie that she didn't miss home and Skype.And she just heard from her friend that she was pregnant! Wow.'Cassie, are you serious?' She smiled half laughing.She looked at her friend as she drove.'Does Maxwell know?' She asked her.Cassie blushed.

She felt mentally weak and her spirits low, she had not slept the previous night except thinking about Nicholas and Jake, Nicholas' kiss, the way she responded to him.She hit her forehead with her left hand and she sank in her seat. Why did she even kiss him? She had told him to stop kissing her and instead of her to push him away, she embraces him only to be enveloped, smeared and blessed with his lips, she forbade herself from giving into, from the same lips she promised herself not to kiss because of her relationship with Jake.God! How can she deal with this?And her feelings for him has surfaced and and this time in thousand folds overriding the one she felt for Jake.She is still in love with Nicholas Mitchell; her husband who left her and was back.She had told him; she agreed to his terms; he would do anything to win her back, by performing his marital roles, and giving her the time to spend with Jake, isn't it infidelity?

They sat round the table for two.Amber smiled; when they saw the candles on the table and the bottle of her favorite wine.Rather, their favorite wine. They drank this wine after a family gathering; when everyone except the both of them had retired to bed. After they had cleaned the kitchen, they would take a bottle of wine and two glasses to their room and celebrate for a successful day gone. Nicholas would take three glasses and Amber the rest of the bottle; she always found herself in her short nightie in his arms and his legs over her, the next morning.'Really? You could have just told me, it was DIAMOND's Nick.' She said with a smile.He couldn't be more proud of being her husband right now.'It would ruin the surprise.' He said taking his menu to look at.He gave her, hers though it was right in front of her.When he gestured for the waiter, she asked him. 'Is there anything special happening?' she dropped her menu.He smiled. 'M

She sighed as the radio filled the car, she was driving and Jake by her side.Unfortunately no man cancelled, they both wanted to go to the wedding and they both wanted to dance with her.She wasn't the most prettiest in the universe, why didn't Jake think of someone to carry along or why didn't Nicholas bring Apirl?She pondered on these questions as she made a U-turn.She took a glimpse of Jake beside her.Jake had had lunch with her a week ago; he had apologized for raising his voice and he wanted her to promise him; she would not give him up for Nicholas. But Amber didn't make that promise, because she knew, it was her life that was being spoken of here. So instead she told him, nothing would stop her from making right decision for herself.Which meant it was either him or Nicholas or neither.She could make her decision at the end.He didn't even pursue the topic, instead spoke about how he was going to celebrate her birthday that was com

She continued; when he said nothing but scanned her face for a slight change that she might be joking.....But Amber didn't say what she didn't mean; she was not joking but something intrigued him.'Did you ever stopped loving me?'She smiled and pressed her body to his; raised her toes and kissed his cheek with the slowest motion ever before she whispered.
