She kept bouncing her legs throughout the ride, perhaps unconsciously, but I couldn’t take my mind off it. I couldn’t say anything about it either, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to talk to her or not. Neither of us had said a word to each other. Her fists were tight around her bag as she looked out the window. She was definitely still pissed.
Did I care?
That was the issue. I cared a whole damn lot, but I didn’t say anything and

Patricia’s POV“What was all that about?” Betty asked the minute I caught up with her.I shook my head, waving it off. “Nothing too important.”Yet, I couldn’t help but replay the whole conversation in my head. He could apologise a hundred and one times for someone else, but it was a task for him to acknowledge the pain he had caused me. Unbelievable!“Have you seen Jessica around today?” I asked, continuing smoothly from where I was interrupted.She frowned at me. “You haven’t heard?”I dipped my brows, urging her to continue.“She was sacked, very publicly, I might add, a while after you left yesterday.”My steps slowed. I never imagined this could lead to her losing her job permanently. “Goodness,” I muttered to myself.“Nah, she deserves it,” Betty interjected quickly, smacking her lips. “She has always been so stuck up.”I stared at her in shock. “You don’t even know her.”“I don’t need to know her to see she’s a bad person. And after what she did to you, who in their r

Patricia The meeting pulled through from afternoon to evening, and by the time we were dismissed, we were all tired from the back and forth that almost led to an argument after the presentation. Something that could have been avoided were the CEO present the previous meeting. But who were we to point that out? Apart from that minor irritation, the day had been better than I had anticipated. I had expected people to stare at me, and stare they did, but they weren’t judging. They only looked at me as if they were looking for answers to some mystery, to know what was in my head perhaps, and when I caught their eyes, they looked away sharply with hints of smiles on their faces. It was just plain weird. And then it got annoying, because I also caught Bryce stealing glances at me throughout the entire four hours of the meeting. I could tell he had something to say to me, but I wasn’t waiting to find out. The moment we had the clear to leave, I sprang out of my seat and rushed towards B

PatriciaMy brows dipped as I stared at the place he tapped. He was suggesting I lie right beside him. Was he really okay with that? Or was it just to pamper me for today?When he realised I was hesitating, he smiled and nodded. “I’m being serious, yes. Come closer.”I didn't think much afterwards and just scooted closer, until we were close enough to cuddle. I propped my head on my arm and hugged myself with the other, so I didn't end up ‘mistakenly’ touching him. Sure, he wanted to kiss me earlier, but that spell would've worn off by now.“Stop overthinking. Let's call a spade a spade, alright? She did what she did because she really doesn't like you, and that’s what it is. I know it’s hard to believe, because of how close you two were, but what you saw today is the truth about how she really feels about you. Don't make excuses for her.”I wiped my face to make sure there weren't any te

PatriciaThe rest of the day passed in a blur. Time seemed to be speeding for just today, because so many things happened all at once. It was surreal. A day that started poorly ended with Ethan and I having a meal together, while having an actual fun conversation, one which had nothing to do with our problems, and it was a good break for both of us.Ethan later had to make a conference call, which kept him in his study for a few hours. I took advantage of that and tried to finish some of my own work on my laptop, at least what I could do from home.Now it was night time, and I was huddled up in the bed, trying to start reading a new book. Ethan had just ended his meeting and was taking a shower. I had already taken mine, and reapplied the ointment on my chest- by myself this time. Perhaps, it was because I had been by myself for a while, or because I was once again trying and failing to read a romance book without my conscience laying a heavy load of gu

PatriciaBefore I could’ve cough or hiccup or do anything else to disguised what I had just done, his eyes found mine and they just stayed there. My breath hitched, not prepared for the intensity of his stare. I was surprised. His desire was very evident, unshielded, and it confused me why he wasn’t making any attempt to hide it like I was. I didn’t have to worry about that too much because he halted my thoughts as he stepped closer, his hand dropped to my thigh pushing it apart so he could stand between my legs. In all this he never looked away. His hand travelled lightly from my thigh to my bare waist. I bit my lip inching closer to him. My hands left the counter and planted themselves on his shoulder for better support. As if my actions gingered him, his eyes dropped to my lips and he lowered his head.A lump formed in my throat. He was going to kiss me, and I wanted that to happen. Heck, I had been dying for this kind of intimacy so much

PatriciaI was shirtless once again- well, not completely, as I still had my bra on- and this being the second time today didn’t mean it was any easier. This time, we in the bathroom of our bedroom, with me sitting on the counter while Ethan looked through the cabinets for some ointments. Soon, he’d be standing in front of me, or between my legs. I flushed at the thought. I couldn’t be blamed for the naughty thoughts I was having as it had been months since I had done anything with him that involved talking off my clothes. How was I supposed to stay calm now that he was going to be touching me in places that had turned foreign to him?I gripped the edge of the counter and tried not to swing my legs as it would only make me more anxious. Maybe I should change the subject.“My car,” I called out to him. “We left it at the office.”His eyes that were roaming through the compartments met mine briefly before h

PatriciaI exhaled, not knowing why she was even questioning me about this. Did she really think that low of me? “I ran into him by chance okay, and we just exchanged pleasantries.”“Pleasantries?” she echoed like I had said the most ridiculous thing
