The journey home was in silence, though Adriana wouldn't call it an uncomfortable one. Anyway, that is for her. She wouldn't say if it is the same for Skyler. He has been sporting this swollen look ever since they left the restaurant like a kid whose toy was snatched from him. Yeah, adorable when he loses. Adriana smirked inside turning to shoot him another look. He looked so handsome with the sun reflecting the side of his face, and his midnight-colored hair swaying under the force of the breeze. He was doing his best pretending that Adriana wasn't in the car and that amused her a lot. " Are you planning on not speaking to me again or what? " she teased giving him another look. " No, I am not, " Skyler replied in a curt tone, his voice cold and annoyed. He was still seething from the fact that the woman beside him just played him like some musical instrument. Adriana laughed like he just said the funniest thing. " There is something you should get used to if you are going to be wi
Skyler felt so tired after the hell of a day he had in the office. It's been a stressful week with all the leg work he needed to do for the smooth assimilation of the new company he just acquired for his father. Being one of his pet's projects he had needed to oversee everything personally. It hadn't been easy because he had needed to let some of the staff go. A job Skyler never liked doing. His father has always accused him of being weak whenever he hesitates to fire employees even when they deserve it, but Skyler believes in his heart that kindness is never a weakness. The employees he let go today he had made sure they were compensated well financially and had a glowing recommendation from him to aid them in getting a new job. After walking into his apartment, Skyler made his way straight towards his bathroom, what he needed right now is a bath and then a good night's rest. He couldn't be more pleased that it is Friday. His heart skipped in his chest as it has been doing since he
The days flew by like the wind and before Adriana could count her toes it was Friday. Thank God. Work as usual was hectic not that she could remember any of the things she did. Her mind had been split between work and thinking of Skyler. She hasn't been able to get the guy out of her head which is very unusual. Her thoughts about any guy she has been with end as soon as she orgasms and then they are old story but that is not the case with this one. Funny irony she is yet to fuck him. Adriana drove into the bar she was meeting her friends and parked. She stepped down and then adjusted the short simmering blue she had on and made her way towards the entrance. This evening her friends decided to go on low-key. The place was teeming with few patrons despite it being Friday. The ambiance of the place was serene and cool. It didn't take her long to spot her friends. They were at a table near the wall but with a perfect view of the door. Like usual Shannon had the seat facing the door, she
Adriana grew nervous as the phone began to ring, her heart sped up, racing in her chest while her hands grew a little cold. She didn't know why she was nervous, but she was. The phone rang for a while without being picked making me a little worried. Has the guy gone to bed? She could feel the expectant looks from her friends and that was worsening her nerves. A weak embarrassing smile appeared on her lips as she continued to listen to the phone ring without being picked up. As she was about to give up, the click sound of the call being picked up filtered through the phone. His voice when it came through was sad and lifeless, sparking up a worried feeling inside Adriana's heart. " Hey, are you okay? " she questioned sitting up. Her friends' brows lifted at the tenderness in her voice, and the worried look she was spotting. They have never seen their friend look this worried about a guy. Adriana laughed at the sound of disbelief in his voice when he tried to confirm her identity.
Just like every other day, Skyler's inner alarm clock woke him up just before his alarm went off. He made some sleeping sounds turning around to check the time. It was just 6 am. His body felt languid and in the mood to lazy around in bed. Like there is an inner feeling that he has nothing critical to do today. Then like an alarm went off in his head, he was reminded of what today is and what will be happening. His heart skipped and began to race in his chest. All of a sudden he was filled with nerves about the upcoming date. Last night it took him a while to calm his mind to be able to fall asleep. It was so overactive analyzing everything that could go wrong at the date or what they will do. He threw around several possibilities in his head, and then he began to worry if he will be a good date companion. This is going to be his first date and even though it is all about the blonde convincing him to have a more serious relationship with her, he couldn't help being scared that he mig
Adriana was a bit thrown for the loop when Skyler stated that the formal wear he had on was his causal. Does the guy never relax? she thought but outwardly she was a perfect look of blankness, which changed to one of sheepish shyness as she remembered what is in her hand. " Here, " she stretched out her hand to Skyler, her face taking on the glowing color of a very ripe tomato. On her hand was a beautiful banquet of red roses, this was her first, a spur of the moment which she decided on as she was racing down to Skyler. A little cute frown pulled at Skyler as he took the flowers from the blonde. " Thanks, " he said as if he was thinking about the word. He hadn't expected the flowers. " Does that mean you love me? " he asked with a deadpan expression on his face. Adriana choked on her spit, coughing a little as her lids blinked severally at Skyler. " Excuse me! "Still maintaining a straight face, Skyler's eyes flicked from the roses on his hand to the stunning blue eyes of the blo
The silence in the car became stiffening making Skyler's nerves worse. His fingers have been twitching since he sat down which was irritating the hell out of him. He wasn't the type to be nervous. He was always cool and has always been able to handle anything he finds himself in so why for god's sake does the blonde make him nervous. He took a shot at her face from his side eyes and couldn't help admiring her. She was really a beautiful woman. And the smile on her face made her look radiant that his heart leaped in his chest. " What is funny? " he couldn't help his curiosity. Adriana who have been lost in her head turned to look at him with a flash of confusion in her blue eyes. " What? "" You are smiling, " Skyler pointed towards her lips as if the blonde couldn't see it. " Oh, " Adriana mumbled reaching her hand to her lips to touch the smile. She had a puzzled look like she didn't know she was smiling. " I am just happy, " she shrugged at Skyler as she continued to drive, her
Skyler couldn't believe he wasted his time on this. That is why he never bothered to date. All the women are the same shrews and stubborn just like his mother. He has lost the zeal to fight with the blonde and just wanted to go home. Since she is insisting on not taking him home he will just have to find his way home. He stared at the blonde feeling a little disappointed that this will be the end of them. He had liked her even if it was a tiny bit. She had made him happy the little while they were together. Well, it wasn't meant to be. He didn't say another word to the blonde and just turned to head home. He will just call himself a taxi. Adriana expected Skyler to argue more when she said she wasn't taking him home and not the resigned disappointed look that appeared on his face making her appear like an org. If he wasn't going to apologize and just walk off like a child throwing a tantrum then he should suit himself, Adriana huffed and walked towards her friends. Her friends s
