Thirty Six
She lost it at that moment. He was what? In love with her? She could not help not getting angry. He was suddenly in love with her after seeing her naked? She removed her hands from his and looked at him in the eyes. "You're in love with me?"
Desmond sighed. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I just realized —"
"When you saw me naked." She butted in. "You suddenly realized you should have fucked me a long time ago cause you liked what you saw, right?"
"Hell, no! That's absurd, F…"
"What's absurd is you tel

"What?" Faith exclaimed as she rose to her feet at the restaurant her mother had asked to meet her. What was her mother talking about? What was she saying? She had even thought they had to meet at home and perhaps talk about this and that, only for her mother to text her the address of the restaurant where they would be meeting.She could not even lay a finger on what she could define as what she was feeling at that moment. Anger? Hurt? Frustration? She could not say."Calm down and have your seat, Faith," her mother said as she touched her hand but her daughter immediately removed her hand from hers."How can you tell

Faith said nothing as they began their meeting. The look she gave her father when he apologized for being so irresponsible could make anyone commit suicide. She was grateful that her father did not meet her eyes during his talk or he would have no choice but to be short of words.She was mad at the whole thing and even got madder when her mother confirmed that she had forgiven him, just only after a few talks. How could that be? Love could really blind you from the truth, she concluded."Faith?" his father's wife called and she looked up at her.What did she have in her mind to say? The way she even called her name was awful.

As Desmond got to the restaurant of the hotel he was supposed to meet her date, he looked around to look for her. He was certain he would be able to recognize her after seeing her picture on Faith's phone. He grumbled as he remembered why he accepted to go on the date in the first place. How could Faith even think of such an idea?His search was made easy as a hand waved to him to come over. He preserved a polite smile as he approached the young lady. She was actually more beautiful in person. "I am very sorry I came late. I actually thought I was on time," he checked his watch and realized that he was actually on time. "How long have you been here?"The young lady smiled and shook her head. "I am actually the on

"Hi. You're back," Faith asked as she entered the main building and sighted her boss sitting on one of the chairs with his head in his hands.He could only nod as a reply. How could she be jovial after uttering those words about him? He could have never been more disappointed."Are you okay?"He nodded in his palms again.Faith became worried. What was going on? She walked closer and went to sit beside him. It was obvious that he was down. He did not even look up at her. She tried to touch his shoulder but refrained in t

Faith woke up earlier than usual. It was more like she had no sleep at all. No matter how much she tried and rolled on the bed she found very comfortable, she could not bring herself to have a peaceful sleep without tearing up. She just wished she could lace her fingers on the exact thing that was happening to her, but too bad. She could not.She got dressed and when it was time to go to her boss, she hesitated. She did not want to go there just to get her day more ruined. It was bad enough. But did she have a choice? She heaved a long sigh and started walking into the main house. Very soon, she would be free. She would be dropping her resignation letter very soon and would be liberated from him and the pains he had been giving her.She decided to finally let everything go. She decided to forget him and move o

"You're going to resign?" Desmond asked before smiling. He looked at Faith, hoping to see any sign of sarcasm in her expression but he found none. "Aren't you joking?"Faith shook her head. "No, sir. I can not joke about such a thing. I am serious, sir," Faith said.Her boss sighed. What was he going to do? Yes, he was mad at her for what she did. For what she heard her say, but he was not expecting what he had just heard. He had never expected a resignation. Well, he knew she was going to quit the job one day, but he did not expect it to be so soon.Why was she resigning, though? Was something wrong? Has she gotten herself a new job? He did not know the exact thing to choose as her reason for wanting to resign.

"Sir, I can explain what you heard why I said that. I really didn't mean it. I was just on the phone with my friend and – and.. I don't even know. Allow me to explain, please," she pleaded.Her boss could only smile. There was no need for to explain nor were there any reason to deny meaning it. It did not mean anything. He knew what to do. "I will give what you want." He walked back to his swivel chair and sat. He saw an envelope on his desk and opened, wondering what it was about.It was her resignation letter. When did she put that on his desk? Probably when she came in first to drop his briefcase. He raised it up for her to see. "I will approve this. Just one last thing, thank you so much for your hard work and for putting up with my attitude. Most especially, I really appreciate you for making me open up m

The client looked confused for a moment, not understanding what he meant. "I don't under—""Oh, sorry about that. I'm listening to you. You can continue," he said, giving a deep sigh, but it seemed the man had already gotten angry with the way he sprang from his seat."How can I continue when you don't even believe it to be my story? What would I gain from telling you another story and waiting in line for my appointment? What would I gain from wasting money —""I am really sorry, sir. Please, have your seat." Desmond did not know what else to say. He did not even feel like counseling anyone that day. His day had been ruined already."I am out of here," the man said and left his office angrily.
