I snuck in further into my bed and cried some more. What happened back at Neil's office could never be taken away. It sank in my heart and laid there, arousing bit by bit, tearing me further apart. I avoided calling my friends. They didn't need to hear all my misfortunes. Things always didn't work out for me. I looked in the fridge to look for a bottle of soda. People lose appetite while eating, but while I cried, food was one thing that calmed me. Drinking soda or taking ice cream helped to send warmth to that cold area that seemed to thaw.I opened a bottle of Coke and gulped it down. It tasted bitter and sad. Like me. I wanted something hot, something that would help me forget all that had happened. I needed Whiskey. I opened my cabinet and dug out a bottle. I didn't need a glass so I opened it and drank from the bottle. Wiping my snort and running my hands through my hair, I'd never felt so depressed in my entire life. I heard knocks on my door and I quickly cleaned my face. I d
I stumped out of Neil's office in agony and pain. I was embarrassed at the rejection and pain he caused me in front of his pesky secretary, Margaret. I zoomed off in my Porsche car, crying my eyes out. Neil just broke up with me. Unbelievable. I picked my phone to text Mom that I was coming to her house, but my hands were so shaky that I dropped the phone. I couldn't believe that Neil threw me like a rag because his secretary that was without a class. Earlier today, I sat on the balcony in my house, sipping an apple juice with my laptop in my hands. I watched the office twenty-four seven, waiting for when they'd start having sex. And I saw the moment coming to pass when Zina walked into the office with a cheerful look. I waited and watched as she served Neil coffee, I also watched as the coffee burnt his hands, and when Zina ran helter-skelter to look for a band aid. I smiled. I placed my hands on my mouse, waiting to press the left button. It started with a slow, wet, sloppy kis
I could finally breathe. Keeping Megan to myself was I was holding myself down and I wouldn't think things through when I was with her. Would I say I was with Zina now? There was a lot of chemistry between us. She understood me quite well and I also did understand her. Life was easy with her, but I had to play my cards well. I wanted it all to be an affair, not something that would end up in an altar. Sometimes I wondered how life would be with Zina. I thought of my home flooded with kids that would run down to me and I'd lift them on my shoulders. I had thought of kids with Zina, children that would have her wonderful eyes and hair. I'd thought of waiting for her to walk down the aisle in an overflowing dress, smiling so hard at me. I'd wonder how life would be if I had children that I'd dress up for the first day at school and graduation. If I'd have girls that would have boys knocking on my door on the day of prom. I'd imagined life with children that would warm me when I'd be
I saw a woman coming out of Neil's office with a sad look. She saw me and stopped "hey! You are Zina?" I nodded my head. She looked at me from head to toe and stumbled out. I wondered who she was. "Could she be Megan's mother?" I walked to Neil's office to inform that I was about to leave. "Neil, I need to leave now, it's closing time." "You are free. I will call you later." I quickly left the office. On getting to my house, I met Gabriel. "What are you doing here?" "Zina, please I am sorry. I am here to beg you to forgive me and accept me back. I know I have wronged you." I asked myself if truly he was sorry or he was just saying it because he noticed I have moved on with my life. "Gabriel, you can actually see that I am just coming back from work. I need you to please leave the door, let me find my way inside and rest." "Zina, why are you this heartless? Remember how we forgave each other easily in the past. Why are you treating me like this and making things difficult?"
"How dare you?" I shouted in my voice and was very close to him like I wanted to hit him with my head. "So you are the billionaire that has been deceiving my girlfriend." "I beg your pardon! Who is your girlfriend?" I asked to be sure. "Zina of course." "Oh! You mean my wife to be or is there any other Zina you are talking about?" I purposely said to make a mockery of him. I could tell he was surprised by my statement. He never expected such a line to come out of my mouth. I am sure he was trying to gain his balance. "You are not ashamed of yourself that you left a good woman to some sort of sluts. People like you are not supposed to be in the category of men." If there was any weapon around, I am very sure he would use it on me. I wasn't mincing words and I meant everything I said. "You know why I pity Zina? Billionaires like you don't stay with one woman. Your type hardly thinks of getting settled in marriage. I am out to save her from heartbreak." I bursted out in lau
This guy is too smart. How did he swing this car to the left? How do I tell Megan that we missed this one? He is very lucky. I just wonder what he did to my girl that made her turn her back away from me. Well, it is not as if I am interested in her anymore, but I am doing this all because of the money Megan promised me. If not because of the money, then I wish her well. Everyone needs to be happy in their relationship. But I must say, Zina is a very nice girl who does not look at the money first, but I don't know if she is actually following this billionaire because of the money or maybe the love they have for each other. As for me, I don't think Megan loves the billionaire. I am sure she is only out for the money. Although, she looks classy. My phone rang. I had to park the car beside the road. "Hello." "Yes, Megan." "How did it go?" "I am sorry, but he was too smart. I missed the target." "You did what? How could you miss the target? I told you to smash the car, especially w
I was so scared inside the car. What kind of a reckless driver was that. If not for Neil being vigilant, we would have been crushed to death. "Don't be scared my darling. Maybe the driver was drunk or he lost control of his steering." "But why was he driving towards where I was sitting down?" Neil looked at me. "You are right. It was because of that I drove to the left. Hmm, you were observant. Maybe he lost control." "The whole thing seems like someone to me. Is the place still far away?" "We are almost there." Soon he rode in front of a gate and waited for the gate to be open. Immediately we moved inside, the beauty of the place made me forget what happened earlier. I was so flabbergasted. In my entire life, I haven't been to such a place. Neil noticed the way my mouth was wide open. "You love the place?" "This place is so beautiful. Looks like heaven on earth." "Haha, you are very funny. It's time to come down." We came down from the car and held our hands togethe
I waited for her to arrive but I couldn't see her. It is almost 8:00a.m, and she has not arrived at work. I called her number again, she wasn't picking. I became uncomfortable. I know the last time I called her she told me she was almost on her way. What do I do now? I picked up my phone again and dialed her line and she still wasn't picking. I decided to wait. Maybe she couldn't get transport easily. But when I waited for 30 minutes more, I couldn't see her. I stood up from my chair, picked up my car keys, locked my office and left the company. I moved straight to her house to know if she was okay but her door shows that she was out of the house and it was locked. I became confused. What is happening? I couldn't see her while I was on my way coming. Hope she is safe. I called her again, this time her number was picked but it was a male voice. I was asking myself what she was doing with a male. Was she in a guy's house? But then the person talking on the phone looked like someone
