Victoria lay on her back on her bed as she looked at the ceiling with a smile on her face. Her hands were on her stomach as she recollected what happened earlier that night.
The conversation with Mr Smith went more smoothly than she had expected and she was not expecting him to confess to her and tell her that he was going to court her.They ate their food in silence but every once in a while, they would sneak glances at one another and some other times, their eyes locked with one another but she would be the first to look away as her cheek would flush in embarrassment.While they left the restaurant, Mr Smith locked his hands with her but she had made an attempt to remove her hands but he held them firmly, not looking at her.She could feel her heartbeat on her head as they walked. She felt so shy and she felt her knees weaken. He had asked for her address but she wasn't ready for him to know the place so she told him not to bother and that she had called an Uber already.He told her to cancel but she was unwilling. After much contemplation, she told him she didn't want to ride with him because everything that had happened today was too much for her to handle. She assured him that there was no bad blood between them and she looked forward to a beautiful working day tomorrow.When the Uber came, Mr Smith opened the door for her to get it. It felt awkward most times as she would see him as her boss and not an ordinary man. Before he closed the door, he did something that made her heart skip, he kissed her on the lips.She has not been able to get over it till now as whenever she remembers it, she would smile. She tossed and turned on her bed but yet sleep refused to come her way so she began to recollect how her day went.The words of Mr Smith and how he told her he liked her set her heart ablaze. She was terrified of the immense feeling she felt.Victoria woke up the next day with a smile on her face. She had not realized when she finally fell asleep but the moment she woke up, she was reminded by the fact she has to go to work and that she would see someone very special to her. She was glad to find out that she wasn't the only one that felt the way she felt but he also felt the same too. She had not confessed her feelings to him yet but then she is reminded by the fact Landon likes her too. She had not heard from him after the dinner date went wrong and she believed he had every right to be mad at her but then it created doubt in mind.She wondered if he truly liked her as he claimed because if he did, she expected him to have confessed. She wondered where he could be. She sighed as she got up from her bed to use the toilet as she felt her stomach ache."Mother nature calls!" She screamed and ran to the toilet.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You seem to be in a good mood. Want to share the good news?" Elizabeth spoke, noticing the glow in her friend's face.Victoria smiled hard. "Well, there is so much to say but then again I do not know how to start! I'm overwhelmed! I'm excited, ignited and gosh!" She covered her face with her hands."Go on, tell me the good news." Elizabeth insisted."Jason confessed his feelings to me!" She tells Elizabeth making Elizabeth brows creased in confusion."Jason? Who is that?" She asked as she has never heard Elizabeth talk of anyone with the name Jason.Victoria's face palmed herself as she realised that she had just called her boss by his name. "That's Mr Smith's name. Jason Smith." She tells Elizabeth to make her mouth form the 'o' shape."That's a nice name. Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed as she remembered what Victoria had just said earlier."Jason confessed to you? Oh my goodness! Tell me every little detail and don't you dare leave a story out or else I will have to castrate you." She threatened her friend.Victoria giggled at first before telling her of everything that happened last night. Elizabeth was very happy for her friend. While Victoria told her of what happened between her and Mr Smith, she squealed in joy."Here comes the best part." Victoria said, peaking Elizabeth's curiosity."Go on and tell me immediately! I cannot control my emotions." She urged her excitedly."Well, I will have to delay a bit because whenever I remember, I feel tingles down my spine." Elizabeth confessed."Oh my goodness! Do not tell me it is actually what I am thinking." Elizabeth spoke, widening her eyes.Victoria shrugged. "Well, maybe it is and maybe it is not. But anyways while he guided me to the Uber, he kissed me." She finally let the cat out of the back."Someone pour me water, I'm about to faint." Elizabeth began to fan herself with her hands. She was happy for Victoria as if it was her own story to tell. She was glad the complicated situation between her best friend and Mr Smith was cleared."Now you are making me envious. When will Mathew confess to me?" She sighed deeply as she placed her hands on her chest.Victoria placed her hands around her friend's neck. "Worry not about it. He will definitely ask you out soon. You said so yourself. Patience my dear, patience." She tells her friend."Thanks so much Victoria. Now that your own is cleared, I am sure mine would too." Elizabeth assured herself."Well what's for breakfast?" Victoria asked. Elizabeth was the better cook and she loved cooking so she was always in the kitchen."Nothing. I woke up not feeling the need to cook. You can just make something for yourself and leave for work." Elizabeth tells her.Victoria pouted. "This is bad. I thought you were going to be my chef. You promised to always cook for me." Victor recalled as she batted her eyes with the image of looking like a puppy wanting."That's not gonna work on me. And stop acting as if we are In a relationship." Elizabeth scolded."Ouch! Straight to the bones. I've been dumped! I thought we were married? Am I not your wife anymore?" Victoria asked Elizabeth who rolled her eyes in return."Go away!" She tells her off."You are not my wife. You already got someone in your life and look at me. I'm single, nothing to do at all about it because I have to be patient, according to you." Elizabeth lamented making Victoria laugh."Come on. I told you that you won't be single any more. And besides from the way your described Mathew, he doesn't seem like the type to rush anything at all so be calm and patience because the patient dog eats the fattest bone."Elizabeth hissed. "Whatever." She said dismissively as she walked out of the kitchen."Elizabeth, are you seriously not going to make me something to eat?" Victoria shouted from behind her, making sure to call her by her full name."I have said all I have to say. Make something for yourself. I have to go to work." Elizabeth said.Victoria walked to the fridge, took out the bottle of milk, put some of it in a glass cup and drank. She went back to her room to find the clothes she would wear for today. Normally she just chose anything but today, she wanted to look different and beautiful.She couldn't settle for less. After finding the perfect outfit, she went to take her bath. She didn't usually wear much makeup but today she had taken her time to look very good and until she was pleased with herself, she didn't leave the house."Today is gonna be good." She sang to herself as she walked out of the room.Elizabeth had left thirty minutes ago and Elizabeth was usually the one that left after her."Last but not the least, these are the computer programmers of Smith technologies." Dennis introduced the investors who were with Mr Smith.The moment Mr Smith stepped into the room with the investors and Victoria's eyes caught a glimpse of him, she sneakily took out her small mirror to see her face to make sure she was looking good and presentable.She dropped the mirror back on the table once she noticed she was looking good and okay. She sneaked glances at him all the while he spoke to the investors.After some minute, Mr Smith left with the investors and she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She has been holding her breath since he came in, and suddenly find him more attractive than he was before.There was no time that the kisse they shared last night did not resurface in her head as she sneaked glances at him. She couldn't wait to be in the same room as him after all he had told her that he was officially going to court her."Here are the documents Mr Smith asked for, you can go
Victoria stood frozen on the spot after what Mr Smith had done. When he whispered in her ear asking her to invite him to her bed, she instantly thought dirty.Then while trying to gather herself after such pant soaking words, his wet lip touched hers. She panted deeply, trying to get a hold of herself. Her feelings were all over the place again just for a simple touch. She felt her heart beat faster than normal and she sighed as she placed her palm on her chest. She suddenly felt hot as she began to fan herself with her hands. After a while, she finally went back to the office now in a better mood, making Rebecca wonder.Earlier her mood was good, then sour and now good again. She couldn't help but ask what happened to her. "Are you on your period?" Rebecca whispered to her?"What?" Victoria was taken by Rebecca's question.Rebecca shrugged. "Yes, are you on your period? I mean that could be the only reason for my mood swing. Your mood is better than it was before you went out with M
Have you ever been in a state where you are bitten yet you feel no pain? That state where nothing matters and nothing hurts? Yes, numb; that would be how you'd describe Elizabeth state.She had not blinked her eyes since last night. She had not been able to sleep. She lied on her back all through and looked at the ceiling with her hands on her stomach. She had cried to the point tears were no longer coming out from her eyes to express her pain. Everything was dark to her and she looked for help. Victoria joyfully came into Elizabeth's room with a beaming smile on her face. She couldn't wait anymore to tell her friend what had happened to her last night with Mr Smith.When she came to look at Elizabeth, she saw her sleeping on her bed already so she closed her door gently and went to sleep. It was almost twelve last night when she came back home. She couldn't even close her eyes without remembering what happened.She had fun yesterday with Mr Smith. He had asked her to suggest a place
"I must say I got quite a shock when I saw your phone call, Victoria. It's been long, how have you been?" Landon asked.Victoria chuckled lightly as she helped herself sit on the chair in the VIP session of the bar. She had not expected Landon to tell her to meet him here. When she called him this morning, she wondered if she was supposed to have a talk with him after all he never confessed his feelings for her and she had no idea about anything so if she went ahead and dated Mr Smith, it wasn't her problem but then again she felt bad.Mr Smith felt he was the one that was supposed to have the talk with Landon and not Victoria but Victoria insisted on having her own conversation with him."I've been good. It's been such a long time since I last heard from you, I hope you have been living well?" She asked with a smile on her face.Landon shrugged. "Someone missed me?" His brows raised in a questioning manner as he teased her."Maybe so or not. So tell me, have you been fine?" She quest
"I must say it's been quite long since I saw you. Where have you been?" Mr Smith asked Landon as soon as Landon sat down on the couch in his office."And I must say all these while you didn't call or ask about my whereabouts or what I was doing." Landon retorted with a smirk."So Jason, what do you have for me? I'm thirsty." Landon spoke."Stand up and get yourself something from the fridge." Mr Smith replied."Is that how you treat your guests? I must say you are quite bad at this all. Bad hospitality and bad manners. You wouldn't even come to find me if I didn't come to you." Landon tells him."My bad. So how have you been and what have you been up to?" Mr Smith asked.Landon pinched the bridge of his nose as he crossed his legs. "I got promoted and I got transferred." Landon answered casually."What? Are you for real? Congratulations Landon. You got transferred to London?" Mr Smith asked."Yes and I am the COO." He told him."That's good news. How do we celebrate? I'm done for it."
Mr Smith had a frantic facial expression the moment Landon began to laugh. He wanted to understand the reason for Landon's laughter. Did Landon know of his feelings towards Victoria? Did Victoria tell Landon of his feelings for her? He thought to himself.For some reasons he wasn't worried about the outcome anymore after all Victoria had chosen Landon over him. It hurts him so much. He had never been in a situation like this and the pain terrified him.How could he feel pain in his heart, stomach and head, all at once?" He asked himself."Oh my goodness! You should have seen your face." Landon snickered as he pointed his index finger at him."Wow! I didn't know I could scare you like that? Jason this is literally the first time I was able to move your panties!" He spoke, making Mr Smith cringe when he mentioned the words panties.Landon was known to make very unnecessary comments and it wasn't new to him but still it made him cringe. What was funny to him about the whole situation he
Elizabeth tapped her fingernails on the table as she listened to Me Smith rant about his proposal. He had invited her so she could help him with his plans on how to ask Victoria to be his girlfriend. He spoke with joy in his heart as he explained his entire plans to her. She wished she was the reason behind his smile. She didn't like that he was smiling because of another woman and it hurt her to her bone.While she managed to keep her facial expression blank, within her, she was burning. Her chest tightened and her stomach churned. She was in pain. She was trying to look happy for him but ended up failing because if he hadn't been too oblivious, he would have sent her.It hurts her so much that all she had in her head was means on how to strangle the woman to death. She had never thought she'd come to have so much hatred for another woman this much because of a man."So, I really need your help." Mr Smith tells her.He swallowed the pile of spit that formed on her throat. How was s
Today is the day Elizabeth looked forward to seeing the face of the woman who had stolen the beard of Mr Smith.Mr Smith had called to inform her of the location and time with a good heart. He had only told her because she requested it and nothing more.The moment he told her the location and time, her mood had changed. All she could think of was castrating the woman who had stolen the heart of the man she claimed.Elizabeth left thirty minutes before the proposed time given to her by Mr Smith as she wanted to see the lady come in.Victoria went to Elizabeth's room to look for her so she could help her with her dress zip but she didn't see her. She wondered where she could have gone without informing her.After struggling to zip her dress, she finally did it. She was now ready to step out of the house to the location given to her by Mr Smith.Elizabeth immediately hide the moment she saw Mr Smith car drive in. They watched as he came down from the car and stepped into the building. S
