*** He stared at her trying to read more meaning to her words. Then he asked, "How do you mean things change?" "Well, one of the main reasons my mom refuses to leave Canada was because she is working in Aunt Brenna's company. When her husband died, my mom concluded that she needed help so we stayed behind." She said. "When PK building went down that night, it threw everybody off balance. We had to cut expenses, I could no longer go for swimming lessons. Even after the issue was resolved, I had lost so much interest in it already." "The marriage proposal brought the two companies to actually merge and if the marriage did work, it would have be a good thing for us technically. Coupling with the fact that you and Clara were already in a relationship, they were very very positive it was going to work till she surprised us the next day." She said. "So

***....(flashback)"I'm sorry,""What do you mean by that?" She sobbed. "You said that you needed space and I gave you that, thinking that you will get yourself together and come back so we can be together again, what's wrong? What's wrong so we can fix it?Then he said, "I can't be in this relationship anymore. There I no problem really, I just can't be with someone I don't love Clara.""After everything I went through for you, you decide you can just end things?" Clara yelled. "Why are you doing this now? Why have you decided to ruin my life for goodness sake out told me that night that-""We made a mistake!!!" He yelled, interrupting her and she flinched before before breaking down all over again. "Can't you get it? I'm not in love with you, I never was. I wa

***She looked away. "What's wrong?" He asked when she gradually loosened her hold on him. "Huh, no it's nothing. I think we should get some rest already, it's getting late." She told him but his grip tightened instead."Is that your way of escaping the question?" She shook her head. "What happened now? I told you mine, I didn't hold anything back so you have to tell me yours."How was she going to start?She hesitated. "Daniel, I-" he nodded for her to continue. "I think we should really talk about something else." She tried again and he frowned. "You don't want to tell me?" He nodded in understanding. "I should have known what I was getting myself into telling you that. I can never even tell if you are in love with me anyways, so it's fine." She swallowed. "You know you're right, it's dark already we should just head off to bed." He said and began to retreat for the night.She watched his expression change to that of ang

*** His hand never left her waist as they walked into one of California's best restaurant that evening. It only seemed to grow tighter as people turned to stare at them. He knew that the stare of people made her quite uncomfortable and so, he made her know that she was not alone."Let me take you to your table sir," A waitress told him. It was like they awaited his arrival and immediately he made himself known, they came to him."Sure," Daniel said and they both followed the waitress down the hall.Daniel pulled out a chair for her to sit before coming to sit before her."Such a nice restaurant. How did you find this kind of place?" Clarissa found herself asking.He smiled. "It didn't take much from me because I actually own this place Clarissa." When she didn't reply he found himself looking at her.She scoffed. "Are y

***She groaned in her sleep but that didn't drive his attention away from the large glass window. She stirred, slowly waking up from her slumber.She smiled when she remembered the events of last night before letting her eyes opened. She turned only to find the other side of the bed empty. This was not how she expected her morning after a mind blowing sex to play out. She looked around until her eyes landed on the figure that was staring out in space. She watched him for a while as he stood in front of the glass window. The day was still dark but she was guessing the time to be around 6 in the morning.She sighed and sat up. "Why aren't you in bed? Is something wrong?" She pinched the bridge of her nose when she got no answer."When did you get up?" She tried again. Still nothing.He was on nothing but a pair of trousers. His toned back was left to her display as he
