DIANA“You can stop dreaming already okay? I’m not afraid to be in an enclosed space with you and besides I was at your place and I’m standing this close to you yet I feel nothing,“ I lied and I was doing it well as I wasn’t giving any impression that I was nervous that he was this close to me.“Okay. Fine. Let me walk you,“ he suggested.“And like I said. No, you can’t. You can’t leave your car here. I think you have to go already. Goodnight Albert and make this easier for the both of us, thank you,“ I said, hoping he wouldn’t refuse to listen.“Okay then,“ he said back away and I heaved a sigh of relief.“But wait first...“ Albert pulled me by my arms towards him and placed an opened mouth lingering kiss on my lips, stealing my breath away.“Goodnight,“ he whispered on my lips. I was still finding it hard to breathe. My emotions were all over the place. Just a kiss from him was enough to send me into a frenzy.“Take care,“ he said. I watched as he got into his car and dr

DIANAIt’s been over two days since Albert called me on the phone and I was starting to feel bad and worry.Maybe I shouldn’t have spoken to him that way, I thought to myself. I attempted to call him a few times but ended up not doing so because I didn’t want to bother him.I didn’t want him to thank me that there was hope for us even though that kiss, left so stirring feelings for me in the pit of my stomach. I was avoiding that.I did think of the kiss a lot of times and it distracted me at work too. Next week I was going to assume the position of Marcus’ secretary because he had given me the rest of the week to prepare myself ahead.I was very much grateful to him. I do not know why he helped me but I am glad he did. To think I didn’t even want to entertain him.“Mum, what’s wrong?“ You have been staring at your phone for a long time now,“ Armani said to me, snapping me back to reality. I had not realized it as I was staring at Albert’s name on my phone.“Nothing. Nothing

ALBERT’S POVIf it was up to me, I’d be chatting and calling Diana all of the time but I didn’t want to seem pushy. I have already made it clear to her that I wanted our relationship back and I wasn’t hiding it.I was tapping on the screen of my phone with my index finger, contemplating if I should call her or not but I wanted to. I needed to get done with my business trip ad soon as possible and see her in person. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and keep her close to me but at the same time, I was nervous. A lot had changed about her and I was trying not to push her.Suddenly my phone screen lit up and Diana’s name popped on my phone. My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at my screen. I’m just dreaming, I thought to myself as I kept staring at my screen. There was absolutely no way it was Diana that was calling me.I never expected this from her. A smile crept to my face as I kept staring at the screen. Diana was calling me and for some reason, it made me nervous when

DIANA POVI didn’t know how else to answer the kids. I didn’t know what to tell them about their father. I couldn’t lie and tell that he was dead, not at all.I couldn’t blame them for their questions because sooner or later they’d ask and besides they see their friends with their parents so it s very much expected from them.“Do you guys want to hear from your dad?“ I asked them and they nodded their head. “Okay then. You will hear from your day. I will make sure that you do hear from him,“ I told them, hoping I sounded reassuring enough and that would make them stop asking more questions.“When is that mommy? When are we going to hear from him?“ Mika asked.I smiled at her. “Soon,“ I told her.“How soon?“ Armani asked.“Do you not believe mummy? I said you will hear from your father soon and that’s a promise okay?“ I told them and they nodded their head.As much as I wasn’t ready to tell Albert about the kids, I knew I had to and I had to do that fast. I didn’t know how t

DIANA“Why won’t you stay the night?“ Albert asked me as I picked up my trouser from the floor to wear them. My shirt was in his living room.“I can’t stay and I already told you that,“ I said to him as I clasped my bra back.“I know,“ he said, getting up from the bed to wear his shirt.“Okay,“ he sighed. He walked closer to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind.“What are you doing Albert? I won’t stay,“ I told him.“I’m not telling you to stay,“ he said.“So what are you doing?“ I asked him.“Does this mean we are together once again?“ He asked.“I already told you that I consider you as mine in my head and I’d wait for you but I must tell you that after this, I do not think I’d be able to keep my hands to myself,“ he said.I removed his arms from around my neck. “I’ve heard you but I haven’t made anything official between the both of us. What we had is sex and people have sex. It doesn’t mean anything much,“ I told him.“Wow. So you have been...“ He trailed
