DIANA POV“Thanks for the ride,“ I said while removing my seatbelt. “You are welcome,“ he replied.I made an attempt to open the door but Albert stopped me by placing his hands on mine and I stare at him with a questioning look on my face.“What is it?“ I asked him.He leaned closer making me forget how to breathe and he smiled. “What? Why did you suddenly stop breathing?“ He said the obvious.“Breathe, okay,“ he said.I did as told and before I knew it, he placed his lips on mine. “Goodnight sweetheart, I will call you when I get home,“ he said to me.I got lost the minute his lips landed on mine as I wasn’t expecting it. Give it to Albert for knowing how to make me lose my composure.I quickly got out of the car, still trying to control my heartbeat. I placed my chest on my palm, trying to control my heartbeat.I watch as he drove away before making my way to the building. I went to Maria’s place to get my kids. I pressed the bell and waited for her to come open the doo

DIANA“And that’s all you need to know,“ I said, after explaining all that Albert needed to know about the project and to the point Marcus had stopped.Albert was leaning closer to me. He has been this close since I began explaining to be and I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn’t affected by his closeness.He seem to know what he was doing and his actions distracted me too. Most time when I look at him, my eyes would land on his lips and that moment would be when he was running his tongue over his bottom lips.“Do you understand?“ I asked him, my voice coming out lower than I anticipated.The way he was staring at me had once again set my heart ablaze and made me feel uncomfortable at the same time.“Yes, yes I understand,“ he said still looking into my eyes.I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat slowly. “Since you understand then here you go, and...““Why are you in a haste?“ He asked.“Huh?“ I said confused.“I said why are you in a haste. You still haven’

DIANA“Thanks for having lunch with me. Would you mind if I dropped you home later tonight?“ Albert asked and I immediately shook my head.“How many times do I have to remind you that I am not your girlfriend and I only had lunch today so you won’t think I still haven’t forgiven you,“ I told him.“Well, I know you have but then again your mood swings deserve accolades. It’s hard to predict you,“ he said and I shrugged2. “And that’s a good thing because I refuse to be predicted by you or anybody,“ I told him.“Stop some miles from the company so that I can get down. I do not want people misunderstanding and spreading rumors,“ I told him and he chuckled.“You do realize because I drop you in front of the company doesn’t mean everyone would think I have something to do with you right? They’d think I just helped you or you went with me on behalf of Marcus stop overthinking or maybe just like I, you already accepted that I am yours in your head? Right? Admit it,“ he said and I scof

DIANAThe past few days have been stressful for me. Kate’s mother was battling cancer and she was in the final stage which was why she had to stop coming to look after my kids because she had to look after her mother.She was short of cash and asked me to help her and I had no choice but to ask for help from Marcus who helped Kate financially.Albert and I were yet to speak to one another and it was affecting me too. I was yet to tell him about the kids and it was as if the universe was against him knowing she has two kids.“Hello sir,“ I answered the landline.“Can you please come into my office?“ Marcus said and I put down the landline to go answer him. I entered his office.“You asked me to come,“ I said getting his attention.“Please take this file to Albert,“ he said, pointing to the files on his desk.At the mention of Albert’s name, my heart skipped. I have been wanting to see him for days now and the closest I’ve gotten to him is the day I had a cross path with him

ALBERTI was surprised to see Marcus at the front of my door with his hands in his pants pocket. He seemed to have been waiting for me for a very long time now.“What brings you here?“ I asked.He lifted his head to look at me and then he shrugged with a smile on his face.“Can’t I just come to visit?“ He asked and I chuckled lightly.“You are welcome anytime. I’m just surprised you are here. Wasn’t expecting you by this time,“ I told him since it was late. “Well, I came here after dropping a friend,“ he said and I knew who that friend was.I opened the door to my house. “A friend? Male or female?“ I acted cluelessly.“Female. It’s my P. A Diana,“ he informed me and I nodded my head.“I see. You seem to have formed a bond with her. I mean considering your past. I’m surprised you now keep females close,“ I remarked.“I have gotten over my trauma since last year,“ he revealed, leaving me shocked as I didn’t know of that.“Really? When?“ I asked him.“Last year like I said. I
