Ethan“All the same, I’m glad we finally closed the deal. The investors were quite difficult to convince.”Daniel’s voice rang in my ears while I swivelled in the chair across him, my mind detached from understanding what he was saying. The last meeting for the day was over and it was only midday. Most of the work for the day was completed leaving me with almost nothing to do and that paved way for arguments to thrive in my head.“Mm.” I barely opened my mouth in response, my eyes focused on the stack of papers neatly arranged on his desk. He had always been this meticulous and responsible, something I admired because I couldn’t match up to him. I wondered how his life would be if he had a wife, or a girlfriend. Would he have everything figured out about his relationship at every point in time?“All thanks to you.”“All thanks to you,” I repeated absentmindedly.&ldqu

PatriciaI exhaled, not knowing why she was even questioning me about this. Did she really think that low of me? “I ran into him by chance okay, and we just exchanged pleasantries.”“Pleasantries?” she echoed like I had said the most ridiculous thing. “What exactly did you tell my husband to have him compare you to me?” she asked with so much distaste.Yes, there was no limit to how low she could think of me.“Jessica, I’m not interested in your husband,” I spelled the words out, and it hurt that I even had to tell her in the first place.“Stop lying.” Her voice broke and that’s only when I noticed the tears on her face. Goodness gracious. “You told him something that day and now he wants a divorce.”My eyes grew wide? The sad look on Charles’ face flashed in my mind. Was it that bad he needed a divorce?“We were doing jus

PatriciaHe helped we gather my things and then he took my hand and pulled me out of my office walking at pace that made me have to jog slightly to keep up. I was busy smiling about the fact that he was holding my hand that I couldn’t even worry about it. He was probably still angry from everything, angry on my behalf. I didn’t know how to take it.My smile stopped when we started running into people in the hallway and the lobby. Familiar faces from the cafeteria shamelessly stared at us as we passed, so much so that I could tell they’d rush to the nearest windows to watch us on the car park as well. The embarrassment from earlier seeped in again, and I wondered how I’d show my face tomorrow. They had even seen Ethan carry me to my office, over a common burn- even though that wasn’t the only reason. Jessica had really gone all out today. I had to give it to her.“Do you have something on him? Because no one would

PatriciaBefore I could’ve cough or hiccup or do anything else to disguised what I had just done, his eyes found mine and they just stayed there. My breath hitched, not prepared for the intensity of his stare. I was surprised. His desire was very evident, unshielded, and it confused me why he wasn’t making any attempt to hide it like I was. I didn’t have to worry about that too much because he halted my thoughts as he stepped closer, his hand dropped to my thigh pushing it apart so he could stand between my legs. In all this he never looked away. His hand travelled lightly from my thigh to my bare waist. I bit my lip inching closer to him. My hands left the counter and planted themselves on his shoulder for better support. As if my actions gingered him, his eyes dropped to my lips and he lowered his head.A lump formed in my throat. He was going to kiss me, and I wanted that to happen. Heck, I had been dying for this kind of intimacy so much
