91. DESMOND'S POV"Ahhh. I'd love you accompany. I like that girl." She squeeze my hands over the desk. "But you know in life, they're some things you have to do by yourself, and this is one of those things." I let out a deep breath. "You're correct. Thanks for the talk.""Anytime, son." She beams at me and walks out.Clark rushes in behind her and start reciting my schedule. I sigh, I can't get anything he's saying. They're just entering in through one ear, and flying out through the other. This is fucking frustrating! I slam my desktop shut, and Clark shakes from the force. He compose himself and stare at me with furrowed brows. I ignore him, and stand to my feet, adjusting my tie. I walk towards the door."Sir, are you heading to the first meeting?" He says, following. "Sir, you have a lot of—"I step out of the office and spin, glaring at Clark who's still inside. "Reschedule the meetings." I respond and slam the door nosily in his face and board an elevator down. I can't be craz

092. MONIQUE'S POVI stretch and yawn as I stir in bed. Can I just sleep forever, and not wake up? Stop it, that's a silly thing to say. I shouldn't wish to end my life bo matter how tough things are. I should take a deep breath and hold on because things will work out. And about sleeping, I don't think I want to do that if Desmond knocking on my door is what I'll see in my dreams. I snuggle on my bed, and pull my blankets up to my chest. I miss my best friend. I need my Mom. I sigh and stare at the ceiling. Desmond really thinks an apology can erase what he did? He broke any bit of trust I had left in him, or any hopes for a future together. I glance around the crampy apartment I stay in. I don't want to be in Chicago anymore or anywhere near Desmond, but my rent isn't due yet. I can't waste cash anyhow because technically I'm jobless now. I doubt Ryan would give me the job now. I want to pay Rose a visit at the hospital but no body wants to see me or even listen to my pathetic apo

093. MONIQUE'S POV My face drops when I unlock the door and step out to see that it's just a live band and that means ibwon't get to kill Desmond. Why the hell is he disturbing the peace of this calm neighbourhood? I sniff in the strong scent of rose flowers that's littered on my porch. There's balloon attached to glittering strings and floating in the air. The trumpeters and drummers are arranged orderly in playing good music. This looks like some high priced engagement out of a circus. I can spot my neighbors watching from their doorsteps and windows with smiles on their faces. And then there's Desmond in the center of it all, looking so haggard like he haven't slept in the last two weeks. He steps forward and parts his lips about to speak."What the hell are you doing?" I ask through gritted teeth, glancing around. "I don't know if this is...over the top." He sighs and drops to one knee. The music drops down to a background hum. "But, I just couldn't think of a better way to sa

094. MONIQUE'S POV "Maybe, that's because I love her more." I shout in Ryan's face.Ryan twist his lips and stops himself from saying anything more. We glare at each other long and hard. We breath heavily."Ryan, we've both been involved in scandalous taboo relationships. It's not something to fight or compete about. Just one simple request, let me go in and see her. If she doesn't want to see me, then fine I'll leave, and I won't disturb y'all again."Micah glance between Ryan and I. Ryan steps backwards, and Micah let's go of us. He nods in the direction of rose's door."Thank you." I roll my box straight to the room. I knock once and open the door. Rose is laying on the bed, her body is connected to machines. Her eyes are closed, and her stomach looks smaller. I smile, I think she had the baby. I drop my box by the door and walk around to the bed head.She stirs and slowly opens her eyes. She press her lips in and close her eyes again. "Monique." She groans in a low voice and reop

095. DESMOND'S POV It's been three days since she threatened to call the cops on me. She didn't like the last romantic gesture I arranged for her but that doesn't mean I should give up. I'll keep on showing up until I've weared her off, she's tired and can't run away from me. I put a few calls across to the couples make out organization that Jane referred me to and it seems they're very professional and good at what they do. They've planned a huge romantic surprise today at Monique's place, after listening and putting together everything about her likes and dislikes. I feel happy now that the whole office is rallying behind me, although it also have something to do with the rise in salary I promised. Oh fuck, I'll have to work ten times harder the next week to come if I don't want to become liquid. I adjust my suit jacket as I stare at my reflection through the mirror. I look good. I smell nice. That's all the romantic team advised me to do, smell nice and look good and the lady is
