“That has to be one of the dumbest thing you've done Chloe.” Emery shook her head. “You really don't learn your lesson, do you?” At that point, I couldn't even say anything, because geez, I hadn't felt dumber. But of course, my pride was still in existence, because I rose to my feet, shoulders straightening. “Why do you guys act like it's so much of a big deal?” I rolled my eyes. “It's just us staying in the same country, but different hotels, different space and likely little time we'll have to see each other. So all your worrying is just proving to be unnecessary in case you don't know.” “Right—” “It's okay.” I cut her off, already making my way to my room. “This is something I don't want to discuss any further. Drop it.” Her cheeks bloomed, but she didn't say any more, instead scoffed and was off to her room, while I went to mine. Angry at myself, but not ready to dwell on that, I left all forms of work needed and just went straight to bed. ~ When I woke up, it was already

“How long have you been here?” Those were the first words that left my mouth, brows dipped the deepest.He strode over, stopping right in front of me with a face devoid of expression. “Long enough to know you and Cole aren't a thing.”I had to suck in a breath to prevent cussing, because seriously?Seriously??!!!How the heck could I seriously have been careless?Careless enough to scream something I was supposed to keep secluded.I didn't even want to know how Emery would react. Whatever her reason for keeping Donald, might end up in the open if I didn't do anything.She might actually suffer for it in the end.Obviously that was something I wasn't going to sit and watch happen, but I also wasn't going to be the most obvious person, so I asked;“Why are you here? What on earth are you doing in my neighborhood?” My hands flew to my hips. “Don't tell me you're actually stalking me now Mr Beldson.”A ghost of what looked like a smirk pulled up his lips. “Do I really look like I'd stop d

I stared at him for a moment before stepping back slightly, my heart beating way too fast for its own good.“What frame are you talking about?” The words left lower than intended, but I managed to cover any hint of gruffness from my nervousness in them.“One of your mom, as I said.” He simply replied, and goodness, I just had to wonder if the way this guy made me feel was one-sided. “And a necklace. Something I'm sure would be better in your hands.”I couldn't agree more, and so, there I was, ten minutes later, sitting on the passenger's seat of his car and on my way to his house.A place I shouldn't be.This might be a dumb idea.In fact, it was one.Heading to my ex-husband's house in the night most certainly was dumb.I'd been making a lot of dumb decisions lately, so yeah.Also, my heart ached thinking of a memory of my parents.It always did.When he pulled over in front of his place, my heart warmed slightly as I stared at the exterior.It was exactly the same as where we used t

~ Dale ~My heart ached as I watched Chloe's lips tremble slightly, obviously fighting back tears.But the moment my eyes locked on hers, she grew stiff, snapping me to the fact I had my hands on her.And goodness, she had the softest cheeks ever, I found myself aching to bite it.Place it between my teeth and suck on it till I got something out.Had it really always been that soft? How come I never noticed?Not once in our two years of marriage did I notice she had the cheek of an angel.My thumb refused to drop from it, and even so much as took to rubbing it slightly.And then her lips moved, but this time when my eyes trailed to it, that urge to just kiss her rushed over.I recalled all the kisses we'd spent and how damn succulent her lips were.Beautifully sweet.Goodness, I wanted to taste her again.And from the way she bit her lower lip, I was sure she felt the same way.Just when I was about to lean closer, the door opened, causing both heads to snap to where Tina stood.Oh sh

~ Nora ~The car came to a halt in front of Amber's mansion, while I took to reapplying my lipstick as the door was opened by a guard.Once out, I held onto the red purse that certainly matched the red sleeveless crop top with black baggy jean trousers.With my chest puffed out slightly, I pranced in, my hips doing their usual swaying just in case Dale was inside and might notice me.When I got in and noticed he wasn't there, my body straightened. It took much effort to not roll my eyes, considering that my efforts on fashion was just a waste of time.“Oh good, you're here.” Amber, who was sitting on the couch and had her back to me, greeted, waving me over.“Yeah, what's up?” It was only once I reached there and could fully notice her, that my eyes caught the blue eyed female beside her.Tina.One girl who never bothered to hide her hatred for me. Especially after Dale's divorce.Something she always said she was certain I had something to do with it.“Oh Tina, when did you get back?

~ Chloe ~“Is this really a smart idea?” Emery asked as I did the final blushing of my cheeks, then slipped on the dark blue heels which match my dark blue denim shorts with a baby pink long sleeved top.“I mean, traveling all the way to another continent is a whole lot.” She continued while I grabbed a purse, dropping my phone and necessary things in it. “And you'll be there all alone at that. With no one but your ex, and a guy we all know why you two aren't compatible.”A small sigh escaped as I just shook my head. “Girl, we've discussed this already. I don't get why you think it's okay to bring it up an hour before my flight.”And truthfully, we'd discussed it tons of times already.Ever since Kanyin’s data set calculations came to the conclusion that it'd be a good idea to start the project in Nigeria, Emery wouldn't stop letting me in on her disapproval of this all.“I'm just saying…” She followed behind as soon as I left my room, heading to the parlor where Donald and Cole were

Thankfully, we hadn't sat beside each other in the plane.I was a whole lot of distance from where he sat and there was no need for us to interact the entire journey.A journey that lasted till ten p.m.Where the problem occurred though, was once we were in Nigeria, and had our personal drivers take us to our respective hotels.Something totally normal and an even perfect way of not having to come in contact with him.Not until I get to the hotel and guess what?There stood Dale, his driver behind him with a traveller's bag in hand.Wait, what?Why was he there? What was Dale doing there?My brows furrowed because I was certain I'd specifically told Kanyin to get me a hotel different from that of Dale's.Of course I did.So what?Why was he here?Smoothly, I strode over, trying (in vain) to maintain some composure while willing my creased forehead to smoothen.“Why are you here?” The words came sharper than intended, earning nothing but a plain sideways glance from him.“The same reas

~ Dale ~This was the first day of the project foreseeing and Chloe didn't bother to hide her disapproval of my presence the entire time.She had her shoulders straightened, chest puffed and an expression colder than ice.But if she thought that would make me back out, then damn she'd never been wrong.In fact, seeing this version of her was actually nice.She was as cute as ever.The entire day went by with my gaze unwilling to leave her, and even more so when our eyes met.I loved the way she'd tense slightly before looking away.The day would've been perfect if I didn't get a call when I was back at my hotel room.A call from Nora.One that reminded me of the wedding to come.Initially, I ignored it. But when she called again, I hesitantly answered.“What?” My tone was dry, but didn't hide my disinterest in talking to her.“Hi.” She had a hint of cheeriness to her tone.Something that reminded me of when we were still best friends, and how I wouldn't get this irritated hearing her

“Why are you here?” I asked, repeating her question.“Same.” Her reply was with a sigh. One that reminded me of that night. The night I'd caught her and Cole having an argument where she'd said he wasn't her boyfriend.Just that word caught me more than ever.Its meaning wasn't clear, but one thing my brain grabbed was the possibility of her being single.The fact she was not with any guy. She wasn't with Cole.And geez, my body jubilated at that little idea far more than it should have.Which was why I hadn't even cared about anything else but to bring her over to my place and almost give her a kiss.A kiss I yearned for at that moment.But decided against it.Instead asked, “Is this because of you and Cole?”Maybe it was my imagination, but I thought her shoulders tensed slightly.“Why do you ask?”“I overheard you both talking then.” Her arms wrapped around her as the chilly night breeze swept past us.Goodness, how my body wanted to wrap around her so badly.Once again, she sigh

~ Chloe ~My heart raced faster than my legs as I rushed to the hotel, heading straight to my room.The moment I was in and could be certain I'd locked the door, my hands flew to my hair, raking right into it.“Oh shoot. Shoot shoot shoot.” I muttered, pacing back and forth as though that'd take back all that just took place.That night, sleep wasn't a friend.In fact, I'd never seen an enemy like my thoughts.Because my mind wouldn't leave the scene that just took place.The fact when he'd leaned beside me against the pillar, my body went into a full bolt of shock, trailing down my system.And the moment I noticed it to be him, a calm rushed through me.A calm that birthed desire.My entirety had wanted to be in his arms so badly that I had to hug myself to prevent from doing something dumb.And so when he'd pulled me in for the kiss, no objections were made.None at all.Then to think of his erection. His huge self hitting me like ‘hot.How that alone had me in the mood.Oh shoot.W
