Chapter 21 — The Elevator

LYDIA'S POV"Maya."She looked up from her desk the moment I walked in."Yes ma'am?""These flowers." I set them on the corner of her desk. "Who sent them? Was there a card? Anything?"She shook her head. "Nothing ma'am. I came in this morning and met them at my desk. The card on it only had your name, Lydia Shaw, that was all."I looked at the flowers. Yellow roses, it was wrapped clean with no card, just my name."No one came in asking for me? No delivery person, nothing?""Nothing ma'am, I met them lying on my desk."I picked them back up."Okay," I said. "Thank you."I went into my office, closed the door and stood there holding yellow roses that had nothing attached to them.Ethan knocked and came in at ten."You busy?" he said."Never for you, sit."He sat across from my desk, looked at the flowers I had put in the corner by the window and looked at me."Don't ask again," I said."I wasn't going to, I already saw them this morning." He opened the folder in his hand. "Sub file is

LYDIA'S POVNobody moved for a full three seconds. Then Ethan did.He walked toward where David and I were standing with our hands still connected. He stopped in front of us and looked down at our joined hands and then up at David.He didn't say a word. David looked at him, the looks between the men wasn’t professional or friendly.

CHAPTER 23 — YOU ARE MINE.

DAVID'S POVNina didn't stop talking the entire drive home. I wasn't listening to her noise but I heard maybe three sentences of it. Something about embarrassment, professionalism, how she stood in the corridor watching me hold another woman's hand in front of everyone. I kept my eyes on the road without saying a word.She kept talking into my ears. I parked.She was still talking when we got into the elevator. I opened the apartment door. She kept talking all the way to the bedroom. I sat on the edge of the bed without taking my clothes off.She followed me in."Are you even listening to me?" she said."No," I said."I need an explanation. We have to talk.""There's nothing to talk about, Nina.""There is everything to talk about. You held her hand. In front of everyone." Her voice cracked slightly. "Do you know how that felt?"I stood up."Nina, I don't need this. I have had a long day," I said, moving to the bathroom.She blocked me. "David, why do you keep avoiding this conversati

Chapter 24 — The Move

LYDIA'S POV"Late nights are non negotiable from this point."David stood at the head of the table with the project timeline on the screen behind him and looked at both teams like he was delivering good news."Phase two kicks off Monday, the deadline is tight and the client does not negotiate on delivery dates." He clicked to the next slide. "We will need evening sessions three times a week minimum. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Both teams present."Murmurs around the table.I didn’t look up.Three evenings a week, David Cole was standing at the head of a table looking at me like he was talking to everyone but speaking to me specifically.I kept writing."Any issues with that?" he said.Nobody spoke."Good." He clicked to the next slide. "Let's get into the structural breakdown."We were forty minutes into the meeting when Ethan's phone vibrated on the table.He glanced at it. Frowned slightly and looked at me."Sorry." He leaned toward me and lowered his voice. "Patricia, she ne

CHAPTER 25 — "Will you marry me?"

DAVID'S POVThe building had gone quiet by the time Lydia walked into my office. No knock, just the door opening and closing behind her and then she was standing there in the middle of the room with her bag on her shoulder and her eyes on me and I knew before she opened her mouth exactly what this was about.I leaned back in my chair."Hey—""Why did you do it?""Did what?""You recommended Ethan for promotion, I know you did, I want to know why?"I looked at her, leaning forward. "You don't have proof, you can't accuse me of anything and if he got a promotion, that's good for him, don't you think?""What?" Her voice rose, her hands flat on my desk. "You moved him, yes or no?" She looked at me, with those beautiful, irresistible eyes of hers that drew me close to her the first time I saw her at the beach in Los Angeles."Yes," I fell for her eyes and the truth was out. "Yes, I did, so what?"She stared at me."You had absolutely no right," she said."This is my zone and I can do what

Chapter 26— "I WON'T STEP DOWN"

DAVID'S POVThe crowd was still waiting. Phones up, music still playing. Nina on her feet with a ring out and a smile."I need all phones down. Nina, what is the meaning of this charade?" I asked with a straight face."Charade? You haven't answered my question. Will you marry me?" Nina said with a serious face, this was clearly no joke."Listen," I whispered into her ear. "I appreciate you doing this, but this is embarrassing. I need you all out now. Thank you guys." I said, dismissing the eager crowd waiting for a "yes" reply from me.Nina's face turned red, but I didn't care. I needed her party crowd out of my building. She tried to calm them down with sweet words as they left.My eyes found Lydia. She was already looking away.She turned to Ethan and whispered into his ear. He nodded. They moved toward me. She stopped."Congratulations, David," she said with her arms crossed. "A woman proposing to you? That's new." She gave a brief smile. "You deserve it. Congratulations to you both

CHAPTER 27- "THE KISS"

LYDIA'S POVI fought back the tears in my eyes. I held it all together through the cab ride home, till I was standing at my front door. I took in a deep breath and exhaled. I didn't want Noah to see me this way. I got in, Sandra was ready to leave."Welcome, ma'am Lydia. Noah slept early today and he is already in bed. You need something?""I'm fine," I said. "Thank you, Sandra. Goodnight."The door clicked shut behind her.I walked straight to the bathroom and closed the door.I was standing in front of my mirror, looking at myself. My makeup was still intact. Hair still in place but my heart was cracked. I couldn't understand why. The thought of Nina's proposal sat still on my chest. I tried so hard to fight it off. I should be happy, right?I grabbed a wipe from the counter and started removing my makeup. The mascara came off first, then the foundation. The wipe came down, dark.I grabbed another one. The thought of Nina in her red dress, the velvet box, the question "Will you marr

CHAPTER 28 — The Pavement

LYDIA'S POV"That's enough for tonight," David said, closing his folder. "We pick up again at eight."Chairs pushed back, laptops closed, people gathered their things. The conference room emptied out around us. Marcus was the last to leave, his eyes moving between David and me before he pulled the door shut.I packed my bag and checked my phone. Ethan had sent a text twenty minutes ago. "Hey Lydia, I am sorry I won't be picking you up, something came up very urgent, I made arrangement for a cab, text back when you get home. Okay?" I put the phone into my bag and then looked up. David was standing in front of me with his hands in his pockets."You ready to leave?" he asked."Yes, thank you." I hurried out of the conference room, going downstairs.The lobby was empty. The security guard at his desk nodded at me. I pushed through the glass doors and stood outside with my bag on my shoulder.The city was still moving, car horns everywhere. I called Sandra."He's asleep, ma'am," she said.

CHAPTER 29 — Worst Nightmare

I drove in with my hand still on my cheek, the impact of that hit still sitting on my face, my mouth trying to find its balance. I got home. The lights were on. Nina was standing in the living room with her arms crossed, standing like she had been there for hours.She turned her phone around."I need an explanation," she yelled, pointing out the photo of me and Lydia kissing on the pavement. It was as clear as day.I looked at it then back at her. "You keeping tabs on me now?"Nina's face went red. She pushed the phone closer, her hand was shaking."Don't do that, don't you dare turn this around." Her voice cracked. "You kissed her, right outside your building. In front of God knows who saw. Why the fuck did you kiss her, David?""I don't owe you an explanation." I looked straight into her eyes, with my hands massaging my jaw.She grabbed and pulled me close, pressing her lips forcefully on mine. I pushed her away."What the hell is wrong with you?" I said, wiping her craziness from m

CHAPTER 30 — ON THE FENCE

The roses were on my desk again, yellow, same as before. And next to them, a white teddy bear with a red ribbon around its neck.I stopped in the doorway.Maya was already at her desk, watching me. "He dropped them off himself this morning, said it belonged to you."I walked in slowly. My hand moved through the bear's ear. Soft and small. I thought about Noah, about the bear on his bed, about how David bought this without knowing anything about his son.I picked up the bear and held it close to me for a moment. Then I carried it to the corner where the yellow roses were and set it down beside them. Roses on one side, bear on the other.Maya followed me with a cup of coffee and set it on the desk. Then she closed the door and sat down without being asked.I looked at her. "I know you. Don't bother.""I haven't said anything." I chuckled."You were about to.""I was going to ask if you wanted sugar." Maya picked up the cup and handed it to me. "But you don't take sugar."I chuckled.Maya
