It was all too obvious today that they had some weird unfinished business going on and I'm determined to find out.I rubbed my forehead, it was really quite annoying that cared so much about this but I couldn't get it out of my head. The way they both locked eyes like some love sick couple of something. I adjusted my suit and stood up, texting my driver to drive up to the building front door.

The smell of hot coffee with cinnamon buns waffed around my nose and I immediately worked up an appetite.We entered inside the cute cafe a few persons were already there but spotted an empty table by the window.

Dante’s POV I woke up already upset, my concise made me toss and turn the whole night.

He advised I stay away from him till I was able to clearly sort out the residue emotions I still had for him else he would manipulate and bend me to his will.As much as I had wanted to deny and claim that I was too healed for that, my reaction to seeing him at the door told me otherwise. A part of me still had feelings for him and I needed to deal with it.This morning I woke up by 4’00am sharp to start preparing what I was to present at the meeting today.

But I'm in town and I'd like the chance to meet up and talk over dinner, please it's really important.”I looked at the text with disdain and of course immediately called my mother, who to my surprise asked me to grant his request.
