“My God!” I exclaimed, my heart racing. I dropped the statue on the floor by my side, I mentally facepalmed myself, realizing my mistake of course it was William swimming in the dark. Classic!“Why didn’t you put on a light or something, I thought maybe someone had broken in.”“Oh aren't you the brightest,” he snorts sarcastically. “Why would someone break in here to take a swim in the pool when there are loads of expensive valuable items littered around the house.”“How was I supposed to know that? I haven’t never broken into someone’s home before so you can’t blame me for trying to protect myself.” I replied defensively.“And you just had to pick one of my antique statues as a weapon?” He asks.“Of course, it makes a good weapon and it’s heavy, you should thank your stars I didn’t throw that thing at you,” I replied pointing at the statue on the floor. I bent down and picked it up, placing it down on one of the lounge chairs so I wouldn’t break it accidentally. “And why are you even

William and I kept talking about random events that had occurred in each other's lives, our conversation flowed smoothly before the ensuing silence as we glanced up at the moon from our respective places in the pool. I glanced at William before looking down at the water as a thought popped into my head.“What?” William asks and I raise my eyes to him.“Nothing,” I say, trying to keep my face neutral so he won’t suspect me, which seemed hard seeing as I was a bit tipsy so my face was stuck in a literal grin. The wine bottle finished a while back and I went in to get another for the both of us.“Your blank face isn’t working.” He says in a slightly amused tone. “Your grin is a dead giveaway, what do you have going on in your head?”“Nothing,” I say without missing a beat. The playful grin on my face only widened as I kicked my feet in the water, sending a splash in William’s direction, spraying him with the splashes.“Stop it.” He says with a slight playfulness in his tone as he wipes h

I woke up the following day, earlier than usual, looking to my side, I noticed William was still in bed, sleeping peacefully, I yawned pausing to look at him sleeping. He looked so peaceful while he slept.I stared at his sleeping form for a bit, before silently getting up from the bed, I put on my slippers while I stretched, strolling out of his room lazily. Still half asleep, I timidly walked over to the bathroom in my room. On getting there, I reached for my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. After that, I stripped out of my clothes and put on a shower cap before walking under the shower head. I ended up spending a longer time in the shower, daydreaming and getting sidetracked. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to get yesterday’s events out of my head.After showering, I walked into the closet picking out a simple white tank top and a black pair of shorts to go with it. I stared at my image in the mirror, combed through my hair, and packed it up with my scrunchie bef

“Mario,” I call as I push the kitchen door open not seeing him inside the kitchen space.“In here.” He calls back from the closed pantry.I make my way there, pushing the door as I stand at the entrance folding my arms. “What are you doing?” I ask watching him as he jotted something down on a small notepad, looking through the things in the pantry.“Organizing and noting down the things I have to get while going grocery shopping.”“I didn’t know you did the grocery shopping here,” I say. Come to think about it, who did I even think did that?“Who did you think did it?” he asks continuing with what he was doing.“I honestly don’t know, I never thought about it,” I answer as I watch him for a few more seconds. “Where's Agatha, I haven’t seen her all morning. Is she coming today?”“I don’t know but I doubt she’ll be coming anymore.” He says and I nod thoughtfully.“Can I tag along when you go grocery shopping?” I ask and he turns to me with slight hesitation. He probably didn’t know how

After grocery shopping, Mario had to leave since his shift was over and I ended up making lunch all by myself. William came back home early again today, he entered the kitchen with a smile on his face.So did that mean that the kiss meant something? I wanted to ask but I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn’t bring down the mood. We had lunch and dinner together having light conversations as we ate before going up to his room to sleep. I went to my room to get showered and changed into my pajamas while William was in his bathroom. I sat on my side of the bed with my legs crossed and the duvet covering my lap as I read the novel I picked up earlier today.William’s phone buzzed on his side table signifying an incoming call.“William,” I call. I didn’t want to check the caller ID so I wouldn’t be intruding on his privacy.“Yeah.” He calls back.“Your phone, it’s ringing.” “Bring it over here.” I roll to his side of the bed and briefly glance at the caller ID before picking up the phone and

William’s p.o.v.It’s been a long time since I’ve been close to any woman but I kissed Bailey at the pool yesterday, I wasn’t even thinking. I just did it and I think I liked it. I came back earlier from the office today so I could have lunch and dinner with her.Despite not admitting it to her, I liked having her around even if she can be very nosy and persistent at times, being around her brings out a side of me that I didn't even know I had.“William,” Bailey calls from the room where she sat with her novel and phone.“Yeah,” I called back from the bathroom.“Your phone, it’s ringing.”“Bring it over here,” I reply as I dry my face with the towel. I walked out of the bathroom as she made her way to the door holding the phone out for me. I take the phone from her, glancing at the caller ID briefly as I swipe accept and place it on my ear.“Mr. Armani, I’m sorry to bother you at this time in the night but I am afraid I have bad news.”“What happened?” I ask cutting him off.“I got an

William’s p.o.vI woke up two hours later and dressed up for work, leaving Bailey as she slept soundly on her side of the bed. On getting to the office, I noticed the building was still moderately empty. I walked up to my office to meet Henry and Luke at the entrance. We sat together, working towards making a proposal that could get Ace Corporation back on board to re-invest in our company.We spent the next couple of hours discussing before sending in a final email. Now all we had to do was play the waiting game and I hated waiting.Knock, knock “Come in,” I respond to whoever was knocking on the other side of the door. Henry walked in with his hands behind his back, I glanced at the time on my laptop and it had been five hours since we sent the email for reconsideration.“What do you have for me?” I ask.A smile forced on Henry’s lips as he walked towards my desk. “They accepted the offer and sent over newly signed documents sir.”“That’s good to hear, have you informed Luke?”“Ind

Bailey’s p.o.vBy the time I woke up the next day, William's side of the bed was cold. I made breakfast for myself before dressing up and asking Cedrick to drop me off at Shayna’s office so I could spend her lunch break with her.“Bailey,” Shayna shouts turning the head of others who were present in the lobby. She runs up to me and engulfs me in a warm hug.“Way to make an entrance,” I respond, laughing as she releases me. “I’ve missed you,” I say, smiling at her.“Same here Hun, I haven’t seen you in a while and the last time we talked was when you came back from Rome.”“True,” I said as we walked our way through the sliding doors of her office building.“Where do you want us to eat?” she asks turning to me.“I’m thinking Daisy’s since we haven’t been there in a minute.”“Alright let’s go,” she replied before pulling me in the direction of the bus station“No need for that, I have Cedrick here with me,” I say and she releases my hand as I lead her to where Cedrick is parked, we get i
