From there, i went to the kitchen, trying not to let my mind wander to the afternoon. I notice she hadn't made any attempt to cook and rebel since I came late, Then i remembered that I had promised to bring my mother somethe . I groaned inwardly, trying to make up an excuse.

Michael POV:Cal was unusually late, I've been waiting for more than 10 minutes, I knew we are yet to settle our previous spat but nonetheless, it was unlike him to come late when I needed him.I allowed my eyes to drift to the Wooden stools butting up against a brass foot rail at a high counter, crowded tables and booths, patrons (laughing with friends, hitting on strangers, watching a TV affixed to the wall or staring into their drinks), a bartender with rolled-up sleeves freshening drinks and filling orders being delivered by wait staff, stacks of highball glasses in green-gray dishwasher racks, a sink with a sprayer, bags of ice in a tray or sink, draining trays, beer kegs being switched out, straws and stirrers, plastic skewers and straws, blenders whirring with colorful icy concoctions, several multi-button soda dispensers, a wall of alcohol bottles, upside-down stem glasses in racks above the bartender’s head, plastic tubs of lime and lemon wedges, fridges with juices, milk and

Aurora POV:I went to work Monday morning with uncertain feelings. I dreaded and anticipated seeing Mr. Angelo again, both at once. I was in my head but couldn't help but notice the glare that was thrown at me. I kept staring scared the pregnancy was showing in my stomach already, I knew that was stupid but was concerned what the strange looks was for. It was almost like everyone of them knew I did something bad. But technically, it was bad but I'm an adult it's none of their business. I was intentional about my feeling but took nothing away from the anxiety I felt about the stare. It got even worse, Mr. Jordan frowned at me, he didn't even say nothing. He just set on the new herd record and left. I couldn't even dare ask him about the recent developments and my query of the party and why he lied to me. I was rather someone would talk to me about the sombre cloud, no one did.Appollos did. He grinned at me as he paused beside ny desk. “I hear you were out at a guy's named micheal pla

Aurora POV:I kept staring at my phone. I had halfway hoped that i might hear from Michael during the day. After all, we are now lovers. But he didn’t call. It was a disappointment, and my confidence took a nosedive. All my hopes began to drown in doubt. I went through her normal routine, answering the phone and taking messages, and typing letters for Mr. Jordan, whom till now has yet to speak to me. Itwas a normal day. Nothing out of the ordinary. I could have cried from disappointment. But that would be low, even for me. Once, I almost picked up the phone and called his office. But that would never do. I couldn’t look as if i was chasing him. Perhaps he just needed breathing space, in order to get used to the changed relationship between us. Surely, it was just that. I hoped.Towards the end of the day I was feeling dismissal, I wondered maybe he had called between the few times I was outside to do one thing or the other, but my phone showed no missed call notifications.
