"Would you be kind enough to please give me some time?" I asked when he paced around the kitchen. We had been on the subject for a very long time and he wasn't giving me a reasonable response to the question that I had asked earlier. I needed him to agree to this at least so that we would both know the way forward with our lives. I will give anything to be his friend but I don't think I'm ready for any sort of relationship at the moment. Maybe in the future when everything is sorted out in my life, I might reconsider but for now, I don't think I want to."I really don't think it's time that you need Olivia." He answered much to my surprise. I looked at him trying to figure out what he meant by that statement but I couldn't get anything out of it."And what do you mean by that?""You're just looking for ways to avoid me and run away from me and if I should give him to this request of yours then I'm one hundred percent sure that you won't try to be friends again or at least try to get c
OLIVIA.I couldn't believe that Davion had suggested that and I couldn't believe that I had agreed to do that with him. Why on earth would I agree to do that? And for what purpose? Davion was supposed to be my best friend and now we were on the verge of becoming potential fuck buddies which I had consented to. Shit!In a way I felt trapped but I also felt relieved that I had decided to do that. Maybe that's what we both needed instead of being all up in each other's business. What can I say? We were both adults that needed each other to be in their lives one way or the other."Hi." He called and I turned to look at him. I thought he had left already."I went inside to get my stuff." He said as if reading my thoughts."Oh, it's okay. There's no issue at all." I answered, clearly unsure of myself and what I was feeling at that point."Okay." He walked up to me and placed a kiss on my lips which I reciprocated. "I'll see you at the office. Don't be late buddy." He smiled at me before wa
DAVION."Sir are you listening?" Karla, my secretary asked jolting me back from my thoughts. I haven't been myself all morning especially not after what Olivia had said to me in her house. I just don't understand what she's so scared or afraid of. I thought that after she had accepted me as her friend Ricky she will be more open and more accommodating to me but the reverse has always been the case when it comes to Olivia.I really want her to know that I care about her but how can I do that when she wants absolutely nothing to do with me at this point I don't even know what to say to her that will make her understand that I am not like the men she has been with in her past. I am different but it's like she doesn't even believe me."Sir?" Karla called out again and I flinched. I looked around to see everyone in the meeting staring right back at me. Today is just not my day."What were you talk about again?" I asked and she looked at me as though I had said something abominable. My hea
DAVION."Olivia and I go way back. She's my childhood friend." I started and threw Karla a knowing look to see if she was listening or not. The look on her face told me that she was very well invested in my story which prompted me to continue with whatever I wanted to say."I can't believe this. Olivia is your friend? Why didn't you tell me any of this when the first article about her came out? I would have easily said it on the news to tone down the rumours that flew around causing problems for the two of you." She accused and I blew out a deep breath."I wanted to tell you all of this. Believe me I hated myself everyday because I knew that I had lied to you and I knew that you would never forgive me if you had found out about this but the only reason I decided to keep quiet about it was because I didn't want to scare her off." I said in my defense. "You and I are best friends Karla and hiding things from you always makes me so upset and uncomfortable in ways that you cannot even be
DAVION.I arrive at my office and rounded the table to take my seat. I just wanted nothing more but for the day to be over so that I will go back home and rest. I can't think straight and I have been blowing up all the meetings I had to do with all my investors because I couldn't bring myself to think properly. Karla has been trying her very best to lift my spirits and has taken most of my duties but for how long will she do that? I am the CEO. the owner of this company so I was supposed to stand and do my job but so far I can't do anything.The more I thought about it, the more angrier it made me become. I know that suggesting that we should become friends with benefits would bring an issue between us but I just wanted to be selfish for one time in my life.Olivia had always tried her very best to put herself first before anybody. She doesn't give a damn about what the other person feels or how badly a decision affects the other person so why should I not take the bull by the reins
DAVION."Are you okay boss? Do you want me to come back later so that we can continue?" Karla asked and Davion raised a finger at her. Of course he wasn't going to let her do that. For how long was he going to hide from Olivia? And if he should continue doing such then his business would suffer and it would only bring more problems for both of them. He can't risk it. He really can't. There's a lot of people waiting for him in this company and a lot of people also depends on this company to feed and manage themselves so he can't risk it no matter what."It's alright Karla. Just please, continue with whatever it is you're doing please. I'll try to get over it." He assured her, hoping that he could also get the same assurance to himself but he knew deep down that it was not worth it to say the very least. Olivia would never see him differently no matter how hard he tried and you just have to accept that fact for what it is."You've been trying to get over it but I don't think you can ge
OLIVIA."Oh my goodness Davion. I've missed you so damn much baby boo!" She squealed excitedly and pecked him on the cheeks. He tried to pull her off him but he couldn't and I just stood there with a confused look on my face which wasn't even helping matters right now.She looks so familiar. I feel like I've met her before or seen her somewhere but I can't think of the exact place we've met. I tried to rack my brain for answers but everything came back blank. Who is this lady and how does she know Davion?Were they lovers, friends, colleagues or maybe business partners? The more I tried to think about it the more confused it gets me. They couldn't be friends, neither are they just colleagues? There was something off about her. And with the way she presented herself I felt like they were more than friends. Maybe they were in a relationship together. But Davion had told me that he doesn't have a girlfriend neither does he have a woman in his life so then who could she be? Or are my eye
OLIVIA.I tried to put in two and two together. Sabrina? Why does that name sound so effing familiar? I'm very sure that I have heard this name before but I don't know where and exactly how I have heard it. It sounds so familiar and for the life in me I know that is related to something but how come Davion knows about her and how come they are so close to each other?He had told me that he didn't have any female friends of his very own and that he had grown up lonely because he couldn't associate more with people so how on Earth did they become friends? and why was she hugging on him like a lost puppy that was found in a pond?"I'm very sorry Sabrina but you can't come to my house." Davion turned her down and judging from the look of things she doesn't look all that pleased that he had refused her."What do you mean by I can't come to your house? We have always hanged out together so why can't I come to your house now?""Well first of all, you just came back from a very long trip tha
