DAVION."Shit!" I cussed out loudly at the impact of the coffee that had just stained my shirt. How did I go from arguing to fighting over a cup of coffee with this woman? The things she makes me do is just out of this world."I'm so sorry Sir." She apologized while I tried to wipe off the stains with my hands as if it would make any difference if I do. I stood up from my chair and darted my eyes to the transparent glass to see my already ruined dress."I honestly didn't mean to. If you had just listened and stopped arguing with me then none of this would've happened." She cried out. Her voice had taken a higher note."I only asked you to serve me coffee but you just decided to be Ursula instead."She glared at me wide-eyed. "What did you just call me?""See?" I pointed to myself. "We're arguing again and I haven't even fixed this first problem yet.""And that's because you always get on my nerves." She countered. "Every time, you do so say something that always sets me off. I'm begi
OLIVIA.Damn!Those were the words that escaped my lips as I saw Davion's chest on full display. This man had a lot of assets that was always hidden in those rippling t-shirts and designer suits. How on earth does he look so good being shirtless. He could pass on for a male model in Victoria secrets and no, I'm not exaggerating.The mors I stared at his bare chest, the more engrossed I became and does it feel weird that I actually wanted to touch it? Damn, I'd give anything to touch those hunk of abs that were staring at me right in the face.Come to think of it, I believe that I had already had my share of feeling those abs in my palm. The night when we ended up together, I could've sworn that I ran my hands over them. We had sex naked so it's only proper that I had touched them.I blinked rapidly, taking in the sight in front of me. This man was loaded. Why on earth did I ask him to go shirtless again? Yeah, right!I'm supposed to wash his shirts but suddenly, I think I preferred h
OLIVIA.I made my way out of my office and after gently shutting the door behind me, I took the route that led to Davion's office and stroded towards it. When I arrived, I stood at the entrance and contemplated if I should knock or simply ignore. I chose the later after much hesitation and when I heard his voice giving me the go ahead, I opened the door to make my way through but stopped abruptly.Going in like this meant seeing him shirtless. I might not be able to do anything about it but at least, I can prevent my eyes from drowning in the ocean of his bare, sleek sinew of his chest."Are you not coming?" He urged and after taking a deep breath. I turned my back and slowly made my way backwards into his office.I heard his loud echo of deep chuckle when he saw me but I couldn't care less. I would not loose myself the second time because of him no matter who comes short. He could do whatever he did and laugh at me however he wanted to but it simply isn't going to change a damn thin
DAVION.I tried to stifle my laugh when she closed her eyes. She must have thought that I wanted to kiss her. I mean, I do. I would give anything in the world to have a taste of those lush, plump lips and in a very sober mood this time around. Her eyelash settled perfectly to frame her face and I took my time to admire the beauty standing in front of me. The last time I did have a taste, we were both drunk and neither of us were able to savor the moment properly.I would give anything to go back to that day and I would give anything to have warned myself not a take a drink or get drunk because I would be meeting Olivia but I didn't and besides, wishes weren't horses that we could ride.They were merely a fiction of our imagination. Plus, everything definitely happens for a reason. If I had been in the right frame of mind, I probably would not do anything to hurt Olivia. I knew that no matter what happens, I wouldn't be able to get intimate with her because I wasn't that type of perso
DAVION.I made my way outside the company's building with Olivia trailing a few feet behind me. I had no idea why she chose to stay that far away when we were literally going towards the same direction. I think it's because maybe, she doesn't want anyone spotting us together.She had always talked about how much she hated this place and how nosy the people were so it's only given that she tries to stay away from them as much as possible.We arrived at the parking lot and I opened up the door for her. She got in immediately and I shut the door after her before taking the wheel. Once seated, I started the ignition and pulled out of the building.The ride to her house was quiet and I couldn't help but wonder why? Olivia was never the one to keep quiet about anything. She always said something and made sure to give me an earful at the slightest so I don't know why she was suddenly quiet.Was she still feeling shy about what had happened earlier? Or was it my imagination playing tricks on
OLIVIA.When Davion had told me that he had a surprise for me, I couldn't believe it at first. I wasn't the one that was too keen on surprises and so, it piqued my interest. What exactly was the surprise that he was so excited to share with me?And when he had given me the envelope, I couldn't help but rack my brain on what it was about but when I opened it, I received the greatest shock of my life.There it was. Pictures of my mother fully awake on her hospital bed stacked up and embedded there. Davion had taken pictures of her secretly when she woke up and had brought them for me."She..." Words failed me to convey the emotions that I was actually feeling inside. "She's awake?" My voice choked with emotions as I felt the tear stray down my cheeks. "When? How did this happen? Why didn't the hospital call me?""Because I told them not to. I wanted to give you the good news myself and besides, I wanted to be the first to se that look on your face while I broke down the news to you as
OLIVIA."Tell me everything that had happened dear." Mom cajoled me. I was seated on the side of her hospital bed. Her hands were firmly held in mine and judging by how strong they were, I could tell that she was okay and getting better. Even her pale skin had added a little bit of color and she looked more alive than ever. I loved that she was okay. I loved that I got to see her like this. It means so much to me. "I've missed out so much that I think that I've been jetlagged." She laughed but I could see the pain through her eyes. She was hurt that she had been admitted here all her life.Mom was the type of person who loved fun. She loved to hang out and she was a sucker for romance and everything that would put a smile on her face. She loved being adventurous. She loved to travel and take the world under her feet. That's why when the news of her being diagnosed with cancer came into light, she couldn't bear it at all. It was like a piece of her had been removed and buried. Not to
OLIVIA."I can't wait to be discharged from this hospital. I'll feel so much at peace when I leave this shithole." Mom cussed and I couldn't help but laugh."Language mama. We're in a hospital." I hushed her like a child but she only smiled. We had been discussing non stop and for the first time in ages, I feel a lot lighter than I have ever felt in my entire life. It was like a new me had been reborn and I couldn't help the sudden rush of adrenaline in my veins at the moment. Everything was slowly falling into place. Clinton thought that he had me in a bind when he had refused to treat mother but I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes that she is very much alive and well."You don't think I know that. It feels so good to cuss out once in a while and I feel so extremely happy about it.""Judging by the happy smile on your face, I can tell that you do. It's showing. Just look at how much you're glowing." I teased and she laughed at my efforts of trying to be funny.
