Joshua came back some minutes later with a plastic bag containing their order.
"What took you so long?" Aletta asked as he entered the car. He has not spent a long time there but she wanted to tease him so badly."Oh well you know, the people there recognized me as their saviour so to escape I had to do this whole signing event" Joshua said sarcastically."Sarcastic much," Aletta said starting the car."That's what you get for teasing me""I did not tease you, I only asked an honest question""Should we take our time from work and go camping?" Joshua asked suddenly out of the blue."Camping? Out in the woods?""Yeah camping" Joshua said like he wondering why she was explaining what camping meant to him."Have you ever been camping before?" Aletta asked."You really do think I haven't done a lot of things because of my status right?" Joshua asked and Aletta looked out the window in embarrass"What is this an interview? Why are your questions so formal" Joshua asked and Aletta glared at him."What do you mean formal? I just wanted to get to know you, is that a bad thing?" she countered with a question."It's not a bad thing but I sense you are going somewhere, what do you want to know?" "Nothing" her voice came out squeaky and loud as if she was hiding something from him."Now you are even more suspicious" he said and she laughed."Okay let's get serious now" she said and he nodded."Is this about Paul?" he asked and she nodded. She wondered how he was able to decipher that without her saying a word."I thought as much, did Alethea later tell you about him?" he asked and she nodded again."It seems like he is hovering over me but I want you to know I have never kept in touch with him. This is the first time I am hearing from him in five years" she rambled.He chuckled. "You are laughing?" s
"I don't want to let go" Joshua murmured.Aletta peeled herself from his grip that he called a hug and smiled at his face. "Do you want to come in?" she asked and his face lit up in a bright smile. "Can I?" "Of course," she said with a nod."Wait what of your mom? Doesn't she share a room with you?" "What does that have to do with you coming in?" she asked confused."Wait aren't you asking me to spend the night here?" he asked and her eyes went open with extreme shock."What are you saying?" she asked hitting his chest" playfully."I can swear that I saw your eyes saying those exact words when you looked at me," he told her as he tilted his head."I was only inviting you in for coffee okay only coffee" she said."But it's so late at night why do we need coffee?" "We can take decaf" she explained and his mouth went into an oh shape as if he had not thought about that before now.
"Is every one asleep?" Aletta whispered as they say in the car watching the silent house. All the lights inside the house were switched off and the house looked peaceful.She has given in to Joshua's pestering. He has somehow managed to convince her to pack a bag and go with him. His smug expression showed that he was glad he won. Aletta wanted to be here but she was not sure if she should. They had announced their relationship only two nights ago what would his parents think when they see her there? "Of course, it's past two am" Joshua whispered back taking her hand. "Let me just go back, I don't want to wake anyone" Aletta continued in a whisper."You can't go back on your word, you already promised to spend the night with me" Joshua whispered back squeezing her hand. "But why are we whispering?" he asked and his eyes went wide."Because" she began and stopped because she did not know what to say. Joshua raised his eyebrow as if to mo
"That hurts" Aletta let out as soon as the methylation spirit touched the exposed wound on the smallest toe."I thought it was nothing?" Joshua was not happy that she had wanted to write it off like it was not a big deal."It hurts because of what you are adding to it," Aletta said glaring at him."Stay still, we are almost done," he said as she gently dressed the wound."You seem great with a lot of things I mean you are great at work, with wounds, what other things are you great with?" Aletta asked.Joshua was not sure if he heard right or if it was the proximity between them but it sure felt like she was openly flirting with him."Are you flirting with me?" "No" she screamed in defense" "You know you'd sound suspicious if you act that way" Joshua said with a smirk cleaning up the mess that he had made with the first aid box."I don't know what you are talking about" Aletta said scrunching her nose
"Good morning young master, the lady of the house would like to have you downstairs for breakfast" Angel said entering the room.She stopped at the foot of the bed as she watched Joshua's strong hands holding Aletta tightly. She would have taken a picture of the scene if it was not creepy.She knew Joshua like the palm of her hand and seeing him this in love meant that anyone could find love as well. She watched the scene as her eyes flickered from both the figures on the bed. Aletta shifted in his arms as she scratched her face lightly. Her eyes fluttered open as she looked around the room. Her eyes came in direct contact with Angel standing at the foot of the bed staring at them so fondly."Ahhh" Aletta screamed forcing her way from his grip and sitting up in bed."What is it?" Joshua asked jolting out of his sleep and sitting up right in bed. His eyes darted to Angel and his hands ran through his hair that was scattered from sleeping.
"Let's watch a movie" Aletta announced.They had been lying in bed all morning and she began to feel her back get sore. "A movie?" Joshua asked."Yes a movie, I thought you said it was a day of fun?" "Yes it is a day of fun" "Then why aren't we doing anything fun?" Aletta was confused. Was sleeping all day something he considered fun?"Being with you?" he said in a dramatic tone. "Is enough fun for me" he added. She shivered as she felt goosebumps cover her entire body."What is that?" she said with a laugh as she hit his arm gently."I mean it, I am having so much fun just laying here with you, are you not having any fun?" She was not sure if he was being sarcastic or serious because his time sounded like both at the same time."I am having fun but what I thought you meant was that we do fun activities together" Aletta said."We can do that" he said finally sitting up in bed. "Or
'Tonight is our first date, I hope you are ready' Jeanne glanced at her phone in the meeting room.It was a text from Thiago and he wanted to check up on her availability for the date he had suggested. She was thrilled to be going on the date but she did not want it to show because it would give it away that she also fell for him at first sight.'Of course, I did not forget, I will see you after work' she typed back to him, locked her phone and dropped it on the table."We are having dinner to congratulate Rachel and Noah on their wedding" one girl announced as soon as the meeting was over.The meeting hall erupted with murmurs of joy and congratulations. Some went as far as to talk about how good it was to be in a relationship with a co-worker. Some even spoke about how they would love to find love as well."That's good" "That's wonderful news" "I am so happy for them, they both found love at the workplace"
"Can you see that?" "See what?" Two girls from Jeanne's team were standing in the reception waiting for the rest of the team to show up so they could go for their dinner. One of the girls saw Jeanne pass by with Thiago by her side."Jeanne and Thiago," the girl said pointing to them. "Take a picture" the girl urged the other hitting her arm multiple times."I am taking it" she replied with an eye roll and took as many pictures as her hand could take before they walked away."Rich people are sure annoying," the first girl said with an eye roll."Tell me about it" the other girl followed up. "She claimed to have a prior appointment but it was a date after all and not just a date, a date with the new employee" "What do you say we post this anonymously on our intranet" the first girl said again.She did not know why but she was burning with hatred for Jeanne. What did Jeanne have that she did not have? She was ju
