When Jessica woke up in the morning she felt her head bang so much she wanted to lay back down. The thoughts she had carried with her all night were exhaustive and she could not think about how she could go about it. She needed to make breakfast but she needed to avoid Xavier. She would also need to go into the room, have her bath, and prepare to go out. Her heart pounded in her chest as she thought about what she had to face. She opened the door and peeked out. The house was silent except for the little noise by the staff. They were always awake before her and did their duties. They made her work easier too. She tiptoed to the kitchen. The reason she did that was unclear to her but she did it anyway. He could be downstairs today. When she safely made it to the kitchen she sighed in relief and closed the door. Her hand was still on the door when she a voice that startled her behind her. "Why are you closing the door?" Of all the voices in the house she wished it was any other pers

"Oh silly me I just remembered that I have to be at the restaurant early this morning," she said hitting her head with her palm. He shook his head and dropped the cup to the table. "I will take you then" "Oh no no no no no" "No?" "Yeah, I do not want to pull you away from your busy day" "My busy day?" To him, it was how obvious she was avoiding her. His eyebrows went up and he scratched beside it. She shifted from one leg to another and murmured to herself. She has used up all the excuses she could think of and now she wanted to just escape as fast as she could. If she was being honest with herself she wanted to kiss him again but was it not obvious that he did that under the influence of the drink they had? "About the kiss..." she trailed off as she blinked and took deep breaths. "What about it?" he asked slowly and gently. Maybe he did wrong for doing that to her. Why did he think they were closer and that it was okay to do it to her? "You know we were drunk and that is p

"What's wrong?" "Hmm?" Jessica hummed and whipped her head to Leslie who was sitting there. "You've been out of it all day" Leslie explained popping some store-bought chips in her mouth. When Xavier had hurriedly left the house in the morning she felt weird and could not stop thinking about what he was thinking. "Just have a lot on my mind with the opening of the restaurant" Jessica lied. These days she was getting better at lying. She used to want to tell Leslie everything about her relationship with Xavier but how could she go ahead and tell her what happened last night? She was taking full responsibility without asking anyone. She was at fault after all. She was the one that made them play that game. She should have found any other way to get the answers she needed from him. "Jessica?" Leslie said with a clap of her hand. "You are so distracted I doubt it is the restaurant that got you like this" "It's a lot and with my aunt that's around. She has been a pain" Jessica added

"It's quite late aren't you going home?" Brian asked as he entered the room. "It's late?" Xavier asked his eyes looking to the fancy wall clock on his office window. He saw it was past office hours. Before he became comfortable with Jessica he had always stayed at the office long past working hours because he had always been a major workaholic as usual. When it seemed as if they were now getting along he left the office before working hours. But now that they had something that looked like a falling out he did not want to go home to face her. His assistant and Secretary had now gotten used to going home early. She called Brian to tell him that Xavier was going past working hours that day and something was up. "The CEO has no closing time" Xavier murmured as he immersed himself in his work not raising his eyes. "Is something up?" Brian asked. He knew his friend quite well and it was obvious something was up. Since he came into the office earlier than usual he buried himself in a

Xavier finds himself drunk. Brian took Xavier to the bar with the hope of getting him drunk and making him spill the reason he was like that. Leslie had told her husband that Jessica had been out of it for the entire day and was refusing to tell her what was wrong. "Life is unfair" Xavier slurred. It was a rare occurrence to see him drunk. He held his liquor very well but he had ordered the strongest drink there. He took a couple of cups before he could not sit up straight any longer. "How so?"Brian felt a little tipsy but it was only because he tried to catch up with Xavier as he drank and also tried to space himself because of carrying the drunk man home. "Many things don't go according to plan and everything is hard" he continued with a slur and ended with a hiccup. "Yeah no kidding, how else can life be for the richest man in the city" Brian rolled his eyes. Sometimes he envied his friend. He had access and authority over the city just as the mayor did. Some major news som

Xavier felt his eyes flutter open and he looked around. A sharp pain surged through his head and he felt a throbbing pain. He raised his hand to his face and clenched his fist. 'I am awake' he said to himself inwardly. His eyes darted as far as the room could see while he lay down. He looked beside him and saw a black space. Did she not come back to the room yesterday? Or was she already running about her activities? He sat up slowly and felt the pain surge through his whole body like he was dragged around the house. He looked around and his eyes landed on the clock on the wall. It was past ten am and he should not for any reason be at home again. His eyes fell to the table where a tray with different dishes sealed shut sat pretty. He stood up and felt a headache. On the tray, a note and a bottle of aspirin with water in a cup sat pretty. He picked up the note and tried to steady his trembling hands in front of him to read the note. "Such nice writing" he commented out loud. He

"What did I do?" Xavier asked like a kid throwing a major tantrum. "You know what you did, sending me home while I was drunk. What if I did something to Jessica?" "What could you possibly do to your wife that would be so wrong?" Xavier fell silent. It was not wrong for a couple to engage in romantic activities but he and Jessica were not like that. They had never been like that. "It is even your fault I was drunk. Why did you take me to that bar?" he asked angrily. "I thought you needed a drink and I was damn right" "Whatever," Xavier said shutting him up before he could continue rambling on. "Are you going to be coming into the office today? It is a little way past your normal resumption time so I had to confirm your availability for any scheduled meetings" Brian asked "I won't be coming in today" "Why? Do you have a terrible hangover?" "Yes and I owe my throbbing head to your diligence to make me drunk," Xavier remarked slyly. "Then I would reschedule every meeting slated f

Jessica saw Xavier standing there in front of her with a box of Chinese take out in one hand a a bunch of flowers in the other. "What are you doing here?" she asked confused to see him there. Ever since she started the journey of making her own restaurant he had not visited for once and she did not think too much about it. He was busy so how could she be sulking that he refused to come see her there? To expand the issue they were not close if not recent. To see him there was a shock but to see him with a box of food and a bouquet of flowers was another entire ball game for her. "I am here to see you," Xavier said as he pulled himself closer to her. Her attitude in front of the people waiting for the interview was off-putting what if they noticed that their marriage was not love-based but contract-based? "Why don't we go to your office for lunch?" he asked blinking at her multiple times hoping she would get the signal he was throwing at her. "I have to finish up these interviews
