The bathroom was where she walked first when she got to her suite and everything she took, she began to throw them out.
Even after everything was out of her system, she still felt weak and sick.
She replayed all that happened and was surprised at the extent they drove her to tears. Her emotions were all over the place.
Loneliness gripped her as she felt like her life support had been ripped off.
"He could have still supported me regardless." She whimpered. "What is the whole point of showing the world that we disagree? That things aren't good between us?"
Her tears spill uncontrollably. She got up to the sink and threw up more
"Come on? Don't I look seductive enough? I sure don't need to pull my clothes off to seduce?""What are you saying?" She feigned innocence."That I am not going to fuck you. I just need you to show me the kitchen and to go there, I need to get my million dollar jacket off before it gets ruined." He added ostentatiously."The kitchen is over there." She pointed to an open kitchen just right behind him at where he stood in the living room.He turned. "Oh wow! Such a lovely wide kitchen for someone— well, I better get going.""What are you going to do in my kitchen?"' you'll see.' she said under her breath because she got the hunch that what his reply is going to be."You'll see." He replied to her when he was halfway to the kit
Opening her eyes, she saw that a big trunk blocked her view. It wasn't completely a trunk though. It was Wilhelm.Though his eyes were closed with his lips slightly parted as he snored quietly, his hand was still moving slowly behind her, groping her bottom from time to time. The act didn't fail to elicit a moan from her now that she's awake.He still had his black tie and shirt on along with the tailored trousers but the suit jacket was nowhere to be found.Somehow, she didn't stop him. Instead, she began to work on his bowtie. When she was done, she pushed closer to him that their faces were just an inch away and began to undo the buttons of his crisp shirt.
"We.." she paused and quickly collected her thoughts. Her eyes met him in just his singlet and boxers and everything came rushing in.The reality dawned on her. "What do you mean? We only slept.""Don't lie to me. Look at you." His eyes fall on her chest.She followed his eyes and gasped. "Oh shit." She covered her boobs with her hands."How could you look?""I was waiting for you to explain to me what happened." He got out of bed. "I don't remember removing my clothes." He grumbled." I did?""Why?"
She cursed all the reasons that caused her to allow an unconscious man to sleep with her.She got back to the bedroom and one look at the disorganized bed, everything that happened came fresh in her mind. She continued to stare at it when suddenly, her eyes met a red stain.She staggered closer, sat at the edge of the bed, and ran her hand on the stain. It wasn't any other stain. It was blood. Her blood. Also another evidence of what happened.It's even more heart-wrenching to know that things will never go the same between them again.She refused Richard, her lawfully wedded husband, and gave it to Wilhelm. He's the fir
Just like the other time, she called the secretary and had her brief her on what happened while she was absent.When she left, Destiny swung in her chair and stopped the chair in his direction."You know you automatically account to me whether you like it or not right?""That's why I refuse the petty ones. Never expect it from me. Ever." He said the last part quietly and sank his teeth into his lower lip. His eyes were still concentrated on his computer.She peeled her eyes from his tempting lips and channeled her mind to the work she had to do. She opened the mailbox to reply when she realized that he had emailed all th
For him, she doesn't know. But for her, deep down, she took advantage of the opportunity to taunt Richard unfairly high.How ironic. Earlier in their partnership, she had accused him of taking advantage of their arrangement when he wouldn't adhere to the rules. And now she's the one doing so.After that morning, though in solitude, all she had craved was those lips back on hers. She tried to get the thought out but would her mind stop playing every damn touch, stroke, and thrust?Richard had read her out as if her desire for him was written right on her forehead in bold red letters. Richard had dug her forbidden desires bare and right now, she's embarrassed to the point of death.She's also running mad from how she can't stop thinking about him. Even though the room was chilled as fuck, she felt hot.
"Hope you're going to let Mike drive you home. If not, I can drop you." Mike is the Corp driver."Thanks but I can find my way." With her hand already on the door handle, she pulled it open to walk out."Destiny." He stopped her again."What?""Go home."She tried to suppress her laughter. "You're not trying to tell me where I ought to go right?""Your grandfather. He was sad when he came and didn't see you. I think you should go home.""Don't worry about him. He k
She had dreamt of hearing the continuous blowing of horns and thought it was the end time but woke up to it, louder than it was in her sleep.As she rubbed her eyes open, she confirmed she wasn't dreaming about rapture but there was someone in her yard blowing horns to purposely disturb.She got out of the bed staggered towards the window while the back of her hand covered her mouth to muffle her loud yawns.Brushing the curtains aside, she peeked out of the window.In the yard was a Porsche. With the windows rolled down, the owner had his arm across the window and his fingertips tapping gently above the door handle.He was drawn back in his seat with the other hand secured around the steering wheel as he kept blowing the horn like no man's business.
“Hi.” She squeaked in a mixture of fake excitement and genuine nervousness. “I trust things are going well for you in London. What you went to do, how's it going?”After asking, she waited for his response and when it didn't come, she tapped on the dim screen to see if he dropped the call.But he was still on it.She sighed and leaned into the leather seat. “Look, I wasn't ignoring you. It's just…”“Just what?” He cuts her off.“Nothing.”“Nothing? Did you realize that you're ghosting me? How would you have felt if I was the one doing that to you?”“It's not me, and I know you don't give a fuck.”“Are you shitting me? How haven't you seen that I care for you?”“Care? But you don't love me.”“That's not what we're talking about.”“Really?”“You said you'll wait. You said you'll give it time.”“Oh, and then you expected me to have hope and wait when you're literally going back into the arms of your ex-girlfriends?”“What?”“ I don't want any heartbreaking surprises, and that's why I'm l
For sometime now, before he left, she had seen him ignore calls and disconnect them with a grunt and frown on his face.Anytime she asks, he'd immediately plaster on a wide smile and tell her it was nothing but she saw it in his eyes.When he said he was leaving, it didn't really shock her but she was scared he'd lose him.If she had known that it was his business that wasn't doing well, she wouldn't have tried keeping him around.That is why she's taking this decision now. It will be difficult but since when did Destiny depend on someone to live?A bad habit she needs to rid off.Once she arrived at the corporation and entered the office she shared for an unbelievably long time with Wilhelm, she realized it was time to shoulder everything.A lot has changed. Dislike quickly turned to immense likeness then, love.Thinking back to it, they've already been through a lot. He should understand when she finally tells him that he no longer needs to work for her.He never agreed but she hope
..........The buzzing of her phone woke her up. She blindly searched for it and when she finally got a hold of it, she answered without looking at the ID."I'm still in..." She was mumbling when she got cut off."Hi Des, it's...wait. Were you saying you're still in bed?"Destiny got up to a sitting position and begrudgingly rubbed her eyes. "Ara?""Yes, baby."Destiny rolled her eyes. "You sound cheery.""Of course. Wanna guess it?""You know I just woke up. My brain needs time before it starts functioning.""I'll buy your excuse.""So?""I'm going on a date.""Oh wow. You found someone or it's a man.""I found someone.""That's wonderful Ara. I'm really happy for you." Destiny got out of the bed, fully woken by Ara's good news."It doesn't mean I'm over you. I still love you, Des."Destiny sighed. It's been months and yet she's still saying that."My
.......After seven hours, her system automatically became restless. He started expecting a call or text from him.Slowly, the sun hid back behind its clouds and she was about to retire to bed herself.But could she sleep without talking to him?Her phone was beside her and she kept checking it every second. Every message tone, every incoming call sent her jumping up to reach her phone only to be disappointed.At eleven, she began to force herself to sleep as she was no longer sure he'd call her. Midnight and she was still struggling to sleep.She placed the phone on the bedside table and disappeared under the covers, shutting her eyes tight.It's not been a day since he left yet she miss him, so much. Even the bed she lays on keeps reminding her of him and how it had felt like with him on it.Just when she was really falling into slumber, her phone began to ring. She avoided it but when it kept ringing and she lo
"Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss Christmas with me." She brushed her thumb over his beautiful lips while staring deep into his blue-green eyes.She feels so weak and helpless."I won't." He kissed her thumb."Come back soon." She whispered, her voice threatening to break."I will."She dropped her thumb, tightened their entwined hands, and leaned into him, resting her head against his arm.Sooner or later, she'd have to say goodbye and she's not ready for that.
They only had tonight and tomorrow until he leaves.After practicing, she watched him prepare dinner for them and in the night, they made love over and over again.She woke up with him trying to get her off his body."No." She whispered with eyes closed while clinging onto him like glue to paper."Hey, I need to...""Shhh." She placed a finger on his lips."Please.""Let me sleep for a while.""I gotta pee
The moment the elevator dinged, her heart leaped along with it but she didn't flinch and pretended to be engrossed. The closer his steps got, the more his fragrance filled her nostrils. Her insides tightened in excitement. He closed earlier than usual today. "Mmm...what is it you're reading?" He came around and kissed the corners of her lip. "Why do you wanna know? You never cared." She asked, smiling but never looking up from the book. "I've seen you go from scared to happy, in love and despair. More of despair. You've cried a bucket full already. I can't take it." He pitched in a sorrowful tone.
Destiny invited a waiting Ara to have breakfast with them. A very awkward breakfast.When it was over she asked Ara to her room but she declined."Outside then?""Is there not a seat on the balcony?""There is." Destiny breathed, clutching to the sides of her dress.When they got there, Destiny sat on the wicker chair, expecting her to join her but she didn't.The early morning sun of mid-July warmed Destiny's skin to the point of scorching. July weather in America has always been harsh. She looked down from the blinding sunlight while waiting for Ara to speak.Ara stood against the railings and placed her hand on it while her eyes remained below, taking in the
"Since you let the other sibling in then this whole thing of keeping them away is not necessary. I'll let Ara in if she comes again.""No Grandpa.""Why? I like her more.""She doesn't want us together." She crossed her arm over her chest defiantly."I don't care about that.""Then what do you care about?""Fairness. You can't let the other one in and leave the other.""Ara is bent on breaking us apart.""At least hear her out.""You're on her side aren't you?""If I were you I wouldn't be bedding my best friend's brother." He s
