Chapter Fifty-FourDesiree“Tell me you didn't tell him already?” Lois warned through the phone as I filled her in on the little time I and Killian spent together.“No I didn't, besides I don't think he feels the same way!”It had been two days since Killian left and I had never missed him more. He didn't sleep another night that day. He made the meal we made. He had work and he kept fantasising about his work and how much he needed to be there.I mean it was a Monday morning to behoñd and there I was seated and chatting with my bestie.“What makes you think so?” Lois was on off for a whole week and she had decided to spend the whole week with me.“He's not saying anything, I mean he acts like it but he hasn't told me anything yet he only teases me about him taking me to meet his parents!”. I explained taking another scoop of the homemade ice cream Killian made for me before he left“Maybe he's just taking his time, you said he acted a certain way when you asked him about his first
Chapter Fifty-five KillianI drove out of view as I watched her wave me goodbye. There was nothing more soothing than seeing her smile before I left.My ride home was silent and I found myself placing my hand on the seat where Desiree always seats on.I wanted to tell her how much I love her but I wasn't too sure of how she felt especially with the amount of times she had wished she never met me, maybe if I just calmed down I could decide well.I didn't want me confessing my love to her to put her under the pressure to be with me, just because I tell her I love her.I parked my car into the house and got to work immediately. I was done resting for just half an hour. I picked up my laptop and started work.Alex was still off work but he called me from time to time just to check up on me and all which I really appreciate a lot.“Work is your first love!” Desiree accused me after I had repeatedly fantasised about work.I mean I love to keep things in order, no pile up of emails or unsee
Chapter Fifty-SixKillianI sat there with my jaw to the floor literally. Of all the surprises I could expect on a Monday morning this wasn't even on my list.“Raphael!” I managed to say looking at that tall Gallant man in front of me just smirking.If you are looking for where I got my smirking attitude from, I got it from Raphael.Raphael is my brother, I stood up after being held down by shock for a whole minute.I pulled him into a hug and I just wanted to tear up so bad.“I can't explain how much I have missed you kid bro!” He said embracing me with so much love.Before we knew it we both started tearing up.The last time I saw Raphael was when I was 30 now that I was about to clock thirty five. He showed up and I was so happy.Every feature he had in him was what I took and multiplied for me.He has a defined jaw structure, brown eyes and jet black hair plus he had little freckles across the bridges of his nose.Yes controversial but the freckles actually made him look more unre
Chapter Fifty -Seven Desiree My legs crossed and uncrossed each other with the taste of the food I was experiencing in my mouth.It tasted exactly like takeouts but even more than takeouts. I decided to keep some in the fridge until I was hungry for later. I was filled up already this Monday.I picked up my phone and texted Killian. After a while.I didn't know how to start the text, do I say hey babe, or how are you or happy Monday or I should just go straight to the point.I decided to greet first.“Hi!” .The message didn't get ready immediately but it got delivered.Monday mornings when I still worked at the hotel, I was always grumpy for no reason, it felt like I had no real enough time to rest. The weekend seemed too short and Monday just took it all away.But there I was at home just devoured takeouts and ice cream, one would have thought this life of doing absolutely nothing us great.But that was a huge problem for me. I didn't want to stop been busy Sometimes I could rela
Chapter Fifty-EightKillianI and Raphael decided to head back home after we were done eating.This is what I loved about good company, it makes me not want to check my phone..But I had to check, so I took out my phone and saw that Desiree had already dropped a message. I replied immediately, trying so hard not to smile so Raphael's suspicions wouldn't be confirmed in any way.We drove off home and settled down.“Remember Gwen from high school?” Raphael reminded me and pulled me back into another memory lane.Gwen was his seatmate In high school and they fought almost like they couldn't stand each other's breath.“Yes sure, the one that hated you like a piece of crap!”...He smiled and brought out a piece of envelope and tossed it to me from the table…I glared at him before opening the envelope.I pulled the content of the envelope out l, read it and my brain was doing a whole bunch of calculations…I stood up and just walked off to the bar counter..Raphael burst into laughter…I c
Chapter Fifty-NineDesiree.“What was that?” Lois confronted the moment we got out of the restaurant.“What was what?” I pretended..“Seriously?” .Okay I knew I did her good but was this how she was going to thank me??? By yelling, come on!!!.“Look I don't understand what you think I did, I didn't do anything!” .The amazing part is her and Alex both got along very well, they went bible for the rest of the evening.We boarded an Uber to take us home, the whole ride I could feel her glaring at me like she was about to pull me by my hair and yell in my ears.But I didn't care. I knew she liked Alex and he also did, so why am I the enemy here?“You want some?” I brought some chocolate out of my bag and handed it over to her…She never rejects chocolate ever!!!She stared down at it at first and didn't do anything..But within a second she pulled it from my hand..I laughed so hard that the Uber driver was struggling to concentrate.“That's not funny really!” Lois warned biting down on
Chapter SixtyKillianI woke up feeling the craziest headache ever, I think Raphael's warning is starting to bite me in the ass.Not like this was the first time I was sleeping late.I struggled to get out of bed, and I just kept wondering how I got here. Yesterday I was doing very well and all of a sudden I was getting migraines.The worst ever..Something felt odd with me, I felt I had overSlept, tracing the alarm with my hand with my eyes still closed, I picked it up and checked the time.My eyes shut up instantly..“12:00 Pm!!!!I got out of bed at an insane speed, I was late for work, not like I'm not the CEO already but I had never slept that late!!! The migraine grew worse as I motioned through the house to get dressed for work. I didn't even care. All I wanted to do is set a good example for my employees.I got out of the shower and headed out of my room, while I placed a call to Oliver to come pick me up.“You seem to be in a hurry today, did you sleep well?” Raphael voiced
Chapter Sixty-OneKillianI was half way through the meal when I realised that I was starting to feel weak again but I could still manage myself to go see Desiree. I immediately started packing my stuff.I dispersed Oliver and drove myself to Desiree's place..I got down from the car and walked up to the elevator.My head started to feel very hazy as I was in the elevator.I knocked on the door to her apartment and the door flew open.“Killian, how are you doing?”. She asked, I could faintly see a smile planted on her face.My eyes were getting heavier and heavier and I couldn't keep them open anymore.“I think I'm fine!” I lied walking one step at a time.“You don't look fine!” She countered.“I don't know how I feel!” I accepted.She touched me to check my temperature.“Oh my days you are boiling hot!” I turned around to face her but my knees grew weak and Desiree was able to catch me before I landed on the floor.That was the last thing I remembered.Few hours later..I felt a sof
