The next day, Sabrina had to wake up early for work not to be late like the last time. She lazily went to the bathroom to have her bath. After having her bath, she wore her outfit and as usual, checked herself in the mirror. Wearing a black formal pants and a white casual chiffon o-neck shirt tucked in her pants, she decided to tie her hair into a low pony tail. She wore her black stilettos. Carrying her bag, she set off for work.
Arriving at the company, she bumped into Derrick again. Her poor forehead bumped into his chest again. "Ai!" She staggered backwards. She managed to balance her steps for her not to fall. This time she wasn't in a hurry, it was Derrick. She caressed her forehead wondering why his chest was so hard. Her vision strayed to his arms and saw his muscles. Now she knew why his chest was so hard. No ounce of fat underneath!
"I'm sorry." Derrick held her shoulders. With a worried look on his face, he asked. "Are you okay?" Beads of sweat were
She went to her seat and glanced at Alicia and Phillip who still had suspicious looks on their faces. She quickly sipped down on her coffee, avoiding eye contact with them. "Sameer will not be coming to work today." Jack said casually as he sipped his coffee. "Why?" Sabrina, Phillip and Alicia turned their heads to Jack's direction and said in unison. Jack smirked hearing how they asked him at the same time. He relaxed himself on the chair and said. "He called in sick today, so he is on leave." They nodded their heads in understanding and all settled down to focus on today's work. Josh again, was all alone at home. He laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling, different thoughts running through his mind. Did Mabel open a charity organization just to cover up her sinful past? He wished everything would just end so that he would live freely, because he knew Mabel was still doubtful about his father's company, saying he sold the company aft
Alicia had different expressions on her face as Sabrina told her how she first came to know Josh. Alicia felt it was fate for Sabrina and Josh to meet each other like that even though Josh was intoxicated. "It was love at first sight for you right?" "Hm." Sabrina nodded. "He just walked into the hall with that cool aura. I just felt my mind go fuzzy the moment i saw him." She didn't say anything for a while, she was just smiling. She continued. "If it was any other guy, i would never allow that but..it was him, a stranger. My mind told me to stop but my heart kept telling me to go." She looked at Alicia helplessly. "Was i stupid?" "No,no." Alicia stretched her hands and held Sabrina's hands. She shook her head and smiled lovingly at Sabrina. "That was how fate wanted you guys to meet. It's special." She said in a low voice. Alicia believed if she was a guy or a lesbian, she would have fallen for Sabrina straight up. Sabrina was very sweet and beautiful. Suddenl
Daniel saw Josh's cold glare and scoffed. "Why are you looking at me like that?" He walked towards the kitchen to get Josh a glass of water. The doorbell rang which made Josh look towards the entrance. "Someone is at the door Daniel!" Daniel came out of the kitchen and handed the glass of water to Josh. He quickly went to open the door because the person must have been standing for a long time. He opened the door to see the visitor. His face brightened when he saw it was Sabrina, but it changed to that of suprise when he realised Alicia was beside Sabrina. "Alicia?" He stood at the door frozen, his eyes fixed on Alicia. Alicia looked away, already blushing with the way Daniel's gaze was fixed on her. "Hey Daniel." She tucked her hair behind her ear and folded her arms, looking down, not able to look Daniel in the eye. "Helloo." Sabrina waved her hand across Daniel's face, making him blink his eyes several times. Sabrina thought Daniel was also love struck seeing Alicia. She rolled
Sabrina glanced at Daniel and Alicia who were cuddling on the couch, watching the television as she climbed the stairs. She imagined she and Josh also cuddling on the couch. The two lovers completely forgot about the two single ones. She climbed upstairs to Josh's room. She was about to knock on the door, but her hand paused midway. She didn't know if he was asleep already since he wasn't feeling well. She grabbed the door handle and slowly opened the door. She closed the door gently and looked around the huge room that was themed white and black. Josh wasn't seen anywhere in the room. She dropped the glass of water on the bedside table and was about to leave the room, when Josh came out of the bathroom. He had a towel hung on his neck and he was only wearing a flannel, shirtless at the top, showcasing his strong and taut muscles. His curly hair was dripping wet. He froze on the spot when he saw Sabrina. Sabrina who turned around to leave the room, met
Daniel was occasionally pecking Alicia each time while they were watching the television. He felt quite happy that Alicia did not forget him like Valerie and some of the girls who had met Josh. He now believed she was different from the rest. He was fully convinced that Alicia truly liked him. Alicia giggled in Daniel's arms and said. "Stop, let's watch the movie." Daniel snuggled her closer to him, kissed her hair and said. "okay, i will stop." He realised Sabrina had not come downstairs for a long time. He turned his neck to to the staircase behind and still saw no sign of her. "Sabrina has been gone for a while now." He said to Alicia. Alicia lips curved up a little hearing what Daniel said. She was really rooting for Sabrina and Josh. She hoped they were doing something upstairs. No. Josh was really sick. She raised her head to look at Daniel. "Maybe they are talking, who knows." Immediately she said it, they could hear someone with heavy footsteps soundi
He stood straight and sat beside Sabrina. He looked at her fists that were tightened. She was faced down, looking all guilty. He chuckled and said. "You hands are more fierce than they look." Sabrina felt more guilty and embarassed hearing what Josh said. She should have opened her eyes to see better than jumping into conclusion it was a dangerous person. She pursed her lips and opened them to say. "I'm sorry." Once again. Josh realised she was still feeling bad for slapping. He stopped teasing her and said. "Hey cheer up. I did the same thing also when Daniel was right in my face. I gave him a slap also and i still don't regret it." He shrugged and leaned his back on the couch. Sabrina felt a little better. Her gloomy face brightened up as she rasied her head to look at Josh. "So, you are not really angry." Josh eyes lingered on her face for a while before he smiled and raised his hand to ruffle her hair. "No silly." Sabrina
Sabrina leaned on the door after she closed it. She couldn't help but smile at the way their relationship was progressing. She went to the living room with her heart filled with content. Sabrina couldn't be happier. She crashed on the couch feeling absolutely tired. Her eyes caught a white note on her table. She didn't remember ever writing a note or receiving one. With her brows furrowed, she picked the note from the table. Her hands began to tremble as she read the note. She got up and went to her room to see if any one broke into her house. She checked everywhere then dashed to the kitchen. She froze seeing the state of her kitchen. She squeezed the note hard as she trembled with fear. Her kitchen windows were shattered, all her pots, plates and cooking utensils were all on the floor. The kitchen looked messy. She staggered as she took two steps back away from the kitchen. She didn't do anything to anybody, so why would someone tr
Daniel was in the kitchen preparing something to eat when he heard the door open and close. He guessed they were back. He stopped what he was doing and went to the living room. He only saw Sabrina seated on the couch. Her eyes were closed and she relaxed herself on the chair. "Babe, what happened?" He normally called her that so Sabrina was used to it. He sat beside her with his questioning gaze. Sabrina opened her eyes. She smiled knowing it was Daniel who called her that. She sat upright, and adjusted her sleeves down that pushed up. "Hey." Daniel noticed her face was red and her eyes were a little swollen. He figured out she had cried previously. "Who hurt you?" He tucked her strand of hair that fell on her face to her neck and cupped her face. He looked really worried seeing her face swollen. Sabrina smiled and held his wrist that cupped her face. "No one hurt me physically. I was sent a death threat." "What!" Daniel shouted. Death thr
"Well, Daniel has ditched us to be with his girlfriend," Josh sighed, his voice laced with mild frustration. Sabrina glanced at him, noticing how his eyes lingered on the television screen, clearly bored. "So, what do you feel like doing?" she asked. Josh shrugged and exhaled deeply. "I have no idea, Sabrina." He suddenly rose from the couch and walked out of the house without another word. Startled, Sabrina watched as the door clicked shut behind him. Confused, she stood up and followed him outside, only to find him standing at the door with a wide grin stretched across his face. "What's going on?" she asked, her confusion growing. Josh chuckled. "You've been way too lazy lately, and I knew you wouldn’t step outside if I asked. So, I figured I'd lure you out instead. We're going for a walk, Sabrina." She rolled her eyes in protest. "Ugh, no way. I'm too tired for a walk. I’ll pass out." Josh smirked. "If you pass out, I’ll carry you." "Really?" "Yes, really." They
Sabrina eyes widened. Josh was really shameless. She glared at him as he was laughing. "Stop it." She said through her teeth "Stop what?" Daniel asked confused. "What are you guys talking about huh?" He knew they were keeping something from him with the way Sabrina was glaring at Josh. Josh held his belly to stop laughing. Coughing lightly he said. "It's because she told me that...mm!" Sabrina covered Josh's mouth tightly not wanting him to say another word. She laughed awkwardly an dsaid to Daniel. "Don't mind him hehe he is just saying nonsense."Daniel narrowed his eyes. He could see Sabrina was lying. Not wanting to add more pressure, he shrugged. "Well whatever." He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He saw the caller and immediately, his face brightened. "Hello honey." He said seductively that made both Sabrina and Josh cringe. Daniel looked at them and rolled his eyes. "This is how you talk to your babe." He whispered softly and went outside to talk to his babe. After D
The door bell rang for the third time that was able to wake Sabrina up from her sleep. She groaned wondering who was at the door. She had planned to stay home and sleep throughout the day. She looked at the time and saw it as past eleven in the morning. And it was a Sunday.She closed her eyes already dozing off again when the heard the fourth bell ring. Suddenly getting up in a swift move, she stormed towards the door. She opened the door and was about to lash out at the person but her mouth was immediately shut and her gaze softened. "J-josh, D-daniel."Josh and Daniel stared at her with their mouth agape. She opened the door furious and yelled. "Who the fuck...!" Before she stopped talking."I-i'm sorry I didn't know it was you guys. I was sleeping so.." She bit her tongue completely embarrassed at how she had behaved. Then she remembered something. She touched her hair and face to feel if she looked dishelved like the last time Josh and Daniel came to visit her.Josh pursed his l
They kept on enjoying the scenery of the city from the balcony. Sabrina took a side glance at Josh. She really wanted to tell him about her plans of fixing up her house. She didn't want to at first, but it will hurt Josh and Daniel. She believed she had over stayed her welcome in the house. They might not feel that way, but she felt that way."Josh?" Sabrina called his name almost in a whisper."Yes?" He faced her.Sabrina immediately became nervous because of the way he was looking at her. "I ..um...I." She cleared her throat. It was so hard for her to say, but she had a home before all these. She couldn't live with them forever now that they are both in a relationship. "I um...house.. mine.""We can get your house fixed if you want then you can go back anytime you wish." Josh knew she had been trying to tell him about her house but there were times she would tell him to forget about it. He knew she wouldn't be comfortable staying here anymore and he totally understood. Sabrina eyes
Josh had prepared his special soup for half an hour. He was quite fast when cooking and he also wanted Sabrina to taste his soup sooner.He came to the living room with the steamy hot Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup. Sabrina opened her eyes and her lips parted looking at Josh coming towards her with a bowl of the soup. Her eyes followed the steam that made it's way out of the soup.Josh placed the bowl on the table and helped her sit up. "Eat it gently it's hot." Sabrina licked her lips and grinned that made Josh laugh. Josh pulled the table towards her and Sabrina immediately digged in. She picked up the chopsticks and blew on the noodles. She took it into her mouth. Her eyes widened at the delicious taste of the noodles. She closed her eyes and chewed slowly.Josh watched each of her expressions in awe. He always enjoyed how she reacted in different ways because of him. "It's that good?" Sabrina gave him a thumbs up and nodded vigorously. She sipped the soup slowly and moaned in de
A cemetery in the city....Derrick walked past a couple of graves in the cemetery and everywhere was as usual, dead silent. He was dressed in a black suit and he carried a bunch of rose flowers obviously going to visit someone who was very special in his life. He walked silently to a grave and the words'Anne Perkins,1996-2021.Were inscripted on the grave. Derrick knelt down and gently placed the flower that made light crunchy sounds on the grave. The cold breeze that strangely swept past him always in the cemetery and it wasn't that cold outside the cemetery, ruffled his jet black hair. "Hey babe." He whispered. "How are you? I'm sorry I didn't come on time like before. Work and stuffs and my mind has been occupied by one person and I don't know what to do." Derrick sighed. Anne was the only one who gave him joy and had given his life meaning ever since he had met her. But death had to take her from him.And it wasn't just a natural death....His lover was found dead in a forest
Music recommendation- James Smith, my oh my.Josh stared at her speechless as he watched her cry. He had never seen this side of Jessica which looked childish. "Why are you crying?"Jessica later sobbed softly and said. "I never knew you would say yeeeess!" She continued sobbing.Josh who didn't know what to do racked his brain for a while before he finally decided to pull her into his embrace. It felt so weird for him as he did it because he was so used to Sabrina's body pressed against him. This body was different he had to remind himself and it was the body of his..his girlfriend. He had to forget about the memories with Sabrina.Jessica smiled when she was pulled into his embrace. She encircled her arms round his waist and relaxed in his embrace. "Am i dreaming or you are joking?" Jessica had to be sure it was Josh talking or she was surely in a dream.Josh chuckled and said. "It's not a dream."She looked at him and asked. "Why did you say yes? I mean, i was hoping for you to say
Sabrina froze not expecting the sudden affection. Then she heard Josh say.."You didn't betray Jessica, Sabrina. I obviously don't have anything to do with her Jessica."Sabrina voice was already shaky as she spoke. "B-but she had already told me she had feelings for you and..and i was busy..." She couldn't help but burst into tears.Josh hugged her tightly as she kept on crying and her body was trembling slightly. "Shh, it's okay." He whispered. "Don't blame yourself for anything okay. It's enough you feel bad already. If i had the chance Sabrina, it is you i would want." Sabrina teary eyed, looked into his eyes shocked by his words. "But..""I know we don't want to ruin this friendship we have. We don't know what we both feel at this moment and i understand everything. You are the only woman i felt so comfortable with without even knowing you and ever since you came into our lives, it had been filled with fun and adventures and for a moment in my life, I didn't wallow in pain and r
Sabrina felt so foolish lying to Jessica. She didn't know why but she just couldn't tell her her true feelings. Sabrina decided to forget about everything. Jessica had trusted her with her feelings and she went on to be having sex with the person her friend had feelings for and that was enough. She had already told Josh to try and find someone even if it was not her . No matter how much she hated it, she had to accept fate and keep her feelings to herself. She got up and wiped her tears not wanting to keep them waiting.After a long time, the trio drove to a resturant. They had ordered theri meal and as usual, Josh's meal was the largest. As Sabrina was about to dig in, her phone rang. She looked at the caller and saw it was Jessica . Excusing herself she went to the restroom. Sabrina answered the call and the first thing she heard was Jessica screaming. "Hello Jessica?" "I did it Sabrina! I did it!" Jessica said exictedly. "I confessed my feelings to Josh and suprisingly, he didn't
