Abigail He was playing with my emotions. He did not need to say it but I could tell very well what he was doing.However, I decided that I had enough of Lucas stirring the wheel and cut him off at the but. I knew it would not go down well if I had let him continue because it would all lead straight to Jack again. Would he not try and understand that there was absolutely nothing between Jack and I short of the fact that he was my colleague. The only one that cared deeply about me even.Eventually, he succumbed and I was impressed at the straightforwardness of his apology. One would even mistake him for the gentleman he was portraying. Well, trust Lucas to ruin everything and this time he made the claim that he did not antagonize his staff.Wait, his staff? What was I? Because from the very first day I had come to his office, it had always been me on the receiving end of his antagonistic behaviour. Everyone knew he hated me and now, he wanted to play saint? Nor at all.I decided that I
Lucas I finished work and decided to go straight to the restaurant reservation. By this time, every staff member including Abigail was already gone from the office and I made my way to my car. I got inside as I started driving to the place.As she has said, it was a private reservation in a room away from the rest. I informed the receptionist and she called someone to lead me inside the VIP areas. This was a really big restaurant.The moment I entered where our reservation was, I noticed that Lucinda was already there. She smiled as she saw me and I first observed my area.There was this redness to the room from the lights to the seat that made me feel a lump in my throat. What was this sly she-cat playing at this time? She herself wore a rather low cut dress that exposed most of her cleavage that had me wondering if her plot was to get laid.There was a bottle of wine on the table and table water. Along with a ring up button."See, private." She said to me,I nodded as I went to tak
AbbyI had declined the outing after giving hopes that I might oblige when it struck me that just earlier, there had been some attitudinal display from the other ladies at the company. A whole lot of them had behaved as though I was their enemy which was actually something I was not trying to deny. I had to give Sarah enough time to spread the rumours too about what I wanted them to hear. This had everything to do with the fact that they would not raise a scandal. I felt for Jack though. He looked really sad but he had been a perfect gentleman and let me do my thing with the urging that I would certainly join them next time to which I nodded."Oh, Abigail, we would miss you at the table." Sarah cooed.I smiled."You mean that you would miss me, right? The others don't like me." I said to her,"That's true. I will miss you but tomorrow, I will tell you all about it." She said,Yes, I believed that she would but this friendship which she was trying to force me into was just not doing i
Lucas The instant she came to hug me, she kissed me on the mouth and I pushed her away."What was that for?" I demanded angrily.She rushed over to me and tried to clean whatever imaginary lipstick was there because I could not see."I'm really sorry, Lucas. I actually tripped and that's what happened. I would never do something to you which you do not permit." She responded.I was observing her as she tried to wipe me clean over and then I stopped her. She claimed that she would never do anything that I did not approve of like I had suddenly gotten amnesia and forgotten the kind of person she was. Lucinda was really doing her best to get on my nerves and I was beginning to feel anger at her. I wanted her away from me and I knew I should have discharged her right then but the thought of using her to keep my emotions towards my best friend's daughter was still staring at me. She would prove a very good form of distraction towards that goal and I decided to let it go."I'll be going no
AbbyI had been on the call for a long time with Taylor as I needed help with my mood. She really was a great friend and if anything, I was so glad she was the one talking to me. We kept on talking until she started feeling sleepy and I needed a cold shower so I could sleep heavily in anticipation of what other heartache that damned Lucas would bring my way.I got ready and packed up my things as I went to the bedroom and undressed. In a short time, I was under the shower as I let the cold water splash on my body. I felt a lot better now but then, I had to ruin everything by beginning to wonder what it would feel like if it was me and that asshole under the shower at this time. Perhaps even, it would be really fun and enjoyable but I did not really want to think about it that way. I just wanted to get rid of every feeling that I had for Lucas and focus on my life perhaps. Who knows what I would find, happiness and new friends? I could even mingle with others and not be scared that he
Abby I froze instantly as I tightened my eyes.. What on earth was he doing here? He shook be sleeping or something, bright? Or wait, they had their outing too."It is you, Abigail!" This was Sarah calling me and she sounded drunk.Slowly, I wheeled around to find myself face to face with Jack and a not so sober Sarah. Somebody tell me something I was missing right this instant!!! Did they start a drunken night celebration and no one informed me? Even Jack himself had signs of tiredness and drinking but he was sober."Hey, guys." I greeted."Fancy running into you here. You're getting hangover drugs?" He asked me.There was this look in his eyes that I really did not want to think about because I did not want to assume things with him. He was just my really nice colleague and that was all there was."Ah, yes. Fancy running into you here too." I responded."Someone drunk?" He asked me."Yes but definitely not me. My friend. She went and partied. Had so much to drink. I met her in my ho
Lucas I have no idea why I was being this way but the notion that something might have happened between the both of us did actually appeal to me. I mean, she was all I have been desiring for the longest time now and really, it has been a rollercoaster being close to her.However, if we did have sex while I was drunk. I was actually going to battle with myself for not being awake through the process. In fact, I would find my way to get that memory back. Who knows, I just might build something with her."You aren't saying anything." Her voice cut into my stream of thoughts and I looked at her as I shook my head."No. Nevermind. I wasn't expecting anything." I said rather too quickly. It gave off falsehood even in my ears and I felt like I was making a big mistake."If your asking if we fucked last night, then I would like to break it to you that nothing happened." She said to me,Why did she have to say it like that? Like it was such a bad thing or maybe, that I was diseased or somethi
AbbyHe was being rather too close. Closer than I had imagined and by this I was referring to his questions. Why was he suddenly so interested in knowing what my spec was? Did he actually care when we all know that he cared about that damned actress who did not know her place. For a moment, I was remote to ignore but my insides were burning with the wishful thinking that he might actually care about it. Who knows, that could have explained why he kissed me the other night and then fled I hesitated a little to see what he did but then I agreed with him that I did not care for drunk men. This was not to make him feel silly. It was just the only way I could tell him that I cared about him without telling him. I clearly understand that notion behind the whole spec and kind syndrome. I was expected to say an exact physical requirement but then, if I did, he would know I cared about him.I had been hoping that he would drop the subject right there so we do not delve deeper and that he woul
Abby He had actually gone inside and that really made me feel sad. Whatever that supervisor had been saying to me after that simply did not reach my brain as expected. I mean, Lucas did not even see me and that really made me feel stupid. I thought about it the best way that I could and all my mind was telling me was that he had already gotten what he wanted from me. It was around this time the supervisor called my attention and told me I had not been paying attention. She asked me if I was feeling bad over how the boss had spoken to me and I told her no. She then said she would let me off and asked me to return to my seat."That was intense." Sarah said as she looked over to me. "Are you okay?"She had already finished the coffee and this right now was when I needed it really bad. I seriously wanted to lash out at her but I knew that would make me seem crazy. I smiled and told her that I was fine. She returned her gaze to her computer which actually sat down well with me. I mean, it
Lucas My reaction to Abigail was really hurting me but at this point, I was already battling with so much. There was a high chance that my best friend was being cut open at this very moment and he might not make it. I did not want to live with the memory that after he left, I was already taking advantage of his daughter. That would haunt me forever. I would have rather she and I come clean to him together. That way, there would be clarity in everything we did. All I needed was his phone call to tell me that he was doing alright after the surgery. On her own part, Abigail was already making me nervous. I saw how beautiful she looked and had we not been doing these things secretly, I could have gone over to embrace her. It would mean so much to calm me down that I have a feeling for her. Besides, she looked really beautiful when I saw her. I wondered if she had taken her time to dress up for me or something. I decided that I would avoid her for the time being and stay here praying tha
Lucas I was unsettled even as I drove back home. Lucinda knew what she was playing at and I just had this hunch she had an ace up her sleeves. Clearly, she had told those cops that I had been the crazy ex. There was no way in the world the duo could have known where she was if she did not mention, or even that she would be passing a certain way. It was all intentional and I was already angry. I drove in a frenzy with a clear cut promise that I would pursue this case.Home, it felt like I was in a strange place. It was tossing and turning around all through that I had to keep dealing with as the memory of what had happened with Abigail kept playing through my mind. Clearly, I had betrayed my best friend and the trust he had for me. I didn't even know how I would face him should he return and that was not compared to how I would feel when he called me. I also knew that skipping his calls would do no justice which meant that I would face him eventually.But then, why did I feel like it
Abigail It took a lot of smiles from my face to make Jack calm down. I felt really bad this time because I should have at least given my own coffee to Sarah and taken his own, that way, I would have known what it tasted like against a day like this. But then, I recalled that I also had not asked him to make me coffee nor did he ask me after my preference. He went on to assume things and I went on with my life. If anyone should be feeling bad right now, it should be me.Nevertheless, I noted how at first, he had smiled wearily like he was forcing it. I wondered if he wanted me to notice it or something. Whatever the case may be, I was not really moved at the moment. I simply watched his reaction and then told him I needed to start going back to the office as there was a ton of work there for me to do. He nodded immediately with a smile that was a little nerve unsettling. I realised I was not cool with him being around me. What would Lucas think when he sees us this way? If anything,
Lucas It was really a slow drive and several times I had to hit my horn to tell her to pick up pace but she was obviously out to make me feel frustrated. I could tell she was enjoying everything that was happening and took her time with it all. One time, I had been so pissed that I drove up to her side and looked at her. She was nodding her head to the music she was playing and I was calling out to her for her to listen. I knew she could hear me but just kept playing her games which got me really pissed as I fell back behind her. I told myself that I had signed up for this and definitely had to see it to the latter.I thought of a form of distraction from her behaviour and then it struck me, Abigail. The mere thought of her made me feel like I had gone away from Lucinda's shenanigans. I thought of her soft skin that I should have stayed back with instead of coming out here to be provoked beyond measure. At least Abigail would listen to me when I asked her to do something and she was
Lucas I know very well that it was a flash of some sort and not some lightning. I looked down now at Lucinda, anger was already coursing through my veins because I did not know what had actually happened. I had my suspicions but there was little or nothing I could do with mere speculations unless she told me what it was. She was watching me from where she sat on the ground and suddenly, she started laughing. I would never know what was amusing her right now but I knew she had done something. With Lucinda, one thing was certain and that was the paparazzi and their willingness to come capture the latest scandal.I squatted now in front of her as I levelled with her. She did not seem fazed one bit about my demeanor and that was going to mean one thing. She had it all figured out already and had already gotten what she wanted. I asked her again, this time in a softer tone with hopes that I would cajole her into telling me what was going on."Tell me, Luce, is there something I should kn
Lucas All I wanted was to stay with her in that space. Abigail was everything I wanted. She was my dream and my fantasy. I realised as I was laying on the bed watching her sleep that she was the one I had always been in love with. She ticked all the boxes for me and as a man of great intents, I knew deep down that I desired a lot from her. I realised that she must be exhausted and hungry when she wakes up and that I needed to get us something to eat. I recalled how most times her father and I would be out at the Chinese restaurant with her to eat. She always seemed to enjoy herself with some Chinese and I decided to get some. Thinking about the memory of those times, this very moment was beginning to make me feel like some sort of pedophile. Hell, I had watched this girl grow into a woman and now, I had tasted of her womanhood. Tell me what other thing is more sick than that. I decided to leave her side for now and go get ready. Getting into the bathroom, a thought crossed my mind a
AbbyIt was a really beautiful moment with Lucas and I wished so badly that it did not have to come to an end. I mean, where was this wishing fairy when you needed her to grant a simple request because I wanted to plead that I be allowed to keep this man for the rest of my life. He was just so nice to me and I realised that if he asked me to dive into the ocean for him, I probably would. Unless my father of course would lose his heart for his daughter. But everyone gets the point.The moment he asked that I lose the panties, I stood up with a smile and then slid it down. He watched me intently and I was wondering if he was already thinking of going back on his promise. I was already sore and wanted to tell him that the private suite was out of service until now but still, I said nothing. I had the panties in my hand and waved it to him. He smiled."Let me have it." He said to me and I raised my brow suspiciously.Nevertheless, I stretched my hand across to hand it to him but he would
Marcie's POV I cleaned up my tears and tried to keep my voice clear so that he does not get worried and start asking a lot of questions."How are you doing, my beautiful daughter?" my father asked through the phone call.I responded to him and waited to hear the reason why he called me on the phone at that time.He usually called me, but I preferred to keep my distance as I would not want to work in his organization with him. There were also some side deals that were done there, and I was against them also. "I can see you have forgotten about your father, but it is not a problem at all. I have something to share with you, and I know that you are going to love it," he tried to raise my hopes.I had already made my decision to strive for myself regardless of his health and properties."Alright, Dad, tell me what you think I would love," I said to him. I did not want to just reject what he had to offer without hearing it from his mouth. "That is my girl. Okay, there is this thin
