KEIRA. I found myself unable to push George away, I found myself getting greedy. I know I should be staying away from him. If he finds out about Kelvin, he would definitely disregard us, won't he? I wanted to remind myself that I took this decision for Kelvin. A child can't bear to be rejected by the father but I couldn't push George away either. It's been so long since I had the feeling of being in his embrace. The feeling of being safe in someone's arms. George pulled away and watched me closely. His hazel eyes fixed on me but my chin was dipped, I bet I have turned into a cartoon of tomatoes. I wish the ground would open and swallow me so that I can disappear from his presence. “We should grab lunch together during lunch hours. Perhaps some other time….” He offered and I shook my head in disapproval, still not lifting my gaze. “Look at me, Bambi” he demanded, his hands instantly tilting my jaw up as I stilled. He saw my red face, he saw my tomato face. God, I feel so embarrass
SEBASTIAN. “After work tomorrow, perphaps we should go on a date?” I asked and Keira raised her gaze to me, staring at me with no words coming forth. This wasn't the first time I had asked Keira out on a date but she mostly declined and asked me to give her more time. I have given her the whole time in the world, I don't care if she still loves George, they won't be ending up together again. More reason I wanted her to stay in New York,I can accept the fact that she still loves him, I don't mind as long she is by my side but I would never accept the fact of them coming back together again. I gave up my loyalty to George because of it. I can't lose on both sides. I planned on asking her to be my girlfriend if she agreed to come to the date. If Keira stays in New York, we can date openly and see each other as much as we wanted. Going to Germany most times was such a hassle. George has found out so there was no need hiding again. Keira kept staring at me with no words coming forth. W
KEIRA. The air was a bit awkward after George planted that peck on my lips. My body shuddered and I know my cheeks went red again. Why was he even calling me red cheeks? I thought he said he wouldn't be coming to the company that much.. Was that a lie to keep me working at the firm? I can't even explain myself, I didn't know why my body quivered with excitement when he planted that kiss on my lips and now I'm alone in the elevator with him, it feels like my heart would burst out of my chest. I swallowed hard,keeping my gaze fixed on the button that had floor numbers. “Breathe, Bambi. I won't bite you…” He muttered and I rolled my eyes..“Why did you even come? Didn't you say you won't be coming. You are making me uncomfortable..” I grumbled. “uncomfortable? Or you just want to hold me tight? You don't have to hold yourself back” George said boldly. “George..” I called in a warning voice. “Okay. I came because I have a mission.. I won't waste time. Are you going to have lunch wi
KEIRA. I kept pondering on what George said even after he exited the office. Of course I wanted to get back together with him, I wanted to rush into his arms, I wanted to be by his side but I'm scared. The cake was on my desk even during the work hours. My mind was a mess and I had no idea what to do with the it. Eat it or throw it away. I can't remember the last time I had cake, whenever I wanted to eat one, I would remember that memory with George, it would keep replaying. “We just got secured a client.”Adrian announced and I directed my gaze to him. “Wow, that's great….” Cassandra exclaimed. We were just three and even though Adrian gave each of us specified tasks, it would have been more professional if it was handled by teams. We have to do everything together or better still, hire professionals in their fields until we can employees to divide into teams. “We would be running the deal together. I will set an appointment with the client and communicate you guys on what the J
KEIRA. I heard Sebestian’s car speeding off while I was in the restroom.. After letting the warm water drizzle my face, I stood there for while, staring at myself in the mirror. I guess I was in that phase where I had to make tough decisions. Turning Sebestian down? I wondered if it would subract anything from our relationship. Would he stop being the Sebestian I knew? Would it be like cutting ties? No matter how much time I ask him to give me, would I ever learn to accept him romantically? I wiped my face a towel and walked out of the restroom. I didn't see Sebestian’s expression before he exited the building. Was he angry? I couldn't tell, we didn't even get to have dinner again. Such wasted efforts. After staring at the dinning table from afar for a while, I decided to go upstairs.. I had no appetite left in me to devour the dishes..I walked to Kelvin’s room where he was sleeping peacefully and sat next to him on the bed as I watched him. His calm features were so interesting
KEIRA. Now, lunch hours are here and I'm sitting with George after that stunt he pulled inside the office. Cass and Adrian kept giving me those puppy pleading eyes. Money was no joke.. people would move mountains for it. Adrian even resulted in going on knees to beg me.. I would seem like Jezebel if I kept declining. George just had an extra seat, watching me during work hours even before the break. I wondered if he didn't have anything to do at the office. Why would I even bother? He had a lot of pawns to take care of his company while he sits just inches away from my desk, watching me passionately. But I must admit, it wasn't uncomfortable one bit.. I loved the way he gazed at me, the way his hazel eyes pierced my soul, he looked so adorable when he was watching me. I didn't want to admit it but my heart kept thumping in excitement when he watched me work for some hours before the lunch break. It felt so thrilling..“I would have pasta with marina sauce and meatballs…” George sai
KEIRA. “I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again! I didn't know she was…” “Enough!” George raised his hands in dismissal and I just kept on watching. “Get lost…” He ordered in a stern voice and the waitress took to her heels and exited from our presence. “Don't worry, Bambi. I won't let anyone flirt from me again.” He winked and I let out a subtle scoff. “Who asked you?...” I said in a playful tone and he picked the plate of fresh fruits tarts, shifting it to me. “I bet you would like it. …” He mumbled. “Really?” I asked back and he nodded.. God, I'm getting too comfortable with George around..“Of course….eat up..” He answered and picked his fork, dipping it into the plate of pasta. I took a bite from the fresh fruit tart and it was actually so good. “It's so good…” I moaned deliciously after taking a bite. “I told you so….” He said and lifted his pasta filled fork, bringing it in my direction, just close to my mouth. “You should try out this pasta too, ahhh…” He parted his li
Keira's pov“I'm sorry, Keira but you are not pregnant” My physician said and I felt a tinge of sadness wash over me. I had been experiencing nausea, vomiting and morning sickness so I thought I was. I visited my physician to run some tests, perhaps if I was pregnant, I would be able to keep my marriage. I would be able to stay by Liam's side. I had been sitting nervously in her office, fidgeting with my hands but as soon as she returned and took her seat, she told me I wasn't. “Alright, Doctor ... .I legit thought I was” I bit my lips in anxiety and took my bags. I was about to stand up before the Doctor said, “Keira, I think you need to run a test ……..” My physician muttered and a look of confusion flashed over my face and I decided to sit down again. “I need to run a test? Doctor?” I asked, my voice barely audible with my eyes boring into hers. “Yes, Keira. you are experiencing pregnancy symptoms when you are not so I think you need to visit the radiology department for ima
