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
GEORGE. I haven't felt this way in five years ever since Keira disappeared. Keira was someone who always made me feel alive, like I was a kid. Every damn time I spent with her was so fresh in my memory even after she disappeared and even till date when she was back, Keira was someone I didn't want to be apart from no matter what. She captured my heart and I couldn't let go. I still didn't know the reason for her disappearance and I couldn't force her to say it. She said it was because I meant nothing to her, what a white lie. Her body language, the way she reacted to my touch, compliments, and moves were still the same from five years back, she was really easy to read. Even though I felt betrayed after finding out Sebestian. He knew about her disappearance all along. I'm guessing he was the one that helped her with the surgery. He loved Keira, why did I didn't notice that since? He was the only one that stayed loyal to me but ended up betraying me as well. I have never believed i
GEORGE. I was driving home after work and each time I remembered about the kiss with Keira, a smile would cross my lips. It was something I couldn't forget. I was getting closer to my penthouse gate as my smile turned into a frown on seeing Isabel, standing In front of the gate. It was 8:30pm, what the heck was she doing in front of my gate by this time? I thought I had made it clear to her that I wanted her out of my presence. I stopped the car abruptly and climbed down, approaching her. I had no idea why she was showing me her white pearls. She is becoming more annoying each day. What the heck was funny. “You are back. I have been waiting for you, George.” She said and I raised my brows. “No one asked you to wait, Isabel. Now what's the matter?” I questioned, my voice squirming in urgency. “Are you still angry about that day? I told you you were the one that insisted we go to my apartment.” She began rambling again. “Quit it. Why are you here? ….” I cut her off sharply. She s
KEIRA. I couldn't stop thinking about that kiss with George, it was such a passionate kiss. Even though I wanted to deny that I didn't enjoy the kiss, I enjoyed every bit of it. I should have pushed George away but I just couldn't. I tried slipping off his arms but I couldn't. You those emotion filled kiss, it has been five years apart.. words alone can't describe how the kiss with George felt. I knew if George went further, I wouldn't have been able to stop myself. I was so immersed in the kiss that I forgot every other thing that mattered. I literally forgot every damn thing that troubled me. I was just in the kiss alone, kissing George with everything in me. I missed him, I fucking missed George so much. It was as if I came to my senses and facing George was going to be such a big deal for me, moreover my cheeks were two times red than before, it would be so embarrassing. I kept my gaze on the car window until we landed in front of the office building and I exited as fast as I
