Rita’s POVMy eyes were heavy, I had dark eye bags circled round it, I didn’t sleep well last night yet I had to work tirelessly the following day (today). I looked forward to the recess period and atlas ...“Oh finally! It’s time to take a break” I placed my head on the table.“You’re not getting lunch?” Evelyn asked.“I’m tired and sleepy. I’m gonna have a siesta instead” I told her.“I can see it, your eyes are kind of bulgy” She gawked at me.“That’s what you gain for dating a guy online. Midnight calls and chat but since it’s all for love, it’s fine” I yawned and she laughed.“Lover girl, I’m happy to see you in love and I’m super excited that you are happy in love” She said and I blushed.“I’m also glad I won’t be having that annoying disturbing conversation with you” I was referring to the way she pester me to find a lover. “And incase you do not know, you were indirectly mocking my marital status"She laughed out loud.“Okay now, you gotta go” I motioned her.“I can’t go to th
Rita's POV“Again Rita, I will be confessing my feelings for you for the third time” Finn resumed, breaking the unpleasant silence between us in his car.I cleared my throat in an awkward way when he placed his fingers on mine while he drove with the other hand.“I love you so much Rita, what are you gonna do about it” He said“I don’t know” I swear, that slipped way too fast outta my tongue. But seriously, I do not know what to do about his sudden feelings for me, it’s not even mutual.“I guess i’ll just give you enough time to think about it. When next I talk about my feelings, I would be asking you out right away and I won’t take no for an answer” He said.I looked at him, cringed and puffed out heavily.“Oh no, I do not mean it that way. I’m not forcing you” He added, yet I didn’t say anything. I sat upright and gawked through the window instead.“You are not comfortable around me” Atlas he figured out.“I.. I am. I am comfortable around you” I replied, avoiding not to stumble over
Rita’s POV “Mr Finn is far better than his mother” Evelyn suddenly uttered while we were having our lunch at the restaurant.“You are right. I totally agree with you. Finn sees us as his friends and his peer group" I nodded my head in affirmation.“We are his peer group afterall” Adam sneered and his girlfriend shot him a warning stare.“Uhm guys, I already saw this coming! Finn wants me to be his girlfriend” I announced and Evelyn clapped happily; “The CEO wants to date you! Oh my God, this is giving billionaire romance novels vibe” She beamed and jubilated.“No, no Evelyn, I am not happy about it, I’m really confused at the moment” I told her.“What’s there to be confused about? We have already discussed this, I told you to pretend, play along, just date him; fake dating!” She emphasized.“Oh well, fake friendship, fake this, fake that. Just so you know, Finn already figured out that I have been pretending to get along with him” I told him.“He figured out?” Adam exclaimed, surpris
Rita’s POVI was restless throughout the rest of the day, I waited for closing hours impatiently, I just wanted to get home and have a heart to heart conversation with Zane. We returned from the lunch break, attended to clients like everything was fine. I wish I could fast forward time but then, before I knew it, it was finally time to go home.I didn’t exchange words with Evelyn and Adam, instead I quickly packed up my things into my bag and prepared to leave in a jiffy.I didn’t want Finn to come stop me again or says he wanna drive me home and end up talking about his feelings again. I don’t wanna hear any of that, I just wanna talk to my Zane about us. Poor Zane, poor me; I screamed in my head.“Uhm Rita, can we go home together like we used to?” Evelyn obstructed my way.“Sorry, I wanna walk alone” I turned her down without thinking twice.“Then can.. can I talk to you for a minute?” She asked.“About what happened at lunch? If it is, forget it” I told her.“ I am very sorry Rita
Rita’s POV“When will you be done with what you’re caught up with in Canada?” I literally stormed into his DM. I remembered he had told me that he was caught up with something and that’s why can not travel down here soon.“I am working here, you know” Zane replied.“Which means we won’t meet forever unless you are ready to lose your Job?” I cross-interrogated, grumbling and furrowing my brows like could see me.“What are you suddenly talking about Rita? I will come to the states during the winter holiday then return to Canada again and I might even take you along with me” He responded.“Winter is about seven months away” I reminded him.“Yeah, Love waits” He said.“Zane, this isn’t about love. This is about us!!!”“Talk to me. You seem to be bothered about something!” He sent then he switched to voice call.“Like you said, when we finally meet; we will start preparing to get married immediately when we haven’t even enjoyed our dating stage” I sounded very perturbed.“But we are enjoyi
“I have a mindblowing surprise for you” I texted Zane that morning while I was on my way to the office.After work today, I planned to visit the clothes supermarket and get some s*xy new lingeries. I assumed tonight will be really naughty and dirty but full of spice in my own language I smiled to myself as I walked happily into the office. As soon as Evelyn sighted me, she went her on knees.“Rita, forgive me. Yesterday, I was outta my sense. I am deeply sorry” She apologised.I rolled my eyes and stood at an akimbo angle: “You are being dramatic. Stand up already”“I spoke ill of you and your boyfriend, I shouldn't have done that” She whimpered.“Shh! It's enough. I am not offended” I tried to pull up her.“No, you are seriously offended. I know you pretend you are not upset whereas you are” She persisted.“Okay fine! I was angry yesterday. But just so you know, I am already used to the shitty things that comes out of your mouth. So get up already, I have forgiven you” I said. She s
Rita’s POVI had no other conversation with Finn that day neither did he leave his office at all, not even during lunch period; he didn't show up at the restaurant. Poor Mr CEO, he must cried his heart out but one thing I am so sure of is that he will get over it eventually because that's how unrequited love works.I remember when I lost all contact with Jared, it felt like a one - sided love. Imagine being in love with someone but unable to hear from him, talk more of being sure if he still feels the same way for you. It's like I was left alone in a relationship and I already got over him already, I moved on. Finn had better move on too. It's just a matter of time.“You’re really not mad that I literally caused this silent treatment between you and Finn” Evelyn asked again for the zillion time that day while we were waiting at the bus stop.“I will eventually get this silent treatment from him one day because I was gonna turn him down atlas and let him know that I have a boyfriend. Y
Rita’s POV“I don’t know what’s wrong with me Zane, my body is vibrating” I managed to send him a message even under such a condition.“You wanna see more? Deeper? Should I take off the panties?” Zane asked.“No” I replied immediately.“Why not?"“Zane, I am not myself at the moment. My body feels strange. I’m not sure of what I might do to myself if you show me more than just your abs” I typed, avoiding to use the rated private part words.“Alright, I am sorry” “I understand you Rita, you are almost Wet” He figured, mentioning that same word I found difficult to utter.I swallowed my saliva really hard; I couldn’t type anything.“Let us discuss something else, it will make you feel better. Infact, you will suddenly forget you once felt this way” He assured me.“I’m sorry Zane if I didn’t turn out to be the kind of nasty girl you want, maybe we could do this again but once in a blue moon. As in, I’ll surprise you, boom! with my s*xy pictures” I promised.“That sounds very romantic. I l
