17: Here she gets offended
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste. When it is finished, it is not finished, we lie still in each other's arms lulled by our love, by tenderness -- sensuality in which the whole being can participate."
~Anais Nin
For the next three hours that pass, I bury myself in paperwork and I don't stop until my phone begins to ring. I drop my pen and pick up my phone and on it is the name Zack as the caller ID.
I smile warmly, pick the call and place the phone to my ear, "Hello Zack."
There is a hesitation before he speaks up, "Hey Alex, you okay?"
"I am okay, but you on the other hand sound like you're not," I state with a curious tone. "Is everything okay Zack?"
"Yes," there is still a hesitation in his answer and unsureness in his voice. "I wanted to talk to you about last night." He trails off.
"Okay?" I drag out wanting him to continue.

"Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won’t settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn’t take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It’s an offering. A gift."~Craig SilveyA painful feeling sets in my chest and my voice only comes out a little to ask, "You're leaving?"He keeps bringing his clothes and shoving them into the bag, not bothering to looks at me, "What does it look like?"Watching him pack his stuff together is painful much more painful than I can ever imagine, "Because I hit you?"He turns to me with an astonished look, but his eyes are glassy, "Jesus Christ Alex! After everything that has happened in the last thirty minutes hitting me is the only reason you see?""It's because of Rekiya then, because

After the second knock, it opens and there stands Havana with a bright smile, wearing pink pyjamas, her hair is in a loose ponytail and her face has no makeup on. She'd told me earlier when she called about her illness and her face clearly shows she was telling the truth and for someone who is a little unwell, she still looks good.She steps out of the way and ushers me in. "You came," she says, as she shuts the door; her voice happy and need I say gratefully."I said I will, these are for you," I say and pull my left hand out from my back and handed her the white roses in it.

“The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.”George MooreAlexanderArriving before the board members have always been a tradition that I've maintained for the past two years unless of course, I was absent0 from the meeting. So like those other days, I woke up early and was dressed and made my way out of the house even before Zander woke. I arrive at the company a minute to 8 a.m and start for the boardroom, after dropping my bag, leaving only the files in my hand in hope to wait for the rest of the members as the meeting is still scheduled to take place in about an hour.After the truth talk I had with Zack, he left because I couldn’t look him in the eyes and lie to him and so I told him that if Rogue offered me relationship, I

"So, what can't you take? Decide which of the two options is harder, and do the other. That way, no matter how hard your choice turns out to be, at least you can find comfort in knowing you're avoiding something even worse."~Josephine AngeliniI immediately glance at my wristwatch and realise that it’s twenty minutes to nine AM and the board meeting is supposed is to begin soon. I look back up and see that they are all still at the door and silently staring between Rogue and me in scrutiny and I’m about to dismiss their obvious though and tell them that nothing has happened and Rogue was just earlier than expected but that would not be believable because in the past ten to fifteen seconds that the other board members have stepped into the room Rogue hasn’t given then a glance as his gaze and full attention is completely fixed on me.“Mr Von Quaint you are already here!” Idara

"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."-- Martin BuberMy failure started when I didn't plan ahead of time, when I didn't think to counter every question and argument Rogue presented my way and never should have given him the ground to throw my ideas out the way he did and since it's my fault and his idea is the one we are now going along with, I should have voiced out that I didn't want to be part of it, but as I tare between the nine faces seated around the table eight of which belong to my board members, I wonder how they'd look at me if I decided to pull out at the last stop. I'd give them more reason to consider me incompetent and unequal to the task of managing and handling things even when under pressure."Mrs Paige, do you agree with this decision?"

"Take time to accept responsibility. Your life is exactly that--it's your life. It is created by you. You are constantly making choices, constantly creating new experiences. And although we can be affected by circumstances which can seem to be completely out of our control, essentially, we decide the direction in which we walk."~Nicholas WatkinsWe arrive at Chickens Republic ten minutes later and it seems he already made reservations because the waiter meets us on the way and leads us to our table which is already filled with food.Julian draws me a chair and I sit, "Life is filled with unforeseen happening you always tell me, but you went ahead to make reservations even without you being sure I would come." I remark somewhat questionably as I pick up my fork and knife.He takes his seat and clears his throat, "It has to do with faith.""I don't believe in God, Julian," I dismiss before it can get worse and

I am there with you. I am all around you. You are surrounded by me. You can feel my presence anywhere you go. I am always near you. Because our love is a passionate love.

Two minutes ago and I'm the one following you, that doesn't sound right." He doesn't sound offended or like one who just wrongfully got accused, he sounded casual as he walks to me and sits down, "I needed to clear my head and I wandered here and I'm reminded that simplicity is still the best luxury.""It really is..." I agree with him and we drift into silence, just watching the kids dribble, kick and score a goal with 'their ball,' all the while laughing and cheering them on. I feel Rogue's ar

I nervous trail off, my heart pounding heavily against my chest."Shhh," he hushes, as he trails kisses down my neck to the valley between my breast and his hands comes up to delicately squeeze and pluck at my nipple. His tongue laps at my left nipples and then he curls his tongue around the hooded peak, earning a helpless moan from me, "We can fight in the morning and you can be in control if you like, but let me do this," he mutters against my right nipple while his hands trail down every inch of my skin until I'm panting and needy for his touch at the centre of my arousal.As if hearing my very

Alex asks impatiently as Martha and George try to get her hair into a perfect curl as if that was even possible. Her hair is curly there's no such thing as perfect curl, at least not for her hair. She remembers, Sarah, her mom constantly having to battle with her hair every day of school when she was younger. It was painful almost every time she touched it, but she had to endure it if she wanted to look neat and pretty for school. As she got older the curls lessened and the pain she usually felt as a child left— or maybe she just got used to it.Her hair has never been the soft and perfect looking one, it was tou

Someone who would put his own needs above his woman's is no man."~Maya BanksThey step towards their bed and Rogue tilts her head up and snakes his tongue into her delicious mouth, tasting the vanilla flavour of the ice cream she had before they left the restaurant and that mixed with the taste of her mouth drives him insane. He pushes her against the close by window and he takes his time to worship his mouth with his lips as well as her face.

Tears rolled down my face and go into my ears."I told you before, your mommy left you and she's not coming back because she doesn't want you, no one wants you. Are you happy hearing that?"
