KAMARIA POV Just as he was leaving my phone started ringing. I waited for him to leave before picking. "Thanks for the flowers," I said with a smile on my face. "What flowers?" The voice on the other end was puzzled. I cringed when I realised that I have made a blunder. "Hello, Bobby," I said into the phone flushed bright red from my mistake. "Who sent you flowers?" Bobby asked in a teasing tone. "No one," I rushed out like a teenager the blush on my face deepening. "Mmm hmm," he sounded like he didn't believe me, but didn't ask any more questions, and that is my best friend for you. Always patient enough for when you are ready to speak. "Called to wish you a good first day. Are you already in the office?" I nodded, then realised he couldn't see me. "Yes." "How is it?" Another big smile appeared on my face. Just like he did with the house, Reign didn't spare expenses with the office. "Beautiful" "Mmm, maybe Jonathan and I could drop by sometime for a tour" I could feel
DAMIEN POVFor the past few weeks I have been picking up on some weird attitude from Lily. She gets angry easily with me, doesn't want to talk and the only thing she seems to want from me is sex, all the time. We never talk anymore. "The morning incident few days ago," I kept my eyes on her. She has yet to look in my direction, which is another thing I have picked up on. Lily avoids looking at me directly as if scared of what I might see in her eyes, like she is hiding something from me. "There is no need, I have already forgotten about it." Her causally muttered words shocked me, and made my eye brows raise in disbelief. This is the first time I have ever heard her use these words. "Oh," I mumbled clearly lacking words to say. "You are right." "Am I," her sudden change of character is keeping me off balance, and making me lack any reasonable come back. My not so intelligent response sounded funny to her that her lips stretched into a soft smile making her pretty face shine and
DAMIEN POVI lifted my lips off her nipples and stared transfixed for a few seconds at them. They looked so ripe and wet that I was tempted to continue feasting at them, but my cock protested needing a relieve of its own. I quickly did away with the rest of her clothes and mine and then picked her up to deposit her on the bed gently. I raised her legs, spreading them wide to grant me a glimpse of her pussy. I inhaled sharply at their wetness and readied my cock to thrust in. I was so swollen that I was already dripping. "Wait!" What? My lust clouded mind couldn't process her words clearly. Does she want me to stop? Clearly I had her wrong. I looked up at her, my eyes questioning. "Condom." My gaze sharpened on her. She is not serious, right? But the look in her eyes says otherwise. "I thought you are on pills," I wasn't happy with her request and you can hear it in my voice. "I am, but you know they are not 100% safe, this is my ovulation period, we can't take any chances. I c
KAMARIA POV "Your mother is right, Davina. We love each other very much, but nothing romantic. You could say we are soul mates," Bobby smiled at me, and I smiled back agreeing with his words. "Shouldn't your soulmate be someone you are in love with?" Davina frowned at Bobby. "Not necessarily. Come on guys let me introduce you to my wife and kids. Jonathan and his girlfriend are here too," he added as we trailed through the short corridor leading into the living room. "So I am meeting your significant others at the same time, cool," I said sarcastically making Bobby chuckle. "Don't worry, I am sure they both will love you." I nodded hoping that his words are through. "There she is!" Jonathan made a bee line for me as soon as we walked into the room. "Hi, Ria," he smiled before pulling me into a hug. "Hi, Jon," I smiled as I hugged him back. I could feel someone's eyes on us and quickly patted him to let go. "Hello, Davina," Jonathan greeted my daughter excitedly, raising his h
KAMARIA POV The door opened and Jonathan walked out clearly hearing Bobby's question. "Someone sent you flowers?!" He joined us, a bottle of beer in his hand. I blushed furiously, drinking my beer to cover up. "Oh my God! She is blushing! Now you have to tell us." "Is no one, just my boss," I said as causally as I could. "Well he can't be just your boss if he is making you blush like this," Bobby teased. They teased me for a little while longer before Bobby erased the care free moment between us with his question. "Why didn't you tell us that you were leaving?" I could hear the pain in his voice, and saw it in his eyes, the same was reflected in Jonathan's eyes. I looked away from the both of them, unable to bear seeing the pain I caused them. "We looked for you, Ria. For years we looked for you. We thought that something bad happened to you. You just disappeared without a trace, even your parents didn't know where you were." I stared down to my fingers. I needed to disappe
DAMIEN POVFor the occasional I rented a Lemo service. I nodded my head indicating I was ready to get the show on the road. Our driver was waiting outside the car, as soon as he caught sight of us he hurried around to open the door. I assisted Lily inside before joining her. "A drink?" I took out the complementary champagne inside the car and popped it open. Lily shook her head to the offer. I chucked down the drink and poured another for myself. Lily was being unusually quiet, so I looked at her. She had this nervous expression on her face. I know what the look is all about. She wears this look each time she has to do something important publicly, or in this case expecting an award. Telling her she will win will be an empty assurance as I wasn't in charge of the award, so I allowed her the space she needed and drank silently beside her. By the time we got to the venue I have had quite the buzz from the champagne to carry me through the night. This kind of public appearances w
KAMARIA POV After dropping my daughter off at school, I headed towards work. As I drove on the main road I took a glance at my watch, it was some minutes past nine. I wasn't late, the presentation is at ten, I told my team to meet me at PK motors. My phone pinged and I removed one hand from the steering to pick it up. I usually don't like looking at my phone while I am driving, but because of my daughter I have to in case it is a call from her school. It wasn't, rather it was my best friends wishing me luck. Dinner at Bobby's house few days ago had gone very well. It felt nice to be among family. Speaking of family, my heart tightened at the thought of my parents. I haven't yet told them I was back in the state or paid them a visit. I was scared. It is been ten years. The fear of seeing the disappointment in their eyes, the loathing is what is keeping me from paying them a visit, but I have to, soon rather than later. I want my daughter to know her grandparents, and I hope dearly
KAMARIA POV The other team went next. The woman picked and looked, immediately her face crumbled and she went back to her team with a sore expression on her face. Her team looked worried when she opened her palms to show them what she got. It looked as if she got the last number, I thought dipping my hand into the bowl. No she didn't, that honour goes to me. When I returned to my team and told them our number they looked more worried than the other team. They were scared and I could understand why. Going last means that you risk presenting something another team have already presented or you end up with a tired audience. There was nothing we could do about it. The lady left with the order of our companies and then came back a few minutes later to call in the first group. The lanky guy and his group stood and followed her leaving the rest of us to brew in tension. I did my best to relax my mind, to tell myself that I am more than prepared, to assure myself that nothing will go wron
