Love Ain't Easy

Finding a job as a graduate was like the most shittiest stage to ever hit in South Africa... We have unemployed youth running on the streets with degrees in their hands... A stage where you end up asking yourself if going to college or university was even worth in. I mean some students end up with dept of student loans and then get depressed since they ain't getting a job. It's horrible...It was so scary when I finished graduating but not that much scary because I've been a bit smart and thought ahead for myself. Pecks of staying with smart people. So while my friends and I were in college, Precious started a company and three years later it's blossoming like anyone's business. Susan was about to start working for the biggest IT company in the country and I... well lets just say I've been pretty awesome with words to a point where I published two of my books without even an editor. Tadaaaaaaaaa yep. All me..

The rate at which my heart was beating at was scary as fuck. It was fast and loud. I felt like she could hear it or maybe it would jump out of my chest.. it was just insane.I looked up again and those eyes took me in. I had no idea what to say or do. She looked hot as ever and she was glowing. Three years, eight months, two weeks, three days later... she still look like that 27 year old..I suddenly felt hot and like shit for literally burning her with tea. "Shit.. are you okay?" I asked and she snapped her head and nodded as if I just kicked her back to reality, "shit.. yeah I'm.. it's.. fuck.. it's hot..""I'm sorry... shit... I'm really sorry I didn't look.. are you hurt...?" I mumbled. She held my hand instead and pulled me out of the lift carefully, "your hand..."I winced, "it's okay.. it's nothing.. I'm just worried about your chest.."She smiled a bit, "it's fine.. these are big girls they can handle hot things..."I furrowed my brows at her and she laughed nervously lookin

VALENTIA'S POVShe watched as I left my office. I mentally cursed at myself a thousand times for blurting that out. What was wrong with me? Why didn't I just shut the hell up. Things were getting harder everyday with Olwethu working here. Feelings I thought were buried a long time ago were surfacing and it wasn't good at all.I have worked so hard to get to this point... yet this was just difficult to ignore.After the ordeal of me having an affair with Olwethu back then.. I almost lost everything but mostly what I feared for was my freedom. I almost lost my freedom. But I was thankful to the principal for giving me another chance even though it was something I didn't want.Four years ago I made the most difficult choice and went against my heart. It was the most awful thing to do but it was good for me I guess. After apologizing to my wife I don't know for how long, she finally forgave me and I then vowed never to let anything come between us. Never to worse let anyone come betwee

VALENTIA'S POV I sighed watching a pissed Olwethu leave my office, I turned to my wife not ready to get into any fight, "baby calm down.." "Don't baby me... now that you're cau..""If I was you I would thread very carefully from here and watch what I say..." I said calmly and she shook her head, "Valentia what did I do to deserve this? Her? Her again? And you didn't even have the nerve to tell me about it. So I'm over here looking like a fucken stupid idiot while my wife works with the person she cheated on me with nicely....." "Can you sit down..and Keep your voice down too so we can talk like adults babe..." "Don't fucken tell me what to do after the stunt you been pulling. Don't even think about it..." I sat there and just stared at her. I was starting to get pissed because Olwethu and I were finalizing what needed to be done here.. but I kept my cool. And I honestly hated how she spoke to Olwethu, worse since we didn't even do anything wrong. I wasn't on the hiring committee.

VALENTIA'S POV I have to say, I was pretty much surprised to hear Sandra Buckle on the phone and that she's a journalist. My heart skipped a bit as she explained to Olwethu what was going on. The poor girl looked like she's seen a ghost.. I mean she might as well, she was talking to a ghost. My mind raced to what almost happened if that phone had not rang. We probably would have kissed because no one seemed to want to stop.. but I felt bad. I mean I was going through personal shit and this was just worse to add her on."Sandra? Is this some kind of a sick joke?" Olwethu asked on the phone taking me away from my thoughts and Sandra responded, 'you can call any of the media houses or start with the venue.. like what's up? The launch is supposed to be on Sunday.. check before people actually cancel..' Olwethu hung up and looked at me. "Valentia what's going on? Did we change plans..?"I shook my head, "no we didn't.."She was shaking a bit, probably freaked out. I understood, this w
