Chapter 23
After that conversation between Gerald and Anne, it was as if a thorn in Anne’s heart had been pulled out. And she hope so does Gerald. She knows that she and Gerald will also be good friends and hopefully he will also find someone who truly loves him.
She was very busy that day. Because three branches have deliveries of stocks at the same time. She was happy with her work that day because of that conversation with Gerald.
She was on her way home that night and she was walking alone to the apartment where she lived. Anne thought of Richard not even hinting a single text message.
“How is he in Dubai?” in Anne’s mind.
“Maybe he won’t come back here.” Words comes in her mind.
It was as if something sharp had pierced in her heart because of that thought.
She just dismissed it in her mind so that she wouldn’t cry. Maybe the man is just busy with work or business trip
Chapter 24The next morning Anne woke up with a call on her cellphone. Her mother is calling. She thought it was from Richard.She immediately answered her mother’s call. Her mother suddenly thought of her so she greeted her. She just went home on her last day off. And it was less than a few days ago since her day off, her mother called that early.She can’t blame her mother because she is an only child. After the call, she covered herself with a blanket again but did not take another nap. She just waited for her alarm clock to ring.In a few minutes she was ready to go to work.She was ready and left the room. She first went through Winchester’s room and knocked on it and when he was about to go to work, too.They also walk to work at the same time.Work has started again. That’s just the routine of mall employees.It was Tuesday so the mall wasn’t too crowded. The others are just wi
Chapter 25Almost a week had passed but the young man had no clue to Anne.“Until when his business trip?” Anne asked to herself.“Before Singapore and now Dubai. What next?” She added to her mind.That day Anne was at her parents’ house. Her day off is like going home. But Mariz texted her to take Gerald away. The girl wants them to go out and coincidence that they will meet somewhere.Anne would have been lazy to go out but she just let the girl go on her idea. She said she would leave the house in the afternoon.She texted Gerald and he didn’t refuse. After his work, he will go for a walk with her.Gerald is about to be out and so is Mariz. Anne is waiting for Gerald in a park. When he came out, Gerald went to where Anne was waiting.Mariz went home first and got dressed. They talked about Anne just asking Gerald to take a walk in the park and Mariz would come there. Then Ann
Chapter 26The dinner ended and they still not missing the temptation. Thanks to Gerald for not leaving him. He’s just next to her.“Let Mariz sleeps here, son.” His mother said.“Mariz was surprised by what Gerald’s mother said.”Mariz and Gerald looked on in surprise as well.We don’t have a vacant room, Mom. You know that we have already made the other room as a stock room. It’s embarrassing for Mariz when she sleeps there.“She will sleeps in your room. That’s not a problem. ”Replied her mother.“I’ll just take a taxi going home.” She refused to Gerald’s mother.“It’s dangerous to go home now, that’s why you sleep in Gerald’s room.” Gerald’s mother said.Mariz seemed cold. Gerald and she would sleep each other on his bed.“My daughter has clothes. Wait a minute and I
Chapter 27They were both quiet but still hugged.“Your trick has a barrier when it’s a hot dog pillow, you’re the only one who crosses the barrier.”Gerald laughed but it was only weak.“Because you showed me the key so I opened the barrier.” Gerald squeezed the girl’s boobs at the same time. ”Mariz turned slightly as he squeezed her boobs. The girl thought he had stopped but he continued to squeeze.The bodies of the two began to heat up again. And they did it again.They both gasped after their second intercourse.“Is your schedule closer later?” Gerald asked him, leaning on her thigh.“No. I’m in midshift because my ambassador’s day off. ” Mariz replied to Gerald.“I’m an opener but I’m going to go midshift so we can go to work together.”“Let’s sleep?” Gerald.
Chapter 28Gerald sighed again.“Don’t worry, Gerald, I’m not rushing you.” Mariz replied.She doesn’t know if she will cry or how she feels about Gerald and she that Anne is still the one he loves.They remained in that position. Gerald took his cup of coffee and then sipped.They were both silent.Until the man’s mischief worked.He lifted Mariz’s uniform. And because it was a skirt and he could easily lift it.Then his hand was inserted into the stockings it was wearing and into the innermost part of her clothes, her undies.He moved the girl’s thighs slightly away so that it could reach the target.Mariz had one hand on the young man’s mischievous hand.Gerald has already reached his goal. He gently massaged her clits down to her feminity.Mariz moaned in indifference.Until Gerald feel her starting to wet. He inserted his

For body slim, she said. “Body conscious.” Anne joked. “Is that sexiness for Gerald?” Anne again. Mariz just laughed. “ You are already sexy girl.” She commented and staring her from head to foot. She only smiles. “Come to the living room. I want to tell you something. I am so embarrassed so I meant to keep it a secret from you first. ” Mariz says that Anne can see the excitement. Anne also complied and was also excited by what she was going to tell. “What’s that all about?” she asked but it crossed her mind that it was about she and Gerald. “Thank you because… because of that moment we agreed that you would take me to Gerald and for asking you for help as well, Gerald and I became close immediately.” She started “And now we are on the part where I don’t
