She folded her clothes and placed them on the bed. Presently, she was on a house coat with a swim wear within, she was about to take a swim. Work these days had been hectic. Coupled with her husband not having time for her, she thought she could do what she formally loved doing, swimming.She opened the direct door that led downstairs to the pool. The pool was just besides their room with only a stair connecting them. They seem to be at advantage because they were closest to the pool and so, they get to spend more time in it than the rest of the family.She dipped herself carefully into the pool and the only sound she heard were the ripples of the water and her moan of relaxation.___(Yesterday, 3pm)"Hey handsome," A manicured hand was placed on his shoulders feeling his muscles before the figure came to sit before him.Daniel simply poured himself another round of alcohol before gulping immediately. It wasn't his Intention of getting drunk today but if he couldn't help it, he would
(Flash back)Her black long hair cascading down her back was to her liking. She smelled rich and her radiant beauty was pronounced for her aged, similar to Daniel's if possible. The man who sat opposite her puffed out smoke in reply as she gave out her plan."Burn it down, make sure it is to the ground." She told him "I want to make her realise the consequences of what she's doing, She'll regret all she has ever done against my son!""No problem, I will do as I've been told, never to disappoint."(Ends)___Clarissa did turn around and he smirked in amusement. "You in a swimming suit is quite the view.""Is anything wrong with it?""Nope, it's just that you look...." He trailed, smiling when he watched her get curious on what he was going to say.Sexy-"Okay, you look okay." He finished not daring to say what was on his mind and she rolled her eyes at him."Sweet of you to leave me with a compliment for once." She held back her smile."I didn't get to see you much today, it's going to
She tucked herself in bed right after checking the time. He wasn't back yet again, she was restless. Putting on the light once again, she sat up and combed her hair in frustration. She had tried calling him only to find out he had left his phone on the night stand. She didn't know why she was expecting more after yesterday. Maybe because she wanted more of those moments with him, she wanted much more. She pulled the covers over her body once again as she laid down to sleep.She wondered where he had gone to and making her worried wasn't the best option. She didn't act too well when she was worried. He was moody when he came back for supper and asked for some time alone and then, this?She jerked up when she heard the door click followed by shattering of -'It couldn't be one of her favorite Italian expensive vase, please it shouldn't be.' she cried inwardly.-then a groan."Daniel," she called when she heard him stagger."I'm alright, I just lost my balance.""You're drunk again." she
Their gaze were locked for quite a while and he didn't make any move to look away. He liked what he was looking at very well. For a minute there his gaze flickered to her lips and he swallowed thickly. That drew her attention away from his eyes and she imitated him, staring at his lips, moving inches towards him.He told himself a thousand times that he should look away but he couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried, he found himself leaning towards her.The door slammed shut and Daniel cursed silently. He made sure to see who it was before stepping away from his wife."Henry, a pleasure seeing you again." Daniel couldn't hide the smirk that found its way his face."Is everything alright?" Henry asked trying to hide his amusement. He had obviously seen the whole thing to have that smile on his face. Clarissa nodded finding her way around her table to have a sit."Why wouldn't it be?" Daniel replied with a little enthusiasm than Henry expected. Henry raised a brow before shrugging.
"Amen!""Keep it down dimwit!" Daniel urged but Austin failed to comply.Austin wiggled his brows at him. "So you kissed her?""No, She kissed me.""Same thing, now what? Are you guys a thing now?" Austin asked clearly bothered."That's the problem,""Must they always be a problem?" Austin rolled his eyes."Hey! I didn't do anything wrong, she just left." Daniel retorted."You must have given her a reason to, that lady is head over hills in love with you." Austin told him."And you know that because?" Daniel asked."I have these two things they call eyes and they are screaming; Hey there, my best friend could be in love with his wife if he's nervous after a kiss, how does that sound?"He was silent."I think you should give her a call." Austin suggested breaking the silence."And say the hell what? Hey, Rissa I'm crazy about you?" He blurted out before sighing."Are you going to do it or should I?" Austin asked."Don't you dare, I'll call her when I'm ready and talk to her. Don't call
She finally opened her eyes to her environment tiredly. Staring at the ceiling, then the curtains, her brains finally gave out where she was. She eventually sat up, in an attempt to get ready for the day but the hand hanging loose on her waist made her pause."Who would have thought you to be this caring?" She said to herself, fighting a smile. She replayed the events of yesterday. Starting from when he indirectly told her that he liked her.He liked her.She smiled. "Daniel," she called softly yet firm enough to wake him yet he didn't bulge. She brushed away the strands of hair that covered his lid. Liking the silkiness of it, she didn't resist the urge to comb his hair with her fingers.He liked her."I love you so much it hurts," she said mainly to herself but he whirred in response leaning further into her touch. She almost thought his eyes fluttered open but she thought it to be nothing.Carefully, she removed her hand from his hair and laid back down with her hands above his, me
He stared at her trying to read more meaning to her words. Then he asked, "How do you mean things change?""Well, one of the main reasons my mom refuses to leave Canada was because she is working in Aunt Brenna's company. When her husband died, my mom concluded that she needed help so we stayed behind." She said."When PK building went down that night, it threw everybody off balance. We had to cut expenses, I could no longer go for swimming lessons. Even after the issue was resolved, I had lost so much interest in it already.""The marriage proposal brought the two companies to actually merge and if the marriage did work, it would have be a good thing for us technically. Coupling with the fact that you and Clara were already in a relationship, they were very very positive it was going to work till she surprised us the next day." She said."Sometimes I wonder why she did that, I thought she was in love with you." Clarissa stated."I thought so too, until we couldn't find her. The only
The hard cover book stared at him as he contemplated writing on it. He needed someone to hear his thoughts, if not someone, something. He gently opened the book and flipped pages after pages that he had written when he was sober and other times when he wasn't, his words were crude and blunt.Dear diary,I realized something too late, and it is the fact that I don't want to move on. I want to continue to love her and her, me. Every happy moments should be with me Clarissa, and not someone else....__The door of the mall was opened for them to enter but she went in before him as he requested, smiling at the gentlemanly gesture. They had decided to go shopping for some items for the trip. His hand snaked around her waist again when he joined her in the building gripping it tightly as they walked into it further more.The figure lurking in the corner with his hoodie on, stared at them through the glass till they were no longer in sight with his grip tightened in a fist.She asked him to
