CHAPTER 119Riley was leaving the kitchen with the cup of coffee in her hand when she heard the knock on the door. A groan escaped her lips and she rolled her eyes, it was probably the mailman or the delivery woman, they would just leave it at her doorstep if she didn't open the door. It took a while to calm Laura down last night after the accident so Riley was exhausted and all she wanted to do now was to drink her hot coffee and then work on the unfinished projects due next week before heading into bed to watch Netflix before sleeping. She sat on the sofa and then opened the book she was reading yesterday while watching Laura's twins when Laura went to the hospital. The hot coffee calmed her nerves and a satisfactory smile found its way to her lips when she heard the knock again. "Go away" She murmured to herself but it only grew louder, It wasn't the mailman or or the early morning milk delivery woman or they would have gotten tired of knocking by now. She got up from the sofa
CHAPTER 120She Woke up and he was right there still sleeping after everything that had happened between them, her phone buzzed and she saw that she had a call from him, In a way she seemed guilty, she had stood him him up last night while still trying to answer the call she had making way to the toilet, another message came in.This time it was from Laura, wasn't it a bit naive she thought while still trying to process everything —It was harder to process the fact that while she had been fucking last night, she was right there with Christian, she stood right there in the middle of her room staring round at the spaces within, it wasn't the first time she founded herself in such situations looking confused, but at that moment,she didn't know what to do or how to react.Well, at the moment her heart or whatever was left in her conscience was echoing heavily within her chest as she stared straight hard at the man before her still laying on the bed before walking away. She didn't know
CHAPTER 121What made the moment darker, the sense of darkness that hovered round the building at that moment or the fact that Laura was there crying.She debated on the thought in her head, as she did, she made way toward the woman -immediately she held her hands out to the woman in an attempt to hold her. “You need to stop feeling this way, what is wrong? “ She questioned. Her questions were still left unanswered by the woman who at that moment looked devastated, she didn't Know how to take in the news or understand why she waa çrying—something about her made her wonder if there was more to the situationIt wasn't the tears that ran down her eyes that made the situation more confusing, the fact that she was sobbing too hard and had not unraveled what was going on.Riley who was standing there was confused herself, it was difficult seeing the woman cry and to make matters more complicated she couldn't tell why as she was just left there, confused. She stared again at her boss
CHAPTER 122She was surprised at first at the fact that she was getting a call, when the caller ID had popped up with Laura name a glee look had creeped over Tonia.At that moment she was filled with uncertainty on if to pick or just let things slide, she was unaware of what to do or if she should just act like she hadn't seen the call.Still there was that bit of conviction in her heart implying that she did pick up her call, a smirk crawled up her face, as she walked back to the two people sitting close to where she was looking up at her.Antonia motioned to them that she was going to take a minute before picking. “Why are you calling, though you had him to yourself. . " She spoke quickly, waking out on the terrace.Images played out again at the back of her mind and this time she couldn't help it , all she did was stand still in silence reminiscing the moment she had walked out. The smile seemed to fade away as she stared up to the sky, shouldn't time heal the deepest wounds… sh
CHAPTER 123She opened her eyes and all she could was hope that all of these would work out just fine, he was still trying to make all the situation better than it seemed, but at that moment it was going to be very difficult for her to understand.In a way her gaze turned to the gray light of the early morning that had begun to make its way through the room.At that moment, she sighed … Antonia was nowhere to be found at that moment and it gave more time to reflect on things.At the Moment her fingers lazily draw circles on the sheet while she watches his still closed eyes, and she sighs against him, content. Sometime in the night she had slipped her hands around him and imagined how they spoon with his arms wrapped tightly around her.It all felt different now and it was difficult for her to understand why she was feeling that way, for all that it was worth she wished to herself that all of these had to be happening fast. Her mind is quiet and she’s at peace but yet without him,
CHAPTER 124As the giant clock on the wall in hospital hallway ticked closer to midday, Laura felt tension crawling under her skin. She took a breath and shifted in her seat, feeling a invisible ache in her buttocks. Her breaths came out forcefully out her throat, filling her nose with heat. She swallowed hard as she clenched her fist and rested leaned into the chair. A million thoughts were racing through her mind but when she closed her eyes to relieve herself, something silly happened. An image of her laying naked in bed with Christian flashed across her mind and she blushed. Heat rushed to her cheeks, a tingling sensation spread between her thighs as excitement made her heart thrummed heavily between her breasts. She missed him— his adventurous hands, tasty lips, warm skin and strong chest. But there he was, lying between the Rubicon, neither alive nor dead, his existence hanging by a fraying thread. "You are a fool Laura," she cursed underneath her breath, rising from the
CHAPTER 125It was a moment of absolute silence, the two occupants of the room , both dazed, stared at each other briskly for the next few seconds but had followed.For Antonia she was trying to Process it all at once and it felt so difficult as her soul was filled with so many questions at that moment, should she run?It was most definitely the last thing she wanted to do but the more she stood there watching him, the more she felt that need to do something so badly.“Antonia." He called her name again.This time it was crystal clear that she wasn't thinking about it. In her head, his eyes were right there wife open and all she could think about was the blood running through her veins at an insane speed.For the other —Christian, all of these were a bit harder to process, he was in a state of uncertainty confused of what to do or rather what to say. He tried playing all the events at the back of his mind slowly, what could he remember? It was difficult processing all at once when
CHAPTER 126Momentarily, she wakes up with a start. She was consumed by anxiety as she tried playing it all back at that moment, as soon as Laura had woken up she had looked around to the clock..Damn fuck. A very important fact she’d missed earlier suddenly struck her mind, she thought about how long she had been asleep for and groaned heavily.“You’re late Laura.” She whispered the last word to herself as she hurried out of bed and nearly came to look at herself in the mirror.She was in a bit of rush, doing all she could to get back to the hospital as fast as he could -The entire environment had a combination of wicked humor and unbridled desire that crept through her soul.“You couldn't Wake me up." He muttered.She was a bit furious, Riley met her there at the moment and she was furious as well. She was walking and putting on her shoes as she made way out.“Just arrived here as well, had to get the boys ready." " Oh that , are they on their way? ““Yeah, Damien is going to dro
