“Be careful” he whispered in my ears. His hands were placed firmly around my waist in his frantic bid to steady me and save me from crashing to the marble tiled floors. His hands lingered on me while I tried to gain myself but I pulled away from his hold, resisting the urge to read any other meaning to his gestures except for the fact that he was trying to save me.

“Thank you” I whispered back to him, an awkward tension suddenly coming between us as he walked me outside anyways but I managed to ignore it and keep my eyes straight ahead without glancing side ways at him.

“Be here 8am sharp tomorrow otherwise you’re fired” Marvis definitely has an attitude problem but didn’t want to dwell on his sharp words, I was barely nodding my head when he turned around and walked away leaving me with my mouth open in surprise.

I walked outside instead when my phone began to ring and it was Kyle calling, I picked immediately and my heart fluttered as Parrish's voice filled my ears.

    “What the hell!” I gasped looking at him in horror with a pounding heart “Are you following me now?”“I was peacefully enjoying my meal when I saw you walk in to meet him. What are you trying to prove? How do you think that makes me feel huh? It’s barely been a week and you’re rubbing it in my face, gallivanting your new boyfriend around –”“It’s not like that Nathan, how was I supposed to know you were here at this particular time?”“Bullshit” he spat, still backing me up on the wall and leaving no space for me to breathe but I managed to push him away the amount he was willing to budge which wasn’t very much.“You know what Nathan? You’re going to have to find a way to deal with this and stop – stop this”The look he gave me after that statement was murderous, like something had ticked inside him giving his eyes a weird kind of glaze that I wouldn’t lie scared the shit out of me.“I’m going to have to find a way?” he scoffed, then pushed back unto the wall with my back slamming hard

    “I need to get out of here” I said immediately, standing up from the chair and ready to dash out of her office but she stopped me immediately.“Jess – wait” she stepped in front of me immediately, grabbing my arm. The guilt was plastered boldly allover her face followed by the glossy look in her eyes which looked like her eyes getting clouded with tears and I rolled my eyes.“You have got to be kidding me” I scoffed “I thought Nathan was just being jealous, I thought he was trying to sow a seed of doubt in my mind so I could go back to him but oh my God, it’s a full grown tree – ”“Shit Nathan!” she smacked her forehead “You were not supposed to find out this way – ”“Or at all?” I cut through. “You were never going to tell me, weren’t you?”“I was going to tell you okay, I was going to tell you. I told Nathan about it on the night of the engagement party but I didn’t think he was going to tell you” her gestures screamed exasperation and she had a tone of urgency like she desperately

    “You” Marvis pointed surprisingly at me, like I was the last person he expected to be crouched down in a random parking lot and crying my eyes out. Immediately, I wiped my tears and stood up to his height, well half his height judging from how well he towered above me. He was still dressed in the same suit as he had on earlier, which was at all not surprising just the fact that he was standing before me now with a curious look on his face.“You’re crying” he said as a matter of fact.“Well no shit Sherlock”“Why?”I gave him a strange look, dragging my sleeves across my nose wiping the snot that threatened to drip “Do you just expect me to tell you why I’m crying?”He returned my look with an equal strangeness in his gaze “I mean you got the job you wanted, I’m wondering what else could be making you cry especially in public like this”“So you’re trying to say there could be absolutely nothing else going on in my life except my desperate need for a job?”He shrugged nonchalantly, and

    SOME DRUNKEN YEARS AGOJESSICA’S POVIt was the week after my father had died and had been buried already. It had been the longest and most agonizing week of my life and it didn’t help much that I was beginning to feel like Parrish was being distant even as we were living together at that point. He couldn’t meet my eyes when he managed to speak to me, he claimed he was giving me the space I needed to grieve my father but I felt like it was something else, I knew it was something else but I just couldn’t place my finger on itJust until that fateful night, I woke up in the middle of the night, my entire body gripped by a sudden sharp pain. At first I thought it might have been another bout of morning sickness that usually chose to attack me in the middle of the night or perhaps the stress of losing my father finally catching up with me. I was merely three months gone and sometimes it was better to ignore that I was pregnant at all to kill the overwhelming that plagued me of not taking

Had she always been sleeping with him behind my back and smiling in my face after or had it been a one night of irrestible desire, I wasn’t sure if I actually wanted to know because either ways I knew I wouldn’t be able to forgive both answers.“So that’s what happened” I said finally and Marvis sighed not taking his eyes off me as I narrated the whole ordeal.“Wow!” he finally murmured, breaking the silence that settled within us “That’s crazy”I nodded, staring out at the water rippling softly in the fading light, then he asked me “So about Parrish, are you going to confront him about it at all?”I let t

I turned back to face Jessica who still had her hands covering her mouth and her eyes wide with shock.“Come with me” I said immediately before she could dwell further in her theatrics, I walked out of the building to a covering at the side that could give us privacy and when he reached there, she spoke first.“You – ” was all she managed to let out, pointing her delicate fingers at me and I stood amused“Me?” I repeated“You’re – you lied about your identity, why did you lie?”Why did I lie?

    PARRISH’S POV“Oh damn” I exclaimed as I peeked at my watch to find out I had drowned myself in work way too long this time, it was crawling late into the night but I was still seated at my desk pushing myself into files that didn’t need my attention at all. But it was the only way to keep her out of my mind – damn it was even harder to say her name. I fucked, I knew I had fucked up but I never thought she’d find out what happened all those years ago. When Sophie had called me with panic in her voice and all teary, I knew that it was over – I was going to lose her for good. When she texted that we were done, I figured that it’d be for the better. I had done so many things to hurt her, so many unexplainable things that were unforgivable. So I figured, maybe we weren’t meant to be, maybe I was just a passing figure in her life that was created to hurt her and that thought alone nearly drove me over the edge of insanity. But that was what I did – I let her go.I glanced at my phone for w
