Enrico Pov...

I didn't mean to snob her the whole night but my appetite sunk to see her. I feel she's a thorn in my throat and I can't breathe. I want to get out and breathe.

Leaving her early in the morning without a word is the only way I know to give her a sign that we can rekindle our past. I need to remember she left me for no reason and left me alone facing all the criticism and embarrassment.

Dad's meeting was my perfect scapegoat. The meeting ended around lunch and all I can think is to reach Kendra again. I want to eat lunch with her and anything more. She is a drug that comes into my life that I can't run away from. I will chase even hell I will just be around her.

    Kendra Pov...Seeing Enrico at that meeting was unexpected and surprising. It seems our world is too shallow and we always stumble at each other's. Can I have a day without him or is it just the place is too small for us? I can't manage myself every time he's around! He weakens everything in my body even my voice and words are hard to find! What exactly did he do to me? When I met him five years ago none of this happened but why now? This can't be happening between us! Then you must stop yourself fantasizing and being manipulated by his charm. I cried. His smiles and smirks send shivers and others that words can express it. Fuck Kendra!

He replied still jubilant. The smile on his face is refreshing and contagious. I looked at Devu and he smiled as well but there was something behind his smile. He doesn't believe that Enrico is happy because of the company, he believes Enrico is happy because of something else! Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion and judgment. Whatever it is, I don't care as long as it's good. Life is too short to gamble with nothing
