As she left his office her hands were shaking. The anger was rising and she needed to calm down.She went to the washroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She could see the anger subsiding from her eyes as she tried to collect herself.She tried smiling but it looked like it was forced. The door of one of the stalls opened and she realized who it was. It was the woman who had sat with her on the floor when she had a panic attack.The woman recognized her and smiled at her."Did it happen again ?", she asked still smiling."Yeah it did, we must stop meeting like this ", Anna said as she chuckled."I never see you around though and I understand the people here can make you lose your mind ", she said as she lined against the mirror."Well am Anna, what's your name ?", Anna asked her and she felt stupid for asking that.She had never had a friend before so she didn't know how this worked out."Am Maggy I work down at finance ", Maggy said as she smiled at Anna."Well I work as the bos
As Anna made her way through campus she could feel the eyes on her but there was nothing that she could do about it.The only good thing was that she knew the lecture hall she was going to so she didn't have to ask anyone for directions.She wanted to know what the people who kept looking at her were thinking about. She could guess what most of the girls were thinking about.Everyone knew who she was married to so it was obvious to assume that she was with him for money.Sometimes she wished that all she ever wanted was money though. She wanted love and money. She wanted someone to talk to, someone who would listen to everything she wanted to say even if they didn't understand half of it.That wasn't what the people were talking about though. Everyone was wondering why she had someone following her.Raul looked like a scary dog behind her as he carried a bag that contained her food. It's not what she had wanted though.She had suggested that he waited in the parking lot until her clas
Anna was all smiles as she left her lecture hall she did not even bother to find Raul.It wasn't because the lecture was amazing or because she had understood everything she had been taught. Dylan was the reason.She wondered how was going to end as she walked to the parking lot smiling.She was patiently waiting for the time to reach so he could go see him.Was she cheating? She asked herself but there was no way going to see him would lead her to cheat.The moment that thought struck she remembered what had transpired the night before. The just in his eyes was something she had never seen before.She could feel a tingling sensation between her legs but pushed it away but she couldn't take him out of his mind.She remembered how his eyes had raked over her. She had wanted him to touch her so badly but was scared of what was going to happen next.She knew she wanted it to happen but yet again she didn't want to regret it after it happened.It was then she realized she wasn't doing it
Anna staggered as she entered the house and couldn't help herself but chuckle. Dylan came to her side immediately and held her hand ."I can walk on my own ",she said as he yanked her hand away from his ."It doesn't look like it ",he said stifling a chuckle as Anna tripped herself at the bottom of the stair ."Can you help me get to bed ?",she turned to look at him .She had never really taken time to look at him,to study his features .He stood tall above her and she thought of herself as a child as she looked up at him.His hair was a mess on his head ,but it was never like that that she knew .The buttoned shirt he was wearing was bulging as he filled it and she couldn't help herself but stare at his arms .As he walked closer to where she was standing her eyes followed each step he made . He walked so gracefully."Is something wrong with my outfit ,why are you staring ?",Dylan asked Anna as he observed her eyes on him."No it just needs to stay off",she said as he scooped her up a
Anna made her way downstairs where Dylan was already prepping what they were going to need while baking.She couldn't help the smile that spread across her lips as she watched him try to make sure they had everything.She had never baked before even though she always wanted to. He looked so concentrated she didn't want to disturb him so she just pulled a stool and sat down.He knew she was in the room but they didn't always have to talk. The silence wasn't defending though. It was a comfortable silence.She sometimes wondered if it was possible to love two people.She knew what she felt for Vincenzo. What she felt for Dylan was a mystery though. She knew she felt something for him though.There was peace when it came to Dylan. Something that she had never experienced with Vincenzo before."Come on ", Dylan said as he handed her an apron."What are we making ?" she asked him."A birthday cake ", he said as he helped her tie her apron around her waist.She couldn't help the chuckle tha
"Do we have to add the icing ?", Anna asked as she licked the icing of her fingers.She looked at Dylan and couldn't help but laugh. His face was covered in icing and the more he grinned the more he looked like a kid."What's so funny ?", he asked her as he tried to wipe his face but ended up spreading the icing."You just look funny with all the icing on your face ", Anna said smiling."Am glad my misery makes you laugh. Why don't you want the icing on the cake ?", he asked her and stopped adding the icing on the cake."I just don't like icing on the cake if anything people should just eat it that way ", she said chuckling."That's so weird it won't be cake anymore ", Dylan said scrunching his face in disgust."Are you hearing yourself right now, I want to eat cake not three kilograms of icing am sorry ", Anna said rising her hands in defense"Okay I get your point now what else don't you like ?", he asked her as he put a candle on top of the cake and lit it up."I don't eat tomatoes
FOUR YEARS EARLIER.As Dylan made his way out of his father's office he was pissed. He did not understand why the old man just kept insisting that things be done the way he wanted.He had done everything right, studied what he had wanted but somehow couldn't escape his grasp.He had never wanted the life that he had but it was not as if anyone had asked him.Sometimes he wished there was someone else who would take his position instead.He saw Vincenzo the moment he walked and a little bit of anger left his body as he walked over to where he was to talk to his friends.It was shocking that they were friends given the fact that their companies were both rivals."Why do you look you just left a heated conversation with your father ?", Vincenzo asked Dylan as he looked at his watch.He had been dragged by his father to come and strike a deal with Mr. Harrington."It's the same talk again that I am old enough to take the company, he just doesn't understand that I want a different life for
The soft pattering rain in the roof distracted Anna for a bit . Dylan's loud snoring was irritating her and just a minute of not hearing her would calm her head .The show she was watching was still running but she was no longer listening . Her mind was elsewhere .The more that she thought about her life the more she realized she was in purgatory . She didn't even know what she wanted anymore .It wasn't the end in her life that convinced her . She wants trying to be with any of them . They just made her life more complicated .What was she doing in the house of another man when she was already married ?Her life was just a shit show and she made it worse every single day by the mistakes she made .She cringed remembering what she had done earlier in the night . Was she really that desperate that she wanted Dylan to touch her even when he had told her times and times again he was not going to ?She needed help .Was she that lonely that no matter how small attention Dylan gave her s
