View MoreDalia's POV Monday came around and Chelsea still wasn't talking to me which made me sad. I woke up by 5:50 am. I took my bath and did my morning routine. I picked out a cream coloured satin blouse and a carton coloured pencil skirt to go with it. I picked out heels that matched my skirt and a bag in the same shade. I used mascara and lipgloss, let my hair down and felt ready to go. By the time I was done, it was 7:00 am. I stepped out of my room and contemplated knocking on Chelsea's door but I decided against it, Chelsea can be pretty scary when she's angry. I went into the kitchen and saw a note addressed to me on the countertop, I opened it and it was in Chelsea's handwriting; "I'm still mad at you, just so you know, but it's your first day at work and I just had to say something to you. I know you're probably not ready to talk about what happened during the weekend but I'll be here whenever you want to , Lia. You're my best friend and I will have your back no matter
Alexander's POV I woke up on Saturday morning and saw that Dalia left already. I didn't even realise when she got up beside me. I swear, I'm not a deep sleeper, but that was the most peaceful sleep I've had in a long while. I checked the time, 7:50 am. I really slept for a long time. I got off the bed and stretched before making my way to the bathroom. As I took my shower, memories from last night came rushing back to me. I saw her from the VIP section of the club as she entered with her friend. Something was different about her and I could not put my hands on it. The way her dark skin glowed, the way she carried herself with charisma, the curves of her body, all mesmerised me. My eyes were on her all night, she and her friend laughed about something over drinks then when to dance and I could not just sit still, I needed to talk to her. My opportunity came when a guy caught her friend's eye and she left her alone dancing. She was dancing with random people and I took
Dalia's POV I woke up in the wee hours of the morning and the memories of last night came rushing back. I felt a warm body against mine and covered my face in embarrassment. I did not regret what happened though, it was one of the best nights of my life. I carefully pried myself from Alexander who was in a deep slumber. He looked so peaceful sleeping, his dirty blonde hair splayed around him,I wanted to run my hand through it but refrained from doing so. I knew it was a one night stand and it would be awkward for both of us if he was awake, so I carefully went about picking my things from the floor of the bedroom where it had been dropped. I remembered my panties had been ripped and mentally palmed my face. Fuck you Alexander, I thought in my head, now I have to go commando . I picked my boots and tiptoed to the living room where I quietly put on my clothes praying to God that the man in the bedroom will not wake up until I leave successfully. I picked up my bag after
Dalia's POV He slammed his lips unto mine and pulled me closer to him. I was startled at first but then relaxed into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck feeling the hair at the nape of his neck. Ladies and gentlemen, his hair feels so silky and soft. His hands went to my ass and he cupped it through my skirt making me gasp into the kiss. He used that opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth and deepened the kiss. Our tongues fought for dominance and his won. "Jump", he said in between kisses and I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist. I felt him moving with me in his arms and I figured he was going into his room. He set me down and I realised we were in his bedroom. He made move to remove my top when I suddenly grabbed his hands and stopped him. "Are there cameras around here?*, I shyly asked him. He looked confused for a moment before replying me. "No, angel. There are no cameras around, I'd rather not see how I pleasure my women on camera, I
Dalia's POV "Hi, angel", his deep voice reached my ears and I swear I almost forgot how to breathe. He looked so breathtaking even under the club's dull lighting. I could not take my eyes off him or even give him a response, I just stared at his handsome face. His eyes looked so mesmerising even though I could not see their colour because of the club's lighting. His hair was so long, he packed half of it in a ponytail and the other half went past his neck. I wanted to run my hands through it and see if they felt as soft as they looked. His full lips looked so soft and his jaw looked so sharp they could cut through diamond, yes they looked that sharp. "Like what you see, angel?", I heard his voice again and that was when I realised I was staring. I looked down at my shoes in embarrassment and looked up when I felt him pull me close such that there was barely any space between us. My breath got caught in my throat and I had to remind myself to breathe. "Breathe Dalia, he's j
Dalia's POV "I got the job, Chels", I screamed as I made my way into the apartment and saw my bestie in the living room typing away at her laptop. She got up excitedly when she heard me scream and came to hug me. "Oh, Lia. I knew you could do it, I said it several times", she hugged me again and we squealed like teenagers. "Yeah, yeah, mommy, you said it and you were right", I rolled my eyes at her playfully and we laughed again. "This calls for celebration,Lia. We should go out and have a drink or two, what do you think?"Chelsea asked me even though she knows I will decline either way. "I don't think so Chels. I have to report to work on Monday and I have to go to Darbie's in the morning to tell her I won't be working at the coffee shop anymore and then shop for clothes in the afternoon, I think it's a bad idea to go out for drinks tonight", I came up with excuses, hoping to God that she will drop the issue like she's always done but that wasn't the case. "I was expe
