DAWN

When I wake up in Kyle's bed and sleepily brush my fingers on his side of the mattress, I realise that it is cold.

Where did he go so early in the morning?

Running my fingers to rub the sleep from my eyes, I yawn and look around. The room is pin-drop silent, and no noises are coming from the shower. Yawning big, I stare at the wall clock and realise that I have slept an hour longer than I should have, and maybe Kyle has already left for work. His cell phone and his watch are gone from the bedside table. I beeline to the shower, splashing cold water over my skin, quickly dressing up for the day, and almost hurting my little toe as I hurry out of the bathroom.

Fixing my shirt, I take a quick look in his closet, and the business suit Kyle usually hangs at the mouth of the closet door for the next day is gone.

I'm late.

Staring into the full-length mirror, I fix my hair quickly and put on some moisturiser before I make my way down the stairs.

    KYLEThe office manager waltzes into my office after a long day without even knocking once while I'm going through the last bit of a budgeting report, and the commotion makes me look up. She puts the files at the end of my desk, gesturing for me to check them out with her hand."Here you go, Mr Waugh." She smiles at me sweetly. "I have finally finished these. And I have to remind you that I haven't let you down as I promised you earlier. I have lived up to my words."Raising a curious eyebrow at her, I check the dial of my wristwatch."You submitted your work five minutes earlier than when you were supposed to turn the files in. Only five minutes to spare. Interesting." I nod, rubbing a hand over my chin. "Good job." I pull the files towards me as I let my eyes glean the information on the page. "It looks all right. You are free to go. Have a good night.""But Mr Waugh?"Curious that she hasn't left yet because I have seen her leaving work fifteen minut

    DAWNAs I step out of the cafeteria after lunch, my phone buzzes somewhere in my pants. With my fingers, I fish out my phone to take a quick look at my phone screen before walking to the next planning team meeting to discuss the marketing needs of our new product launch.Running my thumb over my home screen, I see the messages are from Leslie.I'm coming to pick you up after work.We'll catch dinner together since I have to tell you something.I can't wait to tell you what it is.With a quivering lip, I immediately text her back.That sounds nice.I can't wait to hear what it is.I'll see you around five.Does that work for you?Shaking my head at the messages in front of my eyes, I wonder if I should lie to her and make an excuse not to see her today. Leslie would not be happy about it, but this sudden sinking feeling in my stomach would at least go away.Would that even work?God knows how and what I'm going to tell

    DAWNThe sudden buzz of my phone makes me jump. I pull the phone out of my pocket and hide the screen from Julie's glance, even when her desk is adjacent to mine. The name glowing on the screen reads Kyle Waugh.Putting a hand over the screen, I unlock the home button to access the chat.Hey there!I'm sorry I left in a hurry this morning. I have to apologise that I didn't get to see you at breakfast.Because I had an early meeting, I had to get to work early to look at some reports before the meeting.I hope you got to work okay.Pivoting in my desk chair, I type out a couple of replies for him.Yeah, I got to work just fine.I'm using my car today, so it's been smooth sailing.Also, a friend is visiting me after work, and she let me know that information last minute, so my plans have changed.Perhaps I won't be heading back to your place tonight.Maybe I'll go back to my apartment and sort out some things since I haven't

    DAWN"Don't try to change the subject." She puts a hand on my thigh. "What's going on?"Should I be honest with her?Would she not judge me as she said she would?Can I trust her?How will Kyle feel about this?"Well, about that man I saw that night. . .""Yeah?""I ended up marrying him the next morning.""What?" She puts a hand to cover her mouth. "You did what?"Staring sideways outside the car's window, I hide my eyes from her glance. Licking my lips, I wonder if my decision to have Leslie in the loop is a good idea."You heard me." I sigh, steering the car's wheel. "I married him. He married me. We are together now. End of story.""End of story?" Leslie lets out a high-pitched noise at the end of the question. "No, my dear friend. The story has just begun." Then she pinches the side of my cheek. "How come you have kept quiet this past week about it? You didn't utter a word after you saw this man, let alone let me in ab

    DAWN"Also, I wanted to tell you that we are having twins." Leslie stares at me as we step outside the elevators. We walk through the building's lobby towards the entrance of my apartment building for her cab to show up at the front of it. "That's what I wanted to tell you."Offering her a smile, I pat her on the shoulder."Good job, Les. I can see you running around two toddlers in your house. The kids will have your energy." She nods. "Bren must be excited about this."Leslie bites her lower lip."He's ecstatic, but I'm scared. I don't know how I will manage my three full-time jobs. It's a lot." She opens and closes her mouth in frustration. "Being a wife, a marketing manager, and a mom will be hard to juggle.""But I know you, Les, you'll be great at all of them." I offer her an affectionate smile. "Your new life might seem like a mountain to climb, but no one does hard things better than you."She nods slowly, staring intently at me."I ho

    DAWN"Why did you marry me, Kyle?" I suck in a deep breath. "I want to know why. Why did you choose to marry me on the night we met? The night of the blind date?" Licking my lips, I hide my eyes from his face. "Why did you decide to be with me that night and marry me the next morning? I want to know the answers to these questions." Finding the courage within me, I face him again. "Can you tell me why?""Why are you suddenly asking me that?" He runs a hand through his hair. "What's going on in your mind?" A beat. "I married you because I liked how you were with me and who you are. I can see a good thing when it comes, and I would have been a fool to have let you go. Does this answer your question?"My body trembles side to side from the anxiety, and my lip quivers while hearing his short and quick answer. Something about his response feels rushed, and it worries my heart more than it should have. I fidget with my fingers. When I catch Kyle looking at me expectantly, I

    DAWNI twist and turn against the mattress, rubbing sleep off my eyes and realise that my skin is brushing against a hard chest. Almost instantly, the night I ended up spending with Kyle comes back to the front of my mind. His muscular arm hugs me over the stomach, and I pivot under his arms to glance at him. His face is gorgeous when he's sleeping.I have never seen such an attractive man before in my life.Remembering how he made love to me last night, I can't help but blush. He was at it till the early hours of this morning, trying to please me and help me orgasm. And he achieved his goals because I did cum so many times. After all, he does know how to pleasure a woman.Where did he learn all of his magic tricks?Yawning at the lack of sleep, I stare in the direction of the wall clock and realise that if we don't get going now, we will be late.It's almost 6:30 in the morning, and it's good that my daily habit of rising with the sun has managed to wa

    KYLEWhen Ms Burton shows her face to my office again, I look at her with a confused glance. It's shocking because she had asked me if she could apply for a leave application, but she has still shown up to work today. Wondering why she hasn't left for a holiday, I cross my arms against my chest."Mr Waugh, the planning team wants clarification on a few clauses for a press release that is supposed to go out for our public event. Can you look over this?" She presents a file that she has been holding in her hands. "Ms Jenkins wants you to green signal the project." She clears her throat. "Fiona is anticipating an update in the next few hours."Picking up the file to flip through the pages inside it, I realise that I have yet to decide on the last project, and last night was hectic for an entirely different reason. I wipe the smile off my face at the realisation.Looking up, I stare at Ms Burton squarely."Where are the meeting minutes from yesterday? I need the

    KYLECrossing my hands across my chest, I wait for Neil to bring the car in front of the official building establishment. I am wondering when he's going to get around to pulling the car in front of me. Running a hand across my temple, I massage the sides of my head to massage the nerves throbbing in the right part of my skull.Knowing that I have to deal with my dad tonight is getting on my nerves, and I don't know what to do with it. I have to inform Neil that he's coming with me tonight. I don't know if he'll agree to accompany me.As I'm lost in my thoughts, I see a car pulling in front of the company's parking area and then making its way towards me as I pull on my shirt's wrist. There's a nip in the air, and I somehow feel the cold settling within my skin.

    DAWN My phone buzzes in my pocket and my hand mindlessly reaches for it. I watch Julie talk to one of our planning team coworkers and she laughs loudly while she playfully nudges the guy on his chest with the back of her hand. She's awfully flirtatious with him today. Is he set out to be her next crush? Julie exchanges a look with me when she sees me staring at them with a confused face. Her eyes offer me a blank look as they tell me to get off her case, so I shake my head and focus on the phone in my hands and the screen gleams before dying down. It looks like I have received texts from someone. When I tap on the power button again, my glowing screen tells me that I have received some texts from Kyle. An instant smile breaks out on my face as I take a step away from our colleagues to read his text in the corner of their office room. Tapping on the messenger chat, my eyes grow wide and my lips part. The smile fades off my features and its place, I reckon fear takes its place. H

    KYLE As I flip through the meeting notes Ms Burton left on my table some time ago, a message buzzes on my phone screen. When I pick up the phone to glance at it, I rub my index finger and thumb across the bridge of my nose. What does he want from me? Sighing, I pick up my phone and slide my thumb on the screen, stretching the sides of my neck. Oh, god. Was I supposed to meet him today? Tapping my finger reluctantly on the chat box to access his text, I make a face blow out a series of short breaths when his message pops up on the screen.

    DAWNAfter our late afternoon lunch, Julie and I walk in tow to get back to our office room. Fiona has been coming in and going out of our office all this morning as she pleases, trying her best to intimidate us and breathing down our backs. She wants updates about every tiny thing with our new marketing materials, and Julie and I have been whispering about how insufferable she has been about this whole thing. After another discreet meeting with Mr Waugh, about whose details we got to know more from Sophia, yes, she's the person who was talking about my back, told us that Fiona was red-faced walking out of Kyle's office. Fiona's nostrils flared when Sophia tried to ask and more like inquire why Fiona needed a second and clearly a more private meeting with our CEO.Now, Sophia thinks Fiona is the person who is trying to lure Kyle into h

    KYLEChewing on my lower lip, I read the email on my computer screen with a raised eyebrow. Fiona has sent mass emails to all the heads of departments, and I have been forwarded that email by Neil. Her email reads like this.Dear Respected Teammates and Colleagues,I think the CEO is trying to make an example of me since I stood up to him, and I need to do better to stay at this company. Can you support me in this process since you were a part of the negotiation he started for me to get a demotion in front of the respected members of this reputed company at the conference meeting earlier?I will cherish your support forever!

    DAWN"Good, you're back," Julie declares her words to me as I step into the office room. "You were not kidding when you said you'll be gone for a bit.""I wasn't." I give her a small smile, getting into my desk chair as I suck in a deep breath and release it. "There were things I needed to take care of, so I took care of them." Shrugging my shoulders, I exchange glances with her. "That's it.""Sounds good, Dawn." Julie picks up a stack of files and passes them over to me. "I forgot to give them to you earlier. When Fiona came in to check on you, she brought them with her, and she wanted you to go through all of them by the end of the workday." Stretching her limbs above her head, she yawns. "I have to help you out in sorting the data out too. It's our team lead's orders."

    DAWNAs I walk towards the stairway, my stomach flips upside down. A warm need makes itself known as last night's images flash in front of my eyes.I can't stop thinking about him moving between my legs, can I?Just asking myself that question makes my face flush and my eyes warm.I'm glad Kyle is not here.If Kyle was here, I know he would notice I'm blushing.I wonder if he could see right through me.It's not that hard to read me, either.Is it?My pussy walls flutter as my heart throbs against its walls.Why am I feeling like this?It's just Kyle.God, I need to stop feeling this way around him all the time when he's with me.But why do I need him so much?I have no answer to this question either.As I take quick steps towards the stairwell, I finally come face to face with the slightly cracked open door in front of it on my office floor. Opening it slowly further, I peer inside. No one seems to be in the

    DAWNWhen I return to the office room, I sit down on my work chair with a plop, exhaling a harsh breath.I have just gotten to work, but it already seems like a long day has passed.Julie looks at me curiously when I turn my desktop computer on, wanting to get a headstart on work, open the attached files on our work messenger and log into my email on my screen. But when I don't say anything for a minute, she bows her head down and focuses on her work."What's going on now, Julie?" I ask her without looking up. "Is there something you want to tell me or ask me?""Not really." Julie shakes her head. "No, unless you want to tell me what happened with Fiona." She wets her lower lip. "Did you run into her or something?""Yeah." Jutting out my lower lip, I nod. "Well, she came into the women's washroom to confront me. Thanks for looking out for me even though you find me cold, rude, and indifferent to your hardships. I got there just in time because of you. A

    DAWN"Dawn," the person says in a stern voice. "Are you in there?" The person talks much more loudly this time. "Are you okay in there? It's me, Fiona." Then she pauses. "You can come out right now. I need to talk to you."When I don't say anything, she proceeds to talk into the silence as I sense my tolerance for her behaviour evaporating into thin air when she addresses me again."Dawn. I know you're in there. It's all right. You can come out." She pauses. "You're sick, so I don't want to stretch this longer than it has to be here." When I don't respond in any way to her words, she starts talking again. "Oh, please, for the love of God, you can come out now. I won't bite you." Another pause. "Scratch that. I am worried about you since you are my teammate."My heart beats loudly against my chest.What does she want to talk to me about?Is she for real?Is she acting sympathetic towards me after all this time that has passed where she has done noth
