They didn't have any issues but it felt as if they did. It was starting to seem one sided and she didn't like it. She had never felt this deep connection with someone before. In the past she had ex but the feelings she has for Mathew was far more greater than she did for any of her ex'sShe heaved a sigh of relief when the call went through. "Hey," she said with a smile on her face when Mathew answered the call."Elizabeth, how are you?" He asked softly, a tone that always sent shivers down her spine."I've been good. I stood where I was kept by you. How have you been? Busy?" She asked.Mathew chuckled

"You were down all through today and I guessed right. You did have a fight with your lover." Rebecca said.She loved closer to Landon who had a frantic facial expression on as she spoke. " Hi, I'm Rebecca. You can call me Becca. A fellow programmer like Victoria here." She Introduced herself, stretching her hands for a handshake.Landon shook her hands. "I'm Landon."

Victoria froze on spot as she seized her breath. The person she had been trying to avoid and also the person who had invaded her thoughts since yesterday was now standing behind her. Her heart began to beat faster than normal. Her palms become sweaty again. She swallowed an invisible lump in her throat as she suddenly felt her mouth go dry."It's okay. We just got here." Landon tells his friend.Mr Smith had not seen Victoria yet as she was backing him. He looked at her hair and shrugged before taking a seat. It was when he sat down that he noticed Victoria beside him. His eyes widened once he saw her, he could tell she was avoiding him as she refused to look his way to see who it was. He guessed his voice had given him away.Landon cleared his throat. He noticed that Victoria wasn't trying to look at Mr Smith and he thought it was because she was caught by surprise having to have dinner with her boss. He expected such a reaction from her but he didn't know why Mr Smith was shocked t

Landon got up from his seat. "I will be back soon. I have to use the restroom." He informed Mr Smith and Victoria who nodded their heads in response.As soon as Landon left, it became awkward for both Mr Smith and Victoria. Both looked elsewhere except themselves. Mr Smith was tempted to speak to her, to clear the differences between them but he couldn't man up and do it. It was unlike him and he knew it.He was still angry with her that she had left in the middle of the night without letting him know. The waiter came to take their order. "Good evening, Sir, ma'am." He greeted them again respectively, placing their orders on the table. Both nodded their heads in acknowledgment. "You may go for now, we will call you when we need you again." Mr Smith tells him and the waiter nodded his head I'm understanding before leaving them."Victoria." Mr Smith finally called after gathering enough courage and setting his pride aside.He was going to be on good terms with her for the sake of his f

Mr Smith shook his head. "She didn't have any phone call that I am aware of and besides we were fine so I do not understand anything." Mr Smith explained to his friend who didn't seem to believe him.Landon rubbed his eyes with his index and thumb finger. "Fuck!" He cursed as she sat back down on his seat. He had gotten up from his seat when he had offered to drive her back home."Her friend Rebecca told me she was in a bad mood today. Said it had something to do with a relationship. I do not know what to think but I feel she has feelings for another." Landon tells his friend."Rebecca?" Mr Smith questioned wanting to be sure it was the right name he had heard his friend say."Yes. She is a colleague with Victoria. She said Victoria's mood has been down all day and she said it has to do with Victoria's love life and she mistook me for the guy who was supposed to be the cause of her sad mood." He explained to his friend as he sighed deeply.He wanted to doubt that she had interest in s

Mr Smith said nothing as he looked into the eyes of his friend. He wondered why he had thought that he had feelings for him. He wanted to burst into another fit of laughter but decided against it. He decided to piss Landon off instead.His facial expression changed as he leaned closer to Landon making Landon wary. He grabbed Landon's hands on the table, making Landon's eyes widened."What...what are you doing?" Landon stuttered as he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.Mr Smith swallowed the lump in his throat. He was struggling not to laugh because Landon's facial expression was killing him. "How is it that you are just realising?" He had managed to say without laughing. He wanted to pee on himself just by looking at Landon.Landon removed his hands from Mr Smith's hold and kept it to himself. "Oh my goodness!" He gasped for air."You..." Landon pointed his index finger at himself and then at Mr Smith."You like me?" He asked, wanting to be sure he was hearing his friend well.Mr Smith n

"Yes." Mr Smith answered without hesitation."Hmm. I see. Do I know her? Who is she?" Landon asked. Mr Smith at that time decided to dig into his food. He wasn't going to talk about who had his feelings all messed up."Let's dig in. The food is almost cold." Mr Smith said dismissively, making Landon roll his eyes at him. "So are you down for my earlier suggestion?" Landon asked."What did you say again?" Mr Smith questioned as he couldn't remember what Landon had suggested they do."Let's go out. To a bar, club, anywhere. Just to get rid of the tension earlier today. The truth is, it's been a long time since I had any woman feel my..." He cleared his throat hoping his signs alone were enough to give the hint he wanted to show his friend.Mr Smith shook his head. "You are always horny. I thought you liked Victoria? Suddenly you want to jump on another?" Mr Smith brows raised in a questioning manner. When he doubted Landon's affection for Victoria, he knew he wasn't wrong and now Lando
