To Love and To Lust 2 2
What Mr Smith had in mind at first was to take Victoria to a grand place where he would get people to decorate very beautifully and set up a table for two for the both of them with red wines, sea food, cakes for dessert and flowers but that all changed after his little argument with Victoria.He had decided to keep it simple and take her out for dinner instead to talk things out with her. He was nervous. He didn't know if he should go with his suit or dress casually. Things like this were always hard for him. Relationship was something he never did too well with which was why he didn't get into any relationship after his last relationship.In his last relationship, it was the girl who had done the most, she was the one consistent and initiating things which was one of the many reasons she left. She felt he was making it look as if she was the only one dating him when he was the one who had confessed to her.He didn't look at any woman and dedicated his time to his academics until Vict

"Good, the kiss. Let's talk about it. Let's start from how you kissed me then tell me to forget it then kiss me again." Victoria spat out.As much as Mr Smith would love to talk to her about it, he felt it was only going to create more misunderstanding which he didn't want."I won't be going back to what happened that night at the cabin." He said firmly.Victoria scoffed. "Wow! What was I expe..." Mr Smith cuts her off."Listen to me first." He sighed. "I kissed you that night because I wanted to. I wasn't drunk and I was in my right mind when I did it. I wanted to forget it and regret it but I couldn't so I'm owning up to it." His words left Victoria speechless as a lump formed in her throat.She had not expected him to speak this way. She imagined them arguing back and forth but she realized she had imagined wrong when she knew of Mr Smith's personality."I didn't intend to hurt you in any way or look down on you. It wasn't in my intentions to make you look like a hoe. Not at all,

Victoria lay on her back on her bed as she looked at the ceiling with a smile on her face. Her hands were on her stomach as she recollected what happened earlier that night.The conversation with Mr Smith went more smoothly than she had expected and she was not expecting him to confess to her and tell her that he was going to court her.They ate their food in silence but every once in a while, they would sneak glances at one another and some other times, their eyes locked with one another but she would be the first to look away as her cheek would flush in embarrassment.While they left the restaurant, Mr Smith locked his hands with her but she had made an attempt to remove her hands but he held them firmly, not looking at her.She could feel her heartbeat on her head as they walked. She felt so shy and she felt her knees weaken. He had asked for her address but she wasn't ready for him to know the place so she told him not to bother and that she had called an Uber already.He told her

"Last but not the least, these are the computer programmers of Smith technologies." Dennis introduced the investors who were with Mr Smith.The moment Mr Smith stepped into the room with the investors and Victoria's eyes caught a glimpse of him, she sneakily took out her small mirror to see her face to make sure she was looking good and presentable.She dropped the mirror back on the table once she noticed she was looking good and okay. She sneaked glances at him all the while he spoke to the investors.After some minute, Mr Smith left with the investors and she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She has been holding her breath since he came in, and suddenly find him more attractive than he was before.There was no time that the kisse they shared last night did not resurface in her head as she sneaked glances at him. She couldn't wait to be in the same room as him after all he had told her that he was officially going to court her."Here are the documents Mr Smith asked for, you can go

Victoria stood frozen on the spot after what Mr Smith had done. When he whispered in her ear asking her to invite him to her bed, she instantly thought dirty.Then while trying to gather herself after such pant soaking words, his wet lip touched hers. She panted deeply, trying to get a hold of herself. Her feelings were all over the place again just for a simple touch. She felt her heart beat faster than normal and she sighed as she placed her palm on her chest. She suddenly felt hot as she began to fan herself with her hands. After a while, she finally went back to the office now in a better mood, making Rebecca wonder.Earlier her mood was good, then sour and now good again. She couldn't help but ask what happened to her. "Are you on your period?" Rebecca whispered to her?"What?" Victoria was taken by Rebecca's question.Rebecca shrugged. "Yes, are you on your period? I mean that could be the only reason for my mood swing. Your mood is better than it was before you went out with M

Have you ever been in a state where you are bitten yet you feel no pain? That state where nothing matters and nothing hurts? Yes, numb; that would be how you'd describe Elizabeth state.She had not blinked her eyes since last night. She had not been able to sleep. She lied on her back all through and looked at the ceiling with her hands on her stomach. She had cried to the point tears were no longer coming out from her eyes to express her pain. Everything was dark to her and she looked for help. Victoria joyfully came into Elizabeth's room with a beaming smile on her face. She couldn't wait anymore to tell her friend what had happened to her last night with Mr Smith.When she came to look at Elizabeth, she saw her sleeping on her bed already so she closed her door gently and went to sleep. It was almost twelve last night when she came back home. She couldn't even close her eyes without remembering what happened.She had fun yesterday with Mr Smith. He had asked her to suggest a place

"I must say I got quite a shock when I saw your phone call, Victoria. It's been long, how have you been?" Landon asked.Victoria chuckled lightly as she helped herself sit on the chair in the VIP session of the bar. She had not expected Landon to tell her to meet him here. When she called him this morning, she wondered if she was supposed to have a talk with him after all he never confessed his feelings for her and she had no idea about anything so if she went ahead and dated Mr Smith, it wasn't her problem but then again she felt bad.Mr Smith felt he was the one that was supposed to have the talk with Landon and not Victoria but Victoria insisted on having her own conversation with him."I've been good. It's been such a long time since I last heard from you, I hope you have been living well?" She asked with a smile on her face.Landon shrugged. "Someone missed me?" His brows raised in a questioning manner as he teased her."Maybe so or not. So tell me, have you been fine?" She quest

"I must say it's been quite long since I saw you. Where have you been?" Mr Smith asked Landon as soon as Landon sat down on the couch in his office."And I must say all these while you didn't call or ask about my whereabouts or what I was doing." Landon retorted with a smirk."So Jason, what do you have for me? I'm thirsty." Landon spoke."Stand up and get yourself something from the fridge." Mr Smith replied."Is that how you treat your guests? I must say you are quite bad at this all. Bad hospitality and bad manners. You wouldn't even come to find me if I didn't come to you." Landon tells him."My bad. So how have you been and what have you been up to?" Mr Smith asked.Landon pinched the bridge of his nose as he crossed his legs. "I got promoted and I got transferred." Landon answered casually."What? Are you for real? Congratulations Landon. You got transferred to London?" Mr Smith asked."Yes and I am the COO." He told him."That's good news. How do we celebrate? I'm done for it."

She was finally going to end all of this and come to a conclusion with Elizabeth. "What do you want?" Was the first word Elizabeth said the moment she answered the call. "I want us to meet," Victoria replied. "Meet? Why would I want to meet someone like you? You are literally not worth my time and I do not want to waste any time with you. I'd obviously be foolish to create time for someone as worthless as you," Elizabeth spat out. "I am only asking if we meet. It's nothing serious. I need us to talk," Victoria spoke, trying to keep her temper at bay. She didn't want Elizabeth to suddenly end the call while she was talking.

The moment everyone left and it was just Mr Smith and Mr lucky, Mr lucky decided to ask what had been in his mind since he heard what the actual problem was. "Are you sleeping with Miss Perkins?" Mr Smith was taken aback by Mr Lucky's question as he had not expected him to be so direct about it. "Are you?" Me lucky asked again, his brows rose up slightly in a questioning manner. "She's my girlfriend," he answered. He didn't want to say yes to Mr Lucky's question and male it seem like Victoria wasn't important to him and he was using her to pass time. "You are not surprised?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky as he noticed Mr lucky had not reacted as he imagined. "Yes. It's surprising right?" Mr Lucky asked and Mr Smith hummed. "Why is that so?" Mr Smith asked, wanting to know. "Well, it's easy. You remember what you told me when I asked you why?" Mr Lucky asked. Mr Smith thought back to the time Mr lucky had asked him why he chose Victoria as a part of the programming team. "Where are you drivi

Mr Smith was surprised to see Mr Lucky in his office as he wasn't expecting him. What surprised him were the people that followed behind him and most especially Victoria. As he took a closer look at her, he saw tears in her eyes and his heart clenched. What happened to her? He thought to himself as he diverted his attention back to Mr Smith. "It seems we have got very unprofessional programmers in this company and I think it's time we remove them and recruit new ones," Mr Lucky said the moment he sat down on the chair. Rebecca played with her fingers whole avoiding contact with Mr Smith. Flora and Maryanne were ready to defend their cause as they believed they only did what was right. "What happened?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky frantically. "I do not know what happened but these programmers are now children and have decided to engage I'm fist fights and pulling each other's hair," Mr Lucky spoke sternly. Mr Smith looked at Victoria for some seconds before looking away. She wasn't involve

A scowl formed on Rebecca's face immediately. She thought to herself what Elizabeth had in mind and why she was creating a scene. "You all want to know the truth right and then I shall tell you," Elizabeth said. Rebecca got up from her seat and in anger she walked towards Elizabeth. "You are not allowed here and who are you? Leave this instance before I call the guards on you," Rebecca warned but Elixir could care less. Nobody was going to stop her from saying what she had in mind today and she doesn't care about the consequences. She refused to lose to Victoria and so she will drag Victoria to the mud. "Your precious college here is fucking your boss!" Elizabeth exclaimed, making everyone in the room shocked by her revelation.

"This girl here name Victoria is nothing but a slut because she's fucking your boss Mathew Jason Smith!" She made sure to call Mr Smith by his full

Mr Smith shook his head in disbelief. Elizabeth's attitude had changed all of a sudden once he asked if she would take the opportunity to be his girlfriend. The same girl that had acted as if she loved her best friend could suddenly care less about her and it baffled him. "So you would date me now if I asked you to?" Mr Smith asked and she nodded her head. "Of course. I mean..." She shrugged. Mr Smith got up from his chair, having heard enough from her. He didn't want to stay in the same place as her or have any conversation with her anymore. "Are you leaving?" Elizabeth asked as Mt Smith got up on his feet. "This conversation is over," he said sternly, surprising her by his action. "Over?" Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was he talking about and why did his attitude suddenly change? She thought to herself. "Yes Elizabeth. I do not want to ever speak to you again. I hope this is the last time we ever speak to one another again," he tells her in a stern manner. Elizabeth got up f

'Let meet up.' Elizabeth read the message sent to her by Mr Smith out loud. A frantic expression formed on her face. They had no plans to meet today so why was he suddenly expecting them to meet. She quickly typed her reply. 'Sure.' Not too long Mr Smith sent the address to her and she texted a reply that she would be meeting him when she closes from work. "It's done," Mr Smith said to Victoria. "So she'd be coming to meet you then. I'm nervous," Victoria sighed. Mr Smith rubbed her shoulder that was exposed softly. "You don't have to be. Things will work out fine," he assured her. She heaved a deep breath. "The truth is, I really want to make things right with her. I want to put friendship back. I miss her so much but I fear that it would never be the same," Victoria tells him. "It will be fine. I will just talk to her as we planned and clarify the whole situation and then you guys will be good again," he tells her but she has doubts. The Elizabeth that spoke to her the night she lef
To Love and To Lust 2 54
That was all Victoria needed to hear. To know that her man doesn't see her as a mad woman was enough for her."Babe, come on. Tell me already. What happened between the both of you. What's going on because I do not want to be lost in all of this. Weren't you guys best friends? What happened and why does she have to say you have mental issues?" He inquired.Victoria opened her mouth to say something but she closed it back. How does she start? She thought to herself."Elizabeth and I are childhood friends, not just friends but best friends. We grew up together, went to the same high school and same college and graduated the same year. To be honest the problem between us is still baffling me.""If someone had told me that my best friend and I would no longer share the same close bond with one another again, I would have doubted. I would have fought that person because it was impossible for Elizabeth and I to stay away from each other. We were more than friends but sisters.""Our relation
