Let's talk now, shall we?

last update Last Updated: 2024-01-11 02:32:31

After what happened with my mother, I left the office. Instead of eating in the office or ordering food in, I left. I needed air.

So I decided to go to the restaurant that one of my friends just opened and has been pestering me to visit. She was not exactly a friend to me, since we only met and knew each other during university days and we studied the same course.

She was the version of someone that followed and pursued her dreams leaving her father's money. Thought that cost her being cut off from the family, according to what she told me. But, she was doing fine for herself. She had different branches in town and in other states.

We met recently at an event, so she's literally been on my neck to come visit. I respected the lady a lot even though I did not show it.

Immediately she saw me from behind the counter that she was, a big smile made its way to her face like she had been expecting me.

"Look who finally picked my invitation." She chirped. After looking around and quickly

  • What they never knew   This was nice

    I couldn't take my eyes off of him. It was like I was on drugs. Contrary to my opinion from what Tam had told me from the other time, I felt the opposite. Well, it was not like I had my eyes glued on him or something, but there was nothing bad if I had a snicker peak at him. And the ugly head of jealousy was insane. I've not felt like this in so long. When we were together then, I didn't exactly have to deal with jealous women. It only happened anytime we went out on dates and all of that. And it was more like pride. But right now, I wanted to stand up from where I was sitting right now and pull that woman, whoever she was from where she was sitting, in front of him. They look like they know each other. And every second that Charles payed attention to her made me mad and angry. "Are you even listening to what I am saying right now?" The voice of Tam jerked me back to the present. "What? Sorry, what did you say?" I asked in a resigned tone because I knew she had caught me again. A

  • What they never knew   What the hell?

    As much as I wasn't expecting Tam to be serious with what she had said the other day, Friday came quite fast and I found myself in the situation where I have to sit down in the mirror in front of me and endure her putting makeup on my face. "I've said it a hundred times already that I do not need makeup. I do not know why you are adamant on putting it on my face." I said immediately she did something wrong on my face. "Shut up." She snapped immediately and I did. To be really honest, I knew it looked nice. It just was not something that I was a fan of. I did not like it at all. It made me feel a little out of place and I hate it. I might suddenly break into a sweat. It was not like the makeup will move from where it was, I just will not feel comfortable with myself. "Here. Done." She clapped her hands like she had just achieved something big. She stood behind me as I looked at myself in the mirror. "You look good, babe. Not like you dont look pretty without the face beating, but r

  • What they never knew   Well, fuck me

    I've been on the edge since that day that we met at Anna's restaurant. I knew Gwen well. I will even think that I knew her more than she knows herself. What I heard her friend say the other day bothered me a bit. I knew she would not go, if it were up to her. But with the way Miss Brooks was serious with her tone then, I knew she'd literally drag her along to go with her. Which had gotten me to the part where I have to call her to be sure she was at home on a Friday night. And it has been made known to me that she was not. With the way she sounded and slurred on the phone few minutes ago, she was drunk already and in a club. Not just any one, but my club. How I got to know it was when the DJ mentioned the name in the middle of the whole hype they do. And I knew the kind of people that came there. Sleezy rich, bratty kids. The idea of any other man talking to her, or less touching her made me bytn with anger and that made me increase the acceleration of the car that was already spe

  • What they never knew   Sweet, little kitty

    Different thoughts ran through my head as I was in the big tub in the bathroom. I wanted to deny it but I knew that it was comfortable. It gave gave me this sense if relief that I have not felt in a while. Soaking in the tub was not something I had the luxury to do Imin my own home. Putting that aside, I was here. Here in his house. Shit.Well, my drunken ass's could still remember the time he asked to take me to my house and I blantantly refused. Not my fault. You should know by now. Charlie was not not home, so there was no way he would meet her. But, Charles was a very keen person. He'd notice the stuff that was around, which belonged to a child and I don't want to raise any suspicion. I could tell him it was the daughter of Tam. But given the kind of smart person that he was, it was only a matter of time before her found out. Few hours precisely. I was still surprised that he has not noticed that I had a daughter. Because, I was sure that he ran a background check in me and I

  • What they never knew   What have I done?

    My eyes went wide immediately I felt his fingers slip between my folds. And he did not waste any time as his fingers started to move skillfully in between me. My mouth opened on its own like I wanted to say something but nothing came out. All I felt was immense pleasure and I felt like my whole body would burst from the amount of emotions I was feeling right now. "Ch…. Charlie….st…s.top…." My derailed mind tried to bring me back to this phase. Deep within me, I knew there was no going back from this. No coming back at all. I just wanted to think that I had a little bit of control over my own body. But, sadly, I did not. "What was that, princess? Did you say something?" His index finger circled my clit and I almost went mad. "Fuck." He slapped my pussy and I was almost embarrassed at how wet it sounded. I was sure by now, I'd be dripping to the floor. Because, I could feel the way my inner thighs were in a mess. "What did I tell you about using curse words? Hmm? And about callin

  • What they never knew   Have a good day

    Monday came faster than I had anticipated. As much as I like to call in that I'll not be available, I knew it would not be wise. Knowing the kind of man that Charles was, he'd want to know the reason I did not show up at work. Probably, locate my house if he wanted to. And that was not what I wanted. I didn't want him to be closer to my personal life than he already was. And I already came to the conclusion that what happened on Friday was solely my fault. Not the fact that I have been celibate for over six years. It was solely on me. I was at fault and I did all of it. If only I had put myself apart and stood my ground against him. What happened wouldn't have. It was not like I had the power to do so then. I was all fidgety right now, because I knew that in a few minutes he'll be here. During the weekend, I had made it a must to spend more time with Charlie to get my mind off what had happened. Not that it was actually easy. Any move I made still made me remember. Was it possibl

  • What they never knew   Exactly what to use against him

    AUTHOR'S POVShe stared into space like there was actually something there to look at. When in reality of it, there was nothing. She's been blanking out more since the day she saw Charles bring her into the house. She did not think she would ever see Gwen again. There was no way she'd be able to live with herself without telling Charles what happened. She'd planned it all these years but she could not come up with anything to do since she was scared. She should have done it immediately what happened in the house then. Since she saw it happen. From the argument, to the pushing, and the fakeness the Madame had used to cover it all up. She made sure no one in the house said a word about it to Charles then. She fired most people that she felt like she could not trust and kept a few of us. She left the house on her own and decided to work for Charles when he fully moved out too. The days when Charles came home distraught and drunk, her tension heightened. Always scared and felt like sh

  • What they never knew   Like I know

    Things kind of went to normal the way they used to be before. Or so it seemed. I fell into my routine and Charles came when he has too to check out what was going on. It was all going to be over very soon. Since I made sure to speed up his work. As much as I liked looking at him, I did not want him around me at all. The earlier days after what happens between us, he came around more often. Wearing the hickey on his neck like a proud lover. It was like he did it intentionally to irk me. Make me feel uncomfortable. If that was what he wanted to do, he actually did it. The ladies around got to notice him and they were all drooling over him on how he was bold enough to show the sign of ownership on his neck and how they will kill for their man to do same. It was all so annoying and disgusting to have other women talk about him in that manner. Not like I was affected or anything. I'm sure that Tam noticed the way I was behaving but decided not to say anything about it. I get where she

  • What they never knew   Where did we stop?

    GwenI should stop this. This is not okay at all. I should not indulge in it. I should make him pay for doing this to me. He had no right whatsoever to touch me this way or make me feel the things that he was making me feel. This was all wrong. I should not feel horny because my ex-fiancee was touching me all over, and I was allowing him to. I indulged him. This is not me. Not at all.The fact that I was the strong one that did not allow any man to touch me for all these years does not mean that I did not have any self-respect or that I didn't have needs. I was not attracted to other men mainly. But there were some other nights where my feelings got the best of me and I touched myself thinking of him. It has only been him for me. No other man. Still, it doesn't make any sense that I succumb like this. “Stop, this Charles. Let go of me.” I said with all of the strength I had and pushed his head away from my boobs. My hands were on either side of his head, and I was about to remove

  • What they never knew   The audacity only I have

    GwenThe pressure in front of my head was building, and I knew I had to stop working, or I'd pass out, or something worse would happen. I looked around through the windows and no one was in their cubicle any longer. It was just me. I took the cup of coffee to sip again but then I discovered that there was nothing in it any longer. Well, shit. I was thinking of going to the employees’ common room that was on this floor to see if I could get something that would keep me for a while when my phone started ringing. Looking at it, it was Adeline. A tired smile made its way to my face. It's been a while since I spoke to her. God knows I'm a bad person. “Adeline.” I dragged out and I'm sure my tiredness showed with the way I said her name. I might as well have given myself up. “Tell me you're in your house right now.” She said sternly in her usual tone. I smiled. “I'm at home, not the house.” I taunted. I knew she'd understand the wordplay. “Can you stop pushing yourself so hard already

  • What they never knew   I hate you

    GwenRain splattered on the sidewalk, and everywhere looked a bit messy, but that did not stop people from going to work or getting what they had to do. Everywhere was so busy I blamed myself a little for wanting to go out to get myself coffee. I did it in an attempt to walk and stretch a little from work. But then, since I got to this place, I've had my foot stepped on, been bumped into and my purse thrown to the ground. Who knew the whole of this street would be this busy? But then, I loved my walks when I had the chance to have them which wasn't every time. I take them up when I have the chance. And now, I needed to clear my head about a few things. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I made sure I was on the safe side before I brought it out of my pocket to avoid any more issues this evening. The reason I am drinking coffee this time of the day is that I am staying overnight at work. “Hello.” I swiped the caller ID and spoke into the phone without checking the caller. “You bette

  • What they never knew   We needed to talk

    Gwen's POV “What?!” The whole room resonated with her shout. I almost jumped out of my chair in response to her reaction. It was not surprising though. She always reacted overly. “Are you saying what I think you're saying?” She asked in a hushed tone like someone would walk in and catch her. I shrugged in reply. “What do you think?” I said silently. I felt a little embarrassed and I'm sure my cheeks turned pink just confessing to her what I'd done. “I know you two have a past, and the man is fine as hell, but he's the enemy and you know it.” She sounded with so much conviction that I felt like a child who had been scolded by her mother. “I know. I know. I…I..don't even know how to explain myself right now. It just happened.” I said to her almost in a lamenting voice. “No matter what happens, he's still your enemy for now. Fine, you work together a little but you should know that he wants to take your child away from you. Well, I'm sure that is what will happen if he knows about

  • What they never knew   We almost had sex

    Gwen's POV I sighed gently as I placed my head on the window sill beside my dress. Funny how I could not bring myself to sleep all these days. So instead of wasting the days away, I worked my ass off instead. I didn't give room for unnecessary thoughts even though they came along. Between different meetings and work calls, I made sure that there was still work in between. There is no avenue for unnecessary thoughts. Why? Because they were not worth it. Tam has been on my ass, telling me to rest and all, but how can I tell her the reason why I am working myself so hard was that I didn't want to be a scapegoat for my thoughts of my ex-fiancee and what I allowed him to do to me? Even the thought of it made my cheek burn. “Boss?” I jerked back to the present when I felt someone tap me. “Yes?” I sighed inwardly, not liking the fact that I went off again. “I'm sorry. Did you say something?” I asked. “No. I wanted to remind you that you are done and the dress needs to be taken to the s

  • What they never knew   You taste like heaven

    Charles POV I knew what was going on in her mind and what she meant to do by doing this. I knew that she planned to hate me because of this later and probably pin it all on me. But even after knowing all of this, I still indulged her. I could not resist. She knew how much she affected me. The effect she had on me, no woman has ever held a candlelight even up to it, and she'd use that against me. I hated how much I loved the feel of her lips against mine and how warm it felt. It felt like being home after a long time. She felt like home. Bringing myself to the present, I pulled away from her gently. My eyes were still closed, but I could still feel her eyes on me. I forced them open to look at her. Desire hazed her eyes. She missed me too. She knew deep in her mind that we belonged together, and there was nothing that could stop whatever it was that was going on between us right now. I hate how much it hurts. “Don't do this, Gwen. Pl..please.” I hate how weak I become bec

  • What they never knew   Shut the fuck up

    “I'll drop you off at home.” His voice jerked me out of the thoughts that was swirling in my head. Since our ordeal the other time, I've not had it in me to sleep at all. I could not close my eyes talk less sleep. “What?” “You have made it a habit of making me repeat what I say right?” He replied me. “Oh. Sorry. But I can get myself home by myself.” I said to him. I was already planning on doing so before he said it. I stood up from the bed ignoring his presence and made my way to the bathroom. Needing to wash my face and put myself in order before I left. I felt much more better than I was throughout the whole of yesterday. Only God knows what he gave to me. But whatever it is, I really appreciated it. It was like I as never sick. I sighed as I threw water on my face. After I was done with that, I threw my hair up in a messy bun. It was strange how I was not shy around the man to say the least. There should be this level of shyness where I should feel like he should not see my

  • What they never knew   You're so predictable

    I shut my eyes immediately when I opened them. They felt too heavy. I felt as though bricks were tied at the edge of my eyes and pulled them apart. This is really terrible. After a few minutes of battling within myself, I forced myself to open my eyes. The ceiling looked unfamiliar so a feeling of fear gripped me. What was I doing in this place? Before I could put two and two together, I heard Charles' voice. “Calm down. You're safe.” Immediately I heard his voice, my frayed nerves calmed instantly. Don't ask me why, I don't know why myself. It's a reflex reaction that just happened. I looked towards the direction of where the voice came from and I saw him sitting on a chair that was somewhere in the corner of the room. He had a book in his hands like he was reading it and a pair of glasses perched on his nose. Don't ask me how I can see that too, I just saw it. But when did he start using glasses? The question found its way to my mind. “You like it? I started using it a few year

  • What they never knew   You better get used to it.

    I was sitting in his arms in a comfortable silence a few minutes later. It felt like the silence was comfortable but it was nowhere near the turmoil going on within me. As much as I wanted to be in his arms, we needed to talk. Maybe I've been overreacting all of these while. Maybe it was all my fault. I can't get over the fact of what happened to him. It's exhilarating. “We need to talk.” I said simply and I felt him stiffen behind me. Here goes nothing and everything. “Yeah. We need to.” He affirmed and I nodded like I wanted his permission to actually go ahead to talk. “About Charlie, I think we can work around something. Probably get you to meet her and introduce you to her officially.” I said. It was easier said than I had anticipated or expected. I did not expect it to be that easy for me to say. Maybe I already knew that this day would come and that I'd have to talk about it sooner or later. And my mind knew that I could turn Charles away for so long. Hearing about the ac
