CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

DIANAIt's been one week since my resolution with Bryan, we still haven't talked about his move, but he promised me that he would think about it and let me know his final verdict, which I'm hoping will be to stay back, and even if he doesn't get to stay back, I'm hoping we can find a compromise.I hope with every inch of me that I don't sound selfish everytime I wished that he would stay back, I'm just not ready to let a good thing go.I checked the little box he gave to me in the car that day, and it was a locket. It had a portrait that he sneak took of me on our third date on one side of the locket, and my favorite quote on the other side: “Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.”_Williams Shakespeare (The tempest).It made me smile so much that I forgot he was going to leave, and it made me realize I didn't want to lose Bryan. This past one week has been busy for me, I had field work for some hot news, and Bryan had back to back surgeries. So we've basically been living off te

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

BRYANI wake up to a text from Kel reminding me of the family meeting, it's in a week's time and I MUST attend. This text most certainly might have ruined my day if I didn't just get a text from Diana. _‘Yay, It's Friday! I can't wait to see you this evening. Kisses’_I never knew butterflies in the stomach were a thing till I met this Diana... I get them everytime I look at her, everytime I touch her, or feel her touch, I get them everytime something has to do with Diana. These damn feelings I'm yet to understand. Somebody help!********“I can't believe you haven't made a decision, can you not see clearly what is right to do?”Those are the words that leave the mouth of my trusted colleague, Mike, regarding my transfer offer to Maine. I wonder how everyone thinks it's so easy to just leave behind an opportunity you've been waiting on for years when it finally comes. This might not be the real deal breaker, but it's a beautiful start, and I really want to take it, I wish it was more

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

DIANABryan's body frame against mine sends a rush through me, it feels strong and fierce, two things that I am not, there's so much difference in the ways we explore each other, and I so gladly take delight in our differences. My hands move gracefully in his hair as we make our way to the bedroom, while I undress him. I help him out of his shirt and slide his trousers down his thighs as he steps out of them, but he leaves me fully dressed. When we get to the edge of the bed, he spins me around so that his chest touches my back, and I stand still at the feeling of him against me.“Tell me if I do something you don't like, okay?” His authoritativeness especially in that deep and horny voice, sends chills through me.“Okay, I will.” I respond, my voice barely making it through.His hands gathers my hair, but softly, like he's avoiding what has happened the past two times.“Is this okay? Me touching your hair like this, is it okay?”“Y__ yes.” I moan out.“Don't make those sounds D, I'm

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

BRYAN“Diana? Diana?” I call out her name for thirty seconds, restricting myself from touching her.Her face looks as though it has gone pale, and I'm certain I have done something wrong, maybe it's her hair or the way I touch it, only, I don't know exactly what triggers her when I touch her hair.“I'm sorry... I just... I cou... I couldn't... I_ I'm sorry.” She stammers, her eyes are closed and pressed tightly together.Her eyes are red and they look teary but not even a drop of tear exits her eyes.“Can I move closer to you?”“Ye__ yes, sure. I'm really sorry.” She says in a shaky breath.“It's really okay. I promise.”I grab a shirt from the closet behind me and I hand it to her, looking away as she puts it on. After 10 seconds, I turn back to face her, and I sit beside her, I want to place my hands on her, but I hesitate, just incase I or my touches happen to the the problem.“What's wrong D? I don't want to make assumptions but I noticed you always retract when I touch your hair.

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

DIANAMy eyes open to familiar blinds as I wake up dazed. I look around and realize I'm still in Bryan's house, and I'm in his shirt. I have little to no memory of what happened before I slept off, so I use a few minutes to think back before my memory clicks... I told him about my childhood trauma. I sigh, “Oh my God Diana, you just really had to!” I whisper to myself. I look at the clock on the wall and the time reads 9:03am. I really slept in. I stand up from the bed and walk to the blinds, I open them slightly, as I take in the view from here. The area is quite sparse, but with very large beautiful buildings, all in the same structure and arrangement, which must make it an estate. It's especially very quiet and very perfect for a private life, it probably costs a fortune though.I move to the huge mirror by the blinds, and I stare at myself for some minutes. I love myself in Bryan's shirt. I tilt my head to the side and smile. “You should keep it, I like it better on you.” I tur

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

BRYANI sit on the floor, among broken glass wares, struggling not to rethink my decision, and apparently failing, as I begin to weigh the pros and cons once again, and again and over again, but it's all still coming to one conclusion. I have to go.My awareness of the space around me reduces very badly, and I feel tight and enclosed. I take two deep breaths, and make my way to my feet, calmly and very silently, as I clean up the mess I made. And I decide to go to Mike's, to let him know my decision, and also to explain to him.********Mike's apartment is locked, so I decide to wait for him on the roof. I subconsciously open the door and drag my feet across the concrete floor, and then my eyes meet the hair of a familiar person. Diana. She's relaxed on chair, gently sipping her drink, and completely unaware that she has company.I contemplate going to her a few times, just before I have the courage to walk to her.“Miss Walter.”“Oh my, I'm so sorry I just needed fresh air, and I__”

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

DIANAThe last time I set my eyes on Bryan was about a week ago, on the roof top. While something in me wished he had followed me and plead for a way to make things work, another part of me did not want to see an inch of him and was ready to punch him in the face [or groin] if he had even tried to stop me. Either way, what can I say? I've been good... NOT. Yh, I've not been good. On some days or random occasions, the tears just flow, so easily, and for the stupidest reason being a guy. I only console myself with reason that everybody goes through things like this, and it's okay to let the tears out, no use caging your emotions.My life has always been enclosed by walls, walls to protect me of what I went through as a little girl, walls to protect me from men like my father, and to protect me from being as fragile as my mother. I let those walls down for Bryan, because it just made sense, it made sense to be loved and allow yourself be loved, but now nothing makes sense.You know how

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

BRYANMy drive back home from the so called family meeting was in a state of haze, I might have kept my cool back at the family house, but I was absolutely fuming. Once again, I keep my anger and frustration to myself, and no one notices, because it has always been like this, just me and my emotions, bottled up even so much so that I myself don't pay attention to what I feel.********My flight for Maine leaves early tomorrow, so I decide to say my final goodbyes to Mike and maybe, most hopefully, Diana.I pack my things and get them ready for the next day, and in the process of packing, I find Diana's hair pin in my closet. It's a little pin, just a little pin, and it shouldn't mean anything, but for the first time in the many years of my life, that pin brought back so many memories, and it arose many emotions. Emotions that are making me weigh pros and cons once again, but I shake them off with a chuckle.I bought the pin for Diana on one of our many numerous dates to my favorite pl

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

DIANAAnd in the blink of an eye, almost literally, the 21st is here, and I'm not as enthusiastic as I was to go on the vacation anymore. Seeing Daniel and Miss LA girlfriend is just not appealing, they are cute, but not so much so when I'm trying to get over my ex. So now they just make me want to puke, but in a cute way. Sigh.By 6am, we are on the road to South California, and I'm having none of it. The roads are bumpy, the whole place is foggy and these two love birds in front are jamming and singing along to fucking love songs. “I wonder why we had to go this fucking early, the trip isn't even more than two hours you know.” I protest.Daniel's LA girlfriend stretches her neck to view me as I shout from the back seat, and I squeeze my eyes and purse my lips to make a “What?” face in her direction, without saying anything.“Ignore her Mira, Diana is just always cranky in the mornings, and also hates to travel by road, bumpy ones most especially.” Daniel defends, only, I don't know

CHAPTER THIRTY

BRYANFirst of all, Wow. Wow because the weather here is not what I at all imagined. I literally had to rush to the nearest convenience store on landing here to get padded jackets, it's so cold. And quite sadly, I haven't had my car brought here yet, I'm giving it some time, so public transport has been the go to way.Maine is small, and from what I've seen, has less job opportunities and quite a higher cost of living, which is one of the reasons this job was very exclusive. Work has been particularly hectic, I literally never worked like this in my life, and it's only been few days. There have been back to back surgeries, researches, meetings and paper work, and I'm only given a few hours break, I barely get time to talk to anyone, which is the only reason why I haven't even tried to call Diana. I don't feel like I should talk about Diana, but what else occupies my thoughts these days? What else has occupied my thoughts for the past few months?Everything reminds me of her. And it
