The car was moving at a normal pace. Trying to keep up with his speed, but I was anxious. I had to be careful not to be caught. For a moment, I thought about turning back and heading towards the house. If he wanted to go anywhere after work, that's on him. The drive was a bit too long, and I occasionally pushed my head to the driver's side to check if we were still on track with him.After what felt like eternity, he pulled up in front of a luxurious private club, at the outskirts of town. What was he doing here? I silently prayed he hadn't come here to do the obvious– drink and return home drunk, and get angry over flimsy things.I tucked some dollar bills into the driver's hands, "Thank you for your services," I said with a smile, "Um… do you mind waiting for me until I come back?" I asked.He hesitated, "Madam I don't–"I sighed, "I'll pay you double the price when I get back," I mumbled. His face lit up "Fine, I'll be waiting," he said with a groan.I grinned, "Thank you," I grabb

I tried to wrap my mind around what was happening but I couldn't do it. I knew this wasn't a dream. I had only succeeded in escaping reality for a few hours before slipping back into it. I felt like my head was empty, I wasn't thinking straight anymore. My eyes were bleary– if Audrey would just walk into the house and tell me all of these was a nightmare.I gritted my teeth when I remembered she had decided to settle with that jerk Andres. Of all people Audrey! I rested my head on the car. It was no news that I still craved for her… she knew it…he knew. That's a valid reason why they always put up a show in front of me at the club.And, I was too shameless to stay away from them. Every night I drove there hoping I was hallucinating and what was playing in front of me wasn't actually happening– I cursed Andres under my breath. Why do I feel like all of these were intentional? I tried to wrap my head around the fact that they had just started seeing each other, and it was a fling that w

"She isn't in her office," Laura, my secretary said, placing the documents I had sent her to give to Samantha. I turned my attention to her."What are you saying?" I was perplexed."Miss Emily said, she hasn't come to the office…,""All morning?" I questioned, a little confused. This was a new development, she was always in time to the office and when I stopped going with her, she still made it equally as early.I shrugged. I didn't want to give it much thought, it was just past nine a.m in the morning, maybe she was caught up in something. I turned my attention back to my laptop, "Alright you may go, I'll call you when I need you," I said."Very well then Sir," Laura said and left. When it was two p.m and my secretary informed me over the phone that she wasn't in the office. It was then her actions got me thinking. Had she finally gotten the cue and left? Was she tired of the shitty attitude I made her put up with for a few weeks now? I had so many thoughts. I leaned into my chair, t

My heart skipped a beat at Lucas' words. I sat and straightened up, I wasn't quite certain if I was ready for any bad news that would spoil the happiness that radiated from within him. I pouted my lips waiting for him to speak.Lucas swerved the car to the other side of the road and pulled over, the chills from the air conditioning added to my anxiety. He turned to face me and cupped my chin in his hands and smiled. I forced a smile back at him that disappeared when his expression turned serious. "Is there a problem?" I almost said "here we go again""No, I want to tell you a little bit about me…" he clicked open the seat belt and tapped the steering with his fingers– he was nervous. Lucas acting vulnerable in front of me was a little off and exciting at the same time. My ears itched to hear what he wanted to say."I don't want to come off as boring so I'll go straight to the point," he said. I smiled, he was acting soft that night and one would think I did something more than a surpr

The exertion I felt after the strenuous exercise I had just done made it difficult to express myself. Lucas' demeanor changed after he dropped the call and my ears itched to hear what the emergency was. My heart raced with different thoughts. If there was an emergency that meant one of us had to act accordingly and support and it was me.He tried to walk away again but I held him back, "I need you to get a hold of yourself," I said.He rolled his eyes, "Oh Samantha but I can't," he said, "I need to get out of here as soon as I can,"Before I could say another word he dashed through the stairs, to the room. I ran as fast as my heavy legs permitted, holding the rails for support. I didn't know how he did it but by the time I got to the room he was coming out of the shower smelling of lavender– my shower gel.I would normally laugh but whatever made Lucas lose his mind that he didn't notice when he used my shower gel was very serious. He pulled over a black leather jacket and walked over
