"Kat? Kat? Katrina!!!"
"Yes, what, why?""Are you okay? It seems you are not listening and you are in your own world,"Jordan said."No, I am fine,""Not sure, because you haven't been listening to me, and you have this lost look, did something happen with him?""Not really,"Katrina said trying to gather her thoughts and put them in order, there wasn't an issue, she panicked and overreacted, the stress of the last couple of days might be the reason, they were in her room and have been talking about the things they have been up to and she had blanked out without knowing."Are you sure?""Nothing happened okay,""Well, you left the party holding hands with the boss and came back alone, and now you look like a lost soul, I can't help but be worried,""There is no reason to be worried Jord, I am okay and also I wasn't holding hands with the boss, he dragged me out of the party,""Didn't seem like dragging to me and the others"What should we do on our last night in Arizona?"Lucas asked sitting close to her on the bed. Most people who came for the ceremony already left, the new bride and groom were already in the Bahamas where they were having their honeymoon, only a few relatives, Lucas parents and the both of them were left in the mansion, even Lucy and her kids already left, it was pretty much quiet compared to last week or two days ago, she laid on the bed with her eyes closed. "Hmm, anything you wanna do,"She answered she wasn't feeling too happy about this ending because she knew this would be their last night together when they leave for New York tomorrow this will all be over, but she couldn't let him see her pains, not when she gave him her words that she won't catch feelings."How about we have a picnic in the desert area?""What? A desert? Do you wanna get me killed?""I didn't mean somewhere far, it still within the mansion, it just not opens all the time, "
"Thank you so much for everything Katrina, I had the best time during these past weeks, do have a rest,"He said as he dropped her off at her house, she looked so tired that he felt guilty for not letting her sleep last night, but he couldn't be blamed, he wanted to have enough of her, now that they are back in New York, things will go back to normal and whatever happened in California and Arizona stays in both places, he had expected her to sleep during the flight back to New York but she had been awake the whole time and absorbed into her own world, and had not said anything to him throughout the flight."Thank you too, I had an amazing time,"She said hugging him before she opened the car door to leave, he wanted to pull her back into the car and kiss her but he knew if he does that here in New York it will be different, whatever they had ended at the airport in Arizona, he should do well to remember that."Alright, I got to go, see you next week,"He rep
Katrina walked into the office feeling exhausted even though the day just started, she wished to be anywhere but here, these past three weeks had been harder than she had anticipated, every day and every hour in Lucas presence was torture, she was at her limit, but she seemed to be the only one going through hell because he looked just fine and talked with her like nothing happened between them, it took everything in her not to scream at him, she made sure to avoid him as much as she could but that wasn't much successful because she had to be everywhere with him, she hated the fact that she was suffering in silence, she had considered quitting but had decided not to because she couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth when he asks for her reason for quitting.She entered her office and prayed he was out, seemed like the universe was on her side because he wasn't in his office, she sat down with her coffee in hand, took a sip of it."Just another day to get through Katy
"Are you free this weekend Kat?"He asked while they laid in bed together later that night, he had his arms around her and she was laying atop his chest, he liked having her close, three weeks, for three weeks he tried every possible means to keep her off, he went to the office less, went on some meetings without her, talked to her like he did before, but whatever he did, it just made him want her more until he couldn't take it anymore, she didn't make it easy for him either, coming into the office looking all sexy and beautiful, he had fought with himself until he saw no point in punishing himself and her when they both wanted each other and she knew what this was about."Yes sure, anything?""Yes, I want us to go out,""Oh,""Is that all you have to say? Oh?""Uh-huh, I don't know what to say, are we celebrating something,""Yes we are and we both did it together, so yes we should celebrate together,"He replied, he had gotten the mail earli
"Wow, I must say this is worth every penny, Oh my God, why did he sell, he could have just kept this place running, maybe add a few buildings,"Katrina said as they walked around the huge estate, immediately they had driven into the estate, she had marveled at how big it was, and now touring the various part just proved that it was bigger than she had thought initially, it was mainly lands, houses in the estate were not much and scattered about but the land was huge, it could take hours to work from one end to the other."Reuben doesn't have a use for it, if he didn't sell it would just be here, it's practical to sell since he is now fully based in California."True, but still, it's gonna take a lot of money to put this place to perfect,""Yeah, work starts soon, we are removing all of the old buildings and adding better ones, a hotel, and other stuff,""Amazing,"She said, turning around, the estate was huge, she wondered what happened to everyone who
"Did I say anything wrong or do you just wanna pick a fight with me?""Of course, there is everything wrong with what you said and if you don't see it then I don't know what to make of you,""What are you getting at Katrina? Mind your language, last I checked I am still the boss,""Did I say otherwise, I am sorry boss, I was on my own when you asked me to come here with you, if you had told me this outing was work-related maybe I won't have said those words and just maybe you won't have thought I am getting favors from you because we are sleeping together,"She replied, she was shouting now and he still couldn't see what he said that was wrong, yes he agreed that he brought them here to celebrate but also they had work to do, the next couple of months will be busy, and that's what he said, so why was she taking it the wrong way."I don't know why you are offended by what I said, but can we just stop this argument? We have a lot to do,""Did I say otherw
"What did you say?"He asked and suddenly she couldn't keep it in anymore, she wanted more and deserved more, she couldn't keep this up if there was going to be nothing for her."I said I want more, I deserve more, I can't settle for crumbs anymore, I can't be your fuck buddy anymore,"She yelled, he walked past her and locked his office door before coming back to her."Fuck buddy?""That's what we are, isn't it? Or what are we?""Katrina,""I want more okay?"She let out raising her hands up."Kat, we talked about this, why are you doing this right now? And at the office at that,""Why? But we have slept together here a whole lot of times, so why is it a problem if I want this to end here too? And yes we did talk a lot it and you agreed to let me go if ever I wanted more so here is me saying I want out, I can't do this anymore,"She let out, willing herself not to cry, she has prepared herself for this moment right from their f
He should have known this was going to happen, he thought, as he sat on the plane going home to Arizona a week after his fight with Katrina, he still couldn't get her words out of his head, she has been in love with him for a long time? Was that why she agreed to their affair? Did she think she could make him marry her? Was that her goal from the beginning? He just couldn't get his head around Katrina coming up with such ideas, she messed up by catching feelings and she was gonna deal with the consequences, the only reason he was still thinking about her was because he hadn't been ready to end what they had, that's the only reason, nothing more, once he gets back to New York he was going to put her at arm's length, thank God he already decided to get two more assistants and so far they are both doing well, yes they were both lacking and he had to remind them a hell lot of things but still, it gives Katrina her own time since she doesn't have to come in for work all the time, but her
