RACHEL’S POV
She bit her lips in disappointment as she watched Shawn storm out of her room. She did not feel an iota of remorse for her actions, but she was disappointed that things didn’t go according to her intentions.
Walking towards the closet, she let out a deep sigh. She needed to forget about what happened and focus on the next steps. She slipped on her nightwear and crawled into bed.
The next morning, she woke up and prepared herself for work. She took extra care in her appearance, wanting to present herself sincerely and apologetically to him. As she left her house and made her way to the office, she kept rehearsing what she would say to him to make him forgive her.
Once she arrived at the office, she settled into her usual routine and called her secretary on the intercom. She instructed her on the tasks for the day. After finishing the call, she gathered her courage and headed towards Shawn’s office.
As usual, without knocking, she walked straight into his office, only to be met with a burning anger in his eyes. She had never seen him that angry, not even last night.
“What are you doing here?” He asked, his voice menacing.
“I’m here to apologize for what happened last night,” she said softly. She hoped that he would buy her fake apology and forgive her.
He scoffed, his anger evident. “Apologize? Do you even know the gravity of what you did?” he snapped, his tone biting with disappointment. “What if I had overdosed on the wine? Do you know the health implications of that?
“Shawn, please, just hear me out,” she pleaded, taking a step closer to him. “I never wanted things to turn out that way. The sickness just made me horny…I, you know, have not been with a man for a very long time…”
Her words seemed to only fuel his anger further. He stood up abruptly, his face flushed with rage. “You thought you could use me then? What happened to getting a man to scratch your itchy spot? And hell, you know I’m married.”
“I’m sorry. I realize the gravity of what I did, and that’s why I’m here, begging for your forgiveness.”
His eyes hardened, his voice filled with finality. “Our friendship is over, Rachel. I can’t trust you anymore. Kindly leave my office this minute.”
Her heart shattered at his words. Panic immediately gripped her as she realized the severity of the situation. She had not expected things to escalate to that extent. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing his friendship. Never!
“Are you serious?” she asked in disbelief. “You’re not going to end our friendship because of one silly mistake, are you?”
He took a step towards the intercom. “If you don’t leave right now, Rachel, I will call security. Our friendship is over.”
She looked at him in disbelief as she saw the dead panned look on his face. When she saw him punching the keypads on the intercom, she immediately let herself out of the office.
SHAWN’S POV
After the love making with Tiffany, he watched her fall asleep on his chest. Just the sight of her lying peacefully on his chest made him sigh in contentment.
He stared down at the duvet he used to cover their bodies and smiled at the red patch of blood. He had deflowered her and had Introduced her into womanhood. The mere thought that she had not been with any other man but him, brought a warm feeling of pride to his heart.
He felt a pang of guilt hit him as he remembered all the times he had accused her of sleeping around with men. He felt bad he never trusted her and treated her badly. But he was glad things were better between them, and henceforth, he would use everyday to treat her right.
With those thoughts in mind, he fell asleep. He woke up the next morning to find her still asleep on his body. He smiled and kissed her forehead before gently pulling her away from his body so he could prepare for work.
He walked into the bathroom to freshen up, and by the time he was done, he met her sitting up on the bed, awake.
“Hey,” he called as he walked into the room.
Her face flushed in a smile as she looked down at her hands. He could have thought that Tiffany Dion could be that shy.
“Good morning,” she said, averting his gaze.
“Good morning, sunshine. How was your sleep?” He asked and let the towel around his waist fall to the fall as he attempted to apply lotion on himself.
“Arrrgh!” She shrieked and closed her eyes with her palms.
He chuckled and walked towards her. He got in the bed and gently took her hands off her eyes.
“Why are you covering your eyes?”
“You are naked,” she replied, blushing.
“Really?” He asked in amusement.
She nodded, still not looking at him.
“You shouldn’t be? Just yesterday night, my entire length was buried inside of you, my darling.”
“Arghhh!” She shrieked again.
He pecked her cheeks, laughing out loud as he returned to getting ready for work. A few minutes later, she stood up with the duvet wrapped around her body as she made it to the bathroom, limping. His heart melted at the sight. She was sore from last night, and he was beginning to beat himself up for not being a bit gentler.
“Are you feeling sore?” He asked, when she returned to the room.
She nodded shyly as she got back on the bed.
“I’m sorry. I should have been more careful. I promise to be gentler next time.”
“And who said there is going to be a next time?”
“Of course there will be. Yesterday was just the beginning of many more copulation experiences to come.”
She blushed and looked away.
He walked towards her on the bed after he was done and ready to leave. “I will get you something really nice on my way back from work. Be good, okay? Call me if you need anything. And if you must go out, call Lucas to drive you.” He pecked her lips affectionately. “I will be leaving for work now. Bye”
“Bye. Have a nice day at work.” She replied.
He nodded, before walking out.
He got to the office and was going through some paperwork when Rachel walked in. His face immediately contorted in anger as a result of her presence.
“What are you doing here?” He asked, his voice menacing.
“I’m here to apologize for what happened last night.” She said,
He rejected all her excuses and pleas. He was beginning to doubt her intentions as his friend and didn’t want anything to do with her again. He told her their friendship was over and when she tried to plead, he threatened to call the security on her. Seeing how serious he looked, she walked out of his office.
He sighed in relief and shuddered as he remembered what happened at her place. There was no way he was letting her anywhere close to him. And with that, he returned to work.
