Love In Between

During the date, their eyes locked happily and said at the same time none audibly about how they feel each of them overwhelmed with emotions they couldn’t speak about, because overtime their love had taught them that some things are better left unsaid.

“How’re you holding up with the baby?” Bruce asked concerned about the welfare of his child. He could only imagine how she’s able to pull off their bills given her not-up-to-par salary.

“We’re holding up just fine, I earn enough to pay her nanny and take care of our basic needs,” she responded curtly, the night was going on well so far and she wasn’t about to ruin it, so she quickly changed the topic.

“Bruce,” she began, sipping from her glass of white wine, Bruce looked at her with rapt attention like he knew what she wanted to talk about,

Ava wanted to ask him the reason behind his initial disappearance, she wanted to know if meeting him in the company was coincidental if he really wanted to come back to him—- but instead she smiled and chucked it up to destiny being in support of their relationship.

“You wanted to say something?” Bruce asked, jolting her back to consciousness.

“Ummm…. I missed you all these while you left I could only think of one thing— and that’s you,” she said instead,

“I longed for you with each passing second and I could only wish fate would be a bit fair to us,” Bruce reached for her hands and squeezed it lovingly,

“Ava, I won’t stop saying I’m sorry I’m really sorry about how I left I would make it up to Ava I promise,” Bruce said, all that is left for him was hope the hope that he’d really make it up to her even though he knew how difficult it’d be to keep to his promise,

He pulled her up and held her in his embrace, she smelled of vanilla and he relished in the scent that came from her, he kissed her on the eyes and felt a pang of desire run through this veins,

Ava stood on her toes, placed her right hand over his neck as she carefully propped his face so their lips would be just a breath away from touching.

She kissed him slowly while gently caressing the back of his neck,

“Ahhh,” Bruce groaned in pleasure, he slipped his hands under her dress and rubbed in between her thighs gently, Ava appeared lost in the bliss of the moment she held on tightly holding him as he led her to the bed—–

The night appeared to be in a haste to break forth into daylight, in dismay Ava crept out of the bed, the pleasure of the night had petered out, she tiptoed to the bathroom and had a quick shower she had to resume work before ten a. m.

Bruce was already sitting up on the bed when she came in, half naked wrapped in a duvet—- a clear indication of how the previous night went, she blushed at the thought she didn’t want it to end, and for she knew how much he wanted her by his side.

“Good morning sunshine,” Bruce said standing up from the bed, Ava blushed at his image when he slipped off the duvet, he kissed her forehead and hugged her she felt him go hard with desire which made her warm between her legs—but they both needed to be somewhere

“I was carried away,” she managed to say

“You mean we were both carried away?” He asked whilst kissing the nape of her neck, she giggled and wriggled out of his hold,

“You know we both need to be at work—- oops I forgot you’re the boss and you can come in at anytime,” she teased, she hurriedly put on her dress and brushed her hair with her hands she knew if she didn’t get home in time to resume for work, she was going to report late.

“I’d drop you off at home so I’d say hi to my child,” Bruce said, Ava took a mental note of how he referred to Chloe and that made her blush, he quickly put on his clothes and drove down to her house.

Ava got down from the car and almost broke into a race to get through the door which made Bruce giggle in admiration as far as he was concerned her job was in CT WINES was certain—- except she’d want to retrieve her company.

When Ava was all dressed she came back and was greeted with Bruce struggling to feed Chloe, even though she’d have loved to capture the moment in camera time wasn’t on her side, instead she kissed Chloe on the forehead and hurriedly left them for the office.

**************************************

Back at the office, Ava spent half of the day reminiscing on the date—- it couldn’t have been any better, numerous times she caught herself giggling and quickly comported herself else her colleagues questioned her sanity.

She felt a glimmer of happiness, none like she ever felt in years, her phone beeped it was Bruce he had invited her to his office for lunch, at first she was hesitant but she thought to herself how nice it’ll be,NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

She sneaked in through the staff only walkway into his private elevator, with trembling hands— she must not be seen by any of the employees in Bruce’s private elevator.

She was relieved when she finally got to his office, lunch was already served and her stomach rumbled when she saw how lavish the table was set.

“Join me,” Bruce said, in his usual feathery voice, all through the lunch Bruce couldn’t take his eyes off Ava, his desire to have her was more than the obstacle that separated them.

“Thank you for the kind gesture,” Ava said, and made to leave the office but was stopped by Bruce, he looked at her with searching eyes—- Ava immediately hated herself for being too weak against this man she loved so much, she couldn’t reject him even if she wanted to.

Their bodies together, breathing heavily as their lips pressed against each other, her lips were warm and soft, parting slightly allowing his tongue to slip inside.

“Tell me I’m not seeing what I clearly just saw,” Nora’s voice sounded from across his office causing them to shudder, Ava was flustered by the sudden appearance of Nora.

“Are you cheating on me with this… With this thing?” Nora’s trembling voice asked, hatred for Ava written all over her face.

“It’s not what you think Nora,” Bruce said in his defense,

“She forced herself on me,”

Ava was taken aback by Bruce’s words, there was no point defending herself, it would only make her look more worthless than Bruce already presented her to be, she looked at Bruce who avoided eye contact with her.

Nora walked up to her and Ava stepped back in fear, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Bruce who was already sitting at his desk— she knew he’d left her one more time to face her troubles like he always did.
