LOVE AGAIN

“Girl you are crazy, I have my man “, Esther defended herself.

Both of them laughed, I laughed awkwardly with them, not sure if they are joking or seriously shading Kamsy.

Never thought one day someone will blast Kamsy for that.

“Esther or whatever your name, it’s not anyone’s fault your eight years relationship hasn’t even led to a marriage not to talk of pregnancy”.

Kamsy snapped from her office, the male colleagues murmured tired of our drama.

“Oh I am okay at least I don’t steal my best friend’s fiance, I mean who can be that evil to do that? So insecure right Val?”Esther stated.

I looked up and found them looking at me in expectation. As an introvert, I don’t know what to do, since I am not used to having friends and knowing the bitch way of doing stuff like this.

“Babes, can we just let the backstabber be, only losers can be stolen, I am so over it”.

Wow I said that

They burst out laughing, proud of me I think.

“Sure”Esther replied.

“If you have other hairs to give out please let me know”Felicia added with a wink.

I simply smiled and nodded then after they went back to their offices , I bowed my head on my desk and sighed.

I have a lot on my head. What am I supposed to do with Daniel and Mr Prince?’

******PRINCE’S POV*****

I was going through my email when Zoey ran to me.

“Frog Prince, I am sick, don’t screw this up”.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She pulled my hand and rested her head on my thighs, I have had enough of this rat. Please someone should buy her for $10.

What the hell is she doing this time.

Just then a visitor walked into the house, I could recognize the hair and jewels on the ears and neck.

“How is she?”

I said nothing and kept myself busy with my phone.

I thought I would have it easy on ignoring her but my heart won’t stop pounding hard against my chest.

“Sweet Valerie, you are here, I am so sick I thought you would never come!”

Zoey said and ran to hug her.

She carried Zoey and sat on the opposite chair.

“How are you doing honey?”

I stole a glance at them, she doesn’t usually wear makeup, why is she wearing one today and the hair and jewels. I shouldn’t fall for that trick just yet.

“Your body temperature is pretty normal to me”.

I heard her say.

Zoey coughed.

“Cold on the inside, fever on the inside…(coughs) hotness on the inside, I may look fine but inside I am not”.

I tried not to laugh.

Valerie looked very serious attending to her, I wasn’t comfortable with her or else I did get caught staring, my phone notification popped up for my gym schedule. I got up and left the living room.

.****VAL’S POV***

As soon as he stood up, I glanced at him for the first time after entering the house. How dare he treat me as though I was invisible?

I tried not to pout or frown.

“Do you want to talk to him?”

Zoey drew my attention.

“What…who?”

“My brother, you were pouting because he ignored you”she laughed.

“No…I…am not”I stuttered cursing inside as heat traveled up to my cheeks.

“You are blushing”.

“Zoey, are you really sick or not!”I shouted angrily.

She made a sad face just then Mr Prince came back into the living room, wearing his gym outfit, he looked so different in sweatpants and a black sleeveless vet , I looked at him searchingly for several seconds, noting the clenched fists by his side, the determined set of his jaw, the piercing blue of his narrowed eyes.

The black sleeveless vest was clung to the perfectly muscled contours of his chest. Revealing equally muscular and smoothly bronzed arms, the wet silky hair styled in a goofy way, making him younger and no less sexier than in suit, my eyes went lower to his groin, suddenly I felt my throat stuffed.

I coughed immediately and went to grab a glass of water from a nearby dispenser.

“Are you coming, Zoey?”

“She is sick”I replied, actually I wanted an opportunity for him to talk to me. He didn’t even make a sign that I said a word.

“I guess it’s not Zoey, the maids will take care of you and don’t invite strangers without my permission next time”.

He said coldly and left.

Really? Is he trying to make me feel bad?

“I will have to do some exercise to help the cold on the inside of Val, get ready, let’s go to the gym together with Prince ”Zoey pleaded.

“Sorry Zoey but I am not into gyming”.

“Mr frog, wait for us”.

She surprised me and pulled me with her. We got into the car and then insisted on staying in the back while I stay with her brothers in the back seat.

After serials of heated arguments with her failed, I went into the car in annoyance.

He said nothing and engaged the engine, he reversed and drove out of the house.

I so much wanted to ask why he didn’t come to work but since he ignored me maybe I should do the same, always feeling like some god.

I pouted and looked away at the window without turning to any other side, my hand supporting my jaw.

“Why is no one talking, this is so boring, you two act like you had a breakup , and you were never even in a relationship”.

“You can’t talk about it, Zoey! That’s your one job”

Her brother slammed her

“Don’t shade me frog Prince! Alexa, play sad break up music..”.

“Playing, let me down slowly by Alec Benjamin”Alexa replied.

??Don’t cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste

I once was a man with dignity and grace

Now I’m slippin’ through the cracks of your cold embrace

So please, please??

?Could you find a way to let me down slowly?

A little sympathy, I hope you can show me

If you wanna go then I’ll be so lonely

If you’re leavin’, baby, let me down slowly

Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down

Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down

If you wanna go then I’ll be so lonely

If you’re leavin’, baby, let me down slo??

That Zoey of a girl! Why did I even come in the first place , I am so angry now I don’t even know why.

The lyrics of that song were ringing in my head.

I was still looking towards the window then my phone rang, blindly without looking in the opposite direction, I ran my fingers to the other side but found nothing. I kept going till my hand touched his, I panicked like I just touched a reptile and withdrew my hand.

My cheeks stained pink, I closed my eyes and cursed.
