KRISTEN ZOEY
One week passed but I had heard nothing from Reece or even gotten the chance to talk to him about what had happened, I wanted to talk about it but just like James had earlier mentioned, I stood no chance, I was just the other girls he had previously slept with, I stood no chance of being with him or even spending time with him.
For starters I was a virgin when I met him, some part of me regretted it because I wanted my first time to be different but some part of me was glad that it was him, Reece was handsome and just saying handsome was an understatement, because he was extremely cute, you wonder why girls swam all over him for nothing? Then you got my response, he had it all and maybe that was the reason I fall hard and stupidly gave up myself for him, there was no way he was going to call me or something and it is not like I was expecting him to call me but I hoped h even remembered my name.
“Kristen you have been silent and staring at your computer for a long time now, is everything okay?” Katie asked waking me up from my trance, I had completely zoned out
“Oh yeah I am good, I was just thinking and maybe I zoned out a little bit, what were you saying?”
“It is lunchtime, are we still going to our favourite joint restaurant or have you changed your mind?”
“Oh yeah, definitely why should I change my mind, I am famished and super hungry I think I could use some food right now,” I said as I logged off my computer and took my handbag from the stand.
“Then what are we waiting for? We should get going then, I just spoke to Keasha and she said she said she is waiting for us.”
“We will be there before she even knows it, it is just one, what is she even doing there so early?”
“You know typical Keasha when she has something she wants to talk to us about and this time round it seemed serious; she said she has something important to talk to us about.”
“Oh yeah? She always has something important every time we meet, let us go and see what she has to say.” I said as we headed to the elevators.
I know you are probably wondering why and how I do this but Katie and Keasha have been my friends with Keasha being my best friend and a long-time childhood friend, my circle was full, Keasha was working at Liam’s family company and that is how she got to know all the movements and got invited to most parties which she would later invite us, Katie and I.
“And here I thought you guys had changed your mind about coming, what took you so long?” Keasha asked as we walked to the restaurant at our usual spot.
“Why wouldn’t we want to come, it is lunch and you know we don’t get lunch in our offices, I heard you have some news you want to talk about huh?”
“Yeah, this news is actually for you.”
“For me? What do you mean by for me?”
“You will know that as soon as soon as you order your food.”
“I am taking my usual, just a burger will be good, and now what is it that you wanted to talk to me or rather to us about?” I asked anxiously hoping it had something to do with Reece because I had started developing weird but good feelings for him that I thought we needed to address in person.
“Well, I talked to Crystal today.”
“Crystal as in?” I asked trying to remember if I had heard about such a name somewhere.
“She is talking about Crystal as in Liam’s girlfriend.” Katie chirped in and I nodded in agreement waiting for Keasha to go on.
“So as I was saying, I spoke to Crystal today at work, you do know she worked for her boyfriend’s company right? The same place I work.”
“Yeah, we know all that now tell us what is going on and what did you two talk about?”
“Well, we talked about you.”
“What about me?”
“Well, she overheard Liam and Reece discussing you.” She said and at the mention of Reece’s name blood rushed through my veins, I hadn’t heard from him for long.
“And what about them, what were they talking about?”
“Well this is the interesting part because, Liam asked her to talk to me about you, Reece wants to meet you in person so I gave her your number, I hope you are not mad at me are you?”
“Oh no, I am not mad, why would I be mad?” I asked obliviously but I felt happy, I was glad that he was thinking about me.
“Oh you look happy, you like him?” Katie asked and I blushed.
“Oh no, you know he is cute and likeable, I am sure you like him too.”
“No, you smiled when I said that, I know you like him too but maybe I like him more, thank you,” I said to Keasha and she smiled reassuringly.
“Okay I get it, he will call you, and I am sure about that.” She said and I smiled, I just couldn’t wait for him to call me, I wanted to see him again.
The whole afternoon I couldn’t concentrate on work, I was anxiously waiting for his call, it was on Friday and I knew I had plenty of time on my plate.
As I was making dinner later that day, I heard the doorbell ring; I wasn’t expecting anyone so I walked to the door and peeped through the keyhole, speaking of the devils, I anxiously wiped my hands on my kitchen wrap and sighed deeply before I opened the door.
“Hey, can I help you?” I asked while trying to maintain my composure but I was sweating.
“Kristen Zoey, I know you weren’t expecting to see me today but I wanted to see you in person, I hope I am not interrupting anything?”
“Oh no come on in, how did you even know where I stay?”
“That shouldn’t worry you because I know my way out and given my position, you know that is not hard to find.” He said and I chuckled as I ushered him in.
“Yeah I understand, welcome and feel at home; I was just preparing dinner before you came in, let me make sure everything is okay before I join you,” I said and he nodded in agreement, I wanted some time alone, I wanted to figure things out and compose myself before I faced him because blood was rushing through my veins, I rushed to the kitchen and called Keasha.
“He is here,” I whispered on my end.
“Who is where and why are you even whispering?”
“Reece, he is here, you didn’t tell me he will be coming.”
“I didn’t know he was coming either but you got to deal with it, you should be happy and not complaining, call me with details.” She said and hung up, I took a deep breath before I walked back into the living room, he was moving around admiring the photos on the wall unit.
“That is my mother and me; we had gone for Christmas at my grandpa’s beach house,” I said as I joined him and stood beside him.
“You looked beautiful, you still are beautiful.” He said and I smiled.
“Thank you, you didn’t answer my question though, how did you find out where I live?”
“Oh yeah, I called a few people and I got your address, sorry if I am prying but I wanted to talk to you, you know it is not cool how we left things off, I woke up and you were gone, just like that?”
“I am sorry about that but I was just like any other girls you have spent with, I didn’t want you to wake up with me still in your bed so I had to leave.”
“No it is okay I understand that is not something you are used to but you got something wrong though, you are not one of those girls, you are different.” He said and looked straight into my eyes and I shyly looked away.
“Oh yeah? And how different I’m I?”
“I don’t know but I don’t usually do this, I don’t go looking for the women I have slept with, but I know you and I felt something between us, I know you felt something, tell me I am wrong about that.”
“I don’t know why you are here though”
“I just wanted to see you, talk to you and maybe get to know each other; I know how you have been always looking at me since senior year.”
“Oh proud much, you still are the same, nothing has changed about you.”
“No I don’t know what to say but I think you are right, maybe yes and maybe not, but something I know is that I wanted to be here and maybe finish what we started, I missed you.” He said ad moved close to me, touched my lower lip with his thumb and I closed my eyes, “or what do you say?” He asked and I opened my eyes quite embarrassed.
“There is nothing to be shy about though, I want you, I know it sounds odd and all that but I mean, I just can’t stay away from you, I wanted to see you and spent some time with you.” He added and moved closer, such that there was no distance between us, the proximity was making me wet already and I just wanted him to kiss me already, I stared at his pink lower lip and the urge to kiss surged through me.
“f**k this.” He said and roughly pulled me closer, he licked his lips and then held my face in his hands, he stared at me for a few seconds and then pulled me in for a kiss, the kiss was rough yet passionate with a tingling sensation, I closed my eyes as I kissed him back with all I had, exactly what I wanted
