Chapter 5 4

ADAM

Office of Scott 9:45 am

Even though it's against my will to quit this job it is the best thing to do or the right decision that I will be making in my entire life to easily forget her but it's already the faith calling me not too because I saw her.

I knocked three times before entering his office.

"Adam, I found out that Mirana Vaughn Welch did book a flight."

"Do you believe me now?"

" Yes, but why did she even bother to hide for more than two years before he appeared?" he asked while gesturing to me to sit.

"Even though I don't know myself. But no matter what it is, I would be willing to forgive her as long as she only comes back."

"Open arms men!" he laughed loudly that echoed the whole room.

I didn't let him ridicule instead drink the coffee he had prepared.

"You've had a mind to have a little haircut and shave. What did you drink coffee for? Ahhh, it's because of her? tsk, she can do many things on you. "he mocked.

"By the way what's new about Victoria?" I teased him knowing that he has had a secret crush on her since we were high school.

"I don't know, " he sternly said, not bothering to look at me.

"Ohhhh!" I mocked at him.

"In the denial stage. I'll go ahead. I have to go to Caloocan for some things, " I bid my goodbye to him before closing the door.

I was really laughing at his face every time I spoke her name. I was about to enter my car when a sudden thought came into my mind.

"Shoot! I forgot my watch, " I mouthed angrily. I can't go without it and call me overreacting but I feel naked without a watch so I drove back to my penthouse.

As I parked my car, I observed the surroundings before entering. I noticed that the gate I've locked is not anymore. An intruder.

I cursed under my breath when I remembered that I don't have my gun anymore, I was planning to buy it for my protection but this is the wrong timing at all. Thanks to my watch I came back.

"The door isn't locked, " I thought to myself as I grip the doorknob and slam the door as I enter. I went pale when I saw a lady who was standing with her luggage.

"Mirana, " I breathed.

"A-adam, " she replied looking straight into my eyes.

She looks nervous. I know that because of her habit fidgeting her fingers.

Sucking in a breath, I rushed over to her and grasped her shoulder tightly.

"Why are you here?" I asked I don't even know why I'm doing this to her but my mind wants an answer coming from her and why did she hide after all these years?

"A-adam I-I'm hurting, " she pleaded

"Why.are.you.here?" I repeated my question.

"I r-remember this I t-thought n-no one live h-here anymore ."

"Where were you after all these years?" I shouted at her to cause her to flinch.

She didn't reply.

"Leave!" I commanded I couldn't even understand myself on why the hell I am shouting and telling her to leave well, in fact, I want her. All I want to do is to kiss and hug her.

"Adam, don't do this to me. I -I came here because I have no ap-apartment to sleep in. It is too e-expensive, " she said looking down to her luggage.

She's still beautiful. I am still mesmerized by her beauty. Her skin that is too smooth when I touch her, her hair that brushed my hands, her innocent eyes that look unto my soul.

"It's already 7 so I cannot go to the place where I should go. You'll only stay here for this night and tomorrow before I wake up I want you to be gone, " I stated before going into my room and slammed it close.

I ran my hands to my hair and headed to the shower room. I want to freshen up my mind.

As the water poured unto my body I remembered Mirana.

"She's here. Is it this I want right?" I thought to myself.

She's here Adam, you love her. What do you want to do with her? I miss her.

"I want to make love to her, " I absentmindedly said.

I get my towel and rush to my closet and get a shirt and boxer.
