Chapter 39
Erica
I woke up the next morning with a terrible headache, my throat was hurting like hell.
I struggled to get out of the bed, as everything appear to be blurry as I walked out of my room. I managed to get to my kitchen, after which I opened the fridge to get a chilled bottle water to drink.
Hopefully it cures me of my hangover.
Its Sunday morning and I have nothing planned, I sat down on one of the chairs in the kitchen as my mind drifted to the events of the early hours. It felt good to be able to pour out my heart to him, and the alcohol was very instrumental to achieving that.
My stomach started rumbling for food as I stood up and walked towards the fridge and opened it to see that there was little or no food inside, That could quench my hunger.
With Alex and his nanny gone for the weekend, there was no foodstuff at home. I planned on going grocery shopping in the evening.
I was still contemplating on what next to do when my door bell rang, I quickly threw on my house coat as I walked over to the door to see who it was. I peeped through my door hole to see a pizza boy waiting by the door.
"Yes, how can I help you?" I asked as soon as I opened the door.
"Are you Miss Williams?" the young lad asked.
"Yes?" I answered thinking probably the young man may have lost the address he was suppose to reliever his pizza to because I was so sure I had not ordered for pizza.
"This order was made by one Mr frank and he requested that it should be delivered to you" he said handling me the box of pizza.
"Awwn, that's so sweet of him" I said as I collected the box. After which I bid the pizza boy goodbyes.
I could have angrily rejected the pizza and ask that he returned it, but this hangover hunger won't let me shine.
Eat now, deal with the dude later.
I sat down in the sitting room munching on the delicious pizza accompanied with a milkshake I found inside the fridge.
Life is so damned good
My cellphone started ringing as I picked to see who it was, its my mum.
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I love and adore my parents more than anything in the world, only that they have been stressing me a lot about getting married of lately.
Like seriously? Marriage is the least thing on my mind at the moment, look at all the things I have achieved, despite been a single mother, and who says one needs to get married in other to be happy?
"Hello mum" I said, with a mouthful of pizza.
"Hey pumpkin are you coming over today?" She asked.
I would really have loved to go visit them but I am going to have to pass. They keep bringing up the same topic over and over again, like marriage is instrumental in other to succeed the next face of my life
Like seriously people I am only twenty six and definitely not dying anytime soon, maybe I might get fired from my job after last night but definitely not dying.
"No mum, I am kinda busy" I said into the phone.
"Oh dear, its a pity then, I wanted you to meet Reese, our pastor's son, He is a medical doctor, he came home for the weekend and asked after you" she said a bit of disappointment evident in her voice.
"Tell him to go fuck him himself" I mumbled under my breath, but my mum with the super magnetic ear must have caught it.
"What did you say pumpkin" she questioned with a bit of surprise,
"I mean, its a shame mum, would have really love to meet him" I said still munching on my pizza.
"I know, you two would be perfect for each other, do you know he plans on going into the ministry and becoming a full time minister?" Mum asked and paused, I think she was waiting for me to say something, but when I didn't, she continued
"He also have a beautiful daughter from his previous marriage, so..." Mum kept blabbing which was getting on my nerves, but been that its my mum we are talking about, I really need to rescue myself fast from this torture.
I quickly grabbed a paper close by and used it to make sound into the phone so it looks like network problem.
"*clears throat* he..llo, I can't h.ear you" I said, breaking the words.
"stop doing that" mum said with a bit of anger in her voice, its an old trick I use on her, so she knows I was faking it.
"Okay, I love you too, mum" I said as I quickly switch off the call.
My mum can drive me nuts, like seriously I really need a break from all these pressure of getting married, like its the next best thing to sex.
Talking about sex I am so freaking horny, really wish there was someone to cuddle with or something .
My mind drifted back to how hot my little time with Damian was last night, my pussy twitched at the thought of having his fingers buried down within my folds.
I can't believe that after going celibate for eight good years, I allowed him into my pants so easily. Hate to admit it, but mehn, it was freaky perfect.
I dragged my horny ass back to my bedroom and my eyes fell instantly on my pillows which is looking out of shape. Its about time I change them, they really do look kinda wrinkled.

Erica's POV
I stood opposite my mirror to contemplate on what to wear to the office been that, it's Monday morning and all.
Gosh I really wish I had prevented that little intimacy I had with Damian the other night, It has made this whole working together thing more awkward.
What was I thinking, anyway I will have to blame it on the alcohol even if it felt great, I felt heat rush to my cheeks at the mere thought of it.
I can't believe how much I still love and cared for him, after all he has put me through. I will just have a normal adult to adult talk and let him know that he has a son.
Alex deserves to know who his father is, so they can bond together. We can both co parents and not share any form of intimacy.
That can't be too hard.
But wait, what if I tell him about Alex and he decides to end his engagement with that Cassandra girl, everyone would blame me.
I am so confuse, what do I do?
*****
I got to office early and was met with a regular busy focused and energetic looking co staffs which of course is a good thing. I went to my office wondering if Damian was inside his office or not.
Just then I saw Damian walked in and went straight to his office while talking to someone on phone.
A few minutes later, Cassandra walked in smiling, Damian came out of his office to go welcome her at the reception and they both really look happy. He took her into his office and they closed the door.
The thoughts of what might be going on in there kept me distracted from what I was doing. The Damian I knew can be very naughty, but that is not my business I suppose.
Then why am I feeling hurt?
One thing is certain though, the fact that Damian did not even spare me a glance or check up on me after what we shared made my heart ache in pain.
He is an asshole.
After some time, Cassandra walked out in all smiles. Who wouldn't be, i bet she just had the best quickie anyone can only but only imagine.
Why is he even here? Shouldn't he be at his head office?
Just then, frank walked causally into my office looking all smart, clean and wearing a nice cologne. Okay now, maybe its just me trying to see if I could use him to mend my broken heart.
"So sorry about the other night" he said, with his both hands in his pocket, and wearing a not really sorry face.
"Its okay, thanks for the pizza, it came right in time, I was starving, when I woke up" I said smiling.
I'm glad I could make it a bit up to you" he said with a bit of chuckle. He lingers on for a while and his expression shows someone That is contemplating whether or not to say something.
"What's up with you and the new CEO though?" he asked, as I gave him the what do you mean look.
"You guys look like you share some sort of history together" he added, which made me smile a bit, as my eyes unintentionally finds its way back to Damian office.
"Oh that reminds me,What was the emergency that you went for the other at the party?" I asked stylishly dodging his question.
"A couple of my guys asked that we hang out together" he said, clearing his throat.
This guy is a pathological liar, I can't believe he just lied without blinking. I just smiled at him and acted as if I believed his lies, its no point pushing the issue in the first place.
Just then, the secretary walks in into my office.
"Mr Anderson will like to see you right away Miss williams" she said and gave a knowing smile to Frank as she cat walked out of the office. My eyes turns to frank as I looked at him thrown off guard a bit.
"What was that about?" I asked smiling.
"Don't even try to turn the table around" he said, as he walks out.
How on earth will I be to face him, I wonder what he wants to talk about. I could just seat here and not go to his office, but he is the boss.
I reluctantly stood up and adjust my clothes before heading for Damian's office.
