Raina Williams?
"Am I disturbing something ?" Angelo said clenching his jaw. I stepped back from Grayson. "No, actually I was just leaving but what do you want anyways?" Grayson said in a nonchalant tone making me sigh.
"It's none of your God damn business just get out!" Angelo seemed pissed.
"It is my business because I can see right through you..." Gray deadpanned, i wanted to laugh but this was serious and Gray was getting the wrong idea.
"Uhm Gray, i will call you." I led him out.
"See right through me? Yeah right." Angelo replied.
"I'm watching you and don't think you will fuck my girlfriend anytime you feel like your fianc??e isn't good enough." Gray was dead serious and I felt awkward.
"Gray that's enough, you should go." He pulled me into a hug and laid a gentle kiss on my cheek before heading out of my office leaving me and Angelo alone with the tension.
"Sorry about that, Gray is just a little overprotective." I muttered going towards the couch on other side of my huge office.
"It's okay." He muttered sitting next to me, a little too close for my own liking. My pencil skirt hiked up as soon as i sat down displaying my thighs which I was trying to cover up.
"So.." I didn't know what to say honestly.
"I came to discuss uhm -" He's hand racked through his jet black hair. "Custody of the twins."
"I thought we had already sorted that out." I looked confused. He looked at my legs then gulped before looking at the walls.
"Yeah I just thought-"
"You and Yasmine will probably have kids after getting married and I don't think it will be a good idea for you to have custody of the twins." I stated as a matter of fact, Yaya didn't like my kids that I knew for a fact.
"You make it sound as if I will forget them as soon as that happens, they are still my kids too." He added, he looked handsome as always, his green eyes tried making eye contact with mine but I instantly hesitated and looked else where.
"I don't want to argue with you then so I will just keep quiet." I said straightening my skirt as it kept going down.
"I didn't come here to argue with you..." He gave a lopsided smile. "Raina."
"Fine. Are we done?" I asked in a serious tone.
"Why, eager to chase me out?" He smirked.
"I need to get back to work Angelo." I shrugged.
"Uhm yeah." He scratched his head in an instant his eyes landed on the bracelet I was wearing. "You still have it ?" He took my hand in his making me feel even more uncomfortable. His hands on my skin felt tingly.
"No this is a different one." I mumbled and disappointment flooded his facial features.
*Flashback*
Panting for our breath, he collapsed beside me. I felt tired and sore but it was amazing, anything I did with Angelo was amazing. "I never seem to get enough of you.." He muttered pulling me close enough so I laid on his bare chest.
"Angelo ?" I whispered.
"Lola..."
"I like you alot." I blurted out.
"I know you do." He replied with no surprise.
"Maybe-" i was cut off.
"Not happening baby doll, i like what we have don't you?" He said in a dismissive tone.
"I do but-"
"But nothing." He quickly added.
"I bought you something for your birthday.." He reached the bedside draw and pulled out a box, my heart skipped a beat. I knew a part of him cared even though he acted like he didn't.
"Open it." He smirked. I sat up straighten closing my upper body with the white linen sheets. I eagerly opened the small box inside there was a diamond necklace and a bracelet that sparkled so bright and it looked simple yet expensive.
"You shouldn't have, this looks expensive." I said my fingers roaming around the gift and it's expensive diamond rocks. It had my name on it as well as his in silver carving.. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"You are worth it, worth every diamond." He gently caressed my neck. "I want you to have it, don't worry about the cost Lola."
"Thank you Angelo, i love it." He helped me put it on and honestly that was the greatest gift anyone had ever given me not because it must have cost a fortune but because it came from someone I was inlove with.
"And I love it on you." He kissed my cheek. I almost thought he would confess his love for me but boy was I wrong that would never happen.
*End of Flashback*
"Yasmine asked me to be her bridesmaid, i hope you don't mind ?" I fumbled with the edges my bracelet, it was the same bracelet he gave me that night but I wasn't going to let him know that.
"I don't." He cleared his throat.
"Congrats again now Uhh, i really need to go back to work." I smiled at him and his green eyes flickered towards mine.
"Thanks, i will leave you to it." He frowned.
"Angelo.." I called when he was about to reach the door.
"I'm really happy for you and I'm glad this friendship is working between us for the twins sake."
He faked a smile and turned to close the door. Why was he being so cold suddenly towards me? I was used to it but the only difference now is I was off his back. Isn't that a good thing... me getting over
him?
