I was shocked and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Oh um Kevin...why are you still up?

"You didn't come home, I almost called the police." He said walking towards me. "Who was in the car?"

I looked at the door and then back at him. "Just a friend from work." I walked past him, nervous that he seen more then the car.

"Stacey?" He asked.

I yawned and inched towards the staircase. "What's with the questioning Kevin I'm fine okay." I said trying to sound frustrated. "Look I'm tired, I'm just going to go to bed okay." I said ruffling my hair. I walked upstairs trying my best not to run.

I went to the room and undid my jacket. I took off the dress and tossed it in the closet. I heard Kevin walking up the steps and quickly took off my heels and pushed them under the bed right before he walked inside.

He didn't say anything, he just walked to his side of the bed, laid down and turned off his lamp. I sat at the end of the bed and looked down, feeling guilty but also realizing a truth. I didn't love Kevin...not like he loved me.

I slipped on my pajama pants and laid down turning off my lamp. Me and him were drifting apart, I just refused to see it.

I took off the ring and placed it on the dresser before going to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, the smell of bacon engulfed the room. I went to the bathroom to wash my face before going downstairs.

Kevin was in the kitchen, placing a couple pancakes on a plate. He turned around, "Oh hey honey, good morning."

"What's all this?" I asked walking towards him.

"Well it was supposed to be a surprise but I keep forgetting your a morning person." He flipped over the pancake in the pan. I wrapped my arms around his waist and put my chin on his shoulder. "It's a late birthday breakfast, I got a whole day planned out for us and I called you out of work."

"Called me out?" I took a step back. "Kevin you know how much I love work!" I exclaimed.

"Hey I did this for you." He said turning to me. "I'm trying to make up."

"Well it's a little too late for that Kevin!" I didn't know why I just exploded, I just did. Missing one day of work wasn't a big deal but I knew there was another reason I wanted to go.

"You know what!" He turned around and turned off the fire. Kevin was leaning on the counter before throwing the plate of pancakes and bacon to the floor and slamming the wall with his hand in anger. "Fuck it, just forget it. All of it!" He took off his ring and threw it to the ground. "Just forget I even bothered."

I felt a mixture of guilt and relief. I noticed his effort to make up forgetting my birthday but my mind wasn't in it, I just wanted to clear my head.

I walked upstairs to get dressed for work.

When I got out the elevator, Stacey immediately spotted me and rushed towards me. "What are you doing here? Kevin said you was calling out."

"Since when do I miss work?" I asked looking at her. "I need this promotion."

"Yeah I know but Kevin said...." She stopped herself, seeing my glance of realization.

"He asked you didn't he?" I asked.

"Asked what?"

"Don't play dumb with me Stacey. He asked you for advice didn't he?" I asked.

She sighed, "I just gave him a few pointers."

"About the breakfast and day plans?"

She nodded, "Yes."

I walked faster ahead, "Typical. He couldn't just do it himself, atleast it would of been genuine."

"Olivia wait!" Stacey followed after me. "I'm sorry but he's a good guy that's why I helped him, and he loves you."

I stomped towards my office. "I don't-" I bumped into someone and looked up to see Charles.

"Well hey you." He smiled.

I hugged him tightly, "Hi!"

He spun me around, "Someone's happy to see me."

I giggled. Stacey walked over, ruining the moment with the suspicious look she shot me. "Atleast she happy to see someone."

"Why? What's going on?" Charles asked looking at me.

I sighed. Stacey as quick to explain, "Her future husband tried to smooth things over with breakfast and a fun day and she turned him down."

"Why?" Charles asked. As if he didn't already know the answer to that question.

"Its complicated." I replied. Stacey laughed and I hit her. "Charles come with me I need to tell you something." I grabbed Charles arm and walked towards my office.

"Hey if it has anything to do with why you rejected the best day of your life please do tell me later." Stacey called out.

"Whatever you say Stacey." I called back.

I pushed Charles into the office and closed and locked the door behind me. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked.

"Us." I grabbed the sides of his black jacket and pulled him closer. I placed my lips on his and grinned.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and began to kiss me intensely. I felt his soft yet deep fingers pressing against me. He could become a masseuse because I was in heaven.

He pushed me towards the wall and entwined his hands into mine. I wrapped my leg around his waist, it's as his lips was laced with a drug and I was addicted. I never felt this way, not even the first time. The rush, the sensation, every move he made I could feel it and more and more I fell in love for him.

"I love you." The words just slipped out as he moved to kiss my neck.

He turned up and looked at me. "What?"

I grinned. "You heard me." I pulled him closer and kissed him again. The words just felt right and it wasn't just the moment, the way he made me feel it was him. "I love you." I said again slowly.

He picked me up and tossed the stuff on my desk to the floor before placing me on it and kissing me lower. He ripped off my shirt and I ripped off his. The moment was too intense to take things slow. "How far?" He asked.

I realized I had been holding my breath and let out a loud moan. "What?"

"We're in public so I'm asking, how far do you want to go?" He asked.

I lifted his head so he would look at me and looked at him. "What do you think?" He laughed and started un buttoning my pants. I dug my nails into his back, I wanted him badly.

He pulled me up on the desk more and lifted up my legs before entering me. As soon as he began to thrust I gave up trying to be quiet, he took all the self control I had left and threw them to the ground like the rest of my stuff. "Faster." I whispered.

He started going faster and faster. The more he did the louder I felt like I was being but I couldn't help it. After awhile of the most amazing feeling ever he climaxed inside of me but I didn't let go of his body. He just laid his head on my chest and embraced me. We were both laughing, we both were in love.

I looked up and seen Stacey at the doorway and jumped up. "Stacey!"

She stood there in shock. "You...had a call from Kevin...he said he was sorry." Charles turned and looked at her breathing heavily. "You should get cleaned up..." She opened the door and left.

I've known Stacey a long time and that's the first time I've seen her speechless. "Well this is going to be hell to explain." Charles said.

I thought at this moment things were gonna go downhill, truth is it was already hell the day I met him.
