novelStep On That
| ← Ch.080 | Ch.082 → |
After a long steamy session in the shower, they had both washed up and had got ready for work. Dean had helped April get ready and had even made her breakfast he felt amazing and was full of energy. He had a blinding smile on his face as he cheerfully drove them to work. He glanced over at April every now and then as she pouted in the car, maybe he had overdone it he thought.
April was very happy but she still had some grievances, how can this man take her so shamelessly so many times? April's body felt weak and her legs were still wobbly yet this man had taken her again before work. This man was like a machine once he started he didn't let up or free her from his embrace. She couldn't grumble because she had enjoyed their intimacy just as much as he had but she still couldn't stop pouting in the car.
Dean parked just outside of Walker Interiors front doors and April picked up her bag ready to get out but Dean held her and kissed her fiercely, she lost her breath and her heart sped up. This man really would be the death of her.
Dean let her go and stared into her emerald eyes, "I will be here to pick you up later, don't forget to text me."
April composed herself and grabbed hold of Dean's face kissing him with more passion than she had before. She then abruptly stopped and jumped out of the car, "Have an amazing day." She shouted as she closed the passenger car door and walked towards the revolving front doors.
Dean was taken aback but his smile grew, she was impossible to predict. She was his feisty angel, with that he drove off to work.
April walked inside Walker Interiors and spotted Aarna. Aarna smiled over to her and rushed up to her, "So now I know who your new boyfriend is... You're so lucky he is everyone's dream man."
April panicked she wasn't sure how long they could keep their relationship quiet but she wanted to protect Dean from any media intrusion he may get as much as possible, he was private just like she was. She held Aarna's hand as they walked into the lift alone, "Please don't tell anyone."
Aarna rolled her eyes, "Of course I won't tell anyone we are besties. But I need some advice in exchange." Aarna asked.
"Whatever it is I can only give you my honest opinion if you want it, " April responded, she was glad that Aarna would keep her secret.
"It's about the guy I met, do you remember him. We dated, he was amazing and I want to continue seeing him but he still hasn't written back and I think I did something wrong." Aarna looked away from her friend afraid tears would run down her cheeks if she spoke further.
April sighed, she knew heartbreak and she didn't want her friend to go through it, "If he truly wanted you he wouldn't let others have the chance to get you."
Aarna and April got out of the lift and entered the office together. Aarna still held Aprils arm, she knew her friend was right but she didn't want to give up just yet, "When no one wakes you up in the morning and no one waits for you at night... When you can do whatever you want... What do you call it freedom or loneliness."
April sighed she had passed her hardest moments alone while no one cared and they believed that she was fine so she knew the bitterness of loneliness. She held Aarna's arm and replied, "Forget what he was supposed to be and forget who he pretended to be. What you hoped for didn't happen, he wasn't different and I know that sucks big time. But you will get through this you have me now. Accept that he wasn't your forever. Let today be the last day that you spend wondering why it didn't work. Make today the first day that you believe in yourself and see that something better will come your way."
Aarna looked at her friend and nodded she saw kindness and sadness behind her eyes and recognised that April knew exactly what she was going through." You're so strong how can I be like you?"
April chuckled, "Behind every strong woman is a story that gave them no other choice!"
Aarna agreed with her friend, someone who heals in solitude is a different kind of beast you don't want to mess with, "I'm sorry, I know that I need to move on. But is it okay if I love him for a little while longer?"
April smiled, "Take as long as you need to heal, everyone heals differently and in their own way. I will be there when you need me."
Aarna didn't want to continue to bring down their conversation so she lightly joked, "I am currently turning my heart into a lego piece... Go ahead and step on that!"
April laughed and they both walked to their desks and got set up for the day.
Aarna was happy she had met someone as caring and gentle as April but when she recognised the pain behind her eyes she realised everyone had their own stories and demons they faced. If you have been brutally broken but still have the courage like April to still be gentle with other people, then you are defiantly a badass with a heart of an angel. Aarna decided to take Aprils advice and take it each day at a time.
Sophie was sitting at her desk and had watched the two friend's interaction she scowled as she thought of April with Dean Davis. How could this mediocre woman be suitable for Dean Davis? She stood and smoothed out her dress before smiling as she then stood in front of both Aarna and Aprils desk, "You have an interesting afternoon ahead I hope you are both prepared."
