The rain came out of nowhere and the sky immediately became dark. Joanna felt like fainting at this point. She could not afford to mess things up with these clients. They were very important to her father. Damien turned around and gestured for her to go in.However, while she was still watching he ran into the rain and hurriedly jumped into the car. He was not planning on letting anything stop him. He will get home and must get back on time, he told himself. He pressed the accelerator paddle with his foot making the car speed up out of the premises.Joanna stepped back in and decided to improvise. She told them that at the moment she couldn't display the presentation through the projector but she would draw them on a piece of paper as quickly as possible to give them at least a preview of what they were going into till the flash was in her hands.The clients were not so happy with this and Joanna was scared to her wits that she might mess things up further but she had to keep a bold f

The morning sun came through the windows and the curtains, shining on those who lay on the bed. Joanna had her head on his chest with her hand beside her head. She fluttered her eyes open with a smile on her face as she looked up. Damien’s sleeping face came into view and she could not help but widen her smile.She could remember what happened the previous day like it happened a minute ago. She bit her lips in shyness remembering how good Damien had felt inside of her. For so long she had wanted this and now it was finally here. She refused to go off of him.His heartbeat felt like music to her ears and she wanted to keep hearing it. Damien had his hand around her too which made it the perfect position. She could not wait for him to ask her out officially. The thought alone made her more excited than she already was and she moved a bit which alerted Damien.He moved and then fluttered his eyes open staring at the window for a few seconds before realizing someone was on him. It was the

Joanna lay on her bed, face on her pillow, tears rolling down her eyes. She has sent numerous text messages but Damien has not replied to any. It was night time now and he was not back yet. She even tried to track his location but his phone was switched off.The last place she saw was him being a restaurant but after that, there was nothing on him. She was losing it with each passing second. Eventually, she turned around, staring at the ceiling while lying on her back. She tried to see the good in this, but it was hard.She loved Damien. She always had and even though she gave up when he got married, she still loved him. The moment she knew he was divorced, she believed they had a chance again to make things right. She believed they could be together.She remained in that position for a long time before she heard the front door open. Her eyes opened, and she rushed out of bed. “Damien” she called as she approached the stairsThe moment she got to the stairs, she sighted him at the doo

Sarah was already within the house as she called out to Joanna. Damien shut his eyes, briefly sighing on hearing Sarah's voice. Joanna smiled, seeing his reaction then placed a kiss on his lips. She planned to make it a brief kiss but when she wanted to jump down from the table and leave, Damien held her waist tight, preventing her from leaving.They deep kissed for a couple of minutes before they heard Sarah's footsteps approaching the kitchen. Left for Damien, he would not mind remaining in that position when Sarah walked in but Joanna quickly pulled away and jumped down from the table before rushing out while fixing her clothes.Joanna walked into the living room and was able to stop Sarah from going into the kitchen. Sarah raised a brow at Joanna. “You look messed up” she commented, her eyes gliding through her clothes“What happened?” She asked the moment she noticed Joanna's puffy eyesSarah held her face and stared at her. “Tell me” she spoke, firmlyJoanna smiled and waved her

Joanna was surprised, as she did not expect him to say that. She looked taken aback, but also smitten by the gesture. “Are you serious?” She asked, with a smile on her face alreadyDamien nodded with a smile. “Yes, and I got you something,” he said, and she was even more surprisedWhat could he have gotten for her? Damien gave her his hand, which she took. He led her to the living room and on the couch lay a blue gown in a garment bag. Damien picked it up and unzipped it to reveal the full dress.Joanna's eyes widened as she saw the dress in Damien's hands. “You shouldn't have,” she said as she took it from him with a smile on her face as she checked out the dress“I’m asking you on a date so I had to get you something,” Damien told herHe had been thinking about this for days and was the more reason he decided to get a job that paid every day so he could save up to get her the best dress he could afford. Joanna said nothing as she kept on checking out the dress with a wide smile on h
