Chapter 53
Melissa
Two days have passed and he still hasn’t sent anyone. Fuck, I hate how much my body desires him and how crazy it feels when he’s only a few miles away and not touching me.
I can’t even remember how to work without pausing to have wild thoughts. How sexier can a man be? Watching him jerk off to me was supposed to be soothing; sort of a good memory for the times when I fuck myself but it’s just torture now.
Plain torture because nothing, not even the newly ordered dildo in my apartment can make me feel this way. It’s like ecstasy and tension in one sentence. A mix of two contradicting feelings
“Here you go,” Nate said as he handed a photocopy to me.
“Thanks.”
“Maybe you could add a smile at the end of each thank you. I feel like you’re not appreciative enough.”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Want me to kneel and say thank you?”
He smirked and I imagined what was going through his mind. Hell no.
“Forget it, ‘cause I won’t do that for a mere photocopy you helped me with.”
You’re the one calling it a mere photocopy,” he sneered. “I kind of have a record of everything I’ve done for you. More like a mental list.”
“Can you just let her be?” Chloe chirped and I smiled. “Thank you for that.”
“She’s not going to be here for a long time. Enjoy it while it lasts.
“At least this would last more than you’ll ever do.” I don’t know how that found its way out of my mouth but I promise you that I’ve never wondered how long Nate lasts.
I have never even thought of him that w

I laughed at how it sounded coming from her. She’s more of a reserved person and sounding like some biology teacher.
“You both,” she frowned. “Don’t even look at me like that.”
I raised my hands and giggled. I hate how this bond didn’t stand a chance thoughts she smiled. “I wish we had more time together as colleagues and friends.”

I turned to look at Nate and frowned. Even though I could say the same for him, I still think his presence has always been noticed. There are some people that you’ll never notice their presence or absence until something happens and at the thought of that, I noticed Andra’s desk.
“Me too, without her.”

“Andra isn’t at work?“.
“Called in sick. I think she’s got an appointment for some breathing issue, asthma I think.”
My mouth formed an O cause that just reminded me of when I first met Ian and he talked about meeting up with a doctor’s appointment. I asked to follow him but he refused saying it was just asthma and he was only going to pick up his inhaler.
Now the crazier part is he never had an attack all the while we were together but that could be because we didn’t live together.
“So what do you both say about having the bridal shopping tomorrow? It’s weekend and I think we can use that.”
“Of course,” I blurted hastily. I have no exact plan for my weekend except to send some money to my grandma and do my laundry. Well, I should also work out but I’ve been quite lazy to keep up with anything other than my glutes workout.
“That works fine too,” Nate said. “I’ll just prepare myself to be more tolerable this weekend.”
“Oh, me too. I’ll probably buy a new headphone on my way home so I don’t bother about the rubbish he’ll be spilling all day.”
“All day?” he scowled. “I can’t keep up with her all day.”
“But you’ve been doing it for the past six months. One extra day wouldn’t kill you.”
I haven’t even been keeping count of the time I’ve spent here at Hillstate. I just know that it’s been a while and more than that, a good while.
“Have you heard from Ian?” Chloe asked immediately regretting it because Nate looked at me. “What about him?”
“Shit, I’m sorry Mels.”
“Oh, it’s fine,” I blurted but it wasn’t. Having Nate in my business was the last thing I needed.
“What’s going on? Does little Mr Possessive need a written letter before you can join us?”
“Shut up Nate.”
“Maybe you could tell that to your controlling boyfriend.”
“He’s not my fucking boyfriend,” I flared and then took a deep breath.
“Quite an outburst for someone who isn’t,” he sneered and swiveled back to his table. I wish I could kill this boy. “That’s enough, Nate. Melissa doesn’t need this. They broke up and you of all people should understand that.” “Why? I’ve never been in a relationship let alone break up so I can’t relate.”
“But you can relate to getting ghosted after sex and hooking up with various women who don’t contact you afterward.” “You are misinformed, Melissa. I have a record of keeping the best women around, all at my disposal.”
“Now I don’t know which is more irritating. Engaging in this conversation with you or actually imagining what you’re saying
“Both, if you ask me.”
I shook my head and Chloe muffled a laughter. I felt like commending her for having this guy around her all these while and not ever stabbing him.

He should be glad I’ve got some self–control else I’d have him walking around with stitches every week.

We finally got ready to leave. Quite a busy day working late but our conversations didn’t make us feel it and that should count as something.
Just as I was about to flag a taxi, Nate moved closer to
