The Lovely Mistake

Chapter 7

Zac's POV
I held my chest in a bid to stop my heart from racing madly but the fact that Diana was standing beside me looking drop dead gorgeous! and the fact that I almost kissed her wasn't helping matters. Why did she have to dress in a red gown, looking like a whole meal at a dinner table?
God! I've got to think straight! But she's not helping matters, her perfume filled my nostrils and I sincerely tried not to stare at her, which was impossible, I just couldn't handle it...
  We arrived at Sir Greg's place and I must say that in my entire life, I've never seen a house so magnificent! The interior and exterior designs were out this morning! Everything seemed like a movie to me, money spoke volumes in this place that I felt a little intimidated, I felt so small.
His garage was like a parking lot where different kinds of cars of different sizes were parked.

At the dinner table...
"... And that's how business should be done" and Mr. Greg burst out laughing and Diana joined in with a little smile. She kept staring at her feet and looked uncomfortable, what was wrong, does her feet hurt? I couldn't take my eyes off her as I kept staring at her with concern.
"I like what I see, now I'm convinced that you really love each other". OK that shocked me as I looked up to see Mr. Greg with a smirk while sipping a drink. I looked at him, same with D who just looked at him.
"You kept stealing glances at him while he couldn't stop staring at you". He said and laughed while we just smiled awkwardly and continued with our dinner. I never stared at her again but was really concerned... On another thought she was stealing glances at me.... I smiled and continued my meal, later on, they went ahead to finalize their deal.
"Thank you sir, I really appreciate you doing business with us and I can promise you that you won't regret it".
"I'm sure I won't" he had a smile in his voice.
Immediately I heard them coming closer, I cut the call and put my phone into my pocket... I just had a call from an unwanted caller and it totally wiped out my smile.
"Here you are... You can take her home now, I won't want to be the barrier between two lovers" he said and D turned red and I couldn't help but smile, she really is my happy pill. He went back in with the excuse that he was tired and asked the maids to help us out. Just as he left, D nearly fell but I was quick to catch her. What was wrong?
"You OK?"
"Y... Yes, I...am fine... Ouch" she said faintly while looking at her feet. She tried to stand properly but fell back into my arms while desperately trying to undo her shoes but was trying to act normal about it. I sighed and lifted her up...
      
    Diana's POV
I was still contemplating on taking off my shoes cause my feet hurt like hell and I just couldn't walk properly again with it, every step hurt. And just then, I felt strong arms under my legs and next I found myself face to face with Zac, AGAIN!
"What're you doing? Put me down right now!" I ordered but he paid a deaf ear to it, he was the one person in the world who got under my nerves so easily. I wasn't being stubborn becauseI wanted to, but because the close contact with him was making me feel funny. He gently placed me on a chair and took off my shoes which has eaten deep into my skin as it left painful marks on my skin but I felt relieved that my feet could finally breathe...
"Woow... You shouldn't wear heels this high and so tight, now look what they did to your pretty feet" he said, turning my feet by the ankle as he examined it. My feet was a mixture of red and white designed in forms of marks and a little cut on my pinky toe.
"OK... Let's go". I stood up to leave and he picked up my heels, but before I could take the first step, I was lifted into his arms again and this time I screamed!
"PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW! OR ELSE..."

"Or else what?"
"I'll scream RAPE!". He stopped in his tracks and looked down at me in amusement.
"Really? I'm your husband..." He said as a reminder and continued walking as one who held nothing. I tried to scream again...
"Put me..." He stopped and looking me in the eye with those killer eyes
"One more word from you and I'm gonna kiss you" he said matter of fact and I froze as the blood rushed to my cheeks. The nerve of this guy and his ability to control me was maddening!
Just the thought of his lips on mine sent shivers down my spine and I didn't make a single sound even though the voices in my head kept telling me to do so and see if he would and seriously wish he would, the very first time they both agreed to something.
We got home and after I took a shower I went to bed while Zac also went to take a shower and the events of the whole day kept flashing in my memory... Then his phone rang and I looked at it with less concern but the name it bore made me look back and have a rethink...
"My Jewel" was clearly written on it and for the first time in my life, I knew what jealousy was! I'm sure it's a female! Who is she? Is it the female reporter he was flirting with?  I'm so gonna deal with her if she's the one. I picked the call making sure Zac couldn't hear me...
"Baby why aren't you picking my calls? I've been calling for the past one hour. I see you on TV now and you still look good, much better I'd say. I know we've broken up and I was the one who asked for it but we can still fix it. Baby I know you still love me and it's not over even though you're married and I know you don't love her like you love me". I totally lost it! My Zac, your baby? You must be kidding me
"Bab..."
"Hello?"
"W... Who are you? What are you doing with my boyfriend's phone?"
"This is Zac's baby speaking... And just to make it clear, his WIFE!" I could feel the tension in her silence.
"And let me make this clear, he's mine... My Husband!

"And I'd appreciate it if you stop calling my husband, he's married!" I said and cut the call, switching it off at once and hiding it under the pillow.
