Meeting my CEO

CHAPTER 4

Wow... Caleb, I thought he had abandoned me, after all this time he

finally speaks to me. Caleb has been ignoring me since like what... 3

months after I got married to Kyle, he wouldn't speak to me even after I

tried calling and texting. He said he was in love with me but I didn't

know this, he didn't tell me till I informed him about Kyle's proposal to

me. Then he started professing his love to me... I was taken aback. I

love Caleb, he's my best friend but I don't habour those kind of romantic

feelings towards him. I love Kyle. The text message read "I'm really sorry

For the way I've been acting towards you Lola, please meet me at Sally's

restaurant, our favourite spot". I sighed, I love Caleb and I will readily

forgive him, as a matter of fact I was never really mad at him, I

understood what he was going through, he was hurt but I guess he is

over it now. I texted back "it's OK Caleb, what time do you want to

meet?" I dropped my phone on the bed side table and walked to over

to the large dressing mirror. I studied my reflection and... Wow I really

did look a mess, I didn't clean off my make up from the previous night

although it wasn't that bad because I always go for light make up. I

looked at my little bit swollen cheek and the bruise formed on the side of
my head as a result of the rough fall I had to the ground. What was I

going to say to Caleb when he saw this. He is going to be pissed,

anyway I'll do all I can to cover the best I can, hopefully he won't really

notice it I thought. Kyle came out of the shower going to get dressed,

just then my phone beeped, I had a text and I'm guessing it's from

Caleb, I knew he heard it, it was loud enough so there was no need to

pretend or to cover up. The thing is Kyle doesn't like me being around

other men. I walked over to the bedside table

hoping that Kyle wouldn't be interested in the text since he was rushing of

to work.. I mean seeing how much he always tries to control my life.

I tried not to act too suspicious doing my best to be as casual as possible.

I opened the text which read "thank you Lola, 11:00am if that's

fine by you" I managed a quick"yes it is" and I closed it and dropped my
phone. I was making my way to the bathroom when Kyle's voice rang in

my head "what was that?" God, why can't I just be in life. "Oh.. That,

oh.. It's nothing just an old friend" I managed to say without

stammering so much. "An old friend" he repeated in that tone i

dread so much while looking at me intensely. I tried not to fumble as

I replied as casually as possible "yes.. an old friend" and with that I

made my way to the bathroom, locked the door and sank to the floor.

This is too much I thought, I can't even live my life freely without

fearing what Kyle would do. I wonder what he would do if he found

out I was meeting up with Caleb. Would he be mad at me?, would he

hit me? Or would he just let it be knowing that I and Caleb have been

best friends long before I met him. After some time to myself I heard

Kyle call out "babe I'm off to work" "OK honey have a good day" I

answered. I stood up and went to the sink to brush my teeth then I

ran a hot bath for myself. I really needed it at this moment to soothe

my aching body.

After a long bath, I made my way to the room. I checked the time and

it read 10:01am. I dressed up and put on my light make up as usual but enough to cover up my bruise,

I didn't want anything too heavy or even heavy at all but I tried as

much as possible to cover up all the bruises I had. I did a really good

job but my cheek was still a little bit swollen, don't think Caleb would

notice though. I was dressed in a plain dark blue skinny denim Jean

trouser with an armless peach coloured chiffon top. I slipped on a

pair of white ballet flat shoes with my small white bag. My hair was

down to cover my slightly swollen cheek. I grabbed the keys to the SUV and made out of the

house. Sally's restaurant was not a long drive. I got there just in time

11:00am on the dot. I walked in and looked around and I saw Caleb

once at a window table sitting there by himself looking down at his

phone.. I guess. I walked over to him and he looked up from whatever

he was doing, he saw me and stood up gracefully to give me a hug

"My God Lola I've missed you so much, he said looking into my eyes. I'm really sorry for what I did

to you" he said apologetically and I hugged him back. "It's OK Caleb

I understand" I replied. We sat down and I sat across from him, he

just stared into my eyes making me blush with embarrassment

suddenly his expression changed from happy to one of confusion

then he moved my hair a bit backwards "Lola did someone hit you?"
