Chapter Eighteen

Two hours after we slept, I woke up in the same position as we slept, I pushed Kevin a bit so I could move and got up. He was still wearing his shoes so I took them off and covered him with a blanket.

I went to the kitchen, poured myself a glass of water and sat on the island. The mass of the information I got before I slept was enormous, I know that it took him a lot of courage and a lot of trust to open up the way he did. He told me the darkest secrets of his life and that made me really thankful for his honesty.

But this is all too much for me, the feelings I have for this man are beyond normal but he is still married to that awful woman. How am I to carry a normal relationship with him? Can I be with him while he is still married to another woman and sharing a kid with her? How did I end up like this? What am I suppose to do?

My head is full with questions that I don’t have answers for. This is so far the most awkward and toughest situation I have ever been in my entire life. Work problems feel now like a piece of cake, breaking up with Raymond for no apparent reason according to him is now a silly and dump problem.

I meet this great man, we fall for each other, we can’t keep ourselves, we can’t control ourselves and then he tells me that he is married and has a child. I feel like a drama actress, except that this is real life and I have no idea what to do next.

I obviously cannot resolve this problem at 6 am, on a working day. Normally, after a sleepless night I stay at home, but there is no way I am staying today, I need to take my mind off all the drama I had this weekend and last night.

Thankfully I don’t need to shower since I took one before sleeping last night, so I got dressed and went out of the house without waking Kevin up.

Tuesdays mornings are usually quiet in the office since most of the employees are in their weekly meetings, so I can guarantee myself a calm morning.

“Oh look who decided to join us” Sofia said greeting me as I was going into my office.

“Oh Sof, when did we become adults?” I asked her with a winey as I hugged her.

“Go into your office I will get you your coffee and you will tell me about it.” She answered as she took my handbag and coat from me.

I really want to tell her about everything, but I am not sure I can, I mean she is my best friend, I trust her even more than I do myself. But this information might jeopardize Kevin’s career and reputation.

 “Here is your daily dosage of caffeine; can you tell me what is wrong?” Sofia said interrupting my thoughts.

She came in before I decide whether I should tell her or not so I think that for now I won’t say anything.

“Nothing important dear, I just had a long long weekend, I will tell you about it later, now let’s get to work I need to get busy myself”. I told her as I took the tablet out of her hand to check my schedule. I think she did not believe but I played dumb.

Luckily I had a very busy day; work really took my mind off all the things happening in my life now. Between phone conferences with Tokyo and interpreting a meeting with our Russian partners the day passed really quickly and it turned 6 already.

It was 6 and I haven’t heard from Kevin nor did he show up to his office. I went back to my place expecting it to be empty, but to my surprise it wasn’t.

Kevin was still there and was still sleeping in the same position as I left him. He must be really exhausted because he has been sleeping for more than 12 hours. I sat next to him on the bed and caressed his face with the back of my hand; he shuffled underneath my touch but didn’t wake up. I really love this man, I cannot believe the amount of pain and betrayal he felt with that Jamie. His phone next to him was vibrating, it wrote “George”, I think this is his father’s PA. When it stopped vibrating I saw 16 missed calls, 26 emails and 22 text messages. This is what happens when the CEO of a company falls asleep the entire day.
