CHAPTER 9

A Second Chance In Love

Monday morning appear so quickly, I wish the weekend was longer. Staring at my self in the mirror, I smoothly apply a nude lipstick to my lips to finish off with my make up. I style my hair neatly in a ponytail, just didn't feel like feeling hair on my back today.

I smooth my dark blue, tight dress with my hands before grabbing my black bag and head out. EJ was a good boy this morning, he didn't gave much trouble to get ready for school. I dropped him off five minutes ago and was on my way to the office.

"Good morning" I greet a few co-workers as I enter the elevator.

"Good morning" they mumble

I wasn't close to any of them but still I saw them around each day. The ride is smooth and relaxing until the ding sound is hear and the door open. I watch as they walk out leaving me alone. I haven't stop on the twentieth floor since Craig wasn't around and I didn't really like his secretary to be friends with her.

Another ding and the door open again, this time it's my stop. I walk out of the elevator, addressing my bag properly to my shoulder as I walk down to my cabin. Nervousness mix with anger take my body over as I imagine seeing Logan face. I am still piss at him for just leaving like that.

__

The day finally came half day great, I haven't laid eyes on Logan. I round up the pieces of work I was doing and head to the cafeteria for my lunch. Normally Craig and I would go out if he was here but I don't feel like going out on my own.

I still don't have a clue of whose been in that black Ferrari car following me around. I think I should make a report to the police about it because I remember that same car following me around in Cape Town.

"You're next" a voice said behind me breaking my thoughts.

I turn around seeing a short, petite body lady. She has caramel complexion, hazel eyes with tall brownish black hair. Her make-up was flawless and she was cute.

"Aren't you gonna order?" She ask motioning to the lady waiting for my order.

I nodd smiling then turn to the impatient lady.

"I'm sorry, can I have a vegetable salad with a orange juice please"

"I'm Leslie" the lady speak Behind me again

"Nice meeting you, I'm Brook" I smiling shaking her hands.

"So you look new"

"Yes I recently start working as the accountant here"

The lady hand me my order as well as Leslie's order. We walk to a table in the corner and get to know each other better. Turn out she work in the marketing department as a assistant on the tenth floor. She's from Brooklyn, same age as me, married to an lawyer and they had a three years old daughter.

I told her my story but not that our boss the twin of my dead boyfriend. I told her about EJ and she want us to meet up sometime out of work with the kids. It's feel great to meet a new person I can talk to while Craig is not here.

"I guess I'll be seeing you around" she say as we ride the elevator together.

"Yes sure" I smile

"Bye" she wave

I wave back at her as she step off the elevator that stop on the tenth floor.

Just as I get off the elevator and walking down the hallway to my cabin, I spot him. So now he decide to show up and to my surprise, he didn't just barge into my cabin. I don't know why apart of me feeling so exciting to see him but I brush that thought away.

Without turning the black of my eyes to look at him, I open my cabin door and enter. I place my purse and phone on the desk and turn around staring at him with my hands fold over my chest.

"Hi" he speaks

"Hi" I speaks back seriously.

"I send you a email to send me the list of cars that was sold for this month but you didn't reply"

Seriously! So he's just gonna pretend like he didn't do something wrong.... Not even an apology first, gosh he's unbelievable. Without replying I head over to my desk and open my computer. I quickly response to his email, sending the list of cars that was sold and the total in all.

"Done" I angrily say.

"Thank you" he reply turning to the door.

"So you just left like that huh? No goodbye... You could atleast help me explain things to EJ" I say angrily getting on my feet.

He stop and turn looking at me without saying anything. Can't he see how much his brother mean to me? I just hoping he'll just talk to me, answer my questions and stop being so hard on me.

"Please just talk to me, you have no idea how much I love your brother.... My heart still pain after loosing him, I don't sleep good in three years neither eat properly. EJ is the only person that keep a smile on my face and keep me going.

I just wish you could atleast tell me where his grave is and what happened. I need your help to tell EJ that his father is dead, I can't do this alone... Please Logan" I plead.

My face soaking wet with tears, its just hard dealing with the lost of someone you love. I thought it would heal by now, its three years and it still feel like it just happen. When EJ asked about his father the other day just made it hurt more and now seeing his twin brother each day just too much.

The smell of his powerful cologne break my thoughts and I realize how close he is to me. His thumb wiping the tears from my face and I allow him. I get a familiar feeling from his touch and it keep me relax. This isn't right I can't be feeling this for Ethan brother, Its wrong.

"I'm sorry" his raspy voice say

Before I could response his lips were already on mine, I'm shock. I want to pull away but something keep pulling me to him, I then find myself kissing him back and his hands pulling me in closer to him.

His lips is so soft and tender, the way his tongue move with mine is like we've done this before. His hands press to my lower back pulling me so close and my hands gladly wrap around his neck. A beautiful feeling stirring up inside me and I inwardly wish this could go further.

I never knew someone else could make me feel this way other than Ethan.  Ethan must be disappointed in me, I just know his brother and here I am kissing him. It's so wrong but still it feels right.
