Words were stuck in her throat as though there was a ball there, tears welled up In her eyes as the words came out of his mouth. If only he knew, if only he knew that the child was his, and what she'd done was only to protect him, but she couldn't just tell him. "what are you doing here Derek ", she mustered the courage to form those words as there was a ball in her throat, due to the tears she trying hard not to let fall, "I came to tell you that you've been given the job, get to the office by eight am sharp tomorrow morning, he said arrogantly with a blank emotion across his face. "o- ok, Ella answered stammering "is that all".
Derek did not answer, instead he just left angrily ,Ella was still standing in the front porch as she watched him drive away before she slid back into her house.****************************
He just couldn't get why she just stared at him on awe, he threw all sorts of insults at her, but she replied neither of them. Instead she just stared at him. He just kept on driving his car in anger, not caring about the speed limit, his mind was disturbed, images of the little girl in her arms just kept on flashing through his mind, he felt devastated but most of all angry, angry at her for cheating on him, also at himself for letting her slip away from his grasp. He was brought out of his thoughts as he saw the flashing lights of another vehicle headed his way, in a swift motion, he directed his vehicle to another direction and parked, he hadn't noticed that rain was falling, he had always loved the rain since he was little, it made him feel at peace, he listened to the roaring of the thunder, as the rain was dropping heavily on the bonnet of his car, if he went any further, he's likely to have an accident, so he decided to turn and head back to where he was coming from.*******************
Ella was preparing herself for bed when she heard a knock on her door, she wondered who it might be by this time of the night, she tightened her robe around her body and went down the stairs. She opened the door to see the the person she least expected. "hello" she spoke without stammering, she was even surprised she still had that amount of courage, she thought she would have melted down under his gaze. "good evening " he replied politely, "can I come in? " Derek asked as water was dripping off his body "yeah, sure am sorry, come in" Ella opened the door wider for him, granting him entrance, Derek stepped in, he surveyed his environment, he was not at all surprised as to how the home looked, he remembered her taste, how they had planned on decorating their home after they got married. He was brought out of his thoughts as he saw Ella standing right in front of him stretching a towel in front of him. " the guest room is just a walk down the hall, you can have a bath, I'll just dry your clothes for you, so you'll have to wait a little bit." Elle said without glancing at him, as she was about to leave he held her wrist and dragged her back making her to collide with his chest, her hands immediately went up to his chest, she glanced up to take a brief look at him, as she was about to take her head back down, he held her chin and prevented her from looking away, "why are you avoiding my gaze Ella" her heart skipped a beat as she heard her name come out of his mouth, before she knew what was happening, his lips came down on hers, she tried resisting but she couldn't, she missed him, the way his lips felt on hers the way their bodies melted together, she kisses him back, they kept on kissing until they were both out of breath. "why " as Ella heard that word get body went rigid, she didn't know what to say, she tried to withdraw away from his grasp but he held her tighter preventing her from leaving . Derek was annoyed, he noticed that immediately he asked her that question she went rigid and tried avoiding his gaze, "dammit! Ella talk to me, say something, just tell me the fucking reason why you left, I just want to know " he said calmly, even if he was far away from being calm. He didn't want to scare her off. " I can't" she managed to say that word, Derek rumbled his hair out of frustration and left, he went to the room to get have a bath, by the time he got out of the bathroom, he met his clothes neatly folded on the bed, he just put on his boxer and went to the bed, immediately his head dropped onto the pillow he drifted to sleep.
