Worst betrayal

Amber's POV

It was around 5:30pm, I had returned from work. I was at home watching TV when I heard a knock on the door. I stood up to check who was at the door

"Hey, Robert" I said. I was so confused because I didn't invite him over to my house.

"Hi, I was bored at home so I decided maybe we should go out and you know just go out"he said

" I was just watching TV when you came in but let me go get my purse, I would love to go"I said.

I went to my room to take my purse and my phone. We left for the museum. I was still wondering why he would take me to the museum. It was really fun in the museum.

"You see that sculpture head over there, it is about a hundred years old"he said pointing to the sculpture and I smiled

We went round the museum and took cool pictures. After some minutes, we left the museum. We bought some doughnuts outside so we decided to eat them in the car

"I am really happy that I met someone like you in my life"he said holding my hand and I smiled

" Amber, I would love to be with you always" he said

I didn't really understand how he meant it but I knew that he was trying to make me his girlfriend

"Robert, I am not yet ready for any relationship now. I need to be alone for now but we can still be friends"I said

" I understand what you are going through and what you went through but sincerely speaking, I am different"he said looking into my eyes

" I think I should go home now, it is kinda getting late"I said while looking at my watch

" Okay let me drop you off"he said and started the car and drove off

We had a silent ride. I didn't talk to Robert. I was looking outside the window. When we got to my house,I wanted to get down when he held my hand

"See you at work tomorrow, Good night" he said

"Good night" I said smiling and I went inside

I didn't know whether I should believe him or not. After what Jackson did to me, It made me hard to believe men anymore. I just want to focus on my work for now and make enough money.

I knew Robert was nice and cool but that was how Jackson was the first time I met him. I went to the bathroom to take my bath and got into my nightgown and went to meet my mom in the living room.

"Who is that man that came to pick you up" she said looking at me.

"He is just one of my co-workers in the office" I said.

My mom was an open-minded person.
She doesn't keep fight or malice with people. If she doesn't like someone, she would say that she doesn't like the person. I was thinking that she doesn't like Robert

"What about him" I asked her

"He looks responsible" she said

I was so calm when she said that. It was true, Robert was a responsible man.

"Yes mom" I said

"I would be going to bed now, good night" she said

I sat in the living room for a while to watch TV. I decided to watch cartoon, I hadn't watched cartoon in a long while. When I was watching TV. I remembered Alice, she hadn't called me since the day she told me she was traveling. So I called her and she picked it.

"Hey Alice" I said

"Amber, how are you" she replied

"I am fine"I said then I heard someone's voice that sounded like Jackson's voice but I thought it should be Dane

"Is that Dane" I asked

"Yes it is Dane" she said

"Okay, can I speak with him"I asked

" Nope.... He just went into the bathroom" she said

" Okay, How is everything over there"I asked

" It is fine"she said

" So when are you coming back " I asked

" Actually I found a job here and Dane is also working here so we have decided to stay over here"she said

" Permanently" I asked

" Somehow"she said

"I really miss your face, let's do a video call"I said

" Amber, I have to go now, Dane needs me. We would do a video call some other time"she said

" Okay got meet your man"I said while laughing and I ended the call

Alice was acting really weird. Before she was the one who calls me all the time and we normally do video call most times. I really missed my best friend.

Alice's POV

It was on a Friday in the morning, Jackson had travelled for his business meeting. I was at home all alone
