“I enjoyed the concert last night, thank you." Soraya thanked Noah.
“The pleasure's mine." He smiled at her as she went silent all of a sudden.
“What's up?" He asked noticing her change in mood.
“Im leaving for Jersey City, in two days and I don't want to go, whatever this is I am enjoying it." She voiced out.
“Then I could come with you, I live in Jersey City too." He added.
“Really? Aren't you here for an important duty?" She asked as they walked to his car.
“Well, I am but I would be done tomorrow, so you and I can leave the next day." He told.
“What job do you do?" She asked.
“Well, I am a PA." He admitted.
“Okay, I am a CEO, but it doesn't matter does it?" She smiled. At first, she would have been bothered but now she didn't anymore.
“Nope, it doesn't." He answered as the sat on the bonnet of his car starring into the night.
“Hey," Zed said as he hugged Freya from the back. They stood at the balcony of her building that night. The view from there was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Hi," She smiled melting into his touch.
“What's on your pretty little mind?" He asked kissing her temple.
“Just grateful for how my prayers have come to pass, finally I am with the man I've loved for such a long time." She sighed as Zed remained silent. She didn't want to force him to love her, she knew he only said it back because she says 'I love you' on a regular basis. She just wanted to shower him with love, to know how it feels to love and to be loved.
“Are you okay?" She turned to her man who was lost in thought.
“Did you delete a message someone sent to me the day you came over to my office for lunch?" He asked suddenly remembering.
“Yeah, I did, it was from Soraya wanting you guys to get back together, I replied you had moved on and deleted the message." She admitted. He moved further away from her. He was hurt she didn't tell him and she didn't trust him.
If she did she wouldn't have done what she did.
“Why didn't you tell me?" He blurted out as she remained silent.
“You thought I was going to go back for her? How little you trust me." He said walking back inside as she stood at her balcony in sadness. She didn't want to follow him inside yet. She just wanted to give him time to cool off until she heard the door shut and then saw him walk to his motorcycle and drive off.
Just when I thought I had him to myself.
Why can't he let go of her?
Why?!
Freya lamented sitting on her lazy chair up on the balcony.
Am I not worthy of his love?
