We also joked and decided that Saturday we would hang up and catch up because time did not seem to be on our side.
When I heard the floor of her elevator ding I knew that Josiah was in the building and was the one standing in the elevator so I took Jacob's hand was we walked to the stairs which were on the opposite side of the elevator meaning that Josiah's only view of me was my back and whoever's hand I was holding.
"Am I the only one who felt that stare down" he asked looking at me and he did ask in a whispering manner.
"Nope" I said popping the P at the end and laughed.
"He probably got a think for that ass" he said looking at me up and down.
"If only I wasnt gay" he said with a smile making me laugh.
"He probably got nothing on this ass he was mad that we are late actually since we were on his floor at exactly eight oh one" I said looking at him.
There is no way I would admit that there was once a thing going on between me and Josiah especially to Jacob who seemed like he didn't give a fuck enough to keep his mouth closed about it.
I shook my head as the elevator doors dinged open and I said a bye to Jacob as I got out.
It took me back to a few weeks ago when I turned down Josiah's suggestions in the meeting room.
How his face looked sad afterwards.
I wasn't there to feel any emotions but work.
So I ignored it.
He looked defeated and I remembered how that same day I went to Jacob and asked him if he could do me a favour.
I asked him if we could pretend to fake date since I needed to make someone jealous.
His expression was priceless when I told him and he laughed at first saying that I was joking.
I looked at him blankly and that was when he got it.
"But every one knows that I'm gay" he said looking at me and I smiled looking at him.
His face paled when he picked up what I would reply.
"Please don't force them to start believing that I'm bisexual" he said looking at me.
I laughed.
That was how evil I was getting.
The only thing I did was stare at him with a challenging look.
After blackmailing and bribing him with food and whatever it took for him to accept fake dating me it worked.
Honestly I thought it would take longer.
He agreed with the conditions that I as long as I wouldn't tell anyone that we are fake dating and he wouldn't tell anyone also.
It has been a week and a half now.
To be honest I was enjoying time with him and to say that I had no romantic feelings for him was the most I could say.
In public we did the couple bullshit and in private we would laugh it off.
I also remembered the second day of us dating how we were caught by the boss himself in the lobby as I acted like the surprised girlfriend when he brought for me food and the least I could do was peck him on the lips.
Talk about laser eyes.
I almost rolled on the floor laughing when a fuming Josiah appeared in our way and gave us a whole lecture stating how relationships between colleagues was a restriction in this building.
I know
How ironic.
We nodded our heads and replied with yes Sir so that he would get off our asses.
From that time Josiah started suspecting that the person I was trying to make jealous was Josiah.
I mean I wouldn't blame him if he noticed because it was definetly him and it was going according to my plan.
My way.
My day dreaming ended when I sat infront of my computer and goodness did I feel great for starting my day after accomplishing a couple of things.
Another unexpected person paid me a visit during my lunch break which I so happened to spend in my office and that was exactly when I got the phone call from Malia.
My heart broke into pieces.
And when I cut the call with tears rolling down my eyes he became concerned.
I didnt know if I was allowed to sob with this man watching me but the self pity in me didnt allow my pride and ego to surface so I did sob.
I kept my head in my palms and sobbed.
I sobbed for the friend that I just lost.
I sobbed for Ciella's heart that would be shattered when she comes from that coma.
"What is wrong?" He immediately came to my side and held me as I sobbed.
"Please drive me to this hospital I'll answer all your questions later" I asked sniffing back the tears.
"Look you are his bestfriend alright tell him that I left early to go mourn and help arrange a funeral" I said standing up.
"Hold up I'm coming with you" he said behind me as he tried to catch up with my steps.
How could he be dead.
There were some things I couldn't understand.
The drive to the hospital was five minutes away but it seemed like it was longer.
It took forever in my head and when we reached there I came out of the car Before he could go park and speed walked to the floor she told me she was in.
"We just lost her and the baby" those were the words that echoed in the room when I stepped in there.
I felt all the strength leave my legs and if it wasnt for Jonathan behind me I would have ended up on the floor.
