1 You’re really back!

Alexander Ford.

Number 1 on every weekly page in Forbes. Fluent in Spanish, French, Korean, and of course English and so much more that i have lost count of.

And oh, it seems i forgot to mention that he is one hell of a ladies man as Forbes will put it and well working for him doesn't cover any less. Though i still wonder what the women see in him. To me, all i see is a fine ass heartbreaker.

So yeah he may be handsome, but i'm not a fan of men who look like they were sculpted different from any of us. Either ways, it doesn't bother me cause he can never be as attractive as my one and only JEREMY. The love of my life.

"Is Diana West gawking at her boss?" My gaze snaps away from Mr Ford whom is walking out of the office.

"Please does this face look like someone who can gawk over anyone else asides from my Jeremy?"

"Of course Jeremy again and again." Cynthia rolls her eyes. "I tell you, you don't give a man your hundred percent, you are gonna end up disappointed, girl." Cynthia adds and i find myself getting pissed at her usual statement to me, but jokes on her cause it never seems to work and Jeremy and i are still going strong.

"Jeremy loves me and i love him too. Simple and end of discussion." I end the discussion with Cynthia by passing by her and walking inside our office.

"i'm just telling you girl, don't say i didn't tell you so, i speak from experience." Cynthia adds and i soon get tired of her advise that words slip out of my mouth.

"Just cause you and Sam didn't work out Cynthia, doesn't mean other relationships based on true love wouldn't work out. I guess you too weren't good for each other, but i and my Jeremy are perfect, so please enough of this. Im tired of hearing it." I just don't get why its a problem for a woman to proclaim her love out loud for the man she loves, buy him gifts every week, pay the rent, and shower him with affection in every way possible. Why is it made to be one sided and whenever the guy does this, it is seen as true love but vice versa for the other gender.

Cynthia gives me a stun look as my words do come shocking to her and even myself, but i soon realize that when it comes to Jeremy, i can not keep mute, unlike the way i do for myself. My gaze meets with that of Cynthia but i avoid them immediately, pretending noty to be the one who just bashed her previous relationship.

But anyways, its the truth.

"Alright, just dont come knocking on my door when it happens." Cynthia adds and i can tell my words did get to her. Cynthia and i have a cool relationship, asides from just working together, as we also grab lunch and go out sometimes after work, also, she seems to know more about me than any of my colleagues. Well that's because im not the social type and after work i head home straight to the love of my life. Unfortunately, i've been spending more time to myself at home these past week, cause Jeremy is on a work trip.

I open my mouth to speak and correct what i have just said to Cynthia cause it may have sounded mean, but a call comes in and i end up smiling seeing Jeremy's name with hearts all over, while i see Cynthia only roll her eyes.

"Hey babe," My excitement all over the phone.

"Hey, how are you?" Jeremy asks me, while i can't help but catch a difference in his tone.

"i'm okay, just missing you so much. Are you okay?" I ask Jeremy before taking a seat on my chair.

"Yeah, i'm good. I'll be back today." Jeremy tells me and my face lit up forgetting any difference i heard in his tone earlier.

"Really? Oh my God... I can't wait!" My lips curling up fully, that i forget where i am.

"Yeah, alright i gatta go now. Talk to you when i get back." Jeremy adds, before he ends the call and my lips still remains with a smile staring at my phone, before they move to catch Cynthia nodding her head negatively at my situation.

Whatever.

-_________________________

I set up the last part of the table, by placing the wine for for our dinner to give Jeremy a beautiful welcome and not long after the door bell rings, making my toes curl and my stomach tingle while i check out the new blue dress i just bought.

I open the door, seeing the love of my life standing outside as my arms jump to him and i embrace him tight.

"You're really back!" i pull away from Jeremy before placing a kiss on his lips, while he chuckles lightly.

"Yes i am," Jeremy says as i can only stare at him with the smile on his lip, yet i cant help but notice the little bags under his eyes.

"You haven't been sleeping much, have you?" I move away from the door, while Jeremy walks in.

"That noticeable huh?" He raises a brow.

"Well good for you that you have a girlfriemd like me, cause i have prepared a hot bath for you and your dinner is served." I tell Jeremy with a bright smile on my lips while my hands move to caress his torso. Unlike Jeremy, whom usually responds to my touches, this time he seems stiff, while my brows furrows at him. "What is wrong Jeremy, is everything okay?" i ask him.

"Yeah, i just...i need to yell you something." Jeremy says and my hands drop from his torso, while i watch him stare at me diiferently, as though im not the woman hes been with for four years.

"What is it? Did something happen on the work trip?" i ask him concerned.

"No, it didn't." Jeremy answers as with his response my heart seems to skip a beat.

"Then what is it?" i ask him again, this time with fear in my eyes, while i wait for my boyfriend to speak.

"I can't do this anymore. I can't be with you anymore."
