The rain poured heavily that night with no warning of it's end. I twisted and turned on the bed, with Eric beside me, cuddling me and sending warmth all over my body...he always knew how to make up for ignoring my wishes. I had a dream that night...I was sitting on my desk and Mr Hot brought food basket, sat with me and we talked all day. His handsomeness was driving my brain nuts.

I watched Eric sleep...he was so handsome, slept like nothing bothered him and I was glad he was dating me he chose me I said to myself. I got up to use the bathroom, and I accidentally woke him up.

'I'm sorry,' I said.

'What's the time?' he asked sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

'It's 4:30am. You need to sleep.' I added, walking to the bathroom. The rain hit hard on the roofs of houses and thunder struck hard. I wished I could use this as an excuse to stay back at home.

I laid back and closed my eyes, feeling his embrace and smiling sheepishly. I drifted to sleep.

The alarm rang so close to my ear and I woke up instantly. I had barely slept. I snoozed it for 10minutes and closed my eyes again. I hated going to the office when rain fell. The alarm rang again and I opened my eyes, stopped it and got up. Eric was already prepared to leave.

'Babe please can you drop me off at the office?' I asked politely saying he was obligated to in my head.

'Start preparing. I'll make coffee.'

I smiled such a sweetheart. I rushed into the bathroom, took a shower and wore a green off-shoulder dress Eric bought for me last year on my birthday. I had worn it to dinner with him. He said it brought out my shape. I posed beside the wardrobe mirror with my hair down and looked into his eyes.

'So beautiful,' he said and I smiled, walked up to him and kissed him on his lips with so much passion.

'I'm ready to go.' I wore my stiletto yellow heels and picked the yellow purse. I poured the coffee into my stainless steel flask and walked out with Eric today will be great I assured myself, with the rain still in full force.

Eric dropped me at my office E-Jhay TV. He kissed my cheek and I walked out, running into the shade of the office door. I checked the time, it was 9:00am right on time. I looked at Mr Hot's office and he was there...our eyes met and he winked at me, making my heart flutter.
