Chereads / His Only Love / Chapter 23 - I love you

Chapter 23 - I love you

Since she wasn't reporting to work, she decided to sleep for more hours. As she was laying on the bed, she opened her eyes slowly. She blinked numerously as she tried to stare at the watch on the other side of the bed. It was already dawn and she had to wake up. She remembered how Brianna informed her that Shawn liked her. She also sensed that but shoved the idea. She didn't want to start overthinking about something that might be a lie.

She got out of the bed and headed towards the kitchen area. Her eyes widened slightly as she stared at the burger and mango juice. She was delighted that Brianna had made breakfast for her. She took the burger and the juice and headed to the study table. She started to consume the burger as she stared at it. After a while, she was done taking breakfast.

She headed to her bed and laid on it. Everything that had happened the previous day started replaying in her mind. She couldn't forget how Shawn was staring at her when she stood in front of him. This made her heart pound faster as she imagined him staring at her.

"No, he doesn't like you. Stop overthinking Catina just stop it", Catina was trying to convince herself that Shawn wasn't interested in her. But the way he was staring at her made her believe that he was interested in her. Even before she knew that he was her boss. When she first approached him in the club then the party. She noticed that he was interested in her.

As she was laying on the bed, she had someone knocking on the door. She wondered who it was since she wasn't expecting any visitors. She stood and headed towards the door. When she opened it, Zach was standing on the other side. His lips curved up widely as he stared at her.

"You welcomed", she mentioned signalling him to enter inside the house. He entered and headed to sit on Brianna's bed. Since they were living in a studio apartment, the only place he could sit was on the bed.

"How have you been", he asked her as he lifted his brows.

"Am doing well", she informed him that she was doing alright. Especially cause of her work of being the personal assistant of Shawn. Then he gave her some clothes to wear. She was supposed to be happy cause everything in her life was going on well.

"Wow am doing good too. Why have you been so silent nowadays", he asked her. He had missed her so much and didn't understand the reason why she was so mute on him. Before she started working they were spending most of their free time together. He was her best friend and he knew it.

"Am so sorry been so busy with my new job kindly forgive me please", it wasn't her intention to do that. She was preoccupied with her new job.

"It's fine I do understand", he was among the most understanding people she had met. She was delighted that he had no grudge at all.

"Wow that's good so how are you", Cat raised a question. She wanted to know, how he was fairing on. She couldn't forget him cause he was her best friend and she treasured him a lot.

"Am doing well too I came here to tell you something important", Zach mentioned. He went straight to the point. He stood and headed towards her bed. He sat close to her and stared into her eyes. Cat had no idea what he was planning to do. He moved too close to her which made her wonder what he was about to tell her. His thumb brushed her lower lip, she heard when his breath hitched. He was staring into her eyes. Her heartbeat accelerated as she stared at him, she couldn't believe that he was staring at her that way. This was the first time that he was staring at her in that way. She could see it in his eyes the way he was yawning for her. She gasped out loudly as she moved further away from him. But he moved closer to her even more, he wanted to see her reaction. He was amazed by how she was behaving and so innocently.

He pressed his lips on hers, she wasn't expecting him to do that. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at him. She turned her head and looked the other side. He chuckled as she did this, he was amused by her. He kissed her neck as she was staring at the door. She wasn't expecting him to act that way.

"Please stop", she said hoping that he would stop kissing her. He stopped and sat beside her.

"Why are you doing this what's up with you", she wanted an explanation for what he did.

"I love you Cat", he mentioned staring at her. She couldn't believe that he loved her in that way. She loved him like her brother and she never thought of him being her boyfriend.

"Aaah...", her eyes widened as she stared at him. She couldn't believe that he loved her in that way. Brianna always told her that Zach's loved her but she always denied it. Now she believed that it was true that he loved her.

"Yes, I do love you so much. Do you love me too or....", Zach raised a brow at her. He wanted to know if she felt the same way.

"Yes I do love you but like my brother and best friend", it wasn't her intention to heart brake him. She didn't want to lie to him then later dump him. She wanted him to know the truth and how she felt.

"It's fine I do understand that...", he mentioned standing up. He thought that maybe she loved him too. But he was wrong, she didn't love him the way that he loved her. He headed outside and closed the door. Cat laid on the bed as she gasped out loudly. She couldn't believe that her best friend was in love and the person that he loved was her.
