They kissed each other aggressively as they wrapped their body around each other
"Grace I want you, I want you right now and I can't fucking hold back anymore" he whispered into her ears
Grace could not believe what she was hearing right now, she was happy and sad at the same time, she was happy because she was finally getting to hear what she had been longing to hear for years but then he was married, she felt really bad that she's about sleep with a married man and she feels really bad about that.
But she wanted him right now and she was not holding back
" I want you to Mike I've wanted you for years," she said as she looked at him
Mike took that as permission pulled off her clothes completely and started to kiss her all over the body
"Are you comfortable?" he asked her and she nodded a yes
He pulled her underwear leaving her stark naked, Grace was shy in an instant as she had never been naked in front of a man
"you don't need to be shy, you are so beautiful," he said to her
"then why did you not look my way all these years if truly I'm beautiful" she asked him
"I don't know either, I guess because I saw you as a sister" he replied her
"What!" she said, she couldn't believe that he was saying that right now, all the high emotions that had just felt watered down on the spot
"you don't know that I had feelings for you? she asked him
Mike was confused at this moment, he had no idea what she was driving at anymore
"know what, you had feelings for me, what are you talking about Grace I have no idea what you are talking about right now," he said
Grace felt shattered, she thought he was getting intimate with her because he understood that she had feelings for him and that probably he felt the same way, but she was such a fool to believe such nonsense and crazy fantasy
"you know what just forget about it, I was and still am such a big fool," she said as she made her way down the table, tears were starting to form in her eyes but she made sure that she held them in place
She put her clothes back on and made her way outside, Mike just watched her in confusion he had no idea what to do at this point, she was saying things that he had no idea
They were having a good time and vibing just now
"Grace please listen to me, we can sort things out, I'm sorry if I said anything to hurt you, I'm sorry but you can't leave like this, I can't allow you to leave this place like this" he said, and grabbed her arm trying to pull her close and maybe cajole her.
But Grace slapped him instead, she couldn't believe that he was even pretending not to know what she was talking about, and that made her mad
"don't you ever talk to me again, I can't believe after you rejected me the way that you did, you still have the guts to pretend right in front of me," she said as the tears fell off her face, she could no longer hold it back
Mike was even more confused, what in the world is she talking about, he thought
"don't you ever speak to me again," she said and pulled the necklace off her neck; she threw it at him and made her way out of his office.
Immediately feet stepped outside his office, she walked as fast as she could but she felt like she needed to fly
She ran as fast as her legs could take her, she got to her car and went straight to the passenger's seat, she let all the tears out as she cried all of her heart out.
She can't believe that she fell for his tricks even at this moment, she can't allow him to keep trampling on her heart like that, she has tolerated that for years now
Grace cried until she didn't have the strength to do so anymore, she had promised to get coffee for her brother but how in the world would she go there with her face all swollen and red like this
But her phone and bag are all in the ward, she would have to wait till tomorrow to go back to the ward before heading home, thank God that she had asked Thelma to stay with the kids, she has nothing to worry about so much
She would sleep here till daybreak no one must see her like this and besides she would not want to run into Mike he might be looking for her
She mocked herself in her heart; why would a. man who doesn't even care about her feelings look for her? She would never stop being naive, would she? she thought to herself.
Mike took up his shirt and put it on, his face was still numb from the slap that he just received, he buttoned up his clothes and sat on his chair
He felt confused and awkward at the same time, he sat there trying to remember when and how he had rejected her, she never offered love to her, not even while she was always coming to the hospital
Or could it be that she used sign language and he didn't notice her, he must have been very oblivious to her and her feelings
He would need to speak with her; he didn't follow her because she was still very obviously very angry, and she would need time to herself.
But with everything he could not take away the scene of what just happened right now away from his head
It was like the best thing that had happened to him in a long while, and he was not willing to let it stop.
