Timmy was dazed by Naledi's act and he pushed her away and stood up.
" Naledi what the fuck are you doing...what was that? I told you I have moved on and you still had the courage to kiss me !" He exclaimed as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
However Naledi wasn't bothered by her act. She had just accepted that she still had feelings for Timmy.
She stood up and walked right to him at the corner of the room. " I'm sorry...but I don't regret a thing cauz I still somehow have your name in my good books."
"Please stop it. Don't make working on this project difficult for both of us. We both know the worth of this project and I don't want to disappoint Mr Marshall. He is already battling a heart attack."
"Okay..I get it___" the door cut her short as someone entered without knocking. Both of them were startled.
They turned to look and saw Nicky.
Timmy slowly scotted away from Naledi's field.
" Oh...my god. I'm sorry for not knocking. I'm used to this being Tim's office." She laughed.
"What is so funny that you are laughing?" Naledi asked. She instilled a serious face and moved towards her "Get used to the new adjustments and stop budging in uninvited intern."
"Well I ___" Timmy interrupting her say.
" Ms Sebina is right...you should never do that again. This is your senior office. Please stop calling me casually at work. It's Sir or Director."
"Why did you come here"
Naledi could not believe her ears. Timmy never had a problem with being called Tim at work or just anything. Tears filled her eyes but she returned them back to the source.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'll be spending a week at your place, we have a lot of visitors at home"
"Well we'll discuss the matter outside work..."
Nicky matched out and slammed the door. At long last they could breathe.
"Are you fuckin kidding me. Didn't you see that...what if Nicky caught us."
" Relax...she didn't__ your girl is so pretty, I get why you call her barbie. she's indeed a Barbie doll."
" Still sarcastic as ever...you can never change."

At Diamond Mall in a café.
"Latifah I don't think I should stay here..." Naledi sipped her smoothie.
" Because of your ex?..Naledi this is big money forget about your problems and shine...he has moved on with that intern so do you."
" Well I don't know..maybe I still love him maybe I don't.. I just___dont no"
"Look...it's normal for the feelings to be there but just live with it, "
" Red flag ! Nicky is coming over, she's gonna stay for a week..it's like now Timmy is cheating on me indirectly."
" Naledi stop exaggerating...just act oblivious...maybe you'll also find a hotjog." Latifah scrawled her phone. " Speaking of a hot jog... I can't wait for the acting CEO to come back..he's so hot"
Naledi laughed and sipped her laté. She remembered her silly affair with Ellon. Somehow his memories calmed her mind.
" Why are you laughing. It's not like I know him, he's just my new found crush." Latifah retorted with a sigh.
" Ok cousin...he's crushed by many"
" Naledi...you know what I'm keen about is his abs, his presence" Latifah moved closer to her and whisphered. "His drive"
Naledi laughed and glared at her. " Hot as hell,master of his art" she muttered. " Anyway. Let me go to our joint house, the worst part Timmy cooks."
" Let's go girl.." Latifah took her hand bag and followed behind Naledi.
****
Naledi packed her car and saw Nicky in the kitchen through the window. She was wearing her usual home shorts and crop top. She was cute as hell.
" Fuck!..she's a nice girl but I'm just___" she got off and walked in. She went to her room and took along shower.
She video called her best friend Joanne, giving her the bad news. She couldn't hold in her exclaims.
" Naledi....don't fall for that jerk again.. remember Ellon, there is no better man than Ellon for you, I mean he cooks" she gave her the 'believe me starre'
" But he cooks too and right now he's teaching his girlfriend how to cook some savoury whatever....the bottom line is I think I still love him"
"Girl are you delusional...Timmy.. cook!" She laughed sarcastically " let me see then" Joanne insisted
Naledi walked out of her room to the kitchen. From the living room she could see Timmy kissing Nicky by the Kitchen counter. She turned the phone them for Joanne to see. Timmy and Nicky never saw her come in.
"Gosh I didn't sign up for this ..." She muttered. She poured in a glass some milk and turned to the kissing couple.
."can you guys get a room...you can't just act as if you are only two in this house."
Joanne laughed " hello Timmy, Ex friend." She screamed.
Timmy said sorry to Naledi and moved to the call. "Joanne...how are you? Meet my girlfriend Nicky."
"Hi " Nicky waved at her.
"Enough talking Joanne..." Naledi went to her room.
"Damm girl I think you are right..he's stunning. I take what I've said back except stuff about Ellon. He's a demi god"
"Do you see the torture I'm living under... how am suppose to act.. before I had all the rights but now I'm a stranger.. "
" Don't worry girl..Ellon will be back and you won't have to suffer through the romance of those two."
" Yeah....whatever and even bigger shock, Latifah works here "
"Wow! I guess you are in safe hands, Latifah is like my twin because we are both open minded and we give you better advices."
Naledi chuckled " stop ! I'll dm u later ..for now I have to eat.." just when she drops the call there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" She hollowed.
Nicky came in the room. Naledi was shocked.she couldn't align any scenario that could force Nicky to come to her room.
"Nicky?" She slowly said.
"Yeah sorry about earlier..I was kind of extra. I just want to have a good relationship with you as my senior director and also my boyfriend's Ex wife."
Naledi was dazed for a sec. She couldn't believe her ears. " Well... what you did was not wrong , you were used to popping in his office but suddenly I came and now it's awkward. I'm sorry too for being rude,"
" Well Timmy has served dinner."
"It's funny he cooks. He used to be different...I'm really proud of this new form of him." Naledi said and stood up, hedding to the dinning table.
" Wow!..nice, Timmy you are a star." Naledi sat down.
"Well suite your self..." Timmy laughed as he dished for the two ladies. Naledi starred at his jawline and her mouth hanged open. She was amused. She swallowed and knotted her fists under the table.
"...he's good. He's serving me, maybe this is what we needed," she thought.
" Get it together Naledi.. Nicky seems like a good girl."
****
On the weekend Naledi visited some gym to try shake off the trauma of Timmy and his girlfriend.
She got on the treadmill and began her workouts. She somehow missed her step and she fell off.
Just as she expected to land on the floor. She felt hands catch her from behind. She bent herself a little to see her saviour.
Her eyes met an alluring face, he was starring at her innocently and he raised her up.
" Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah...." She said still dazed. " Is this a joke ..another hot guy...I'm done for..." She said in her mind grinning to him.
He was about to leave when Naledi stopped him. " I'm Naledi you are?"
" I'm kabelo.." he lied and left, he was still battling his break up."
Naledi stood there still gasping,that man really caught her eye. " Who is he?"
