Well The Cats Out The Bag...

*****Eric's POV*****

I entered the Bobbo with Veronica and we made our way towards the 'lovely' small table in the corner of the restaurant.

"So shall we talk business?" I asked once we both were seated.

"Oh please, you kill joy. Business can wait, I would love to talk with you old friend." she said, "So I heard you have a wife."

"Yes I do. She went out today with one of her friends, otherwise I would have brought her with me." I told her.

"Don't you think that's a bit awkward. Your wife meeting a woman whom you loved epically" she said.

"That's all in the past, Veronica."

She went of dragging me down memory lane, going on and on about 'the good' old days, through supper.

"Do you remember how you declared your love for me in front of everyone on graduation day," she said leaning closer towards me but a familiar dark brown hair lady eating a chocolate dessert, had all my attention yet she went on, " How you grabbed me in your arms outside after the function and kissed me dizzy around random strangers. "

Before I knew it, her lip where on mine but it took me a second to register what was happening. Though before I could do anything my eyes connected with very beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

Violet...

I noticed a tear slide down her right cheek as she stood up and left. I pushed Veronica off me and ran after the woman I hurt whilst guilt weighed me down.

*****Violet's POV*****

I felt tears well up in my eyes as I rushed out the restaurant. He doesn't love me. He doesn't care. I felt a great pain in my chest as my heart slowly shattered bit by bit.

"Violet!", A familiar voice yelled out to me, but I continued walking away until he pulled my wrist whilst turning me around which caused me to collide into his chest.

"Let me go! Now." I yelled while hitting him with my hands in the most girly way known to mankind.

He tightened his arms around my waist so I could not get out," Would you please just listen."

"Save your breath. I have try so hard to be mad at you but every bit of effort was futile cause the truth is I understand. I can't be angry at you because you don't love me or better yet even like me. When we first met you told me that outside the walls of your mansion we are a married couple but inside we are just strangers. Even that being said, I let myself get tangled into all of this. With all the time that I sent with you, I began to fell something you don't. " By now the tears rained down my cheeks. I battled to say the last sentence in fear that it would finally be my reality and I would be forced to completely accept it, yet with all the strength I had I let my heart shatter to pieces, "It just unrequited love and I understand, I really do." I said wiping away my never-ending tears with my sleeves. But I never looked up into his eyes cause I knew I would break completely and be unrepairable.

"Violet, that's just it." He said pulling my chin up, forcing me to meet his eyes, but the emotions I saw in his eyes left me utterly confused, "You don't understand. What I wanted to tell you was that Veronica came on to me because I was too busy watching a dark brown hair lady with chocolate brown eyes eat a slice of chocolate cake, instead of paying attention to what was actually happening," he said looking down at me with intense eyes, "Yes, at a certain point in my life I was infatuated with her and I had mistaken it for love but the truth is I love you."

At that very moment the air was sucked out my lungs leaving me breathless and speechless, as I stared at him with awe, " I love you Violet, now and forever. "

"Really?" I asked whilst sniffing.

"With all my heart." he said as he drew me in closer whilst tightened his arms that encircled my waist, with both the palms of my hands gently resting on his chest. He began to lean forward closing the distance, his lips were gently placed on mine. My nose was invaded with the musk sent of his cologne which weakened my knees as the sparks flew. My heart began crashing against my chest as it beated rapidly, before I knew it I was now kissing the man whom I loved unconditionally back. An unexplainable feeling of pure bliss wash over me as I moved to the rhythm of his lips and in the process I wholeheartedly gave him my heart, body, mind and soul. For now I knew that he is my cure, my life and my world.

We pulled away breathless from our passionate kiss, he leaned his forehead against mine as we silently stood in the night sky under the dancing stars.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

We got home and cuddled on the sofa whilst watching Just Go With It, on Netflix, "I want to ask you something?" asked Eric as he placed a kiss on my neck.

"Go ahead."

"Will you go out on a proper date with me?" he asked causing me to turn around in his arms and gaze into his eyes with my arms encircled around his neck.

"Of course I will. " with a smile and placed a soft gentle kiss on his lips.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The next day in the cafeteria at work I sat with Sophie, Camilla, Ethan and Hunter who managed to sneak away from his desk and in here. We all sat down as I told them every detail of last night.

"Honestly I find it hilarious that you agree do be his girlfriend." said Hunt laughing hysterically.

"Well I find the kiss under the stars very romantic." said Camila

"Plus the fact that you both finally confesses." added Sophie.

"It was, wasn't it. " I said with a goofy smile on my face.

In the midst of our conversation, David one of Zack's friends shouted out a question directed to me," What's it like screwing the boss?!"

"David just stop this shit. There is no need for your nonsense, it was just a misunderstanding." said Zack trying to reason with David. Zack looked towards me as I gave him an apologetic look and he nodded with apologetic eyes as well, but David didn't listen to reason, he continued like an angel of chaos with all his disruptions, "How does if feel to sleep with a married man, whore." his tormenting words oozed out his disgusting mouth.

"Listen guy. I would stop if I were you, you know before I put you 6 feet under." said Hunt intimidatingly. Even though Hunt is a childish man, when he wants to, he could scare a guy with just a look when he is angry which is rare, but he is nothing compared to Eric, who is like 100 times more terrify when he wants to be.

"Hey man. No need for threats, I am just trying to have a harmless conversation." said David

"Ya well don't." said Hunter making David sit down in his chair.

"You okay Vi?" asked Hunter as he took a seat.

" I guess so. Thanks Hunt ." I said.

We continued with our conversation as Camila and Ethan debated whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better, but my eyes widened in shock as I saw Eric standing behind my friends.

Oh, God. Now I am hallucinating.

I am going crazy. I shut my eyes closed tightly before opening them again yet there he was standing before me in a Greek God like stance, but now he was frowning at my reaction. Oh, God no he is real but why? He never set a foot down here.

Sophie noticed the weird look on my face as she turned around, "Oh shit. Uhmm, I mean hello, sir wat are you doing here?" she asked shocked just as much as I was.

"Sophie, this is an informal visit, so no need for formalities."

Did he just call her Sophie?

I notice with the look on his face and I saw how his jaw was tightened, I knew he heard every word of David's, "I just came to speak to Violet," he continued gaining everyone's attention, "My wife." he emphasized leaving everyone in a state of shock and he grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
