"I love her".

"I'm almost there " Camilla was talking to Chris on the phone. She was meeting up with her mother to try on some wedding dresses.

Ray who ditched his meetings to join her was smiling next to her.

"Don't worry Ray is with me and mom will be there too " Camilla said.

She turned to Ray hanging up.

"It's not showing yet but he so protective, " Ray said.

"It got worse after he found out about the pregnancy" Camilla giggled.

They arrived at the shop and got off.

Chris wasn't attentive during the meeting he was having. He wanted to go with Camilla but had two important meetings that day.

Ray had promised to look out for any trouble, especially the handsome men. Alfred had been on top of his list but he seemed to be busy nowadays.

Raymond had laughed at his scowled face when he talked about Alfred.

"He was of great help through those times. Camilla was lost and hurt after the accident. But Alfred had brought back the happy girl we all loved after a while " Ray had said.

"But he's too close to her, I hate it " Chris added.

"You should cause him a good-looking man and they have a lot of chemistry between them. I was jealous too when he first appeared but with time I learned to accept it cause Camilla told me he was only a friend " Ray frowned.

"And why we're you jealous?" Chris asked.

"Cause I assumed she would replace me with him as her best friend " he laughed.

Chris had frowned and chased him out of his office.

But now he thought about it, what if Alfred replaced him as her fiancee, his head hurt even just thinking about it.

A text came in, it was Ray.

("RED ALERT!... Alfred is here, I repeat, Alfred IS HERE" ). he read the text.

"Shit, that sneaky bastard " he sprung up, and the whole room fell silent.

He noticed the glances and frowned, "I need to leave now, postponed the rest of the meetings for tomorrow " he said.

"And what is more important than this client?" one of his directors asked.

Chris paused at the door, "My wife and child " he said.

"I think she has other people around to take care of her while you finish this project " he persisted.

Chris walked back and smirked.

"I would not expect a sixty-year-old bachelor like you to understand what am saying," he said.

"And what would that be, waking up every morning to be a slave to a woman. I don't think that's something I would boast about "

Chris chuckled, "I don't care if am her slave and actually would love to if she allowed it. But you can't understand that cause you don't even know what love is".

" And I guess you do?" the other asked.

Chris nodded, "Love is being happy by the mere fact that she wakes up every day with a smile because of you. Runs to you for kisses and hugs whenever you come back home from work and lays in your arms every night in the same bed "

Chris smiled thinking about Camilla's sweet morning face.

"I stay awake every night nowadays cause she's pregnant and has weird cravings so I have to get every thing she craves"

The room was silent as they all listened not even trying to interrupt him.

"And amazingly I don't even complain or feel bad cause I love her, he laughed, And cause she feels bad about it Camilla wakes up early the next day to make me breakfast as an apology and gives me a massage when I get home "

His phone vibrated, it was another text from Ray. He looked at his phone and then turned back to them.

"I don't want her to move around so much cause she's pregnant so I restricted her movements, but she would be here every day bringing me meals cause she knows I don't eat much during the day, and when I don't eat I get an earful when I get home "

Chris got up, "So tell me who is the slave among us both, her or me. Well to me, I guess it's me cause I only listen to her"

He sighed, "Anyway I think I said too much about my personal life just to deliver a point, which to me is summed up to three words, I LOVE HER and am not ashamed to say it".

He picked up his phone and motioned his assistant to follow.

" Am the boss around here so the meeting is postponed till tomorrow. I Am off then ".

Chris walked off without looking back and the whole room breathed.

" Anyone wants a piece of the video?" one of the staff said.

The directors walked off in silence while the others flocked around the other to get a copy of the video.

"Boss, " Jack called

"What?" Chris frowned.

"Director Andrew is just clocking to thirty years," he said.

Chris chuckled, "It's not my fault that he looks sixty "

Jack snickered, "And he a widower, his wife died in an accident last year. You even attended the funeral "

Chris looked up, "Really, I don't remember. well that's too bad but it still makes him a widower "

Jack sighed and started the car.
