Am sorry

Patrica sighed watching her friend, "He been away for days and now he suddenly appears, that's not fair "

"Do you know he was there last night ?"

Tatiana turned, "What? you said it was you who took me home "

"Yes I did, but he arrived before we got inside "

"Ahh..so he saw me drunk last night "

Patricia nodded, "And you said something to him ...then started crying like a baby "

Tatiana cringed, "What?...and you let me do that "

"What was I supposed to do, you just started crying "

"And then what happened ?".

"He kissed you and I think you kissed him back, I kept stealing glances as you both did it ".

Tatiana fell silent

"Bestie ..are you okay ?".

"Then what happened next "

"Then he took you inside and I left soon after. He called me today morning saying not to tell you anything " she said.

Tatiana glared up at her, "What did I exactly say ?".

"Well, you said a lot but kept repeating how you missed him " she giggled.

"Don't laugh am angry at you but I will deal with you later. So tell me exactly what I said "

...

Jack walked inside the office and looked around but could not see her face. Turning to his uncle, "I don't see her anywhere" he said.

"Maybe she left for some work " he called one of the employees, "led the way to Miss Kennel's desk "

They were led through the glances of others until they reached her desk.

He smiled seeing a picture of her mother with Tatiana on her desk.

"There she is " his uncle tapped his shoulder.

Jack looked up to see her moving towards them. His smile widened as he walked forgetting his uncle.

"Tati " he called.

Silence filled the office as he stood in front of her, she looked up at him with angry eyes.

"Why didn't you stay last night ?" she asked.

He sighed passing her the flowers, she didn't take them but asked again.

"I thought you didn't want to see me," he said.

"After hearing me say all those words and kissing me you still decided not to tell me your back ".

He could see tears form in her eyes, he moved closer holding her hand.

"Am sorry Tati, I didn't know it would hurt you like this "

"Do you know how hard it was to hold it in all those days as my mind went crazy missing you? And the worst part of it all was that I had no right to even think like that 'cause we are nothing but strangers " she was crying now.

Patricia who was watching sighed, "Ahh bestie you failed to hold it in again, don't cry right now or he might kiss you again which will be bad for you " she murmured looking around all the faces and staring at the two.

His hand slowly moved to her face, wiping away a tear, he bent down to her face, "Am so sorry Tati, I didn't mean to hurt or make you cry " he said hugging her.

She hid her face inside his chest crying, "you should have called or sent a text ".

"I was busy but. I promise to do that next time am away " he said.

"You better " she sniffed and looked up

"Am I forgiven them ?" he asked cleaning her face of the tears.

"Let me think about it," she said.

"It's okay I can wait " he smiled.

She looked away smiling, but instantly her smile froze as she noticed the glances of her coworkers including her boss. She pulled away from Jack's embrace.

"These are for you," he said.

She took the flowers, "thank you, but can you leave now. I need to go back to work " glanced at her boss

He chuckled, "Dont mind my Uncle, he said it was okay "

"Uncle !?"

He nodded.
