^^VEE’S SUPER MARKET>>NEXT DAY
“What nonsense! You should have invited me over,let’s join hands and beat the living hell out of that insane woman”Gloria shouted angrily.
She has seen Victoria’s bruised face that Janice beat the other day.
Even though the injuries are healed,the scars are still there and that’s what Gloria is talking about.
“It’s no problem,my dear friend,I got this. She’s so paying for what she did to me. Don’t just worry yourself”Victoria smiled wickedly.
“Are you sure about this,Vee? That woman needs to be taught a lesson.
“She should stop acting like she’s the first wonan whose husband married another wife,what rubbish”Gloria spat,and Victoria laughed.
“I already told you that I got this,friend. All this $h|t will end soon”Victoria spitefully said.
“Sure?” Gloria asked,raising a brow.
“Trust me when I say I got this” Victoria smirked.
“With the smirk on your lips,what are you planning,baddie?” Gloria asked,lauging.
“Something sweet and unforgettable. Nobody messes with me and go unpunished”She replied,and Gloria hummed.
^^KLEIN’S WINERY COMPANY>>DEXTER’S OFFICE>3PM
Dexter started rolling eyes at Derek like a night owl,when he saw him walking into his Office.
He was going through the stock files and record books Ryan brought to him,earlier today.
“Get your f-__-king a*s out of my Office,you jerk!” Dexter snapped immediately,and Derek sighed,sadly.
He’s been begging Dexter and Dalton since they came to work,but neither of them wants to listen to him.
Dalton was actually with Dexter in his Office already,and they were talking about him before he came.
“Dude…I’ve already said sorry countless times. Please,I feel really bad already for what I did,and you both are worsening everything by pushing me away” Derek said with his head down in a sad mood.
“For how long were you going to date her without telling us,if Annika hadn’t caught you?
“It’s bad,dude. Very bad and unfair” Dalton eyed him.
“I’m sorry,buddies. Believe me,it wasn’t intentional.
“I’m sorry” Derek said with his head put down in a sad mood.
Dalton hissed,and turned to look at Dexter who wasn’t saying anything.
“Dexter,what should we do with this jerk?” He asked Dexter,but he gave him no answer. It’s as though he isn’t the one Dalton is talking to.
He was just focused on what he was doing,not even taking his eyes off it.
“Dude…!” Dalton shot,and he looked up this time.
“Nothing,he should just get out of my Office” Dexter replied coldly,with no ounce of emotion.
“Danm it!” Derek sighed and roughened his hair.
One thing he and Dalton,in fact,everyone h@ťěs to get on,is his angry side.
It’s always so hard to placate.
“C’mon,man. He’s sorry and he feels bad. Look at him,looking like a chiken that was beaten by the rain”Dalton jibed,looking at Derek funnily.
“Yea,right? Perhabs,you also are dating Sana secretly,who knows”Dexter rolled eyes,going back to what he was doing.
“Seriously,man? How can you say such a thing?” Dalton asked,hissing,and Dexter scoffed.
They were still on that,when a soft knock came on the door.
“Come in” Dexter said.
A big smile shone brightly on Dexter’s face when he caught sight of who just showed her face.
It’s Annika,his Cupcake!
“Hey,Dalton,and the other one that is secretive” Annika eyed Derek who kept mute.
“How are you,baby?” Dexter asked,getting up to hug her.
“I’m okay,Boo Bear. How are you?” Annika asked back,and Dexter replied warmly.
“Okay,so I brought the files for sighning” Annika said,dropping them on his desk.
“Thank you,baby” Dexter smiled and gave her a peck.
Annika looked at the three of them and knew something was going on.
If everything was okay,they wouldn’t be so quiet.
“What’s going….why are you three acting differently?” She shrugged.
“Your Boo Bear has refused to talk to Derek because what happened yesterday” Dalton told her,and she frowned a little.
She then turned to face Dexter who looked away immediately.
“Dex…?” She called,holding Dexter’s and turning it to face her.
The anger in him got chased away instantly,when their eyes met,and he calmed a bit even when she has not said anything yet.
Her presence alone made him to stop getting mad at Derek.
“It wasn’t his fault,believe me. Mina begged him not to tell us just yet” Annika said,and he furrowed.
“Seriously?” Both Dexter and Dalton asked.
“Yes,buddies. That’s what I was trying to tell you” Derek quickly said,and…
“Shut up!” Dexter and Dalton shot,and he kept quiet instantly.
“Yea,so stop being hard on him,please” Annika pouted.
“Alright,alright,fine!” Dexter scoffed and Derek jumped on him like a crazy person,hugging him manly.
“Thank,man and thanks,Dexter’s Cupcake” Derek said. Annika giggled and nodded.
They talked for some time before they(Dalton and Derek) went back to their Office.
Dexter came out of his small space,and grabbed her,pinning her to the nearest wall. Without invitation,he started kissing her like he hasn’t seen her in days.
Annika responded without wasting time.
The slow and romantic kiss went from slow to crazy and wild.
Dexter nibbled on her lower lip,making her to gasp. With that action of his,Annika slightly opened her mouth.
Dexter quickly slid in his tongue,th-ru_sting in and out of her mouth sweetly.
His hand started moving around gently.
And like he said the other day they confessed their love to each other.
~I can’t kiss my woman without doing this ~
His hand trailed,till it got to her left B-__-b,where he placed his hand on,rubbing that area sweetly. After which he gave a light squeeze,sending Annika an electric shock.
“Dex…!” She called sharply, and Dexter pulled away slowly.
As they pulled away,they kept staring at each other without saying anything,just breathing heavily.
“Okay….what’s with the breathless kiss?” Annika spoke first, and he chuckled.
“I missed you too much, that’s why” He replied simply.
Annika giggled and held his face, she started rubbing his beardless chin in the process.
“I missed you too,baby. Crazily!” Annika added and they both laughed.
“Do you remember anything you said last night?” Dexter asked,poking her nose which made her giggle.
“No,did I say anything?” She asked, pretending not to have any idea.
“You said a lot of crazy things, Cupcake…crazy,funny and tempting things” Dexter chuckled and she laughed.
“Tempting like….?” She asked,giggling, knowing what she did.
It was hard for him,but he overcame it and she’s so happy with him.
“You don’t want to know,baby. It was hard for me,but….I have something to show you once we close from work…a surprise” He added,changing the topic immediately.
“Misgosh! I can’t wait to see it” Annika gushed and he smiled.
^^WRIGHT’S RESIDENCE>>EVENING
Gloria headed for the door immediately the doorbell rang.
She’s home alone,since Justin isn’t back from work yet.
The door made a creaking sound as she opens it slowly. The person who came into view,shocked the life out of her.
It’s Roland!!
“Rolan…Roland?” She stuttered,still shocked to see him.
Did his mom send him here or what? Roland has never visited her before.
Yes,she and his mom are best friends…. But why the surprise visit.
They didn’t even talk about him today,when she went to his mom’s supermarket.
“Hi!” He abruptly said,plonking himself down on the couch.
“You’re my mom’s best friend,right?” He started, and Gloria answered, smiling. Though wondering why he’s asking that.
“And she tells you everything?” He asked again, and she nodded.
“Humph! Good,now tell me every d@mn thing she has told you.
“Do not lie to me,else, I won’t hesitate to slit your throat with this penknife” Roland said. He got up and smirked, pointing the knife directly on her throat.
“Speak!!” His harsh voice echoed.
^^CENTRAL TERRACE>>MELROSE AVENUE>>7PM
“We are here” Dexter announced,joyfully immediately he halted the car.
He got out,went to Annika’s side a d opened the door for her.
“Thanks, Boo Bear” She said,giving him a peck.
Dexter smiled and held her hand,as they started walking into the big building.
“Wow…!” Is this place really in Melrose and I haven’t seen it before” Annika gushed, giggling happily.
“You started living here not too long,so….
“C’mon,let’s get in” Dexter said,and jacked her up in bridal style.
“Put me down,you jerk!” Annika giggled,trying to wiggle her way out,but Dexter is too strong for her strength. He kissed her instead, as he kept carrying and going in with her.
“Oh…mi…gosh! Am I finally in heaven?” She asked.
“Probably” Dexter chuckled, and she giggled.
“Wait,this is a boutique, Boo Bear.
Who the hell owns this place? Whoever owns this places is bastardly rich!” Annika screamed, and Dexter shut her up with another kiss.
“Stop doing that,pervert!” She shot at him,slapping him playfully, and he laughed and kissed her again.
“Jerk!” She muttered, but Dexter heard her,so he chuckled.
“The love of my life owns it” He finally replied, smirking.
“Wait, what?” Annika asked, and got down immediately like someone pulled her out of his arms.
“What did you say? You…Dex….? Who is the love of your life?” She asked, pouting.
“She’s standing right in front of me,asking me that” Dexter replied.
“Huh..?” She asked,twisting her mouth to her corner.
“Yes,baby. The boutique is yours” Dexter said,and…
“OH..MI…GOSH!!!!!!!!!
