2020-08-21 07:13:20When he closed at the office, he went home to have a nap. He was very tired but all he planned was a few minutes nap before he would eat and return Joyce's phone. He got to his large living room which has a few painting of his pictures on the walls. The colors of the curtains and chairs are the same which was chocolate brown against the cream colored walls.
He dropped his briefcase carelessly on the sofa, took off his suit, tie and shoes and let them assemble on the tiled floor as he walked to his room, almost with closed eyes. He fell softly on his bouncy bed and his planned nap turned into hours of sleep with Joyce's phone in his hand as he sprawled on the bed.
Joyce got to his living room burning with anger from what Vivian had told her. She didn't know where she got her address from but she had been there to confirm all her fears and doubts. She wasn't surprised at all. She could only get angry at the insults that followed the confirmation.
"James only see you as an opportunist and that's why he couldn't be together with someone like you," Vivian had told her and rolled her eyes.
Those words stabbed Joyce in her heart and it started bleeding she couldn't almost cry out loud but being the stubborn being she was, she couldn't just let Vivian's words, of all people, to hurt her. So, she laughed. She laughed really hard her lungs almost get out from her mouth.
Vivian couldn't figure what was funny in her words. She had expected her to be hurt and almost in tears but the reaction she got shocked her and she didn't hide the shock. It was all written all over her face.
Suddenly, Joyce stopped laughing and her face morphed into the angry form of a tiger. Her sudden hard expression scared Vivian. "You're shocked, bitch?" she asked in fury, clenching her fists together. "Let's just say you're right that I fucking love money but do you think he could stoop soooo low to taming a stupid and senseless toerag like you?"
The ground was already trying its best to push Vivian's jaw back to its place but to no avail. Shock was totally an understatement to what she was feeling. She didn't expect the reply she got from her.
" What!!!" she exclaimed with her mouth wide open.Joyce lifted a finger and pointed to different angles in front of her parents' house. "This neighborhood is unlike the estate you live in, so I can assure you that these flies won't hesitate to let you make them your lunch. They won't go near your body though because they are allergic to bleached and awful looking skin. They have taste too, y'know?" She mocked her two colored skin as she stared at her black and yellow fingers. Yellow was her best color but seeing her suddenly made her lose taste for it.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are, Joyce?" she paused and looked around with embarrassment as if she was looking for something. "Oh! I get you. You're annoyed because James chose me over y–," she was still saying.
"Shut up!" Immediately, Vivian kept quiet. "To hell with you and James,"she said in withal, giving her a middle finger and walked out on her, but not inside her house.
She found herself in her boss's house instead.She was going to get back her phone and then leave. She didn't care if he would sign the resignation letter or not. She had determined not to step foot into that company ever again. She couldn't bear seeing him with someone else or she would end up in a police station again.
She couldn't deny herself of the truth that she was in love with her boss but he was someone he couldn't get. He didn't love her. All that happened in his mother's house were all child's play. Those were drama. How could she have believed it was the beginning of something for them? There was nothing like that.
"James?" she called as she surveyed the room and when she noticed how his clothes assembled up the stairs, she suddenly became scared. What could have happened?
"Oh!" The only reason dawned on her. Vivian is here. She probably got here first because she took a car and parked it where I wouldn't see. They were in such a hurry that they couldn't wait to get into the room to start undressing, she thought.Deep inside, she was hurting. She was heartbroken. Really heartbroken. It was high time she let go of her feelings for her boss. What was the point of holding onto such feelings? Nothing.
Curiosity started brewing inside of her. She wanted to see for herself. As they say, seeing is believing,so she was going to follow his clothing and feed her eyes.
Slowly, she ascended the stairs with her heart pounding. She wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. Maybe she should just let them be but no, she wasn't going to do that. Anyone but Joyce.
She got to a door and her hands trembled as they got closer to the doorknob. Her fingers curled round the tiny knob and started pulling it downward. With a click, the door opened slightly. She closed her eyes for some seconds as she stretched her neck into the room.
"Whattt!!!" she exclaimed.

"How could you be so dumb to let yourself get injured? It doesn't seem to me like you love yourself at all. See how the innocent fingers are bleeding all because of your carelessness,"Joyce nagged as she treated her boss's wound, but refused to spare him a glance. She should just help with the injury, reveal the truth to his parents and leave his life for good.She had some savings from the salary she had earned. Maybe she would just set up her own hair salon. She had learnt the work even before she got admission into the university and she was quite good at it. In fact, very good.But, she had to admit that it would be so hard to forget her boss. She had thought it would be easy not until she saw him now. All the feelings she thought she had buried in her heart resurrected at his sight and even became stronger. She was still head over heels in love with her boss. And that's why she couldn't look him in the eyes now,afraid of what she woul
HIS DESIRE Chapter Twenty Five
Joyce got home and started pondering about everything. She should just try to forget everything about her boss and move on. After all, she had submitted her resignation letter. She didn't need to go to work anymore but what would she do now? There is only one option and that is to go out and look for job. Philip, who could have been her other option, was now out of the game,all thanks to her amazing boss.Something popped up in her mind and she was immediately filled with remorse. James's parents. She lied to them. She deceived them, made them believe she was together with their son. She touched the necklace that was given to her by his mother. She had to return that and reveal the truth. She could not bear keeping it from them, especially Mrs. Andrew. She was too nice, although somehow cunning.She made a mental note to visit the Andrews the following day.She exited her room and went to the living room and saw h

"Can you at least hear me out?" James pleaded in a calmer tone. He used a hand to rub his neck and paced a few times before taking Joyce's hand and took her to his living room.She couldn't say anything. All she found herself doing was looking at him go about before settling on the large table at the center of the room before her."Joyce, I really don't know how to explain this to you for you to be really convinced,"he started and met her eyes, but she didn't utter a word so he continued," Vivian and I are just friends. Nothing more. I don't know what she has planted into your head but they are all lies,"he said, and when she opened her mouth, probably to protest, he made her swallow her unspoken words by holding her hands.He must confess,he loved the feeling. "Joyce, I love you," he revealed and watched as her gaze shifted from their hands to his face and he nodded in confirmation that he meant what he said. "I really do

James lifted her chin with his right index finger and made her to look at him while he stared at the luscious twins beneath her nose that were trembling, possibly out of fear.He smiled. "I'll recognize those lips anywhere,"he mentioned and her jaw dropped." But, I'll have to confirm, "his voice came out as a whisper now.Joyce's mouth opened and close more than usual. It seemed she suddenly forget how to talk. She couldn't make words out of her mouth. What was he trying to do? What did he mean by confirming? She was curious.James leaned his head downward slowly with his finger still under her chin. He raised his eyelids to see that she almost had her eyes closed and also leaning toward him, although with hesitation, as if she was unsure about it.Gently, but seductively, his lips touched hers but moved away too quickly. He started acting sluggishly when she suddenly seemed impatient to be connected with
HIS DESIRE Chapter Twenty two
Joyce opened the metal door widely and rushed in. She looked at her boss on his king sized bed and thought he was unconscious. With fear, she climbed the bed and started calling his name. She was beginning to sweat in her palms but as she lifted one of his hands in hers, he made a turn around and rested his bonce on her thighs.She hissed aloud. "Gosh, I thought he's dead. I've forgotten he sleeps like one," she complained to her relief and then pushed him gently to awake him. "James?"No response."Hey, James," she shouted but he could only snuggled closer and circled a hand around her waist. Her mouth formed an 'o' as she exclaimed, "You've got some guts, haven't you?" She uttered as her eyes drifted to where her phone was on the far edge of the bed. She would have to stretch all her body to reach it.James turned with his chest facing up. He was still fast asleep or so she thought.
