All Chapters of Falling In Love Is Not Easy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Although Megan tried again and again to keep in mind that David's interest in her was purely professional, she wished for Monday over the next few days.Absently she did her usual work, got Lisa's birthday presents and prepared everything for the celebration, while her thoughts kept wandering back to David.On Saturday afternoon she sat with Julie over a cup of coffee in the living room, while Brad made himself useful for once and took care of Lisa and her birthday guests who were romping around in Lisa's room."Megan?"She jumped in shock."What?""I just asked you if we want to go shopping again next week," said Julie with a smile. "Where on earth are you with your thoughts?""I ... excuse me," Megan said. "I was just thinking that I'll be glad when the rascals disappeared afterwards."Julie shook her head reproachfully. “Honey, you know you can't be fooling me. The way you were looking, you definitely didn't think of it. "Whe

Megan didn't see or hear from David for a few days, and she wondered if he was too busy or if the fact that she was just as married as he had put him off. Actually, she should have been glad that the whole story had apparently fizzled out, or at least that's what her mind told her. But deep down she missed him and wished he would at least get in touch with her as promised.When he suddenly stood in front of her desk, completely unexpectedly, her heart pounded to the throat."Hello Mrs. Turner," he greeted her, and she uttered a soft "hello," too.He put the draft of her form on the table."I kept working on it a bit, but I have to admit that I can't really make any progress without you."Megan glanced briefly at the sheet of paper and then at David, but he avoided her gaze, apparently staring very intently at the paper and at her it was immediately clear that he had not been telling the truth.Her heartbeat, which was already racing, doubled immed

Two excruciating weeks passed and, as expected, David neither showed up nor answered. Any minute Megan expected to be called to the boss and given her notice, but nothing like that happened.She clenched her work convulsively, numbing herself by toiling continuously without any pause; She wasn't hungry anyway, nor did she want to talk to the others.She was getting thinner and paler and more and more nervous. Every time the door opened or the phone rang, she winced, wavering between hoping it would be David and fear that she would be thrown out on the street.Then she was on vacation, and for the first time in a long time she was happy to be home.But this feeling didn't last long either; Brad didn't leave her alone, constantly trying to cuddle or drag her to bed, and reproach her when she refused.During the day she went on trips with Lisa to avoid Brad's advances, and at night she crept in Lisa's bed, crying, thinking of David.She felt like a w

Contrary to expectations, the work for David turned out to be pleasant and without any incidents, so that Megan gradually calmed down and was able to concentrate completely on the essentials.David was still very aloof and reserved, and she was glad of that. Most of the time she hardly saw him, only when he gave her new duties, she brought him the mail, or went over the things she did with him, they saw each other, and these meetings were businesslike and professional.Despite her initial fears that she might not be able to cope with the demands, she coped well with her new tasks; she had gotten to grips with everything quickly, and it seemed like David was satisfied with her job.Slowly she began to feel good and enjoyed working in her new, comfortable office.But the more relaxed the situation at work became, the more stressful her private life became.When she was very busy, she often took work home with her so that she no longer had to stay at the c
