Intimacy

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

Rosanna’s POV

The door of the car opened and Tara got in.

“Hey” she called and touched me.

“Why are you crying now? You’ll ruin your makeup, remember you still need to go for the interview” she reminded.

“I know but why does he have to show up? Why did he show his self to me? I hate him.”

“Come on Ros, you and I know you don’t hate him. You’ve liked him ever since he approached you, maybe you should just forgive him since he is really trying to get to you. Take a look at this, what is this card for?” She said and took up the card then opened it.

“Huh, his daughter’s birthday card? He is inviting you to it, are you gonna attend?” She inquired staring into the card.

I collected the card from her and read through it

“I’m not gonna attend” I replied and threw it aside and she sighed.

“You are killing yourself gradually this way. You hate what you’re doing but you’re still doing it, if you forgive him it’ll be much more better for you to move on. Let’s go, you don’t listen to me anyways.”

Days later.

Two days to Ria’s birthday.

Mike’s POV

I sat beside Charlie at the bar. He was with a glass filled with drink but he wasn’t drinking it. He was rather in deep thoughts.

I sipped from my own glass and continued staring at him. He was lost in thought – out of the world.

I wonder what he is thinking tho it’s obvious that it might be about Ros.

This days, he has been stuck up her.

The rumours about the video and all has managed to die down. Everything was returning back to normal, the news about his daughter’s birthday is the one circulating the net.

But I no he hasn’t been himself tho I expected him to at least cheer up for his daughter.

“Dad! Dad!! Where are you?” Ria’s voice echoed all over the house.

“He is over here Ria” I replied her and she ran to him.

He dropped the glass with him and carried her.

“What is it sweetheart?” He asked smiling, a fake smile.

“Dad, my friends are asking me if my mom will also show up for my birthday, what should I tell them?” She asked.

“Your friends? When did you start having friends?” Charlie asked back..

“You should no that they are my classmates actually, what should I tell them?” She pouted.

He took his eyes to look at me and I shrugged my shoulder, meaning that he shouldn’t look at me. It’s not as if I have a solution to that…but wait, don’t I have?

“Well, she will, you’ll see her” he replied her and she hollered.

“Wow! Thanks Dad” she said and kissed his cheek before coming down from his body.

” I have a lot of things to do, I’ll get going” she smiled and ran out from the bar.

He sighed, took up his cup and sipped from it.

“Are you sure she is gonna come? You told me your last encounter with her wasn’t encouraging, didn’t you?” I asked.

“I can’t keep Ria waiting, I might as well find someone else, you can do that for me in case she doesn’t. She hates me, I am unsure about her attending” he replied grumpily and stood up, then he left the bar.

I dropped the drink immediately and got up, I need to see her.
