Capítulo 51: Do You Want To Eat... Me?

After Ann heard Jeff's message, she felt like a new person. Whenever they interacted with each other, she felt alive. They bonded so much just in the few weeks they had spent together. 'I think it's about time. When this is over, I will need to make a choice, but not until then.' Ann thought.

While Ann was in deep thought, she did not realize how her friend Lea was staring at her, confused.

While the car was moving towards her home, Ann was looking outside the window while passing through some beautiful scenery on the way home. She couldn't help but think...-

'Jeff had changed her life in so many ways, like her friend Lea, who had been there when she needed someone the most. Jeff also seems to be there whenever she needed someone since the day she met him four years ago.'

" Earth to Ann? " Lea said

"Huh! Did you say something? I'm sorry! I was in deep thought."

Lea glanced at her just a little then continued looking straight at the road. Then quietly asked, "Are you ready for tomorrow?" with concern on her voice.

"As ready as I can be, I guess!" Ann replied calmly.

"Hey! Ann, let me asks you something, and you can only answer me truthfully, ok!" Lea took a big breathe first then asked.

"Are you now in love with your Husband? If you are, what are your priorities? Love or career?" Lea asked Ann straightforward without hesitation.

"First, question, yes! I know now deep in my heart that I'm in love with my husband. Second question, priorities? Career over Love? That one is a little tough to answer because I want both. Is that asking too much?" She replied to her friend, worriedly.

Lea contemplated before she responded to Ann's question. As her friend, there was nothing she wants than her friend to have a happy love life... But, as her manager, she wants Ann to focus on her career and make sure to reach her goal and dreams. Therefore, "girl, whatever makes you happy. Then I'm satisfied with that." She then patted Ann's hand to give her support.

Back in the condominium, Jeff had prepared himself. He took a shower, ordered some food for dinner. A bottle of wine was chilling, and lastly, he called Ronald to take Lea out somewhere, get her a room for the night.

He wanted the night to be extraordinary for tomorrow will be a battle in Tan Corporation. Who knows what the outcome will be. However, one thing for sure, they will have the time of their life that evening.

Ann and Lea arrived at the condo's parking lot when Lea received a text message from Ronald.

[ Hey! beautiful, would you like to find out how well I can perform?]

Ronald had to think of something that would entice Lea to leave the couple for the evening. And the only thing he could think off... was to offer himself.

"Ann, you go ahead, I have a matter that needs my attention," Lea stated with a grin showing her teeth and eyes were shining brightly with the thought of meeting Ronald.

"Alright! If you must, so be it. Go! Don't forget tomorrow, ok! No matter what, be back on time for that."

Ann was worried about how she was going to get rid of Lea for the night. She knew Jeff would be staying, and she didn't want to be too apparent to her friend. 'What a coincidence that she now has to be somewhere else.?' Ann thought.

She quickly bid Lea goodbye before she changes her mind. No sooner than Lea left, she rushed towards the elevator and punched her floor number anxiously.

On the way up in the elevator, Ann's heart was beating fast. *Thump, thump, thump.* She put her hand by her chest and felt her heart. "Why are you beating so fast. You're acting like a teenager about to meet her crush; he's your husband for god's sake. You can walk on him butt naked, and it's still alright." She kept on telling herself, hoping it would help her calm down before he arrived home.

When Ann arrived at her condo, the light was dim; soft music was playing, the smell of fantastic food spread to her nostril.

"hmmm, What is this smell, it smells so good it's making me hungry." She thought to herself, not knowing she said it out loud.

"Hi! Honey, you are home. Are you hungry?"

"Hmmm, yup I'm famished!" Ann replied to Jeff, so sweetly, ready for action. (I mean to eat.)

"Well, the smell that you are talking about is me! DO YOU WANT TO EAT ME?"

Ann: '^-^.'
