Atem entered the kitchen to see Tea washing the last of the plates. She had on a blue mini skirt with a white strapless shirt that had to zip up from the back. On her feet was a black ankle high heel boot.
"You ready?" He asked.
"Not yet." She put away the last of the dishes. "I need to get my jacket first plus I am not in a rush since the couple that I have today pushed back the time to ten and it's only seven."
"That means I don't have to rush either. The museum is opening late today since Isis is having a meeting with the investors." Atem said. "I was going to drop you at the church and watch you work your magic for a while before going to work."
Tea turned around to face him. She looked to see Atem in a black pants and a white shirt with the Egyptian pyramids on it.
"We can watch TV in the meantime." Tea suggested. "Or do one of our favourite activities."
"Sure." He agreed. "I like the sound of that."
"Which one?" Tea wrapped her arms around his neck.
Atem began unzipping her shirt and tossed it to the side. "Tea, there is something I want to tell you." He said. "I have something special planned for us tonight."
"Okay. I have a surprise for you tonight also and I know it's something you will like.
The two stripped and made love on the kitchen table.
After Tea finished working Duke came by the church to have a talk with him.
Duke stopped the car at the pier.
"Duke, why are we at the pier?"
"Because I want to ask this at the most romantic place I could think of." He replied.
"The pier is the most romantic place you could think of?" Tea asked it a harsh tone.
"Yeah, it is."
"Okay then. There is something I want to tell you."
"Wait let me go first. Marry Me?" Duke said without any emotion.
"Marry You?" Tea said in surprise.
"Yes! Marry me." He replied in an annoyed tone.
"I'm sorry Duke but I can't marry you because my heart belongs to another."
"No one turns down the Duke you bitch. I knew you were in love with that bastard Atem and you played me like a dog on a leash. Now since I can't have you no one else can." Duke yelled. Tea ran out of the car only to be stopped by four armed men wearing a black suit surrounding her when she heard Duke yelled "Guards." One knocked her unconscious then carried her over to the warehouse near the pier.
"You did an excellent job translating all those documents today Atem." Isis, a tan skin woman with long black hair wearing a long cream colour dress reaching the floor said as they walked out of the building.
"Thanks Isis. I better hurry up and pick up Tea." Atem said sweetly as he thought about what he was going to tell her and hoped that she feels the same way.
"You two make such a lovely couple." Isis said calmly.
Atem blushed before saying, "We are not a couple. Not yet anyway." Atem said.
"Atem everyone at work knows you love her. We even have a pool to see when you two get married." Isis said while smiling.
"Seriously are my feelings that obvious? He asked softly.
"Yes you twit! Now hurry up and tell her how you feel soon or I will lose the bet. "
Atem fell anime style before saying, "How much is the pool?"
"Its five hundred dollars. Everyone thinks that you two will get married before you reach twenty five and I bet you will by the time you reach twenty two."
Atem chuckled as he got into his car and was about to drive off when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. "Aw!"
"Is something wrong Atem?" Isis asked, considered.
"Something is wrong with Tea I know it," Before Isis could ask a question Atem took out his phone and call her. "Damn went to voicemail. How am I going to find her?" Atem roared
"Atem darling! Your love has arrived." Kamala yelled as she ran towards the car.
"Kamala, I told you that we are through this morning." Atem yelled.
"Thought you were joking. Why? It's that Tea isn't it? She has always come between us, that bitch. Now she well never come between us again Atem bear."
When Kamala said that Atem knew she had something to Tea and quickly jumped out of the car and pinned her to the wall with a murderous look and said "Where is my Tea?"
"What makes you think I know where she is?" Kamala asked nervously.
"Because you said she will never come between us every again now tell me where she is and if I find out you have harm her in any way I swear you will regret the day you ever met me." Atem yelled.
Kamala saw the murderous look in his eyes and said, "She's at the pier with Duke in the first warehouse but you will never reach there in time because the place will have already exploded.
Atem quickly release her and rushed to his car speeding out of the parking lot and towards the pier thinking "My love please be alive by the time I get there. I can't image what I would do if you are not in my life."
