Alesha donned her favorite outfit for work that Monday morning. She did her hair the way she liked it best, and ate her favorite breakfast.
Today was going to be a new start, no more pining, she thought to herself. She ignored her aching heart, ignored its yearning to see Matt Devlin's face. and she carried on.
She was the first to get into the office, and it felt good to be back behind her desk. She quickly placed the Thankyou gifts she'd brought for George and James on their respective desks, and started up her pc, eager to get back into her routine.
She looked up startled to see Matt purposefully,walking towards her. Her heart skipped several beats.
He looked so good. she'd forgotten how good in fact. His clean shaven face, the way his suit fit, it all made her very thoughtful.
She stood up when he got to her desk. He walked around the table and stood in front of her. She couldn't breathe, all thought fled her mind. All her talk about moving on, was lost at his close proxmity.
She started to say his name, when he cut her off with a soft kiss on the right side of her mouth. Her heart stopped beating instantly. He leaned in again and kissed her another gentle kiss on the left side of her mouth, this time cupping both hands around her face.
He looked into her eyes with so much feeling, her heart restarted with thudding beats,that she swore he could feel it through her shirt.
And when finally, He kissed her full on, with the intensity that could compete with the sun, she nearly swooned.
After awhile He let her go,but didn't move away. Instead he pulled her into a tight embrace, and whispered into her hair " Alesha, I am so sorry, I was a real prat. I nearly lost you out of sheer stubborness. I couldn't stop thinking about you for the past 2 weeks. If you forgive me, I'll buy you all the coffee you could bloody well handle!"
Alesha found herself giggling into his chest, tears rolling down her cheek in waves. " I'll think about it" she said in a watery voice.
Matt pulled back and looked into her face,his eyes searching hers as he said " I really am sorry, I knew I was yours from that kiss that night, and yet I fought it like an idiot. I can understand if you still hate me"
Alesha shook her head, her voice still not cooperating properly, so she did the next best thing, she grabbed his jacket collar and pulled him towards her, and kissed him as deeply as she could, letting all her pent up feelings out.
If he didn't know how she felt after this, he was a lost cause.
Matt reluctantly pulled back for air, grinning at her " so that'd be a yes,then?" before swooping her up in a hug that lifted her off her feet.
