Detective Love

The next morning, a call woke Elena from bed. She stood up and went to her desk to take her phone. She checked the caller ID, it was Darwin. She smiled and answered the call.

"Hello. She said.

"Hey, Elena. Good morning. Darwin greeted.

"Good morning. She replied.

"How was your night? 

"Fine thank you, and you?

"It went well. So, are you feeling better?

"Feeling great.

"That's good to know. And please don't go out on your own again. Especially to bars where you will get drunk.

"Yeah. I've learned my lesson. Fun nights cancelled.

"Oh don't be like that Elena, you can still have fun nights. In fact, any time you want to, you can always contact me.

"Okay.

"So, are you going to work today?

"No. Not until Wednesday.

"Alright. Make sure you take care of yourself. Bye.

"Bye.

She hangs up on the call and smiled to herself. She put the phone down on her desk and went to take a shower.

At Ray's organization, Ray and Adam were discussing in his office when Nancy came in.

"Good morning sir. She greeted as she winked at Adam. Adam winked back and she smiled.

"Good morning, Nancy. How are you doing?

"Fine, thank you sir.

"Any updates?

"Um, not really but •••••••

"There is one I and this pretty lady right here wants to inform you about. Adam interrupted.

"And what's that? Ray asked with a confused look.

"We are already a thing. He said as he came close to her and kissed her forehead.

"Wow! Ray exclaimed in surprise. He came close to Adam and shook hands with him. Then he asked 

"Wait, when did that happen?

"Yesterday afternoon. He replied.

Ray shook his hands again.

"Congratulations,bro. He said.

"Thank you. Adam said with a smile.

"I'm so proud bro. 

"I know right? Adam said and they laughed.

"How about I take you two out to celebrate.

"Why not?

They all left his office and went to his car. Ray started the engine and drove off.

When they got back, Adam went straight to his organization and Ray and Nancy went to their office.

When Nancy got to her office, Betty and Sam were waiting for her at the entrance. When she saw them, she ignored them and got pulled back by Sam.

"What is it? She asked in anger.

"We just want to ask a question. Betty said.

"And what question is that?

"Are you in a relationship with boss's friend? Sam asked.

"Wait, what's wrong with you two? You never mind your business. And if you're not careful, I'll report you two to Mr Ray.

"We just came out ask a friendly question, just give us an answer. Betty said.

"Do you need my answer so badly? She asked.

"Yes. Both of them chorused.

"Then my answer is no. Capital letter "NO".

"Then explain the kiss you both had at the restaurant. Betty shouted.

Nancy became tensed. Then she asked. "Wait, did you two follow us to the restaurant? 

Betty and Sam became mute.

"Answer me. She yelled.

"Well. Sam replied. "We kinda were in the same restaurant.

"How? Nancy asked.

"We went to have a lunch break. Betty replied.

"Since you two now know about it, Nancy said. I do not want to see you near him or hear you talk about it to anyone.

"Trust us. Betty said.

"I do not need to trust you. Nancy said with a glaring look.

"Then how do you keep your secret safe? Asked Sam.

Nancy hissed and walked to the door.

"I do not have time for the both of you. I have loads of work waiting for me in my office. She said as she opened the door.

She went in and immediately, Betty and Sam left also. When they got to the front of Sam's office, they began to gossip again.

"I am so gonna inform Ray about this. Betty said as they got to the door.

"And I support you with that. Sam replied.

"She knew she had been dating the boss's friend and she lied to us and didn't even inform the boss himself.

"She's so gonna get fired.

"True to that! Betty exclaimed in laughter.

Then they began to hear footsteps approaching.

"I think someone is coming. Sam said.

"Let's get out of here quickly. Betty replied.

The two dispersed as soon as possible before anyone noticed them.

After work, Nancy went to Adam's apartment. When she got to the door, she pressed the doorbell.

The door opened and revealed Adam smiling.

"Hey, baby. Adam said and kissed her.

"Hey, honey. She replied when they broke their kiss. He ushered her in and took her bag from her. Then he went into some where Nancy thought lt to be his kitchen and brought her a cup of cold water.

"Here, have this. He said as he gave the cup to her.

"Thank you. She replied. I was so thirsty. She thought. Such a darling.

She drank the water and placed the cup on a table and move closer to Adam and kissed him. They broke their kiss and started snuggling each other.

"Babe. She said.

"Hmmm. He replied.

"I have something to tell you.

"What's that? He said as they made eye contact.

"Two ladies working in your friend's organization kinda discovered that we are dating.

"And what's wrong with that? 

"Babe!

"No seriously, what's wrong with that?

"If you knew how much of a gossip these girls are you wouldn't be talking like this.

Adam laughed.

"Babe it ain't funny. She looked at him with a serious face.

"Ok, I'm sorry. But what do think is wrong with that?

"Everything babe. Everything.

"How?

"I don't want anyone to know we're dating yet. And you know we just started.

"Is that why you're so interested in those two ladies?

"Yeah. See baby, I love you and I don't want to share you with another lady.

"I know you do love me but what makes you think that?

"Do you know how many female workers are crushing on you? 

"Then let them crush from dream to reality. See Nancy, I love you. What happens at work shouldn't really bother you. Any female worker shouldn't give you a problem because I chose you and only you.

"Awwn. She said as she looked at him lovingly."I love you Adam.

"And I love you too, Nancy. He replied as gave her a gentle tap on the nose.

Then they kissed.
