Chapter 349 - I Love You...
When Henry came back she requested some pictures with him, afterwards, she asked if she could post the pictures and he agreed.
When her mother left them, he told her he was planning to ask her to marry him on month's end but he hadn't told her yet.
He told her to keep it a secret and she agreed. She was very happy for them, finally, her mom would be happy.
Diana quickly selected a few pictures and posted them on her Instagram page, a grin on her chin.
She had millions of followers so the response she received was almost immediate,
In less than a minute, over 5000 comments on the picture,
She went through the comments slowly,
'why is she with Henry, is she not dating Michael?'
'didn't know Diana did sugar daddies, haha, I knew she was just playing with Michael,'
'she's too young for Henry, why is she with him, it can't be because of money, because she's super rich.'
'Stop eating her up, maybe they are in love.'
'This bitch, she's just playing men. Why would she hurt Michael so much? I knew she was using him all along!'
'I support Diana, no matter where she goes, I support her!'
Diana chuckled as she read through the comments, her phone vibrating over and over again.
She knew there were rumors about her and Michael on the internet, but she normally didn't check those, but seeing most of the comments more inclined on her cheating on Michael, she went on the internet and typed,
Who is Diana Smith…
She did not complete the sentence before Goggle gave her the most possible options and she clicked on one,
Who is Diana Smith dating currently?...
Her and Michael's pictures appeared on the front page. So many pictures of them at restaurants, walking down the street, holding hands.
Her eyes widened when she saw a caption,
Diana engaged to fast rising actor Michael Wills?
It had a picture of her hands with the ring she wore on her ring finger circled.
"what the…"
She laughed as she read the message. Bloggers really knew how to formulate a whole new story, just for the views.
She was about to log out when her eyes flashed at another headline,
'How many women has Michael Wills dated?'
Her fingers hesitated on it and in the end, her curiosity won and she clicked it,
There were about eight women in the blog post, drop dead gorgeous women.
The first was a model, stunning with hazel eyes,
Second, a TV presenter, beautiful too.
Diana read through their biography with a pout on her lips, he never dated a simple looking woman,
And then her eyes stopped on the seventh woman, Jade.
Instead of just reading, she clicked on her name,
The first picture she saw was of Michael holding her around the waists as they stood for an event.
She was popular so he must have gone out with her to events often, that explained why there were so many pictures of them.
Diana scrolled slowly and she stopped on another, he was whispering something in her ear at another event, which made her blush a little.
Diana shrugged and logged off the blog post.
Even if they were that close, she was a past now, nothing could change that.
As though reading her mind, her phone vibrated in her hands, and Michael's call came in.
"Babe, where are you?"
"I'm going back home, are you done with the meeting?"
"Mm, yeah, I got so many messages today asking me weird questions, so I had to check your post."
Diana laughed,
"Oh, I took a few pictures with Henry, he's my mom's boyfriend, but since I didn't tag it anything and he said he don't want to make it public yet, people are saying whatever, don't mind them, that is normal."
"wow, he's your mom's boyfriend, that's interesting."
"Yeah, I didn't even know. I'm so happy for my mom, she got a hot guy."
"Mm…he's hot?"
"Yeah, and his voice is sexy too, his pictures definitely didn't do justice to him."
Michael was quiet for a second,
"and he's sexy too?"
Diana was about to say yes when she understood the meaning of his question, her hand flew over her mouth.
"Ah, no, no, he's just good looking, that is… I wasn't expecting him to be the one, I'm just happy for my mom that's all."
"You've never told me I'm hot, or anything like that, and you praise another man… ha, I'm hurt."
"oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry, forgive me, okay."
"Okay, I forgive you."
Michael replied but Diana felt it wasn't enough.
"Are you in the office?"
"Mm… I still have some work to do before I leave, will call you when I'm done okay?"
"Alright.. "
The call ended and Diana turned to her driver,
"Take me to Warren Corp."
When she arrived, she greeted his secretary.
It was a man this time, Diana couldn't help smiling,
"Is the CEO in?"
She asked, when she came to the office, the security led her to the elevator leading to his office, and treated her like she was their boss.
Although she was a celebrity, she didn't expect the extremely good treatment she received, it was either Michael had told them to treat her properly or they knew they were dating from the rumors online and they didn't want to get on his bad side by making her wait.
The secretary stood up and smiled at her,
"Yes, he's in, let me tell him you're…"
"No, don't tell him."
She stopped him with a smile, and the secretary nodded.
Walking to his office, she pushed the door open and put her head in.
"surprise!"
Michael's eyes which were over a file on his table peeked up and a smile formed on his lips when he saw her.
Diana entered then office completely and closed the door behind her.
"how is my boyfriend doing?"
She asked, walking to him on the table,
Michael held her waists and pulled her to him, hugging her, his head resting on her boobs,
"Mm… I'm feeling so much better now."
Diana chuckled, ruffling his hair with her hands,
"Was today stressful?"
She asked and he nodded like a cute boy, his eyes closed.
Diana smiled, after some minutes, he pulled her to his laps, and kissed her lips,
"I missed you."
He said, holding her face with his hands.
Diana pecked his lips, "I'm here now."
She smiled, caressing his face, she watched his eyes drop to her lips again and he kissed her, this time he didn't stop, he deepened it a little more.
Diana's hands went around his neck as she pulled him towards her, kissing him back,
Michael moaned, his hand riling up her skirt, her white thighs coming in view.
Diana moaned against him, her eyes rolling back as he left her lips and sucked on her neck, her fingers dug into his shoulders and her back arched, as his lips kissed over her little cleavage, and as though he thought of something, he stopped.
Groaning, he asked, "why are you so fuckin beautiful all the time?"
He asked, pushing her hair away from her face, as his eyes locked in hers,
"You're stunning Diana. Irresistibly stunning."
Diana swallowed, his eyes were filled with lust but the way he looked at her made her feel like he really meant what he said.
Her hands came up to his face as she stared deep in his eyes, she wanted to tell him how she was feeling at that moment,
She wanted to tell him the three words that filled her heart whenever she looked at him,
But what if he didn't say it back?
No, she should tell him even if he doesn't say it back, at least she had done her part and he would know how she felt about him.
"Michael…" she called almost in a whisper,
Her heart slammed against her chest, jeez… she didn't know this was so hard,
"I love you…"
Her heart skipped a beat.
She said it.
She finally said it.
Diana held her breath as she stared at Michael, who was staring back at her, surprise in his eyes.
One second
Two seconds
Three…
Nothing happened.
Diana felt sweat break out on her back and she blinked.
"Do you have a restroom here?"
Without thinking, she said and stood up from his lap.
Michael nodded and pointed to his restroom.
"Oh, okay." Diana smiled and adjusted her skirt, walking into the restroom, she locked the door.
Her eyes stared blankly into thin space and after sometime her gaze blurred.
She had mustered up courage to finally confess to him, but he couldn't say it back.
Diana felt her heart squeeze so tight that she couldn't breathe.
She walked slowly to the water closet and sat on it.
Couldn't he at least say it back even if he didn't mean it?
Why did he ask her out if he didn't love her?
Why was he treating her so good if he didn't love her?
Diana felt like crying out loud but she bit her lower lip.
The pain in her heart was so much. All the words of her mom earlier that day came back to her, coupled with his ex, Jade and now this, Diana wept silently.
This was so not fair.
She tried to push back her tears but she was way too emotional at that moment, so by the time she finished crying, her eyes were so red.
She couldn't go out like that, he would know she had cried.
Thinking for a moment, she opened the door and brought out her hand,
"Michael, can you help me with my bag, please?"
Thankfully, she sounded as okay as possible.
"What's wrong?" she heard him stand up and walk towards her,
"Uh… I think my period came."
"Oh, so sorry, are you okay?" Michael asked as he placed the bag on her palm and she murmured faintly.
