"Yes. Sorry I didn't hear it ring" ahe replied with a smile.
"Where were you?"
"I took Clary to Juan" she replied forgetting that ever since what occurred at her office the other day Dale has developed a perfect hatred for Juan.
Ahe tried to explain to him that he did what he did to save them from been embarrassed but he wouldn't agree. He thinks she's taking his sides.
At first she wanted to believe him but ahe discovered that Juan didn't even concern himself with their issue. He didn't even make mention of the slap he received from her.
"Isn't Juan that new guy in the IT?" He frowned.
Tyndall gave a nod. She wished ahe hadn't told him the truth.
"Is Clary is son?" He asked.
"No".
"Then why take him to him?"
She knew he was trying to get the answer so ad to know how to react.
"He just went to say hi"
"Darling you know I don't like you near that guy. I don't like the way he do treat you. I'm not so comfortable with you around him" he said calmly.
"Juan is harmless" she defended.
She knew Dale doesn't like the way he do take sides of Juan but she won't because she want to please her guy badmouth another. She knew quite well that Juan has a good heart.
"Never said he us harmful but as a guy you don't expect me to be free with you going to a guy's place" he said jealously.
Tyndall smiled at his jealousy. She knew it is a normal thing for a guy to feel that way.
"Juan is a family. There's nothing to be scared of" she said smiling.
"Is he your brother? I have everything to be scared about" he disagreed. "Not until I make you mine permanently I won't be free with that guy" he said seriously.
"Dale, that's my sisters ex. Do you think I'll go for him even if he makes advances?" She laughed
"Feelings can be funny at times" he asserted.
That words struck her heart that it beats. She didn't know why that happened but ahe knew it got something to do with his word.
"I'm not happy Tin" he said moving closer to her.
"Why?"
"You've been avoiding me" he said showing that he is sad.
Tyndall gave a confused look. She didn't know how she's been avoiding him. They do see at work and she do call him.
"I don't get you?" She asked.
"You've been avoiding my touch. Don't you want me?"
He touched her neck and massage it gently.
"I want but....." She swallowed not knowing the excuse to give.
She knew it was right for his to touch her but saying the truth most of her vibe for him has really reduced. She didn't know what came about that but she knew she didn't want him as she did before.
"But what?" He asked as he moved closer to her mouth.
He felt that it was the impingement of his touch that made her short of words. Not knowing she didn't know the excuse to give him.
He kissed her and she responded slowly. She tried to focus on the kiss but her mind seems not to want to indulge in the act. She didn't know what is happening to her because she could vividly remember that when she was still having crush on him, she would get hot just at the call of his name. She would think about him for a very long time and praying that she is noticed and now when she's noticed and even chosen, she is gradually loosing interest.
She want to fight it and continue but when his hand dig into her blouse to touch her boobs, she couldn't take it any longer.
"Juan Ria can come in anytime" she said moving away from him.
Dale wore a shocked look. He stared at her for some seconds. "What did you just call me?" Hos voice was so low and filled with shock.
Tyndall realised her mistake and covered her mouth with her palm. She herself was surprised at the silly mistake she just did.
"It's a mistake" she pleaded with a shaky voice.
Dale scoffed. "You called his name in the middle of a kiss and you called that mistake?" He asked. His voice was neither friendly nor harsh.
"Dale please understand it was a mistake" she said.
"Are you sleeping with him?" He said with sorrow lacing his eyes.
Tyndall opened her eyes in horror. "Why would you say such thing!" She asked.
Even though she knew she was wrong, she didn't expect him to say such thing.
"What other explanation did you have to give than that?" He asked looking into her eyes.
"You can't just think that I'm sleeping with someone because I mistake your name for his" she said with anger in her eyes.
