Why would he ask such question?Was he happy for her life? Was he concerned? Hell, she didn't wanted him to. He should just leave her alone, why was he so concerned about the way she lived?"It's a long story." She laughed slowly, even though it ended up being rigid, "Long story short, somethings happen." Nervous, her voice reeked of tiredness.He didn't believed that, who would have believed that anyway? That cheap piece of lie. "Tell me, Arya." He stared at her, but his eyes, those silver gentle eyes tickled over her body gently, and she knew instantly.He did care. Devon Brookes freakin' cared if she was crying or not."It's the guy, Kelvin Lere. You know him?" He nodded his head. "It hasn't been going well with his wife and I, and sometimes, he intervenes and say really hurtful words." She was tired, she hated talking about Kelvin or Anna, they brought that familiar disgust to her stomach, the feeling that told her everytime she wasn't over him.'Useless.''Fake.' They never fail
Arya kept her hand plastered on the plates, trying her best to whish it apart, her hands held the whisk, before she gently whisked the eggs. Layers of sweat trickled down her gentle hair down unto her jaw. Like a pro chef- in which she wasn't. She wiped away the strand of the sweat, letting the tiny droplet of sweat trickle along the counter.Gently, she placed the bowl on the table, before she grabbed the bottle of milk, emptying it into the whole bowl. Yep. Brownies, since when had she last cooked? This was absurd, she had lost the manner of the ingredients."Arya. Really?" Colin stood afar from the kitchen, his hands placed around his hips, his voice was hoarse. "Why are you making brownies?"She turned to look towards her brother, casting him a dark look, for the last few days, she had been doubting herself, trying to find her true purpose in life, and here she was. At her parents house, making brownies, without an apron."Where's Mother?" She found herself asking, "She's out," C
Centered around the tiny table, seated on the chair was Arya, her brother, Colin and her elder sister, Samantha.Their faces was all smiles, Arya pushed the plate of dumplings, taking a gentle bite. "Sam, what's been up in Japan?"Samantha, her elder sister, wrinkled her nose gently, before stretching her arms, the dark light illuminated gently under the lamp, one that reflected the gentle morning, "I just arrived, tired and hopeless, and you guys suggest I eat dumplings?""That's what Brina always says," He smiled gently, who in the hell would take advise from his female best friend?"Whatever." She sprawled her feet together, adjusting on the floor. It was the best norm , eating like this on the floor.Colin's eyes widened, "Oh my freaking goodness. My game," He was on his feet immediately, "I have to get back to my game." He dashed upstairs immediately.They were alone, Arya freaked out internally, she was torn between saying the truth now, or.. Or just what?"Sam. We need to talk.
In the next minute, he was closer, his finger coursing through her cheek gently, his eyes moved over to the figure that sprawled on the floor and he let out a brief scoff, before focusing back on her."Arya." The way he pronounced her name, something fluttery jumped out of her stomach, she stared back at him, her eyes moistening with tears. Somehow, she still reeked of alcohol, but he didn't even seem to care one bit.To her surprise, he didn't ask her what she was doing here like other guys or even how he got here, he didn't even bother to ask any questions, his hands just simply held the back of her neck, before he lifted her up, he walked her out of the bar, the man who sprawled on the floor, still cursing under his breath."Just you wait! You dare to disgrace me! Your life is over!" If only he knew, he was messing with the demi-god of business himself.***"What in the hell?" Barbara frowned deeply before muttering something under her breath, she gazed back at the figure who bowed
Just do what you always do, work your ass off, work work work, then go home and have a mug of cool coffee, also. Try hiding from Devon Brookes.None of them seemed to be working on Arya's wish, she had been trying her best to avoid Devon Brookes since the morning, and it always seems to work, and he doesn't mind not seeing her, but now, it's hard, as she's in his company.She glances around for a brief second, still clutching her hand-bag staring around like she doesn't know her places around. Why was she here anyways? Just to inform Devon Brookes that she didn't want to live in his house again. Yep, do that and get it over with.Breathing in again, she made for the elevator, but suddenly, a hand grasped her harshly, causing her to stumble."Shit." Arya muttered, before widening her eyes, the first words that popped out of her brain were. "What in the hell are you doing here?"Anna freakin' Lere was in Devon's company, wearing what seemed to be like plained jeans, and an off-shoulder
When it was night. Arya snuck into the manor. She knew she shouldn't be acting like a teenager who missed curfew, but damn. It was ten in the night, and she was going into his house.He would probably be asleep, right?She clutched her hand bag around her, just breath, when you reach the living room, take a deep breath and run. It sounded like the perfect idea, but...."Arya?" She froze sneakily, before slowly turning to face him. Shit. He was still seated there, with his brows raised, legs crossed together, his perfect suit lingering of his perfect body."Hmm?" She whispers, before silently muttering something in her head, she shouldn't have agreed with Emma to have drink, at least, she had only a shot, but now, her head hurts like crazy.And, what better way was crazy than when you seem to be late?He pushes his shoes off his legs, letting it fall to the floor. "Where were you?" That raised brow looking absolutely gorgeous.You are not my mother for goodness sake! And, I am not goi
Arya wanted to avoid Devon, but it didn't seem possible, because he was right there, in his usual morning couch, why did he even like that plushy soft red laced couch?He was there, sipping through his morning coffee, or was it Cocoa? But, she could see the bubbles forming at the entrance, the seam that bubbles out of the mug.While, she was seating on the other chair, swiping through her phone, could her life just go better than this?If only, she could bring up an excuse and just leave, no one said a word about last night, and it was suffocating when no one said anything.Just damn say something. She flapped her lips together, trying to think of a word to say.Your shirt looks good?You sip your coffee sexy? Nope. Typical fatty nope.And, then, she checked her phone."Holy shit!" If she was drinking that hot cocoa or coffee or whatever it was, she would have choked the entire content right at him and have to explain why.He finally looked up from his papers, his aura winding all ove
"Are you nervous?" As soon as Devon pushed the door of the car opening, his tall legs coming into view, he whispered to her.Arya didn't know whether her heart was supposed to squeeze so badly, or still, she stared at the huge bar that read 'Beers n bears.' Weird, because she would rather be anywhere but here."They are your friends. Why would I feel nervous." Nope, complete lie, she had every reason to feel nervous, she couldn't detain the time he asked her whether she would like to accompany him to his friend's birthday.And, here she was. Standing beside Devon Brookes, about to enter the restaurant and probably meet his other cool stinky rich friends."Do you need some encouragement?" He asked.She bit her lips, before nodding.His hands encircled the small of her back, before pulling her closer, she could smell his familiar scent. Must. Resist. Scent."It's going to be okay." He leaned in, parting his lips together, when a frown surfaced around those lips, "My friends are normal."
