Emma couldn't sleep that night, even though she flopped her bed like a bag of potatoes, her mind trailed away, Jeremy already told her he wasn't coming home, and that he had some things to sort out.

She rolled to the other side, letting out a low groan, before clutching her bed sheets hard. She stared at the ceiling for ten minutes, trying to twirl with her hair.

When she was little, her mother said milk was healthy and was good for sleeping, she chugged tons into her mouth that day, only hell knew she ended in the toilet barfing.

She finally stood up from the bed, reaching for her phone on the bed side table, swiping over to her social handle, and she read the comments.

#Gooddigger_12: Cute couple.

#Dr_Noah4: Why does it seem fake?

She rolled her eyes, staring blankly at the screen, she knew she was working, but a part of her itched to text him. Just one text Emma. She told herself.

Emma: Hey.

He didn't reply, she flinched. Bobbed back on the bed, and pulled her hair.

    The next day, Jeremy shouldn't have stopped by at his parents house, but he did anyway, why? Because when you break the rules, you feel... free.And, that was exactly what he felt when he stood at the door of his parent's house, with Emma shuddering behind me.He watched her under his lashes the way she pulled her coat together, stared around with those bulgy eyes that would have looked better in glasses and when she finally turned back to him."Are you sure? The Harts never like the Roberts? Your mother? I don't think so." Her face was doubting, she was frowning, and dear, even her frown seemed like her smile.If there was one thing Jeremy knew about his mother: Violet Hart was that she didn't take shit, she was nice in her way, always pampering him and telling him to do stuff, but her dangerous sides had an effect.Such as now, when the door creaked open gently and the only thing Emma could see was a woman dressed in a slight turtleneck gown, a necklace that read 'Hart' in an elegan

    Emma: You are pitching your game demo today?Jeremy: Yeah.Emma: Good luck then.Jeremy: Wait, we just left each other like ten seconds ago, why are you texting me this now when you could just have told me?Emma; Don't TEMPT me.Jeremy smiled at his phone, walking along the halls, with his assistant trudging behind him, damn, he had really wanted her to tell him that with her fucking incredible mouth, now, all he had was a text, well great then. He could suck that up too!He pushed the door of the meeting room open, all present people standing up to bow their respect to him. He gave a brief nod- like always, before ambling over to his chair.Positioning himself, he turned towards one of the directors, "Thank you for having me here today." Even though I would rather be doing something better than this.They all chirped a smile to him- something he considered weird."It's such a miracle that you are able to pin a game down in just a month." The director with the quirky glasses pointed o

    Emma had seen all Jeremy's facial expressions, his bored look, his happy look, his cheeky grin, his irresistible smirk, but never had she seen his gloomy face.She rimmed her hands against the table of the donut shop, staring around the tiny pink decorated shop, breathing in suddenly.The door bursts open, and a figure strides over to her. He looked good even in his suit that hung over his body, his hair seemed perfectly gelled, he looked well, except for the look on his face."Jeremy? What happened?" She stared in plain horror at the way he threw himself unto the chair."Emma," His voice is distressed, he seems to be going through some sort of pain, he ran his hands down his hair, pulling the strands away, "My flashdrive." He paused when the waitress bobbed over to them.What was with the waitress who came at the wrong time?"Thanks, but water will do just fine." Emma gave her a tired smile, she smiled, took one look at Jeremy before passing by. Yep, especially waitresses who gobbled

    He knew she didn't like the rain, the way she tensed up whenever she heard the thunder brought a sickening feeling to his heart. He did not like that.She was shaking now. Badly."Emma." He gripped her shoulders lightly, his face probing into hers. He couldn't ascertain the color of her face, pure red. She was.... Sobbing?She was shivering, not shaking, two different things. "Jeremy." Another quiet groan, "It's raining.""I know. I know." He soothed, God, he had no idea how to deal with issues like this, "Come." He pressed her body towards his, cooling her.She clutched his dark jacket, weeping in his chest, "I am scared.""No. Don't be." He sighed, his hands stroking her hair, "I will take you home."Her eyes bobbed over to him immediately, "No!" She yelled. The tears sprawled on her face, she whispered, "I don't want to go home, the rain is bad out there.""It hasn't even started raining." Never had he felt sorry for her before. Her eyes were another tone of red, her body felt fra

    Emma blinked, forcing the words out of her mouth, standing beside the door were two huge men, like really huge men with those muscles and all, it scared her. She wanted to hide somewhere right now.She did what was unthinkable, she shut the door on them, they tried to say something, but she slammed the door immediately, she could deal with them later.Jeremy.She ran over to him, "Get dressed." She bit her lips in utter shock, her hands rimming through her nails. Oh dear, let someone come to her aid."Why?" He looked so sexy, the towel wrapped around his dry hair. He moved closer. "Why do I need to get dressed?"She smacked his bare chest, which really was composed of lots of muscles. Gosh, so strong, she whimpered in the pain of his totally hard muscles chest and screamed. "My brothers! They are right outside." She should have known better than not to trust that sneaky snail of a sister, Sabrina never kept secrets. Damn.She texted her younger sister last week and told her she offici

    Claire took a deep breath and stepped into the restaurant, reminding herself again that she had a nice life, nice sisters, nice everything, and now, it was about to get nicer.Her phone rang loudly, she picked it up, and said gruffly, "Hello, who is this?" She had a damn appointment for lunch scheduled with that man, no one could ruin this for her.Absolutely, No One."Claire!" Her sister's naughty voice shoots straight into her ear. Did she forget to mention that she was a Triplet born into the most wealthy family who took fashion as a really straight deal. Born first, Claire then second Cara, then Claire.The only way the Denver sisters could be recognized was the blonde hair and their pretty sharp green eyes that cut right straight to someone's soul."Are you finally meeting with the man who saved your ass away from your damn shitty boyfriend," Her sister's sharp voice booms in, her sister was not romantic at all, but she was desperate in helping other people's curse word."No curs

    Jeremy met up with his brothers, hell, he would never visit them during work hours, but Jason, that guy had texted them asking they meet up.So, he strides into the bakery, his heart still pumping from the last text he received from Emma, she said that she has no idea of who wears that fur.Maybe his brother knows something about it? He doubted on his way towards their seat, as far as he knew, those idiots knew nothing about fashion sense, their fashion senses were as dry as log."Jeremy." He could hear his eldest brother, Edward's voice, "Come here right now."He shrugged, before flopping himself into the seat, acknowledged them before they spank you, so he just gave them a nod. "Jason." He turned towards the eldest, "Edward.""I think you have to tell us everything that's happening," Edward's voice rang into his ears, it's calm with that elder brother warning, but still a part of him scolded Jeremy."Yeah, maybe I would if you start to take me more seriously."

    The night was undoubtedly quiet, with the shaking of the leaves that were about to sprout towards the floor. The wriggling of the wind that just had to blow the curtains and down onto the room.And. Finally sleep, but sleep wouldn't come, days like this, Emma settled on the balcony chair with her twin brother sipping coke while they chatted away about things that didn't quite matter.But today, here she was, at Jeremy's house, seated, gazing down at the balcony chair while sipping the bottle of coke quietly, it burned so much when she was alone.No brother to make her laugh.And finally there was no Jeremy.It was painful because it was true, she missed his scent. He smelled nice like the combinations of flavors she would definitely have on her ice-cream.Gazing at the dark night sky, she took another sip, another quiet night, and she was undoubtedly painfully.Alone.She stretched her hand letting out a quiet yawn, maybe she should head back into the room and sleep, but her limbs jus

    “Asshole.” Emma stabbed the needle into the hole, then another, and another and now her throat hurt.Her younger sister walked into the living room with only a night robe on, she flicked on the globe and let out a yell when she saw Emma.“Goodness!” She flinched back in surprise, her heart still beating from the shock. “Why are you here?”She stared up at her younger sister, her eyes dried with tears, goodness, she had rushed here last night, and thank goodness that her parents weren’t here, she had jostled the keys into the hole and crawled into the lonely sheets, the only thing she could do was cry herself to sleep.“Do you really stay here all by yourself?” Emma stared at her sister with narrowed eyes. She didn’t know why, but it didn’t feel safe for a fifteen year old in a huge mansion all by herself without any adult supervision.“The housekeeper and the butler are here to keep me company.” Her sister appeared from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee, handing her one, her sister

    Jeremy didn’t even know where he was going, but he was sure of one thing: He had to warn Avery. Oh damn, what was his problem again?Running out on Emma. Again. How would she feel? His stomach churned, he could turn back and go home, join her and they could sip coffee together.He raced towards the Imperial Restaurant, and stopped at the entrance, checking his phone, he went inside. The restaurant was almost closing for the day, the place was empty except for some people who stayed behind to catch the latest gossip.Where was Avery? His eyes glanced around nervously, and when he saw a figure seated on the chair, one hand swiping through her phone, the other clutching a cup of coffee.Sharp jawline, petite cheekbones, pursed lips, it didn’t take two and two to know that it was Avery.“Avery.” He scooped himself towards the seat.She glanced up at him, at first, shock flashed in her iris. “Jeremy?” Her voice felt tightened and stiff. “What are you doing here?”I am here to warn you, he

    Was she obsessed with him? Goodness, she was obsessed with him, she checked her phone, blank."Damn!" She slumped against her car seat, and sighed, rubbing her temples together. The cold December air flushed against her face, she checked the time in her phone. It was still early in the afternoon.Which reminded her, Peter was supposed to be here an hour ago, she checked her time frowning, they had agreed on 12:30pm, so where in the hell was he?Should she go out and look for him? Or should she call his number?Just when she was attempting to push the door open, her phone pinged, Peter's name filling the screen.Oh. What seems to be the problem?Immediately, she swiped it."Peter." She inhaled hurriedly, "What has happened-""Emma, I am really sorry but I can't make it today, I just realized that I have other plans."Her heart seemed to tremble, she had looked forward to talking to him, now he wasn't even going to be here."I am really sorry, can I make it up to you?""Get me coffee ne

    Jeremy stretched his hand forward, inhaling the sweet and damp smell of the wind in his nostrils. The night wind always fascinates him, he didn't even know what he liked seeing there: Was it the stars that twinkled? Or the moon that lit his face when he thought about his life, but nevertheless, the night was the only thing he looked forward to all the days of his life.His hands trimmed towards the cup of coffee, he didn't know why, but caffeine made his heart jumble away, especially in the dead of the night.It's funny how you could think of someone, wish they were there, and in reality, they were there, right in front of you."Jeremy!" Her voice caught him out of his reality, her lips were pursed in anger, those pretty shoulders almost jabbing towards him, "You haven't said a thing!"Was he supposed to? Because he had nearly forgotten how it was to breathe, because with this woman by his side, he seems to have lost his source of oxygen.Her perfect figure stood high in the night sky

    Emma dreamed about last night, it was so good she wanted to relive it again and again and again, when he was asleep, she stared at him, at his lush brows that seemed to stretch out when he was asleep, to his lips that seemed swollen.This morning, she still wanted to relive it, but her brother- who often was very annoying just had to knock on their door this morning and demand breakfast.The moment she opened her door, she almost controlled herself from plucking her hand into his face and giving him a punch; he was going to destroy her morning with Jeremy."Hey. Sis." The moment he said that while grinning, she let the anger subside and pulled him into a hug, he smelled safe, just like when they were kids, whenever they got into a huge fight or were arguing about something, he would just stop and hug her.He always smelt safe."Come on in." She nearly controlled an eye roll, as she led him into the room, his hair wasn't scattered around today, thank goodness, his dark green eyes seeme

    Jeremy was really going to find it hard to sleep tonight, because Emma Roberts had never looked sexier in that skimpy dress of hers, it hugged right above her thigh revealing her... God. What has gotten into him?Instead of sleeping like any other normal human being at this time of the night, he was right beside the kitchen island, sipping cold coffee while staring at the dim light.Thoughts of Emma filled his mind, he was crazy for her. Her laugh, her body, her smell, he couldn't take it anymore, it was tempting.And definitely, he wasn't ready to go into that room and lie down on the same bed with her and not dream about this.He placed the cup of coffee back on the table, his body feeling feverish."Jeremy?" He heard the tiniest voice ever, he could even make out the shape of her figure under the light, so fucking beautiful, "Are you there?"Oh gosh, he wanted to hide right now, but then he said. "I am in the kitchen."Shuffling of feet, then the flick of the globe, the light shone

    It's hard how you can balance being a female CEO without people having to look at you weirdly amongst themselves and whisper. 'What's she doing?' or 'Does she know what she's doing?'Just watching them say those words always brings out some sort of low esteem in her, but after all those years, Emma finally realized that the only way she could get hurt was if she actually paid attention to those things.Today was no day to pay attention to them, because today, she was going to have a nice evening with Jeremy, and they are going to paint. Yep, she's finally going to overcome and paint something, even if it's just splashing paint on the board."Ma'am?" There's a subtle knock on the door of her office, since she has been gazing at the clock, seven couldn't come any slower.Her assistant trudged in, with a stack of folders in her arm. "There's a man named Mr. Hart here to see you. Shall I escort him in?"She had nearly thirty minutes before she would be out of the office, spending a few wi

    Jason was done arranging all these folders, and signing and making appointments, it never did seem to stop, just piling up in front of his table. He hated this part of the job, well, he hated being stuck as a billionaire with no future except with the one of making money.He ruffled his hands on his laptop harder, the keys almost bobbing away, at least that was a great way to make sure he was okay.A head peeked from his door, he recognized the face."What do you want, Mary?" Mary was the name of his assistant he just hired a month ago, fresh out of college, she was efficient in her work, but still. She was always messing his appointments up."You have a meeting with the Denver enterprise today sir. Like right now." She bites the lower of her lips, her face growing pink, "I am so sorry, I forgot, I had no idea until the call and-"Yeah, that was it.

    When Emma was in the car with Jeremy on their ride home. She received a text from Avery.At first, she thought it was a normal text from her mother reminding her to wear make-up, or brush her hair or it was just one of those useless advertising ads piling up in her email, but it was Avery.The text was short, yet carried with so much importance.Avery: Hey. Can you come to burger dine if you aren't busy, Jayci would love to meet you.She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat, before gazing out of the window, the building stood in front of her elegantly, 'burgers and dine,' written well in a cold blue font.Something in her heart cracked. Burgers and dine was just near them, how in the hell had Aubrey known she was here?Avery was inside there, she couldn't possibly have seen her car outside, or could she be tracking her?She swallowed involuntarily. These past few days, she hasn't been having a good feeling about Avery or anything, even though it's rude since the latter already
