~Maya~"Don't worry, I got you," Adrian said, his voice calm as he took my hand in his."Let me go! You caused this in the first place!""What do you mean me?""If you hadn't pestered me, heaven wouldn't have taken my words literally!"Rumble!The plane shook violently as everyone began screaming and saying prayers loudly. Panicked, I dug my fingers into the chair as I closed my eyes tightly.Biting on my lips hard, my eyes remained closed as I reminisced on happy memories. Taking deep breaths, I tried my best to calm my nerves down."This is your captain speaking, we have successfully landed in west side California. We apologize for the turbulence. We had experienced a little fault but it's all good now."Hearing the announcement, a wave of relief engulfed me as I exhaled deeply, my breaths shuddered. A cold sweat escaped my forehead as a tear threatened to escape my eye.For a moment, I thought I was going to die! For real this time! Oh goodness, I should really mind the things I sa
~Maya~Taking in continuous shots of whiskey, I laughed hysterically as I remembered the harsh words he told me. “You’re just incompetent,” his words rang in my ears as I doused myself with another glass.“Yuck!” I exclaimed tasting something off in my drink.“Bill please,” I ordered as I waved my hands signalling the bartender.As he approached me with the cheque, I felt myself going numb, my vision blurring slowly as I rummaged through my bag in search of my card. “Why am I so dizzy?” I muttered to myself, my voice a mere whisper.“Ma’am, will you be paying by cash or card?” He asked disrupting my thoughts.Letting out a loud yawn, I closed my eyes slightly as my body began to burn with desire, “Card,” I managed to say as my breaths got heavier.He departed returning swiftly with the payment machine in his hands. Feeling my card in reach, I pulled it out as I stretched my hands towards him.“Just a moment ma’am,” he responded, his voice sweet and calm. Immoral thoughts filled my hea
~Maya~As the sun’s rays penetrated through the room, I squinted my eyes open weakly. Yawning, I stretched as I got up from the bed. Turning to my side, my eyes widened in disbelief as I saw a naked man beside me.“It couldn’t be, could it?” I muttered to myself.Rubbing my forehead, I tried recalling events that took place last night, but all efforts were futile. Unable to bear the shock, I rose from the bed swiftly.Picking up my clothes from the floor, I slid into them as quickly as I could and staggered away from the room. My legs trembled from the intense actions of last night, posing difficulty in my escape.Making my way to the streets, I hailed a cab and got in swiftly. “Take me to Greene Street,” I muttered, breathing heavily as I rubbed my head.Riding in silence, I pulled out my phone and began glancing through numerous unanswered texts. Reminiscing on the scene I woke up to, I covered my mouth with the palm of my hands as tears rolled down my eyes.Delving deep into my th
~Adrian~Waking up to the insistent ringing of my phone, I squinted my eyes open weakly as I yawned. Stretching my hands towards the table, I grabbed my phone, pulling it close to my ear as I answered coldly, “Yes.”“Good morning Mr. Steele, we apologize for the flight delay. It was a misinformation; you’re set to take off by twelve-thirty this afternoon,” the director of the airport stated.Hearing his words, I ended the call abruptly, as I kept my phone aside. Looking to the side of the bed, my eyes widened in disbelief as I was met with an empty bed.“Where’d she go?” I muttered to myself, running my hands through my hair.Drifting my gaze to the corners of the room, a shiny jewelry caught my attention from the side of the bed. Stretching towards it, I picked it up as I glanced at it's features. Narrowing my eyes, I studied it intently.Drawing it close to my nose, I realized it had the same scent as the woman from last night.Knock!My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the d
~Adrian~I remained silent, reminiscing on last night’s encounter with the stranger as we drove through the streets. Her soft moans echoed in my ears as I bit my lips softly. Rubbing my chin, I delved deeper into my thoughts, hoping to find her soon.“Sir?” Henry called out, disrupting my thoughts.“Huh?” I responded, turning my gaze to Henry.“Sir, I’ve been talking about the project,” Henry stated, eyes widened in disbelief as he palmed his face.I could tell he was agitated, discovering he’d been talking to himself the entire time. I had never been distracted from work. My sudden change of attitude left Henry speechless.“Oh, the project, right,” I said, smacking my lips as I took the file from Henry’s hands.Glancing through it, I furrowed my brows, wrinkling my forehead. I couldn’t understand a word that was written down. Blinking my eyes repeatedly, I tried going through the file once more, but the results were the same.Staring at me with widened eyes, Henry scoffed in disbelie
~Maya~Walking down the street, I delved deep in my thoughts. I had just booked a flight to California, luckily there was one more seat available.I wanted to forget everything, I was tired of the hurt I had to endure. Deep down, I hoped it was unreal. I hoped I’d wake up from this nightmare, but reality had other plans for me.Reminiscing on past events, I couldn’t help but wonder, what pictures Andrew talked about earlier. What really happened last night. I was sure as hell I was with Katherine until she left to use the bathroom.I tasted something off in my drink and after that, everything went blank. The only thing I could remember was darkness and the stranger’s deep voice.Not watching my surrounding, I walked into the street as I remained lost in thought.Honk!Crash!The bonnet of a speeding limousine collided with my stomach knocking me to the ground. As my vision blurred, a familiar scent engulfed my senses as I succumbed to the darkness.…***…The strong scent of medicine
~Maya~My eyes widened as our lips remained intertwined with each other. I couldn't understand why I had a sense of deja Vu with this strange man. He tasted the exact same way the stranger did. Could it be he's my one night stand?Our eyes locked onto each other as our lips remained intertwined. Looking at the man underneath me, I felt a strange sense of familiarity which couldn't be explained."B*tch!"A woman yelled as she approached us angrily. Blinking my eyes, I was jolted back to the present. Realizing I was still on top of him, I got up quickly arranging my clothes.Slap!Her hands grazed my cheeks harshly as she yelled, "Ungrateful b*tch! How dare you!"Ungrateful? What did she mean by that?"Enough!" The man yelled as he got up from the floor. Arranging his clothes, he glared at the woman angrily, "She saved my life! What is wrong with you!""Kissing you is saving your life?!""It's none of your business," he responded coldly.Turning to me, he forced a smile as he stretched
~Adrian~Enraged at the sudden delay of the flight, I stormed out of the airport.Ring!My phone rang yet again adding to my annoyance. Pulling out my phone from my pocket, I rolled my eyes seeing it was a call from my mother."Watch out!" A woman yelled desperately.Drifting my gaze from my phone, I felt a strong grip on my arm, pulling me away from the road. A speeding vehicle passed by as I fell to the floor.Falling on top of me, our lips intertwined with each other without warning. My eyes widened as I lost myself in the taste of her lips. She had the exact taste of the stranger I searched for, and the same scent. Could she be the one?"B*tch!" Anna yelled, approaching us from the side.Blinking her eyes, my savior pulled away from me as she arranged her clothes. Looking at her face, I felt a sense of familiarity, like I'd seen her somewhere before.Slap!Anna's hands grazed her cheeks harshly as she yelled, "Ungrateful b*tch! How dare you!""Enough!"

~Maya~ I was shocked to see I was upgraded from economy to business class. What I found more absurd was the fact the man I tried avoiding earlier was my seat partner. Watching his lover and the strange man depart, I bit my lips, turning my gaze to the flight attendant, "Can I change my seat please?" "I'm sorry ma'am, that can't be done." "But..." "You need to settle in ma'am, the flight's about to take off," she urged, giving Adrian a meaningful nod as she departed swiftly. Rolling my eyes, I groaned in frustration as I turned towards my seat. Adrian had a smug look of victory on his face which irritated me even more. Settling into my seat, I pulled out my phone as I began scrolling through my email. "What're you doing?" Adrian asked, stretching his neck as he tried to take a peek at my phone. "Can you stop meddling in my affairs?" I asked, forcing a smile. It took everything in me not to land a knock on his head. "Just curious, that's all." Ignoring him, I continued swiping
~Adrian~Sitting at the restaurant, I was flustered. She literally walked out on me like I wasn't important, which I definitely wasn't used to."Your order..." The waiter said as he approached me. Looking at me, he wrinkled his forehead as he scanned the restaurant, "I'm sorry, there was a lady here who ordered for food," he said.Rolling my eyes, I fixed my gaze on him, "Do I look like her? She's obviously gone. Leave," I stated coldly, dismissing him with a wave of my hand.The nerve of that woman. Her absolute nonchalance towards me in a weird way, intrigued me as I became determined to know more about this Maya Books.Laughing slightly, I stood up from the chair swiftly. Arranging my clothes, I bit my lips as I muttered, "I was just rejected."Walking out of the restaurant, I made my way back to the airport swiftly. "Adrian," Anna called, approaching me from the side."What?""I got you a meal while we wait. You haven't eaten all morning," she said, handing me a takeout."I'm not
