Chapter 6: Tiara

I walk as fastly as I can to the office, angry and frustrated. My mouth can't stop sending out abuses on my way. On my way, Rose asked me what is happening and while grumbling I answer " nothing" without stopping myself and entering to the office.

While inside, I don't take my time to sit down, in the contrary I walk around the office more furious than before. For whom does he think he is? Why was he so different... I mean yesterday, he was like a knight serving <<sturborness is a crime>> and now...<< Learn how to rest at your place>> . He was so wild as if I did the worse thing on earth . Idiot! He is such an idiot, such a dictator who think he can do and say what he want at any time. Bastard! 

I feel a slight pain on my wrist. Shit! He even hurt me. I should stop thinking about him cause he will not be the one who will finish my work right now. But this pain really hurt me, it seems serious.

I approach the shelf and take a first aid box. I go next to my chair and take a bandage then roll it around my right wrist. I feel a little pain, seems my wrist has a little bit swollen. So I take my precautions to band my wrist. After the treatment, I get to the shelf and put it on his place and walk to my chair ready to work.

Few hours later, very soon is time for me to go home and my work is ready to be presented to Madam Torneur tomorrow. I arrange all the documents and put them in each workbooks then position them on miss Torneur's table office with a smile, although my wrist isn't better.

Someone enter at the office without knocking, infront of me I can recognize her, with her blue sky eyes and her hair colored in gray. Lola parks, the best female artist of the moment. Last week in magazines, she had red colored hairs and now gray, wow! Is she so artificial?

" Who are you?" She asked me arrogantly while sitting.

" ...my name is Tiara frost." I said while not paying attention to her attitude.

" And so...what are you doing here?"

" Am the new assistant of madam Torneur."

" Finally she took an assistant, right but is it a way to dress at work?" She asked me.

I turn and look at her with an eyebrow raised, surprise by her unsupportable remark.

" In fact, I can see she isn't there, so pass her some message assistant...take note." She said with an ordered voice.

" I have a name and it isn't assistant." I said annoyed by her manners

" And what is my concern, your job is to be an assistant right, so that is how I have to call you. Now take note."

Reality and magazines are really two different things. She acts like a heartly woman who love everyone and treat each person equally but in reality she is just a plague and of a nameless insolence.

I take a small block note and hang over my pen waiting for the princess to talk.

" So, um...am not sure to be at the interview tomorrow cause I have other things to do. Um...for the concert of Thursday I would want to sing the second song of the new album instead of the fifth and lastly... I don't need anymore Ariana as my composer..." She said under my surprised face when she pronounced the last sentence.

" But Ariana composes well..." I said while cutting her off.

She looks at me surely surprised by my audacity, but what do I give a fuck. I think is very wrong from her to come and conspires about Ariana whom I know they are friends. How can she say such things, does she even know how to recognize talent?

" She composes great songs, I know that because you sing them..." I said while been a little bit categorical.

" Exactly...I sing them, it is my voice you hear and not hers, so it is me who decides what to do or not of my songs." She said wildly

Tension warm up in the room and hearing her speak so arrogantly make me boil of anger, I can't support someone mock about talent and music like that especially when she don't merit it.

"Your songs?  it clear that without Ariana, you can't sing." I said with anger before she get her hand to my jaw and slaps me.

I feel a great paint on my jaw. My hand on my cheek I turn my face to her trying to control my anger and looking at her with rage. I needed to slap her in return but no need to risk my job for her.

" Be very careful with your words, cause am not an easy one. If you really like your job, then stay at your place." She said before going out and closing hardly the door.

That is the second time someone tells me that today, it is true or they just tell this to hurt me. What I know is that, my day is ruined because of two stupid persons, Mr dictator and miss whore. Cursed they are!

I return to my office table and arrange my things ready to join Rose and go back home.

On the road, I can't stop thinking about anything else than this day who was particularly bad. I cross the way of two devils who made my day a mare.

" Are you okay Tiara?" Asked Rose

" Yes " I said dryly.

" Um... Yesterday you didn't tell me if Zack Brought you back home or not?" She asked.

Hearing his name, fill me up with anger and my mind disrupt when thinking about what he had done to me this morning. I look at my wrist who still pains me and try not to be aggressive with Rose when answering her.

" He brought me back home." I said calmly.

" What happens on your hand?" Rose asked me realising my wrist was band.

" Nothing just an accident." I said demoralized.

We finally arrived and I step down wishing a good night to Rose and going home. Jackson gave me a double key of the house this morning before going to work so that I shouldn't disturb myself ringing every time.

I take my keys and open the door. A delicious flavors passes through my nose. Ivy is surely cooking for her dinner. My cream puff welcome me and Ivy get out of the kitchen to welcome me too, I answered them just like a zombie by nodding my head in sign of "thank you". My mood is at zero and the only thing I would want is to take a bath and sleep.

Before that, I get to the kitchen and verify if Ivy needs my help.

" Don't worry, I am already done." She said while concentrating on her dinner.

" You know you shouldn't make so much efforts." I said still at the door.

" Yes that true, but Jackson helped me for the dinner don't wo..." She said while turning back to me and facing my hand strangely." What happened to your wrist?" She asked me while coming forward to me and holding softly my arm.

" A small accident don't worry." I said trying to hide my pain.

I excuse myself and go up to my room. While up, I take a bath and dressed up.

On my way to the parlor, I hear noise down. It most surely be Jackson and Ivy's friends. I get down from the stairs before realizing the worse thing that could happen to me before the end of this night. 

The two friends of Jackson and Ivy are Lola and Zack. I couldn't imagine having such badluck. Definitely, today is my worse day. Zack looks at me with surprise and Lola too look at me with surprise and a little bit of anger. If she tries to slap me once more now, then I will not retain myself and give her the double slaps she merits. My head and my wrist pains realizing I will spend the rest of this night with this two. Oh God!.

" Tiara... Come down." Said Jackson.

I come down gradually and appears infront of them. My eyes crosses Zack's own and the anger I read on his face this morning seems to have cold down. No matter... He hurts me and it all what I keep in mind.

" So, Tiara this is Zack  Torneur a friend I consider as my brother and you must surely know Lola parks the best singer of the moment." Jackson presents.

I nod without adding any words.

" And Zack, Lola this is..." Jackson starts before been cut off.

" Tiara frost" said Zack. " We already know ourselves right?" He asked.

I do not see the obligation of responding to him.

" How? "Asked Ivy surprised.

" She works in the label music." Said Lola.

" Ohh you didn't told us it was in madam Hillary's label music you worked." Said Ivy

" I forgot." I simply say " um...am going up for a while excuse me." I said while climbing up stairs.

Right to my room I realize I can't finish my night with those two people, just seeing their face gets me into anger, hearing their voices poison my ears . I can't sit around the same table with them.

" I have to check for an excuse not to go down. What should I say?... Oh yes that I have headache or stomachache...no that I feel as to vomit. Everything except joining them." I said to myself.

" So you want to escape from me?" A voice male asked.

I turn surprised and found Zack inside my room with a smirk, has he heard what I said? Shit!.

" What are you doing in my room?, get out from here sir." I said while going infront of him and trying to drag him outside.

He hold my painful wrist and look at me. I feel pain and show painful face when he touches my arm.

" Have you cured this? It seems you are still feeling pain." He said while looking at me.

I remove my arm from his control and order him to get out once more. He smiles and get out. I sigh of relief and go to my bed side in order to take some drugs for my headache. 

While taking the drug, two hands hang my waist and make me turn to the other side, forcing me to look at the person. Once more it is Zack and I am more closer to him than I would never imagine be. I could perfectly analyse his face traits, my hand hanging over his muscular arms and my eyes sinking into his light brown eyes. I look at him curious of what is happening. He pulls me with force to my bed and make me  lie down on my bed with him on top of me. What is he doing?

My eyes full of confusion and my heart knocking against my chest, I am trying to understand what is going on and why I am not doing anything to stop this moment, all what am doing is looking at him.

"How many times do you want me to tell you that stubbornness is a crime, angel " he said.

" Angel?" I asked with a low voice.

" Yes, cause the first time we looked at ourselves like now, you felt into my hands like an angel." He tells me.

Does he also like giving surnames?

He stands up and straight his hand for me to take it and get up too. Suddenly, what he did to me generate into my mind and anger too gain its way. I do not care about his help and decide to get up alone.

" Okay, so let me cure you?" He said

" Why? To repair what you did. Don't worry am alright." I said angrily and trying to get up from my bed.

He pulls me forcing me to sit down once more.

Without saying anything he takes the first aid box and get alcohol, put it on cotton and take my painful wrist.

" If ever you feel pain tell me." He said with a low voice.

Then he massaged my wrist hardly, so hardly that I didn't hesitate to give little cries of pains and making a weird face significant of my pains. I needed to hold something to attenuate the pain, so I decided to squeeze his shirt so hardly that you would had thought it was about to tear.

My eyes were closed, trying not to shout.

" Is okay now." He said.

I open my eyes and look at him then notice I was effectively squeezing his shirt. He smiles and forward his finger under my eyes, removing the drop of tears who came out from my eyes without me noticing. I remove my stares from him.

" Sorry." He said.

I took up my stares to him analyzing his face once more. He said sorry and it was as if all the anger i had for him cooled down. He band my wrist and advise me not to use it for now and tomorrow everything will be alright. 

I agree before he invites me to get down. While we gets down everyone were looking at us with suspicious regards.

" You lasted so long in the toilet Zack." Said Lola in a suspicious Marner.

Zack doesn't matter and continue getting down stairs without answering her. I needed to mock at her realizing she has been ignored by him.

Ivy is in the kitchen and I do not see any reason of staying here, so I join Ivy in the kitchen. 

" Hey can I help you?" I said with a smile.

" Ohh you are now smiling." She said

I didn't realize my mood became good and I don't know the reason, all is that I feel happiness in me.

" Tell me Tiara, are you very close to Zack at work?" Ivy asked me.

Why is she asking me this type of questions, is been two days I started working, how can I be close of him?

" No... We just saw ourselves few times but nothing important." I answer

" So, he doesn't flirt with you?." Ivy asked once more.

" Ivy, tell me what you want to tell me , stop turning around." I said living what I am doing and focusing on what she needs to tell me.

" Tiara, I know Zack and just for precautions don't ever fall in love with him no matter what he does. He is nice as friend but as partner he isn't the right person."

" Love? Are you really talking about love to me? You know what I think about love. " I said

" Yes I know..." 

" So why are you telling me something that will never happen even in my dearest dream. "

She doesn't talk and continue taking out the plats.

" Ivy, I will never fall in love, not now. You know I have something else to do and love doesn't make part of my objectives, in the contrary is useless. And how can you advise me on someone like Zack, he ressemble a playboy and it is clear he isn't made for relationship." I comfort her.

" But he is handsome, very handsome." She adds

" Yes that true but that is not what is important, he is a bad boy that's all." I said taking the plats to the parlor, hoping she made up her mind.

Falling in love? I chuckle realizing the mess she send out. Love isn't interesting for me I have other thing to do....

Hope you love it...
