 “ How are you feeling now?” 

 “ fine”

  

“ You resumed  rather early, wasn’t expecting you till tomorrow” asher said ,still staring at is phone, “ uhm well, i got bored” i replied, swinging from the base of my feet to my toes, “ hmm, you could hang out, take the day off if you want, to there’s no much work that cannot be shifted till tomorrow” 

   He would have said that when he had me working all night on a missing file, “ well, i have no place in mind, that catches my interest” 

    “no problem with that, you can resume work now,” nodding in approval, I walked out of his office, once again he switched off his light, it doesn’t faze me like it did earlier, but it keeps my in a state wonder, what does he do in total darkness , throughout the day, and still with her eyes closed at night.

    Seen a lot of weirdo my life time,but haven’t seen someone  so obsessed with darkness, yet hovers in a white safe haven.

    Look down on my work for day, I shouldn’t have resumed knowing there isn’t much to say, but I would rather stay here than dwell in thoughts all day, thinking of it  there isn't much to do, other than checking our past adverts and how much traffic it had. 

   “ guess who has a present!!’ Jose  said as he hops in, rocking back and forth, , once more I find myself dazed by his charisma.

  “ bling bling, mysterious love” he said , as he dropped a box on my table, my belly knotted at the sight of a ribbon wrapped box, what does Axel  have for me this time?, looking at the dark room ahead then back at the box before me asher, must be seeing this, “ hm jose can you do me a favor, ?”

   “ anything for you bonita”

  “ please don't bring any of this to the table anymore, any present brought in should be kept till lunch break, deal?” he winks then taps the table as he hops down, ,” i have some balance to meet up, text me the content of the box would you  '' he blows a kiss,  then walks away.

   Such a jovial man.

     Now lets see what he has for me, pulling out a card, ‘call me’ boldly written on it, with glitter, I would be damned if he was the one who sprinkled the glitter himself, if there's one  similarity with the lopez, its their old fashion sense, they can be so unnecessarily archaic in nature.

   Anna had sent an interview letter  through a mail asher sent his through a letter, now Axel, funny how they have so little in common, with screaming differences, looking back inside, I see a box of phone and two movie tickets.

     Another card comes into view, ‘oh thou glamourous one, would you mind sitting in the bosom of a cozy room, watching humans act their best on a flat screen’ it gets me everytime.

   My eye puckered  back to the dark room, he must be seeing this, he never really says much, hard to tell if he’s pleased by it or not, besides I am just opposite drop ,I wonder what he must be thinking, does he know it’s from Axel?, what if he does?, it's quite unprofessional  to accept  gifts  while on duty, it wasn’t stated ?.

   Hours passed and I couldn’t be any more happier to leave. Two hours felt like a century, it’s my day off. I should be sleeping, damn right I should, first thing I do is park up the loose file, not like I had much to do with any of these. 

   The stomping sound of feet, pulls my attention towards the open door, as Asher walks out, once again his cloak around his body, and a warm fur over his head.

  Weird 

    He walks past my table without taking the quickest glance, and will take that as a goodbye, bending to grasp the box from underneath as I see his legs.

   “ noa would pick you up, we have urgent work at my place, you might be sleeping over” he said, then walks out before i could give a reply.

   Work? 

   ******************* 

   “Does  the lopez always behave like this, it’s beginning to picss me off” i said with a folded arm, my pulsating heart beating hard against my chest, as I sagged on the car seat, with a tiresom look I stare at the man holding the wheels.

     “ i have known them all my life bonita, you will get used to it  “ he said 

   “ like he cuts me off”

  “ they are strict”

   its not cool”

  “ they are business oriented “

  “ but…” 

   “ i know, i know, how about this, anytime, wanker  pisses you off, you take a deep breath , or mayber five minutes walk, then  back to you duties” she said taking a U turn.

   “ i  could take all the break I want but coming back there, it’s like my effort are invisible to him”, his voice echoed in the enclosed car, holding his Chest with his feee hands, “ oh darling…”, willing the tear beads at the corner of his eye 

  “ dear, you are everything but Invisible to wanker, he sees everything” he added, as he grasped the wheel once more with his  free hands.

    “ how long have you known him?”

  “ well, its a long story, but how do i put it, he saved me, when I was little , ran off a park, missed our way, for a while , had  the worst experince as a child” he said, as he pulls over.

   “ lost? you were los? ?”

  “ yes, but oh well things do happen right?” He smiles in a way that doesn’t reach his eyes, and if I read that well it wasn’t a heart felt smile as pain registered in his eyes. 

I would really love to know more as ny curiousity piqued my mind.

   

      The car comes to a slow halt, as he steps out of the car, my puzzled mind had successfully made my legs wonky, as I stare at the open door, “ well, we kinda step out of the vehicle in situations like this” as he stretched his hands, pulling me out of the car.

  “ snap out of it, you will get used to everything” looking at his nicely parted lips, as his smiled cleared the lump settling down my throat, “ thanks noa”, pulling him for a hug, quite unprofessional knowing I had known in for less than a week, but I just need some closeness.

   “ see you tomorrow” he said patting my back, as he walks over to the car, “ bye noa” he beams back at me, before hopping into the car.

      “Dont be too pissed, he’s actually lovely ” he winks one more time  then zooms off. 

   Loving you say?, he’s rude and wierd, has no regard for workers, overly narcissistic, and worse of all my boss.

     Reaching for the bell, I don’t get to ring it before the door opens, why do I even brother, he had obviously seen me pulled over, looking at the camera beside me, a myriad of silly faces poked my mind, as I fight the urge not to stick my tongue out at it.

   He deserves a silly look.

    Walking in, the scent of nicely polished wood piqued my sense as I gawked at the simplicity, quite different from the facade I had seen earlier.

  

     The chairs were pitch black, unlike the white chairs he had in the house I had seen earlier, his wall were as white as snow, and a glossy grease look, lined up painting, all rainbow like.

   Who would have guessed he was a fan of so much color?, running my hands through its rough surface, so delicate, just then a familiar aura verwjlemes me, as it becomes dark suddenly, my fingers danced to the pace of my heart as I froze still 

   “  Welcome, rose” 

   “ uhm uhm” I stuttered trying to regain my sanity as I clenched my fist behind my back.

   “ here's your work for the day”

   Pointing at the table, I box which had slip my line of sight when I came in, comes in view, “ it a puzzle, 1000 piece puzzle, i would like you to put  them all in other for me”

   “Puzzle?”

   “ yes puzzle rose, it help with your agility , and intellect”

  Looking at him bemused , he gave a  cocky smile, as he tucked his hands back in his pocket, “ will come check on you” he said, trailing up the stairs ,he called me here, for  a puzzle?, i left a date, for a fucking puzzle? How petty can he be? .

   Damn you asher Lopez, damn you!

   It's been thirty minutes, making an attempt to fix a puzzle, all the parts seem to belong to a different puzzle as nothing seems to merge, minutes turned to hours to decades as sat on my butt, totally spent.

  Tears pricked my eyes as I stared  at the interference pieces. When am I going to fix all his puzzles? I shouldn't be doing this at all.

   My phone rings in my pocket distracting pulling my from agony gradually settles in my heart 

   Fuck  it’s axel!.

  Looking at the time, just 20 mins before the movie starts .

    Asher pov I have seen people less bothered about where they sleep, but Rosalie is one of a kind, even when given a task, she had slept in the middle of the road, on a very lonely and chilly night with no care whatsoever, what would i have expected. Looking at the unfinished puzzle, that’s absurd, everything looks so mismatched, even with the reference laying dormant beneath her wet drool covered cheek, so silly. Walking towards her, her hair laying diligently on her face, lifting it off, my eyes caught a name that made my mind whirl in seconds. Guess the punch wasn't enough, how stupid…Taking my phone, “ i had told you to stay away from her” i said, trying hard enough not to yell, as I observed little miss taking a nap. “ Axel I wouldn’t hold back next time if I see you close to her”, my heart boiled like it had just been tossed in a furnace , “ keep your words to yourself, I don’t care”, cutting him off, I shove my phone back into my pockets.

    Rose pov Was he pissed? That's a stupid question to ask; obviously he was pissed; how else would he send me back to the lodge, just after a call? “dumb ass”. I said, smacking myself in the head as I stared at the chicken and waffles he had just sent. Does he know it was Axel calling? Who am I kidding? He knows; he's not stupid; he probably knows everything, even if he never speaks out of the ordinary. He knows every damn thing going on. Closing my eyes, as I ease the frustration, I realize maybe I shouldn’t have hugged it, no matter how inviting it felt, I know I shouldn’t have, and maybe that’s why he got pissed That explains everything So Stupid That must be the reason. I probably crossed my limit. I took my phone and pulled up our past messages—nothing more than office work and tasks. Bringing up personal matters shouldn't be sent through here; I should say them in person. No, the earlier the better. What if he s

    Seated in a coffee house with Miss Lopez, her hands rested on her eyes as she stared warmly at me, just like the first day I saw her. “Coffee?” she asked so sweetly, I wouldn't dare reject it. “Sure thing,” I said. Just like a magic wand, she waves a hand, and in seconds a waiter is standing beside her, saying, “We would like two cups of coffee." Her voice is firm and authoritative, and in a jiffy he is out of sight and out of mind. “Oh darling, I am so delighted you showed up,” she said, stretching her hand as she held mine in hers. Just like the thought of bliss, I found myself smiling back at her. “It's an honor to have tea with you,” I said, not hiding my delight. She grin with her hands on her chest. “You are so sweet,” she said, still smiling. It’s beginning to seem like it’s a usual gesture, as she reciprocated the same with the waiter who just dropped off our cups. “Thank you,” i replied, whilst taking a sip from my mug. “ Yes, I must be wondering why I
