Rosalie pov
There’s this pain in my head that just proves that hell is real, it hurts so much, even opening my eyes is a threat already, I hear whispers, familiar whispers of a familiar voice. As my eyes lashes flickered open, the environment is familiar, it’s my room, in Kate’s apartment, what am I doing back here?, uncertainty settle in my heart as I survey the room, nothing changed, the window were open and with the look of things it’s dawn. Anna is talking outside, and it’s not a whisper, it’s an argument, my head bangs making me wince gently as I held my head firmly with my hands. What am I doing back here?I should be at the interview. Oh I was done with the interview, then I got attacked by bat, before… a man, I saw a man, naked man, before me, he was hairy, and he had long hair, just below his chin. “ hey rose, thank goodness you are awake, come to the living room” Anna said as she combed her hair with her hands, she so worried, why?, what is going on the front porch?. “ come” she said sighing before leaving, I follow suit, still stressed in my pencil skirt and sheffon top from the interview earlier, I scamper towards the living room, as fast as I could. Kate was standing on the front door, “ who is with my car?, I am asking you for the last time” she says pacing back, her car?, the bats, the last time I saw the car the bats were playing around with them. “ hey kate, uhm the car?” I say trying to find my words as my head hurts, the living room soin slightly as I tried to find my footing, “ yes, after you were dropped by the wind yesterday, I couldn’t find my car, just to wake this morning to a brand new car” she said Her words make my eyes pop, “ dropped by the wind?” My heartbeat quickened, how was I dropped by the wind? “ yes yea, I heard the doorbell ring and I went out to open the door, after calling you ten million times, just to find you laying on my porch, so yea you were dropped by the wind” she says glaring at the man. “ ok, if you can’t tell me where the heck my car is, why don’t you tell me, who assigned you to get a f brand new car, it’s the latest version for crying out loud” she says. The man dressed in shorts, didn’t say a word, he had sun glasses on, a palm tree based t-shirt and some sweet slides, he looked rich enough to get the car as well, “ my boss wouldn’t want that” he said, he had a boss?, who would look this sweet and still have a boss?. “ who the fuck is your boss!” She yells, the man stares at me, “ good morning ma’am” he said, looking at me from top to bottom then smirks, before leaving, that was just odd, way too odd, “ hey come back here!” Kate pursues him, leaving me standing totally stupefied by what just happened. Nothing makes sense at all, how did I get here?, by wind, who the fuck rides on wind, and a brand new car, who gets a total stranger a BMW? What is going on here?, flashes of the last real scene i witnessed, was back at the creepy company, with the beautiful,most sexy man woman I had ever seen, i picture her image in my head smiling at me, and it eases the pain on my head gently. “ Hey Anna, you good? “ Kate said as she arched a brow at me, “ nope “ I whispered, aching a brow at her as I spread my arms in confusion, what’s here to be not confused about, yesterday I had a simple car, now I have a BMW parked outside. And I came in contact with an actual werewolf, “ werewolf” I said as realization, struck me, “ a were what?” She asked if I could see her eyes popping as wide as mine, “ yes, Kate, I saw a werewolf a naked one, and he had long hair, so beautiful, nice abs, like I saw a werewolf!” I said pacing around. “ hey, are you saying a werewolf brought you back home?” She said following me, “ yes, I got stuck in the car, after being attacked by bats, then I hit my head on the car, before pacing put”, I said trying my best to remember what actually happens “ bats?, she asked awestruck, “ yes kate, after the weird interview, I got attacked by bats, and then the cars refused to work, same was the network, I said to her, she rolled eyes, “ so the car not working does it explain why we got the neighbors eye on us, there’s a BMW outside?!, She said pointing at the living room door, “ I know, and I don’t know what to do or say, it was a weird night Jauna , and I had the strangest interview of all times, I was literally yelled at, just to pass the interview” I said she sches a brow at me “ what do you mean?” “ a musculine woman, interviews me by yelling, and we were the only one in the building, and worse of all, she was way too fast, I didn’t Meet her when I dropped back down, and you need to see that she's so beautiful with longs hair. “ a woman, is she therequirements boss?” She asked, using her hands to check my temperature, she must see me as a psycho to speak something inhuman like “ no, she’s not the boss, there’s probably someone who is higher” i said, as fear crept into my heart, this unknown person I would be of assistance to, reeks of so much power that even in his absence I will be frightened. I bet that sexy woman was just there to see how gullible I am, I am totally doomed, she said she would send me the , I hope it won’t be coming through mails, “ mails?” Kate asked as she stride towards the home computer. “ hey the mail is here!” She yells“ well, Rosalie Garcia, you got a real job!, in your hands” she laughs as she skims through the email, her mouth wide open in awe, “ hey don’t scare me, what is in there” I urged, “ come see for yourself” she said pointing her hands at the vacant space before the laptop, Always be on spotless white, no skirts allowedYour work resumes as early as 6am at a given location The boss has your full attention till 12am You are not allowed to yell back at your boss when being sanctionedNeatness should be a priority, in and out A log like behavior would not be toleratedYou are allowed to do every chore for the boss aside sexual assistance, except on a mutual agreementAll paper works Would be done by you as a well trusted person If paper works are way too much to handle you could share with a co worker You would travel everywhere with the boss, except with Down with serious illness The list goes on, but reading it would cause more harm to my already pained head, Ding!
Rosalie Garcia you can do this, I know you can, I said to myself, falling back on the car seat for the tenth time in seconds,my car was parked outside the most luxurious building in the I had seen in a while Looking at the time boldly written on my phone, I have just two minutes before I become officially late for work, stepping out, I exhale again in the yogic way before taking my first stride forward, you can do this rosalie. Ringing the front bell, it chimes, but yet no response. It's 6 o'clock already, ringing again, as my fist forms a hard ball , never felt this anxious in like forever, i hear hinges unlock, same with the door, the breath of fresh air feels my nostrils, smells different too, something minty , I imagined a butler opening the door but with the silence, and weird creeks, no one is here . It must be automatic Walking into the lobby the ties were sparkling white, if i weren't stepping on them i would have assumed they were animated, for a moment my fa
Asher povI stare at Rose from the TV installed in the wall just before me , funny how she doesn’t remember me. I had thought when she was clumsy earlier it was because she remembered something from our last encounter, but I was wrong, she's just so clumsy and timid. Images of her flushed face take a quick stroll through my mind, even the ride home from our last encounter, she had been so clumsy, she fainted , what if she got kidnapped?,or maybe taken advantage of, what if i have not gone on a stroll that night?What if? Looking at her, she taps a few times on the tablet then drops it, walks around then combs her hair gracefully with her hands, i could tell she wasn't as comfortably, with a quick wave of her head she surveyed the room, I watch her pair her eyes at everything, i know my taste is finicky, but it's just the way i like it, spotless, just like the endless blue in the sky . Seating back down, she sags to the chair, what terrifies her this much, i can't have an
Rosalie pov“He's a vampire jauna,i know what I'm saying” pacing around, my room with a bottle of mountain dew, " i know what i am saying” she seats down saying nothing , just smirking at me, “ it's just one day and you are already worked up, calm down’ ‘'now tell me, what did he do” “ well, he has insane eyes, hes super quiet, like as silent as the wind in the morning i dont know when he is coming, fuck he terrifies me, and secondly i have this feeling that he read minds too” for a momnemt it felt dumb, but then i remember i was the only one in the position. “How do you mean he read minds" “ jauna. The moment i concluded he was not a human, his word were, ‘ stop your superstitious belief’, who just comes up top a worker, and says ' stop your superstitious belief', you have been working for a while, this isn't the era of witches and flying pigs you know" " and I have been having countless nightmare after the_after the interview my instincts tell me this path isn't for
“ what are you going to do now?" With a worried look, she rested her head on her palm, " I know I wanted you to take this job, but maybe I was high yesterday you really don't have to listen to me, even though I am wiser" " screw you", laughing at our nonchalantly words , as we stare at the deem light, good times right? " being serious, you won't be the first to Disappoint them" " I want to try it out, not because of you, maybe it's in my head" " rosy_ " she bends over, resting her palm on my thighs, her eyes staring whole at me, " I would take your Harry Potter collections, and toss them into the trash can, sue your book club for disturbing the peace of the earth, and ask your mom to adopt me when you are nowhere to be found, and did I mention your Harry Potter I will burn them " Her dark humor makes ,my heart sink, jauna and I had contracting likes and dislikes but this right here was gold a sister I wasn't given by my mom, but the universe on the first day In c
Asher pov Seven hours to peru and she decided to stare at me, instead of sleeping, since we board the plane she had held unto her endless cup of coffee, i had tried so hard not to pay any attention to those finger drumming mildly on that coffee flask. Flipping to the nest page on the magazin, i couldn't even summarize what i had just flipped though if it saves a life, not even mine, why does she stares so intensive, looking towards her, she chokes slightly, before turning to face the window. “ are you done with the detail on th tablet” i said breaking the silence, she gives a waxing crescent smile, “ yes" I could tell she shuddered just now,why is she so anxious, is she like this or just around me, before anna called about the embezzlement , i had been so certain i won't be seeing this shy mess of a lady, now i would be with her for heaven knows how long. “ you know sleeping now will conserve more energy, i know you were sleeping and woken by RJ, so why don'
Rosalie pov Damn you rose, damn you, i curse beneath my breath as i try so hard to keep a poker face, staring at nothing in particular, day two working as a personal assistant, i get yelled at, nice job rose, way to go, i mentally kick myself as sarcasm take a toil of me. Taking a quick glance at Asher, he had his hands covered by his muff, so neatly I would have imagined they were non-existent, his lips screwed into a tight line, as he stares at the back of car seat like he wasn't the one who just went optimus on me now, how can he be so indifferent. The car comes to a slow halt as at the company's parking lot , asher doesn't make any move, making me wonder if he intended on going out, do I need to open the door for him as well, " uhm" He Doesn't say anything, instead all I hear is long breath. Being confined here can't be any more awkward than this, " asher " , noa calls out hitting the top of the car, breaking the unspoken war between us, noa opens the door, pu
“ His hands, i saw his hands, Juana, it had scares, there were burns, real burns, I know what i am saying”my restless body,rolling from one edge of the bed to the other. “ i don't know J , he didn't tell me when i would be coming back, if i can recall, Mr white has no idea when his good old assistant would be back home_” “ yes i know the pay is high but _” “ i don't need a therapist or psychiatrist, he is not normal, and if i have to spend unending days here, just to prove it to you, I fucking will!”, tossing my phone to the end of the bed, ever since I got this job, my mental health had been the least stable. Sigh Looking around, it's hard, bringing up a weird scenario, with people who could afford such luxury with just a flip of their finger, being in a 5 star suite hotel lodge, would be a peak, in an average girl's bucket list. Looking at the haphazard light just outside the see-through glass wall of my hotel, from the weird comfort of my palm, clasped m
Tossing my bag on the bed, it's been more than just a long day, it's been a day, i wouldn’t want to reoccur , if only i was given an headstart before any day, I wouldn’t bother standing up in the first place, or maybe, just maybe, i could navigate through all that has happened today. Seeing a different side of Asher, he had always been one to conceal his intentions , always composed, but seeing him argue with Axel today , he must really be upset, it’s normal for brothers to fight once in a while, but totally not agreeable is weird. Why should i care, i had less than thirty days staying here, and that should be the least of my worries, slumping back on the bed, I can’t help but think back to when he held my hands, what does that mean, no one just hold hand that way, he even placed them in his pocket. It’s now more of a habit, than just a gesture, making my heart skip, hopes of a possible fantasy being fulfilled, that sensation down the gut whenever a crush tal
Rose pov Seated at the back of Asher’s car, with Axel at the front seat, he hadn’t said a word ever since the little fight over whose car to board, just occasional sighs and hisses ,quite different from what i had expected , we finally arrived at the hospital,and miss lopez had just batted an handkerchief over her eyes as she darts them around. she had been the first to catch my attention from the view, before asher did, he quickly opens the door, then hops around, Axel did the same, he pulls the handle of the car but it seemed jammed, asher turns over pressing a button on his key before he leans over opening the door. For a second they stare heatedly at each other, then at me, I could feel my will sink down my gut, as they wouldn’t avert their gazes, even when I squirm, “ oh asher'' I hear miss lopez say, asher looks at her, then opens the door, before he walks over to his mother. I haven’t had the opportunity to ask what was going on, as words had bartere
Asher pov “What are you looking for here, aren't you supposed to before a moving train?”, axel stood beside me, arm crossed on his chest, heaven knows what he really wants coming here, but whatever it is, wouldn’t arouse my hopes of something positive. Isn’t it too early to be jobless, “ hey beasty, your worst nemesis” he said looking back at the see through glass, his tone was nothing far from mockery, and with the smug smile, he was well aware he had hit a mail right where it needed, “ leave”. “ I am so scared” he said, waving his fingers all over my face, “ I am not here for you, I have better things” narrowing his eyes across the office, his face lit up immediately he bestowed his eyes on her. As suspected. “ Hey rose!” he yells, walking towards rose, who just stood immobile, she had her hands straightened before her, for some reasons she looks flushed. Axel pulled her against his body for a hug, she should have resisted, b
Breath through it rose, what’s the worst that can happen?. Walking past the lobby, with my head bowed gently, greeting people so early without my morning coffee wasn’t something I would do, on a day like this Anxiety flicks in, as my thoughts are haywire. I had ignored his message, but I kept staring at it all through the night. Did he want to say sorry for being so inhuman yesterday?, or maybe he just wants to come fix up a dumb puzzle, he could be up to anything for all i care, he asher Lopez, he's capable of anything. Not today, the shoot for the advert would be made today, i had put my all in this , making countless calls, being creative, and i won't let some stupid event ruin it, never, walking towards my desk, i take a quick peck at his office, he's not around Phew. Taking a seat hurriedly, I hope he doesn't come now, i can't really think right now, not with his weirdness lingering around, but it all comes to an end when whispered audible . Asher?. H
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
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
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. Damn him
“ 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’
ding! A sound I had not yet gotten used to, even when it resounded in my clumsy mind over and over again, why so persistent?, even As a human, I haven’t been persistent in getting my job done. My lazy eyes finally opened, as I blinked owlishly at the high golden ceiling, when did I come back to the lodge?. Looking down at my body, I was still dressed in my office attire with the odd brightness before me. It's morning already . morning?!, yelping from the bed, as I strip my office attire, my feet aches so badly, as they had been confined in this Pencil heel all night long, it burns so much, had me leaping as I scavenge for clothes to put on The doorbell rings again, for the fifth time, pulling my attention to the main source of what actually woke me up so early, who had been so patient to continuing ringing at the door, walking towards the door, peeking through the peephole, I see a lady dressed in all white, probably a staff in the hotel, opening the door, i let h
