Brooke's pov

The next morning I got up early to meet my employees at one of the restaurants not far from the office.

I walked in and saw everyone there including Katherine thinking about it I haven't heard anything from her since the fire.

"Good morning everyone thank you for meeting me here," I greet them with a smile.

They all greeted me back-friendly, "Did you order yet?" I asked them to which they reply with a no.

I called a waiter over telling them to order whatever they want and that I will pay for it.

As soon as the waiter left I began, "You all heard about the fire, we lost all our designs everything that means there won't be a fashion show to host this weekend," I sight thinking about all our hard work that was now ashes.

"Will we still be able to work?"

"Do we still have work?"

I didn't want to but something seemed a bit suspicious.Flashback to yesterday.Daniel came knocking on my door, "What do you want?" I asked him a bit harshly but I don't care."Hello to you too," he said walking in and sitting down at the chair. I look up from my computer and saw him looking around the office."What can I do for you?" I asked again."Have you found a replacement for Leah yet?" He asked still looking around."Not yet and what do you mean by replacement? Leah will be back after a few months," I informed him."Oh, yes I forgot but anyway did you find someone yet?" "Why?" I asked looking at my computer again. Fuck I have so much work I don't have time for small talks."My girlfriend Katherine is looking

Will she be alright?" I asked."Martin calms down, yes she will be just fine. She has flu and fever. I gave her medicine for the fever just now, she needs rest. I will give you the prescription for the medicine she needs to take after every meal."I feel relief after hearing what she said, "Thank you, I will quickly grab the pills."Charlie chuckled, "When you phoned me I thought she's dying the way you went on."I rub the nape of my neck and feel a bit stupid, "In my defense, I'm not a doctor.""Martin, it's alright I'm just teasing you. I'm glad to see you care about her," she smiled handing me the paper."Of course I do, but as a friend yes," I scold her."Oh please, even a blind person can tell y

I miss him though and I guess he also misses me, he has been calling me every day since he left making sure I'm alright. I have been sleeping in his bedroom and I found it easier to fall asleep at night especially if he calls me. We have been getting along pretty well for enemies. I'm on my way to the mall to get the snacks and some groceries for the house and our sleepover. I asked Samuel to drive me since Martin doesn't want me to drive by myself. The mall was busy mostly teenagers hanging around I guess that's what most teenagers do these days. I grabbed some chips, soda, chocolates, and other candies. When I was done getting everything I needed I walked to the checkout point. "Brooke?" I heard Daniels's voice behind me. "Oh hey, Daniel," I say taking out my card. "Don't worry I got it," he sa

"We weren't planning on watching chick flicks with you," Jackson said. Martin smiled at us and I can tell Payton almost wet her pants because of how gorgeous he looked. "See you later baby," Jackson said to Payton as she waved goodbye. "Later babe," Martin said surprising me yet again and I can feel my face heat up. I grabbed her hand and pulled her outside, "You know if I wasn't in a relationship with his best friend I would totally bang him," Payton said smiling at me. "You do realize that is my husband?" I asked her suspiciously. She raised her eyebrows at me, "Oh so for you it went from asshole and devil to my husband and for him f

The poking continued and I try to remove it only to get a groan from someone behind me. I take it in my hand and try to move the huge thing that's been poking me again but this time the groaning got louder and I immediately remember I fell asleep on the couch with Martin and I quickly realized what it is that I'm holding in my hands. My eyes widen in shock and I jump forward in shock falling once again on my face. Laughter causes me to look up with a scowl on my face and I glare at him for laughing. "You know what I think?" He laughs. "What?" "I think you like the floor more than you like me." "Shut up I didn't ask for your opinion," I glare at him. "I didn't do anything," he said holding his hands up. "It's your fault," I continue to glare at him. "How is my f

What the hell did you do?I try to get out of Martin's arms but the more I move the more he pulled me closer.Great!"Martin!" I whispered but got no reaction.I try again but this time a little louder, "Martin!" That did the trick but instead of letting me go, he pulled me with him when he fell off the bed and this is how I ended up on top of him."Why did you have to yell like that?" He asked looking at me."Because you were clinging to me like an octopus," I replied wanting to stand up but he holds me down."I'm sorry."I looked at him, "For what?""For everything, for being a jerk to you yesterday and making you fall today," he whispered.Oh boy if only you know that I have already fallen for you!That's not what he meant! My subconscious reminds me.Oh!"It's alright but you have to start taking care of your health you can't keep going on like this," I whispered back."I will try harder
