Stay tuned...
Scared?I wasn't scared.Freaked out, now that was more accurate.Derek's appearance yesterday struck a nerve within me so much so that I couldn't sleep. What worried me most was the fact he had Adam in his sight, he knew we were involved and I did not know what exactly he was capable of. I dont know Derek, his sudden obsession with me made no sense. Why go to all this trouble for someone he only saw three times in his life? He left me with many questions, luckily I knew someone who could hopefully answer a few."Hey!" I say as I wall in the cafe where Enzo and Julia are waiting for me. "I hope I didn't leave you waiting long, I had to wait for Miguel to return with Autumn so he would drive with me." They turn their heads towards the door where Miguel is standing."Since when do you go around with a bodyguard?" Enzo asks."Ever since Derek started following me around." Julia and Enzo exchange surprised looks before turning back towards me."The art guy, from the class?" Julia asks. "Y
"So am I gonna get an answer?" Adam asks as it seems the shock gave me a pause. He sent the flowers to my apartment, the same place I ordered my doorman not to accept any on my behalf. "I dont know, I wasn't at the apartment today. But thank you for the thought." What? It's not a total lie. It's what I tell Enzo and Julia with my shoulder shrug."Isn't there a way you could show your appreciation for my lovely thought?" Adam asks his voice back to his usual sweet domineer."That's what thank you is for," I say."Tsk, tsk, tsk... is that all I'm worth to you? I thought you might wanna come back to my place and show me some love." I want to... I really really want to yet I dont know how smart that is. I dont know who could be watching."I dont know. We are just days away from the wedding and Mom is going over everything like crazy. She might need me." At this stage of the game, she prefers if everyone just leaves her alone. The guests cut down and hit her like crazy but Autumn wanted a
"I can't believe it's your prom night. You grow up so fast, my baby is 18." Mom said as she took pictures of me in my prom dress. "Mom enough with the pictures, please," I begged her. "Hey let me make some memories, I already feel bad enough that I have to go to work. I won't even get to see your date.” Mom said as she laid down the camera and came to hug me. “Even though I was so proud of you for achieving this scholarship I always worried about how they would treat you in that private school.” She said as she brushed my curls. "Well I didn't really care about fitting in, I was there to learn, to get opportunities for college. But I managed to make a friend or two."And that friend that's taking you to prom, is there any chance he will become a boyfriend in the future?" As close as I am with Mom I never really talked to her about Domenic. "Don't you need to go to work now Mom?" I try to turn the conversation. "Uhh the old change the topic scheme, fine fine I'm leaving but I will
All of a sudden I was woken up by the sound of my alarm clock. I can't believe that nightmare is back, I was doing so good. Why was it back now? I rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face, it's been more than ten years since that night yet I still can't forget about it. The nightmare always seems to find me. I got dressed quickly and got ready for work. Luckily I don't live far away, living above where you work has some privileges. The first two floors are my library cafe, I have to say I'm proud of myself for what I created. It's a perfect place to enjoy a good book or work on paper while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee accompanies you while sharing a conversation with a friend.The third floor I made into my apartment, I still own my mother's house but since her passing, I just kind of stay here.I got downstairs just as Jess, the girl who works for me opened the cafe. "Morning boss." She said as she put her apron on."Morning Jess, can you please prepare the la
That voice, it cant be him. "What old lady?" Summer asked him. He opened a file he had in his hands. "Sarah James." My mother. "My brother, you are very misinformed. I know the owner of this place." Summer looked in my direction. "Autumn come to meet my brother, Domenic this is Autumn." When he turned around, I... I thought my world shattered all over again. At least he looked as shocked as me while Summer just stared at us. "Autumn, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Summer asked me. "Autumn." Domenic said my name. He looked older yes, but more handsome than ever. "As it turned out my brother is the shark that wants to buy this place." Summer smacked him on the shoulder. "Your brother? You are a Davis Jones?" I asked shocked, she said she was Summer Danes. "Yes, wait you two know each other?" Do we know each other? No, we don't. The man that I knew never existed. I'm going to be sick. "We went to the same high school." Domenic said. His voice made me more s
We said goodbye and I went the rest of my day feeling a lot better about the situation between me and Summer. Later she sent me a text about where we were gonna meet up, It's a good thing I looked at the restaurant before going otherwise I would have come in jeans. I put on my green dress that suited my eyes and looked lovely with my chocolate brown curly hair. I got there a bit early and while I waiting I scrolled on my phone until I sensed Summer sat down at the table. "Took you long enough." I said as I set my phone down, but when I looked up I saw Domenic sitting in front of me. "First of all Summer has nothing to do with this, she is coming I just told her driver to take a few wrong turns. She wouldn't corner you like this." Stay calm Autumn, you already gave him the satisfaction of seeing you affected by his presence. "She wouldn't, but obviously you would." I said as I took a sip of water, my throat suddenly felt as dry as a desert. He scratched his beard and tugged at his e
I tried to go by my days not thinking about him. But it wasn't easy. All of a sudden I even dreamed about him. The tipping point for me was when I came home to find a basket full of sweets I used to love, records of the music I used to listen to, a copy of my favorite book, and my old perfume. The rage suddenly grew inside my chest, my heart was beating like crazy while I took my phone and called Summer. "Where the hell is your brother?" "At this time he is at work, why?" She asked intrigued. "Just send me the address, I'll explain later. And don't tell him I'm coming." I grabbed the basket and made my way to his workplace. Apparently, Summer called and let the security know I was coming so they let me in. His secretary on the other hand wasn't so welcoming, but I pushed past her into his office. "I'm so sorry Mr.Davis I tried to stop her." She apologized. "It's alright Melody, you can leave." He said as he got up from his chair. Damn, why does he have to look so hot in that
Two weeks have passed and sure enough, Domenic has kept insisting on talking to me. He didn't come in person every time but the flowers have kept coming in every day."Dinner?" was the only thing written on the card today. The card I threw away and the flowers I gave to Ms, Robin, it would be a shame to throw them into the trash."Do you wanna do something tonight? See a movie or something?" I asked Summer."Ohh I can't tonight. I have a date?" She said happily."With whom?" I asked as I put down a cup and threw a rag on the counter."A guy I meet online." "Why are you meeting people online? You are Summer Davis Jones for God's sake, men are literally chasing you." I say in disbelief."That is because they are after the Davis Jones part, not the Summer part." I can't relate to that problem but I can understand."And this guy isn't?""Well, he is meeting Summer Danes, so…” Ohh I almost forgot about the last name trick she uses."Right, that word game you play with your last name.
