Third Person POVBrielle finished putting her hair in ponytail and sighed as she looked into the mirror. Today was Delilah's big day and everything needed to be perfect... In Killian's mind for that matter. She was slowly growing to hate the beautiful man even more than she did and now she truly wondered if it was healthy how she had him constantly on her mind.She didn't know why these emotions were getting the best of her and she knew she had to find a way to control them. Getting up she walked over to her bed and started getting her purse ready. She heard a knock on the door and she looked up to see Killian leaning against her door frame in a burgundy suit looking over dressed as always." You and these suit colors never seize to amaze me. " She said pulling on her boots and he chuckled at her." It's a special occasion. Black and navy blue would never do at a princess party. " She smiled at his antics and stood up walking to her bathroom to finish up while Killian kept his eyes tr
Third Person POVBrielle finished getting dressed and she sighed as she looked out of the window. It was pouring rain and this weather in the city was never a good thing. The traffic was terrible, the people were more rude than usual and the worse part was-She closed her eyes and winced once she heard the harsh coughs of Delilah in her room followed by a series of sneezes.-Delilah. Every time it rained or snowed a little too much, her immune system would act non existent and she would catch every little disease or cold known to man. Walking out of her room she went over to Delilah's and opened the door slowly. There she saw the little girl sitting up in her bed with a red nose and bloodshot eyes. She made eye contact with her and Delilah raised her arms as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Brielle quickly rushed over to her and picked her up. Her body was hot but she was shivering." B-B-Bribri.. I-I's no f-feel good. " Brielle shushed her as she sat on the bed cradling her in
Third Person POV" Who's Eugene? "Brielle froze in her place as she all of a sudden felt lightheaded. She looked up at Killian who was analyzing her shift in mood and waited patiently for her to respond. " He's... my brother. I don't like talking about him much because Delilah will ask questions and that leads to me.. trying not to break down a few minutes later. "" I've never heard you mention him once since we've been around each other. What happened if you don't mind me asking. "" He went to the army when I was 16 and he's never been home since. He used to call twice a month maybe even three times to make sure I was ok but after a few years the calls got slower and eventually he just stopped. It's been almost a year and I haven't heard from him once. " Brielle said and she couldn't help the small tear that escaped her eye. Killian continued to stare at her and eventually more fell. He felt himself wanting to move to wipe them away but she shook her head." I'm sorry " She whisp
Killian's POVWalking into the penthouse I sighed as I looked at the time. I'd sent Brielle and Delilah here a while ago while we were at the office and I knew she was still upset. I wish I could say she was wrong for being upset but she has every right to be. Placing my briefcase on the counter, I heard the footsteps of Benjamin and he came and stood by me not saying a word. I looked him in the eye and I could tell he knew what happened." I'm not in the mood for it tonight Benjamin. "" I could say the same for myself but if I leave you alone you might do something wrong again. "" I'm sure I will. " I said rolling my eyes and he grabbed my things and shrugged." She's been in the living room ever since she put the little one to bed. Stop by and have a chat with her will you? " He walked away and I sighed as I made my way to my bedroom. Pushing the door open I quickly took my clothes off and jumped into the shower. Finishing off after a while, I got dressed in a pair of grey joggers
Killian's POVI waited by the stairs as Brielle was almost finished getting ready. I was planning on taking her to a restaurant named Midnight Lotus. Sure an appetizer costs around $200 and a reservation itself is $300 but I couldn't think of a better place to take her. Also I own the establishment so we'll be at an advantage with reservation schedules and meal preps. Looking down to my phone I sighed as Calvin sent me a message.Lockewood: Hello Killian. I've noticed you've been avoiding my calls.. no matter. I want to formally invite you to my son's gala this Friday as it would make me very please if you and Brielle were to come. I'm sure Blaine has already informed you of this since I sent him the invitations. And if you come.. I'm sure I'll have enough surprises to make your time worthwhile.. TataI rolled my eyes and screenshotted the message while sending it to Blaine." Such a fucking idiot. " I muttered and my head snapped when I heard some tsk." Bad word Killy " I looked to
Killian's POVI pushed my semi wet hair out of my face as I made my way to the kitchen. Tonight was very interesting. All throughout the rest of the night Brielle kept her 'anger' at a minimum and we actually enjoyed ourselves for the time being. Once we got back to the penthouse she quickly got unready in her room and has been in the living room ever since. I didn't exactly want to bring up the conversation earlier with her but it's never left my mind once.Brielle doesn't need a boyfriend. She needs a man and the small commitment of being a boyfriend emphasizes the word boy and friend. Your not a man and your never quite over the line of being a really good friend. It was clear that I wasn't some boy and I didn't want to be just friends. We've never been friends in my mind. She's only been mine.I've never had female friends. It would either lead to a one way relationship or others thinking I was in the friendzone or desperate. I don't intend to be either with Brielle. Hence why she
Third Person POVBrielle didn't say a word as she felt her heart being crushed. Killian noticed her sudden change in character walked a little closer to her." M-Marissa? " Brielle stutter and Marissa smiled." Brielle.. It's been so long since we've seen each other. " She walked over to Brielle and pulled her in for an unwelcoming hug. Brielle stood still as she felt her blood go cold. She stepped back from Marissa's embrace and before she could attempt to say another word, Calvin walked over with a smile on his face." I see you've met my date Marissa.. " He said and Brielle inched closer to Killian who in return wrapped his arm around her. Marissa furrowed her eyebrows as she tilted her head." I thought I would've been the first to know when you got yourself a boyfriend Bri.. I am your big sister after all " Killian's eye went wide and he snapped his head over to Calvin who was looking around as if he hadn't known what he'd done." And you must be Killian.... I've heard a lot abou
Third Person POVBrielle walked into the kitchen and jump once she saw Blaine sitting at the counter. He had his laptop open and his coffee in his hand. He took a sip of his coffee and barely noticed Brielle as she walked to the other side of the counter and placed her hands on the edge." Hello Blaine. " He jumped as he almost spit his coffee out and he quickly shut his laptop. He coughed as he tried to looked normal and Brielle chuckled." What ya working on? "" Just some important information I've been collecting for Killian. " He responded." I'm guessing this is the same thing you two were whispering about yesterday in front of me and judging by the way you closed the laptop so fast when you saw me, I'm assuming I can't know about this information. "" You're quite the guesser. " He smirked and they heard a tiny gasp." UNCLE BLAINEY!! " He sent Brielle a quick wink before placing the coffee on the table and turning dramatically over to the direction of Delilah's voice." NEICY
Killian's POVLooking back to Delilah, I could see the reflection of her face on the wall and she stood there watching them emotionless. And to put the icing on the cake, the little heart she was holding fell out of her hands and hit the ground as if it was her own.Realizing I couldn't take it anymore, I walked over to her and I crouched down beside her." Delilah?.. " I said and she jumped and I noticed she was going back to her happy state that I could see looked a bit fake as of right now." O-oh sorry da- I-I mean Killy " She picked up the heart she dropped and I frowned as she was covering up what she was feeling." Sweetheart what's wr- " She shook her head, cutting me off." Nothings wrong. Let's go finish the bears. " She said and I stood up cautiously and watched as she walked back over to the stuffing station as if that little scene never happened.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯We walked out of the third store of the day and I could tell Delilah was drained. Picking her up, she laid her head on my
Brielle's POVPutting the casorole on the top of the stove, I wiped my forehead and went over to the sink to wash the dishes. It was around 8 and Killian wasn't back from the office yet. After what Madam A said to me this afternoon, every time I think about the man, my head starts swimming and my heart beats out of my chest. I had to distract myself because the mere thought of him had me feeling overwhelmed. It was like something in my head was blocking this feeling and once I heard those words come out of her mouth, that barrier came crashing down and I was putty in his hands.We came back just about two hours ago and I decided to cook so I could occupy my mind but it wasn't working and I almost overdid it. Benjamin took Delilah upstairs to get her unready and I could tell he noticed something was off about me. I scrubbed the pan with all of my force as I tried to deny what my conscience was telling me.I'm not in love with him.I continued repeating the same words in my head and sta
Brielle's POVI finished putting away my things as all the men walked out of the room except for Nathan, who sat in the corner angrily. The meeting went very successful and I didn't have to give anymore time outs. As I looked through my notes, I heard Nathan speak for the first time today." Ms. Newman? "I hummed softly as I continued what I was doing. " Hmm? "" .... Am I allowed to get up now? " I nodded and looked over my shoulder to him." Yes you are. " He stood up quickly and glared at the chair as he walked away. I giggled at him and heard my phone ring. Picking it up, I saw it was Madam A." Hi Madam A, how are you? "" I'm doing great sweetheart, how are you? " She said and I could tell she was overly happy for some reason. I smiled." I'm doing wonderful, it's been a while since we've spoken. "" Almost a day to be exact, but that's not important. I wanted to know if you wanted me to go grocery shopping with you for Thanksgiving "" Yes! Oh my god, I've been meaning to call
Killian's POV" Well... it's about time you found me. "He leaned back on the desk and I folded my arms." Why do you say that? "" Simple. I want to keep you and your friend out of my life so, what better way than to do so then to bring you to me. "" You think I'm just here to do a little Q&A to learn about you and what your favorite thing to do in the summer is? " I asked sarcastically and he chuckled." No but I do know that you're trying to get involved with my and Brielle's life and I want you to stay out of it. "" You mean just like how you've stayed out of her life for the past few years? "" I have my reasons.. now I'm going to ask you politely to leave and act like none of this ever happened. "" What reasons exactly do you have for leaving your little sister in the dark for almost a year and not bothering to make an effort to visit in the last 5? " I asked ignoring the last part of his sentence." Get out "" I'm afraid I can't do that until I've gotten what I need. " He w
Killian's POVWalking into the apartment, I watched as Brielle and Delilah went upstairs to go to sleep as it was only 5 in the morning. Benjamin walked over to the elevator and nodded his head at me." Good morning sir. "" It sure is one Benjamin... What are you doing up so early? " I said and he shrugged." I have a parcel being delivered in a few minutes so I wanted to make sure I was on time. " He said and I rolled my eyes." Of course you do "" Brielle informed me about Thanksgiving.. " I sighed." And what next? Another family get together for Christmas? " Benjamin opened his mouth to say something but closed it quickly." Oh don't tell me she's spoken to you about Christmas as well? "" It was just a brief conversation on the subject, she only gave me her thoughts and opinions on what we should do. "" You agreed with her didn't you. "" Well it would be rude of me not to. " I sighed as I ignored him and made my way to my room.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Brielle walked into my office with the doc
Killian's POVI walked into the bedroom and took a seat on the chair in front of my desk. It was about 9 in the morning and even after all the meetings we had to sit through yesterday, I still had work to catch up on. Opening the file drawer to my left, I picked up the first few and sat them on the desk. I started up the computer and I folded my hands under my chin as thought back to yesterday.Everything was fine... dandy, you can even say the fucking word peachy.. until Calvin decided to ruin my entire trip with just one message. It got to the point where I was considering the hitman option once again. I was so angry and then... Brielle. God is she something. I don't think I've ever calmed down faster than I did with her ever in my life. Sure.. my anger can get sometimes 'out of hand' as Blaine, my parents and many others like to put it but other than the occasional fits, I'd say I'm perfectly fine.I was brought out of my thoughts and my eyes darted over to my phone that was ringin
Third Person POV" I'm about to have one "Mr. Masahiko and his managers quickly grabbed their things and walked out the door. Brielle looked over to Blaine who was now rolling up his sleeves as he looked like he was getting ready to restrain Killian. Brielle took one step back and frantically spoke" What is he about to have please? " Blaine inched closer to him slowly and Brielle noticed Killian tapping his fingers on the desk slowly starting from his thumb as if it was a countdown." A t-a-n-t-r-u-m. And do. not. say. the. word. " Brielle put the letters together. Tantrum? Before she could even say a word she jump back with a small scream as Killian sent the entire desk flying when he flipped it over. Blaine ran from behind him and picked Brielle up in bridal position as he ran to the door. He stepped out and closed the door once he set her down on the floor. Brielle looked over to Mr. Masahiko and his employees as they sat in the corner enjoying a cup of tea. Blaine fixed his slee
Third Person POVBrielle followed the men into a room as they were preparing for the first meeting of the day. They entered the room and Brielle quickly started getting everything ready from the projector, to the note pad and pen for each person and she made sure to fix Killian's just seat the way he like it.His water or coffee on his left, his pen on his right and his seat inched just a little closer to her's which was always on his left. She internally laughed at how livid he once was because she didn't sit by him at one meeting since she was so busy walking around. He was on edge the entire time but the minute he asked her to have a seat, to which she complied, he immediately relaxed.Once she finished, Mr. Masahiko looked at her confused as he was lost in his thought then his eyes went over to Killian and back to her. She looked up at him when she finally noticed his stare and he looked over to Blaine who nodded his head at him. Brielle was confused as the men were silent but the
Third Person POVWalking out of the plane, Brielle went over to the car with a sleeping Delilah in her arms. It was about 4 in the morning and they just landed in Japan. She was extremely tired and she felt like dying as she knew today would be back to back meetings from 9 AM to 6 PM. She wanted to get as much sleep as she could but she knew it would be quite hard since she was moving around so much.Killian walked over to the car as he finished speaking with the driver and opened the door for Brielle. She got in the car and placed Delilah in the booster seat that she told Killian to put one in each car Delilah was going to ride in. She didn't want her to continue to sit in a car without any support in case of an accident.Brielle sat in the middle and leaned her head on Killian's shoulder as he entered the car. She looked up at him and noticed that he didn't look tired at all. Even at 4 in the morning he managed to look professional, awake and angry all while being over dressed in hi
