Being in control

~ Cole’s POV ~

I know I was being dumb. But I can’t find myself going back home after I walk Roxy to the hospital. So instead of going home, I stayed at the waiting area for her. Even after she told me to leave I didn’t. I can see that she was really sad and I wanted to be here for her. She’s acting all tough but I can see in her eyes that she was feeling lost.

“Cole, what are you still doing here?” She stated as she sat next to me.

“Hey, I was waiting for you.” I replied sleepily. “Did I fall asleep?”

“You’re crazy. I told you to go home.” She smiled at me sweetly.

“I am waiting for you. And I am not going anywhere. You can’t just push me away a

  Taking it slow ~Cole’s POV~ I wanted things to work between Roxy and me. If it means taking it slow then I would take it slow. I wouldn’t try to seduce her to sleep with me. I think I just need to wait for things to turn on its own. I know that she felt the chemistry that we have but I am more interested in our compatibility. I want to get to know her and see where we are in terms of compatibility. “Hello.” She greeted me as she peeked on the door. “Hi. Are you busy?” I asked, smiling at her. “It is five o’clock in the morning.” She replied sleepily. “What do you want?” “I have been trying to check if you were home for the past two days.” I admitted. “I

  Meeting Cole’s friends ~ Cole’s POV ~ I walked out of her bedroom before I lost whatever self-control I have left in me. How can she remain in complete composure after the kiss we shared? How can she remain unfazed being naked in front of me? I need to be careful with this woman. She is not like anyone I have been with. We met Jake and Gabby for lunch before the party. “Hey Cole, sorry we’re a bit late. Jake had to drop by his office.” Gabby stated. “It’s okay.” I kissed her on the cheeks and pulled a chair for her. “My date is just in the restroom. I am really excited for you guys to meet her.” “Where is your new girl from this time?” Jake stated. “You would be surprised.” I replied proudly. “Here she is.” I stood up and pulled a chair for Roxy. “Wow, you are so gorgeous.” Gabby stated, smiling at us. “Thanks. You’

  House warming party disaster ~ Cole’s POV ~ There was definitely something bothering Cassie. I can see how Gabby was worried about her. It was obviously because Nicholai brought Francesca as his date. Cassie is obviously jealous and Nicholai is an asshole. I was also an asshole teasing Nicholai and Francesca when I knew for a fact that there was nothing going on with them. When the party was cut short. Roxy told me that she needed to get back home. I understand that she was tired so we went back home. “So what do you think about my friends?” I asked Roxy as we were on the elevator. “I like them. They seem to be very interesting people.” She replied. “I spent most of my time with them before. But now Jake and Gabby are getting married. Nicholai is pretending that his business is going bankrupt if he doesn’t come to work or go on a business trip.

  After what Claire did (part 1)~Roxy’s POV~There were a lot of questions running in my head that kept me up almost the whole evening. I woke up with a loud knock on my door. I checked the time, it was almost nine o’clock. I have to get to the hospital. I lazily got up and opened my bedroom door.“Get out.” I stated angrily at Claire. “What the hell are you still doing here?”“Roxy, what’s wrong? Why are you mad at me?” She asked, confused.“Go figure it out.” I stated annoyed. “Just leave. I don’t want to see you. It will come back to you within this day what you did and said.”“I’m sorry.” Claire stated sadly embrace

  After what Claire did (part 2)~ Roxy’s POV ~I barely cry but when I do I become hysterical. No one can really calm me down. But when Cole embraced me tightly I started to feel much better. So I just hugged him back and continued crying. I really don’t know what my problem is but I couldn’t stop crying.“Roxy, are you feeling better?” Cole asked.“I want to move to Seattle and get away from here.” I stated.“What? Why would you do that?” He looked at me sadly.“They all hate me here and I shouted at the chief of surgery in front of everyone so he might as well fire me if I don’t hand him my resignation.” I admitted.

  Moving too fast ~Roxy’s POV~ I tried calling Claire but I couldn’t reach her. I went over to her apartment and she wasn’t there. According to her neighbour, she hasn’t been home for days. She doesn’t usually just leave. She for sure knew that I was just mad about what she did and I was just acting out. I had nothing else to do so I went home. Cole was never what I expected. For him to actually show up at the hospital everyday just to spend time with me was unexpected. I thought that he would do something luxuriously romantic like take me to Paris for dinner or fly me somewhere with his private plane. He never showed off that he had money. He was like a regular guy trying to hang out with me. Except of course for our first date where he bid $12000.00 to date me. But other than that he acts like he doesn’t h

We found out that Claire left and moved back to Brazil. She had some family issues to deal with. Everything around me was happening so fast and all I wanted to do was slow down.Nicholai and Cassie started living together. They have this no string attach relationship which was stupid.

  Relationships (part 2)~ Cole’s POV ~Roxy is getting along with Gabby and Cassie really well. Nicholai and Jake actually like her. They never liked anyone I introduced to them before. I never dated a woman and not have sex with her before. I am a changed man. I wanted to be sure before I cross the line with her and yet it scares me that we might end up being too comfortable with our set up that we just stay friends. She treats me like I am her best friend and it worries me sometimes. The vacation in Texas went really great."So how do you feel about introducing Cassandra a.k.a your angel to your family?" I asked as we were on our way back to New York."Knock it off, jerk!" Nicholai stated annoyed at me."Okay, but Cassie how do you feel about meeting Nicholai's family." I asked."It was okay. I mean they were nice." Cassie said, smiling at me."Nice! That is all you can

They were having fun while I was running around like a crazy person looking for Roxy. These people whom I call friends are having fun and chose to ignore me.“What the hell is wrong with you people?” I yelled angrily when I saw them eating happily. “What is this, some kind of payback for me telling you guys that I’d chose Roxy over any of you guys?”“Calm down, Mr. Sinclair.” Roxy stated and I froze in place staring at her. “I ask them not to inform you that I came here to see you. I needed time to compose myself before I tell you what I needed to tell you.”“Honey, why didn’t you just call me? I could have just headed to where you were at and you shouldn’t have to come here.” I exclaimed after I got over my initial shock.

I have to do something before I leave.“Hey, are you all set up?” My father asked.“Yes, I am done packing. I already called the driver and he is going to pick me up in a few minutes.” I replied.“I can’t help but overhear your conversation with Cole’s ex-wife. Are you not really going to hear him out?” He asked me seriously.“Nothing is going to change my mind. I am not getting back with Cole. I meant what I said. Cole and I are over. What Andrea told me made me realize that I have to do something really important that I have been avoiding for years.”“What do

  They just can't stay mad~ Cole’s POV ~I can’t believe that Evgeni would actually pull the whole mafia thing on me. Nobody was willing to help me find Roxy. I was positive that she was still in New York. There was no way Evgeni could have sneaked him out of the city. He left to fly back to Russia before telling me that no one in their right mind would help me find Roxy.I ended up feeling upset that I couldn’t find her. I feel useless, especially now that my friends obviously hated me. I can’t even go see Blair. I wanted to visit her after hearing that she was taken to the hospital but I partly blame myself for it. They have always had my back but I guess we are on our separate way

For the past few days, I realized that I put myself in this situation. I mean, Cole and I both agreed to the idea but it was my idea. I wanted to take a chance on him.

Claire informed me the next day when she got to my room."What is it?" I asked worriedly."I tried to rebook our flight for today and apparently you can't travel out of New York. It states that you are banned to leave the city.""Shit. I forgot that I was trying to escape a billionaire. He can control this. He can make sure that I stay here." I stated annoyed. "We should have driven out of New York yesterday.""This is not right. He can't hold you here. We have to do something.""We can't do anything until Monday. We have to be smart in dealing with this."

I never wanted to kill anyone in my life but I wanted Roxy to die. Blair asked Jake to cancel the party. She wasn’t feeling well after what happened. I felt bad that I ruined the day for them. “I’m sorry. I just went crazy.” I stated crying as we were in the living room. “It’s perfectly understandable.” Blair replied. “I almost killed Sheila because I was jealous due to false gossip. This isn’t gossip. They both played as allofus. I can't believe that they fooled us.” “I am moving back to Canada with Le

I know Robert is just your friend and he isn’t your type.” I stated. “Cole, shut up.” Blair stated seriously. “If you want to act stupid, do it somep
