Chasing His Rejected Luna 164
JADEOn my way out, I ended up in my dad’s office. Now, you’ll ask, did I go there because I had something to tell him, or was I delaying the inevitable? It was the latter. At leats, I was honest with myself about that.Last night when I spoke with Jaiya, I was fairly confident about what I wanted to do. Because it was just that, words. Now that I was seeing the brand daylight and the possibility of it being more than words being thrown in my lap. I was a nervous wreck.It was a surprise no one mentioned it at breakfast. More like, dad and Aiden didn’t. Ray made sure to grill me. If I didn’t know that girl loved me, I would have said she hated me and loved seeing my discomfort.Though, I can’t really rule that out. She likes seeing me squirm.“You look well.” Dad said as I walked into his office. I quirked a questioning brow which made him chuckle a little. “I was worried you’ll shut down after last night.”Trust this man to not give you room for a soft landing. He just goes straight

JADERay was watching me, looking like she had something to say. Which was surprising, the fact that she hadn’t said it. She is not one to hold back.“What’s up?” I asked, after I finished checking my lipgloss in the mirror.I mean, it is still the best I could do when it comes to makeup. But I like it. I always feel so proud when I’m putting it on. Maybe I’ll take Jaiya’s advice one of these days and actually learn makeup. I do have the time.“Well, if you don’t come back as a girlfriend tonight, Antonio and I are going to have a talk.” She looked so serious that I wanted to laugh but I second guessed it and instead nodded.I pressed my lips into a thin line because it was just too hard not to smile. And well, mentioning Antonio’s name always makes me smile like a schoolgirl getting the attention of her first crush.“Yeah, dad. That sounds great.” I said with sarcasm and she got up and came to stand behind me.“I’m being serious. This is like yore tenth date so why are you not offici

JADEThe drive to the place, not that I actually knew where we were going because Antonio. Has been really tight lipped, was award after what happened. Or what almost happened.Ray dramatically covered her eyes, almost tripping twice because she refused to look at where she is going. We just watched her with unveiled amusement until she got into the elevator and then it was just us again. We couldn’t exactly go back to what almost happened and it became awkward. We were both obviously thinking of it.Well, I’m sure Antonio was a lot calmer than me because I wanted to scream. I didn’t though. Looking like a crazy person is not in the list of things I want to try out.Not knowing what to do because I’m still thinking of the almost kiss, I chose to text Jaiya. She would know what to do about this. Or at least, she’ll tae my mind off it.I don’t want anything to ruin the easy relationship I have with Antonio. Not liken official relationship. He is the closest thing I have to that, funny e

JADE“But how do you know so much about them?” I was the one reading the book, but Antonio sounds like he memorised the entire thing.The way he spoke about it didn’t seem like he learnt it in school or something like that. He genuinely loves it and I have to find out why.Could he just be anymore perfect? I’m so scared to reach out and touch him only to find out he isn’t real and this is just a sweet dream I am having. That all the days we have spent together, the messages we shared, were all a figment of my imagination and not the real thing.“Because my mother is a descendant.” He said with a sly smile, sure that I could be shocked. And I was. I couldn’t cover my mouth.“Shut up. You’re kidding!” When I finally gained control of my mouth, I said that and he just shook his head, laughing a little.“No, actually I’m not.” He replied. “Though it would have been nice if I was just saying that to impress you.”“The fact that it is real impresses me even more.” He nodded to himself and s

ATLASI’ve been pulling late nights for the past week. I wish I could say it was as a mean to avoid staying at home which will be filled with thoughts of Jade. But I have been so completely swamped with work that if I don’t stay late, nothing will get done.I have three secretaries and about five assistants. They are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities but it just seems like it is not enough. Nothing is enough.The worst part of it all is I still can’t get her thoughts of my mind. The few seconds I’m not buried in buried, I’m lost in thoughts of Jade.it’s almost one in the morning and I’m only just getting home. This is considered early in my new life. So, I guess I should happy. Except, I’m too fucking tired to even think of anything other than getting into bed and sleeping for three hours rest of the night. If I am able to.Another ting I’ve developed is insomnia. I usually didn’t sleep, but that was mostly a choice. I could sleep I wanted to. I just choose not to, most

JADEI think I’m starting to understand why people act crazy in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. The thrilling feeling. Heightened emotions. It is incomparable and just so full. But it isn’t too much. I don’t know if that makes sense. It is just crazy how you find yourself always thinking of the same person. Even if you spend the whole day with them, it does’t seem like enough and want more. More of them. More of everything.I’m starting to think I’ve lost my mind. When I told Jaiya, she only laughed and told me it is because I’m in love. I don’t actually think I’m in love. I do know I like Antonio a lot. More than I ahem ever liked anyone.Don’t get me wrong. I said like. It sounds horrible but I don’t think I’ve ever liked Atlas. Or maybe, I used to like him when I was younger. When I admired everything he did. It makes me wonder if things would have been different if we never got married.But that is not the point I’m trying to make. Atlas is more like a fleeting thought

ATLASI had a meeting with what you would call the ambassadors or the sixth circle. Six of them dealt with the issues of people from the sixth circle who were living here. We had our own ambassadors there, but as of now, they weren’t my problem. I’ll have to meet with them too, but not yet.Am I postponing it until it reaches the four weeks timeline in which I gave myself to get Jade back? There was no use denying it when the snare was already so obvious.Using the meeting as a guise, I’ll have a whole week of convincing her before we come back home together. And yes, I am confident because I don’t plan on giving up or leaving without her giving me the answer I wanted. Which was a yes.Andrew is here with me, a few minute stop the meriting which he personally organised.“We need everything to be perfect.” He was been sweating this, being nervous for some reason. You would think he was meeting his father in law for the first time.“It will be perfect. You handled it yourself.” I said,

JADEToday was my first meeting as the official mediator for the council and the sixth circle. Dad asked more than five times if I was sure I was ready. I could sit out of the meeting the ambassadors were having with the elders for now. But I didn’t want to start my new job by missing a meeting. So I insisted on going.It was a whole two hours drive from Palm Springs. Antonio suggested we go with the helicopter as it would be faster but I said there was no need to pollute the air when we could just drive. It would be like a road trip.He insisted he follow me in that case.“You don’t want to be bored in the car all alone.” He had said and I laughed.“I’ll be busy with work, and checking what I will say but your company will me much appreciated.”And the trip was worthwhile, definitely more enjoyable than it would have been if I was alone. And since Antonio knew about all of things and the people I would be working with, better than I did, his presence turned out to be much better.I
