After a restless night of tossing and turning. I got out from bed glad that it's finally morning.Going through a quick session of brushing my teeth and having a shower I moved into the kitchen to make us breakfast. Then wait for six before going to work.Yeah. I secured a job at tipsy tavern as a bartender. One of the most classic bar, tho it's a newly opened place.Seven months after my break-up with Zayn. That's how long it took me to finally convinced myself I have to crawl out of my shell. With Josh by my side and Greg--- Wait, did I ever mention we are now close buddies? Well those two have been of great help to me.Plus Greg has been trying his all possible best to win me over but I'm just not ready to venture to any relationship shit.Who knows, maybe right after I give him a chance and we moving along I get to find out he's got a full time wife and kids elsewhere.No thanks.“Mmm, smells nice." Josh said walking inside the kitchen still clad in his sleeping clothes.“What are
It's been seven hours after I went to see her.Seven freaking hours after I heard her pour out her heart to me.Seeing her in pains had pricked my heart that I just let her do to me whatever she wished to. I'm a fool__Yes I know that, but there's no way I can be in love with two women and I know just that.I can't be so selfish, she deserves to be happy without me so I've made up my mind and there's no going back again.“Zayn!!! Are you even listening to me?" Alessandra nudged me on my chest.“Yes__Um, you were talking about__Sorry I kind of trailed off. What were you saying.”“Is something bothering you?” she asked gently keeping down her laptop and turning to sit on my lap.I breathe in deeply and circled my hands around her waist. “Nothing baby."“So, what were you saying?” I pulled her down and make her place her head on my chest.“You're yet to answer me about our son. I missed him so much and want him to come back.”“I heard you quite alright and I'm on it already. So quit worry
I leaned back in the car seat, my eyes staring out of the car, my heart still racing from my confrontation with him. Josh handed me a tissue to wipe away the tears that had started to fall which I didn't even noticed."Feel better now?" he asked, his eyes staring occasionally at me.I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I think so."Josh put the car in gear and pulled out of the driveway. "Good. Let's get out of here and forget about that jerk for a while."I gave him a half smile and tossed away the used tissue in my hand.“I don't plan on forgetting about him for a while, I intend doing it for the rest of my life.”We drove in silence for a while, the only sound being the music playing on the radio. I stared out the window, my mind still reeling from the events of the past week. How everything had gone from perfectly good to bad."Hey, Josh?" I said, breaking the silence."Yeah?" He hummed a reply nodding his head to the music currently playing."Which restaurant do you think we sho
I tilted my head towards the entrance of my bedroom where Josh was leaning on the doorframe. He was generous enough to let me use his guest room which I'll forever be grateful for.It's been a week. One whole fucking week since I left Zayn's mansion. No call, no text, nothing at all. Not that I expected him to show up right at my door the minute he learns I'm no longer in the mansion__ but it hurts like hell.“You suck at brewing coffee Josh.” I scrunched my nose remembering the last time Josh made me coffee. I had to wash my mouth four times just to scrape out the bitter taste from my tongue.Josh chuckled and walked into the room, a cup of coffee in hand. "Hey, I resent that. My coffee skills are top-notch."“Agree to disagree. You'll never be excellent at brewing coffee even with the help of an excellent coffee brewer.”“Wait until you taste this one sunshine.” He winked stretching out the steam oozing cup to me which I accepted.I raised an eyebrow, taking the cup from him. "Reall
As the cab driver drove home my mind was racing with questions. Why was she here? From the letter I found in the hidden room, I can as well just say 'they were or are in a romantic relationship 'I felt like my world was crashing down around me.As soon as I got home, I called rushed straight into nanny Miriam's room. "Hey dear,where have you been? You didn't have breakfast before leaving.” she was saying but kept quiet when she saw my moody face."Aunt I need to ask you some questions." I said, my voice shaking."What's wrong, did Zayn do something stupid?" She asked, her tone serious that I would have smiled if only I was feeling so hurt.I shook my head. “I'm just coming back from Zayn's office and I saw him hugging another woman need to know what's going on."“He was just hugging her sunshine. No strings attached.”I laughed in disagreement.“That wasn't a friendly hug, I know when I see one.”“Then__Who could that be? Did you just say a woman ?” she motioned for me to come seat b
“Are you sure you are going to be okay in there?”He asked for the twentieth time as we rode to the bank in his car.I rolled my eyes at him.“Come on, don't tell me you're scared.”“You should know I am. Now that you're the almighty Zayn's fiancee, only someone in his right senses will be scared.”I chuckled and glance out from the window.“I wonder why you're scared. But don't worry, I got this okay.”There was total silence till we pulled up in the bank. “I guess we are here.” I muttered slowly using my eyes to look around the whole building.“Josh turned off the ignition and turned to face me. “I think you should know the straight path that leads to the dickhead office.”I stifled in a laugh. Obviously, Josh and the CEO of (DFB) would never be in the friendly adult zone.“Once we get inside. Just go straight to the third elevator to your left and punch on the fifth floor, it's rarely ever used. Take the second turning to your right and you're right at his office.”I nodded my head s
“Hey, you got to be kidding me right?" He asked with his eyes wide open.I shook my head and placed my hands on the table.We were currently at Eli's where I had earlier asked him to meet me. Maybe he could help me out in some areas, I don't really trust him.“Here's your order.” Eli beamed placing down each what we both requested.I flashed him a smile “Thank you.” “Don't sweat it pretty.” he patted Josh on his shoulders and slithered back to his work.“Is there something you aren't telling me ?” his voice came out low and hoarse forcing me to look back at him.A throaty laugh bubbled out of my throat. “Do you feel like I'm hiding something from you?"“Well... Not really, but all of a sudden you come to me asking for a layout of a bank. Not any bank but DFB.”I took a quick glance around the cafe looking if anyone was paying attention to our conversation. Seeing none, I leaned over on the table pushing my cup of ice cappuccino aside.“There's absolutely no reason for you to panic Jo
As we walked back to the mansion, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. I expected to feel lighter and more free after denouncing every strings attaching me to my mother, but that isn't what I felt in my body.The feeling was more like I added a heavy weight to my previous burden.Not to talk about Amad's piercing gaze which had left me feeling uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but wonder why the heck he continued glaring at me till he was out of sight."Why was Amad staring at me like that?" I asked Zayn, trying to sound casual.He raised an eyebrow. “How do you mean?”I shrugged my shoulders. “In a creepy manner that's beginning to annoy me somehow.”Zayn chuckled. "He can be a bit... intense. But he means well."I wasn't so sure. There was something about Amad that didn't sit right with me.I know he never liked me, but recently his behavior was becoming a little bit suspicious. But I can only hope he means well as Zayn said.As we entered the mansion, Amad was already sitt
