ASHER**Mr Greenwood is stressed again. Yes it got worse when his Dad came to visit the company.He found fault in Everything including the garbage can. I'm surprised that the company he sold over 260 cars in 3 months. And one of the car is like over a $1 million. So that's like over $260 million dollar in 3 months, that's a lot of money. I think he's just stressed about him dying, I'd be loosing my mind too if I knew I was dying and I was leaving my multi million dollar company behind.Mr Greenwood is back to cranky mood. But surprisingly not with me. He could be yelling at someone on minute and he's talking to me very normally.And the good thing about this one is that he's not taking any alcohol.Lucy sat on my table and sighed exhausted."I need a week off in Maldives", she cried.I chuckled, "That stressed?", I asked."Oh my God you have no idea. We're trying to make 260 sales before the end of the month, Mr Timothy is so out of control, like it's the highest level of advertis
ASHER**Sebastian seriously didn't leave that couch until Timothy and Anthony came back."How did it go?", he asked."It went well, they said they wish you speedy recovery and will still like to have a one on one meeting with you in person before they make in any investment", Timothy said."It went well because I was there, I handled things perfectly well", Anthony stated.Timothy scoffed."So it's true you passed out today? you can't handle a little bit pressure from Dad and you want to run this company?", Anthony said."You should try running this place for 24 hours and see if they don't drag your corpse out", Sebastian replied."The only thing they will be dragging is you out of here"."Alright alright you two that's enough, Asher please take him home, I've already informed the Driver, he's waiting for you. Take good care of him and make sure he doesn't leave the house until Monday for any reason. And he's not working too. We'll handle things from here, the company won't crash or
There's this very obvious sexual tension between us and I don't think I have enough self control in me to ignore it.And Sebastian is messing with me deliberately, he knows exactly what he's doing.Cuz tell me why he tells me to watch him swim, and when I ask why he says something about Incase he drowns, like his first time swimming!He just wants to seduce me, it's so obvious. Why? I don't know, sometimes I want to ask him about that night, I really want to talk about it, but I just don't think he wants to. And right now he's teasing me, and I don't think I have the ability to hold myself any longer.I was sitting under the sun, he came to sit beside me."How's life Asher?", he asked a very surprising question."What?"."How's life treating you? I mean you know my story, I don't know yours, what made a handsome and smart man like you choose to become a bodyguard".People ask me this a lot, honestly it's hard telling them the whole story so I Just tell them I need extra money.I talke
ASHER * * It was Sunday evening, precisely 9:15. Sebastian was to resume work tomorrow, it was nice spending time with him, but he was my boss and I was going to keep things professional with him. He called me to his room to help him with something on the top shelf, if we're being honest, I'm kinda like 6'3, not to brag or anything. It was a jewelry box. It was a gift from the Berkeley hills family and he wanted to wear it to the meeting with them tomorrow. "Help me put it on", he said handing me the silver necklace. He turned around and I put the necklace around his neck and helped him wear it. The initial "BH", was the pendant. He turned around, inches close to my face. Oh God no no no, Asher focus, Asher focus, Asher focus!! "Asher what are we doing?", he asked in a whisper. "Hm?", I was suddenly unable to move my mouth anyone. "What are we doing to ourselves?", he asked moving forward, I started moving backwards until my back hit the wall. "I don't know, I should a
ASHER**I went back to my room by 4am, two hours after we were done and exhausted and Sebastian had gone to sleep. I had emptied my entire nut sack and I don't think I'd be doing anything of such for a week, hell maybe even a year.I laid on my bed facing the ceiling. I had the best night of my life, in the morning everything could change for the worse, I might even loose my job but at least I could live with those memories.My small smile creeped on my face as I remembered the way he desperately begged me last night. Everything that came out of his mouth was something I would give my life to here every single moment..Well, I'm glad I've gotten that out of my systems, we may probably never talk again but at least I got what I wanted, right?It was just the sex, right? nothing more or less, right? Right?Wrong, it wasn't, it was him.I wasn't fucking him yesterday, we were literally making love. Damn the way he looked at me, the way he kissed me, I can't get it out of my head.I s
SEBASTIAN **At around 6:45 pm, there was a knock on my room door, I already knew who it was."Come in", I said."Hi, Good evening", he said.Damn, this guy wrecked me last night, I still haven't recovered. I went wild, a wild I have never gotten in my life.For a second last night I agreed that loosing my company because of him isn't such a terrible idea.I smiled, "How's my mom?", I asked."She's so grateful for what you did for her, she's dying to meet you. She really is", I told him."I'm glad she is", I said.He moved closer to me and I pulled him to the bed, he landed on my legs, our faces inches away from each other."So, you wanted to talk", he stated.I signed and rolled my eyes, "Kissing would have been preferable but fine", I said."Okay, ask all the questions you want, load it on me", I said."The other night you were drunk, we made out, you sucked my dick and then the next day you acted like I didn't exist, you clearly pushed me away. I assumed you didn't want that to h
I flew to London the next week to meet Rebecca's parents. And now I know why she's scared as hell. My Dad isn't even thia terrible honestly.They're very strict religious people, hell we said prayers ten times before doing anything. How did this girl even have the chance to become a Lesbian?They didn't like me when I came in if we're being honest. I had tattoos and piercings, what do you expect from people that religious?But like every other human, they were easily bought, too easily bought. All I did was drop an expensive fruit wine and a couple of hundred dollar bills on the table and they loved me already and were already talking about the wedding.After a long outrageous day of talking to them, I went outside to catch some fresh air. Asher didn't join me, I asked him not too. Not because I had any issue or whatever. I just needed space, it's really really hard to concentrate when he's around me and I don't want to fumble things with Rebecca's parents."You definitely hate your
A smile spread across my face when I saw Asher waiting for me at my car when I landed at the airport. Timothy got out of the car, "Look whose back from seeing his in laws", he teased. "Never again", I mumbled and I went to give him a hug. "Hello Rebecca", Tim said. "Hi Timothy, I'm exhausted", she said going into the car. Asher and I shared a brief 5 seconds glance like we weren't going to tear ourselves apart whenever we get out of this place. "How was London?", Timothy asked as we all got into the car and drove off. "The place, good, her people? terrible", I said. We had a small conversation and then we reached Rebecca's house. "Text me when you settle down okay?", I said. "Beatrice probably wouldn't give me a chance to but okay, byee", she said and waved us off. We headed straight to the office, no time for breaks here. I've already wasted four days of my life. Immediately I got to the office, I went straight to my office and Stephanie and Valerie were there. "Where's
ASHER * * Sebastian mother was the nicest woman I had ever met and for a second, I legit forgot that I was here to find out about things. She couldn't stop talking about me and how much she loves that I was able to make Sebastian comfortable and bold enough to face his ruthless father and come out. She talked about her marriage with her husband and how cruel he was and apart from the money, one of the biggest reasons she chose to stay was because of her kids. She reminded me so Much about my own mother. Her's was mental abuse while my mother's was Physical. I genuinely felt so bad for her. Infact I was convinced that the real monster here if there was any was Belinda because this woman was too kind to be involved in anything shady. It was until Belinda came that I snapped out of everything and realized why I was really here. "What is he doing here?", Belinda asked not so pleased to see me. "I came into town and so I invited him for Lunch", she said nicely. Belinda rolled he
"What? no , look I already closed that chapter of my life already, I'm genuinely not interested in finding any lost sibling of mine"."I know Asher, it took you a while to move on from the whole thing but right now we need your help, things are far more complicated than it's looking", Timothy said."What's happening?", he asked.Timothy looked at me, I looked at him."We think somehow... one of us might be adopted from Graceville".Asher looked taken aback, "What?"."There's just way too many evidences, but then so many loopholes we can't just connect the dots"."Wait I'm confused, when do you mean one of you are from Graceville?"."There's a secret birth certificate of Sebastian, we managed to scan it properly and it had Graceville as the address. And I the picture of Sebastian's birth, my mom was there, but she wasn't pregnant, which is odd because.... I was born two months after him".Asher stared at both of us, startled."When did you guys... when did you start all these? when did
Before I came back to New York, I paid a short visit back to my mother's house to meet Nona.She was surprised to see me."Can you explain more on what you told me that day? about replacing my letters with more valuable informations"."Oh, it's just pictures of you and Timothy, I found them when they were renovation the house some months ago in the garage, didn't want it to be thrown away so I decided to keep them, for memory", she said calmly.But this wasn't the answer I was looking for, and deep down I felt like she knew the answers to everything,but she wasn't going to tell me."Is there... anything you wish to let me know?", I asked."Only that I wish the best for you", she said and then returned back to her daily activities.I left home more than confused, everything seemed to be crashing in my head.My relationship with Timothy was on a loose thread, the only thing that's keeping him around Is the company.We barely talk to each other unless it had something to do with work, de
SEBASTIAN * * * I genuinely didn't even know when or how we got back, but I woke up in Asher's arms. We had a pretty long night, I think we both got drunk and had a karaoke night, good thing it was just the two of us there. Whenever I was with him, I felt free, I didn't feel like I had to act perfect and pretend... my inner child always come alive when I am with him. "What time is it?", he asked rubbing his eyes sounding so sleepy and hungover. I looked at my watch. "Almost 10 am", I said. He sprung out of the bed, "Are for for real? fuck I have a class in like 40 minutes", he said grabbing his phone. He held his mouth, "28 missed calls from Eric?". I sat up. "Why is he calling you that much?". "We were supposed to go to the Superbowl last night remember? I Just ghosted him, Damn", he said calling him back. I rolled my eyes and laid back on the bed. "Hey.... I'm so sorry... Rea really sorry about last night, something very important came up ... yes it was very importa
I was emotional about today.. I turn 29 and I have zero accomplishments... this is definitely not how I had pictured my 29 years to be.And tomorrow would make it a year since I met Sebastian. I remember because Veronica forgot today was my birthday and then she said she would make it up to me by going on a date with me... one she constantly forgot about everytime.Maybe this year was gonna be different, because I was determined to be different, and I wasn't going back.The next morning I got a basket of gifts from GWM employees. I guess they never forgot my birthday. I called Lucy to thank her because I knew it was all her , we talked and caught up with each other.Maybe I would go for the Superbowl. At least I don't have to be sad and emotional today.I went to my mom's grave later that day, spoke to her for hours, cried at a point, reminded her how much I missed her so much and then I got home in the evening.Eric called reminding me of the Superbowl and I told him I was definite
ASHER **"There's no way I'm going to join you and your family for a celebration vacation of your Dad's death", I said for the 600th time."But my mom insists", he said."Look I get you, I really do and yes I do want to spend time with you, but there's no way I'll be comfortable there, I just won't. I would love to meet your mother again, she was so nice to me the other time, but right now no, I just can't "."It's gonna fall on your birthday, we can spend time there instead of reading books or whatever it is you do there", he said ."Babe don't worry about me I'll be fine I promise, go spend time with your family"."I want to spend time with you ", he said."Me too, but that'll be when you come back, I promise "."Fine", he mumbled."I love when you're like this, it's cute, we'll talk later okay? I gotta go now ", I said He groaned and then I blew him a kiss and cut the call.I went back to my project. I was sitting at the football mini stadium. Just a few people were there."Hey
At my Dad's funeral, I watched my mother cry her heart out, but get this... it's fake. Now I've seen her in her most emotional state, I've seen her cry I've seen her emotional, I've seen her Sad over the past few months because of my Dad's health. The day he died she showed zero emotions, she didn't cry , not even for a second. And now she's weeping at his grave but she doesn't even mean it, at all. It's so fake that it's scaring me. "Sebastian what's happening with mom?", Anthony asked coming to stand beside me. "I don't know", I mumbled. "I mean we're the ones that are supposed to fake the tears and she's doing that for us". "It's like she's happy he's dead, but she's putting on this show so people will sympathize with her", I said. "Hey I don't blame her, I mean if I were her and went through all those shits she went through, believe me even I will be happy ", he said. "Exactly, but we're not her, it's mom. This woman is obsessed with him, badly obsessed". "I think we sh
At 6:42 am, I got a call from the hospital. It was a call I expected a long time ago. I had lived this day in my head a couple of times but my reaction to the reality of it was different. My Dad was dead. Immediately I cut the call the first person I called was Anthony. Not to ask him how he was taking the whole news, not to ask him if he was ok, but to check up on my mom. She's been attached to this man all her life, she changed her entire identity just to become the person he would love to have as a wife. His eyes decisions became her decisions, his life became hers. Although my father never loved her, he only loved the ideas of having a woman like her. "How's mom?", I asked. "She's... she's not breaking down", he said sounding so surprised. "I don't get it". "She's already planning his funeral with his sister's, I don't know if she's pretending to be strong or she's just kinda happy he's finally dead I don't know". "Where are you guys?". "We're at the airport heading back
I hated that hangover feeling you get after drinking your ass out the previous night.My head was banging, there was pain relief on the table with a bottle of water.Asher I swallowed the pills and then went to take a shower and then got out feeling a lot better than earlier.I got downstairs and found Asher in the kitchen."Someone finally woke up"."What time is it?"."Past 12pm"."Whatttt???", I shrieked."Yeah your friends just left like 30 minutes ago, they came to check up on you since you ghosted them last night and didn't show up at work today", he said dropping a plate of freshly baked bread and eggs in front of me."Damn it, and I had somethings to do at work today", I said digging into my food."You're such a good cook you know that right?",I asked.He smiled, "So, you want to tell me what happened last night?", he asked taking a seat beside me.It was at that point that memories of last night flooded my head. I paused and took a deep breath in and then released it."Nothi
