AMORAThey say you don't really know someone until you actually stay with them in the same place and I have to say sometimes it's debatable but other times it's just so true..I love my boyfriend and the past two years have been super amazing coz he has been the best boyfriend ever, nothing short.. and all things were still fucken amazing between us until two weeks ago.. Until I decided to take up his offer and come stay with him.. biggest mistake of my life. I mean I was desparate, had no money to cover rent and he as a good partner offered, I didn't put my head much into my decision but right now I wish I had.He was slowly revealing to me the side of him that I never knew. He was untidy but what other man isn't? He was a bit bossy or should I say controlling? He wanted me to report to him about my whereabouts, it got me confused. I mean was he my boyfriend or my dead mother?For the past week we have been down each other's throats with me mothering him and his ass acting like a gro
"Thank you so so so much. God bless you all..." I said before getting out of the boardroom.I reached the elevator and went straight downstairs. My mind was still all over the place and I couldn't believe this. I got to the front desk and asked for water again since my throat felt a bit dry. The lady was kind enough to help me again.I sighed and smiled at her, "I'll see you on Monday..""Great... can't wait."I laughed, "umh.. I didn't get your name...""Rachael... I called you.."My smile was wider than anything as I wrapped my arms around her, "thank you so much. Thank you Rachael..""No prob..get home safe."I got out of the building and was hit by cold June air outside. Was this real? Or was it a prank?I looked at their document and opened the first page, I was working days which was from Wednesday to Sunday.. during the week I was working after class and weekends at 7:30 am to 15:30 pm. Then my eyes went down and I almost got a heart attack when I saw the five figures on my sal
TAWNYI remember that day like it was yesterday... and my body still boils when I think about it. When Amora sent me Freya's message by mistake, I knew that she was really worried to not have realized that she texted me instead of her roommate.. I mean ex roommate. Then I offered her help and of course she refused it because of how hard headed she is and how she doesn't like depending on anyone.. But later everything changed, Paris got home and almost gave me a heart attack. I had just gotten home, long day and I wanted nothing but my shower, food and bed. We, of course had our small talks like usual as I got ready for a shower, and before she left my bedroom to go make us food ready she just said, 'oh babe Amora said she is moving in with Nash' then she left.. for the first time in my life my body went cold yet my ears felt like they were blowing out hot air and my vision went blind. I felt like my body wasn't mine, I couldn't think nor even breathe for a bit until the sound of my
So since Olivia was single, she was in my place or office countless times to actually tell me about this amazing sex she's having. But it wasn't boring at all, I kinda loved her stories even though I didn't tell her that.. I didn't want her boasting about it. So today Amora was in a meeting with Tyra, Michael and Philip and I was nervous for her. I hoped she was calm and prepared since I had no idea what they were going to say to her, but I wanted her at work on Monday. Thank God Olivia was here again to keep me company. "So Tee.. you should take care of your left shoulder.. it took a notch on your last game.." I shool the shoulder, "I know. I kinda felt that.. but the patch you gave me will work right?" She nodded, "yes...and she's done. She's leaving..." I looked at the screen and saw Amora leave the boardroom. I sighed in relief and my office door opened. Tyra walked in, "she was amazing... And nervous.." I smiled, "I told you she will be amazing...""She's one bright thing.
AMORAAir caught on my throat, she was still talking and introducing me and everyone who was there. My mind was all over the place. She was the owner of the company? I mean Rachael said she's going to fetch her boss and then she returns with Tee...? So, this meant that Tee was the owner of the company..? "Yeah.. yeah... it's her..." one girl whispered and I looked at them starting to come back to my reality. "The one who was protected by Tawny in that club.. at umm Sandton..." Oh fuck really? So I'll be known as..."Ahh Paris's sister... yes.. now I know where I've seen her from.." I didn't even get to finish what I was thinking as the other girl said what I was thinking.Tawny cleared her throat and they kept quiet, ".. this right here is Philip... he's on the board too and you probably saw him when you were here to get your contract... thank you guys for all being here.." she looked at everyone else and smiled, "now, we are looking at the biggest fashion show in three weeks and
I was taken back by her last sentence. So we'd bury our feelings? Is that even possible? I was going to see her more than I have been seeing her. It was hard to bury my feelings when I had zero contact with her, she was always on my mind. So how was I going to pull it off if she is here and I see her every week if not everyday... I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded my head, "of course... we can bury them.. since you do it so easily Tawny.." then I turned around to leave, she sighed and called for my name but I didn't stop. I took the elevator and went to the first floor, Rachael was there holding a paper, "I'm glad you're here.. so the tour..."I shook my head trying to take Tawny out of it, "yeah.. please I need that. I want Tyra's office." She took me around the big building and showed me every place including where I will seat. The place was beautiful and big. Racheal smiled as she stood in front of a door, "some other time I'll take you to the store... good thing you
About two weeks down the line my work was perfect and I was starting to get recognized as Amora Black and not Paris' little sister. It felt good, to be appreciated and loved for who you really are, and all I was doing was just work my ass off. The two minions who were giving me problems were slowly starting to come at me, not in a bad way but trying to be my friend. I found it funny though, when I got here they were trying to sabotage everything I was set to do, and now that they realized they couldn't because I always rose to the occasion, they suddenly wanted to keep me close. When they realized how much every executive director of the company loved me, they didn't want to be on my bad side. I remember last week, Lungi came to ask me where I got my tea and she was watching me while I was buying it. It was stupid but funny at the same time. As for Tawny....I've been trying by all means to avoid her, I mean with everything that I had burried starting to resurface, every feeling I f
The following day my phone had crazy missed calls and text messages from my sister. I ignored them on purpose and went to school. One interesting text came in.. TEE: So, I couldn't sleep coz I was super excited. I managed to get us one apartment to look at today. I will come fetch you at 11 when you are done with your classes.. I talked to Tyra, you have nothing much to do today, so she'll see you tomorrow..I laughed at her. She was as eager as me. ME: thank you.. well thank God you was smart enough to report for me.. I will see you after school.My day went very well and I didn't allow anything to ruin it. At 11 Tee was here as she promised. She hugged me, "Let's get out of here.." "So where's the place?" I asked buttling up my seatbelt. "Sunninghill.. it's 20 minutes away.." "Okay, we are still checking, so I'm open to any place around Sandton." She squeezed my hand, "good.. now let's go.." The place was beautiful but not my style, it was vintage-ish, looked very old but i
My relationship with my sister was the best and Luna tried to spend as much time with me because I was leaving her. She made me feel like I was dying and never coming back, but I understood and wasn't complaining. My last days at work were amazing until on Friday they told me they have a party for me. God I hated it but it was tradition coz I was going to Thailand. I didn't know how I'd ask Paris to go but was so fucken happy when she told me she has a very important interview that she couldn't move. She felt bad that she could not come but I assured her that it was okay. Little did she know I was relieved. I didn't know how she and Tawny would act when they were to see each other. So she promised to come sleep over at my place when she was done with the interview. I dressed pretty nice in a navy blue notch lapel 2 piece tailored suit for women, a white shirt underneath the blazer and black heels. I wanted to leave with a bang. I got to the office and as I guessed all eyes were o
"Okay I just got an sms.. the ride is.. oh my God Tawny hello.." Freya said the moment she saw who was at the door.I was forced to open the door wide and move to the side so that she can walk in. She hugged my friends and said, "Frey frey and Tony... right?" My friends smiled like idiots that they were, "yesss.. God it's been forever and you still remember us.." Antony smiled, "would love to catch up but we have to go.. Amora it was great surprising you. You're a darling. Love you so much." I kissed his cheek and Freya was smiling from ear to ear, "you guys be good. Bye now." After closing the door my place became so quiet the only thing I could hear was the rapid beating of my heart. I could feel it in my ears, they were hot. I hated feeling like this. I wished Luna was up so I wouldn't have to deal with this on my own. I turned towards her and found her looking around the house. Right there anger slowly built in and seeing her here NOW was just pissing me off."You've done a g
AMORAMy party was greater than I thought. I was enjoying the company and the food actually. They forced me to drink telling me I won't drive, I refused and said I want to remember today but mostly I wanna study sober coz I had an exam on Monday. As for them.. well they got drunk. Around 9pm Paris got up, "okay.. I think I must say something to make this party official.." Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to her. She smiled, "so this kid over here.." she said that motioning for me to go to her. I did and she put her arm around my shoulder, "she's my world. Took me hell to notice that I haven't been really great to her..." "Skip that part.. you're amazing now.." Luna cut her off and we all laughed. "Okay..definitely listening to this one coz she's my sister's wife.." We laughed again and Paris cleared her throat, "what I mean is, I'm totally proud of you baby. You've not only done you proud but also our parents. I know they want what's best for us hence they keep th
The following day I had school and work later. The morning lecture was important. I saw Freya and she came running to me. "Hey you stranger.." She looked different, good different. I pulled her into a hug, "how are you.. oh my God you look good. Did you get a boyfriend?" She laughed, "You're awful.. I'm good.. since you started working we hardly see you."I nodded, "sorry babe, I wanna graduate at the end. How's second year treating you though?" "It's amazing but too much work, I can't wait till I'm like you brushing shoulders with the big dogs." We talked a bit until I saw the time, "I have to run. My signature is important there.."She hugged me again and she smelled so good, I shook my head, "you definitely got a boyfriend.."We both laughed then I got a taxi to pass by work. When I got there Rachel was smiling like an idiot at the front table. I raised my brow, "I didn't know my signature could make you this happy." She laughed, "Mrs Banks kinda said something so I'm just
AMORANerves were killing me I could actually hear my heart beat from my chest. What the fuck was I doing? Why did I agree to this? God couldn't I tell Tyra that I already had plans when the internship ends. But then again I'd be having nothing and totally wind up homeless... "Please breathe.. I don't want you dying in my office." Tyra said walking in and I sighed, "like can't they do this Skype thing when I'm in bed wearing my PJs and definitely NOT today." She laughed, "nerves are good.. keep them up." "Mrs Banks I cannot breathe.. what part of that is good..?" She brushed on my shoulders, "Don't worry.. you'll do great.. they'll call you any second from now."Second.. God she said any second. I felt like I wanted to go to the bathroom..maybe take a little shit and I'll be fine after that. My stomach was in knots. My Skype tone kicked me back to the moment I was dreading. I looked at Tyra, "I won't do this with you in here." She took her headsets and put them on, "I'm working
TAWNYMy life felt like a rollercoaster. Everything was happening so fast and I felt like I was losing myself in between. Have you ever wanted something so bad but then the universe was telling you not to pursue it? I was in that boat at the moment and it sucked to be in it. When I took that Monday off I never thought Amora would show up in my bedroom when I was taking a bath... but seeing her there looking all cute and freaked out at the thought that something had happened to me kinda put me at ease.I knew I shouldn't have had sex with her as it was going to complicate things that were already complicated but I stupidly couldn't stop myself. After she left I felt like shit and regretted putting her in that position again. The plan was to create distance between us and not to give her hope.Everyday for me was hell. My mind was thinking about the past six months and how fast they flew by. I felt guilty for what I did to Mimi and Paris. That was not me and I needed to push them awa
AMORA'S POV I sat anxiously waiting for my sister to start talking. I had no idea what to expect but by how good she seemed it didn't look bad. "So I want to apologize..." My heart sank as guilt started building in. "Look I know I haven't been the best sister to you. I realized I measured my being there for you with money. The more money I gave you, the more I felt I was there for you..." If she wasn't nice to me then I'd feel better and my stomach would not be in knots. I wouldn't be thinking about everything I was doing with Tawny behind her back. She felt shitty for not being a sister and I felt somehow responsible for the break up of her and Tawny. ".. It made things easy.." she continued, "not seeing you all the time and just replacing that with money seemed better. You know you're like dad... how you talk and how wise you are, you are exactly him. At first I was running from having to deal with that...our Parents' death. I was running from having to be here for you emotion
The following day was said to be new from my talk with Luh, she said I shouldn't think about anything and go to work. She'll go to school and come back again. I didn't mind that.. her being here was helping keep me busy and I also missed her.I cleaned up pretty good and put on my pants and a shirt with boots. It was a little cold. July sucked. I requested and was at work on time. "Morning boss lady.." I said the second I saw Tyra and she ached her brow at me. God she hated it when I called her that. I smiled a bit and rested my hand on her shoulder, "what can I do to put a smile on your face.." "Tell me you're ready for a meeting with Tawny in 10 minutes." Fuck!!! That I wasn't. She must have seen the horror look on my face. She laughed a bit and asked, "did you open the envelope I gave you?" Fuck... I did not do that..I swallowed, "umh.. I'm so sorry no I didn't.." She just looked at me and then I started panicking, "God Tyra please tell me it didn't hold work for today or w
I laid there on my side facing away from her. My mind was all over the place. How could I allow my body to put me at such a vulnerable position. I knew how I felt about her and I felt stupid coz I knew how she felt about me too, it was different.Her phone started ringing and she didn't even move a bit, but by the way she was breathing I knew she was wide awake and could hear it. God! That's how our calls were being ignored earler.I sighed regretting this moment already because it wasn't going to change anything. I slowly got up into a sitting position facing away from her. "..leaving already?" she said and I suddenly felt like crying. Whether I stayed or not it wouldn't matter coz she didn't want to be with me. I got up, "can I use your bathroom?" "Are you okay?" I nodded my head, "bathroom..." "You're facing it... Mimi are you sure you're okay?" If I wasn't almost in tears I was going to laugh my ass out. For someone who didn't want to be with me, she sure acted like she car
