View MoreCHAPTER NINEHazel's POVFriday evenings have always been the time I kick back my heels and start the sweet weekend routine of lazing around in sweatpants. Today I am navigating my way uptown with the help of my GPS, to think I have never been to this part of town, and I have lived here for three years. The drive to Live axe lounge went by so quickly since it was filled with thoughts. Thoughts about Andrea, John, where my life is headed and Nathalie. A lot of things seem to be happening so fast. I was Jolted out of my thoughts when a car took the parking space I had in mind. I guess there is always a bit of craziness everywhere.“You have arrived at your destination” said the automated voiceFor the next few hours, I am going to take a break from all of these thoughts and have a good time exploring the fashion world.It’s a beautiful old building albeit, with modern designs, the front entrance is a wide coffee brown door, I should have texted Natalie that I am on my way I just do no
Chapter eightAndrea's POVNatalie was out with someone yesterday, I thought she said it was an after shoot party. When I got to the restaurant she was sitting inside alone, the restaurateur recognized me immediately and I stepped into the building. He gave me her purse and coat.He is the reason I know for a fact she was not with a team, she was in fact dining with someone. "A young lady, you just missed her, she called for a designated driver to take her home. Poor thing was too drunk to drive herself home." Mr Dante said to me as he helped me drag a very wasted Natalie to my car.Natalie is a very levelheaded lady, one of the many reasons I have entertained her company for so long.She is a stickler to rules, hardly does anything gossip worthy. Imagine my surprise when she drunk dialed me yesterday professing her feelings over the phone.Was that the alcohol talking? BullshitI know for a fact that moist times alcohol makes one truthful. When did those feelings start? And just h
CHAPTER SEVEN Hazel's POV “Hazel! Hazel! Are you even listening to me?” Maia grabs my shoulder and jolts me back to reality. I stare at her with confusion “ow! what was that for?”“I have been calling your name for the past five minutes with no response. I thought something bad had happened, maybe you slipped and hit your head, only for me to come in here to see you standing in front of the mirror staring at your reflection with your toothbrush dangling from your mouth like a zombie”She shakes me again so hard my teeth rattles “hazel! You are staring at me with blank eyes, what is it?”Her brows pulled up together, vertical lines appearing between her eyebrows.“You are scaring me”Peeling her fingers gently from my shoulders “I am fine Maia, I was just lost in thoughts that’s all”“By thoughts you mean; Andrea, here I was thinking you were having a stroke” she rolls her eyes.“Very funny, yes I was thinking about him among other things, I really thought I could avoid seeing him
CHAPTER SIXintentionsAndrea's povI can't for the life of me figure out what possessed me to step in her path.Her auburn tresses tumbled about her face like curtails, her attention solely on something in her hands, I'll recognize that luscious figure anywhere.She was so distracted that she did not pay attention to where she was going. I purposely placed myself in her line of walk and stopped moving knowing fully well she would bump into me. She was dressed in a grey V-neck Bodycon dress that hugged all her full figure and my eyes had been glued to her hourglass shape; a small waist and her round ass that was sporting a really tight skirt from the moment I saw her.The instant her body hit me, I almost smiled, it was crazy the reaction my body had to that proximity. I watched the look on her face change from shock to embarrassment to heat.A mirror of my own feelings I might add. She always does this to me, mess up my thinking and control my train of thoughts. I was drowning in
chapter fiveHelped by a stranger Hazel's povThe waiter drops the printed bill on the table in front of me and looks at me expectantly. Or rather we both stare at ourselves expectantly, only mine comes with a little of helplessness.How the hell did I forgot to come with my purse."It seems- I think I left my purse in the office" I stammerThe waiter looks at me with an odd expression. His nose is scrunch up in disgust as his whole features stares bleakly at me in disbelief."Is it possible I go get it and come back? Please?" I can't believe this is happening"I am sorry ma’am; I can't allow you to leave without paying company policy." The waiter informs me with a blank face."Don't you get it? I can't pay you! I left my wallet and phone in my office" I am careful not to raise my voice, people are already staring at us as it is." That is my office building across the street" I point desperately at the building across the street, hoping he would grant me the one time big favour of g
Chapter fourIntrigued Andrea's povMy recollections are tinged with supreme scorn. I swear in my life, I would never make a mistake like Hazel again. In the light of getting past my awful memory with Hazel, I throw my half-eaten sandwich into the trashcan beside my desk. That's where such memories belong. It had been a boy’s mistake. I reminded myself wryly. I am now, by far, less ignorant about the nature of the female sex. I'd never lavished my wealth on a woman who isn't more excited by my money than by anything else I have to offer. A satisfied smile broke out on my face and loosened the hard line of my wide, expressive mouth when my mind wanders off to my current lover, a gorgeous French fashion model who went to great lengths to please me in bed and out of it. And all without the fatal suffocating commitment of rings or nagging or noisy kids attached. What was not there to like? I was indeed an extremely generous lover but what was money for but enjoyment when you had as m
Chapter threeReminiscing Andrea's Pov There's no way I could ever forget that voice or its owner. The very same voice that has filled my senses for the past six years. My Thoughts trawl through treacle. Nothing makes sense. Why is she here? I ask myself a thousand times over. Why her, Of all people.? What trick and shady planes do she have in-store against me, this time around?How dare she appears to me after the evil acts she perpetrated without thinking or considering my feelings. How dare she come into my office and act like a naive stranger? But above all, how dare her, Hazel Kaitlin Moore, walk into my office looking as beautiful as before. Scratch that. She looks ten times better, gorgeous, sexy, and hotter than the last time I saw her.The woman received a couple of dollar notes in exchange for what we had. The female Judas. The same woman that threw the happiest moments in my life into the gutter and made them beauti
chapter twoFirst approach Hazel's povOkay, not what you might be thinking, though. A few seconds later, I returned from my shock, with my appetite gone. That message is the last thing I expected to see just yet. Not this woman again. I peak at the message again, and multiple thoughts and scenarios fill my mind. I am not ready to meet with Andrea; that's a known fact. The unknown fact is I am not even prepared to hear from her not to talk more about meeting with her. How did I go from bad to worse in the space of a second?Maybe it's the caffeine in my veins or Maia's words in my head, but I finally see some truth and an escape in all of this. Maia is right. I can't possibly call quit everything I've worked for all my life. It only takes one step to begin the journey of a thousand miles, they say. And I'm going to have to take my first step. I only pray it's in the right direction.I've been sitting for exactly twenty-five minutes, and I kno
chapter oneShocking news Hazel's PovIt's incredible how fast the night changes, one moment, I am drinking champagne with my colleagues, waiting for the new boss to be introduced. The next minute I am running from the shadows of my past. I've always known this day would come. I know I could never hide from my past forever, the day I would meet Andrea freaking Giovanni. What I didn't realize is that I'll feel this terrified. I guess I never really had my cake.Steering my Audi A4 compact sedan to the right, the familiar sight of my street comes in view. It's almost midnight, the road is tranquil, nearly every apartment is dark, and I can bet that almost everyone is asleep already. Everyone except me. Why am I always unfortunate?I finally pulled up at the front of my apartment after seven minutes of driving with a heavy and troubled mind and noticed that her lights in the house were on. It can only mean one thing, 'my best friend and roommate, Maia is stil
