Jen sat at the edge of her bed, waking up from yet another dream about Leon Micheals. Ever since they had met, she could not seem to get him off her mind even if she tried. She had a project she was supposed to be submitting so she decided to get up early to try and just work. She sort of wished she had not met him, she guessed it was true what they said about crushes, they were always better left as just crushes. It was fun fantasizing about him from afar, meeting him had just put her hopes way too high and now she just felt like total crap.As she went about making her and Kim a quick breakfast, she thought about the scent of his cologne, those beautiful stormy eyes that had left her feeling all sorts of ways. No, this could not do, Jen thought as she typed away at her laptop, finishing up with the difficulty she had never experienced before in her whole life. Even with how much she had loved Kimmy’s father, he never took her attention from important stuff in her life, like her work
This was their first meeting alone, thought Jen as she stared at Leon's beautiful lips. "Stop looking at your boss's lips you pervert!" Jen reprimanded herself and she watched him talk. She wanted nothing more than to kiss him, lay him on his back and just do whatever she thought he would enjoy. "As much as I enjoy having your eyes on me Jen, it would be much better if you did something about whatever dirty thoughts are in your head."It seemed Leon had realized her feeling for him and was milking them for all they were worth. Jen hated herself for being so weak in front of this man who seemed to enjoy torturing her with words. He always said the most naughty things to her but never actually did anything about it and that was what angered Jen even more. She felt he was treating her like a she was not woman enough, saying all the right things but not actually wanting to go through with them."Mr. Micheals, I know you're well aware of my feelings for you and as much as I hate being like
It had taken them almost six months, but things were looking up for Navarro enterprises, having bagged themselves a newer generation of investors including Leon who had close to begged Beau to let him buy shares, actually confessing that his initial plan was to suggest buying shares first but he had been too excited to not share his ideas first. Beau’s old investors were also coming back and as much as Beau could be a vengeful person, this was business and he knew he would have also taken his investment from a company that looked like it was being run by little children. Tonight, Beau had begged Kaia to host a small party as a way to welcome their new investors and old ones alike, wanting to reassure them over and over that they were safe and nothing would happen to jeopardize their money as long as him and Kaia were still overviewing the business side of things. Kaia was starting to feel the pressure of being a Navarro woman and as much as she hated Patricia, she understood why none
Beau felt like he had at their wedding, alone and neglected. But seriously, when had his parents ever made him feel anything other than those two emotions? He always hated the moment these unwanted memories and emotions came flooding his mind because he prided himself in never faltering, whether physically or emotionally, had even worked hard to perfect the poker face that had made him who he was in the business world. Beau could not deny how human he was when these stupid, childish emotions wreaked havoc and he hated not feeling like he was superior to everyone in the room. Beau had had a horrible childhood at the hands of both his mother and father. His father was never around, always at some business meeting or somewhere with some woman and whenever he was home, what he always made sure he did was make Beau feel inferior and useless. His mother had just played the perfect wife, pretending not to see that her husband was cheating on her right under the same roof, without even carin
Kaia left the bathroom with a forced smile on her face and blended back into the crowd. There was no sign of Beau in the crowd but it was a good thing because with the anger issues she had as well, it would not end well for either of them. For the first time in her life she felt like hitting him, punching him in that beautiful face if need be. He had been very disrespectful to her, making her feel like the lowest scum of the earth. She was his wife for God’s sake, he should not be treating her like a freaking hooker or a one-night stand.She could not wait to get everyone out of her house so she could find her coward of a husband. Whether he wanted to or not, they would talk about this and sort it out, whether on their own or with a professional. She realized she should have said no to him as soon as he had pulled her dress up, made him confront whatever fucked up feelings he was going through and then maybe he could have gotten some ass after that, but only as consolation and a rewar
69Kaia and Beau had been keeping to themselves way more than they had intended, guiding each other in both their professional and personal, so much so that when Kaia finally took Luna to visit Jen and Kim, she had not expected the mess she would find Jen to be. “Jenny, what is going on?” Kaia almost panicked, especially when she did not find Kimmy in the house. What had her friend been up to, what happened to Kim and Jen’s mother who offered to be around as much as she could when Jen decided it was time to move out again.The house smelled like it had not aired out in a few days and she could smell the strong scent of cigarettes in the room, indicating that Jen had gone back to smoking after such a long battle with nicotine withdrawals. She wished she had not brought Luna and her only option right now was to open the windows to air out the whole place and let some light in. Jen was curled up in a ball on her couch, staring lifelessly at her screen, looking like she was not even seei
Kaia was slowly getting fed up by everything life was throwing her way. How was she supposed to continue healing, continue growing from her traumas as well? Was she being selfish for wanting a break from everything happening all at once? Beau and Jen had been by her side no matter what, was it fair that she was getting to a breaking point already? Kaia just wanted things back to normal again, things changing before her just made her very uncomfortable. Leon sat at the far end of the car and listened to Kaia furiously tap on her phone then a call came in, “Hi baby,” there was bit of silence on her end of the line as she listened to other person on the phone, then she snapped, “You listen Beau Navarro, and you listen good. I did not ask you if you could take time, I told you I talked to you secretary and she moved your meetings around. I am on my way to pick you up right now so you better have your laptop bag because I will go without you, trust me on that.” Man, Leon would not want to
“Why are there only two rooms Kay? You do remember Leon and I are not together any more, right?” Kaia loved Jen dearly, but times like these and questions like the one she just asked, the one that made her sound like the most childish piece of shit Kaia knew, made her so, so angry. “Girl, if you do not get out my face with that mess…” Kaia said, sounding like she had way more to say but she would rather keep it to herself. Beau stood close to his wife, always having a hand on some part of her body, just so he could calm her down because he knew for a fact, that his touch calmed her down more than any words any of them could utter. She took a deep breath, handed Leon the key then said, “You guys are adults now, I am sure sharing a room won’t kill either one of you. With the limited time I had to plan this, with this being the best hotel here, I did not want go searching for yet another room elsewhere because this is where I want to stay tonight. Sort your shit out!” Jenny felt like a
