Evans I open the door and see my Barry standing there after the loud knocks.“Hey, you're still awake,” I said to him,“Yes man, I wanted to get some milk to help me sleep but then I heard Amelia's phone ring from your room.” “Amelia's ringtone?” I asked him to play dumb. I knew it had to be anyone at that point, good thing I hid her in the bathroom before I opened the door. “Yes, I know her ringtone anywhere and it came from this room.” “Ah, the sound you heard. It was— f…from a video of some sort.” “Ohhhh, you didn't tell me you're into girly things.” He cocked a brow, smiling sheepishly.“Someone sent it to me.” “Is there a new woman that I don't know of?” “Well—“You know what—I'll bring some whiskey over, we need to catch up on old times buddy.” I didn't have the time to decline as he hurriedly left to get the drinks. I walk to the bathroom to see if Amelia was still there. I open the door and see her hand on her cheek, trying not to make a sound. “He went to get some dri
Amelia I wake up to a smell of after shave, my eyelids open but suddenly I'm met with a wet, draining—hot body. He just came out of the bathroom, but his body was—Damn!! It sparkled, dripping with water as his taut abs looking edible. I could squirm. He notices soon enough how I look at him, I started to long. “So you've been awake.” “I just woke up.” I lied turning my head over to the other side. “I know you're lying.” “I'm not lying.” I defended myself. Vance looked so edible and beautiful. His broad chest was the least of my worries because my attention was fully on his abs. How that body could do so many things to me. Choke me maybe? “You don't need to day dream about me.” His voice snaps me out of my thoughts. “Hell, no I'm not!” “Mimi—you don't have to lie about it. I saw your eyes on my waist.” I turned my face and meet him standing with crossed arms on his chest—the bulge of his arms. “I'm not lying.” He comes close to me, watching me closely. My pink blush creepi
Amelia“You're too young to be here at this time.” he said,making me scoff. I continue walking down hoping to see a taxi anytime soon.“Amelia, where the f**k do you think you're going?”“I'm going home.”“You're going home, without a car?”“I don't need one. I could get a taxi or book an uber.” I said searching for my phone when I realised those dickheads stole it without me looking.“ S**t—they took my phone.”“Come on—I'll drive you home.”“No” I disagree “Amelia stop being so f***king stubborn and get into the car.” I turn on my heels walking He catches up to me—holding my arm and pausing my steps.“It's 11pm Amelia and you think it's good to walk all by your f**king self?!”“Vance, you're not my father and you don't have any control over me. So rest assured I will walk home by myself. I don't need help from an egotistical mammal.”“Fine. You want to walk alone, I won't stop you.” he said and walked back to his car. I didn't need a lift from him. I didn't need him at all! He a
The groan that escapes his lips is low and guttural as he itches his face closer to mine—cupping my cheeks in his hands. I was drained by shock but also a little possibility of wanting to kiss him. No, you hate him Mimi—my subconscious said with my eyes closed. His hands slid from my cheeks and onto the seat belt, checking if it was in place before placing his hands on the wheel. “Uhm..” I said. “Uhm what?” “I thought—” I trailed off “You thought what?” My silence gave me up and he immediately started laughing at me. He laughed so hard, his smile wide this time. I've never seen him laugh like this. “You thought I would kiss you?” “I didn't think that.” I tried to hide my shame. Oh, my word! “Of course you did.” He continued laughing. “Well…yeah, didn't you?” I asked. He paused, looking at me for a moment before saying, “I would rather kiss a horse.” What the fuck?! No, he just compared me to a horse. An animal!! Seriously, is no one seeing the rudeness of this man?
AmeliaI was home alone today, Evans was here too. Dad was out for some business stuff and the helpers—well they were not in sight.This is the perfect time to set my test in motion. Seduction—phase 1. Urghhh, saying it like that felt like I was doing something wrong.I knocked on his door and he opened in a flash.“Hii”He gouged me, trying to see if something was okay.“What?”“Why are you in front of my room door?” he questioned.“I was passing…I wanted to ask if you would like some cookies. I'm about to bake some.”“No.” He swiftly said and was about to close the door.“Come on, I'm trying to be nice.”“That's the thing, you're never nice.”“But I can be.”“Not to me.” He said “Come on, some cookies and milk won't do you any harm.”“Amelia, I'm a 40 year old man. I don't take milk and cookies.” He sternly said.I rolled my eyes before responding, “No wonder you are so grumpy—you never take a day off.” “Can I go into my room now?” He asked without waiting for a reply and shut th
Amelia For once I wanted to at least forget about this whole marriage thing, just completely forget. Today I was having dinner with Ramon—my supposed husband-to-be. I watched them smile, Ramon and his father as they chatted with my Dad. Dad lived for this moment. His greed blindly him. “Ah, there she is. Come my sweet.” Of course, he would be so nice to me because he is finally getting what he wants through me. I sit beside Ramon and instantly feel disgusted. “She hasn't changed a bit. Still the same beautiful Amelia.” Ramon’s father, Mr Rajid said. “She has become a woman.” Dad loudly spoke and laughed. “You know when I told Ramon about the engagement he was elated.” Rajid eyed Ramon. Ramon however, didn't give that look of feeling elated at all. His head was to the food and I saw his eyes trail our chef—we have the best chef. This dinner is simply the worst. ***** “Phase one didn't work,” I tell Cassie on the phone. “Well, on to phase two.” she happily mentioned. “Cass
Evans I had to quickly get home to relax, after the scene Amelia pulled into the board room. Even if she was my best friend's daughter, I hated her guts. She annoyed the f*ck out of me but thanks to my self-control. Soon enough, I caught a glimpse of what she wore. That yellow dress was Amelia's. She looked like she was struggling to get out of his grip. No Evans, just leave. My subconscious said. I pass the aisle but soon enough, I see myself going back again. I take the bat in my back seat, using it on his head. “Who the f*ck are you!” The guy shouted in my face and I gave him a punch—breaking his nose. “I also don't want to be here, it's mutual,” I said and gave him another blow. He was no match for me because he was on the floor in seconds. **** Amelia slept soundly in my car, I wasn't going to take her up—not with my best friend at home. I drive straight to my apartment in no time she's soundly asleep on my bed. 30 minutes later… “What is this place?” I hear her voice a
Amelia Today was the day I chose my dress for the engagement. My wedding engagement. “Mimi, you've been in there for a long time now,” Cassie called. I walked out, in my 24th dress choice. “I don't want to do this,” I said “I know girl, but you have no other option.” “If I could just look for a way to get out of this whole marriage thing.” “Unfortunately, there is none. If you had a rich boyfriend like Ramon in your life. You wouldn't have to deal with all this arrangement.” Cassie said. “That's it! Omg Cassie you're a genius.” “I know I am but what'd I do?” She gave me one of those beautiful smiles of hers. “I should find myself a rich boyfriend! Someone with more influence compared to Ramon’s or my father's.” “Mimi, your engagement is in 2 days. How are you going to find that ‘perfect’ man?” “That's why we have the Internet. Come on Cassie, keep up!” **** “We've been searching for hours, there's no one with that much influence,” Cassie whined. “So I'm stuck with
