"Wow, it feels so good to see you both again." Reeva squealed into the group hug. I went to meet them at their place.
"How are you feeling now?" I asked Mandy holding her palm and giving her a little squeeze.
"I'm fine now, Thanks'' Mandy mumbled softly.
"Yeah, now you got the time to talk. You never answered your calls or gave replies to messages. What are you so busy with?" Reeva glared at me placing her hands on her hips.
I gulped looking at her. How can this short petite girl possibly make me shiver in fear?
"I was busy..." I drawled out.
"With what exactly?" She pried breaking my hopes that she would leave the matter.
"Uhh my family from India visited, and I need to spend my time with them." I felt guilty because most of my time is spent moping around in my bedroom thinking about the wedding and Jason. To be frank I didn't spend much time with them.
"Hey Jessica"I stood by her lone desk just outside Jason's cabin, away from our cubicles. She wore a white dress shirt and black pencil skirt and matched it with black stilettos. Her usual loud makeup is replaced by a soft natural look accentuating her already sharp features.She looked beautiful, beautiful than me and it didn't go well with me."Oh My God! Amy! How are you? Are you here to see Jason, just a second."Before I could cut her, she picked the phone on her desk and spoke, "Hey Jay! Look your little wifey is here to see you. I'm sending her in."My eyeballs socked out of my pockets. I looked back at the interns. I sighed in relief as none paid attention to us and were lost in their files. I turned back to Jessica, scowled at her.And did she just call me his little wifey!The people here already dislike me, thinking I used contacts and
I sat waiting for Charlie to call out my name. He is with Jason asking the interns what they thought about the project, their review on it. Is it feasible for the company etc etc? I came to know from those who finished the interview.Everyone is getting their chance except me. It's been an hour and only 4members are done by now. My stomach is rumbling in hunger, all I had today is cereal for breakfast and then a couple of cookies and 4cups of coffee later in the day.I want to finish it soon and go home to eat the yummy dinner cooked by Stella and not to forget Zack is still waiting for me. If this is any other place other than the office I would have walked out shouting at Jason.But, sadly I'm in the office with 5 more interns waiting along with me. Anyway not that I can give any review on the project that I had, why can't he call me first."I'm so nervous. The others are saying Mr. Brown just sat with a
The weather looked gloomy today. The sun didn't shine enough and the lovely song sung by the birds is also missing. Or maybe it is just my depressing mood.I got ready for college and dragged myself down the stairs with my bag and the charts that we have to submit today in Architecture class.I was welcomed by the strong aroma of coffee. Jason is flipping the pancakes in the kitchen. Am I still asleep? I rubbed my eyes and saw him still cooking.Why is he rushing his breakfast like every day? Shoving spoonfuls of cereal to finish it and rush off to the office?"You okay?'' I asked him alarmed. Did he hit his head when we are wrestling for the remote the other day?"I'm preparing breakfast for you. You are taking the day off from college and work. We can stay at home and watch movies or we can go out shopping. I swear I won't complain this time." He said pouring syrup on the stack of pancak
"Amy, take a cab and go back home," Jason ordered after getting off the plane."What? Why?" I asked him. "Are you going straight to the office from here?""Paparazzi outside." He said removing his sunglasses and shoving them in my hand.I giggled at his action and said, "bye bye stranger" wearing the sunglasses myself. I saw Jason posing for them from the corner of my eye. I hailed a cab home.I still can't get my mind wrapped around the fact that paparazzi actually stalk him to get his pictures. A strange world it is.Missing college for 2days piled up my work. I better pull an all-nighter and finish my assignments, notes and be ready for Monday morning class.***********It's been a week since we're back in New York. All the interns are presenting their projects to Jason and four other managers.I wiped my clammy palms on my jeans and th
I dropped my phone from my hand reading the heading of the article. No, no, no this can't be true! My hands shook while I tried to grab my phone which slid under the seat in front of me."Are you okay, dear?" Logan asked me through the rearview mirror. His wrinkled eyes looked at me in worry."Ye..yeah" I took my phone back and read the heading again.New York's most eligible bachelor and Ceo of Elite Constructions Jason Brown isn't single.Yes ladies you read it right.A few days back Jason Brown is spotted at the airport with a wedding band around his finger.And New York Tabloids won't bring you any news that ain't true.After digging for a week, we came to know from a trusted source that Mr.Brown got marri
JasonMy eyelids were clamped shut and after great difficulty I managed to open them barely, allowing only a tiny sliver of light through. I tried adjusting my eyes to my surroundings.I was welcomed by blurred images of machines around me, beeping monotonously and an IV fluid connected to a vein on my wrist. A low groan escaped my throat as my throat felt drier than a Sahara.Hospital!I tried opening my lids fully and realized it was dark in the room. The only source of light coming from the glass part of the room door from the corridor. My eyelids widened when I heard a soft snore from the other side of my bed.A figure slumped in a chair beside my bed with head resting on my bed holding my hand. Her face hid behind her unruly curls. I tucked the hair behind her ear taking her petite form in. She was also dressed in a pair of hospital pajamas, similar to mine.
"Do you want me to kick him after getting discharged?" Ryan asked me out of blue. We both were sitting in the lounge while Jason is taking a nap inside his hospital room."Where did that come from? Kristina told you everything, didn't she?" I asked him narrowing my eyes at him.He knows about my fight with Jason at the office before his accident."Ryan, whatever happened in the office just forget it and if we are talking the facts then you are in no position to win against him in a fight. Jason in concussion or not." I giggled trying to change the topic. I dont want them to fight ever, let alone me being the reason.Ryan looked at me with a straight face devoid of any emotion. "I'm not talking about the fight in office, Amy. I heard you both when I came yesterday. His behavior is unacceptable."To say Ryan is pissed off is such an understatement.He looked at me observing
"Are we going home anytime soon? I'm bored" I asked Jason trotting across his cabin bored to my wits. He was looking after some files and Ryan was nowhere to be found. It's been more than an hour he left to see the whole building.Did he get lost? "You can go home with Ryan. I didn't ask you to come. It will take another 2-3 hours for me." He replied occupied in his file."You told me you came here only to sign the new deal," I asked him snatching the file from his hands."KITTY! I need to finish these and then go to the construction site to check on the progress. Give me the file.'' Jason snapped at me.I placed the file back on the table with a thud and turned around irritated. His strong grip clasped my wrist and pulled me towards him. I lost my balance and fell in his lap."Sorry, I was just lost in the file." He sighed, snaking his hands around my waist.
"I have a surprise for you❤" I have sent the message to Jason. "What is it?" He replied. "It's not a surprise if I tell you.😉" "Kitty, I can't concentrate on my work. I'm still in a meeting and Charlie is already boring me to death." "Don't call me kitty. Anyway, since mom and dad are on a trip, I gave a day off to all the staff. I'm cooking dinner for us tonight." "What the fuck? Don't you dare enter the kitchen?" "What is your problem? I'm trying to do something romantic for you. You should be fucking grateful." "It isn't romantic baby. That's a suicide mission. Did you forget the time you tried to bake a cake for my birthday and blew up the kitchen?" "Chill babe
After 3years"Mam, this is what you've finalized. If you want to change the whole aesthetic of your restaurant when the work is almost 75% done then it will lead to additional costs." Mandy explained to her client."No, why would I pay for the additional cost? Your job is to finish the interior of my restaurant within the due time and within the pre-decided cost. Is this how you rip off your customers. I will sue you and your company, remember, my brother is one of the top shot lawyers. I shouldn't have come to this place where the Ceo is just a college graduate with no experience.." The lady shook her head at me."We can do only the minor changes but here you are asking us to change the complete interior," I told her calmly.But inside I was fuming and I want to smash her head on my table. Just because the CEO and her team are just out of college doesn't mean you can push them around.
"Amy, come here" Grandma engulfed me in a hug the moment I stepped out of the car. I wrapped my hands around her fragile body. "You've gotten so thin. Aren't you eating well." She asked me moving a step back and scanning me up and down. "She eats all the food in the house along with my ears and brain." Jason teased from behind. "Then you don't have proper food at your house and your brain is probably empty." Reeva rolled her eyes at Jason, making everyone laugh. "Why did you invite her?" Jason hissed in my ear. "I'm not ready to get another round of scolding from her because I didn't invite her. I've learned my lesson the first time." We entered the resorts booked for our wedding. Uncle Raj handed over the room keys to all of our friends who
I turned and there was Jason on his knee with a ring box in his left hand.And my breath left my throat."What are you doing?" I moved a step back placing a hand on my hyperventilating heart."What does it look like?" He smirked, cocking his eyebrow up."I swear to God, Jason, if this is again one of your pranks then I will throttle your neck right here and chop your body and feed it to the wolves." I fired at him.This idiot right here couldn't confess his feelings but planned a full proposal? I am not sure."Jeez, you are killing the mood, Amy" Tracy chided me."It's true? He is actually proposing? To me?" I asked Nyla horrified.I may just pinch myself, nope not dreaming."Shit, Amy, what do you think I'm doing here on my knees the past 5minutes?" Jason asked irritated."Shut up" I yelled.
We are at a farm, hosting Nyla's bridal shower. A rustic farm-themed evening. Fresh fruits and vegetables in linen baskets. The table is adorned with teal linens and white dishes. Artichokes are placed in mason jars as centerpieces. Chalkboard menu and colorful flowers in vases.I was checking the decorations when Tracy dropped a bomb on me."I hired strippers. Don't tell Nyla, it's a surprise for her.""You didn't!" I whisper yelled, horrified."I did. Isn't it fun? Why should boys have all the fun? I'm sure the boys had strippers too." Tracy wheezed, with a glint in her eyes. This girl is gone insane."Tracy, you do realize that Nyla's mom, aunts, and even her grandma are going to be here, right?""Amy, chill, it's nothing they haven't seen before," Tracy laughed maniacally."Heck, Tracy, this is a bridal shower, not a bachelorette party. Nyla asked for
Once we are in the elevator. His palm left mine and the next second he engulfed me in a tight hug. He hid his face in my hair inhaling the scent.I wrapped my hands around his neck. I want to erase everything that happened in the last few hours, I want to ease his mind. My one hand slipped down from his neck to his back rubbing it up and down.I missed him so much, the teasing, the banter, this togetherness, heck I even missed the fights.He broke the hug and cupped my face and breathed on my lips, "thank..."I decreased the gap between our lips and didn't let him finish his words, his arms around me tightened. I closed my eyes basking in the moment. My whole body tingled as he claimed my lips, hungry and intense, sucking and nibbling on them.Thousands of butterflies danced in my stomach. My knees gave in, he literally swept my feet off the ground.His musky scent clouded
"I am not his friend. I am his legally wedded wife and one of the major shareholders of this company. If you need your job then I want the details in my hand in the next minute." I shouted enraged.The whole floor fell silent with my sudden outburst. "Are you getting that information out?" I asked impatiently."Yes, mam" The manager immediately signed his secretary to give me the details."Amelia, what are you doing here?" Charlie came running."You should go and talk with Jason. Ask him what happened, he has to clear this out to the media." Charlie said cautiously seeing me quiet."Mam, here is the information that you asked," an employee handed me Jessica's personal information printed on paper.I thanked her and walked towards the elevator in long strides with Charlie following me."Why do you need Jessica's information?""I am going to
"Kevin called." Reeva sighed."Missing your loverboy?" I teased. We are having a self-care spa day at home. We sat with sheet masks on our faces."What? We aren't a tacky couple like you and Jason. We achieved peace in the relationship." She flipped her imaginary hair back."Did you understand what you just said?" Mandy asked giggling."Sadly, NO" Reeva chortled."Anyway, why did he call?" I asked."He wants to talk some sense into Zack but every time he called Ned was answering the call and he isn't passing the phone to Zack. Kevin went to Zack's new place but the guards didn't let him enter inside nor did they tell Zack that Kevin came to meet him." Reeva said worriedly."Is he like house arrested by them?" I asked confused."I think so." Reeva sighed."Kevin can talk to him after the class," Mandy said.
Just when my car is swerving into the driveway, Jason's car was getting out. Seeing me return he got down from his car and came over."Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Nyla and Tracy called me. Why didn't you call me or the cops when you spotted him?" He asked as soon as he got in."I am fine. He is changed, Jason. I don't think he is ever going to come back. I think we lost him forever." I cried in his arms."It's okay. You are fine that's what matters now." He said brushing my hair, calming me."You are getting a bodyguard, Amy. I don't want any other discussion on this matter. It's decided." He ordered once we entered the living room.This time I don't have any objection to it. I don't know what lengths Zack would go the next time. And his driver! That guy, Ned had a fucking knife at my throat.Is he going to kidnap me earlier? Or kill me?That thought i
