Just when I thought there is no more drama for tonight. There stood Jason annoyed for God knows what near his bedroom door waiting for me. Just before he tried to open his mouth to speak I cut him saying,
"What did you too enrolled to be a pain in my ass today? It's late and all I wanna do is hit the bed. So good night."
I walked to my room visibly stomping my feet and banging my door shut. Changing into my PJs I slipped under the covers.
By the time I woke up, it's already afternoon and my stomach is growling. I freshened up and came downstairs to see pizza in a box with a note.
'Going out. If you want to come for Caleb's proposal be ready by 5. I will pick you.'
I heated the pizza and sat on the couch eating. God, I'm so hungry and nothing satisfies the hunger like a good pepperoni pizza.
I heard my phone ringing, I sprinted upstairs to my bedroom with
The ride back home is pleasant with Ed Sheeran's Perfect playing in the background and New York City adorned with snow and city lights made a spectacular sight taking me to a faraway la-la land.Jason cleared his throat a couple of times and that pulled me back from my daze. I turned to look at him. His one hand on the steering and the other scratching the back of his neck, his eyes narrowed together deep in thought.He turned towards me for a second and again turned back to face the road. He cleared his throat again.What is wrong with him? Did he want to ask me something or is he coming down with flu or something?"So you can fight back now?" He asked me casually still eyeing the road."Huh?" I asked confused but understood immediately what he was asking about. My cheeks turned warm."I could always fight. Remember, all the broken noses you got because of me?" I
"We just met at McD yesterday. Let's go to the new cafe that opened down the street." Zack groaned while we are on the way to McD to plan the group assignment."We aren't going to stuff our faces with food Zacky! We are going to work on the assignment." Reeva retorted."Oh come on aren't you bored of eating the same hamburgers the last 2days?" Zack whined."Tell me what wrong I did in my past life to earn you as my groupmate?" I grunted at Zack.With Zack my patience is running thin there is only so little left in me. Off lately all he does is getting on my nerves."Oh not past life Amelia, in high school... you ignored this 6ft hunkiness," Zack replied wriggling his eyebrows at me.I so want to grab the fork and stab him in the eyes but I'm not too keen on making this bohemian playhouse in jail so we will save the idea for later.Deep breathes you can't s
I don't want to repeat last night's awkward dinner. With Logan's help, I shoved the half-finished house model and all the art supplies in the car's back seat. Hopefully, the guys or the girls, one of them will agree to finish this at their place from now on.By the time I went to my interior design class Mandy and Reeva were already there."Can we please finish the model at your place after the classes? Last night was so awkward and I can't go through it again." I groaned placing my bag on the bench and taking my seat."What? I'm gonna miss the hottie. And don't get me started on all the delicious food your cook prepares." Reeva whined."You can visit later. You and Mandy on the weekends. I don't know why but I feel Jason kinda doesn't like Zack. Please!" I said folding my hands and showing my puppy face to them.Please let the puppy face work.Please... Please...
Jason By the time I finished my meeting with the manager regarding the new project as I need to recheck few things it was past 1 at midnight. Sighing I came out from my study stretching my arms and kneading my stiff neck and ready to hit the bed. The house is eerily calm. Everyone is probably sleeping. When I'm about to climb the stairs, I saw Amy walking inside with her head down and mumbling something under her breath. Her face looked red and her hands were trembling. She didn't even notice me and kept walking towards the stairs. I cleared my throat when she is about to bump into me. That got her startled and she stumbled back a little. She looked so frightened just like a kid got caught while stealing candy. Her bottom lip trembled and her hands started fidgeting. Is she okay?Where did she go this late? And Why is she so nervous? What happened? I have
Just one more day. I just need to steer clear of Jason for today, as tomorrow Ryan, Kristina, and Peter were flying back. Kristina, Peter, and Jason were invited to a social gathering. So there is no need to get worried too much.The whole day Ryan and I spent binge-watching FRIENDS. He grumbled about wasting our time together watching the one show where we can recite the dialogues even in the middle of sleep.But once it started he was the one who decided to have lunch in bed because he doesn't want to pause it. So here I'm stuck with heating the pizza for my useless best friend.If I'm good at one thing in cooking then it's heating leftover food. Impressed by my heating skills, I placed the pizza slices on a plate."What are you doing?" Jason breathed out behind me with his breath fanning my neck making my nerves all jittery in a split second and as a result, the plate dropped out of my hand.
I sat on the couch with my feet on the coffee table, practicing CAD on my laptop. I heard the main door click open. I checked my watch it is still early for Jason to come home. But if it's him? Taking my laptop, I made a run towards the stairs."Hey, Where are you running?"I slowly turned around and saw Caleb standing in the living room confused."Ohh Caleb, Hi" I sighed in relief. I sure looked crazy running in the living room with my laptop tucked under my arm."Is Jason home?""No""He told me he will be here. I will wait for him then," saying Caleb settled on the couch.I went to the kitchen and brought him a can of juice and sat opposite him."Thanks but Amy I must say your PJs are cool."I looked at myself, an oversized worn-out Hulk t-shirt which I stole from Ryan and polka dot pants."Shut up" I g
So I'm strapped to my seat. Jason sat next to me. Tracy sat before me with Nyla. Caleb sat with another guy who is his cuz. And Leo sat with a short, cute girl with nerd glasses at the back and doing what? Palm reading? "Good evening everyone. This is your captain Rowan. I would like to welcome everyone aboard. We would be reaching our destination Curacao around 2:30 am. " I heard the pilot. I looked at Jason in surprise. He was already staring at me with a smirk plastered on his face. His ego is big enough and I don't want to fuel it by saying 'Thank you for bringing me blah and blah'... So I leaned back in my seat with my hands in my lap and my eyes closed. The plane is taking off now and I don't like the sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach. No matter how many times I fly I can never get used to this feeling. Jason's warm hand gripped my cold one. "One more minute. Take a dee
Jason stood in front of me looking me in the eye. "I need to talk with you." He deadpanned. "About what," I asked casually hoping he was oblivious to the sweat forming on my forehead and my crazy pumping heart. He placed his hands on his hips and gave one intimidating look at me. And as a result, my eyes went to his 8 glorious and the muscles on his arms. I'm not a creep. The water droplets gliding across his hot muscular body aren't helping me. No, you don't want to check him out now! I turned my attention to Caleb chasing Nyla with a jet ski. He sighed sitting on the next sun lounger. "You know what I want to talk about" According to psychology, whenever we are subjected to an attack or threat of survival our brain undergoes a fight or flight response. Now, this condition is much more severe than that, so my brain just chose to flee from the situa
"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
