I felt my heart race in its cage and I immediately cleared my throat, "what are you doing?"

He reopened his eyes and looked down at me, "oh," he let go of my waist, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to... I just thought you know since this might be really happening... Don't mind me, I should have discussed boundaries first. I 'm sorry." He lowered his gaze.

"It's okay, I'm not ready for that type of commitment yet."

"Understandable, we are going to work at your pace. How could I tell him we would never, and that I wasn't going to be working at any pace.

"So do you want to come with me? I'm going to dad's company for-" he started to say.

"Maybe tomorrow," I cut him off, " I really just need to rest after last night. Once I'm up on my feet, we can do anything you want."

"No don't say it like that, it sounds like I'm forcing you into activities with me, that's the last thing I want trust me." He shook his head, "take the rest you need, I'll see you later."

I nodded at him and once he left I

    It wasn't until evening that I left Daniel's room and it was because I got a text from my dad to meet him in the living room."Do you have to go?" Daniel groaned as I attempted to get to my feet."What do you seriously expect? We've been together for the last five hours. I got a text from my dad." I sighed, "don't worry if I can, I'll sneak in here and we will spend the night together.""Uh, best trip ever, this is the kind of work I love to do, getting paid while doing nothing but spending time with the woman I love the most." He leaned forward to try to kiss me when his phone also notified him that he had just gotten a text. "It's your dad and he wants me downstairs as well.""Ugh, I wonder what's come up now. " I clicked my tongue and hopped off the bed."You go on, I'll catch up with you guys later." He said.I nodded at him and didn't bother to go to my room first, I just smoothed the wrinkles on my clothes out.Dad, Danny and Henry were waiting downstairs for me. "Hey dad, what'

    I had no idea when I slept off but when I woke up it was night time. I blinked multiple times trying to make sense of where I was and then realised the pain I was feeling in my ankle and everything suddenly came back to memory.I sat up properly in bed and reached for my phone beside me. I flinched when my bedroom door came open and looked up to see who it was, "Daniel?""Henry, actually," her came further into the room holding something in his hand and coming further into, "hope you are doing better now? Does your ankle still hurt? Do you think you can walk properly?"I smiled at him, "trust me I'm fine, see?" I wiggled it in his face. "I'm fine don't worry too much about me.""Good to know you're doing fine, I've been coming to check regularly but I didn't want to wake you up." He handed the pack to me, "your dad asked me to give these pills to you.""Ok thank you," I nodded at him."You must be hungry, you've been asleep all day I'll bring you something to eat so you can feel bett

    Daniel povIt was only a few days but it seemed like forever since I had been at my apartment. Just as I got out of the bathroom, I could hear the finishing bits of my ringtone playing , running the towel through my hair, not bothering to wrap one around my waist since I was home alone.I picked my phone up and the phone call ended. It was Jennifer. I still had my heart unstable from her father's claims and what he had said. I decided to put my clothes on and return the call. The man had not given me the chance to say goodbye to her. Just asked me straight to pack my things and ordered a driver to take me to the airport.When I had on my clothes I laid on the bed in my shorts and tank top pulled my phone out and how the number again there was no answer. I thought maybe she was upset with me for not picking up earliery.I couldn't stop thinking about her the whole time. I didn't think it was fair of her dad to ask me to stay away from her especially because he had no right to be such

    Daniel povGetting ready for work the next day did not seem like it normally would, I was actually reluctant to leave my house especially after my encounter with Mr Jenner last night I felt like he was going to lay me off sooner than later now that he had suspicions that I probably had feelings for Jennifer. Well better start looking for another job that could maintain my luxurious lifestyle.I tried to call Jennifer this morning but her phone number kept taking me to voicemail so I gave up. She has not returned any of my calls from last night and the only conclusion was that she was either angry or her father had put something in her head against me.Wasn't she at least curious to know why I left? There was just so much work for me on my desk because it was Mark that I left for a business trip so thankfully nothing at piled up and I just had to look at the most recent advertisements that we were going to be placing when a knock came on my stall. "Who is it?" I raised an eyebrow in c

    I immediately went after Jennifer this time around I wasn't really bothered that there were so many people looking at me. It was crag to me how quickly I lost her in the sea of heads but then I found her taking the main exit, I immediately went after her, holding her wrist to stop her when I caught up with her but that was a mistake because with her free hand she slapped me hard across the face and turned around to leave. It was a struggle for her because regardless of the pain stinging on my face, "I'm not letting you go until you listen to me, let's go somewhere, coworkers are watching ""Let them watch!" She snapped at me and yanked at her wrist again, breathing heard. It wasn't my intention to hurt her, but letting go of her was not an option right now. "It's not what it looks like, you have to trust me.""So what is it then!" She shook her head and smiled sarcastically, "oh my God Daniel we were only separated for a day, you know I was starting to think oh hey maybe you actuall

    JenniferMy phone buzzed in my hand when I got to Stella's apartment. It was a text from Daniel.'i just spoke to Sarah to need to give me a chance to explain myself, where are you?'"Stella's." I simply texted him. There was a huge that was off about this place and I wanted someone to know where I was at least. Not like she'd kill me or anything.I turned my location on and knocked on the door of her two bedroom she shared with her college roommate.She opened up in her night gown, her usual bubbly behaviour vanished."Hey." She sighed."Well so you going to let me in?" I raised a brow at her. Things were already as awkward as they could get, she didn't need to make it even awkwarder.It was already past seven and one of the main reasons I had agreed to come here was because even when I wanted to listen to her side of the story I basically had nowhere to go to."Yeah sure," she stepped aside and let me in. She couldn't hide how awkward she was feeling, clearing her throat and cracki

    I jumped to my feet when I saw Jennifer's call coming in. I realised now that I had missed her text message telling me she was at Stella's and I hurried to answer the phone, so much going through my mind. I wondered if she had maybe gotten in a fight and now someone was calling me to tell me she was not doing okay.When I'd been unable to reach after leaving their house. I had gone straight for a bar to drink, longing for the feeling from the night I was drunk."I just saw your text, are you okay? Why did you go there? Is anything wrong?" I don't know what I was expecting but definitely not the calm voice that came after."Relax Daniel, I'm fine, I'm just waiting for a cab to come get me or something...""Where are you?" I asked her sharply, not waiting for her to finish her sentence, "I can come get you." A whole sense of relief washed over me."I'm at the bus station actually, I wanted to see if I could find a bus that would take me to your place from here but there isn't so...""My

    JenniferWe laid in bed naked next to each other, my head on his chest while his hand stroked through my hair strands, just sniffing his scent and being here with him was all the peace I needed in the world right now.He kissed the top of my head and sighed, "Stella showed me a video today, that's what led to her being in my office today.""What was it about?" I looked up at him, drawing circles along his chest with my index finger."She showed me a video of your sister basically making out with a random guy and so I was at your house earlier today just to confront her even after I saw the video I still had some doubt that she would do something like that, turns out I went at the right time, the child she is carrying isn't even mine."It took me a moment to process his dirds before I finally blurted aloud, "what?!""Yeah you heard right.""That can't be real, it can't be.""I can't believe it either.'"The only reason I fucking agreed to this whole Henry madness is because I thought i

    The day was here. It hadn't even started and I was already tired of it.This fabulous definition of a small wedding was nothing like I have ever seen. First off, their small wedding guests were almost three hundred in number. Sarah had made sure that we all went to the order of events multiple times. Her immediate family members were expected to have gotten to the reception by seven in the morning and here I was still in bed, snuggled against Daniel by freaking six thirty in the morning.She's going to be so mad at us."She shouldn't be here for long," I replied, "Carol's going to be here any second, I'm sure the only reason we are yet to hear a reaction from her is because she's been caught on the web of a particular activity and couldn't show up to break our doors down."We should actually get to our feet." Daniel kissed my head gently.I stood up reluctantly knowing he was right. The living room had been transformed since the day we came into a whole event center. All the chairs,

    The next morning was a hassle. Carol had come upstairs banging on the door of our room trying to force everyone awake and it was genuinely annoying since we'd slept so late last night."We have to go shopping, get up." She raised her voiceDaniel's arm was around me and he groaned when I tried to get up. "Don't leave." His thick and husky voice called in a low tone, his eyes still closed."I don't think she's going to stop," I groaned, snuggling closer to him."She'll have to give up, the doors locked, she's not forcing her way in." He said and I nodded against his chest and tightened my hold around him.I winced as she suddenly began to pound on the door. "Yeah she's not going to give up." I groaned and reluctantly got to my feet.Daniel still stayed in bed as I managed to pull myself towards the door to talk to her. I still didn't know how she was related to the family but I didn't like her.She was pounding heavily when I unlocked it and she'd almost hit my face, "what is it?""You

    Daniel and I had packed our bags the day before and headed to the airport. I called my sister and she sent one of the Banks' drivers to come pick us up so here we were pulling up in front of the Banks mansion."Weird to say this but feels good to be here again," I told Daniel, undoing my seatbelt and getting out of the car. I actually looked forward to this whole thing."If you say so." He chuckled.We both got down, Daniel and the driver took our bags from the trunk and led us into the mansion. I loved the familiar smell of the wet bushes. "Well it's the moment of truth," I thought as we made our way to the main entrance I had so many questions and I was finally going to get answers to all of them.Sarah was waiting at the door, she pulled me into a hug the moment she saw me squeezing the life out of me, "I can't breathe I cannot breathe." I flailed my hands around trying to get the hell out of her grip.She let me go after bursting into a long laugh, "I'm so sorry, I just got so exc

    "Come on you can't be serious!" I groaned at my phone after reading the text message Daniel had sent to me. He was supposed to come pick me up after work but according to his text message the route he normally took was heavily blocked by traffic and so he had to go through a different path.I was pretty annoyed because I had expected him to come pick me so I didn't take any change of clothes since he had been the one to drop me in the morning. I just left home in my swimsuit and nothing more. "Did you really have to do this tonight?" I mumbled aloud to myself as I trailed down the street that led to our house. It would take me at least forty five minutes to walk back home and it was past eleven p.m . I finished at work by 9 p.m. The only reason I was here till this time was because I was waiting for Daniel to come pick me up and by now all the shops around us were closed and it was starting to get lonely and creepy so he asked me to leave because he would not be able to make it in

    The next day was a Saturday. Neither one of us had work today. I was chopping onions to make breakfast with in the kitchen when my phone rang out loud from where I'd left it.I furrowed my eyebrows, I barely got called when I wasn't away from Daniel as he was the only one constantly blowing my phone up."Could you please pass my phone?" I called to him.He skipped into the kitchen and gave it to me, wrapping his arms around me from behind and planting kisses on my neck.I looked at who the caller was and gasped."What, who is it?" He asked out of plain curiousity."My dad." I said and the look on his face matched the surprising one on mine.Since I moved away from the house my dad has not called me for once. Every now and then I will hear from my sister or my mum but he didn't even want to know how I was feeling and I did just come to the conclusion that our relationship was over."Do you want to answer it?" Daniel wondered."I guess so, I mean why now?"I was curious to know what yo

    A few weeks later."Here you go, our special pasta Dran meal." I served the plate to a couple sitting on the first table. It had been three weeks since I started working at Hooked on the waitress. It was a restaurant where we served food wearing swimsuits that were form fitting and showed a lot of cleavage.At first I was sceptical taking the job then when I heard that the pay was $50 per hour and I could work for eight hours a day I hopped on it straight away.The best part of it was Daniel and I had moved to this side of town because his new job at a different print company was an hour drive away and the restaurant was a fifteen minutes drive from home.Speaking of Daniel, there he was sitting on one of the tables, pretending to look through the menu as though his eyes were not heavily fixed on me. I was heading back to the kitchen when I stopped in front of him for a brief second, "sir, what will you be having?""Your best meal," he lowered his voice, "you." I rolled my eyes "chee

    I spent one more night in the hospital before clearing everything. I had not been looking forward to leaving the hospital now that I knew my dad was kicking me out of his house. I did not regret standing up for myself because I deserved to put him in his place. I just wished he would have given me more time to prepare."You know you are staying at my place, right?" Daniel asked as he drove my Mom, sister and I back to our place."Only for a few days before I'm able to get my own place." I reminded him. The last thing I wanted was to be like a leech on his back."We will talk more about this." He kept his eyes on the road and I would also prefer to talk about it in private.The ride back to her place was a very quiet night of us seeing any of our thoughts aloud.We got to the house and my mum went upstairs before us, "I'm just going to check if he's in the room and I will talk to him and just make him understand that he is being such a dummy all the entire situation."I understood tha

    Jennifer It had been a week since my shooting and I hadn't been strong the whole time. I knew they weren't exactly allowing families to connect with each other but I had yet to recover from the shock of it so I spent most of my time not knowing of my family meeting but today I was fully back to my senses. My sister and parents were by my side. My mom was stroking my hair, sitting at the foot of my bed with all this hospital equipment still connected to me."How do you feel now?" She asked me for the umpteenth time. She probably expected me to stumble and pass out. I heard I'd undergone surgery to have the bullet taken out and I had zero memories of it. it had to be the seamless surgery ever."Mom, I'm fine, relax." I rolled my eyes at her, my dad still wasn't talking to me but it didn't matter. I winced at the slight pain I felt on my shoulder where the bullet had hit me. The pain relief medications were helpful, but the image of me being fired created a weird phantom pain."Where'

    DanielI watched her fall to the floor, my mind unable to make sense of what just happened. I saw the blood oozing around her naked body and I couldn't tell where it was coming from.The police barged into the apartment right at that minute. The fucking bastards were just coming after it had all gone down.I picked up the gun, not caring about what the repercussions of my actions could possibly be, I pointed it at the man that had shot her and one of the officers came to hold me back, taking the weapon from me before I could even fire it."Fucking let me go!" I called on the top of my voice. "he's killed her, he has to fucking pay for this!" I cried. I heard the police team saying a few words as they arrested the entire gang but my head couldn't wrap around it at all.There was a medical team buzzing in after the poliice had packed the men, "let me fucking go you bastards." I pulled free from their grip and went to kneel in front of her.A nurse lifted her onto a rack with his colleag
