09 Almost The days has been light after making the agreement with Arthur. I know I cried and almost regret in agreeing with that but I’m happy and I’m enjoying my time with him although I know it wouldn’t last long. We’ve been following our rules and to stay professional at work and he hasn’t been visiting me in my department and I also don’t ask him question that relates with the past because I hate it when he lost his mood and it’s too much to handle when he gets angry, and I don’t want that to happen. My co-workers has been curious what is my relationship with Arthur but I would answer them that we know each other through my father and he’s the best employee and his department so my father is really proud of him. I also haven’t seen Nathan in a while after what happen in Arthur’s condo but I don’t know what to do if I’ll see him after what happen so this is better. “Dad?” “Hey.” He hugged me and nodded to the employees that greeted him. “Why are you here?” I asked. “I want
10Abroad I ran as fast as I could when I saw what time it was. I pouted when I saw Nathan and Arthur so early in the airport, looking irritated at me as I walked toward them.Arthur didn’t say anything as I arrived, but Nathan gave me a deadly loo; II rolled my eyes at him and stood next to Arthur. He didn’t even look at me nor greet me. I pouted; he’s partly why I’m late today; maybe that’s why he didn’t scold me as he should.I look at Arthur as we walk towards our plane; I suddenly want to hold his arms, but I stop myself; he might be irritated even though I badly want to do it.We took a business class seat, and I’m seated beside Arthur. Nathan gave us a warning look because he’s just in the corner, but I gave him a teasing look that made him roll his eyes; he’s sassy for a guy; I can’t help but chuckle.“What are you laughing at?” Arthur asked.“Nathan is funny,” I said that made him look at me dangerously.“What?’ I nervously asked.“Don’t say that.” He said.We were silent th
11BoyfriendI wouldn't say I like this. The more this happens, the more I keep rethinking my decision. We shouldn’t do this; we have to go by the rules. Fuck and leave.And here I am again, watching him peacefully sleeping in my bed. He’s the most precious person to me when I watch him sleep; he’s so peaceful and not like he’s angry.I cough and try to shake all of my thoughts. My parents called last night while we were in the middle of our sex, and I love my parents, but I hated that they called me at a perfect time.They miss me and want to visit me here in my condo to see how I’m doing, and Arthur knows that, but I don’t know what got to him and why he slept here.I sigh, it’s still early anyway, and mom and dad are going at lunch. I’m beginning to clean my living room and kitchen and do my laundry because it has been sitting there for days.Arthur woke up while I was in the middle of my cleaning, and he looked amazed that I knew how to clean. He left long after because I forced h
12Rough “What are you doing here?” I’m at work and I was shock to see Elijah, I thought he was leaving so imagine my shock to see him here.“Visiting you.” As usual, my coworkers are intrigued by who comes in to visit me at work.“I thought you’re going back to America?” I walk him towards the pantry.“Yeah, but my flight was pushed as I have more business here than I thought.” He smile that made me crease my forehead. What does he mean by that? And why is he looking at me like that? “Don’t look at me like that.” he laughs.How can I not? I clearly told him yesterday about my affair with Arthur and he’s here and apparently he has business here that made me think is about me.I sure hope he won’t get in the way of my relationship with Arthur and of course I hope we wouldn’t get exposed because I will kill Elijah if he has anything to do with it. If his plan is to expose us he better watch out because I won’t let that happen.“By the way, your father told me earlier to hurry, we have
13Camping “Why are you here?” I look around and not letting him in. “What if your wife sees you?”He doesn’t answer and enter on my condo. “Stop calling that woman my wife.” He said and went to my kitchen to drink water.I don’t want to stick my nose where it doesn’t belong but I can’t help but be curious of why he’s here. She back, his wife is back so he shouldn’t be here.“She’s back to town?” I gulp as I asked that because I don’t really want to hear the answer to that.“No.” I’m not hallucinating right? “She’s just visiting.” I sigh, that means we’re still safe and the agreement continue.“Wait.” I bit my lips I don’t want to ask this but I have too for clarification. “When do we end this agreement?” I said.His eyebrows creased. “What do you mean? Do you want to stop this.”I pouted and shook my head. “I’m just asking to clarify somethings.”“We stop when one of us wants to get out.” He said and I nodded.Makes sense but this is a good thing right? He doesn’t want to get out of
14Team building“I don’t know what happen between you and Elijah but he’s gone now. He left and said he’s sorry. I don’t know the reason but I’m sure you have a good reason and I won’t ask for more.”Dad called me early in the morning in his office. I thought I’ll get scolded for leaving and for misbehaving in front of our guest but I’m glad he didn’t because I don’t know what I would say.“Thanks for understanding dad. I really don’t want to talk about it.” I said truthfully while looking down.I heard dad sigh and the next thing I know he hugged me. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that you would be uncomfortable in that dinner. It won’t happen again I promise.” He whispered and kiss my hair.“Thanks dad.”I hugged him tight. I miss this feeling, being dad’s baby.“I don’t know if this is the perfect time to say this.” Dad broke the hug and looks at me seriously. “As your boss I should be the one to deliver the message.” He said.“Dad you’re making me nervous.” I said.Dad smirked. “Yo
15Birthday“Why are you here?”“What do you mean? I’m working.”“You’re suppose to be home.”“Dad, I’m working and you have a busy schedule so that mean I’m busy to so I don’t know why you’re asking me that.” I said as I gather the files that dad needs to sign.“I know but your mom is waiting for you in our house, she will kill me if you wouldn’t leave now.”“Can I at least know the reason because I don’t understand what’s happening.” I said as I give him the files.“I can’t believe you forgot that it’s almost your birthday.” Dad said while signing the papers. “Now go, I’m giving you a leave, this birthday will be grand so go.” He said.“Fine.” We do this every year and I can’t believe that my birthday is approaching. Mom always throw the best parties and I’m sure now that I’m turning 24 she wants everything to be perfect especially this is the time that she’ll invite a bunch of media to feature this in any platform.Mom is sometimes like this, she was a model at a young age but stop
16Mentor“Shit!”What a bad timing to be late at work. I’ve gotten used to wake up early but it just happen that Arthur seduce me last night and I’m late for work and Flora will be my mentor. I hope she’ll understand when I arrive because I’m fucked up but on the other hand how can I think of that when Arthur is literary the reason why I’m late.“Fuck him.”I said as I lost my elegance--I don’t even know if I have those but I’m running as fast as I can and enter the elevator and fix myself.“You’re late.” Flora is sitting in my chair and looking at her watch as I arrive. I was about to reason out but she lift her finger and got up in the chair. “I don’t need reasons or excuses. I want a better performance next time.” She said and I nodded. “And just to warn you I’m not going to be nice to you because your father ask me to be your mentor and he’s special to our family. I will do what I usually do.” She said.Damn, she’s ruthless. It makes me wonder if she knows my relationship with Ar
65MomentEmily’s POVI touch my lips as I lay my back at the door. I just escape Arthur and stop myself from kissing him. I kind of embarrassed about that because I’m not a teenage girl who was going to kiss my crush. I’m over those stage and I am, I’m just forcing myself to believe it.I showered to get it out of my system but even after drying my hair and laying down in my bed I still can’t get it out of my head. I keep turning and changing my position in bed but that doesn’t help.I sigh and sit on my bed and look for things that I can do to distract myself and when I saw my luggage I immediately know what I will do.I start to unpack, yes I still haven’t start unpacking even after weeks has passed but I’m doing it right now and it does kind of help because I keep fighting with myself of why did I bring such clothes instead of the good ones but who cares right? This is just for keeping me out from thinking about what happen earlier but when I saw a box I couldn’t think straight.
64ProveEmily’s POV“Fuck.” I moan as he touch my body. I feel hungry at his kisses that when he start kissing my lips I couldn’t let go even though I need air and nor does he does.“Emily… fuck.” he moans my name as he mould my breast using his hands while kissing my faces to my neck. He didn’t just suck it but left small kisses every part of it. I can feel his hot breath that’s making me move around but his hands are in my stomach close to my womanhood that’s making me stay in place and I kind of admit that his hands are hot and it’s burning every skin that he touch but I like it… no, I love it. I love every part of this hit steamy sex we’re having after in a while.I’m sweating as hell and I can feel it dripping from my forehead but I couldn’t care much as soon as I touch his chest and he lay on top of and didn’t even warn me that he’s putting his manhood inside of me.“Oh, Yes!” I moan as he started moving on top of me and I can’t help but to bite my lips as I watch his hands in
63MistakesEmily’s POV“I don’t seem to be improving.” I pouted at Nena. Yes, I started cooking once again. I’m getting tired of staying in my room and Nena’s back so might as well use this time to learn cooking… for myself.Nena chuckled and help me instead. “You’re still learning but you’ll go there.”“Cooking isn’t for everyone and maybe I’m part of that population.”Mom and Dad went out for work early and as much as I want to cook for them I know they are escaping my cooking because every dinner it’s what we eat and I don’t know if I should be angry about that but I know I’m not good yet and I appreciate them for eating my food… even though it taste like crap.“Why aren’t you sa
62ShockEmily’s POVInhaling the air when the moment you land stepping out of the airplane feels weird… maybe because I didn’t expect to come home for something like this? Media is the last thing I’m worried about right now because they don’t really know that I’m coming back home after the controversy. Well, how would they know? Even I didn’t know that I will be coming home here alone… not technically alone Nena is here getting our luggage alone while I am busy with my phone.“Can you pick me up?” The moment I call my friends I know they will know that something is wrong but I don’t want to commute and either way I’m going to meet them might as well ask them to fetch us.“You? Where are you?” Jessie answered and there was a long pause between us. “D-don’t
61 Just in timeEmily’s POV“Nena. He’s divorce and it’s been two months and he didn’t even tell me.” My tears started to fall and Nena couldn’t believe it either that she had to check the paper that I read and when I saw her dread face I immediately knew that I was right.“Maybe he just couldn’t find the right time to tell you. Don’t cry now.” She said but I shook my head.I didn’t talk even after Nena talk to me and try to stop me from crying but when the door open again and he saw us his eyes widen and stuck on his feet.“Can I have the time alone with Emily?” Arthur said and Nena was hesitant but couldn’t do anything and leave. She whispered that everything will be alright but I don’t think so, and she left it’s just me and Arthur now.
60AlreadyEmily’s POVThe first thing I did when I walk inside is examine the house, I don’t know what to feel upon seeing the mostly empty house… no not empty but he’s not here which only means he doesn’t care about me or where I’ve been.“Are you okay? Why do you look so gloomy?” The question Nena ask made me scowl at her. “Sorry, I’m just worried.” She said upon seeing my reaction.“Where is he?” The living room is now clean probably thank to Nena. When I look at it the image of us fighting is still vivid in my mind and I couldn’t help but look away.“He’s gone to work. I’m sorry.”“You don’t need to be sorry Nena. It’s our relationship and I should be the one who’s sorry that you’re seeing us like this. We used to get along really well but I guess we’ve change and a lot have change for the past months.”It’s been a rough year for me and I don’t even know how to take it all in and I don’t know what I’ve been doing but whatever it is it’s working. Arthur and I are somewhat similar
59ProtectTW: Blood, attempted suicideEmily’s POV“What happen? I heard the employees talking about you having a fight with Bella?” It took him long enough to arrive home. I’m drinking my wine and standing in front of the window while looking at the backyard.“I’m tired Arthur, can we talk another time?” I try to stay calm even though I want to through my wine glass at him. I’m holding the necklace I pulled out of Bella’s neck earlier and I’m holding it tightly.“Emily, did you fire her?”I close my eyes tightly. He won’t listen won’t he? “Yes, so what? She’s not useful to the company and I wanted her gone because you won’t do anything and you keep tolerating her and I’m tired of seeing that.”“Emily!”My brows creased and face him. “Why are you angry? Did you like her? Is that why you gave our necklace to her?! It has our daughter inside Arthur! How could you?” I throw the necklace to him that made in shock but catch it. “You like her didn’t you? Is she the woman you slept with whe
58TeaseEmily’s POV“You will eventually need to talk to me, Emily. This isn’t how we solve our problem. Remember what we told each other? That communication is the key when we’re fighting but now you’re the one who’s not talking to me.”I gave him a death glare. “We won’t be fighting if I hadn’t caught you having a kiss mark on your neck! I even smell a girl perfume on you! And you can’t answer to that! How am I going to process everything and talk to you and how dare you blame this all on me? You put this on yourself and you didn’t go home!”“If I only I didn’t caught you in a seclude area with that James, we wouldn’t be fighting like this!”“So, it’s my fault now? It was your choice to leave and spent the night somewhere so don’t you dare blame it all on me!”“I didn’t cheat on you.” His voice became softer and his eyes looks like he’s pleading me to stop fighting with him but how could I when I’m also confuse and scared that he might really slept with someone I didn’t know.“But
57ArriveEmily’s POVI didn’t even realize that I feel asleep in the nursery while waiting for Arthur to arrive but only this time I don’t see him.As soon as I wake up I went to our room but he’s not there and there were no sign of him going home. I even ask Nena but no Arthur didn’t come home. It’s making me anxious because I haven’t heard from hear and I’m thinking that he’s in n accident or in a bar lying on the floor because of drunkenness or with a girl probably with Bella and I hate thinking about it.I don’t even know what’s worse, if he has been in an accident or with Bella in a hotel, in bed tangled up in each other. I gulp and start walking back in forth.“Where do you think he is?” I ask Nena while she’s preparing breakfast.“Ohm, I don’t know. I don’t have any idea.” I scoff at Nena’s answer I know she’s choosing the best answer to make me feel at ease but that didn’t make me any better.“You think he’s safe? Or with a girl? Please pick.” I said while biting my lips stil
