Laura's point of view“The restroom is at the second on the left of the hallway ma'am.”, the waitress directed me as I excused myself after Mr Sebastian released me from his hold.I barged into the restroom feeling hot as his touch and breath had inflamed me. My heart was beating wildly in my chest and my eardrums hammered in my ears. I rushed to the wash basin, opened the tap and washed my face with cold water that gushed from it. I then stared at myself in the mirror and saw that my whole face and neck were flushed, I sighed closing my eyes. What was wrong with me? Why was I behaving this way? I thought as I breathed heavily with my mouth open.I touched my neck as what happened back there flashed through my mind and I shut my eyes tightly. I could still feel his hands on my waist and I touched the area softly, grazing my fingers over it. I then remembered Emily's words, “he is in love with you.”Her voice resonated in my head as I recalled the look I saw in his eyes as he held me.
Laura's point of viewExcitement bubbled in my stomach, sitting beside Mr Sebastian as he drove me home in silence. He pulled up in front of my house and I oddly felt sad that our night together had ended so quickly. I looked sideways at my house and saw that the lights in the living room were on.Mr Sebastian alighted the car and came to open the door for me. He took my hand and helped me down gently and the giddiness I had been feeling from the diner intensified, and my body quivered.He looked into my eyes with a knowing smile as he kissed my knuckles and I stiffened as heat coursed through my body.“Goodnight.”, he said with a charming voice as he slowly let my hand slide out of his and walked around to his car.I stood there as my heart pounded in my ears, watching as he smiled at me with a nose and drove off. Ever slowly, I turned around and walked to the door. As I was about to knock, the door opened and Rachael squealed, startling me.“Don't tell me you have been watching the
Laura's point of viewSebastian drove into his home slowly and parked under the porch. When he alighted, he took off his suit before making his way to the door. But before he reached it, it opened and Marty came out of the house to meet him.“You're welcome Sir.”, she greeted him and he nodded with a raised eyebrow as she took his suit from him.“Why are you still awake this late?”, he asked her.“I was waiting for you to return, Sir. You never come home this late or you would have told me if you would and I can't go to bed if you haven't returned Sir.”, she explained.“I am sorry for keeping you up Marty, should have called to inform you.”, he apologized.She nodded then turned sideways for him to go into the house and she followed.“Besides Miss Lily is awake too Sir.”, she added from behind and he frowned. He thought he told her not to wait up, he thought, almost shaking his head at her stubbornness.When they got into the house, he met Lily in the living room, sitting on the couc
laura 's point of view“This is bad, really bad.” I muttered beneath my breath, my eyes scanning through the files in my hands, and my palms became sweaty while I was struck by a sudden migraine.I ran my hands to my hair right after slamming the documents into the table.“What have you been up to? What exactly have you been doing?” I asked, yet their silence infuriated me more; it seemed almost as if they were pleased to see me in such distress.“I have a deadline to hold in less than a day, and you all bring this missing file and find missing reports for me. What have you been up to all week? Even a day before, how am I to present to the board new product ideas when the entire fund for the project has been looted from scratch?” I asked again.I wasn't pleased with their stares, and I fidgested, air narrowing down my lungs, I loosened the top button on my shirt.“Should we tell Mr. Sebastian?” The head of finance is required,My stone-cold glare passed across to him and probably ran
sebastian's point of view . “What happened next?” I asked, my phone glued to my ears while I pranced back and forth down the halls. I swallowed hard, reeling in every thought of how the entire scenario could have played out. “Mr sebastain?” She called out my name. I could imagine her seated against her balcony, the laptop on her table, her feet crossed while she leaned into the armchair, her phone strapped to her ears. "Yes, Laura , you did a good job, and I'll be sure to commend you for it. I'm happy about the progress. I knew you were the perfect one for the job. Imagine if I never had you in charge of what would have happened.” I asked meekly, a faint smile on my face, before I punched myself on the couch. “Nothing else? That's all?” She asked out of sheer curiosity. I missed her. With each word she said, I pictured it in my head. My eyes were pressed firm, and her soothing voice rang like music to my ears. “What else is it that I should know about? Any other problems!?” I
Sebastian S POV. “Thank you all; Miss Laura here filled me in on the entire situation. San showed it had been handled in my absence. I appreciate every one of you for aiding her in the best way. Moss Laura here had pulled out the meeting perfectly! "Well, I on the other hand, had gotten the contract signed; it's a win for everyone, isn't it?” I asked They all giggle and chorus in unison, each excited. This was not only their habit, but also mine. I made sure to give them a slight tip whenever there's a very huge amount involved in any contract signed. “Be sure to share the money with your juniors, okay?” I asked again, tilting my head slowly and cracking up my eyebrows, knowing well that it was always one thing or another with them. Each of them was a department head, a director of a team, and I didn't want the younger lines to leave our “Also, it did come to my understanding they'd have a lot if you had a thing or two to say in my absence about Miss Laura and me, and I can s
Laura S POV.“Really, aren't you both ending the entire thing? We talked about this laura and last time all you did was actually argue back and forth about it, saying you weren't sure this, you weren't sure that yet here we are again, seriously? Helen asked, and I glanced over to see Andree aggressively tapping against his screen at the end of the room.“Andrew!” I called out his name just to be sure he wasn't eavesdropping, and not for once did he bother. It was best known to me that he enjoyed every bit of his attitude and conversations, soothing in the best manner he probably could hold it up to, and the sight warmed up my heart.“I'm sorry.” I apologized to Helen , who seemed really confused and taken aback by my actions and words."No, it's not really... I mean, I didn't mean it. Oh, please, Helen , don't give me that look.” I answered reluctantly before giving myself a satisfied spin before the mirror. “What look? I just don't get it, and at first I believed you both were kic
Laura S POV.My fingers remain curled up into my hair, my lips moving in sync to the slow jazz played through the stereo of the driver, my eyes against the window while a light drizzle of rain falls through the glass.“We are there, mam.” The cab driver called out to my attention, and I nodded with a faint smile before standing to my feet.“Thanks sir.” Before passing a bill to him, I responded.“Keep the change,” I responded to him keenly with my words. Not holding the entire thing back, perhaps if I was a little more nice, something good could probably come my way.I shrugged slowly, dragging my feet towards the entrance. I could see Helen seated comfortably on the chair placed on the porch.“Wow. That's kind of early; what happened? Did anyone get into an accident? She asked about lighting up the end of her cigarette. I rolled my eyes, trying to hold in my pain.“Nope, nothing of that sort; maybe worse, you know what? It doesn't even matter; I'll end up walking away on my own term
Sebastian 'S POV.“Are you happy with me, laura ?" I asked out of the blue as soon as she walked out if the bathroom was dabbing her hair with a towel. She tilted her head slowly, her eyes pinned in my direction, probably losing sight of words.“What... what do you mean?” She asked again while pulling closer to me. Her head rested against my chest while a smile pushed up to her lips.“The wedding, being my bride staying with me, are you happy about all of this or are you staying with me because of the baby?” I asked her, putting out my worry and, truth be told, signing the marriage papers with her as we stood on the podium. I was worked up, and hearing the judge call us husband and wife had worried me a whole lot, but I knew it was probably tension of being! arrived again after so many years.Yet there she was, beaming with smiles all through, not for a bit showing any form of panic.I didn't want to let my words or thoughts get to the best of me, and I could not help but unwind my he
CatherineI couldn't understand where the problem came from! The week ran by real fast for Chris and me, but I realized two nights ago he had gotten a call from Matt, which made him really screwed up.Matt and I weren't on the worst ends ever, truth be told, although it did bother me seeing how things wound up. I didn't like his gloomy vibe.I dabbed my hair with a towel continuously before getting closer to him. For a kiss, he pulled away from a frown on his face.“Not now, Catherine ." He uttered a stoic expression. On his face, so far he wanted to have fun. I shrugged my shoulders before pulling myself into my flip-flops.“Suit yourself.” I responded before dragging my feet grudgingly towards the waiting room.I picked up my phone and surfed through my messages terribly bored.Glancing behind me carefully, sure that Chris ’ was not around, I surfed deeper into my phone, going through my private chats on Snapchat.Everyone else had texted me, some bunch of DMS, some other thirst
Catherine 's point of viewA yawn eased through my lips while I rolled through to the other end of the bed. My hands tapped slowly against the body, just like they had usually done.But there was nothing there.I parted my eyes and brows hastily, and the first thing my eyes landed on was the huge mirror.Right across the room, my very own reflection mocks me. I looked like a mess.A sigh eased through my lips while I pushed further away from the bed ; I wasn't getting it. What could possibly be wrong such as that Henry didn't sleep home the previous night.On my first attempt at trying to collect the memories of the previous occurrences, but then I felt an insane urge to retch, I picked my head towards. While I spilled out all the contents in my belly, retching terribly, I turned on the tap in the sink to have my face wiped. And then it dawned on me...“Matt!” I blurted out all at once, darted towards the door, and I dashed out of the room. My eyes scanned through the environme
Catherine 's POV.I turned on the tap in the sink, sure to have satisfying noises like puking and gagging coming out loud from the bathroom. A sly smile pushed up my lips while I washed off my face and began to pant hard and breath heavily. I drew closer towards him right outside the door with shaky feet.“Can you please help me get a room? I don't feel too good. I need to rest.” I muttered beneath my breath; my voice was shaky and my tone was thinning out at the end, all in an attempt to convince him.He looked just like he had bought my entire act, judging from the worried look in his eyes.“How about I drive you home instead? You can pick up the car later tomorrow. He offered just like I expected, but I wasn't stupid enough when planning ahead to use the rain as some dumb excuse.“Henry , he's out. He went off. I don't know why , who, or where he went off to or is off to see and staying home alone won't do me any good; perhaps you could wait for a few minutes; when as soon as the
CLAIRE's POV.A knock settled on my door and a frown was quick to etch onto my face while I pondered hard and fast about who it could be, I had been tucked up in the fucking room doing nothing at all along, every damn day it was the same.The knock became persistent, and I pushed my feet reluctantly towards the dash cam. I had not been expecting anyone's texts or calls; or bits so far, I wasn't involved in the neighborhood or building as a whole; it was something that anyone had to do or say but not from my end. Besides, I had no friends, and no one knew I moved here except……“Henry ?” I asked while I pushed open the door.. He seemed to be pissed and restless while he pushed himself right through my door before settling into the couch.He had said nothing while I bolted the door locked, my eyes scanning across the room, which was in a terrible state.. I had not expected any visitor to come in by any means. I was not informed.“You didn't call..” I stuttered, seemingly surprised..
Laura's pov.I could see him avert his gaze away from mine as soon as our eyes locked, for some reason an unsettling feeling got stuck at the pit of my belly and it made me wonder how and why I was stuck up on things like this. Was he still being a cry baby because I solely refused to eat with him in public at the company?.“Good morning sebastian .” I greeted as soon as he made way towards the elevator and I followed behind him, he had said nothing even when I smiled from ear to ear,I knew I should not have requested things that made him feel petty and yes, I was terrible at explaining feelings, I could have just told him I was never good with taking things from people without doing anything for them in return, but then again, I should never run my opinions against anyone else.I swallowed hard, wallowed in my own self pity as I recalled how hard it was for me to sleep last night, been in a strange house really did take it's roll on me, Emily and I had barely gotten chance to talk,
laura s point of viewI shifted in my seat, my eyes pinned against the file placed in front of me, while I stuck up the ends of the pen into my teeth. I had been pondering the whole day on how to thank Sebastian ; he had been nice enough, and I had sent him off in a rather hasty manner the previous day, which probably registered me as nothing better than a weirdo to the public as a whole, although I knew I needed to make certain amendments.“laura ?.” a voice called, drawing me out of whatever fancy land I had been drawn into.“Yes, how may I help you, please?. '' he asked with a smile settled on my face as I responded to the young man who stood before me. He worked with Sebastian , so I knew almost immediately that it was related to him already.“Mr. Sebastian had asked for you, so I think it's in your best interest that you check with him right now; it seemed urgent.” He added at the end of his words and turned down his feet even before I got a chance to respond.I stood to my fee
laura 's point of view It's been four weeks already, Four weeks after Sebastian had asked me out , four weeks of pure Bliss and happiness he loved me just as much as I loved him. We both had no intention of putting a leash on our emotions. “What do you think?.” I asked and swirled right in front of him, he looked rather exhausted but I wasn't done. “this is the one, it looks perfect I mean, it's the best it brings out your eyes and all.” he complemented with a smile, I turned my gaze from the mirror and glanced at him, slowly I approached him. “My eyes are blue, this dress is green, it does not bring out my eye color Sebastian , I told you to pay more attention to the color stripes, the design of the folds and curves of the dress.” I complained. A giggle came on from the other end, I glanced up and several workers scurried away in haste as they realized I caught them off guard. “Are we not done yet?.” Sebastian asked lazily but I rolled my eyes in my head , drew cl
“Get away from me, you creep!” Emily screamed as soon as she pushed her eyes open. A sudden heavy migraine attacked her as soon as she had spoken, and just then did she realize how much alcohol she had drank the previous night. Dustin, on the other hand, split his eyes slowly, rubbing slowly on his orbs, trying to recall the compelling situation he found himself in. He recalled drinking a little the previous night, and then the new cycle followed up; they had a few more drinks with laura , yet as soon as laura made her way out of the house, she realized what a great deal of fun they were having and then drank some more. Then, after three asn, he had not stopped. He won't necessarily be expected in the office. Although he knows things might get awkward between him and laura , which is why he lied about having a thing or two to do, I was hoping that eventually, if she came to push, the entire thing would be off their shoulders. He took a quick glance around, his mind laced wi
