Chapter - 1 : Nightmares

"Jessie... Jessie! Wake up!" Rose's voice pierced my ears. I rolled over and pulled my blanket over my head to reduce the sound. "You have an important meeting today." My eyes snapped open at the mention of the meeting. Oh, shit! I shouldn't have overslept. Or at least I should've woken up when Rose first came to me. She had been trying to wake me up for about fifteen minutes. Ditching my comfortable blanket, I quickly got down from my bed. The moment my feet touched the cold marble floor, my head spun and I fell back on the mattress. "Jessica!" Rose gasped as she approached me. My eyes closed again and I shook my head before making them open wide. Rose's panicked face was hovering over my drowsy one. I gave her a thumbs

Chapter - 2 : Girlfriend?

"Looks like someone has plans tonight." My gaze followed the voice. Rose was leaning against the door frame of my room with a smile on her face. Just like her name, her rosy skin-tone was flawless. The curls of her long brunette hair were a little messy. It looked like she came to me directly without even changing out of her work clothes. "I'm going to a party." I leaned closer to the mirror as I applied a bright red lipstick on my lips. "Party!" she exclaimed. "Can I come?" "No." I shook my head. "Why not?"  "Because I'm going with..." I trailed off, a strange feeling stirring within me. I was about to say his nickname. "W

Chapter - 3 : Dream

"Wha—" He cut me off by placing his lips on mine. My eyes grew wide and my breath hitched. He pulled back the very next minute. Tongue-tied, I stared at him.Did he just kiss me? Oh God! He introduced me as his girlfriend, too."Nice to meet you, Jessica Williams," Katherine said coldly and took a sip from her wine glass. I couldn't react as Mike's hand trailed from my shoulder to my waist, sending shivers through my body. He pressed my waist gently, shifting his gaze from me to Katherine."Ni-Nice to meet you," I finally said."Hey, babe, can we talk?" Mike said, looking at me.Babe?Before I could reply, he turned to Katherine and said, "Excuse us. We nee

Chapter - 4 : Ex - girlfriend

I threw his door open and shouted, "Mike!""Shh." John placed his index finger on his lips, gesturing for me to be quiet.I nodded, sighing. In my frantic craze, I almost forgot that John had mentioned that he was coming over. Relief washed over me as my eyes drifted to Mike, who was sleeping on his bed peacefully. I didn't fail to notice the alcohol bottles lying on the floor next to the bed. John came to me and jutted his chin towards the hallway. We both walked out, closing the door behind us."What happened?" I asked John as soon as we were out of the room."Nothing."I frowned at his answer. The whole living room was a mess and Mike was still sleeping instead of getting ready for work. How could he say that nothing had h

Chapter - 5 : His Past

Rose and I sat on the long couch with our arms crossed over our chests. We were staring at John, who was sitting on the opposite couch. His expression was clear that he knew he couldn't escape this time. When I'd told Rose about today, she had fired question after question at him, but he hadn't answered one.When Katherine had refused to leave, Mike had left the office. Momentary happiness had washed over me when I'd realized that the meeting had been canceled, but I'd been horrified when Katherine had glared at me. She had been mad at me because she still thought that I was Mike's girlfriend.I didn't know why but I had avoided eye contact with her. I'd felt like I had done something wrong when I had done nothing. She had left, ignoring me."Are you going to tell us or not?" Rose demanded.

Chapter - 6 : Little Secret

"Are you crazy?" I blurted.After last night, I was ready to help John with anything to make up for what I had done, but this was insane."I know it sounds crazy, but you're the only one who can help Mike.""Why me?" I raised a brow."Because Katherine still thinks that you're his girlfriend," he explained."I know...but you should have seen the look she gave me the other day." I dramatically rubbed my arms as if I had goosebumps before adding, "She's scary..."He laughed at my reaction. "Well, you learn quickly. She will do anything to get back with Mike. She even convinced Mr. Nelson to make her the brand ambassador of our new project."

Chapter - 7 : Kiss

Everyone looked at me with confusion drawn on their faces. The employees were staring at us through the glass door even though they couldn't hear a single word.Nervousness kicked in me. There were so many eyes on me. My mouth sealed in fear. By the way Katherine narrowed her eyes at me, though, I knew I couldn't back out now. It would prove that she was right and I didn't want to see her devilish smirk again.I gulped and looked straight into her eyes. "Yes, it was because of me," I repeated. "I asked Mike to keep our relationship a secret because I didn't want any rumors in the workplace. I don't like to mix my personal life with my professional life."I risked a quick glance at Mike and John (whose lips were parted slightly and eyes were fixed on me) before shifting my eyes back to Katherine, who had a frown on h

Chapter - 8 : Friends?

"It happened in the heat of the moment. I didn't plan to do it." Mike gave a nonchalant shrug. I held back a heavy sigh. "Why are you making this conversation more uncomfortable?" I asked John, frowning."What?" John's forehead creased. "I'm making this uncomfortable? God, please save me. It was you guys who kissed and made me feel uncomfortable."I scoffed. "Don't tell me that made you uncomfortable. How do you explain making out with Rose right in front of me in our living room? You would be very comfortable—""Oh, shut up!" "You shut up!" I yelled back."Enough!" Mike shoute

Chapter - 9 : Best Friend

As I entered my apartment, my gaze fell on Rose and John, who were staring at me as they leaned against the couch in the living room.I didn't need to guess because I knew John very well. He had told her everything. The look on Rose's face confirmed it.I didn't have the energy to answer Rose's endless questions so I tried to ignore them and ambled towards my room. She rushed to me and blocked the door before I could enter my room, though.Her arms were crossed over her chest as she leaned against the doorframe. "So, tell me, what's going on?" Rose's voice was filled with anxiety. Knowing that she wouldn't leave until I told her everything, I sighed. I walked to the couch and slumped on the opposite couch of John. Rose followed me and sat next to her boyfriend.

Chapter - 10 : Weekend

No matter how many times I asked Rose, she didn't tell me where we were going. Eventually, I gave up and just followed her.Twenty minutes later, we were in front of a mall that had recently opened. Rose had wanted to come here as soon as it opened but we'd both been too busy last week.In one week, my life had taken a roller-coaster ride. It'd all started when Mr. Daniel Nelson had invited Mike to the party. I had to admit, this "friends" thing with Mike was new and kind of interesting.Rose linked her arm with mine and scurried inside the mall while I teetered along with her. She stopped in abrupt motion, giving me a chance to breathe. "I told you we were going to be late," Rose hissed, jutting her chin towards her left. "See? They're waiting for us."
