Sasha opened her eyes slowly, her body aches a little, she felt her hand on the bed but it was empty, she furrowed her brows and looked around the room, her eyes settled on the man sitting leg crossed on the chair near the door that leads to the balcony, his eyes were sharp, clear and cold. She sat up immediately while holding the blanket to her chest, her hair was disheveled and was blocking her face, she immediately swept it from her face and tucked some locks behind her ear with her eyes not leaving the cold man in the room.
Michael watched her and slowly uncrossed his legs, "I never knew you are this scheming" his low, cold voice rang in the room.Sasha gulped as she wait for him to continue but when he said nothing more, she got out of the bed with the blanket still covering her, she walked to her wardrobe and fetched out a robe which she quickly draped around her, she sighed and then faced the man whose eyes refused to leave her "I don't know why you are sounding like th"A slut? Michael...""Don't, say my name" he enunciated each word carefully "I don't want to see you. Get out.""Michael...""Get out!" He shouted.Sasha shuddered at his voice but she couldn't get herself to take a step, her mind was blurring and the image of how passionate and loving he was last night flashed in her mind, is this the same man? "I..."Michael suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her, he opened the door and dragged her out of the room, he climbed down the stairs while still dragging her behind him, two more stairs, he stopped and pushed her down. Sasha missed a foot and she fell at the foot of the stairs, she had waged her fall with her hand and now it hurts like crazy, more tears pour from her eyes but the pain she feels in her hand cannot amount to the one she feels in her chest."Stay away from me what ever your name is" he said to her and turned to walk up the stairs "Sasha" he heard and turned to face her again.With her head bowed an
Michael was brought back to present by a sharp pain in between his fingers, he snapped open his eyes and threw away the cigarette that has burned him. He lit another one and took a long drag before puffing it into the air, this memory will hunt him forever that, he already know because a part of him has already reacted with the thoughts alone. He sighed and buried himself in the smoke that soon enveloped his office.Coming home late in the night, Michael parked his car and got down, he walked into his house but only to see Sasha sleeping on the couch, remembering how she took advantage of him last night and how he had thought of nothing today but last night, he got angry. He knew it, she wanted to use her body to lure him to her, that's why she did that and now he just can't stop thinking about her body.Michael walked closer to the sleeping Sasha, he stared at her face and how beautiful and peaceful she looked while asleep, he was gripped with the sudden urge to kiss her and
The next day, after coming back from work, she waited for him, she had been making savings to pay him back his money for the clothes and heaven was on her side, at least now she can pay up, all thanks to the guy that kept sending contracts to her company, she is very glad at least she can clear her dept now and won't have to worry.Michael returned later and as usual, he walked past her and headed for the stairs, Sasha followed him immediately "can you give me your account details so that I can pay the rest of the money?"Michael stopped in his track, he opened his briefcase and tear out a piece of paper, he brought out a pen from his suit pocket and scribbled something on the paper, he let it fall on the stairs and he continued with his ascend. Sasha sighed and picked up the paper to discover that it was his account details that he wrote there, she fished out her phone and transferred the money to him.With each passing day, she kept feeling like she and Michael are drifti
Vanessa requested for a wine and it arrived soon after "you should know this don't you?" Vanessa asked while the waiter opened the wine and poured half a glass for them each."Know what?" Sasha asked timidly.Vanessa chuckled lightly "this wine."Sasha stared at the wine and shook her head "no I don't."A look of surprise flashed through Vanessa's eyes before she gently smiled "it's Robert Mondavi, Michael's favorite wine."Sasha was shocked but she soon concealed it, a soft sound of "oh" escaped through her lips, well, thanks to her mother in law, she now knows her husband's favorite wine, one down and more to go.Vanessa watched Sasha as she tried to conceal her shock, a tender look appeared in her eyes and she smiled to the younger one, she gently picked up her hand in hers and Sasha looked at her "you know you can't hide a thing from me."Sasha looked confused and Vanessa smiled gently "when I spoke with you this morning, I sensed your shock when I sai
The first reaction she got was too freeze, her brain stopped for a while before picking up, she tried so hard to understand what she just heard "hello, Sasha did you hear me?" She heard Vanessa asking on the other side of the call."A...a...accident?""Yes, I was shocked when I heard it too" Vanessa sniffed "just come to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, I'm here already" she hung up.Sasha stared at her phone, and just as if finally getting back to her senses, she sprang to her feet immediately, she picked up her car keys and purse before running out of her office. She passed Janet who was on her to her office in a flash and Janet had to turn with a "hey" but Sasha didn't even stop neither did she turn.She got to the parking lot and got into her car, she ignited the engine and pulled out of the parking lot all the while thinking on what she just heard, Michael had an accident? How in the world did Michael have an accident? What exactly happened? But no matter the kind
Sasha walked closer to the man lying on the bed, her eyes welled up too and she slowly caressed his cheek. His forehead was bandaged, showing a little of his black hair that always looks neat and tidy but was ruff now. Her tears fell on his face as she tried her best to hold it, her eyes unconsciously strayed to his legs and her sob became a little louder, so Michael will not stand tall again? He will not stand in his dignified form anymore in the balcony? He might not know it but she always watch him whenever he stood there, admiring his back.When she moved out of their room, the guest room was adjacent to theirs, so from the balcony, she can still see him when he stood there smoking. Although she hates smokers, she can't help but admit, he use to look so stoic and handsome when he stands in the balcony, a hand his pyjamas pocket and the other holding a cigarette to his mouth. But now? Not anymore but thank heavens is temporal.Vanessa and Angelica noticed her battle and wal
Sasha stayed in the room for a long time beside Michael, doing nothing but just staring at him. Her tummy rumbled to remind her that she hadn't eaten since afternoon. She sighed and got up and walked out of the room to see Gary sitting on the chair, his head was resting on the wall and his eyes were closed. Sasha suddenly found it difficult to wake him up, she thought about going out to look for what to eat herself, she looked at phone time and it was already 10:30, it's been five hours now since Michael came out of the emergency room.Three more hours and he would wake up just like the doctor said, she found herself praying silently that it will work like that, that he will wake up. She walked back into the room and got some money from her bag before walking out again, she debated about waking Gary up to tell him she was heading out but decided against it, it's still the same thing, waking him from sleep.She walked down the hall in low spirit and walked out through the hospi
Sasha let out a deep breath again and stretched out her hand to caress Michael's cheek when a pair of crystal blue eyes was staring at her suddenly. Sasha froze and her hand hovered in mid air, she gulped as she stared at those deep blue eyes, why did he wake up suddenly? Didn't the doctor said he will wake up in the next hour?"What are you trying to do?" Michael asked, his voice was low and almost a whisper but it still sounded cold to those who hear it and she involuntarily shuddered."I...um...I..." Sasha stuttered.The man that was staring at her furrowed his brows at her lost for words "whatever it was that you were trying to do, don't ever think about it again" he warned.Sasha let out a deep sigh and withdrew her hand, she placed it on her lap and her action some how got Michael's attention, his eyes followed her hand and he his frowned deepened."Why are you sitting on my bed? Get lost!"Sasha stood up immediately, she dragged the chair in the room a littl
