"I need something to make a man stay. Something that will make him forget that other girls exist. I need that something whatever it is!" I shouted at my friend, Laurie.
She just laughed incredulously, amused about my idea.
"Well, I think what you are looking for is a love potion, Jill. I didn't know you believe in stuff like that! That's outrageous but of course, I'm not judging you. I can't judge because I know that woman in love will do anything to get her man."
I stopped from my relentless pacing on the carpeted floor of my room and then crossed my arms and shot her a beaming look.
"Wait, why didn't I think about that? Right! I need a witch to make me a love potion so that Scott will fall in love with me. My god Laurie! You're a genius!" I snatched my phone from her hand and dialed a number.
"And my god Jill! You are actually believing me? I'm just bluffing you! What a gullible human being you are! Stop it!" Taking long strides across the room to reach me, she grabbed my phone and throw it on the bed.
"Get a hold of yourself, will you? Gosh! You really love him that much!"
"Yes, I love him as hell." I sat down on the floor and pulled my hair in frustration.
"What am I going to do now, Laurie? What am I supposed to do to make him mine?"
She kneeled infront of me and cupped my face. "Hey, look Jill. Why can't you just let him go away? You see, you can't make a man stay if he doesn't want to especially Scott. He loves someone else so drop it off already, okay? There are tons of men out there whol will go down on their knees just to have you," she tried to convince me.
"But I only want Scott, Laurie. I only want him. I cannot care for other men because all I want to have is Scott. I've never wanted anyone in the world like how I crave for him. Please help me, Laurie. Just this once, please? Help me find a way to make him fall for me, please?" I pleaded.
Laurie looked at me hopelessly.
"But what if it doesn't work out?""How can we say it won't work out when we haven't even try it, hmm?" I smiled persuasively.
"Okay, you got me there," she said in resignation. "You win again. You're really good at convincing people, huh."
She reached for her phone inside her Prada bag and typed something. I watched in anticipation as she constantly throw me glances.
"Is it done already?" I asked after Laurie turned off her phone.
"Yup." She gave me a smug smile.
I excitedly went to her. "When will I have it? Later? Tomorrow? When? I need it as soon as possible!"
She held in her arms. "Relax okay? It will come. Just be patient, okay? You heard me?"
I nodded my head. "Yeah, I know I know. I just got too excited by the idea of finally having him. I can't wait Laurie."
She just smiled at me.
The next day, she handed me a weird looking vial with a queer looking green substance inside it. I shake the small bottle and opened it to smell the liquid. I scrunched my nose at the smell of a spoiled rotten meat.
"Eew! What is this Laurie? Smells like a hundred year old saliva." I put the lid back on the vial and reached for my alcohol. I'm giving my friend a look while pouring all the contents of the bottle to my hand.
Laurie rolled her eyes at me. "Come on, Jill! It's a potion for a reason. That friend of mine told me that the more stringent it smells, the more effective it will be. Isn't that what we all wanted? For it to be too effective so that Trevor will be yours forever and ever, right?"
I nodded at her words. " You're right, Laurie. You're right." I said it like I am more convincing myself more than her.
"Good. Now all you have to do is put a little bit of it on any of Trevor's food. Make sure that he'll eat it and then wait for about a week and he'll come running on to you on his knees begging for you to love him."
I felt elated at the possibility of Trevor finally falling in love with me. "Yes, Laurie. I'll do that."
She picked up her bag on my desk and headed for the door. "Good luck, Jill. Break a leg." She winked at me.
I was left on my seat wide-eyed at the love weapon in my hand. After a minute of staring at it, I rose in my feet to make my dream a reality. I went to the powder room to make sure I look great and then went out of the office. So much for pretending I kind be an effective office girl for a day. I'll just tell mom to transfer me to another branch of our company preferably that of nearer to Trevor's building.
I rode the elevator down and went straight to my BMW. I put my sunglasses while humming to my favorite song and then speeding away. I stopped to a nearby famous bakeshop and bought a chocolate cake, his favorite cake. When inside the car, I put a dab of concoction on the cake making sure that all parts have been equally given a portion of my potion.
"This will do. Trevor Scott, you'll be mine finally. I can't wait, my love. I can't wait."
With my car stereo blasting on and my car speed on its top, I sang my happy mood and ignored my ringing phone. For sure, it's just mom again trying to 'straighten' me out or lecture me about the importance of studying our business so that when I'll be able enough to handle it, she can finally retire.
"But mom, I can never handle it the way you wanted it. That's why I'm trying to do everything to get my man. That man will be able to handle our empire. Just so you wait, mom."
I chuckled at the idea.
I made my way to Trevor's office like a runway model. On my hand is the cake while on the other is my dainty clutch. I didn't pause to stop by at his secretary's table and thank goodness she didn't stop me like last time because I can't promise to be nice even if I'm walking on cloud nine now. I'm not nice and never will I. Maybe I'll become nice when I can have Trevor Scott all for myself.I opened the door and saw him on his swivel chair again typing on his laptop. He stopped what he's doing and faced me. A knot formed on his forehead."What are you doing here again? I told you I'm busy this week so I can't go to see you. Let's just reschedule next week, Jill. Please." He put his attention back on his computer."It's okay. I just came by to say sorry for what happened the last time I'm here. That was really mean and it was inappropriate for me to act that way. I'm sorry." I sat on the chair in front of his desk and placed the cake on my lap. Von looked up to me.
"What do you do now?"I heaved out a sigh and looked back at the window car. The lanes are bustling with all sorts of cars. The day's too busy for my own liking."Go to him this instant. I have to know his condition. I can't sleep tonight knowing that I caused him harm."Laurie stomped on the accelerator. "Just don't appear to be wary enough to make him suspect you. Chill out. You can do this."We didn't waste our time and went to Von's residence immediately. We were stopped by the guard in the entrance of the exclusive subdivision but when I showed him my ID and business card, he apologized and let us in.We pulled off in front of a big Mediterranean-inspired mansion in the outermost part of the area. With my heart on my sleeves, I pushed the bell button."Jill, do you think it's the best time to visit Trevor? He's for sure trying to get some rest. Maybe we should just come back tomorrow. It's getting pretty late and I still hav
“You shouldn’t have come here.”I shrugged off the pain I felt when he said that and concentrated on peeling the orange fruit. It’s a good thing that I was standing on my back so it is easier to hide the pain from which I should be bulletproof from given how countless of times he has made me feel that excruciating emotion from the day we had agreed to enter this kind of relationship.“I was dead worried of you. I can’t sleep at night thinking how you must be suffering.” I faced him while wearing that familiar smile on my face and handed him the platter full of assorted fruits. “Here. Have some.”“Thank you,” he said but did not even take a single glance on the fruits I laid down on his desk.“Why are you already working? You should take a rest, Von. You just got out from the hospital.” I walked behind him and started massaging his shoulders.“Don’t be a nagger. It’s just a stomach upset. I’ve had more worst cases in the past.”
I felt his strong muscular arms encircled my shoulder and gripped it tighter. I gasped and my breathing became labored.I tried to stand and walk away but he grabbed my head instead and kiss me senselessly.The kiss immediately became hotter, wilder and wetter. Tongue to tongue. His lips on mine devouring them as if it's a delectable dish he can't get enough of. His kisses are rough and it turned me on. I responded by lashing my tongue and lips with his while my hands made their way to his neck caressing, touching it. I further opened my mouth to accommodate him. He immediately took it as an invitation to assault the inner recesses of my sensitive skin there. He tasted me. I felt heat surge right through my core. Need consumed me.He left my lips and trailed kisses to my ears down to the sweet spot in my neck. I shut down my eyes as the sensation felt overwhelming. A moan escaped my mouth.My hands s
This is the part of my bargain and I wish to uphold my end until he realizes I'm the one he loves.Trevor rolled over me with a heavy breathing."That was great. Sex with you has always been great," he patted my thigh and stood up still naked."Is that a compliment?" I asked trying to calm my senses. I fished for some tissue and wiped our combined essence in myself.He just shrugged his shoulders as if saying he doesn't care and looked around looking for something. "Fishing for compliments?"I laughed in a calculated manner. "Oh please. We both know I'm always flooded with compliments every single day. Besides, I haven't had any other guy in bed aside from you so that explains my curiosity. How can I just accept you saying it's great having sex with me when I have no point of comparison? You've got an advantage over me. Youre an expert in this field." I sat on the bed not min
“What did you did this time, Jill?” My mother removed her eyes on her monitor screen and eyed me intently.I raised my hands in annoyance and sat down on the couch inside her luxurious office. My mother like Von never failed me to feel extra worthless. Crossing my arms and legs simultaneously, I studied the interior of her office. From the vantage of a self-proclaimed fashion enthusiast and a professional model, this place looks entirely black and white except for a few colorful art pieces and sculptures situated in every conspicuous parts of the extremely large space.Never bad, I thought as I picture myself inside this similar vibe of office days from now.“Mom, I don’t like your office. It’s boring, colorless, and the vibe here is eerie. You will not stop me from getting myself a fabulous interior designer who will make every corner of my future office as flashy and as divine as me. Also, I need my own secretary and I want you to personally train me. I can’t rel
I should not have accepted my mom’s test. I should have not gone to her to discuss about my willingness to be her employee just to help Von on his new project. If I had not done such a drastic move, then I should have been in the safety of my fluffy covers in my bed snoring and enjoying my beauty sleep.By this time, I should have been in the comfort of the dreamland where I am happily living my life with Von.That’s what’s running in my head as I climb my way up to the 30th floor. The elevator stopped at 20th so I had to manually run through the arduous steps to get to mom’s office. My cute pink long-sleeve is already soaked with my sweat and I don’t have to look at my face to know that my make-up is all over my face. I blamed myself for not opting to use the water-proof make-up. I stink which has never happened to me for the last few months and I hated every second of it. I wanted to turn my back, rush back inside the car but my go
“What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked while fuming in anger.I hurriedly stood up not minding if my hair is all over my face, just to face the devil incarnate who gave me a mocking smile.“What a pleasant words coming from you, Jill. Didn’t you miss me? Well, I miss you so much, babe.” He stressed the last word as if to emphasize something.My face grimaced in disgust at the sight of the man who I have considered to be my first love. Only when I met Von did I realize that what I felt for this cheating piece of scumbag is very shallow.“Who gave you an idea that I like to see you again? After what you have done to me? After you slept with my assistant and made a fool out of me, you still have the gall to let me see your face again? How could you still keep a straight face after what you have done, you chauvinistic jerk!”My nostrils flared and I can feel my head growing big. Pure bloodshot anger
