Meeting You I Wanted Her to stay away
Rowan"I'm thirsty. I'm going to go get a drink in your suite." Ralph said, breaking the handshake as he walked away in the direction of my luxury suite."So, she's a bet." I heard Raven say. I had no idea she was standing behind me. "How long have you been there?""Long enough to hear that blondie is your new conquest." She said, crossing her arms. "Does Ralph ever quit?""This is probably the last one."She chuckled softly."You said that last time and the time before that. You guys never quit.""You know that's how we do. I'm only humouring him.""What happened to saying no?""It's a stupid bet, why do I have to make it a big deal?"She shrugged. "I don't actually care about blondie, but I just think it's beneath you wasting a second on girls like her, and she's not even the brightest.""She's not exactly stupid, she's just accident-prone and kind of clumsy."She arched a brow at me."Why are you defending her?'Yeah, why was I defending her?"I'm not. But anyway, you know you can
Meeting You My heart sank
RowanYeah, my plan was to make Amelia hate me first and then make her fall for me, but just saying a few hurtful words sometimes wasn't enough. I'm no bully, but bullying might be the right way to get the reaction I wanted. The problem was, where would I draw the line? What was too much and what was too little? I didn't want to go overboard and do the unforgivable, but I also wanted to get results faster so I'd have an upperhand and win the bet before Ralph could get even closer to her. Before that, I had to keep them away from each other for as long as I could, while I thought of the next move to make. I might need advice from someone neutral who had a way with women who were hard to please. There was no one like that... Hillary! He wasn't a pro at stuff like that, but at least he knew more than I did. Plus, he did say he was making progress with the barista girl, so he was my only option. Involving anyone else might just complicate the situation.I didn't like that Raven knew abou
Meeting You He's not that bad
AmeliaI stirred on my bed, feeling well rested, but at the same time, I wanted to snuggle under the covers and go back to sleep. It felt like it's been ages since I last had a good night's sleep and I wanted more.But I sat up on my bed.Thanks to Rowan being a childish tyrant, I had an off day to relax and do whatever I wanted without having to see his annoying face.After his girlfriend left with Crystella and I saw Rowan at the door, I knew from his expression that he was going to say something that would annoy me, but I didn't expect his words to really anger me. I mean, he was making me out to be the villain and he sounded like I intentionally wanted Emma to get fired.Why would I want that? I had just met her and I already liked her. Even if I didn't, that was something I could never do. I didn't mean to push Crystella that hard, in fact, I don't think I pushed her that hard. She was probably made of jelly if she could fall after such a light push.I felt bad that she fell, it
Meeting You Acting Cocky
AmeliaAnother day off as I was yet to receive a call from Rowan.I wasn't complaining though, as long as I still had my job, that meant I would still get paid... It was a win-win.And I was enjoying my 'break' from him. I mean, I got to kickback and relax with Sonia and Nia. We talked — mostly gossip — drank hot chocolate, and when Nia had to get back to work, Sonia and I explored town, visiting the arcade and having fun like teenagers.By the time I got back, Mom had already closed the diner and we ate chicken mole in the living room while watching a show.When I woke up, I kind of expected to see a text or a missed call from Rowan, but I got nothing. I would have called him instead, but he was the one that told me to take a break, so I figured he'd call when he needed me.I went to work at the diner.It was a slow day. I spent more time sitting down than I spent standing. And what did I expect on such days? Nessa, talking my ear off.It was late in the afternoon and there was only
Meeting You I didn't ruin her life
RowanPetra Eastman... the first and the only woman I've ever been in love with.We met at a dance studio. I was supposed to learn some dance moves for a movie and my manager took me to Tim, Petra's cousin. When I saw her, it was love at first sight. She had this long jet black hair, long eyelashes, turquoise blue eyes and her cheeks had this permanent shade of pink that made her look flushed all the time. Her smile was everything and nineteen-year-old me fell fast and hard.She was also a dancer and helped Tim teach the little students, so that meant I got to see her whenever I was there.Petra was... different. Having been in the industry since I was a kid, it was hard to come by people who treated me like every other person. Petra didn't see my fame, all she saw was a sloppy dancer and it was really easy to talk to her.She was fun, she was spontaneous, she was graceful. When we got talking, I fell deeper and deeper that all I could think about was Petra.I was lucky though. When I
Meeting You Jealous
RowanI was held prisoner in Petra's house. She and Brett didn't let me leave until two hours after. I was forced to stay with them while we talked. It was a welcome company, though it was bittersweet. I probably would have been Petra's husband if I wasn't so stubborn and refused to see her all those years, but at the same time, I was happy she found someone else who completely adored her.Just like my first impression of him, I perceived Brett as nice and he was really my fan. He recited most of my lines to me and Petra said something about him getting all his romantic ideas from my romance movies. It was fun.I got to hold Rowena too. She was the tiniest, cutest, little thing and she was so fragile in my hands. She smelled amazing too. That was the first time I was holding a baby and I actually loved the experience. Though, I panicked and gave her back to Brett when she moved. I was too scared to break her.Like I said, it was bittersweet. Holding Rowena reminded me of what I lost,
Meeting You I took his hand
AmeliaI was busy working in mom's diner, trying to clean up a toddler who just flipped a whole bowl of soup on his head, when my phone pinged, indicating that I just got a text. I didn't reach for my phone until I had the child cleaned and with a new bowl of chicken soup.I reached into my apron's pouch and took out my phone. It was an unknown number. It could be Rowan since the person was asking where I was."Working in my mom's diner. Is this Rowan?"I had to ask."Nope, Ralph. Send me the address." His reply came in.Ralphael. That's right, I gave him my number. I totally forgot about that.I wanted to reply and give him the address, but then I remembered that he's good looking and Nessa won't let me hear the end of it if another good looking man came looking for me."Or, I could come to you. Tell me where you are." I texted back. I knew mom wouldn't mind if I wanted to leave, so it was easier to just go meet him wherever he was."I can't ask you to do that. I have to be the one t
Meeting You She's trying to hook up with him
AmeliaI took Ralphael to the nearby park. Since it was already evening, there were kids playing and a few other people about. It wasn't that crowded or noisy, just the perfect amount of human sounds.And Ralphael's disguise was working because no one seemed to recognise him. In fact, no one even looked in our direction."What's happening here?" He asked me as I led him to an empty bench."What do you mean? Everyone is doing their own thing."I couldn't tell his expression behind the sunglasses, but with how he silently looked around, I felt he must be a little confused. But why?"Okay... So, what are we doing here?"Was it his first time in a park?"We're doing our own thing. Here, sit." I instructed, pointing at the empty bench. I mentally kicked myself because I sounded a lot like William.He sat down though."Wait here, I'll be right back. And don't take off your disguise."He smiled. "Yes, ma'am."I left him there and went over to the nearby ice-cream stand. I didn't know what fl

Meeting You Welcome to the Ace Corp
RowanDad's text was kind of cryptic since he didn't mention why he needed me to come home, if we were going somewhere or if it was just for dinner.But I still took the liberty of dressing sharp, opting for a more laid-back formal look. I wore a well-fitted dark blazer that screams sophistication, but not too stiff, you know? Underneath, I kept it simple with a crisp white shirt, untucked for that effortlessly cool vibe. Then, instead of dress pants, I went for these tailored chinos, still classy but not overdone. And on my feet, some sleek leather boots that add a touch of ruggedness to the ensemble. With that, I was ready to head home.It was weird. When I got there, I immediately noticed that a party was underway. Why didn't he mention the party in his text? It's not like I wasn't confident in what I was wearing, but it just seemed odd he would invite me for a party, usually that was mom's job. And if he didn't invite me to the party, how did he expect us to talk with so many peo
Meeting You worried about her?
RowanAfter Ralph stormed off and I had my little talk with Hillary, I had to go after Ralph and finally have my talk with him. I also didn't want to get into a fight with Ralph over Amelia, I couldn't even understand why it was becoming a thing.He was never like that during our other bets, or was it because he was getting involved in this one? Still, it felt as if he cared about her and not just because she was his ticket to getting my jet.It didn't help to keep thinking about it, I had to ask him and we needed to come to an agreement, that this bet would be our last and there would be no hard feelings after, things between us would remain the same.Fuck! It was making me sound like some lame highschooler who was too afraid to lose his friend.Though, honestly, Ralph was important to me, and getting into a fight over a stupid bet would really suck. I had to avoid it anyhow I could.I found him in his bedroom, headphones on as he laid on his bed, eyes closed. He couldn't be sleeping
Meeting You That was it?
AmeliaI was feeling way better by the time I woke up; the cold was gone and only tiny beads of sweat remained... plus I wasn't aching anymore. Well, except for the spot on my arm where the wound was.I sat up on the bed, a little surprised to see William sitting on an armchair close to the door, scrolling through his phone. He noticed me when I sat up, looking away from his phone."You're awake." He said, getting off the armchair and coming over to meet me on the bed.Hold up! Did he sit there the entire time I slept? To watch me and make sure I didn't fall on another dangerous thing?The back of his palm felt my forehead."You're no longer burning up." He announced. "Are you in pain? Are you cold?"I shook my head."No. I think the fever is gone.""Hm, I think so too. But you might still have to be careful so it doesn't return.""I know. It's my fault though, after that bully pushed me into the pool, I should have changed out of my wet clothes as soon as I got home, but I foolishly
Meeting You I wanted to run away from everyone
AmeliaI felt like I was floating... like I wasn't in my body. Was I dead? What happened? Last thing I could remember was William leading me away to the parking lot. What exactly happened after that?I pulled the blanket over my head.Huh?What blanket?Was I home?How did I get home?I pulled the blanket down and opened my eyes. It hurt to open them, but I needed to understand where I was at least.I was in a familiar room... not my room though and for the life of me, I couldn't remember whose room it was, just that I'd been there before.There were drugs on the bedside table with a half empty glass of water. There was also a thermometer. I wanted to sit up and look around the room more, hoping everything would come back to me and I'd know where exactly I was, but I had no strength left in my body. I felt weak and wobbly, like jelly. I felt cold on the inside, but I was sweating slightly.I eyed the glass of water. I wanted to drink it. Maybe it would help.My hand could move at leas
Meeting You Don't put her in danger
RowanI didn't sleep in my bed that night. After I called Amelia and told her to come in by morning, I went downstairs to my study. I sat in my chair and read through my script for a bit. When I felt sleepy, I returned to my room, but seeing Raven there still made my bed less appealing.I left for a guest room and spent the night there, glad that I got quality beds for all the rooms in my house, else I would have woken up in pains that morning.By morning, when I got down to the kitchen, Raven was already there, having breakfast."There you are." She said once she saw me. "I asked your maids if you went out already and none of them had an idea. Did you stay up reading your script again?"That was the perfect excuse."Yeah, I didn't really feel like sleeping."I sat on the stool facing her and the cook served me my breakfast."Does Blondie work on weekends?" She asked."Not really. But I already called her to come here this morning.""Perfect. I'm going to pick on her again, I'll take
Meeting You Blacking out
AmeliaI didn't protest, I didn't want to. Honestly, I didn't have the strength to fight with anyone. If he wanted me to become his girlfriend's assistant for the day, that was fine by me. I couldn't afford to protest, not when my job depended on it.I needed to work for Rowan Ace, his bitch of a girlfriend was just part of the package. The earlier I understood that, the earlier I got over it."I'll go get dressed." Raven said, got off the stool she sat on, went over to where Rowan sat and kissed him deeply... all the while making eye contact with me.Why did she bother? She really thought I cared about her relationship with Rowan? I rolled my eyes.He was not my type, period."I'll be right back." She said as she broke the kiss, then walked past me out of the kitchen.Rowan's eyes were on me.What did he want? To tell me to make sure his beloved girlfriend didn't have any reason to complain? Remind me to keep my clumsiness in check and not ruin her day? Oh wait! That just gave me an
Meeting You Rowan ace was one of the people I hated
AmeliaRaven was the absolute worst! I've never really hated anyone in my life, but I could say for sure that I hated her at that moment. Did she think it was a joke pushing me into the pool? I was scared of swimming. I couldn't swim and I actually thought I would die in that pool. My life literally flashed before my eyes!I was so grateful for Ralphael. I was struggling to pull myself up for air — and failing woefully — when I felt a pair of strong arms grab me and pull me up."Relax, you're safe." Hearing his voice, I was so relieved. As he carried me bridal style while still in the water, I circled my arms around his neck, holding him tight.I only let go once we were out of the pool and he wrapped a towel around me. That was when I saw Raven's victorious smirk. God! I wanted to slap her so hard, she'd get a headache for weeks!But instead, I did what any responsible adult would do. I chose to walk away. Ralphael asked me if I wanted to go into his friend's house and change out of
Meeting You why was I worried about her?
RowanI turned to Hillary."Did Ralph seem different to you just now?" I asked."Different how? He just seemed really pissed. Maybe he's friends with Amelia already or something." He paused, frowning. "You know, I don't really care how many bets you guys have, but it'll really suck if you have a fight over one, or even over a woman." He scoffed. "I don't know why you're fucking around with Raven, and I'm not going to question it, but just take Ralph's advice and keep her in check. If you guys aren't dating, then she can't be jealous of someone else."That was not what I wanted to hear.I looked away from him."She knows, but I can't stop her from feeling however she feels.""I think it's your fault.""What? How?""You were the one throwing a tantrum when she wanted to fuck someone else. Maybe that gave her the impression that you want to be more than fuck buddies. I mean, I was thinking it.""Nah! I reacted that way because I care about my body..."He suddenly burst out laughing."Ser
Meeting You Could it be?
RowanAmelia was exhausting! After Hillary told me about the pool party, I tried calling her number several times but she wasn't taking my calls! What the fuck would she be doing that wouldn't let her take calls? Did she lose her phone? Did she get a job somewhere else without telling me? What exactly was her reason for ignoring my calls? I expected her to call back, but even until I got to Hillary's house for the party, there was still no call from her.I was beyond annoyed.I was half-expecting to see Raven there, so I wasn't really surprised when I saw her with Crystella. Ever since Raven and I got together, she and Hillary kind of hit it off and they'd been collaborating in a few modelling gigs. Of course, Hillary was only modelling for fun. Just like me, he was born to wealthy parents and his dad wanted him to take over the company. He was also an only child, so he and I had a lot in common. Since he was kind of friends with Raven, it was natural that he would invite her to his
