Meeting You clumsy
AmeliaThe loud crash sound echoed in my room.“Amy? Are you okay? What was that?” Mom’s worried voice yelled from downstairs.“Nothing, Mom. I’m okay!” I yelled back. That was obviously a lie.I was frozen with my right knee close to my breast, my fingers around my shoe, with my right foot halfway in it. I had been struggling to put on my shoes as I was so impatient to sit and calmly put them on. Rather, I was hopping around my room on my left foot, while trying to put my right leg into the shoe.That was when I kicked my reading table, sending the innocent ceramic vase mom got me two Christmases ago, that sat on the edge of the table, sending it to the floor as it shattered on my red rug, adding to my disoriented room. My clothes, books, bags, and shoes were scattered everywhere in the most inappropriate place just because I was in too much of a hurry while searching for the right outfit combination.That wasn’t my problem at the moment, not even the broken vase… at least, not yet.I
Meeting You Underdressed
Amelia“Damn it.” I muttered under my breath, rubbing the back of my palm that had collided with the iron bars. That was exactly what I was talking about. It was as if I had a curse, a curse of clumsiness that always landed me in trouble.“Dear God help me.” I muttered under my breath again. The last thing I wanted was for another interview to go horribly wrong because I couldn’t get my act together. I’d been leeching off mom for far too long already; it was time I helped her out.I soon got down from that bus and got on the second one. To get to Vee theatre — the place the interview was being held — I had to take three buses all the way from home.I just had to pray I got the job, then I’d dedicate my first paycheck to getting a car… a car and contact lenses.After about an hour later, I stepped down from the third bus, staring at the tall building in front of me. It was bigger that it looked in the pictures. Bigger and more majestic.Oops! Did I forget to mention that I wasn’t there
Meeting You No experience
"You've got this, Amy." I whispered to myself and took a deep breath before pushing open the door, coming face to face with the interviewers. There were three of them, two men — one of which was the good-looking man that met me at the lobby — and a lady. They sat in chairs behind a long table that resembled one suitable for a conference meeting; lady sat in-between them. There was another single chair on the other side of the table, facing them.I was assuming that was the one meant for me.I tried for a smile as I went closer to the single chair, not touching it. Not one of them returned my smile, their expressions were blank and professional."Amelia Rave?" The lady asked in a deep British accent. I nodded, still not letting go of my smile.The lady gestured for me to sit on the chair and I did."Can I see you CV?" She asked, opening her hand to me.I quickly dived into my tote bag for the big brown envelope that held all my important documents. I took out my CV and gave it to the la
Meeting You Horrible Person
AmeliaI was still preoccupied, massaging my butt which I had landed on, while trying to endure the pain I felt, when someone yelled at me."What the fuck is wrong with you?!" The male voice asked, irritation in his tone.I raised my head slowly to look at him, expecting to see one of the interviewers, but he was someone different. He had that athletic build, you know, the kind that makes you take a second glance. His jaw was set, and those deep green eyes, glared at me with frustration. The suit he wore clung to him, outlining his toned body. His slick black hair, was perfectly styled, but a little tousled around his forehead as he was sweaty. Too sweaty, the sweat literally dripped down from his face to his clothes. It felt like witnessing a handsome storm, both captivating and unsettling.He was very sexy."Stop staring at me like that." He yelled again. Okay, he might be a nutjob, 'cause I didn't understand why he would be screaming at me instead of helping me off the floor."Tch
Meeting You In her dreams
RowanI was bored and wanted to be anywhere but the theatre, interviewing a bunch of crazy fan girls.Yeah, William said he wouldn't reveal who the employer was until I was ready to pick someone, but yet, it was Vee Theatre, they knew it was only the best of the best movie stars that would be holding interviews.I would have easily had William handle the interview himself and pick the most qualified person, but he reminded me that I also selected my employees based on looks. Which was absolutely correct. I was stunning, I wanted only beautiful people around me. So, I had to select someone myself.Ralph was waiting for me at the theatre, so even though I didn't have to be there until William texted me that it was time to make a choice, I had to be at the theatre early.I got to the theatre and was making my way to my luxury suite where Ralph was waiting, while I was on my phone texting my girlfriend, Raven.I was just passing the main stage, pretty sure my path was clear when all of a s
Meeting You Different but beautiful
Amelia"Yes, you."My heart did a somersault in my chest.Was he really talking to me? His eyes were focused on me and he had on a sly smile. No, it had to be someone else.I turned to look behind me, everyone's eyes were focused on me."Hey, blondie." He called and I froze. "You in the shirt." Now I was sure he was talking to me.I slowly looked back at him.What did he want? To make fun of me for pouring water on a celebrity? To make fun of my clothes? What?!"Come here." He ordered.I frowned. I was not his slave, he had no right commanding me like one.I didn't move.Someone pushed me from behind and I went stumbling to his feet and would have fallen flat on my face, but someone caught me, breaking my fall.I looked up, expecting to see Rowan, but it was the good looking interviewer. He was frowning slightly. I wondered if he ever smiled."You can stand on your own, can't you?" He asked with that look of disgust again.Why? Because he was touching me? Was I covered in filth or som
Meeting You Order
RowanI wasn't wrong about the dumb part. She knew I was talking to her. I mean, I was looking directly at her, but she chose to search behind her instead.And then she just tripped over her own foot and nearly fell on her face. She wasn't just dumb, she was a weirdo.I was rethinking agreeing to fuck her, she was not so appealing anymore. It would have been okay if she was just a poor girl with good looks. But if the lights were off upstairs, it'd just be so wrong to touch her.But, I wasn't about to lose that bet. It was just a one time thing, anyway.When I asked for her name, she replied with such a cold glare. I was intimidated for a second. Damn! She had a killer glare. It was almost like her hazel eyes lit up dangerously when narrowed.I hid it well though, and told William to get her ready before walking away. It was only when I was back in the luxury suite that I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding."What's up? Are we good to go?" I looked at Ralph at his positio
Meeting You incompetent Fool
AmeliaI thought I was done for. I thought Rowan would scream my head off, and fire me on the spot. But he just left me there with the elderly fashionable woman and William.The woman made me sit in front of the dressing table while she picked up different makeup kits and set them on the table in front of me."I haven't seen a blonde with such pretty hazel eyes before. They are usually blue or grey or green." She said as she cleaned my face with wipes. "Who do you look like?""You mean between my parents?" I asked. It was a little hard to follow what she said because of her accent."Yeah.""My mom. She has blue eyes though." "Ah, then you got your eyes from you dad? He must be very handsome."I smiled awkwardly, not sure what to say to that."Keep a straight face, you'll ruin my work if you move too much." She said and I swallowed.I wasn't really a fan of makeup. The two other times I had worn makeup was at prom and at college graduation. Mom practically forced me to sit through the

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
