Mister Insistent Chapter 37: The Dream
...I was sprawled on the couch, looking at the time as it was racing and the day had come to an end & he hadn’t arrived yet. Maybe I’m not as important to him as he is, to me and this thought was killing me, twisting a knife in my chest.Suddenly, I heard a loud knock on the door and I jumped out, I abruptly ran towards the door and opened it just to witness a strange man in a Pizza Hut employee uniform.“What?” I asked him irritably.“Ma’am, is this Condo 601?” He asked in a professional tone and I nodded.“Sorry for being late, Ma’am. It was hard for me to estimate the exact location.” He apologized and then handed me a box of pizza.“But I didn’t order it,” I told him and this time he looked confusingly at me.“Then maybe your boyfriend did because a man called and placed the order.” He explained and my blood boiled at the mention of ‘my boyfriend’.“I can’t take it because I’m sure that it’s a misunderstanding as I don’t have a boyfriend and I live here, alone.” I handed back the
Mister Insistent Chapter 38: Monotonousness
I was drawing rough sketches on the paper for ideas when Saira entered the office but stopped when she saw the floor which was almost covered with balls of discarded papers and I was getting frustrated with the time. “Isabella baby, don’t do this to yourself, please. Eat something, you need to take a proper rest as your body still hasn’t recovered from the shock.” She exclaimed with concern and I huffed in annoyance. “I’m fine, Saira. I just want to…. I don’t need rest, I need new ideas to draw but it’s…..” “Hey, I know you’re pretending to be okay but you’re not and that’s normal because what you have been going through emotionally is far from ‘okay’ but I assure you that everything will be alright soon. Just have some faith!” She came closer to me and rubbed my back to comfort me but it never works nowadays. I got the memory of that last moment back after 5 days of returning from the hospital and it broke me down again, utterly. John and Saira were there to keep me on my feet but
Mister Insistent Chapter 39: The Return
A knock on the door alerted me about a visitor and I walked to the door and opened it just to find John standing there, with a friendly smile on his charming face.“Hello, good evening. How are you doing today without any office work?” I stepped back so that he could enter.“I was going through my emails before you knocked on the door,” I replied and then gestured to him to sit down on the sofa while I settled back on the couch with my laptop in my lap.“Oh….how can you work that much, without any rest?!” He asked curiously and I shut down the lid of the laptop, stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen.“Here. I hope you like it!” I gave him the platter of my baked cupcakes and he moaned after taking a bite.“Isabella dear, you’re a superwoman I must say. Amazing!!” And my lips automatically curved up a little.“Ohhhh you’re SMILING…” He shouted out with joy and I stared at him funnily.“To answer your question; I can do that much work because I have nothing to do except have d
Mister Insistent Chapter 40: The Dilemma
Alexander:“She practically kicked me out of her place instead of kissing the hell out of me.” I expressed my disappointment and John chuckled while shaking his head.“I told you not to go there, not to throw this bomb on her but you didn’t listen to me,” John said after a while and I sighed.“I... she’s so confusing. Sometimes I thought that she loved me & then other times it was like she hated me the most in this world. I swear I’ll go crazy from this dilemma of hers.” I was exasperated.Me & John were sitting in the living room of John’s penthouse, while Saira was in the kitchen preparing pancakes for us. As Isabella saw me she confirmed that I wasn’t an illusion, the next minute she threw me out of her place demanding the spare key of her place but when I refused to oblige she yelled at me and then slammed the door on my face.I was not in the plane when it crashed as the staff made me jump out from the jet into the ocean below. There was only one parachute in the plane at that ti
Mister Insistent Chapter 41: Trust Issues
It’s been more than two weeks since he last showed up at my place and I have been working from home since then. Today I decided to visit Dr.Cara and when I entered her room, she gave me her breathtaking smile.“Welcome, Isabella. How are you doing?” She greeted me.“I’m….I don’t know how I am….” I blurted out and her eyebrows knitted together in confusion.“Tell me what happened?”“He... he’s back….. I... don’t know what to do! He’s making me angry, he’s trying to break my guard down…. I can’t let him hurt me again.” Surprisingly, I started crying after blurting out all this and she let me cry for some time before handing me a napkin.“Are you not happy about him being alive?” She asked calmly and I sniffled.“I... don’t know. I have loved him and kept trusting him and forgiving
Mister Insistent Chapter 42: Mr. Persistent
“You want me to go?” He asked me.“Yes, far far away from me.” I saw a flash of pain in Alexander’s eyes but in my complete rage of anger, I ignored it completely. I only focused on evening out my breathing.Alexander only stood in front of me for long moments, staring into my eyes. It hurt me to look at him, but I didn’t give in. “Come out for dinner with me tonight.” He said, completely surprising me.I looked at him as if he completely lost it. “Are you for real right now?” I asked him, not hiding my growing anger. I leveled him with my gaze but he didn’t back down. He even lifted his head higher. I smiled a fake, huge smile, filled with sarcasm. “What game are you playing now, Alex?” I asked him tiredly.He stepped closer to me and lifted his hand, nearing it to my cheek but I backed away from him again. He didn’t have the right to touch me again &
Mister Insistent Chapter 43: The Dinner (I)
After twenty minutes, there’s a knock on my door. I double-checked the clock to be sure I still had time because Alexander said an hour and a half, but I still feared that he might change his mind and be here again…. I went and opened the door holding my breath but it wasn’t Alex.“Ms.Isabella McQueen?” A sophisticated young woman is standing there, with a big box in her hands.I furrowed my eyebrows. “Yes... that’s me!” I said slowly.“I have a package for you. Sign here.” She said with a bored voice that shows this is her job and it’s her mantra.I signed my name on the paper and she handed me the big box and then left straight away.I sighed, closed the door and then took the box inside. There’s a bow on it and a small piece of paper with my name on it. I was confused about it because I hadn’t ordered anything nor did I know anyone in this city who co
Mister Insistent Chapter 44: The Dinner (II)
“Nothing..big. I’m just making spaghetti with sauce. With the Italian recipe, my mother used to make it.” He added after a moment, answering my question. My mouth watered and my stomach growled. He narrowed his eyes at me, all traces of his smile gone and I knew that he wanted to say something but then changed his mind and turned right back to the stove.I followed the amazing smell and it led me to the sauce, cooking slowly on the stove. I peeked at Alex and I saw he was already watching me in amusement. “Do you wanna try it?” He offered.I nodded eagerly and his lips perked up at the corners. He came behind me, reached with his one hand around me and stepped a little bit closer so he was touching me everywhere. I inhaled sharply at the first contact. Then, he carefully brought the wooden spoon up to my lips, willing them to open.I wrapped my lips around the wooden spoon and when the delicious taste hit my tongue,
