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
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
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
“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 &
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
“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,
I had been there before but tonight, this place seemed completely strange and unknown to me. And I knew it had everything to do with my nerves.I jumped up when I felt Alex’s warm hand wrapping around my calves and putting them up on his legs. I watched him with big, questionable eyes when he started taking off my heels. “Alex, what are you doing?” I tried to pull my legs back but he gripped them tighter.Alexander smiles reassuringly. “Just relax, baby.” And my eyebrows shot up as there’s something very wrong in this situation.When he had my feet bare, he put his hands on them and started to lightly massage them. I threw my head back, my eyes rolling back and a moan escaped from my lips. I clamped my mouth shut when I realized what I did and I peeked at Alex only to see that he was now very still, his hands were unmoving and he watched me, his eyes wide open.I didn’t know what to say or if I sh
I woke up more tired than I went to bed last night, it seemed. I didn’t sleep well & I had trouble falling asleep when I did, I had a lot of nightmares waking me up and then had trouble falling back asleep again.I looked exactly how I was feeling; tired, vain and sad. I didn’t eat much but only drank a big cup of tea and dragged me to work although I wasn’t feeling good today.Everyone noticed my pale and shaggy appearance but didn’t comment on it including John and Saira and I was relieved because I didn’t have the strength to explain myself to anyone.After a few hours of work and then I went to the restroom to freshen up a bit but when I was exiting from it, a big, muscular arm wrapped around me from behind, pulling me into a big, solid body. I wanted to scream but I heard him saying: “Hello, dolcezza (sweetheart)!” followed by a kiss on my cheek.My body
