Chapter 23: Decisions (Part One)
The lobby was as busy as how she remembered it, people dressed in formal attire walking through the gigantic room, heading towards the elevator with huge files in their hands, she didn't mind them though, unlike before she couldn't, her mind was too scattered to care about their thoughts of her or she not fitting in , the people also didn't care, just sparing her a glimpse and then walking hurriedly, they were too busy working to care about the odd girl.
Grace kept walking, mindlessly, one memory eminent in her mind, the memory of her mother's tears, she couldn't help but think about it, her mother had cried so much the previous day, thinking about how she was going to care for her and her education, even she felt helpless but had to be strong for her. Her only so
Okay Woah, I'm speechless too
Black Entertainment January 29th, 8Am.(2 hours Before Grace's Arrival)"So I think Louis' popularity is on the edge as no article has been written about him for the past 6 months, I'm particularly scared for him loosing his touch". Miranda said with a frown as she checked through the file in front of her. DD who sat opposite her in the round table concurred clearly agreeing with the lady, But Justin thought otherwise."Louis never had a touch to begin with, he is too normal and has no special element that the entertainment industry needs." he said mockingly, "He was by far our worst decisions, no acting skills and surely no talent, just a handsome buffoon with an ego the size of a mou
Chapter 25: Personal Desires Leonard sighed stepping out of the Elevator. He went straight to his office door, to be stopped by Patricia his secretary who was stationed in front of his office, on seeing him, she got up to her feet before greeting him with a smile. "Good Morning Sir". "Good Morning Patricia". He greeted less enthusiastic. He walked further towards the door when he was stopped by her. "Well Sir, Mr Lodovico dropped a girl and this for you before leaving". A Girl, He thought, Just what he needs. Patricia rushed to her table grabbing a letter before handing it to Mr Black, who opened it, to read. A little Early morning banging for you
Chapter 26: Eliene Her Body was hot all over. Her waist, her hands and Mostly her neck. She was on fire. The previous experience was so foreign to her that it left her dumbfounded sitting in the luxurious car, trying to figure out what had just happened to her. Her innocence showed more than ever with how foreign her body was feeling after being touched and kissed by a man who scared and intimidated her. Mr Black. She hadn't liked it, but she didn't have the power to protest, it was so unexpected and fast she barely had time to recover. She couldn't tell what was happening to her until the hot kiss touched her neck, but what paralyzed her was when he uttered those three words. I want You.. Those three
Everything was coming together, Everything was starting to make sense, and slowly Grace felt she was getting back together too. Her mother's ear to ear smile was enough proof that she was okay, That they were okay too. "I'm happy Mum," Grace chuckled "I really am". She pulled her mother in for another hug while she ran her hands over her back gently. "I am too, We will be fine Grace, I promise''. Eliene pulled away, before kissing her forehead gently. Grace Gave her mother a toothy smile, While she returned it too. Beep... The sound of a notification on her phone snapped her out of her daze, She bent to reach for it, while her mum proceeded to take care of the kitchen. Grace tapped the phone awake, she looked at it to see it was a missed call from Jason, She tapped the number calling him back. What could be the problem..
Jason sat at the same corner they sat the previous day . He had a loose white tee on , with some ripped denim to match, Grace couldn't see his shoes, but she expected a converse, same as he had dressed the previous day. As she walked further into the restaurant towards his table she watched him, as he sat quietly sipping his coffee, His phone placed loosely on his hands and his eyes fixed strongly on it while his thumb scrolled through the scrim slowly. His hair were in loose curls resting loosely on his eyes just directly on his lashes. As Grace walked closer to him she noticed the little bits of freckles scattered beautiful under his eyes. She smiled softly as she admired him from afar, and like telepathy he noticed her presence, turning a full 360 degrees to meet her eyes. Jason's face lit up as he saw her, He immediately covered the distance between them , his eyes raking slowly over her body before resting on her face. &
"We're here". It was a wake-up call from Jason , She looked around noticing they had stopped moving and were parked close to an ice cream truck that was situated at the other side of the road. Jason pulled over at the ice cream truck, He made sure the bike was secured then he stepped down first before helping Grace down the bike. He helped her remove her helmet before holding her hands gently and leading her over to the ice cream shop. The bus was packed and a good number of people gathered Infront of it all screaming orders or making complaints towards the old men who seemed to own the van, They managed to attend to the customers though it proved difficult, with how sweaty they were . They managed to walk towards the bus though it proved hard moving to the front, They both new they had to wait their turn. "I love Ice Cream", A smile Graced Her face, her eye
The ride back home was silent, only the sounds of engines and people's chatter as they drove along could be heard. Another distraction was the brown paper file that Grace held tightly between her arms . Grace had refused to speak about it or even speak at all. And Jason respected that . The ride ended fast, faster than they both expected, Especially Grace who was brought back to her senses when she felt that they weren't in motion anymore. They were relieved however as the awkwardness could be partially avoided. Grace helped herself down the motorbike one foot at a time not waiting for Jason's help. Once down she strode to the other side standing on the pavement a few feet away from Jason's bike. Jason removed his helmet first, he placed it on his laps before turning to meet her. He noticed her clushed hands and how tightly she held the brown file almost like her life depended on it, he looked at it suspicious, but m
"Don't leave me too". Grace heard him say before his head fell on her shoulder his weight pulling her to the ground on her knees. She held unto him tightly, not wanting him to fall, She turned towards the sofa calculating the possibility of her successfully carrying this man that was twice her weight to the sofa without tripping and she realised it wasn't much of a possibility, so she rested on the floor pulling her legs out in a sitting position while she rested his head on her leg. Grace watched him as he slept, She felt a tingling sensation in her stomach as he cuddled her waist wrapping his hands around it, while he continued sleeping. She wasn't sure what to do so she sat there watching him , she let him sleep and didn't ask questions, Grace just let him be. The wrinkles on his eyes were small stretching through his eyes, but he was handsome as ever even his sleep.. His hair was soft on her
