It’s been two weeks since Jason and I came back to LA. Things have been great between us. I have been happier than ever these past few weeks. I just wish things continue to go this way for us.“Eleanor, great, you are still here,” Jason says, walking to my desk. He just stepped out of his office.“Do you need something?” Vivienne and I are supposed to be on our way to lunch. I am not eating lunch today with Jason. Vivienne invited me to have lunch with her.“I need you to make a list of the five top architectural firms that are best for remodeling office spaces.”“Oh, okay. I will have it ready an hour after lunch or sooner.”“You can take your time,” He says, walking to the elevator. He is meeting up with Evan for lunch.“Jason,” I say, stopping him in his tracks“Yes,” He says, turning around to face me“If you don’t mind me
I kiss Jason goodbye and walk inside the house. He just dropped me off at home. The day I went to his house, I took a cab to his place. I borrowed the car to Uncle Jack. I turn the doorknob and step inside the house.“My eyes, my eyes, my eyes,” I say, screaming while closing my eyes.“Oh my God, Eleanor. What are you doing here?” Uncle Jack says, falling to the ground. I heard a thump.I can’t dare open my eyes until he and Vivienne put on clothes. I can’t believe I walked in on him and Vivienne. I need to stop walking in on people having sex.“I live here; please put on some clothes so I can open my eyes.”“I am so sorry, you saw that,” Vivienne says, putting on a shirt. I can hear clothes ruffling, so I am guessing they are putting on clothes.“It’s fine. Are you guys decent?”“Yes, you can open your eyes,” Uncle Jack says,“I thi
The following day I keep my bag on my desk and walk to Jason’s office. I enter without knocking since Jason is not around. He is downstairs talking to the company’s head of marketing. I place his coffee on his desk and walk over to the bookshelves to get a file he asked me to work on this morning.I am having difficulties reaching the files. I am about to turn around and get a table to help me reach it easily when someone grabs my waist and lifts me off the ground.“Hi, Jason,” I say, looking down at him.“Be fast; you are not as light as a feather,” Jason says, pretending to act like I weigh a ton. I know I am not light, but I am sure I don’t weigh that much.“I didn’t ask you to carry me,” I say, carrying the file from the top shelf.“I know, but I felt like seeing your ass in my face today,” Jason says, kissing my ass before dropping me back on the ground.“You
Uncle Jack and I are having dinner together for the first time in a while. I usually eat dinner with Jason, even on days when Uncle Jack is not working the night shift. I want to tell him tonight that I have decided to move in with Jason. I haven’t told Jason yet. I felt I should tell uncle jack first.“Spill,” Uncle Jack says, noticing me holding back from saying something.“I have decided to move in with Jason.”“Hmm, so you were serious about moving out.”“Yes, I was”“Are you sure you are ready to take that step in your relationship with Jason”“I believe I am.”“If you feel you are, then it’s fine with me. I won’t stop you from moving out.”“Really,” I was worried he wouldn’t like the idea of me moving in with Jason since he is not too happy about me moving out of the house in general.“Yes,
I wipe my tears and walk upstairs to change out of my nightie. I quickly take it off and change into a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. I pick my keys from the table downstairs and take the elevator to the parking lot. I need to go to Amber’s place right now. I don’t know what to do, and she will be the best person to help.I park my car in front of Amber’s place and walk up to her door. I try my best to keep my tears at bay so I can talk to her properly when I see her.“Who the hell is knocking on my door this early in the morning,” Amber barks. She opens the door, and once she sees me, the frown on her face goes away immediately. “Eleanor, what’s wrong? What are you doing here so early? Why are you crying? Did something bad happen?” She asks, worried.“Ja-Ja-a” I am hyperventilating, so it’s hard to talk with so many tears running down my face.“Did something happen to Jason?&rdqu
JASON The night of the party… I walk into the gardens where my grandma is having her party. I don’t know what she’s celebrating, but I know I have to attend, regardless. I wish Eleanor had come with me, but I understand why she didn’t. I don’t understand why my grandma can’t see the amazing woman Eleanor is. I hope my grandma sees it one day, and they can finally get along. “Hello, grandma,” I say, hugging her. “Hello, dear. How are you doing?” she asks, hugging me back. “I’m well, and you?” “Good as well, dear. Where is she?” she asks, looking over my shoulder probably for Eleanor. “She didn’t feel like coming,” “That’s good to hear.” she smiles. The smile gracing her face makes me realize Eleanor had no hope with my grandma, as she had tried to tell me before. My grandma didn’t like Eleanor and didn’t bother to hide it anymore. “I’d like you to meet someone, my dear. I ran into her while at the mall a few days ago,” Grandma says, waving her hand toward someone behind me. “H
I drag my feet as I walk to the bathroom to pee. These past two weeks have been the worse two weeks of my life. I have cried so much I feared I would become sick. I didn’t know what Jason meant to me until his betrayal.I have not had a good meal and sleep in days because of what happened. I spend the whole night thinking about him and crying. I never have the appetite to eat these days. Amber, Evan, Uncle Jack, and Vivienne tried to encourage me to eat, but I didn’t see a reason to eat when all I wanted to do was disappear from the surface of the earth. I felt so much pain that I wished I didn’t exist sometimes.I step into the bathroom, and as I pass the mirror, I look at myself. The bones in my neck are more visible than usual. My eyes are bloodshot red and swollen from too much crying. My nose is also red from crying and too much sniffing. I looked like a zombie, to sum it up. I empty my bladder and sprinkle some water on my face before stepping o
I listen to Jason’s heartbeat as his hands draw smoothening patterns on my bareback. Jason and I just finished making love. After we released from our first kiss, Jason kissed me again, and before I knew what was happening, I found myself screaming Jason’s name in my bedroom. I missed being in his arms like this. I wish he would never have to stop holding me.“Jason,” I say, into his chest“Yes, love,” He replies into my hair.“I have a few things to ask regarding the video we watched earlier.”“What would you like to ask consigning it?”“How did you get it?”“I am a billionaire honey, getting CCTV footage of a restaurant is not hard for me.”“I know you must have hired someone to get the video for you, but what I am asking is, how did you know your grandmother set you up. Talk more of getting a video of her conversation with Christine.”
