Stop Hanging On So Tight, And See Where It Will Lead You “I'm now inclined to think that our friend enjoys sleeping over so much at Ryan's house? Do we need to start sharing the rent between both of us Rainie?” Annie, as shocking as it was, said immediately I unlocked the door with my key card. I was used to Rainie saying that because she loves teasing me to no end, but Annie, our cute Annie was always the kind one with no mean bone in her body. But now, look at her teasing me to no end. Guess when you stay with someone for a while you start picking up some of their habits.“I agree with you. Look at the time she comes into her own home, one might think well that she is now in a relationship with this person she spends the night with every now and then.” Rainie chirped happily like a bird. I knew she was enjoying this way too much.“Guys, it was twice, stop exaggerating.” I felt the need to point out to them because they were about to set sail the notion that I slept at his house con
You Set Yourself Up Violet “And what are you doing here?” Ryan asked Sharron immediately we both entered the office. He was on a biege two-piece travel wear that looked so good against his skin. On other days I would have admired it on him, but this was not every other day because right behind me was a trouble I couldn't say no to- Sharron.“Ryan, why that question? Aren't you happy to see me?" She asked in a hurt tone and lowered her lashes in what she hoped conveyed cute. I almost rolled my eyes at it because I wished I could tell her that she doesn't need to do all those things to win people over to her side or make them pity her because she could convince them by her words. But then again, not my place to tell. “We saw yesterday, didn't we?” He questioned her before his gaze averted to her pink box she had beside her.“And that is for what? Are you traveling somewhere and you decided to drop by to say hi?” He asked.She shook her head with a big grin and said, “No, silly. I am c
Never Wanted The Professionalism To Be This Way.“I call dibs on the chair beside you.” Sharron announced immediately we got inside the plane. Okay, why did she have to say it like I was going to fight for it? I mean, I have basically been conceding to all her request.“No, I need to have a meeting with Violet. You can sit on the other side.” He told her in a tone of finality and settled on his own seat.I looked at her, and she gave me a pleading stare. I looked at Ryan and he was looking at the exchange, before looking at me and raising his right brow up. I could never do that no matter how hard I tried. What a show-off, I thought to myself.“Yes, Violet. Are you going to take your seat or should I perform an act for you to sit?" He asked in an ice-cold tone that I haven't heard in a while.I quickly settled in and strapped my seatbelt in.He pulled closer and whispered, “You seem to enjoy going against me, don't you?"To this I shook my head because honestly, that wasn't the case.
What Sort of Game Were We Playing?I woke up to someone shaking me lightly, I opened my eyes slowly to take in my surroundings. For the first time my tears were enough to put me to sleep and I didn't need any sleep inducing tablets to put at bay my anxiety of flying sometimes. All thanks to Ryan's cold shoulder treatment.I looked at myself and noticed that no longer was the blanket covering my head. Instead I was well tucked in with a pillow above my head and my seat stretched out to form a bed. That wasn't all, my feet had compression socks on them and my heart leaped in joy that despite Ryan's cold shoulder he still cared. That means I still have an opportunity to make amends. I turned excitedly to tell him thank you when my eyes landed on the socks still where I left it and he was no longer by my side. Instead, he was with Sharron and they were chatting animatedly about something. He was so focused on what she was saying that he didn't even notice when her eyes strayed in my direc
All Is Fair In Love And War“So, virgin, huh?" She asked bumping into my shoulder lightly as we got down from the airplane and headed to the car parked afar that had a chauffeur holding Ryan's name on a board.Ryan was a few steps away, so, when she asked me that, I just bent my head shyly, reluctant to answer the question.She noticed my hesitance and possibly thought I was embarrassed to answer the question and not I was embarrassed for him to hear.So she said, “Sorry I am acting this way but I lost my V card when I was fifteen because everyone in my circle already lost theirs and they were like it was no big deal, which now I am looking back at it, I wish I didn't listen to them or let anyone pressure me. That was such a huge step and I lost it to someone who didn't even know the right hole to put it,” She grumbled.I let out a chuckle at this point.“Honestly, it's funny now, but then it was cringe. Do you know he suggested using a torchlight to find where my hole was where we we
Trails Of A Broken Heart“Zurich is so beautiful which is why it remains one of my top vacationing spot everytime. See how it's beautiful at night, imagine in the day? It is beyond magnificent.” Sharron declared, putting out her hands out and spinning in joy as we walked to the hotel room. I was about to tell her to be careful since she was on heels, but, she was so graceful on them that I watched in amazement. Don't get me wrong and assume that I was a klutz, it's just that these days I was clumsy that I have come to the conclusion that a huge part of my recent clumsiness comes with being around Ryan. He makes me nervous and jittery, as a result of that, I am constantly jumpy and never watching where I am headed. It's a whole cycle.“Where did you learn to move like that?" I asked her as she moved her legs in a mesmerizing way turning with one leg and the other on her thighs.She raised her hands in mock surrender and said, “Okay, you've caught on to my trick. Former ballerina here.”
I Am Angry At You“You know I was a fool to like someone like that. We were never going to end up together. I was delusional and this,” I beat my chest a little too hardly causing a concerned look to cross my Listener's face, “This heartbreak I feel is a punishment for my being too greedy.” I told the bartender feeling a bit drowsy from consuming four shots of whiskey. Can it be safe to say that I was a light weight? “Are you sure you aren't drunk? You might want to turn in for the night. I'll soon be done here, so I can take you to your room. What's your room number?” He asked me.I waved him off and said, “Pfft, I am not drunk. Do I look drunk? Look at me,” I told him holding up two hands, “I am looking princess," He chuckled with amusement on his face.I wagged my finger at him and said, “Don't call me princess, it makes me feel weak. If I am a princess, I am Warrior princess Xena. Okay?" I told him in a slurred tone. I was feeling lightheaded, but not enough to not make coherent
I Am Crazy About HerRyan's P.O.V“Yes, I am going to make her see reasons why we can actually end up together during this trip. I might not be able to feel things like other people, but I know I feel something strongly for her, though I don't know what it is yet. I would make her know that when it comes to being with me, she'll never have a reason to feel like she's alone.” I said to myself in my office as I waited for Violet to come so we can board the plane together.When she finally arrived and I heard her voice on the floor, she was talking to someone. She wasn't alone. Who could she be talking to that wasn't already here? I thought to myself.The door opened to reveal her looking as breathtaking as the day I saw her by the bar. In all honesty, the day after I met her, my memory was woozy because I was a bit drunk that day. But, I felt like a crucial memory of that night was missing. It wasn't until she stepped into the interview room that morning that it immediately hit me where
