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
I Don't Think I Could Survive Us Not Being Together Anymore RYAN'S P.O.V“You,” She yelled removing herself from my embrace. I was shocked at the sudden change of cute to aggressive, but then again, it was Violet, whenever was she predictable.“You made me so angry,” She declared before putting her head on the counter.“Sorry about that man. She's a bit in her feelings today. Apparently, I made her angry.” I told the bartender who was watching the exchange between both of us. I was certain that she had him entertained today with her antics and he wouldn't be forgetting her in a hurry.“Don't let her go man, she's the full package. I have chuckled and had a fun shift today because of her. Trust me, I am adverse to relationships, but for someone like her, I would consider it.” He told me with admiration shining in his eyes as he watched her laying her on the counter.“Don't I know it,” I said looking at her too. This was Violet we were talking about, quite unpredictable. Quick to smile
When Someone Likes You Simply For YouRYAN'S P.O.V“You're so comfortable, even in my dreams. I must like you so much that holding you feels so real and I don't even hate it,” Violet said from her sleep. I looked up from my phone to where she had her hands wrapped around my waist and her head on my chest smiling contently in her sleep. I must have been delusional when I didn't see the clear signs that Violet also liked me too. But now, the closer I looked, the more I realized that all along, she's always liked me, I have just been too blind to see it or she kept it so hidden that I couldn't catch a whiff of it. But to see her hold me longingly now like her life depended on it made me warm in a lot of places.“I want to remain in my dreams because only then can I hold you as much as I want without feeling there is anything I need to do than liking you,” She held onto me and purred like a cat. Her smile was content, like she truly derived so much joy in holding me.I didn't say anything
