CHARLOTTE'S POV.“Nah, I don't think I'll go.” I refused popping an almond seed into my mouth.“You guys click, you have to give it a try before refusing.” Diane tried convincing me but I was stubborn.“You don't even know his name and you are convinced that anyone who goes out with your friend clicks.” “I might not know his name but Xavier does and if he trusts him, I also do.”“Don't be so cheesy. Moreover he's going to be my boss, how do you expect me to date and work for him? I don't wanna go through that route again.”“Think of it like this, you both first met at a store and then you went to the cafe waiting for your interviewer only to find out he's the one again. Girl, I'll call this fate and nothing else.”“Fate that I should work with him, that's all.” I concluded.“You know there might be a chemistry between you two, not as an employer and an employee but as lovers.”“Lovers of work.” I smiled.“Oh stop it, I'm being serious here.”“Me too!” I shoute

"Char, wake up." "Leave me alone." I groaned lazily, turning to the other side of the bed. "Won't you wake?" she asked but I didn't respond. Suddenly I felt something sting my face. "Argh. "I screamed as I shot my eyes open to see my best friend, Diane chuckling at the edge of the bed. "What? Don't look at me like that. It isn't my fault. I tried waking you nicely but it wasn't working so I was left with no other choice." she smirked. "Why must you use ice water?" "I don't know." she giggled as she entered my bathroom. "Is today not your first day of work at that famous restaurant down the street?" she asked popping her brown head from the bathroom and I grunted. "What is the time?"I yawned as I stretched my hand to the table near my bed for my phone. 7:34 am. "Oh shit!" I shot out of bed, scurrying to the bathroom bumping into Diane as she came out. "Why didn't you wake me up? Now I'm gonna be late on my first day." "Don't blame me. I did my best darling, but you wouldn't bu

*Riiiinnnggg* Slamming my hand on my blaring alarm, I lazily stood up from the bed and I felt a pain shoot through my body but seeing that if I didn't stand up that time I'd be late for work. Dragging my feet, I went into the bathroom to do my morning business. By the time I came out, I heard my phone ringing. Walking over to the table near my bed where I had placed it, I saw a strange number and acting according to my subconscious I answered but no one answered. "Hello. Who is this?" I asked but still no response. "Hey, if you aren't going to talk, I'm hanging up in three," I said already getting annoyed. "One, two, the...." "Hi, Lottie." a familiar cheery male's voice came in. "Xavier? Is that you?" I asked unsurely. "You sure have a retentive memory," he said. "Xavier!" I screamed with joy. "Yeah." he chuckled over the phone. "It's been a long time. How have you been?" "Great. I'm so happy to hear your voice." "I'm also very excited. I can't stop to think that you'll ever

After that scenario, I couldn't think straight as the picture of them together and also how Dave and I were in the past kept popping into my head making me see the truth. Dave kept looking at her so lovingly and affectionately, a side that I haven't experienced before. "It's for the best." I stated, cleaning a stray tear from my cheeks before entering the elevator with my head bowed. Sadly, I wasn't strong enough to keep my emotions in check and I began to tear up. "Are you okay?" a deep and husky voice said behind me thereby making me jump as I thought I was alone. "Yeah." I sniffed, bringing my hand to my face to wipe the tears from my cheeks when I saw a hand holding a handkerchief towards me. "Thanks." Collecting it, I cleaned my tears and when I turned back to return the handkerchief my breath was caught in my throat, I was speechless. He was the guy from the other day, who had dressed in black, and surprisingly he was still dressed in the same manner just that today he wore

The rest of the week dragged on with me at home treating myself. As fate would have it, the weekend came and here I was, at the entrance of the Church, where Dave was going to get married, now decorated with flowers. From the entrance where I stood, I could see familiar faces whom he had once introduced me to as his fiancée.'Why did you accept to come here in the first place?' my subconscious accused me.'I didn't, I was forced.''No, you weren't. You had the whole week to give him a call, with an excuse why you can't.' my subconscious attacked back and I shook my head vigorously."Are you alright?" I heard a clear, calm voice behind me.Turning around, my twilight meet with a pair of ink iris pairing back at me in amusement and I raised my eyebrow in inquiry."You seemed confused?" he chuckled."Ohhh." I simply said and looked at him again. 'He looks familiar or.....'"Do I kn......""Hey, Charlotte!" a familiar voice squealed behind me, before engulfing me in a tight hug, thereby cu

'Pain.'Pain was the only feeling I felt at that moment. My head was banging in agony, and I couldn't even find it in me to move my body. It felt like I was tied down and couldn't move of my free will.After what seemed like an eternity passed before I could open my eyes. Only to be met by the ray of the sun that seeped through the crystalline window.“Shit.” I groaned as I shifted uncomfortably on my bed just to find it a lot comfortable than mine, and it was softer than my rock bed.Snapping my eyes open, I realized I wasn't in my room, and I wasn't in my bed. The pain was overshadowed by the fear that had begun building into its climax in me.'How......'Startled, I jerked off the bed only to be hit by an agonizing headache.“Argh…”'Where the fuck is this freaking place?' 'Why the fuck am I here?' 'What on earth happened to me?'I began walking around the room to find any clue or any escape route. My eyes widened in shock when I stood in front of the mirror.“Fuck.” I muttered.I w

Today was very hectic at work as the CEO was coming by and Victor, the new manager, was doing his best to impress him by showing how well the restaurant ran under his care. The kitchen was extra busy as he insisted that we make different courses of the meal.“Ms. Miles, Victor requests to see you in his office ASAP.” Riele, one of the waitresses, rushed into the kitchen. “And he seems to be angry.” Confused, I asked her. “Victor? The manager?”“Yeah.” She said before leaving.Panicking, I looked into Alex's eyes while I took off my apron, but he was as confused as I was wondering.“Don't worry. When hasn't he been angry?” Alex tried comforting me.“But this time he requests to see me?” I whisper-yelled before going out of the busy kitchen.While I walked to his office, I tried calming myself down, but it wasn't working as the rumors of how strict he was with the employees and how he acted like a total jerk. The thought alone made me shudder in fear.I tried to look composed and calm b

Life at work has been harder and depressing ever since he stepped his feet into the restaurant. If I had known that it was his restaurant, I wouldn't have signed up for a job there. Now I wake up every day with a headache, worried that he'd find fault in whatever I do, giving him a tangible reason to terminate my employment.Though while at work, he acted like I didn't exist, and it was enough for me not to care. But when it got to the point when he came to the kitchen to check what we had been preparing, I was affected. I'll give him the credit for being efficient as the owner and didn't act like a jerk when it came to his work. He was attentive to every detail and others. His move was perfect, in that the workers had a fan club dedicated to him.“Char, take a break,” Alex shouted over the sizzling meat as he came back from his break.I was glad when I entered the locker room to meet it empty. Holding my peanut butter with sandwiches, I sauntered to a bench. I was about to eat when so

FIONA'S POV.“How about this lip tint?” Amanda asked, walking up to me as she applied it on her lips.I shook my head. “Hmmm, I'm not sure about that. It doesn't look like your style. It looks weird.” I hit her butt jokingly as I checked through the shelf.“I want to try more something bolder. Most of the ones I have are cool colour and moreover guys are attracted to bold girls.” she giggled.“You are such a slut.”“Speaking of guys, what about the guy you said you went to his company? Hm.. Keith right?” she asked and my hands paused mid air. “Did his mom get back to you?” she continued. “I guess not.”“You know, I heard that when his mom tells him to do something, he obeys without question.”“Ohh, she's aristocratic. Interesting. But you know she has to be careful cause he's slipping out of her hands without her knowledge.”I was about saying ‘It can't be possible' when my phone rang.“Speaking of the devil.” I smiled seeing the caller's ID.“Fiona, where are yo

FLASHBACK“Miss. Diane, I won't be home that often so you should feel comfortable.” Keith told Charlotte after the third day she had arrived at his home. “Just feel at home, I'm sure that there are places you'd love to visit so just be free and do what you want. As long as it doesn't breach the contract.” he added.“Okay.” Charlotte managed, too surprised at him.“If that's understood, I would be going now.” he smiled before leaving the house all to her.Stunned, she couldn't tear her gaze away from the entrance. In all of the work she had done, this was the first time someone told her to feel at home and not bother about him.Spinning around swiftly, she squealed before running into her room.Throwing a faded jean and a blue tank top on, she went back to the living room.She was already stepping out when Jack showed up infront of me, startling me.“Sorry, for scaring you.” “No need to apologize, Jack. Moreover, I was too excited.” she beamed happily at him.“Mr

My grumbling stomach woke me up from sleep and I rose from the bed grudgingly. As I sat up from the bed, I checked my phone. It was 1:12 am. It was becoming a habit to wake up hungry at midnight ever since I had the accident. Carefully through the hallway in order not to stumble into anything, I sluggishly found my way to the equally dark kitchen and I rummaged the wall for the switch. Turning it on, I shrieked at the view in front of me, sending any traces of sleep from my eye.In my line of view were Xavier and Diane smooching on my kitchen counter.On my kitchen counter!!They immediately stopped what they were doing when the light came on but I had already seen the inevitable.“What the...” I cursed and a flushed Diane quickly pushed Xavier forward as she jumped down from the counter. “Wait.” I stopped her from moving over to me. “Don't come over, just.. just continue with what you were doing. I...I only came to get a refill.” I said thankful that I held my water flask.A smile wa

AUTHOR'S POV.“Diane, what the....” Charlotte lunged at her friend who immediately ran behind Xavier for cover.“I'm sorry I had to do it.” Diane defended and her eyes widened in disbelief.“You.. you ha...you had to do it?" She scoffed at her as she clenched her fists.“I'm sorry,” Diane repeated.“You are sorry? Where do you expect me to start looking for a job? You out of all people should know how hard it was for me to secure this and you went ahead to drop a resignation letter on my behalf behind my back?”“I just felt that you needed the space.” Diane innocently mumbled audible enough for her to hear.“Space?” Charlotte hissed before veering around to Xavier who held back in all of this.“Did you hear her? She said she thought that I needed the space? The fucking space?” she laughed angrily as she paced back and forth. “You see that's what you don't fucking get, there was never a damn closeness, to begin with. Any closeness is damn buried in the past so there's no

I wish I was dead and that my eyes never opened to life but I was so wrong. The strong scent of antiseptic filled my nostrils and I weakly opened my eyes to a strange room, painted in white. I tried to turn my head when a great pain struck me.Lying still, I closed my eyes as I thought it could relieve the pang.“Is she dead?” I heard a whimpering voice beside and I snapped my eyes open in an instant. I saw a fragile figure standing by my side though it was blurry I could still decipher who it was with the way she spoke.“Diane?” I crooked as my throat felt too dry.“Let me get the doctor.” someone else spoke but I was too surprised to see her here so I didn't see the person.“Charlotte?” she jumped on me as she cried harder and I whimpered in pain. Shooting up instantly, she looked at me emphatically. “I'm sorry.”“What are you doing here?” I managed again but before she could make a reply a doctor came in.Throughout the examination that the doctor did, my sole concentration was on

“It was so frustrating.” I lamented as I relayed the events of the past months to Diane.“I made you go through this, I'm sorry.”“It isn't your fault, you had no option but to stay back.”“So what happened when you met him at Dave's?”“What do you expect? He acted like I didn't exist.” I shrugged making an effort to brush off the stinging impact it had been on me. “Enough of me. What about you? How are you managing?” I switched the course of the discussion.“I just got a job as a personal assistant,” Diane declared “Congratulations babe.”“You know. Xavier came over today.”“Tell me more.”Diane was about to speak when the doorbell rang.Darting towards the door, I cut through her words. “Give me a minute, please. I think the delivery is at the door.” Standing from the sofa I trudged towards the door and the bell rang again. When I eventually unlocked the door, regret washed through me as I blamed myself for not checking through the peephole.Wearing a stern face, I asked coldly. “
One-Time Affair Black meets Hazel.
KEITH POV.These past few months have been hell for me. The pain unbelievably grew to a point I felt like I was going to fall dead at any time.Seeing her smile, my heart twisted in longing. She looked more beautiful than she had been and with every passing day, it did me no good. It was pure torture. The more I saw her around the more I wanted to know about her.I had never imagined that I'd be going over to Dave's but here I was at their entrance arching to know more about her because she was driving me crazy beyond imagination. Finally gathering the courage I rang the doorbell.”Keith.” Zoe squealed in excitement when she opened the door.”Hey." I waved a little smile on my face.”Who's that Wifey?” I heard Dave's voice behind her and she opened the door widely, revealing me to him.”Long time no see....bro.” I grinned at him as I pocketed my hands shifting from one foot to another.“You!” he shouted as he pounced at me, tackling me to the ground.A

“No, Sydney we are not doing that again," I shouted as I ran in the store, not minding the states people were giving me.“But it would look yummy on you." She persisted as she ran after me.“No!"I was already getting tired but I wasn't going to give up. My vision was also getting blurry due to dizziness and I was grateful that people paved the way for me.Catching a glimpse of an opened door, I went straight for it and turned the lock not giving her a chance to get in when she caught up with me.Coughing, I wheezed due to loss of breath and on turning to see where I had ended up.“Oh my...." I gasped.In front of me stood someone I can call a demigod. He looked immaculate. From his upturned ink eyes to his pointed nose down to his thin lips. He was an eye candy”Excuse me?"'Oh my...' I could feel my legs turn jelly hearing his honey sweet voice.”Excuse me?" He called again and I snapped out of whatever trance I had gone into.“Oh hey." I smiled as I awkwardly waved at him.”If I may
