Andy's POV:
We were standing in the middle of a long hallway, we were facing the restrooms, he loosened his tie taking another deep breath, he was mad, so mad! I've never seen him this way before, he used to get mad at work, but I swear I've never seen him lose it this much.
"it wasn't supposed to be you Andy" he said in the most cold look, my eyes widened, what does he mean? suddenly the realization hit me!! remembering what he had whispered in my ear earlier, about being ready...he thought I was someone else!!
"I thought you're someone else, that's why...I danced with you, and get so close to you, but it was supposed to be some other girl, we planned for all of this, that she'll be my 'fiancée' in front of Chloe, but you screwed it all up!!!" he said hitting the wall behind me making me gasp from fear and surprise, he was facing me with his mad blue eyes, making me look at them.
"This is insane, why did you continue your game after you figured it was me anyway?" I asked, he shot me one of his deadly glares.
"Are you fucking kidding me Andy? I just explained to you everything, why do you have to be so fucking stupid?" he yelled making me flinch. Tears were beginning to form in the corner of my eyes!! I only nodded, started to walk away from him, he followed but said nothing .
When we're back to the party, all I did was get drink after drink. I was upset, and sad from his cruel words, he didn't have to be so cruel. I started to get daisy from all the drinks, which is why I decided to call for a cab.
When my cab arrived I walked outside the hotel feeling my knees weak and trembling, I wasn't myself at all, I checked my phone it was already 11:00.PM, I sigh, remembering the fact that I'm having work tomorrow, and the possibility of waking up with a bad hangover, I shouldn't have drink this much!!
I opened the door, I was about to get inside the cab, but a strong hand grabs my wrist, I look up to see his blue eyes gazing into mine, his eyes were the first reason that I'm attracted to him, I realized I was looking at his face for what looks like ages, so I looked away shaking my head, is this some kind of a dream? I couldn't believe my eyes, I closed them, opening them again to see he was really here, I could feel my heart beats racing. Why is he here?
"What kind of man leaves his fiancée heads home in a cab?" he asked, closing the door shut, the cab immediately left cursing for wasting his time, while we started walking, he was still holding my wrist tightly , while me? I was following him from behind, when he found his car, he opened the door for me, getting inside as well, we were seated on the back seats, while there was a driver on the front seat.
The car started, the driver asked for my address which I gave him immediately, I was tired, sleepy, and a bit drunk! Heading home would be a nice idea.
Harris remained silent, so did I. I was staring outside my window, feeling as if I was going insane, maybe because he was sitting with me silently, but his eyes were focused on me, I finally looked up at him questioningly.
"you didn't have to do that...why did you?" he finally asked I shrugged, "you didn't have to, but you did it anyway, why?" he asked again still confused, "cause, I know the feeling, I've been there" I said, it's true, it hurts to love someone you know he's already moved on.
He looked away, "it's not the same" he said looking outside his window, I looked away too, of course it's not the same, that girl was pure evil! She's such a bitch!!!
We were finally parking outside my house, I immediately got outside the car, without a word, he didn't say anything too, he didn't even bother to look at me, I closed the door behind me, the car left leaving me standing for a moment in the spot, I sigh, this was a hell of a crazy night!!
********************
"I wanted hot details, not a boring drunk that I'll have to take care of her bad hangover the next morning!!!" Tress said I giggled at that, I put another pillow on my head, but she pushed it away anyway.
"Get up Andy, please just pretty please I need details, how was the party? Did he notice you? How was it?" She started asking nonstop.
"Nothing happened Tress, we just...danced a little " I said remembering the way we danced, being so close to Harris was something new, something I've never experienced before!
"You danced?!!!" she asked standing, she was so excited about it, I giggled again she held a pillow inside her arms and starts to dance along with it, this girl is really into love novels, she doesn't know that love has two faces, the first face would make you feel as if you're up in the sky, while the other one would crash you down to the ground.
"So? what happened next?" she asked, sitting again, I shrugged, "nothing, just that, he drove me home, that's all" I said while her eyes widened, "Oh my god!! Nothing? You calling this nothing? Oh my god Andy you're so stupid!! This guy cares about you, he's totally into you" she said as if she knows everything in this world. I was about to tell her everything, but I decided I shouldn't talk about it, since it's something concerning Harris's private life.
"I'm telling you girl, I know, it's what happens in movies" she said kissing the pillow she holding, I rolled my eyes, "this is not a movie, this is real world, get up and let me have some sleep, I have work tomorrow, and don't forget to take the pillow with you, I don't need it anymore" I said in a disgust look, she giggles sticking out her tongue at me, after she left I turn off the lights, I closed my eyes, but to my bad luck, I couldn't sleep, feeling my heart racing, remembering tonight, and Harris's closeness to me.
************************
I got to work ten minutes late, I got inside the elevator pushing the button as fast as I could, holding my coffee, I'm in so much trouble, Harris was mad at me last night, and now this? Coming late to work, he hates it when his employers are late, he's strict when it comes to rules and work, I guess this is what made him successful, the elevator's doors opens, I immediately rushed to my desk, where I could see my office colleagues, Stephan, and Jill, "hey" I greeted them, they were giving me shocked looks, "you just came? You're late?" Steph said acting as if he was shocked, I rolled me eyes, "give her a break, it must be so annoying for her to come late for the first time, it must've took a lot of effort from her to come late" Jill sneers, giggling along with him, I rolled my eyes, sitting on my chair.
"Anyway, Mr. Ford called you into his office ten minutes ago" Steph said, "I gaped from shock, NO!!
"Yeah, he knows you're late," Jill added to my shock. I stood immediately, storming out of my office, I wonder why he called for me to go to his office? What would make him want me in his office?
I was facing his office door. I hesitated to knock or go inside his office. I felt a strange and an awkward feeling, knowing well that something changed between us last night. I don't know what it was, but it definitely didn't feel like the relationship we had before.
I decided I should knock, and shake off this feeling, I knocked, "Come in" he said I gulped opening the door...
Andy's POV:I opened the door and walked inside his office, looking at him. He was sitting on his chair reading from a paper he was holding, ignoring the fact I was standing facing him. His eyes finally met my gaze, making my knees weaken, I couldn't stand anymore, he's got a hold on me, and he doesn't even know his power, he doesn't know how weak he could make me with just a glance from his eyes."Take a seat, Andy" he offered me to sit, which I immediately did. I was looking at him silently, he put the paper he was holding on his desk, looking at me, he stood from his chair, fixing his tie."You were late..." he started saying, I looked up at him, trying to say something but he shakes his head, he doesn't like to hear excuses, I know, but..."Andy, since when have you been working at this company?" he asked. I frowned, is he thinking about firing me?"Sir, I..." I started saying but he shook his head, again, I think I know what's happening right here, I've become certain, he called
Andy's POV:I was inside his office already waiting for him, it's been half an hour, and he's still not here. I stood from the chair, walking towards the door when I heard his voice, I gasped running back to the chair, I sigh, I'm so nervous about this! Why does he want me here, again?The door cracked open, I fixed myself looking at him, he wasn't mad, but he wasn't happy either. He walked towards his office, sitting on his chair facing me, holding a paper, reading from it, as if I didn't exist, "sir...you wanted to see me?" I started saying, he looked at me nodding."was that the guy from your notebook?" he asked directly, just like that, without introductions or anything, he went right to the point, "sir...what are you..." I started talking but he shook his head, "he's one of our employees, I assume I made that point clear the other day, it's against the company policy" he said standing from his chair, still holding the paper in his hand."He's not...more than a work friend, you do
Andy's POV:I walked inside my apartment, still feeling daisy from all the madness that just happened. I just signed a marriage contract with my boss!! Not only that, he's also the man I've been dreaming about for a long time.As I entered my apartment I noticed Tress sitting on the sofa watching TV while a half pizza was placed next to her on the table, I looked away from her, how could I forget about Tress? Of course I can easily lie to everyone, but lying to her? I don’t think that’s even possible."So your mom called” she said stopping me in my tracks, I stopped walking closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before facing her again, she’s the only one who knows about my strong feelings for Harris, more specifically my boss."And?” I asked pretending that I have no idea of what’s she’s talking about, “Nothing, just the fact that you’re getting married in a month, and you didn’t tell me anything about it, but you know...it’s not like I’m that close to you or anything, I mean it’s jus
Andy's POV:Heaven... that's the word to describe the view I was looking at, white clouds were so real and fluffy, while the sky was blue and clear. I looked down to see the ground beneath us, too small. As the plane got closer to the ground, the world start getting bigger and clearer. I noticed patches of green fields. As the plane got even closer, I could see more details, like little houses and the cars that seemed like ants along the roads.I was so excited and overwhelmed from the view I was facing, I looked at Harris and pushed his arm a little to share the view with him but he only smirked shaking his head looking away from me staring at his phone that was on his hand.The feeling of sadness hits me, as I remembered that all of this isn’t real. How could I forget that this is just a lie? I looked away from him feeling sad, and face the view I was enjoying moments ago, only to realize that we have finally started landing.As we exited the plane, Harris walked ahead while I follo
Andy's POV:Harris’s parents were looking at me in an uncomfortable way, as if I was some prostitute or something, I start to regret this already. Harris hand left mine when they were finally facing us, his mom looked at him one more time before she could finally say something.“who is this?” she asked, I froze looking directly at Harris who was already looking at me. He wasn’t surprised by her question like me, he saw it coming, but why?...NO!!! He still didn’t tell them?? I wonder if he tells them what their reaction would be like, they already hate me.“This is Andy. mom, dad, I want you to meet my fiancée” he said with the most confident tone I’ve ever heard, his father smiled at him, then looked at me, “nice to meet you Andy, I’m Hector” he said shaking my hand then looked at his son smiling at him as if he was saying ‘nice choice’ . His mother still can’t react to what her son just said.“Well…I’m a little bit disappointed…” she started saying, I felt as if someone just slapped
Andy’s POV: We stood there both of us staring at Wendy, her eyes were wide open, she was staring at us. She cleared her throat, her face turning red. She smiled walking outside the room closing the door slowly, “sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt” she said after she shut the door closed. Harris and I both let out a deep breath we were holding, feeling relieved that she didn’t hear anything. Harris turned to look at me, “if you ever bring this up again, if anyone ever knows about this? It’ll be the end of you!! You know what will happen Andy, you do whatever you have to do, whatever feelings you have inside of you, just turn them off” he said holding my neck tightly, he was hurting me. I closed my eyes trying to get rid of his grip, but his grip was tightening even harder. “p-please, I’ll do whatever you say, just let go of me” I said almost begging, I felt as if I was suffocating, as if he had the power to take out my soul with one hand, I wasn’t able to move, I felt as if I’ll break m
Andy's POV: “you had to bring this up? Didn’t you?” Wendy said standing as well, she seemed a bit annoyed, “I’m sorry, you had to witness this…” she started saying but I stood as well, “earlier you said I’m one of the family, I ‘am” I said she smiled, even though there was a shade of sadness in her eyes.“let me help you with the dishes” I said standing, she nodded, “thanks” she said holding the dishes, I walked by her. I never knew that Harris had these kind of arguments with his father, however, he didn’t have to be so rude, it’s still he’s father.Wendy and I headed to the kitchen, while Hector left the table right after Harris left. “I thought we could have a peaceful dinner, as a family, I guess I was wrong” Wendy sighed, I remained silent, I have no idea of what to say at moments like this.“Harris and Hector they’re not so close, I guess it’s because Hector was so busy, that he didn’t have time to build a strong relationship with Harris. I had hoped that someday their relation
Andy’s POV: “that’s all what happened, I don’t know why you refuse to believe me Tress!!” I said standing from my chair, it’s been two days since I came back from Italy. Tress refuse to believe that there’s no development in my relationship with Harris. Wendy calls me now and then, she asked for my number right after our goodbye. However Harris who I’m worry about, he’s been so calm since we came back from Italy, he’s not giving orders, and even at work, he doesn’t speak till it’s necessary. “you’re doing it again Andy…you’re not even listening to me, are you sure everything’s okay?” Tress said seemed worried, I rolled my eyes, “Tress, I’m totally fine” I said. The doorbell rang, I opened to see a familiar face, I know this guy, he’s Harris’s driver. I frowned, what is he doing here? “morning…” I said, “morning, Mr. Ford sent me to take you wherever you want to go, I believe it’s about the wedding preparation” he said, I frowned. “excuse me, but he didn’t…excuse me for a second” I
