2024-10-29 19:42:56I woke up before Beth, feeling sore from yesterdays fall. I was still upset about my broken heel but frankly I had more things to worry about.
Williams gift sat on the bedside table, sparkling in the morning sun light. I didn't have the urge to put it on no matter how much Beth begged, because I didn't know how to react to it. The first thought that came to mind for me was that he was trying to buy his apology. But then again, we had no time to actually talk to each other since we were busy after the cart incident, so maybe he'll apologize today.
Either way, I knew today was going to be eventful.
I dragged myself out of bed and tied my hair back up into a bun. Slipping on my sandals, I reached for the door knob only to be stopped by the sparkling bracelet that mocked me. It would be

"I can't do this, William," I said, taking my coffee cup and starting for the door. He lightly grabbed my arm, flung me around and planted his lips onto mine. At that moment I forgot everything that I had planned to do. All I cared about was the kiss. So soft and gentle...but I couldn't be doing this! I couldn't let my feelings get in the way of why I was really here. In truth, I didn't know what to feel for William. I was letting the past get in the way of me actually letting go and allowing my heart to make decisions. One part of me liked William while the other just wanted him to leave me alone so I wouldn't get hurt again. I pulled away after coming to my senses "William I-" "No, don't say you can't do this, or that this isn't right, because its right for me, and I know it's right for you. You can keep pushing me away but-but Ill

As we watched Sebastian force himself to be happy in front of the press, the realization that it was Valentine's Day hit me again. I needed to get something for William. I figured I would keep it small. Chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate. I saw a small general store with Valentines Day themes spread out inside, so I figured that would be the best place to start. "Hey Lucas, do you think you can cover the press monsters for a few minutes? I need to go to the store." Lucas nodded, and I crossed the street and made my way into the store. An elderly lady looked at me and smiled when I walked in. "Hey, dear. You with them press people across the street?" She said, in a thick southern accent. "Yeah, sorry for the uh-intrusion."

"Living room meeting. Now!" Fiona screamed. Gerard, who just entered the scene knew that was his cue to rally everyone up. Sebastian looked at me, holding his hand over his eye, then walked off towards the manor. I jogged towards Beth and sighed. "What the hell did I get myself into?" I whined. "I'm sorry for telling him, that was...uncalled for." I shrugged "Well, since we're already airing out dirty laundry I guess it doesn't matter now. I just fear for what will happen at this so called meeting." When me and Beth walked in through the back door, everyone was in the living room. And I mean everyone. Maria and Daisy, Peter, Gerard who was out of breath from getting everyone together, a few other maids, including Olivia. The Harri

"Okay, so, as you are aware Fiona, William and my cousin Stacy were together long ago for a while. I didn't want to tell anyone that she was my cousin because that would probably make things take a turn for the worst...well more worse than it already is." William was watching Sarah attentively, occasionally looking over at me. Sebastian just had his eyes closed wishing he was anywhere but here. "William toldyouthat they broke up because it wasn't working out. Unfortunately he told Leslie something different. He told Leslie that Stacy died." Fiona gaped her mouth at William. "How could you tell her such a lie like that!?" She snapped. He thought hard for a mo

Two weeks. Two weeks of awkward silences and emotionless encounters. During that time, I didn't even look at William, and the only time I talked to Sarah was to set up Sebastian's schedule. There were a few moments that included Sarah trying to make small talk with me, but I ignored her advances. She was trying to make up for being a bitch these past two months, and it wasn't going to work. I was done trying to make nice with everyone; I was only here for business. As for Sebastian, things couldn't be any more awkward. We had about four meet ups we did, that included two charity events that gained extreme publicity. Darcy sent me a photo of the polls containing the public's opinion on Sebastian, compared from December to now. The results were astonishing. The public was warming up to him at an amazing rate. If we kept this up he could possibly be a person's dream CEO.

We watched them converse for about three minutes. As we waited, I tapped Sebastian on his arm, since I didn't feel like reaching all the way up for his shoulder "When you talk to your father, please be respectful. Show him that this trip has done some good." "Alright. Even though I'd rather drink Vinegar dry, I'll try." I smiled "Thank you." When Fiona and Garret finished talking, Isabella and Elizabeth ran up to Garret and embraced him. William and Patrick walked up after wards and hugged him as well. The happiness in Garret's face was evident as he talked and laughed with his children. He looked around the group of people and stopped once he found Sebastian. Garret grinned, then walked towards him, wrapping his arms around his s

I downed both glasses of champagne once I was inside. About twenty people sat in the living room mingling and wondered why I looked so angry. It was a petty reason, really, but I just hate being embarrassed like that. And most of the times I have been embarrassed have involved Sebastian. Just my luck. I heard laughing coming from the front door, and as it grew louder and louder I recognized it. Sebastian. I stood up and crossed my arms over my chest in irritation. "So you think everything is funny?" I asked. "Oh come on, Leslie she's only seven." He replied. "It doesn't matter if she was seven or seventy, the entire yard was s

"Sebastian, come sit by me." Fiona forcefully patted the seat between her and William. "Um, yeah can you give me like three minutes?" He mumbled, flush-faced. William and the man who sat next to Rachael started to laugh. Fiona was not pleased. "Really, you two?" She said. "Oh, come on, big sis." The man replied. "Rachael is surrounded by this behavior, Ulysses, and you find no problem with it?" Ulysses stayed silent, stroking Rachael's hair lovingly. It was weird knowing that Fiona was his sister. She was much older than him, maybe by thirty years. I assumed that their father probably got with someone much younger and thus Ulysses was born.

** I fucked up. I had never felt so much regret in my entire life. One part of me wanted to hit Sebastian for making everything more complicated, then the other wanted to just kill myself for ruining everything. Here was this man, this man I was in denial about having feelings for, confess his love to me and all I say is "No." No. Why wasn't I running after him though? If I really cared, why was I still standing here, dumb founded. I slumped back in my seat and rested my head in my hands. I was an idiot, and frankly mending this was going to be harder than I thought. My complicated persona just ruined more lives than one, it had seemed. What if he fired me, now? Fired someone else out of anger? What if we could never have the same relationship again? I tried my best to choke down a sob. The sound of the door opening halted my thoughts. My spirits were raised as I thought the person entering the room was Sebastian, yet it wasn't who I expected.

It was the weirdest thing. I had never been so pissed off in my entire life. Over what? Something so petty? How could I let the ginger bitch get under my skin like that? Enough for me to go confront Sebastian myself?Sarah followed me to the ballroom, and knew exactly what I was going to do once she saw the direction I was heading in."I'm...gonna go get another drink with Lucas. Let me know if a bitch needs slappin'."I nodded, watching her walk back to the bar.I exhaled deeply before tapping Sebastian on his shoulder, halting his conversation with someone I didn't recognize."Sebastian, I need to talk to you. Now."His smile fade

"Honestly, this dress makes me look like a fucking idiot." Sarah complained, tugging on the edges as we descended in the elevator. I laughed as the doors opened "You know what that reminds me of?" I said. "What?" "When you and Sebastian first came to Harrison inc and he was complaining about his suit." Sarah thought for a moment before laughing "Oh yeah I remember!" She cleared her throat to be able to imitate Sebastian's masculine voice "I feel stupid in this fucking suit" She mocked. Sarah and I both giggled at the memory. As the elevator doors opened, we walked farther into the lobby to meet up with the two security guards,

My first thought was to push him away, but after a few moments I found myself enjoying the moment even more than he was. His lips were...soft, and warm. Like his hands but of course they didn't feel the same in that way. It was so unexpected that when he did kiss me I froze. It took me a while before...I actually kissed him back. Honestly, there are no words that can actually describe how it felt. It just felt good. The way he held my face in his hands, the way he smelled; like Irish Spring. Hell it felt even more than good it felt amazing. I had never felt a kiss that could compare. Is this what I've been missing out on this entire time?I thought to myself. Then it felt cold again. I opened my eyes to find

"I want to go to New York...tomorrow."I brought my attention from my laptop onto Sebastian, who was leaning on the desk I was seated at.It had been a week since he had left the hospital, and a week since the Harrison's had sorted everything out. It was a breath of fresh air to see everyone getting along. Past grudges were left in the past, and it had felt like the family was new. Garret had gone back to L.A., which reminded us that we only had mere weeks until Sebastian was the CEO.I sat back in my chair and chuckled "Um, tomorrow? That's a little soon; we have it planned a week in advance-"He suddenly pulled a paper from behind his back and slammed it on the desk. He pointed to the title "Skate for a Cause" printed in wh

"Leslie, you're like a...a lifesaver!" Beth said. I laughed, knowing of her over the top nature. I was in the hospital hallway, talking to Beth via cell. She called me asking about Sebastian since Fiona told Aunt Penelope about Sebastian and in turn, told Leonardo. I told her everything, from the fight at the manor to Rachael crying on his shoulder. Beth was more than interested at the story, and even almost cried a few times. "Well, I'm just glad you guys are alright. Such a relief. But in my opinion, I think that they should settle their problems. I mean, their family is over the rocks, now." I sighed. She had a point. They did need to sit down and talk, but I knew Sebastian wouldn't have it. I glanced down the hallway and watched Sebastian pushing Rachael in the wheel chair. The

Lucas and William dragged Sebastian down the stairs to gain access to the back door that led to the alley. Everyone we passed stopped dancing or socializing to look at Sebastian. There was no doubt that this would be news in the next couple of hours. Sam, our driver, was waiting in the alley once we got outside. Sebastian was sweating bullets even though it was at least fifty degrees outside, and his eyes remained closed. "Leslie, sit in the middle row with me so you can support his head." William told me. I didn't question as I got in the car. William sat in the middle, dragging Sebastian in and laying him across us. "Take us to the hospital, Sam!" William yelled. Sam quickly put the car in reverse and backed out of the alley int

Around 8 o'clock, Lucas and Sarah began to look tired; I could see it in their eyes. Eventually, Lucas yawned and stretched his lean arms "Well, I'm out." He said. I waved goodbye to him, only to watch him flop down on my bed and pull my covers over him. "Um, if you have forgotten, that's my bed." I said. "Yeah, but this one is more comfortable." He replied, not even making eye contact with me. I sighed in defeat. Lucas was about a foot taller than me, so there was no way I could get him out of my bed. Even though he was skinny and not as muscular, it would still be a task; I guess I would just sleep on the couch in my room. Sarah, rubbing her eyes, looked tempted to join him. Tiredness took over her, and she got up and slammed al

I walked as fast as my heels would allow me to the living room. The information this seven year old just fed me was too much to handle, and I needed to talk to Sarah about it. Since we both worked for the Harrison's she would know how to handle this."Why are you walking so fast, Leslie?" Rachael asked as she tightened her grip around my hand."Um, nothing I just don't want to miss everyone leaving." I looked at my watch; 5:35 already. Where did the time go? No matter, all that mattered was getting Rachael out of my company before I lost my patience. Unfortunately I didn't have my stress ball in handy to calm my nerves, so I had to get Rachael to Ulysses to settle this.I didn't know why I was so angry. Allegedly a man was in love with me and this is how I reacted? Maybe my past experi
