JULIE“I thought you had already accepted during the meeting. What brought about the change of heart here?” He was puzzled.“Adam, Adam, Adam. I honestly have no words for you”“You feel I’d make you indebted to me because of this?”“Well, the jokes write themselves. See, I really don’t get why you’re trying so hard to act like a good guy now. Acting like you give a shit about what happens in my life” I sat up.“If it ain’t obvious yet. I do care. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t ask to take care of his bills” He defended.“Oh wow. That’s a whole new level. The almighty Adam Jones cares for someone else. I must be lost somewhere. Can someone hit me back to reality, please?” I said sarcastically.“Julie, you can stop this drama you’re trying so hard to put up. It doesn’t appeal to me” He complained.“And who the fuck cares if it appeals to you? Do you think I’m here to gobble on your cock as I used to before? If you can’t stand the heat, you leave the fucking kitchen, Adam. In this case, my off
JULIEThe events of the past few days made me crave peace. I looked forward to taking a time off the whole chaos; Being away from Adam and Samantha's shenanigans.It finally came- The weekend. Adam Jones was kind enough not to make us work on weekends too. I'd boldly say that was the only commendable thing about him. It changes nothing though. He's an arsehole, regardless. Sundays were my favorite days of the week. I feel the creator specifically designed it just to show off that he was a Gem.I got to relax and ease myself of the week's stress. No random persons knocking on my door asking for a file or two. No annoying blaring of horns from outside the office or Samantha's heels clacking all around the office. It was just me, Bryan and my peace of mind.As usual, I was at home that day, watching my favorite TV show "Roses and Blood". I fell in love with the show when I moved to Birmingham and I had never looked back since then. I was addicted to it.The main character of the show,
JULIE"You always know it's nice to see you, Max" I hit him on the arm and made for the hug.Max looked different that morning. He always looked charming in his corporate look at work, but there was something extra about him that morning. His cologne filled the air as I admired his perfectly chiseled upper body, which was given away by the body hugging T-shirt he was on."So, what brings you to my place this morning?" I started."I really don't understand what you Birmingham women were taught. You didn't even care to offer me a place to seat" He rolled his eyes sarcastically."Oh, my bad! Kindly make yourself comfortable, his Supreme majesty" I returned the joke.He made himself comfortable on the couch close to the door and continued."I was actually around to see an aunt, so I decided to check in here since I didn't have much to do today" He explained."Oh, your aunt stays around here?" I quizzed."Nah. Not really close, but just a short distance from here""But I don't get, I've n
JULIEHe was the kind of man I wanted Bryan to look up to. The kid also saw him as his hero."Uncle Max, what's it made of?" Bryan asked curiously, staring at the smoothie."There are fruits in it. A lot of different fruits you'd love. Just have a sip and you'll see how nice it is" He assured him."I love fruits. I love bananas and strawberries" He displayed his dentition."That's just beautiful. Trust me, you will enjoy this. No run along and go play with the soldiers. Be careful!" He concluded as he discharged Bryan.I watched as he danced gleefully to his room. I was really glad Max was just right in time to correct the mess I made. Otherwise, I would have had a disgruntled Bryan all day long."He really likes you, you know?" I started."It's obvious he's way too fond of you. I mean, he didn't bother to reply when I called him, but immediately he heard your voice, he almost ran crazy" "Yeah, I noticed too. The thing is, Bryan is a very amazing kid. He reminds me so much of my youn
ADAM"I can't wait to shove our new products on Carl's face. By the time these outfits are out, He would come to respect my genius" I soliloquized, while scrolling through Twitter.CARL- My archrival. We have been sworn enemies for over 10 years. But it wasn't always like that.We were close friends from highschool. Always did things together and as a pair. We would usually sit during lunch at the cafeteria, talking about how we'd go ahead to build multi-billion euros business empires once we're done with college.Unlike me, Carl didn't come from an overly wealthy home, but his parents were doing just fine.He wasn't satisfied with being just fine. Carl wanted more and that was why he kept coming up with crazy business ideas and throwing them on my face back then.His first big idea was the automobiles, but he lacked the funds to push that dream. We had to let the idea die, because it wasn't feasible for highschool leavers to bring to reality.A year into college, we started up a bar
ADAM"You no longer treat me the way you used to. Did I...Did I do something?" She asked.Samantha wasn't always the mean, trouble-loving person. I couldn't say what exactly made her turn out that way, but I was damn sure she was not the same girl I was head over heels for years ago.We used to do everything together then. She was my confidant at work and she always knew the right things to tell me whenever I seemed confused.Her closeness to me earned her respect, which turned to disdain, in the office."Now, you don't even want to give me an answer. Adam!" She drew closer."I can hear you just clearly, Samantha" "Then, why do you keep mute? Don't I matter to you anymore?" "You do, Samantha. If you don't, You won't be working for me""Oh, Please! Who's talking about work here? Adam, we used to be the power couple. I was your everything. You couldn't do without me. You told me this yourself" She flared, then calmed down."What changed, Adam?" She asked."Nothing changed, Samantha. N
JULIE"We don't always get what we deserve"Life doesn't always give us what we yearn for. That's one sad realization I've come to agreement with. The crazier part? We can't do anything about it, but take it in good fate.The awkward situation with Max the other Sunday, got me overthinking a lot. I should have handled the issue better, instead of outrightly telling him off like he meant nothing."Was I too mean?""Did I really have to call him just a Friend?""He's far too sweet to Bryan and I think I was really unfair to him, considering that he meant no harm"All sorts of thoughts moved in and out of my head. I felt really bad for giving him those signals and crushing his heart. All he wanted was just to see me happy, but I just saw him as nothing but a friend. Maybe I'm just a bad person. I wondered if things would ever go back to normal between the both of us. Before that day, Max usually dropped by my office almost everyday. We'd crack jokes, tell each stories, gossip about the
ADAMThe rich need some time off too. Like Samantha said the last time, I had been immersed so deeply in work that I forget to take care of myself.It was obvious the work stress had gotten to me. I had every right to take a leave or even a vacation, but I wasn't used to that life of letting my staff do everything. What if something went wrong in my absence? I mean, I trust their competence, but what if they decide to mess up that one time I'm gone? Not taking any chances at all."What really happened to you, Adam? All you do is work work work. You no longer have time for fun stuff" I told myself that Saturday morning.I was right. I led a boring life recently. I no longer partied hard or slept around with girls. It's been centuries since I last took some shots of vodka."It ends today, Adam. I need to live! I have earned this"I took a shower and drove off to the only place I found peace in such situations- Zedd's place.Zedd owner a bar that had been around for over 8 years. It w
ADAMI got Max and Samantha fired the next morning without thinking twice about it. Unlike Max that tried to make an appeal, Samantha was very proud of the act and showed no remorse about it. I sent them both away and threatened to get them arrested if I ever saw them around the company.The past weeks had been a roller coaster for me. First, it was me thinking Julie had betrayed me, and sending her away. Then, it was Max, someone I regarded as one of my closest friends.I wasn’t surprised about Samantha being the mastermind of it. She hated Julie with everything in her and never failed to show it at the slightest chance she got. But, Max? He was way too close to Julie; her closest friend in the office. I never expected such from him.I didn’t know how to approach Julie with everything that had happened the past days. I mean, I sent her away for the second time without even hearing her out. That was so cruel of me.I tried calling her, but her line wasn’t reachable. I had to go see he
ADAM“I have no intentions of hurting you, Adam”When Julie came back, I did nothing but take her in with good cheer. I never knew all along, the plan was to get back at me because of what happened between us six years ago.I spent days brooding over what the one person I loved so much did to me. The betrayal pierced so deep into my heart that I couldn’t get over it. I tried so hard not to believe it was true. I so wanted to to be all a joke or prank.With how innocent she looked, one would hardly suspect she had such an evil intention towards me.I mean, we already bonded so deeply and I was planning on moving her and Bryan to a more befitting apartment close to me, until she was mentally ready to move in fully with me.My major worry was Bryan. It had been over two weeks Julie left and I couldn’t reach her again. A part of me strongly doubted if Bryan was really my son like she said, or if it was all part of her lies to get closer to me, to execute what she had in mind all along.I
JULIE“You have broken the trust I had for you, Julie. Goodbye”Adam’s word kept ringing in my head as the days went by. I tried but just couldn't get over it.I tried to recall everything that happened that fateful day. It was just so fast and scripted perfectly that I didn’t even have the chance to think about what was happening around me.Adam didn’t give me a listening ear either. It was like he was under a spell or hypnosis. The evidence was there; it was their world against mine. I was unknowingly with an official document of the company, which shouldn’t even be in my possession in the first place.I wasn’t given the chance to explain myself, which made me disappointed in Adam. I was sure he thought of me as evil and didn’t want anything to do with me again,The look of betrayal on his face said it all and it took a lot of self-control from him not to get me arrested at that point. Rather, he sent me away again.“Who could have been behind this?” I asked myself.Only Samantha ca
JULIEIt had been two months since things got completely rosy between Adam and I. Two months since he finally introduced himself to Bryan as his father.Things have been going so smoothly ever since. I usually sent Bryan off to his place to go spend some weekends. Sometimes, at Adam’s request, others, just because I wanted to have some “Me” time without Bryan’s problems.Soon, we came to an agreement that Bryan would be spending the weekends at his place, when Adam would be free enough to relate well with him. I also went over to see him when I could and he never failed to have sex with me whenever I was at his place.Things were finally back to normal, as I always wished for. Everything seemed to be going well. Samantha no longer threw herself at Adam. Seemed she had swallowed the bitter pill at last.I was supposed to meet with Max and a certain client at a hotel lounge, with a sealed document Max gave to me the previous day at the office. According to him, the document was for a bu
ADAMIt had been a week since father visited me in my office, seeking to be in the know of what was happening between Samantha and I. He left the office in utter shock after I had told him I had a baby child with Julie.All those years, just like me, he thought that Julie got rid of the pregnancy like I had commanded her to. He had nothing else to do at that point; there was no other way he could help Samantha talk to me, because my mind was already made up.As soon as I got to work the next day, I angrily sped off to Samantha’s office to confront her about what just happened.“How dare you try to involve my father in my personal life? What gave you the guts to do that?!” I thundered at her.She fidgeted, as she had never seen me in such mood before. She tried to calm me, but I wasn’t having any of that.It wasn’t enough that she kept on forcing herself on me, she also had to drag my dad into something he had no business with. That was way out of line.“I know everything. He told me.
ADAMIt had been a week since I had the most mind-blowing sex in a while. A week since I got to spend quality time with the woman I loved dearly. Also a week since Julie told me that Bryan was my seed- a result of one of the numerous sex we had when we were still together six years ago.The news was the best thing my ears ever heard in years. Not even the launch of the fashion brand could rival the joy the knowledge of Bryan being my son, brought me.Everything seemed brand new to me ever since I got the news. I smiled more as my happiness knew no bounds.For so long, I always imagined what it would be like, having my own son, whom I’d give everything he ever wanted. The fact that Bryan was one smart kid, warmed my heart the more.“He’ll go on vacations in any country of his choice” I thought to myself.“I think I should get him a car and a driver who would be taking him anywhere he wants to go to” I thought again.“No, that would be too much” I disputed.“Nah! Nothing is ever too m
JULIEI just had the best sex of my life and instead of feeling used and disgusted at myself, I felt satisfaction like never before. Prior to that day, I never realized how much I needed the orgasm that came from a session of intense sex.It was as as if my whole body had a total revamp; like every organ got changed and became brand new. I had goosebumps all over me for a long time as I laid on the bed with Adam.My legs were still feeling shaky from the climax it just went through and my pussy felt sore. I didn’t care. I had gotten the satisfaction I needed and I was open to more, regardless of how tired I was.I never planned to have sex with Adam. It was never my intentions to get intimate with him. The plan was to go to the wedding with him, spend some time, dance, then get home to have my rest. But the incident with Max which changed my mood, got me craving something to ease myself of the mood swing and sex was just the perfect fit to my puzzle.Adam, on the other hand, panted he
JULIEThe ride back to Adam’s place was a calm one. As I sat next to him at the passenger seat, I couldn’t help but have a feeling of relaxation all over me. Just like at the wedding, a soft melodic romantic song was drifting from the car speakers and this made the atmosphere even more serene.He stared down at me and touched my face calmly, while I snuggled up into his warm embrace. With his arms around me, I felt nothing but safe.Justin was focused on his driving and constant humming to the music. It was like the classic romance movies I grew up watching, only that this time, I was the main character in it.“How are you feeling now?” Adam’s deep sensual voice calmly pierced into my ears.“I’m feeling a bit better. If we could stay in this position longer, I might feel completely better” I said and giggled.“You are permitted to stay for a long as you want” He rubbed my shoulders with his palms.“I’m sorry I had to make you leave the wedding earlier” I apologized.“It’s fine, Julie.
JULIE“Hi, Max” I managed to say.I looked at him and looked away almost immediately. I was so ashamed to look at Max for long. He faked a smile, but I knew that deep down, the smile meant nothing but the feeling of being betrayed and disgust for me.Adam stared at me as I acted weird. I was sure he expected me to be all happy seeing Max, but my countenance was just the direct opposite.“Is everything okay? You both are acting very awkward right now, like you just saw a ghost. Or, did you?” Adam asked, looking around in search of the presumed ghost.“Hahaha! I’m sure she’s just too tired, or maybe she never expected to see me here” Max responded, still smiling at me.As his smile grew wide, all I could see was a broken man, masking it with laughter. I had to cheer up to avoid any further interrogations from Adam.“Yeah. That might be the reason, I guess” Adam nudged my shoulder.“I never knew you’d be coming along with her, though. I expected you’d be here alone” Max continued.“Well…
