Chapter 17: Photoshoots & Confusing
-
Darius sat in the car listening to Amoy as she explained their schedule for today. "The photoshoot may last 2 or 3 hours after that we'll be doing a magazine interview where you'll be explaining that you and Emerald are just friends." She told him while answering her phone."Hello? I'm going to the shoot right now. Bob push the meeting back 6 hours. Alright, then we'll do it tomorrow." He watched as she spoke, he loved how she worked hard for what she wanted, he admired how she never lets anyone stop her from achieving her goals.
"We're here, I'll talk to you later, bye." She hung up, putting her phone back in her pants just as the car came to a stop. She turned to him, her eyes said everything 'Don't mess this up' They both exited the car going to the entrance of the building.
He opened the door for her, she mumbled a thank you before stepping inside. Just as they were about to go up to

He asked to which she shrugged. "Do you want to order the same thing?" He grinned softly realizing she was nervous, "Sure." "How are you?" She asked earning a small laugh from him, she raised her eyebrow. "What?" "I thought we were past the 'how are yous'." She smiled, he wondered if she knew how goddamn beautiful she looked when she smiled. "Then how do you suppose we start a conversation?" "Like this, what is your favourite colour?" "Aren't those questions you ask on a date?" She inquired meeting his eyes. "Maybe." The way they were looking at each other was intense, many different emotions swirling in their eyes but both held the same ones. Infatuation, admiration, Curiosity and Fear. "Answer the question." She cleared her throat.

- Chapter 19: Good & Morning - Darius laid in his bed replaying the kiss over and over like a lovesick teenager. He just couldn't believe she had kissed him, he felt happy but also nervous, he knew Amoy had a tendency to ignore him whenever something big happened between them. He heard her room door close which made his heartbeat triple its normal rate. Darius got up from his bed opening his door just as she was walking past it, their eyes immediately met, the kiss running through both minds, his eyes moved to her lips wishing to feel them on his once again. Amoy swallowed visibly she could never think straight when he was around as her mind was clouded with her emotions. "Good morning." She found herself saying with a forced smile, he frowned slightly knowing her smile was fake. He then began overthinking, was she regretting everything? Did she not like the kiss? "Good morning, are you going down for breakfast?" She nods continuin

- Chapter 20: Darius & Confidence - When Darius woke up, it wasn't because of an alarm or Xavier. It was Amoy, "Wake up, you need to get ready we can't be late." He sighed opening his eyes, he expected to meet her chocolate ones but instead, all he saw was her back as she sat on his bed slipping her feet into her heels. Her natural hair was hidden under her bonnet since she didn't want it to get messed up before she left for work. She wore a navy blue dress, along with a jacket that was slightly lighter than it. Her significant scent was stronger as she was just inches away from him. Even though he could only see her back, he could tell she looked amazing. "Get up, you have 20 minutes to get dress and eat breakfast." She informed him rising from the bed, turning to him as he got up, her eyes immediately took in his body while he stood, half-naked in front of her. "Ok?" She questioned taking her eyes off his body despite the urge she felt t

She asked him walking back to her chair taking a seat. "I was going to walk you to your first meeting since I'll be there too." Darius couldn't tell if that was the truth or a clever lie to cover up what he really came here for. "No need, Darius will walk me." She told him wanting this conversation to be over fast, she could tell Darius wanted the same as he was shooting daggers at Zane which made her wonder, was he jealous? She quickly shook that thought away turning back to Zane. "Is that all?" She asked, he nodded not saying another word before he left. "I thought the meeting didn't start in a few hours," Darius stated, con

Oscar voiced. Faith shook her head disagreeing. "She'll be the reason he uses the information I gave him. Her family treats them both like nothing so not only will he want to protect himself, he'll want to protect her." Her husband grinned at her, loving her she thought. "You are amazing." He stated placing a quick kiss on her cheek. "Now all we need to do is wait for their next family gathering, which, lucky for us is 2 days from now." - Darius sat in Amoy's office drained from all the meetings he had to attend, Amoy on the other hand looked perfectly fine as she was still working. "I don't know how you do this every day." He spoke, taking her attention from the laptop and papers in front of her.

After the kitchen incident, they had both parted ways but Amoy had never left his mind. She was like a hangover after a party. He had already showered and gotten dressed but he still needed to go down for breakfast the task seemed almost impossible as his mind made up a thousand scenarios, before he could think about it further his phone began to hang. Darius took it from the bedside table reading the I.D caller, 'Emerald' He hadn't heard from her in days, he was a little worried but he knew she was alright and the call confirmed it. “Emerald, how are you?” He asked sitting up, on his bed

He had promised himself that today was the day he was gonna finally put his hands and mind to work and write something good that he could be proud of, even though it wouldn't be his best work, it would be something to remember. Closing his eyes thought of every possible line he could begin with, but they all just didn’t seem to be enough. He sighed, hearing a knock on his door, he expected to see Xavier, but instead, Amoy entered his room, with a tray with dinner on it. “This is the last thing I expected you’d be doing,” Darius stated as she placed the tray on his

Who told you this?” Amoy interrogated her father, he didn’t seem to mind as he spoke. “Shawn, the butler.” “So the men will be tested for 4 days?” He nodded, catching Darius’s attention, “What’s goin

Do you think the news will blow over?” He shrugged letting out a sigh. “I’m not sure. Maybe.” The uncertainty in his voice told me this would probably go on for weeks. “Did you make breakfast? She hasn’t eaten all day.” He shook his head. “I was just about to go out and meet a friend, but I can—” I stopped him as I offered him a smile.

This was probably the first time I’ve seen her so relaxed besides last night. I reached for my phone to check the time. It was 7 AM, shocking me. Amoy was usually up before 5 or 6, I wondered how long she stayed out on the balcony. I slowly and quietly removed her hands off me, replacing my body with a pillow before going into the bathroom, taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I was in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes

- Chapter 26: Favour & Tip - Darius's P.O.V Dinner went on without a hitch, I was a little surprised Elizabeth hadn't tried to insult me or Amoy. Maybe the discovery of her most prized grandchild's company going bankrupt left her more flush than she was willing to admit. I silently watched as everyone gathered around the piano watching Olivia play a sweet melody. She was also another one of Amoy's competitors, I only knew so little of her, though her parents, Joseph and Kayla never stopped bragging about her fashion business. They said she dressed celebrities like Rihanna and Taylor. I had to admit though I barely spoke to her, she seemed down to earth and friendly, I mean in this family someone who didn't speak to you was as friendly as you could get. My eyes went to the rest of my wife's competition. Zavana stood next to O
