I love boring...
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It's been half an hour and the coffee is not yet here.
I've never been to this restaurant but it's a lesson to never ever come here. No matter how much I'm starving. The service is terrible and the only thing good about it is that it's not stuffed with customers.
Probably because the people in this town know it's a horrible restaurant with terrible service.
"But atleast they are giving me a little bit time to know more about you, Sugar..."
I giggle. "I keep telling you I'm not interesting. Boring is the word."
"I love boring."
I roll my eyes and sigh. "Fine. I'm just a simple girl that does 9-5 to make sure her bills get paid. That's all. Told you I'm boring."
"What do you do?"
"I'm a HR at The CJ Company."
"The famous entrepreneur? He's made it to Forbes before?" he asks.
I nod. "Yes. That was three years ago when he was listed as The Top 30 Men under 3

"You're sixty minutes late to work."CJ stops dangling with the pencil and clasps his chin. He looks into my eyes, that cocky grin stuck on his handsome face."Give me one valid reason why I shouldn't fire you."Fire!He wants to fire me?How the fuck am I supposed to tell him that my ex-best friend chose today of all days to lock herself up in my bathroom and I had to get a shower at my new neighbour's place.Someone tell me that's a valid reason.But I know he wouldn't believe me anyway."I said give me a valid reason!" he roars standing up from the seat.I jerk back, startled."I... I..." I stutter fumbling for an excuse in my head. "I had to fix my car. It broke down on the way..."CJ moves towards me, his hands dug in his pockets."You are lying."How the fuck did he know?"I know it when you

"I need a leave."CJ looks up at me in disgust."Who the hell let you in my office!""CJ, this is not the time and place for this. Please, I need a leave."He glares at me. "I'm not talking to you with no appointment. Go back. Get an appointment. Come back.""I've waited the whole day to get a chance to talk to you! It's serious, Sir!""Don't call me sir!""Cedric!"For a moment, our eyes bore into each other but he swiftly glances away."Don't call me that either. It's CJ.""Okay CJ! Please I need that leave urgently."CJ clasps his chin, looking at me sternly."You just started working here the other day and you're already asking for a leave!""As I said, it's urgent... Please!" I squeal."What happened?""Something serious.""What?""My friend's husband died."Sympathy flickers in
TRENT I'm the beast you created
The window is broken.Pieces of glass are shattered everywhere on the floor.Broken bottles of whiskey are scattered everywhere and the cushions are torn apart with the table lying upside down on the ground.The house is a complete mess.Seven had just come from a meeting late when he saw the door was wide open. He found that a bit odd since he knew I was away for the funeral. On entering, his eyes almost popped out of his pockets.Seven and Ren are standing behind me, shook by the utter mess of the whole house."You should call the police," Seven suggests."The police?" Ren opposes. "Why call the police? This is clearly a case of burglary.""Exactly the reason you should call the police," Seven insists."The police won't help with anything... Infact, calling them is just a waste of time honestly..."That's Ren."But atleast they'll try and catch w

He has changed so much.Over the three years, he has grown much older.His whole head is gray and so is his beard on his crinkly skin."Why are you back?"That's the first question he asks me the moment I sit opposite him at the coffee table."This was not the agreement."I look at Mr. Jean right in the eye and say, "I didn't want to come back. But I had to."He glares at me."You broke our agreement," he retorts. "I gave you money for you to disappear forever then you come back looking for my son again?""I didn't know he was in this town, I swear!""I might be old but doesn't mean I'm stupid, kiddo. I give you money, you disappear then you come back years later and you go back to working for the same boss, my son. It can't be a coincidence. I know what you
TRENT For You
I look at the watch.It's 9:30pm.It has been three hours since I started working on the project that needs to be presented at the boardroom tomorrow.I know this is all CJ's doing.To punish me.Working for longer hours yet he's not paying me for the extra time.Slowly by slowly, I hate him even more. I know what I did was wrong but he has been a heartless monster ever since I started working here.I'm feeling sleepy as I switch off my computer and stand from my desk, relieved that I finally got the project done. But at the same time, haggard and very exhausted.As I am strolling at the deserted hallway, holding my handbag, CJ appears out of nowhere like the ghost he is.Wait, what the fuck is he still doing at work?He should be gone by now. Atleast everyo
TRENT I want you
I flip the door open.Heaven fakes a wide grin."Aren't you going to let me in?""What do you want?" I ask flatly."I want us to talk," she says sharply. "Woman to Woman."I am hesitant for a moment then I let the door wide open."Make it fast."I escort her to the sofa and watch as she sinks in it."Mmh, nice sofa."I cross my arms against my chest, still standing."Please get to the point."She looks at me blankly. "It's about CJ."Obviously.Heaven continues. "I know everything. About you and him. About your wedding. About you standing him up at the altar. He didn't tell me. I dug that shit up on my own," she pauses and looks me up and down.She resumes. "I'm not here for a catfight or any sort of confrontation. I'm here to have a nice talk with you. And beg you to stay away from him. You had him. Now it's my turn to have him."I'm shook by her bluntnes
TRENT Because you're cool naturally
I can't find the strength to move.I fall on my knees and break down.I burst out in an ocean of tears, messing my whole face up with mascara and wet foundation.I'm more than terrified. Could this be him? Has he finally found me? But how? This just couldn't be him... There's no way he has found me...Oh right!I will tear you apart...The words ring so loudly in my head.Ofcourse!CJ!This is all his evil doing!First, he broke into my house and now he has smashed my new car. I know it's him. I'm sure it's him. He's enjoying doing this to me... Torturing me...Someone engulfs me in their arms and lifts me up.Those warm muscular arms.Seven.."What the hell!" he gasps. "Who the hell did that!"I don't respond instead I just look at him, wondering who to pin this on blindly. Because maybe it's not my boss that's doing all this?"Your fucking boss!" he freaks out.
TRENT Still love chicken?
CJ is staring sharply at Seven.A cocky grin on his face.Heaven is staring intently at me.And I, well, my eyes are playing ping-pong on everyone at the table.There is a lot of tension between us.The tension lowers a bit when the drinks are brought."So, this is your boyfriend?" CJ looks at Seven scornfully."Yes, I'm her boyfriend. Who the fuck are you?"CJ smirks. "Ask her."Seven looks at me."He's my boss," I respond.Seven is a bit surprised then he goes silent, in lack of words."Why have you gone silent? I bet you've heard a lot about me..."Seven frowns and grits his teeth, clenching his fist under the table."So, he's the reason you didn't come to work at all?"The rude question is directed to me but he's staring at Seven.Seven smirks at him. "What choice did you leave her after you smashed her car you coward!"CJ smirks at Seven and I. "I c

TRENT Epilogue
CJ'S POVTearing Terra?What does that Even mean?Tearing Terra?To tear her apart is like tearing me apart. When she's hurt, I hurt. When her heart breaks, mine does too. Even when I tried so hard to torture her and cause her pain, at the end of the day, I would feel so bad about myself and completely drained. I would lie asleep at night, thinking about her and that would tear me apart.Tearing her apart tore me apart too.In short, I was not able to tear her apart like I had previously planned.I tried so hard to tear her apart but I was not able to.I wanted to stay away from her. See her suffer from a distance but I couldn't do that as well. I couldn't fucking stay away from her because I wanted to kiss her. Caress her. Tell her I had missed her. And it was so hard for me because I saw her on a daily... Saw that beautiful hair being flipped at meetings... That perfect sweet mouth curving up a happy smile at lunch... T
TRENT Please forgive me
Three months laterCJ is gone.Everyday I wake up, I'm reminded of that.I don't wake up with him beside me anymore.It's honestly sad, gloomy and boring without him here.It's cold mornings like this that I wish he was here, lying next to me. Holding me so tight that I felt his warmth. I wouldn't be feeling this cold because we'd make some intense hot love that would leave us burning. That would force us to head to the shower to kill things off... In each other's arms.I miss him...Everyday, I miss him.I drag myself out of bed and head to the kitchen. I sit down to my cup of hot coffee, looking out the kitchen window. Morning mist, thick as smoke.It's going to be a long boring day.No plans whatsoever.It's
TRENT Don't you dare touch me!
"Don't tell me to calm down!"I yell at CJ.We just got back to town and everyone is acting okay and cool. Because it's not their only sister that has been kidnapped by the most dangerous serial killer I know.Their only sister that's pregnant.While I was having the time of my life, my sister was in suffering in the hands of the devil himself. That breaks my heart into pieces."Terra," Dee who just came in some few minutes ago says. "It has not been confirmed that it's Roman who kidnapped her..."I laugh sarcastically and bitterly. "Oh wow! That makes a lot of sense! I think she got lost on her way to the mall, don't you think?"Ren intrudes. "Terra, I think you have to relax-""Relax!" I scream. "Relax? My sister is in the hands of that evil monster and you're telling me to relax! How can I fucking relax! Who knows what the hell he's doing to her! Lord!"I fal

TRENT Good in the kitchen
"Shit Eli! You scared us!"CJ and I are in a towel as we stare at both Eli and Zara from upstairs as they are downstairs."Biiiiiiiiiiiitch!" Zara shrieks. "So this' whatchu' been upto after some jail time! Lookatchu' being naughty!"I roll my eyes at her, concealing just how excited I am that she and Eli are here.It's going to be so much fun.The perfect way to escape from all the negativity and toxicity. I was drowning with everything that was going on. A part of me died slowly day by day.But this... This will be the perfect therapy.An old beach house with the man I love and two close friends.The perfect combo!Eli tosses himself on the couch as CJ resumes to the master bedroom that we slept in."Zara? Can you please come up?"I borrow a dress since I didn't carry any clothes. A few minutes later, I step out of my room with my hand in C
TRENT Just Us!
I knew this moment would come.But I swear to heavens, I was not prepared for it. I was not prepared to explain myself. I don't know if the answers I got are the right answers or if they are answers at all.I open my mouth to say something then I quickly shut up, careful with every word I'll say."Honestly, Cedric... I can blame it on a lot of things but they all come down to me. To my selfishness. It was me..."I take a deep breathe and continue."When I eloped to Russia, I did therapy because I couldn't live with what I had done to you. I had nightmares. I drank myself to sleep. Bars were my favorite spots. But therapy kind of helped me deal with what I had done in a positive manner and learn to live with myself."I swallow hard, nostalgic about those pretty dark days of my life." And through therapy, I learnt some things I didn't know about myself. I had severe anxiety. It's something I had lived with, yet didn't know
TRENT I'm sorry!
The sun is low on the sky when CJ opens the cab door for me.I step out into a stone circular driveway in front of a mansion and I look around blindly In awe.The view of the mansion in front of us is breathtaking. The house sits on a cliff above the ocean and the low sun sets the waves on fire.CJ leads me around the house, his bag on one hand as he holds my hand with the other. We walk along the edge of a large blue pool and towards a furnished pool house.At the doorstep, is a large porcelain pot. CJ bends it over and takes a key under.CJ opens the door and I step inside to an old classic living room with artistic old paintings on the cream walls and one-armed sofas with hundreds of pillows. The table in the middle is wooden and seems like an expensive old furniture that has seen the best of years.Underneath the sofas, lays a Persian rug and just in front of the decor, sits a huge fireplace.&nbs
TRENT That man is not me!
Present day..."He killed his friend?"I nod my head sadly. "Then he forced me to clean up for him and drag the body to the basement."Honestly, that was it for me.I didn't care if he threatened me anymore.I had to leave him. And leave him right away.If he could kill Oscar that quick within a snap of a finger just because of some argument, I wonder what he'd do to me?There's no way I'd sit and wait to see what he'd do to me... I had to leave!"So you stole his packaged drugs and sold them?" asks CJ."Yes, to a guy he despiced. Osborne. Some rich tycoon and I sold it at a very cheap price because I needed to fly away..."CJ looks at me in worry. "It must have been hard for you...""Yes... Especially because I had to stay in h
