Chapter 54 Janet “I knocked on Anna’s bedroom door. There was no answer, but I went in anyway. Anna was sitting up in bed, staring at her phone. She didn’t look up as I came in “Hey,” I said. She looked at me. “ It’s still trending.” She said sadly. I took the phone from her. “Stop looking at social media. It will only make you miserable. Whatever they think is their headache.” I switched off the phone. “Everyone is taking about it.” She began crying. “So? Who cares. They are no angels. Stop crying, pull yourself together. Here, I brought you this, they are your favorite.” I handed her the box of chocolate. But she stared at them. I was worried. Anna was never too upset to eat chocolates. “Listen Anna you have to pull yourself together, not falling apart. Success is the best revenge.” “I know you think this is karma right?” She asked. “No I don’t. I think we both got played by an asshole.” “I really loved him. I thought he loved me.” “He didn’t, and he ca
Chapter 55 Janet “What the hell are you doing here?” Kevin demanded. “Jason, I thought you were in New York?” I asked. “I am just getting back, see.” He pointed to the traveling bag he was holding. “You should have stayed in New York.” Kevin said annoyed. “Then I would have missed this hot moment.” He grinned. “Besides, I have an interview here on Monday. Looking hot Janet, very hot.” “Thanks.” I said. “Well we better-“ “You guys here for the governor’s party?” He asked. “None of your damn business.” Kevin snapped. “Why? I want to join the party.” “Were you invited? It’s an invite only party.” I told him. “I will find a way, I love a good party. You remember how we use to party, right Kevin?” “Get out of here.” Kevin clenched his fists “Of my hotel?” He laughed. “I’m staying for the party. Any chance of rubbing our bodies on the dance floor Jan?” He asked. “Shut up.” Kevin took a step towards him. “Cut it out you two.” I said annoyed. “Let’s go Kevin
Chapter 56 Kevin “Move in with you?” She asked, staring at the key inside the box. I nodded. “ It’s a spare key to my place. I want us to live together. I am tired of only seeing you sometimes. I want to wake up to your beautiful face every day?” “I don’t know what to say?” She said. “Say yes.” “I don’t know Kevin, would living together be a good idea?” “Sure! You will cook my meals, do my laundry, clean my house-“ She punched me in the chest and I laughed. “Seriously I think the time is right to live together.” I said. “It is kind of sudden. I love staying home, with dad and Fran and Anna too.” “More than with me?” I asked softly. “No, I would love to live with you but, I don’t know.” “Take the key and think about it, please.” “Alright I will.” She picked up the key and put it in her purse. “You have 24 hrs.” I told her. She punched me again and we both laughed. She looked so beautiful I couldn’t resist. I moved towards her and kissed her, she resp
Chapter 57 Janet It was nearly 1am before I got home. Fran was waiting up for me. “Sorry I kept you up late.” I apologized. “It’s okay. I can see from your blush you enjoyed yourself?” I laughed gently. “ I did. Dad and Lois are back?” “Yeah they came in nearly an hour ago, they are in bed, and it’s time for you to go too. Good night.” “Good night Fran.” I went to my room and quickly changed into my night gown, then lay down, dreaming of Kevin’s touch and his hot kisses all over my body. I was in love with him. I couldn’t deny it. I hadn’t loved Tony or even Evan, the way I loved Kevin. He set my body on fire with just his touch. But would I feel the same way living with him. What would living with him be like? I looked at my finger. My engagement ring shone. It had started out as fake but was now all too real. But moving in with him, wasn’t it too sudden? I was awake half the night, thinking about it. When I finally slept off, I didn’t even hear my alarm ri
Chapter 58 Janet “So what will it be?” He asked me. We stared at each other. I itched to slap the smirk off his face, but I remembered what I had told my dad about self control. I had to practice what I’d preached. The company reputation was more important than my hatred of this asshole. Still glaring at him, I slowly sat down. “I thought so.” He sat down across me. “I don’t know why you are surprised, weren’t you expecting me?” I wasn’t. I knew a representative of Sands Ltd was coming, but after the last time he’d come here, and the way I had treated him yesterday, I thought he would have asked to be replaced. But no, here he was annoying me. “You sure are looking good babe.” He grinned. “Say what you have to say and get going. I am very busy.” He laughed. “I knew you wouldn’t let your personal feelings get in the way of business. You were always a professional, that’s one of the things I love about you, aside being a great kisser.” “Stick to the business that bro
Chapter 59 Janet “Tony,” she said. I felt sorry for her, seeing her eyes brighten on seeing the jackass, then narrowed as they dropped to the empty cardboard boxes and soda cans on my desk. “What is going on here?” She asked suspiciously. “None of your business.” He said, glaring at her disdainfully. “Tony and I were just finishing a meeting and he is just leaving.” I said firmly. “Meeting? What meeting?” She asked. “He is a rep of Sands Ltd.” I grimaced. Anna turned pale. “ Since when?” “Since forever, not that it is any of your business.” Tony said scornfully. “Please Tony, we need to talk.” Anna pleaded. “Talk to my lawyer.” He snapped. “Like Jan said, I am on my way out. See you Jan.” Tony pushed past her and left. She stood for a second, then hurried after him. “Anna!” I called. I sighed and dropped into my chair. I hated the fact Anna was acting so desperate for a jerk who didn’t give a damn about her. She was going to end up hurting herself even mo
Chapter 60Janet“Hmm…this is delicious.” I said as I finished the last of the meal. It had been exotic and delicious. The candles making the whole thing very romantic.We sat side by side on the couch, sipping wine. “Hmm… you sure know how to spoil a girl.” I giggled.“No, only this girl.” He smiled.“Let’s do this every day.” I said snuggling next to him.“Your wish is my command.” He said. “I love this, where did you get the idea?”“I dreamed it up. I’ve dreamed up so many things I want to do for you. Funny enough, I have never been this creative with any other girl.”“And why is that?”“Because I have never loved any girl the way I love you.” “I love you too.”“So it’s a yes?” He asked hopefully.“Can I think about it a little more?”“If you have to, but I am sure stage three will change your mind.”I laughed. “ What could be better than this?”“You will know by tomorrow evening.”“I can’t wait.”He poured the last of the wine.“I have dated two men and they were
Chapter 61 Janet Now I had made up my mind to move in with Kevin, I couldn’t wait to tell him. But it won’t be over the phone. I wanted it to be face to face, preferably over lunch or dinner. I was awake before dawn but lay dreaming of what life with him would be like. Here Fran looked after me, with Kevin, would I have to do chores, or would he? Or would the chores be shared? I grimaced. Kevin didn’t look to me like he could do even the basic chores. He once told me a cleaning agency sent an employee over every week to clean his place, and he ate out most of the time. Would we still keep that arrangement if we lived together? The thought of suddenly being domesticated excited and scared me. Another thing that scared me was telling my family I was moving out. Dad would be sad, but he won’t stop me if he knew it was something I really wanted to do. Lois would be happy to see me go, but I worried how Anna would react. I didn’t want to rub my happy relationship in her face.
