Are you alright," the man from table one asked.

"I'm fine. How did you know I was out here?"

"I didn't. I thought I scared you asking for your number so I was coming to apologize. I'm glad I came now."

"Yeah, me too."

"So, what was your name again?"

"Elena."

"Well Elena. I promise I am not a stalker. Can I walk you home so I know you won't be attacked again?"

"I'm sure I can walk home alone. But thank you for your offer."

"How about this. I have a personal driver that will give you a ride. I am staying at a hotel across the street so I won't need him."

"I will be fine."

"At least do it for me saving you."

"....Fine"

"He is right out front," he said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the front.

I quickly freed my hand and walked beside him.

"Here you go. Just tell Lucas where to go."

He opened the door and let me in.

"Thank you," I told him as he shut the door. He waved while Lucas pulled away.

I told him where I needed to go.

"Excuse me. But can you tell me what his name was? He never mentioned it."

"Ma'am, you mean you do not recognize him?"

"No, I can honestly say I haven't."

"That Brian Mathews, the CEO of NC Records."

"I have never heard of him."

"He was voted America's hottest male of 2015 and owns a couple of hotels in the area."

12

I didn't say anything else to Lucas. He pulled up to my apartment. I opened the door, thanked him, and went upstairs.

...............

"Thank you for watching him, Mrs. Smith."

"He is delightful! I love Kade. He reminds me of my grandchildren."

Mrs. Smith's grandchildren lived in California. We lived in North Carolina so she never had the opportunity to see them.

"Bye, Mrs. Smith." 

"Elena! Elena! Look what I did."

I looked over at Kade and seen him covered in flour.

"We were making cookies and she left to talk to you so I finished them."

"Kade, you made a mess."

"No, I made cookies." 33

............

I gave Kade a bath and put him to sleep.

I took a quick shower when I got out I heard up the phone.

"Hello," I asked speaking into the phone.

"Elena?"

"Who is this?"

"Oh sorry. This is Brian."

"Who?"

"Oh I am the man from the diner."

"How did you get my number?!"

"I asked one of the girls that was covering for you."

I mentally told myself to kill Jenny the next day I have work. 1

"Well I was wondering if I could take you out sometime?"

"I'm not interested." 4

I quickly hung up and went to my bed.

I wouldn't fit in with someone like him.

........

Today was Saturday. My day off. Mrs. Smith came by and took Kade to the park so I was alone. I walked to the library to see what all I could find out about my new admirer. I decided I wanted to know more about Brian Mathews.

I opened up G****e, searched "Brian Matthews", and clicked on the first site.

"Brian Matthews is 20 year old with a bright future. Not only is he an upcoming CEO but he was voted America's hottest male of 2015. Brian's father is falling ill and he must take over the company. He is currently running his father's newest company in North Carolina. Brian spends thousands of dollars in charities around the globe. He also owns several hotels. He is doing a lot at the young age of 20."

"Why hasn't anyone in this town recognized you?" I thought to myself.

    I decided to walk down the street to the park to watch Kade."Ophf." I said as I fell to the ground.1"I am so sorry. I should watch where I am walking," I told the person I ran into."Elena, we really should stop meeting like this"I looked up and there was Brian Matthews."I would rather we not meet again at all. Now if you will excuse me," I quickly walked around him.3"Now Elena, I know you don't mean that." Brian said as he grabbed my hand."Oh, I do." I yanked my hand back and kept walking."What did I do to make you hate me.""You are just another guy. Just like the rest of them.""I can show you I'm different if you give me a ch

    Brian's POVI walked up to Elena's door and knocked softly.I heard her moving before she finally opened the door after she knew it was safe."Uh... Hi," she said as she bit her lip.I could tell she was nervous but does she have to do the things she does. This girl will be the death of me."Hey. Can I come in?" I asked motioning inside.She nodded softly opening the door wide enough for me to get in."You're house is lovely." I said looking over at her. Her nervousness was slowly fading away. The agitated Elena I seen at the diner was making a comeback."I don't understand why you are even here." She said giving me a harsh tone."We need to talk. I told you." I said leaning back in the chair I was in."You already said that genius."I smirked at

I was going to be late for work!I jumped up and ran to the bathroom through the hall when I ran into something.... Or should I say someone."If you wanted to touch me you could had just asked." Brian said smugly. He was very confident for some reason. "Where are you going anyway?""To work idiot." I said trying to get passed him.He grabbed my arm and said, "hey now. You don't have to work anymore."I looked over at him with a puzzled expression."What do you mean," I said as I yanked my arm from his grasp, "I can not get fired."I quic

    It's so hard to let someone in. I haven't even known Brian for a week and I'm already "engaged" to him. You can't develop feelings for someone in that amount of time.3I look up and notice I have no idea where I am. I walk over to a table with a few photos on it. I gently pick one up and look at it. A man and woman that resemble Brian is in the picture. A younger Brian and a Brian look alike is between to two staring at a baby in the woman's arms.I study the picture for a moment and pick up another. Brian and the Brian look alike are smiling at the camera with a little girl sitting in the floor crying."I see you met Ben and Carly."The frame drops from my hand and scatters across the floor in several shards."Oh my gosh. Brian I'm so sorry," I say as I get down on my knees and begin to pick up the pieces.

I heard Kade say.I turned the corner and found Kade talking with an older gentleman."Lena!" Kade said jumping into my arms."Hey buddy.""This is Lucas. He's my new friend.""Miss.

    Brian took me to a nice outside restaurant down the road from NC Records. We were quickly seated outside and a waitress took our order as soon as we sat down barely paying any attention to myself."And for you sir?" The waitress said batting her eyelashes at Brian.Brian said his order reading off the menu paying her no mind.1She walked away swaying her hips more than necessary."Everywhere we go someone tries to flirt with you," I tell Brian."Who is jealous now, Mrs. Winters?"1"Oh, I am not jealous. I am just stating the facts. However, you actually were extremely jealous of Jackson.""Jackson?" Brian said looking puzzled."The

    Fine, fine!" he rubbed his face, "whatever you want, just... don't do it." "Don't get involved in my life, and I will not get involved in yours." **** **** After Matt was dealt with, I felt much lighter. The next day was a Saturday. I woke up first, like usual. On most days, Irene slept in. She had admitted to me that for years, she could rarely afford to sleep in the mornings with the kind of work that she did. Now that she could work on her own time, she took full advantage of it. Thoughsleeping inwas a relative term. She would never stay in bed past eight thirty. I would make breakfast, and we'd have it together before joining our family in the tennis club. 2

    I see." I stepped closer until I could whisper in his ear, "I don't give a fuck about your excuses, Matt. We both know what's really happening here. But I'm not dealing with you tonight."I pushed past him towards Irene. I would deal with Matt properly, and by the time I was done with him, he would come begging for mercy.1Irene smiled and rose when I reached her. The interpreter looked more than relieved to be spared signing the two women's words. What kind of crap had they been spouting?The two women looked at me with wide eyes. They scrambled to their feet."Oh, Leo! I didn't know you were coming?" one of them said, her name was Elizabeth or Isabella or something like that.I gave her a look and wrapped Irene in a short hug. She might look calm and unaffected, but I knew her enough to read the anger in her face and body. She wa

    Leo"So, what do you think?" Lydia asked me as soon as I picked up my phone."About what?" I replied, motioning for Brandon to take the documents I just signed. He nodded and left the office, closing the door behind him. I turned my chair to look through the ground to ceiling glass behind my desk. The city below was busy.4"Ugh! I sent you a video of the venue five minutes ago!" Lydia said.I closed my eyes. "Lydia. You know neither Irene nor I care about the venue. We just want to get married.""You are going to be the death of me! I can't wait for Irene to come back!" she screamed and hung up.I sighed and checked the message she'd sent me. It was a video of yet another wedding venue. This one was outdoors, in what looked like a lush garden. Irene would like it.Except that, unlike

    Nathaniel held on for about a year, respecting Irene's mother's wishes to leave them alone. But then he started looking for them again. It was about the time his company faced difficulties. So Eve made him the offer to pull his company off the ground if he would drop all efforts of looking for his daughter. Nathaniel did. And that was why I would never get along with him. He had chosen his company over his child. I didn't care about his excuses. Nothing in the world would keep me from my child. 3 The man hadn't even had the guts to tell Irene the whole truth back when she asked why he didn't look for her. Nathaniel was a selfish bastard. 1 Sure, he was now present in Irene's life, trying to be a father to a daughter who'd been through more than he could imagine. I didn't care

    LeoWe were having dinner in mom's house. Everyone was in attendance. The Allens, Julianna, her husband Ethan, and the twins, Nathaniel and Vincent.The living room was buzzing with activity. Irene was sitting with the twins on a couch, engrossed in what seemed like a senseless conversation with the two toddlers. She was so good with them, it was no wonder Julianna worshipped the ground Irene walked on. Well, pretty much everyone did, really, not just Julianna.1Jayden, Grayson and I were standing by the french doors of the living room leading out to the garden. The weather was nice enough to keep them open."So, I heard Megan stopped by the exhibit," Jayden said. I made a face. Irene must have t

    IreneIt was only minutes later that Nathaniel Braxton called Leo.'It's Nathaniel,' Leo signed, after checking his phone. I fisted my necklace. 'He'll probably want to see you.'I didn't know whether I wanted to see him now or not. But I had decided I would get my life together, and the first step in doing that would be to face my past.I took a deep breath and nodded, "yes, I'll meet him."Leo hesitated for a moment. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he held back and took the call. I looked away, not wanting to read his lips. I really didn't want to meet Nathaniel right now. There were so many questions that onlyhecould answer, and asking those questions meant digging de

    I had lunch with Julianna, then headed to the library. The coffee shop was only a ten minute walk from the center, so I walked there. It gave me time to think. What did I want to do with my life?The answer came immediately. I loved painting. If I could paint for the rest of my life, I would be the happiest person alive. But I also knew that it wasn't easy to make your name known enough in the art industry in order to make a living out of it. I did want to try, however.Which meant that I had to find a job to support myself, while at the same time working on getting my paintings out there.A job? Most well paying jobs require a college degree. With Julianna's payment for the mural and what Sophia paid me for the painting she commissioned, my bank account was no longer suffering.3When I reached the library, I went online, did some research, then some calc

    She grinned and propped her chin on her hand, "you're not going to tell me it's too dangerous."I rolled my eyes with a smile, 'now you're just being mean.'She laughed. The waiter arrived with menus and left. Irene wrinkled her nose at her menu."I have no idea what half these dishes are," she said. There was humor in her eyes. I relaxed.'What are you in the mood for?' I signed.She pondered over it for a moment, "I'm craving seafood."I scanned the menu, then signed, 'trust me?'She pretended to think about it with a deep sigh, "Maybe. But youarea good cook, so I'll just have to take my chances.""Alright, smarty pants," I said with a smile. Her sense of humor had gotten more... unrestricted recently. But only with me, and I loved it.Food arrived.

    Leo's eyes landed on Mrs. Braxton, he stopped beside me. I was now surrounded by three giant, over protective and angry men. I felt sorry for the hotel staff.8Two guards took a few steps back and stood behind the young employee. The poor guy spoke with a bobbing throat to Jayden, while Mrs. Braxton stood her ground. Her stubborn chin raised, but her features had gone from contemptuous to cordial when Leo and Jayden joined us.The only time I had seen Leo this mad was at Lydia's birthday party, when he punched that man, Matt. And just when I thought things had gotten blown way out of proportions, life proved me wrong. Nathaniel Braxton and his son, Vincent, walked up to us with matching frowns.Of course! Join the party!
