  • The CEO's Amusement    Side Story: Rowan/Dallas

    It was math class, a spring day. The start of a new quarter. Rowan Adams had her head resting in her hand looking out the window. The droning of the teacher coupled with the sounds of the rain were lulling her to sleep. Rowan hated math class. It was a useless waste of space in her eyes. She knew with what she wanted to do in her life math didn’t play a part of it. Rowan wanted to be a beautician. Making people feel their most beautiful after getting their hair done. A slam came down on her desk making her look up. The teacher, Mrs. Schroedene, was right in front of her desk. A look of annoyance marred her haggard features. Anyone could see that she was overworked and underpaid, which made her a mean math teacher. “Ms. Adams, you need math in order to work in the real world.”“Correction, Mrs. S, I don’t for what I plan to do with my life. All I need is basic math nothing more.”“Oh, ho, ho, is that so? And what do you plan on

    After prom, Rowan and Dallas were inseparable. Dallas received the honor of Valedictorian for graduation. After their graduation ceremony Dallas took her in his arms and whispered in her ear for only her to hear. “Will you marry me?”Rowan was stunned at his sudden proposal but knew this was the man for her. “Yes but not right away. School first Mr. Big shot. Then we can have a small ceremony.”Dallas went on to state University while Rowan went to beauty school. It was hard for the two of them to see each other but they always made time on a Saturdays. She would test out some of her coursework on him. He would give her feedback when necessary. She loved how supportive he was of her. When Rowan finished beauty school Dallas was there to shower her with praise and his love. There was a huge bouquet of flowers in her arms when they left the ceremony.Rowan was able to start her career, while Dallas was still in school. He was a big name on campus. She didn’t think she h

    Dallas was shocked she even suggested this as a way to thank him. He only expected her to express her gratitude an move on. Hope sprung forth in his heart. A possibility of reconciliation had his heart beating wildly. Agreeing to it immediately, he pushed his hands in his pockets to keep from hugging her. One step at a time. That’s what he kept saying to himself.After they all left the lake, Rowan met Dallas at a burger joint the two of them frequented when they were dating. It felt like old times minus the lovey-dovey atmosphere that usually surrounded them. Dallas tried to go at her pace, to feel how she was really doing. Rowan tried her hardest to stay level headed and calm. It barely was working. Her heart was galloping, palms were sweating, and she wanted nothing more than to kiss his pouty lips. Lips she missed much.Her next words to him were unexpected but welcomed. “Kiss me.”Dallas leaned over and kissed her sweetly on the lips. “Say you’ll love me ag

  • The CEO's Amusement    Hello, again

    It has been a several years since he was forced to quit Kari-hope. No matter how hard he tried to get backing for an amusement park it seemed his name had been blacklisted. Kenji had thought going out of the country would help but even out of the country no place wanted to compete with Kari-hope. He had made his way through nearly every country trying to find some bank that would take a chance on him. The last bank he went to, the teller informed him of his status. Somehow Dallas Scott made sure he wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.He waited to hear if that very man would reach out to him, to his surprise nothing ever came. Kenji received a phone call from his younger brother that day. “Yo old timer, did you hear?”He sighed they were only 10 years apart, “What was I suppose to hear ‘oh little bratty one'?”“The CEO of Kari-hope died. He had cancer. That dude was a beast. He kept quiet about his illness and still managed to work.”“You serious? He died of cancer?”

    Kemari gave a huge smile knowing that he is all they know. The two girls ran towards him hugging his legs. Kenji stood up and shook hands with Kimmie’s husband, Marshall. “I heard a lot about you. Kimmie absolutely adores you. If you had a fan club, I am a million percent sure she would be the president and vice president.” “Ah, well we did spend a lot of time together. We’re just a few years apart.” “Really? She likes to joke and tell me that she is still twenty-seven. She’s been that age for at least five years.” Kenji could only laugh, Kimie wasn’t nearby so he leaned n and whispered her true age, “She is thirty-four. But don’t tell her I told you.” “I won’t. I’ll just say I glimpsed her birth certificate or something. Good looking out. Kemari would just play dumb.” “He’s good at the naïve persona. So what do you do?” “I work at Kari-hope. I’m one of their engineers. Our CEO passed away last week and it’s been tough going.”

    Kenji reached her table noticing she was with an older woman. He assumed the lady was her mother. They looked similar around the eyes. He gave the two women a pleasant smile, “I’m sorry to disturb you but I felt your eyes on me. Do I know you?” He could see the embarrassment blooming across her freckled cheeks. The sight intrigued him. He waited for her to answer. She looked away from him to her mother. “Forgive me. I thought you were someone I worked with before.” He shoved his hands in his pockets rocking on the balls of his feet. “I’ve worked in a few places. Where do you think we’ve worked together at?” She shot another look at her mom, seemingly having a silent conversation. “Please take a seat. Join us.” “I couldn’t possibly impose.” He held up his right hand to wave off the invitation. The older lady spoke up at that moment. “It is certainly not an issue. We just started our dinner. Mr. …?” Having her mother ask for his name he

    After his meal was finished, he left to go home. His parents were gone. Kemari apparently had a date that night with some woman. The house was quiet. It brought him back to his time living alone overseas. The quiet used to frustrate him in the beginning. He was used to hearing the loudness of Kemari and Kimmie fighting. When he lived in England, he would play the local music to drown out the silence. It helped until eventually silence was something he craved for after a few months. He had to figure out what his next move was going to be. It was fortuitous that he ended up meeting her again. Even better, that her mother said she desperately needed to go on a date. Why she needed to do that was something of a mystery. He thought back to her beautiful green eyes. Despite, being in mourning she still seemed as fiery as from when they met as kids. Her auburn hair cascaded down her shoulders, falling into beachy waves. He knew it was her when he first seen her at the restaurant wh

    Sure, enough when morning came, Kenji was exhausted. His parents went at it for majority of the night. If his mind didn’t plague him with confusion on revenge, his parents grunting and howling made sure to steal his attention. Kenji did his best to look presentable. You could see the dark, purplish hues around his eyes. He looked as if he needed three layers of makeup and a cold compress. His raccoon eyes didn’t go unnoticed by his parents. When he went downstairs to grab something for breakfast. He dressed in a black pin stripped suit with a navy-blue tie light blue shirt. His cuff links were custom made to look like a Ferris wheel. It was his way of making sure to fulfill his dream. His parents were cuddling with each other as they drank coffee. He couldn’t help but want to gag. “Didn’t the two of you get enough of affection last night?” His dad looked at him sternly, while his mother hides her face against his chest smiling. “You could always move out. You kids ex

    Emma Jean stood there with her hands covering her mouth. Tears we’re streaming down her eyes. She was in shock, words failed her at that moment. She could only nod her head yes. “You will?” She finally found her voice. “Yes! Don’t be ridiculous.” Kenji picked her up, spinning her around. “You have no idea how happy that makes me.” He peppered her face in kisses. “Come with me.” He put her down on the porch. Rummaging through his pants pocket he pulled out the keys to the house. He headed straight to unlock the door. When he looked at her, she was confused. A tiny smile formed on his lips. “What’s this?” “Just follow me. I promise it’ll be worth your while.” He took her hand and lead her up the stairs. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the unfurnished house. They reached the top of the steps. Kenji took her to the master bedroom. There he opened the door and stood just at the entrance. Inside, were Sandra and Rowan holding a dress

    Emma Jean looked in the rearview mirror to see his head disappeared. She got concerned and was about to get out of the car when he stood back up. She placed her hand to her chest and breathed. When he got in the car, she turned to him. “You nearly gave me a heart attack?”He looked puzzled for a moment then realized what she was referring to. “I didn’t disappear or felt ill. Just needed to tie my shoes is all. Is this your way of saying you love me more than air?”She turned away from him, folding her arms over her chest. “I didn’t say that.”“You’re so cute when you pout.”“You'll be cute with a swollen lip?”Kenji started the car. And sounded overly cheerful. “Does that mean your going to kiss me until they are swollen from your love?”Emma Jean couldn’t say anything back after that. She just decided to be quiet and enjoy the ride. Kenji knew what she really meant but nothing could bring him down. He had a plan to give her the romantic proposal she woul

    Six months had past since that incident with Shannon. Emma Jean had been sitting in her office working on plans for the parks new attraction while also watching a rough cut of a new movie the company had started to work on. A knock came from her door causing her to look up. She smiled when he entered the office. “What are you doing here?” Kenji was dressed up in a suit and carrying a mixed bouquet. Roses, carnations, lilies, daisies, and baby’s breath were wrapped in an elegant purple paper. “I came to see the most beautiful woman in the world.” She smiled at him and looked down at her swollen belly. “You only say that because I’m pregnant and hormonal. You’re trying to appease me first thing.” He handed her the flowers then stole a kiss from her lips. “Not at all. I really believe you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And you are all mines.” She took the flowers and placed them on her desk. She smiled while looking at him. She couldn

    Emma jean had hoped that would keep her occupied long enough to get out of the house safely so the police could handle her but as soon as she reached the door to turn it a shot rang close to her ear. She looked to see a bullet hole in the corner of the door’s hinges. She turned around to see Shannon barely standing. She sent a silent prayer up to her daddy for making sure she had a learned some defensive moves. “That was the last bullet in the chamber you know.”Shannon held the gun up weakly while still holding onto her stomach. “You think I didn’t load the bullets back in the chamber? You would be stupid if you thought otherwise.”Emma jean looked from the door handle to Shannon. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she raised her eyebrows. “You wouldn’t have had enough time to load them.”“You want to test that theory?” She stood up straighter an pointed the gun towards her.“So you&

    Detective Hanson sighed. This wasn’t an ideal hostage situation but nothing is ideal when you have mentally disturbed people involved. He scratched his head with free hand. “Ok, so you’ll let his parents and Emma Jean go?” Emma jean answered for herself. “No, Kenji needs to reject me in front of her. I have to stay. Just worry about his parents and not about me.” “Yes, she understands the situation so don’t get in our way. Once he tells me he loves me and not her then we can all end this as peacefully as we can. Don’t try anything funny.” Detective Hanson gulped knowing what the end result would be. “We won’t. I’m sending someone in now.” He motioned for one of his men to go forward unarmed to get the couple. The man knocked on the door and opened it. He walked into seeing Emma Jean being held with a gun to her head. Her hands were balled into a fist. He thought he seen something but shook his head. Shannon motioned to the kitchen. “Hurry and

    Shannon angled her head to the left. Her eyebrow was arched. “Did you just threaten me?” Her voice raised with each word. He realized just a bit too late that he fucked up. “Shannon, no I didn’t threaten you. I just want my dad to be there for when we get married. You don’t have any family, do you? Wouldn’t you want him to walk you down the aisle?” He was hoping that would make her think logically about it. “Oh, you’re right. I want to be as close to my in laws to the point where they think of me as the daughter they never had.” She raised the gun to her lips while smiling. “But you did threaten me so you need to be punished.” She raised her hand in the air that wielded the gun and struck him across the side of his face. Kenji crumpled to the ground. She hit him hard enough to be knocked unconscious. Sandra screamed. “Kenji? Kenji? Wake up honey please?” “Oh, shut up mom. He’s fine you shouldn’t worry so much.” She took the bandana that she was holdin

    Kenji stepped in front of Emma Jean. He put himself in front of Shannon to keep her from firing. He wanted to know where his parents were. “Shannon? Where are my parents?”“Aww you’re more concerned about them than that little bitch. Then maybe you should move out of the way so that I can just end her miserable life.”Emma Jean wanted to say something but knew that it would only aggravate her even more. Kenji shook his head. “No, we’re talking about my parents. What did you do with them? I know you wouldn’t hurt them.”“Of course, I wouldn’t. Unless they said something so disgusting as that thing being their daughter in law over me. Tell me the truth you don’t love her. You can’t see yourself with her?”Emma Jean gently tugged on his shirt trying to get his attention. Wanting to tell him it was ok if he diminished his feelings for her to calm Shannon down.

    They were in the middle of their second movie when the storm seemed to ease enough for them to head back to his parents place. The two of them looked at each other. It was silent except for the sounds of the movie playing in the background. Emma Jean was about to say something when Kenji received a message from an unknown number.[Your parents are really nice.] a picture was attached with the back of his parents in the frame showing.Kenji bolted right up. Not sure who it was or who was in his house. He sent a reply back. [Who is this?] He started to call his mom first. It rang several times before going to voicemail. He tried the house phone it made a loud screeching sound signaling it was off the hook. He tried his mothers cell again. Nothing.Emma Jean looked at him worriedly. “What’s going on? You look panicked?”Before he could answer another text came in. [its just your soulmate. Your parents think im the better match for you now.
