Hoping by the time she opened them back she would be calmer. Kenji watched her and waited for her to speak. After a few minutes Emma jean opened her eyes and spoke. A deep breath came out first. “I’m really happy that you found something to do in the meantime, I know I hadn’t come back with an answer about employment but did you have to park just across from my business?”
He reached out to touch her face but his hand stayed in the air just inches away from her. “I thought it would be a good idea considering I got to see you.”
The apples of her cheeks became more pronounced as she tried to hide the smile threatening to form. “Flattery will not get you anywhere, especially since you are taking money away from my business. Is there anyway you could move to a different location?&rdqu

The CEO's Amusement Kieran's Return
Emma Jean looked up to see Sam walking in her room. A small smile tugged at her lips. She tried to think rationally. The kind of guys she normally goes for always end up being the ones that hurt her. She had hoped this wasn’t the case for Sam. He reached the edge of her bed staring at her as if she were a delectable pastry to be devoured. Emma jean loved that look in his eyes. She launched herself into his arms, stealing multiple kisses from him. The two of them worked quickly to divest the other of their clothing. Sam laid her back onto her bed. Emma jean gazed into his eyes as they became one.It was just in time for her alarm to go off, that she ended up waking up a few minutes before it. Her body felt weighed down causing her to panic just a little bit. When she looked to her right, she seen it was Sam laying in bed next to her with his arm protectively around her middle. It felt strange and warm to have someone do this to her. When she thought back to what they had

By the time Sam came back to her place, she as dressed and ready. Kieran came racing up the stairs to greet her. He practically knocked her over in a tizzy to have her in his arms again after a few days. Kieran yelled in excitement, almost rupturing her eardrum, when he spoke. “EJ!! Don’t ever make me feel alone like that again. I’ll work even if I’m on my death bed.”Emma jean tried to push him away to give herself some space and breathing room. He was much stronger than usual. Her hand still touching his chest, gasped to get his attention. “Too hard, can’t breathe.”He released her from his grip, looking her over for potential bruising. “Sorry, I just missed you so much.”“Is that right? I wouldn’t have guessed by the way you nearly stolen all the air from my lungs.”He helped her out of her house. Pushing her to hold on to his cast. “So, have there been any changes sinc

Sam came back after doing her errands for her. He knocked on the door and listened for her to speak. “Enter.” He was hesitant to go inside. Emma Jean didn’t look happy, nor did she look sad. He just felt underneath her cool exterior she was ready for war. He walked inside to see her on the phone. He felt relieved to have a moment to calm his nerves. What could she actually do to him or about him for lying? Emma Jean motioned for him to site while still on her call. A few minutes later she hung up. The two of them sat across each other starring for a few minutes. Then she spoke. “So, you’re engaged? That’s wow.” “No, we’re not engaged. She doesn’t have a ring. She’s just I don’t know.” He placed his head in his hands. Emma Jean didn’t want to listen to his excuses. The faster she ended whatever it was they had the better. She knew she couldn’t fire him it would cause a sexual harassment suit if he wanted to get revenge. “Listen Sam, no Samuel. I said I would r

Kieran knew she would be hard to placate when she was upset like this. He still went in to hug her. She was stiff in his arms. When he released her from his grasp he got on his knees. “Can you ever forgive me? I’m trying to keep my jealousy in check but how can I when you’re so gorgeous and precious?”She hated when he would get on his knees. It to her was like she was a master and he a slave. He knew she hated it and she knew he knew she hated it. “Ugh, fine. I forgive you but stop doing that. Now can we get back to business. Did you find out any truth to what he said?”“Negative. He could have used an alias. Either way I’ve gotten in touch with a P.I. So, hopefully that yields some fruit.”“Yeah, I do not need him in my life at all.”“Agreed. Now what is this personal business with Sam?”“It’s private and if he wishes to tell you that’s his choice. You know I&rs

Kenji wanted to believe that Kieran was bluffing. That he wouldn’t call the police on him. They were breaking no laws; the park’s land was across the street. They were just in front of an empty lot. No owner’s, just a for sale sign at his back. “Listen, my sister and came to apologize. I would much rather apologize to her versus apologizing to the guy the punched me. Seems you’re not as strong as you think if you broke your wrist.”That pissed Kieran off. He went to grab for him but Kenji stepped out of his direct reach. “If you want to apologize to her, here I’ll call her and you can do it that way.”“Haven’t you ever heard that an apology should be done face to face when possible? I know she’s in the car so just let me go to her.”He didn’t like the logic that Kenji made but if he was going to show her that he can keep his jealousy in check then it was better this way. “F
The CEO's Amusement Will the Truth Make it Right?
Kieran sat on the opposite seat from Emma Jean. She looked out the window thinking. Kenji didn’t have to apologize to her, he could have done everything he could to milk the situation. Could have kept the lie going even if she refused to admit it. She was beginning to wonder if he was a decent guy. Her radar had always been wrong when it came to certain guys maybe this time it wasn’t so bad. Kieran watched her, seeing her eyebrows wiggle and change every few minutes. He had an inkling of what she was thinking about. He didn’t like it, at all. He wanted to get her mind off that bozo and onto him. “EJ, when was the last time you actually wore a dress? Feels like it’s been since our senior homecoming.” She rested her hand against between her shoulder and chin. “It couldn’t have been that long. I distinctly remember wearing a dress as recently as last year.” “I never seen it.” “Maybe it was when I went on a date.” He gave her a face. “You haven’t

The woman motioned for her to slowly turn around. She continued to inspect Emma jean. She placed her hand against her lip, thinking. “One more turn but can you undress down to your skivvies dear. That suit isn’t fitted to you correctly. I have a friend that can tailor make some outfits for you.” She couldn’t believe a strange woman was asking her to strip down. But knew it would be better to have something that would fit her better than sloppily. “Can you leave out of the room then? I don’t feel comfortable doing that in front of someone.” “I’ll turn my back. It’s perfectly normal if your underwear don’t match either. We have a lingerie shop that we can also get you some very cute sets.” She turned around to give her the semi privacy she asked for. “So, tell me dear, how long has it been?” Emma jean was in the middle of stripping down when she was asked that question. “How long has what been?” She peeked over her shoulders to see Emma jean bending ove

Kenji made up his mind to talk to her and explain. If she decided after that, there was no need for another date he would accept it. He sent her a message. “[Can we meet?] Emma Jean was just heading into the lingerie shop just a few minutes from the dress shop. Kieran had picked the right location; everything was within walking distance. She felt her phone buzz in her handbag. When she removed it, a preview on the screen showed who it was from. She wasn’t going to send a message back but thought better of it. [I’m busy at the moment. What is it?] [I’d like to talk to you in person. It’s important.] She looked at the message and thought what could possibly be so important. [Fine. Meet me here at xx location.] She sent off the address of where she was going to be. Kenji remembered where that place was, it caused a small pain in his chest. She really was from a different world than he was. [can we meet at a restaurant? Don’t feel comfortable going in a l

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
The CEO's Amusement Epilogue
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.
