71| Breakup (Emma)
Last Updated:
2021-05-24 01:43:07I was surprised that I even got home after our breakup, I’m sure the cabbies driving by thought I was a disaster and I was surprised when someone picked me up, turns out to be Manny and he wanted to know if I was okay. I got in the car and laughed through the tears,
“Oh, you know, just love,” I shrugged and continued sobbing.
Manny looked into the rearview mirror to see me, “Love is a beautiful thing, though, why are you crying?”
“Because I just lost mine,” I crumbled in the backseat and put my hands on my face again, deciding to cry in the company of a friend.
I saw out of the corner of my eye that Manny turned off the meter so that I wouldn’t have to pay for my ride. I tried focusing on my breathing in and out deeply, but my breaths were shaky and only made me cry more.
I laid down and curled into a ball in the back of the cab – not even caring what germs may be on the seat.
Why am I even crying so much? It was my decision, I’m the o

The Fashion CEO 72| Soirée (Matthew)
I was at a fashion insider party over the weekend for a fellow designer's book release, there were dancers, a disco ball that shone through the entire room, a DJ, numerous bar stations, and a confetti cannon at one point. I was surprised there weren’t any stilt walkers – it was quite the soirée and no dollar was wasted. “Matthew!” I peeked over to see the owner of the familiar voice and smiled, “Joyce!” She came and put her arms around me for a hug, “How have you been?” “Good, I’ve been good, thank you, but I want to hear about you! The fundraiser was such a success and that new design of yours was absolutely gorgeous! I can only imagine how crazy things at work have been since then!” I smiled kindly at her friendly comments, “Thank you, and yes, things have been rather hectic,” I chuckled. “Where is your muse?” She asked as she looked around the room for Emma, my smile quickly faded at the mention of her, and having to mention that she isn’t

I woke up one morning to the most horrifying photo and the headline: PLAYBOY CEO’S WILD NIGHT OUT The photo underneath was of Matthew with a blonde in his lap, his lips on her chest and his hand cupping one of her breasts. The little blonde reminded me of Amy, and suddenly I had to urge to vomit again. I hurried to the bathroom down the hall and hurled whatever was in my stomach. I was not expecting to see that. It’s only been a week, and he’s already out clubbing and hooking up with other people? Kay must have heard me running because she showed up behind me and held my hair back for me. “I’m guessing you saw,” she said in a small voice as I was heaving for breath. “Yeah,” I tried to sound strong at first and keep my voice flat, but my voice cracked and the tears began to stream again. I put an elbow on the toilet bowl and turned my face away from Kay. “Just when I begin to think that he’s changed…” “They’re creatures of habit. You kn

“I just had a huge, scandalous photo released of me, why the fuck would I go out to a club?” I asked Ben as he rummaged through my closet for something for me to wear tonight.“Because you haven’t been out with Eli and me for ages!”“For good reason,” I pointed out to him, “Last time I went out with you two, I woke up in an alleyway.”Ben laughed evilly and mumbled to himself, “Lightweight.”“I am not! All of us have the same tolerance for alcohol, you know that!” I tried to defend myself.Ben threw a shirt at me and told me to get ready, then picked up his phone to call Eli. I stripped off the shirt I was wearing and put on the new one, shaking my head at my reflection, I can’t believe I’m listening to them again, they’re such bad influences.“He didn’t answer, why don’t you try him?”I sighed and took out my phone,

Weeks passed after we broke up and I was walking the earth feeling like a shell of a human – no substance, no meaning. I kept taking the steps in the apartment building instead of the elevator because I was afraid that I would run into Matthew and wouldn’t be able to keep my composure.I was just like the rest of them – the assistants that fell in love with him and then left because it didn’t work out. The thought filled me with rage. A deep, burning, intense rage that had me wanting to throw a glass at the wall whenever I thought about it.I’m just another whore now. Nothing more. Everyone’s going to see me that way from now on. I know that’s how I’ve started to see myself, especially after what happened in the club with his brother.I’ve been keeping busy with my work as the choreographer for upcoming shows and working with the models – probably giving them too many hours, but I needed something to di

Our lips met with the same amount of passion and need. Emma gripped onto my suit jacket and held on tightly as one of my hands went to her neck, the other wrapping around her waist and pulling her in as we deepened the kiss. Our tongues fought for dominance for only a second until Emma gave herself to me, relishing the moment together that has been a long time coming. I couldn’t help myself with her, I entirely took control. I needed her. It wasn’t a want, it was a necessity. My thirst for her had been at an all-time high. It was as if I had been wandering a desert for weeks without a drink and Emma was a tall, cool glass of water - I couldn’t get enough of her. By the time that we parted from the kiss, we were both panting for breath and our lips had gone pale. We chuckled at ourselves and how hard we went at the kiss for a moment, but I kept my arms around her and she kept her hands on my chest, attempting to smooth out the part of my jacket that she had be

Inside a tall building in the heart of Manhattan, Natalie Freeman was hurrying to her aunt’s office to share with her the latest news that popped up on her phone. “Aunty Joyce, aunty, have you heard?” She pants as she hurries into the woman’s office. Joyce had her eyes glued to her computer as she responded to her niece, “I think everyone has heard, dear. The news is everywhere,” Joyce grabbed a remote and turned on her TV to one of the shows that talks all about celebrities and the hottest new gossip. Natalie and Joyce both looked at the TV on the wall as the reporter said, “The CEO of Greene Designs, a hot and upcoming fashion brand, who is known for his playboy lifestyle, has officially announced this morning that he is off the market and according to one anonymous source, completely in love with his new mystery woman!” The reporter continued, “The question that everyone is asking, is who is Matthew Greene’s mystery woman?” A second host wh

Matthew and I went straight to his apartment after we got back together and made out the whole ride there. We were making up for lost time together, and it was amazing - It was raw, passionate, loving, and much needed.The new stubble that he let grow out gave a new sensation when making out as it scratched against my face. It wasn’t painful, it was actually exciting having a new sensation there and brushing against my skin.Once inside, we began stripping our clothes off piece by piece. First came Matthew’s suit jacket, then I helped him with the buttons of his white shirt while he pulled up my shirt off of me, our lips only parting when necessary.We tried to make our way to the bedroom but failed and ended up on the large couch instead, Matthew hovered on top of me and let some of his body press against me, eventually grinding his hardening member on my leg, resulting in a tingling sensation in my core, begging me to give him entrance.I co

Emma stayed over and we made love all night until our bodies were exhausted. We were definitely making up for lost time and it was phenomenal finally being with her again. I was elated when she agreed to be my girlfriend again and come back to me. This time, I know we will be stronger than before because we both know how awful it was when we were apart.We were in the shower together when I told her about the plans for the day, “My brother invited me to play baseball with him. He’s practicing before the season starts and we always get together and have a little game with some friends,” the mention of my brother had Emma’s eyes widen for half a second but she hid it quickly.I knew that Emma and Eli had seen each other and danced in the club, I also know that she ran like hell when she realized who he was.

The Fashion CEO 85| Goodnight (Matthew)
Fast forward 5 years “Matthew!” My beautiful wife called out. I followed the sound of her voice and questioned from the doorway, “Yes, dear?” Emma let out an exasperated sigh as she held her growing belly, “Where is our daughter? She disappeared on me.” She was fixing her makeup and steadying her nerves at a pop-up vanity that Isabella had brought by for her. “I think she may have run off with Isaac again, I’ll go look for her,” I turned away and began walking around the shop calling for her, “Stephanie!” Today is the grand opening for Claudette Reed, Emma’s own store. Being the wife of a successful fashion CEO has some perks, and one of them is getting your name out there and having a lot of people to support you. Our daughter, Stephanie, was now four years old and the most mischievous little thing – she definitely takes after me, she even has my bright green eyes. Steph and Isaac were the best of friends, and she called Isabe
The Fashion CEO 84| Isaac (Emma)
After the attempted scandal by NYFJ was taken down by Matthew’s brother, Ben, and his amazing hacking skills, life went back to normal for us. Matthew and I were dating, we were happy, Trish was his full-time assistant, and he even comes by to help me with Emile sometimes on his lunch break when I’m babysitting.Months passed, and one night, while Matthew and I were in a cab heading to a date he had planned, Matthew got a call from Isabella, telling him that she had had her baby. Being the baby's godparents, we hurried to the hospital as soon as possible and found her in a hospital bed with a small bundle swaddled in blankets in her arms, along with her parents on either side of her.Isabella smiled as she saw us enter the room and motioned for us to join her. Her parents made room, and Matthew went to one side of the bed and I went to the other, both of us looking down at the swaddled baby she held.“This is Isaac,” she introduced her ba

I woke up saddened that Emma didn’t stay over but feeling better after all that went down yesterday with Eli. I still didn’t know how I was going to get rid of these rumors about me cheating. Even if Emma believed me that it wasn’t true, that didn’t mean she was going to like seeing it on the front page of every magazine. I groaned as I rolled out of bed, hissing in pain as my bruises came alive. I felt my face and looked down at my naked torso, seeing a few bruises scattered, I smiled as I remembered last night when I told Emma I had “Booboo’s that needed kisses.” God, I’m pathetic, but it worked. I headed downstairs to find Ben and thank him for letting me stay over. I found him in the dining room, sipping on some coffee with the newspaper in hand, leaning back in his chair. “Morning, dad,” I mocked and he gave me a quick glare. I chuckled, “What? Isn’t this the sight kids come down to in the morning? Dad at the table with the paper and coffee?”
The Fashion CEO 82| Kay and Ben (Emma)
Matthew’s mom and I got along really well, and I look up to her now that I saw how she raised her boys when how they respected her. She mentioned Matthew getting mocked for having a busted face after a rumor spread of him cheating, so he went home with Ben and decided to hang out there for the next week or so for his bruises and cuts to heal. He had asked me to go to his apartment and get him some clothes and things he needed since he would be working from Ben’s home, he also asked me to bring Kay along with me, which I thought was odd, but I realized as soon as we got there why he asked for her to come. Ben answered the door of his house and his eyes went right to Kay, staring at her with a twinkle in his eye and a small smile forming on his lips. It was adorable, really, and looking over at Kay, I could see her blushing and smiling right back. Ben looks remarkably similar to Matthew, and I know Kay is fond of looking at Matthew, but it never dawned on me th

I had been glancing around for Emma but couldn’t find her anywhere and began to fear that she had left. My mother is my rock and the one person I truly admire and respect, other than Emma, of course, but my mother has my utmost respect and she deserved my attention at the moment. She took a step closer to me and said, “You’re the most honest person I know, Matty, and I’m proud of you for it. Now tell me, did you cheat on this mystery woman?” “No, I did not.” I noticed her slightly lift her chin before she asked, “Do you love her?” “More than anything.” She seemed pleased with my quick answers and stepped closer to cup my face, “My honest, loving boy. You need to fix this,” I nodded my head silently to her. She turned to Eli and did the same, saying, “My strong, courageous boy. You need to support your brother, not bring him down. I understand sibling rivalry, but trying to steal your brother’s girlfriend? Not okay. Do you understand?”

I gulped as I read the headline and stared at Eli’s cellphone, seeing the photographs underneath the headline. The first one was of Matthew and I on our first date walking on the sidewalk with our hands together, the one next to it was the photo of Matthew and Charlotte on the couch at the soirée – the same photo that made me throw up the first time I saw it.This time feeling no different, along with the heat from the day, I had to excuse myself from the boys and run to get some fresh air on the other side of the bleachers. I couldn’t be around anyone right now, I was feeling humiliated. Did everyone see this? Were they secretly laughing at me behind my back? My head was spinning.I pulled out my own phone and looked it up, reading the article, it said: “This reporter learns that Matthew Greene, CEO of Greene Designs paid off the photographer of the scandalous Charlotte Mercury photo by means of a sexual favor the very night it was taken
