Today was Saturday, meaning I had no work to get to, no boss to see and nothing planned for the entire day.
I woke up and went to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast and coffee.
Whenever I work I normally just buy a bagel for breakfast, but now that I have the day off, I pamper myself a little bit.
I made blueberry pancakes and carved a mango putting everything on a plate. I whipped some milk and poured it over my coffee along with caramel syrup and put everything on a tray.
I walked over to the tv and placed the tray on the table before switching to a channel I felt like watching. After nine minutes of not finding anything, I clicked on Netflix and pressed on F.R.I.E.N.D.S. A show that always worked when nothing else did.
When I woke up I felt like I had slept for a week straight. I was so rested and happy for the first time in a long time.I looked at the clock and panic settled in me as I saw the time 18:13. I had slept for over three hours, it was only supposed to be a nap.I flew off the bed and headed for the shower. When I was down I dried my hair as fast as I could while I applied my makeup. I swear to god if I end up looking like a clown I'll cry.I opened my closet and dug through my things trying to find something appropriate.I had a lot of party dresses and a lot of professional clothing.But I was just Ashtons assistant, I probably wouldn't get that much attention anyway. I opted for a white mid-length tight dres
We ran out into the restaurant and saw Ashton standing over Preston throwing blow after blow to his head.Blood was spurting everywhere and if Ashton continued, he'd kill him.Everyone was standing around with wide eyes witnessing the horrific scene, but I didn't feel bad for him. I wanted him dead but I didn't want Ashton to be the one to do it.”Ashton!” Jasmine yelled trying to get him to stop.I walked slowly up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.Ashton stopped and turned around. His eyes were black and his whole posture was predatory-like.”Let’s go, Ash,” I said. He looked down on Preston who was barely breathing.
I was fluttering my eyes open, slowly but surely I was starting to see. I had the worst migraine and my body felt as if it had been thrown off a cliff.”Hey there,” came a voice and when I turned I saw Pazzi sitting by my bed.”Hey, what’s happening?” I asked him. Shocked by the fact that he was in my bedroom. This can't be good.”You don't remember do you,” He said.I shook my head and got a Deja Vu feeling from the last time I woke up with him near me.”You were almost killed last night,” He said and I looked at him in shock.”What?””Do you remember dinner?” He asked
”She’s fine, still asleep,” I heard someone speaking but it sounded far away.”We won't know until she wakes up, wait, I think she is. I’ll call you later,” I groaned as I turned and twisted in my bed. Rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands. I let out a big yawn before I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed.”Good morning sleepy head!” Pazzi was here, why?”Not so loud, I just woke up,” I whined and turned to drink from the water bottle that I always had on my bedside table.”Sorry, how are you feeling?” He asked me with a smile on his face. How can he always be so cheerful?”I’m good, I feel really rested. If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?” I asked him with one raised brow as I pushed aside the comf
I was back at the office sorting paperwork. I was an hour late but luckily Ashton was out with Pazzi on a meeting so nobody noticed.I opened the computer to see which paper goes where and then mail the recipients.I was about the send the mail when I got a notification of a mail I didn't recognize.I opened it up and groaned loudly when I read it. It was from Mr. Carlson, I had decided to call him that from now on.He wanted me to meet him in his office.I swear to god if he mentions his encounter with Jasmine, I'm going to kick him in the balls.I closed the computer back up and walked over to knock on his door. After one knock the door opened and I walked in.&nbs
This morning started off fantastic, to say the least. I got a text from Pazzi saying I don't have to be in the office today because he and Ash were away on a business trip. Meaning I could do whatever the fuck I wanted.I decided to not lay around all day but to go out and have some fun. I was going to have breakfast, watch some tv and then get dressed and head out.Just as I was about to bring the fork with pieces of omelet on it up to my lips, my phone started ringing and Pazzi’s name lit up on my screen.”No, no, no no,” I said out loud as I brought the phone up to answer.”Hi there Ms. Shaw,””Pazzi I am not coming into work today and I'm not going to a meeting! You promised I would have the day off!&rd
I and Thomas were talking about books and different genres that we liked to read. The time flew and I had no idea that it had been so long until I looked outside and saw that the sun was starting to set.”What time is it?” I asked him. He looked at his watch and his eyes grew three sizes.”19:30, wow,” He said and I freaked out. We had ordered coffee from the cafe next door and eaten baked goods and bagels for hours, talking about books. We had staked a few piles of books that we brought out to share with each other and It had been so fun.”I think it’s time to head back home,” I said with a smile. Thomas nodded his head in agreeance and we started putting all the books back in their place.As we were walking out of the b
The day had just begun and it still felt amazing. Regardless of the little debacle downstairs earlier, I wouldn't let it ruin my good mood.An office message popped up on my screen from Ashton saying he wanted everyone gathered in the hall right away. This only happened when there was a big announcement to be made, or at least that’s what I heard.I walked out and gathered with the others who were standing around, Ashton was standing in front of everyone, ready to speak.Pazzi came walking towards me. His shoulders had a predatory bow and his nostrils were flaring. He came and stood next to me. He looked to be bothered by something. Pazzi nudged my arm and leaned down.”How much did you and Jackson speak?” He asked me. He showed little to no emo
~Ashton~Elena had been quiet ever since she came back from her doctors appointment.She had barley said two words and it was making me eery, thinking that something was wrong and she wasn't telling me.She was poking her fork in her past, not eating. My patience was running thin, I had let her be for the entire day thinking she would tell me eventually.”Talk.” I demanded and glared at her form the opposite side of the table.Whatever it was I couldn't help her unless I knew the problem. If someone had been mean to her, I'd kill them. If someone had hurt her, well, I'd kill them. If anything was medically wrong, I'd kill the doctor for telling me.Elena looked up in a haze and shook her head with a forced smile.
Five days later~Elena~I had been discharged form the hospital earlier than expected. Everything looked great and my vitals were above the ordinary.Ashton had been by my side the entire time, which Lisa had said was adorable and in-suffering at the same time.We were driving back to Ashtons house, Lisa, clint and Pazzi were all there.As we drove on the main road, I felt Ashtons hand on my thigh and smiled as I looked at him.”This is were our lives begin,” I said.”No, this is us continuing were we left of.””You were always my life, Elena,” the butterflies in stomach stirred to
Lisa had some hidden talents. She wired the car so that it started and I looked at her in confusion.”The man my mom was married too would always have me help him steal cars. I was underaged then so I couldn't get any real punishment,””No, don't look at me like that. Came in handy didn't it?” She said and glanced at the car.I smiled softly and nodded my head. Taking a deep breath I got in behind the wheel and closed the door. I looked over to the passenger seat and saw Lisa stepping in.”Oh no, you’re not coming,” she scoffed and fastened her seatbelt.”Just drive,””Lisa,” I warned.”Elena, you’re my bestfriend. My only friend. If you think I'm letting you go to that psychotic bitch on your own, not knowing wha
I woke up, for the first time in a long time, feeling rested and happy. I woke up to the feeling of wanting to open my eyes and start the day. Something I hadn't felt in a very long time.I rolled over and patted the side where Ashton had fallen aslepp beside me. Only to find it empty.My eyes darted open and I sat up quickly, looking aorund. Hoping it hadn't all been a dream.I was in the room, in the cabin. That much was true.But where was Ashton?I got up form the bed and strolled over to the closet. My robe hung on the hook beside it and I wrapped it around me.I walked over to the door but just as I was about lay my hand on the handle, someone else opened it.
Clint had brought me and Lisa to a house in the middle of nowhere. Something told me that I should've had better second guessingtechniques regarding people after what happened with Thomas.But now we where here and there was no time to second guess anything”This is so cute!” Lisa shrieked as she ran out of the car.At least I had her with me to lighten the mood.I couldn't but agree with her, this house was adorable in a fairytale way. It was a wooden house with a small tower-looking part in the middle. There were four windows and a porch.Outside was a big patch of land, with chairs set up around a camp fire pit.It felt like home in a way.It had a homey feeling that I had missed immensely.&
We were sitting in the living room. Me and Lisa on one couch and Clint on the other. He still hadn't spoken and the silence grew heavier as the moments passed. He was watching me, searching my face, his eyes held many unspoken questions that I wanted to hear.I had heard his surname before, I was sure of it. But no matter how hard I tried remembering from where, I had nothing. I couldn't put my finger on it. And now here he was, in our living room.He must know Ashton pretty well considering they were seen outside together, but in my time with Ashton, I hadn't seen Clint.Lisa stirred beside me, unable to meet clits gaze. She looked really unconfortable and held her coffee cup close to her chest.”To what do we owe
I walked out onto the serving floor again after what had just happened. People were eating, drinking, talking as if a man wasn't nearly killed in the back. Of course, they didn't know but I did.Ashton was back at the table, probably getting a scolding from Katia. But his eyes were glued me the rest of the evening.I could feel his stare burn into my from every angle, wherever I was.I was going to pay for this, I could sense it.Katia was laughing, talking to Clint, but she seemed eery about something. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and I wondered what it was that had her so squeamish. I knew that if she said the wrong thing, Ashton would explode. He doesn't take crap from anyone, especially when it came to me.The dilemma however, was that he was doing everything he was doing in order to save me, to pro
I had delivered orders to another four tables and was on my way to the bar to collect their drinks. It was unfathomable how much these rich people drank on a Monday. It wasn't even three a clock yet and they were already calling for refills.Another thing I couldn't fathom, was the lozzy tips we got. They were loaded yet three out of four people tipped less than 5%.Making a decent income in this line of work was not easy, but what other choice did I have?”Excuse me Ms, am I going to have to wait all day?” A business man sitting with either his wife or his msittress and another couple, shouted from across the room.I clenched my jaw and through my hand up waving appologetically while forcing a smile on.I had grabbed his martini and two glasses of wine and was making may way to their table.
I had told her everything.Evry. Damn. Thing.Things and happenings that I thought I would bring to the grave. Lisa was crying, holding her knees to her chest and hadn't spoken a word in thirty minutes. Ever since I started telling her, she had been silent, but now, it was starting to freaking me out.I was broken, I should've known a person wouldn't want to be with me through all of this.I can't ask her too either.I can't be so selfish as to ask her to stay with me through my rollercoasting life through hell.Lisa jumped up from the couch and launched herself at me, engulfing me in a big, tight hug.She barried her face in the crook of my neck and continued crying.
