I was already bored out of my life in this stupid meeting. I looked around the room and noticed my other Colleagues were paying so much attention to what my Hot boss was saying. And did you know who that was? Eros Kingston.

Yep! You heard me.

Eros Kingston, the hot,arrogant, handsome jerk. Oh! And did I also mention he's a man whore. He's always on the face of tabloids every week. And when I say tabloids,I mean every one in this city and sometimes in some other cities.

He only dates models, actresses or even some popular News casters. Why would you have a new girlfriend every week. Well, he didn't call them that, I just assumed.

Oh shut up! You're just mad because you are not those people. My subconscious said.

Of course why wouldn't I be mad. Have you seen how hot he is! I argued back.

You're stupid.

We're the same person, so that also makes you stupid.

I was working for his dad who stepped down for him about two months back. I prefer his dad to him. His dad was very nice at least, but him, he's just plain arrogant. But that doesn't stop me fantasizing about him.

Don't blame me, have you seen how his hot body is!

There was one time he told me to bring a file home for him from his office. I entered into his penthouse, he had no maid so it was hard knowing where he was. There was no movement in the house, so I figured he'd be outside. Maybe working out or doing something else.

I went outside the house and found the gym. I entered and it was still quiet. I was about to leave when I heard my favourite baritone that made heat pool against my thighs instantly.

I turned around and saw him standing in only a grey sweat pants, no shirt. I'm pretty sure I almost drooled at the sight of him.

"Miss Jackson, the file." He snapped at me.

Okay, someone is on his period.

I frowned as I cleared my throat and then handed him the file.

"You can leave." He said as he opened the file scanning through it.

I rolled my eyes and left his place.

"Miss Jackson?!" I heard my favourite baritone again, but this time it was more demanding.

I broke out of my trance and saw that I was the only one still seating in the large table. Oh shit!

"Sir?" I stood up quickly from the chair which almost made it fall.

"My office, now!" He pursed his lips and left the room.

I groaned aloud. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" I hit my head and made my way to his office.

I knocked on the door as I dusted the imaginary dust on my shirt.

"Come in."

I breathed out and made my way inside his office. He was sitting, well not completely, on his table with his arms crossed. He already put off his suit, leaving him in his white shirt.

Sexy.

I stood far away from him and then bowed my head.

"Closer."

I moved closer to him a bit.

"Closer."

I moved again.

"Closer."

And again.

"Closer."

Till I was standing very close to him.

"What went on during the meeting?" He asked me with an annoyed tone.

I shook my head. Unable to give him an answer. Well, I couldn't tell him I zoned out of his boring meeting.

"Heads up when you are talking to me." He pulled me closer to him, hands on my arm.

I gasped, eyes wide. I had to place my hand on his chest to avoid hitting him. But he looked like he didn't care.

I noticed how he actually looked now. He cleaned up nicely, his eyes were honey brown, the perfect nose and those lips.

The things I want then to do.

"Eyes here miss Jackson." He smirked at me. He definitely knew what I was thinking about.

"I, I-I uh, I'm so sorry" I stuttered stupidly.

"Don't zone out next time." He said firmly and I gave him a quick nod.

"You can leave now."

He didn't need to tell me twice cause I needed to get away from the way his eyes were staring at me. Not in a bad way actually.

Immediately I got out I released the breath I didn't realize I've been holding since. I rolled my eyes and made my way to my private office.

The day was soon over. I didn't have any other encounter with Eros throughout the day, I made sure of that. I cleared my desk, and made sure   everything was in place for tomorrow.

Even though we had cleaners in the company, I still preferred to clean my office by myself. I carried my black leather bag and made my way out of the office.

I greeted Michael, the guard at the entrance to the company, as I made my way outside. "See you tomorrow Michael." I gave him a small smile.

"And you too Janet." He called after me.

I sat in the nearest coffee shop as I ordered a cab to take me home. I have not had enough money to buy myself a car, so I'm stuck with ordering cabs.

I plugged in my earpiece and played the Nf's new album.

I threw my bag on the chair and made my way to my fridge. I opened it and saw a bowl of lasagna. I guess that will do it.

I left it inside the microwave and made my way up to my room to get changed. I sighed and removed my shoes, then my clothes. Made my way into the bathroom and washed my face and dried it up with a clean towel.

I picked up one of the big shirts I had and threw it on, packed my hair into a bun, and then wore my flip flops as I heard the microwave ding.

I made myself comfortable on my couch with the bowl of lasagna in one hand and the remote to my tv in another. I turned on the TV until I remembered I didn't pour myself a cup of orange juice, my favourite.

I groaned as I stood up and took the whole bottle of juice.

What?Don't look at me like that.

Glutton.

Whatever.

I made myself comfortable again, even if it took a while to find the former position. I clicked on grey anatomy and ate my dinner in peace.

    Since I spent almost the whole night watching Grey anatomy, I'm sure you can guess I woke up late. I heard my phone ringing from my sleep, who can be calling by this time in the morning.I picked up my phone from the table next to my bed with my duvet covering my face. I sighed as I removed the cover and checked the screen.Mr Angry pants.Why is he calling early in the morning? He never calls?I groaned as I picked up the call. "Where the fuck are you!" His voice boomed through my phone speaker.With wide eyes, I stood up from my bed, well almost, until my sheets got caught up with my leg, sending me face flat on the ground.What is he talking about??

He said and hung up.I stood up from the floor and r

    Eros KingstonAfter taking my cup of coffee, I sighed as I stood up from my seat and made my way to my dad's office. I know what he wants to talk about. That's what he has been saying for the past one year and I'm already fed up.I liked my normal lifestyle, when I was not the CEO of this company. Sure, I had many women at my feet, the influencial ones though. I've never done out with anyone below my standards, never.The women lived been with me, even if it was always for a week. I always already inform them ahead. Sex for a week and we're done. Besides who would be able to resist this body.I entered the elevator and clicked the button to the top floor. That's where my dad's office is. Since he already handed over to me he started staying in the highest floor. I don't know why he's worried about the company.I might be reckless, but that's with the women, not office work. I might not like being the CEO of this company, but there's nothing I

    Kelvin, one of my friends got me a personal assistant immediately I told him what went on between myself and Janet. Even though he told me it was my fault I was not ready to accept the blame.I already had three personal assistants since the time Janet left and now, Monday. Don't blame me! None of them is as good as Janet. They are either too sluggish or flirting and Janet is none of that.I made up my mind to go to her house as I close for the day. To apologize at least. I can't blame her, I know I'm at fault, even if it's hard to accept it.I've talked to Kelvin about what my father said. He is a Lawyer and he has brought up a few ideas which I did not like at all. He said I could date one of the girls I've had sex with and I told him I'm never taking any of them to meet my family.I don't want girls like that meeting my family. Most of them are good diggers.

She was putting on a black jeans and a grey sweatshirt coupled with a pair of vans.She already removed her hair from the bun it was, she already straightened it and it was obvious she was on makeup.With make up or without makeup she was pretty either way."You ready?" I asked her as I stood up from the couch. My eyes scanning her appearance."Yh." She visibly gulped, nodding her head. She picked up her black purse, probably in case of money."You know I'm paying right? You don't need your purse."She shrugged as she turned off the TV and we made our way outside.I decided on having pizza, since we were both not dressed elegantly for a exquisite diner.I opened the door for her and she mumbled a 'thank you'"What are we having?" She asked me as she strapped in her seat belt.I started the engine after strapping myself in too "Pizza?"

She gave a small smile before closing the door.I just hope she comes to work tomorrow.I drove straight home, my penthouse. I put off my shirt, turned on the TV to distract myself and then poured myself a shirt of whiskey.I pulled out my cell phone and then called Kelvin."Hey man." His voice sounded hoarse."I talked to Janet about the -""Janet? The one that works in your office? Your personal assistant?" He cut me off as he continued to throw questions at me.I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, "yes. That one.""So, what did she say?" I heard papers ruffling. He was probably working on a project and I was here disturbing him with my own problem."Nothing.""Nothing?"

I was busy replying a mail from someone who applied for an appointment when my phone rang.Mom.I picked up the call and the first thing I heard was my mom crying at the other end of the line."Mom...mom, what's wrong?" I asked fera evident in my voice."Your brother, it's Andrew." She hiccuped which only means she has been crying since. "He...he was involved in a car accident" she sniffed"Wha.... what?! How?!" I stood up from my seat pacing around my office, I could already feel the headache coming."He went to this party we didn't know about with some of his friends. They were about to come drop him off at home when a trailer that had already lost control hit them." I knew she was crying all over again."He was the only one that made it, but with a broken leg." She sighed "and some broken bones." She added later."You sho

    Thenext morning, I woke up earlier than usual, probably because of the thought of me being his wife finally settled in, even if we're not yet bounded by the contract. After we had our talk, before we left where we had our lunch, he told me he already made arrangements for the contract file to be made. And, we'll sign first thing tomorrow morning.I cleaned up my room and the living room. Immediately I got home from work, Jade was the first person I called. Everything was happening so fast in a blur.After I blurted everything out to her, she just reassured me it was going to be alright. And then, we took ice cream and watched Netflix.Presently, I was in my kitchen making breakfast, bacon and eggs. I already put in my office wear, a black riffle cuff sheer Swiss dot mesh sleeve too and a black faux leather high- rise leggings, coupled with my black heels. Soon breakfast was ready and as I was about to make my way out of the door I heard a knock.

    Under seven minutes Eros was standing outside my door as he watched me pack some of the files I needed to finish at home. "You know you can leave those right?""Yes. But I really need to finish it." I replied as I looked at him. He had one of his hands placed inside his pocket while the other held his car key."I'm ready." I exhaled and straightened my skirt. I felt his eyes on my mid thigh and I swear his eyes were filled with lust. I cleared my throat in order to clear the awkwardness in the room.Because we have this contract between us doesn't mean I was still not attracted to him, I definitely was!He glanced up at my face and then gave me a small smile as we both made our way out of the office. Immediately we got out of the elevator, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.I couldn't stop the blush that rose to my cheeks. My colleagues all looked at us as if they just saw an alien, as if what happened this morning was e

    Five years later..."Mom! James is being an idiot right now." I heard my daughter's loud voice call from the living room. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I dusted the flour on my hands, making my way to the living room to check up on Jane and her brother.Yes, Jade and Diane eventually named her Jane."What is going on here?" I asked and then saw both of them arguing over who gets the remote."Jane does not want to turn off the TV!" James said."Why should she turn off the TV darling?" I asked as I knelt down in between both of them with the remote in my hand."Because I am trying to draw and I can not do that with that...noise coming from the TV." He groaned."That is what he could have said." I heard Jane say as she rolled her eyes.I sighed, "that should not call for arguements between both of you." I pushed the lock of hair that fell on my face. I lowered the volume of the tv and then, "better?" I asked James."Yes. Thanks Mom." He gri

    You did really good in there." Eros whispered soothingly as on of his hands massaged my head, making me feel sleepy."Thank you, for being in there with me." I gave him a small smile."We are a team, of course I will always be there with you." He placed a kiss on my forehead."Where are my babies?" I asked as I looked around the room but found their cribs empty."The nurses took them away to clean them up.""Okay.""You should sleep. You are probably tired already.""hmmn." That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep. Whoever said child birth is easy, is definitely out of his or her mind. For a second there what was running through my mind was, 'I was not going to make it. I can not push out a second child, even the first one took everything in me not to pass out. I would tell Eros to take care of my children if I die.' but I made it, I am alive with my two kids and a husband who loves me dearly.My parents told me they would be here

After that the reception was next, we all moved to where the reception was going to be held. Harry's parents invited a lot of people, including their business partners. I met Rose' family for the second time, the first time was during the preparations."When do you think we should have our own wedding?" I heard Eros say from behind me as his warm hands wrapped around my belly, pulling me closer to his body.I grinned, "when our daughter turns one."He exhaled as he put his face in-between my neck, "I can wait." He turned me towards him, so I was facing him and then, "we would have a beautiful family."I pecked him on his lips, "I know. And, I'm glad it's with you.""Me too.""Do you want to dance?" I asked him grinning."Yes, come on." We both made our way to the dance floor and then started dancing until the

    Saying I am not nervous will be a lie. I have been standing at his front door for like two minutes now. I already practiced what to say, why is it then so hard to knock on the stupid door. You can do it. You are made of steel baby.I knocked on the door and cleaned the imaginary dust on my jeans. There was no answer. I knocked again and this time I heard footsteps coming towards the door. I breathed out.The door opened, revealing Kevin. He smiled at me and I gave him a nervous smile. He probably thinks of me as a bad person. "Is he home?" I asked looking behind him. "Yeah." he answered and opened the door wider so I could enter. "Thanks." I said."He is in his room." he said leaving me alone as he went to the kitchen. I dropped my bag, but before I could climb up the stairs Kevin said, "please forgive him Janet, he made a mistake and he really needs you." he said and walked back into the kitchen.Everything was how I left it. Nothing has changed. I was scared. W

    JANET JACKSON.I woke up the next day feeling better than I have felt in days. Since I was going to Eros family's house I get to see Eros, happy that we get to settle this shit. Happy that I can get my man back. I groaned as I sat up on my bed with a missed call from Eros mother. Weird. And the message and voice note I sent to Eros, he has not listened to any of it.Well, maybe his phone is dead or something. Yeah, that should be it.I made a mental note to call Eros' back when I am done with my routine. I went into the bathroom and had my bath and made sure I shampooed my hair. I got out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed. I wrapped my fluffy white towel around my body and one around my head, so it would get dry to some point.I made my way downstairs with my phone in hand only to see that Jade and Diane were no where in sight. I picked up the yellow sticky note with Jade's handwriting she left on the fridge. We went out for a run,

    It has been two weeks last since I saw Eros. Since I smiled at him and likewise. It has been two weeks since I last felt the butterflies fluttering in my chest whenever he kisses me. And, oh, his kisses. I have been miserable this past two weeks, just sitting alone in the house and we'll, sometimes with Jade's sons, which is very streesful if you ask me. I had to quit my job and I am already planning on opening a clothing store.Today has been really weird for me. Eros stopped calling me which made me sad. My parents moved away from their old house into a more comfortable one, my mom has her own bakery, dad has his own car shop and my brother will graduate high school soon.Today is Friday and Jade is staying home with me cause she said I have been behaving weird lately. I mean why would she think that? Okay, maybe apart from the constant mood swings and all.

Joe's place was a coffee shop that Emma and I have gone to take coffee and cookies.I read the message and placed my phone back on the bed side table. I groaned as I ran my hands through my hair which was a mess right now.It was still 10am. There is still time. I got out of bed and went downstairs. I met Jade already dressed."Hey." she greeted as she sipped from her coffee."Morning." I replied as I picked up her cup and drank out of it. "I could have made another one, you know?" she said as she gave me a small smile."Sorry. I needed it." I replied as I poured myself my own cup this time."How are you doing?" She asked looking at me sympathetically. "I am fine." I said as I sipped my coffee."Are you sure?" She asked as she washed her cup in the zinc before drying it. "Yh, I am meeting Emma later today."

    I came back downstairs already changed. I missed a step which made me almost falling,but thank goodness I didn't. I saw Eros arguing with the lady. She glanced over at me and smirked. Bitch. I walked past both of them until Eros grabbed my arm. His hair was already dishveled probably from running his hands through them. "Don't.you.dare.touch.me" I seethed through gritted teeth glaring at him."Please Janet,you said nothing was going to change the way you feel about me." He pleaded softly. And, there was this visible sadness in his eyes that made my heart ache for him, for us. "Then, maybe we both lied." I shrugged. I would have given in but...he hurt me. I shook my head vigorously as more tears came down, then snatched my arm away from his grasp and then left his house...their house. I felt wetness on my cheeks...I really loved him, and I believed he loved me. I hailed a cab and told him the address of Jade, she went to her parents house but she said she would be back today and

    Eros could not tell me what he wanted to say, that was making him so tense and nervous because I slept throughout our car ride back home. When he parked his car, he opened the door to my side, the passenger seat and then carefully lifted me off my seat, but first unbuckling my seatbelt. He carried me in bridal style and then used his legs to shut the door since I was already in his arms.I knew the time he started carrying me up the stairs. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and then took in his scent. "Did you just sniff me?" He asked with a hint of amusement in his tone."No, I did not." I immediately denied it.He shook his head at me and then looked down at me with a small smile. He finally got to our room and did not bother putting on the lights since we were about to sleep. He placed me on the bed in a gentle manner and then removed my shoes even though I told him I could do it myself.He later helped me to zip down my dress and then removed it from
