Wine Stained Lips Chapter Nine
Calla's POVJames came back up five minutes later. He walked slowly back to the table with his eyes looking from side to side nervously and sweat dripping down his neck. This collar button was undone and his tie hung loosely on his neck."Hey...what happened?" I said as a nauseating sense of concern and worry came over me. He sat down looking distracted a bit,his eyes still wandering around like he saw a ghost."Oh I think some young lad was admiring my car" he said as his hands brushed through his hair. He smiled at me and held both of my hands in his. "It's nothing the security was just worried." "Okay. Are you sure?""Yeah,I think he really like the car. The security took care of it,it's okay." He bite his lips but his assurance calmed my down.Another waiters came up to our table with our food. We got served I watched him taking in his meal slowly. His jawline moved in rhythm seductively,as his tongue licks the sauce remains from the spoon. I flickered at my thoughts of our unfini

James' POV( FLASHBACK)It was a summer afternoon in Ireland. Thirteen years old James ran around their beach house by the sea shores. He could taste the salty air as the storm gathers in the sky. He rushes into the house with his sandy feet and Vioner's Barbie doll swinging by his side. His sister chases him into the house and his runs even faster to hide away from her with her Barbie doll,when he nonchalantly bumped into one of his dad's clients. The man was tall and had a tan skin that made his appearance orange like that of an orange peel and his hair was a darker shade of brown like his shoes."Ohhh,hello lad" his Irish accent tingling in James' ears. He smiled at him and James smiled back.As James turned around to walk out of the room,he is met with the venomous stare of his father looking down at him. He looks at James with an obvious anger but no words fell from his mouth. James completely frightened,runs out and hide in the next room.James eventually gets caught in his chil

Calla's POV "Hey Calla,I need you help on this" Julie announces as she walks into my office. She had a measuring tape around her neck and she was barefoot. She hands me a vouge magazine that was turned to page 47. There is a picture of Zendaya and the other cast of euphoria with glittery eye makeup and a review of it as a retrospective fashion comeback."Ermmm..." I stood confused as my eyes couldn't help but stare at her feet--- she was barefooted. A little sigh of frustration left her mouth and she walked closer to me."Ohh ,don't ask. I ordered a new shoe and it's a size smaller and there's no return policy but it matches my dress and it's A LIMITED ZARA EDITION!" Her voice going from low frequency to a force of busting enthusiasm.Typical Julie,I chuckled at her randomness. She was more of a friendly colleague than a boss. It was just her being the nerodivergent ray of sunshine she is. "Sure,what do you need help with?" I asked ."We already contacted models to walk the show for

James' POV"Hello ladies" I greeted as they walked towards my car. Calla rolled her mum's oxygen tank beside her as she assisted her mother's slow steps up to the house."Hi" Calla said as they walked by me,she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before continuing to pull the oxygen tank behind her. Her mum,who walked beside her looked at me and immediately lower her gaze."Hello James" she said. Not a hint from her tone could give away the intense curiosity between us based on our conversation from nights ago. She looked weaker than the last time I had seen her. Her arms were lanky and she wore a yellow beanie on her head. Her brows were scanty and she seemed exhausted.I followed behind them, taking the tote bag Calla hung on her shoulders and carrying the oxygen tank through the stires in the front pouch leading to the house. An art work poked out of the bag and it was like a canvas of some sort.The smell of condiments filled the house immediately we walked in."Hiiii" aunty Kathy a

Calla's POVI waited by the door as my feet eagerly tapped on the wooden floor at the entrance of the hospital ward. The light beamed brightly ,the smell of drugs and disinfectant pollutes the air, making it hard to breathe. The sirens noise echoes from an ambulance in a distance,making my nervous system a complete wreck. I held back the tears in my eyes and prayed to God desperately. The door swung open and the nurse came out. A flatter of relief consumed me as she gave me a little smile. Thirty minutes--- Thirty minutes had felt like a lifetime of waiting.I hate it here,it held bad memories."You can go in to see her" she said, stepping aside for me to go in. I went in a rush as my heart melted at the sight of my mother laying helpless on the bed. She smiled,but it wasn't the type that reached her eyes. I took her in my arms hugging her softly. "It's alright" I said comforting her and mostly to myself from letting my thoughts run wild.About an hour ago, Mum had collapsed when maki

James POV The smell of caffeine reminded me of my childhood. Dad would come by my room at night with cup of coffee to stop me from sleeping in order read.He says I was going to continue the family business and I need to know how finance ,so I studied fiance. I remember the stread fogging up the windscreen glass as he drove me to school,my motion completely reliant on my five hours of sleep.I pulled out my gray trouser from the locker and change into them. I stared at the slightly noticable stain of cream on my black trouser. She definitely spilled it on purpose,ever since my breakup with Ashley in December,it has been going on around here like this. My mind eguled with thought of Calla,the fashion girl I had stormed out the office from. She had a spark in her eye,the kind that made you feel like you've known someone for years beyond imaginable. Her soul was comforting yet ,threatening. Maybe I overreacted. To be fair,Dad would have done that. Dad said you have to command respect

Calla's POVI watched through the glass door of my office as James stood across from Julie's office which had a good sight as it was opposite to mine. He held a can of soda. He head turned to my direction,he waves at me and I smiled in return. Julie's yellow jacket stood out at the corner of my eyes, distracting. She was backing my office and I couldn't stop looking back in their direction.She had a key holder on her hand which she dwindles carelessly while her hands moved scattered around, describing whatever it was they were talking about. Julie was fond of that. Whatever they were talking about,if was thrilling for her. Even though I couldn't see her face,I could tell a big smile was spread from both of her ears.The first time I noticed was when I came to Halt Fashion as an intern five years ago. I began my job as a Vogue writer for fashion trends,but she eventually promoted me to become one of the creatives,when she came across my drawing book. Her creative vision has since ch

James POV It's been four days and thought of rooftop kept coming back to me, leaving me reckless. It wasn't just the tension,it was the fear in her eyes when she looked back at me before leaving. I reached out to her but she didn't reply. She definitely hated me. She must have felt ashamed. Calla Grayson's footprint stained the pages of my story. I lurked through Halts fashion Pinterest page and came across a picture from five years ago. It was 2016,one direction had just began their indefinite hiatus and skinny jeans was still a thing. There it was,a picture of Calla from collage. It was a selfie with a Snapchat filter,the type with cat ears. She wore a stripe shirt and her hair wasn't brown with blonde highlights, it was the color or autumn leaves. I zoomed it, thirsting for more details on what can possibly be so endearingly magnetic about her. My hands almost dropped the phone when I receive a call from Vinora. Her voiced rings in my ear when I picked up the phone. She was enth

James' POVI couldn't make an appointment yesterday so I went into the hospital first thing the next morning. My head ran a marathon today from my last conversation with dad but i was also busting with the thoughts of Calla' mum getting treatment and how Calla wouldn't have to worry about losing her mother. As I approached the doctor's office I was directed to the doctor in charge."Hello Doc." I stretch my hands out for a handshake. I'm met with a tight grip. "Please,sit down" his gesture at the seat beside me and sat down too at the opposite of the table. He sat down,his eyes refusing to meet with mine. " Sonny, I'm sure your Aunty already told you.""My Aunt?""The blond woman... aren't you here for Mrs Grayson?. It says here patient--Hannah Grayson."A loud puff, escaped my mouth unconsciously " Yes,I'm here to see Mrs Grayson, Doc is there some kind of problem?" I said wearily." What I'm saying is you can't make the donation you're here for because it's already out of control. S

Calla's POV"Is it just me or sequels aren't as interesting as the original movie?""But Harry Potter was pretty good" I looked up "oh yeah" I said before approaching the coach again with another bag of potato chips. I popped myself beside James flung my feet on his laps. He pulls on my pink socks dramatically before laughing."What?""Nothing...""What?""Just observing...that's my job remember?" He said,before tearing open the bag of chip. "Will your Boss find this type of observation appropriate for the company?" I said raising my feet to his face as he playful pushes it away. He crawled over me and kissed my cheek before returning back to his position and fixing his gaze on the movie playing on the TV. "Three hours again you did try to kill me." He gaze still fixed on the TV as he puts a hand full of chips into his mouth.I smiled "But I didn't,did I?" A buzz came from my phone on the little lamp stand by the coach. I streach to reach it and it was an alarm I had set earlier f

James' POVI stood by her door and for the first time i felt completely useless. Calla snuggle her blanket tighter as I gave her one last look before leaving her room. The past 24 hours had been a complete spiral in her world and it killed me that I couldn't make it better. I walked out of her house and drove straight to see my Dad. Luckily,he was in Boston for a meeting.It was a quarter past 10 when I pulled up in the drive way of the hostel he rented. I placed a call but he didn't respond so I went straight to the lobby to ask to see him."You don't understand I need to see him right?" I pleaded urgently to the manager "Sir,I'm afraid I can't disclose the information about our guest" he said "Your guest? He owns the damn thing!" I said getting paranoid "Look, Jimmy... you've known me forever,you have to give me his card, it's an emergency ""James, your dad said I shouldn't let anyone up---" his forehead squeezed in his failed attempt to sympathize with me."Oh just give me the c

Calla's POVA loud noise rang in my head as tears began to fall from my eyes. My legs were weak making my body heavy to carry,I collapsed on the floor beside the bed. The room was spinning and all I could think of was what had happened to my mother. I wanted to be with her. The rain splattered hard on the window steel and the sound of thunder echoes tremendous. My blurry vision could only amplify James running towards me as I began to cry profusely.He wrapped his arms around me and sat on the floor with me. "It's okay.. it's okay..." He mutters as he used his fingers to softly brush through my hair. A few minutes later,my bitter tears was replaced with silence and the pouring rain was replaced with cool breeze slightly hitting the windows. I sat up and I could feel James hands releasing me. He had a towel tied around his waist. He got up and began to wear his pants back. I tried to stifled the flush of adrenaline rush that consumed me. One moment,I was worshipping his body and the
