All Chapters of He Stole My Heart: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I went to my room and kept scrolling through Instagram when I received a group video call from Mandy and Reeva. Unknown anxiety raced through my heart. I picked the call and said in fake enthusiasm, "Hey girls, how are you both?""Hi," mandy replied in a dull voice."Are you two even worthy of being called a friend? It's been 3weeks and you both went MIA on me. No call no message." Reeva growled on the other side of the phone making me gulp."A lot was going on. I was a bit busy." I told them."No matter how busy you are, you at least got to reply to my texts. I was worried when both of you didn't reply." Reeva said exasperated.Okay, this is it. This is where I tell them that I got married. Better now than never."Honestly what happened is.." I was cut by Mandy."I broke up with my boyfriend." She sniffled."What?" I and Reeva shouted together. As far as I know, they are crushing on each other since middle school

The sound of an annoying alarm woke me up. I checked my surroundings. It is still dark outside, why do we have to start at 5?  I'm sleeping using Jason's arm as my pillow. We are hugging each other in sleep. What is wrong with me? There is a fucking pillow abandoned on my side of the bed. I strained my hand to switch off the alarm blaring from the phone lying on the bedside table beside Jason. A little bit more and I can reach it. "What are you doing?" Jason's raspy voice startled me. "Trying to molest me while I was sleeping?" "Eww. I am trying to switch off your alarm. If you will leave me then I want to freshen up and go for coffee. I badly need one to stay awake." I told him shoving his arm from my waist. I went to my room and brushed my teeth. Jason called me to get my coffee. He stood with a tray with two steaming mugs of coffee. We sat on the wooden wicke

It's weird how we both tried sleeping on our ends of the bed last night but ended up in the middle together. I wriggled out of his hold to get ready for the day's activities. Is this our new normal?The tension and awkwardness decreased a bit compared to the previous night but were still there. We spent the whole day sightseeing walking through buildings with the rich architecture and spice markets. And making pit stops to have some food in our system.We didn't do our mindless rambling but at the same time didn't stay silent. It's like how two acquaintances spend time together, not too comfortable to talk anything but not awkward either.One particular evening, we went on a Dhow boat cruise just to witness the beautiful sunset in the Indian ocean. Sailing on a traditional dhow along the coastline of Zanzibar. Snacks, beer, and soft drinks were served by the staff.Soft music played in the background as th

"Hey Jessica"I stood by her lone desk just outside Jason's cabin, away from our cubicles. She wore a white dress shirt and black pencil skirt and matched it with black stilettos. Her usual loud makeup is replaced by a soft natural look accentuating her already sharp features.She looked beautiful, beautiful than me and it didn't go well with me."Oh My God! Amy! How are you? Are you here to see Jason, just a second."Before I could cut her, she picked the phone on her desk and spoke, "Hey Jay! Look your little wifey is here to see you. I'm sending her in."My eyeballs socked out of my pockets. I looked back at the interns. I sighed in relief as none paid attention to us and were lost in their files. I turned back to Jessica, scowled at her.And did she just call me his little wifey!The people here already dislike me, thinking I used contacts and

The weather looked gloomy today. The sun didn't shine enough and the lovely song sung by the birds is also missing. Or maybe it is just my depressing mood.I got ready for college and dragged myself down the stairs with my bag and the charts that we have to submit today in Architecture class.I was welcomed by the strong aroma of coffee. Jason is flipping the pancakes in the kitchen. Am I still asleep? I rubbed my eyes and saw him still cooking.Why is he rushing his breakfast like every day? Shoving spoonfuls of cereal to finish it and rush off to the office?"You okay?'' I asked him alarmed. Did he hit his head when we are wrestling for the remote the other day?"I'm preparing breakfast for you. You are taking the day off from college and work. We can stay at home and watch movies or we can go out shopping. I swear I won't complain this time." He said pouring syrup on the stack of pancak
