Jake was having a hard time breathing with Maddie so close to him but he was doing a pretty good job hiding it. From the moment she had stepped down the stairs looking so drop dead gorgeous back at the mansion, she had literally taken his breath away even up to this very moment. Although his son had sent him a picture of her in this very same dress, he couldn't help but admit that the picture held no candle to how she looked in the dress in person. With the way she was always dressed so casually in mostly pants or jeans and t-shirts or vests, one wouldn't have known she possessed such feminine curves, which the dress she had on now highlighted perfectly. Her chocolate brown hair was braided and held up in a bun with a few strands left to hang loosely down her hair on both sides of her face in a stylish manner. The make-up she was wearing was light, the peach lipstick and the way she kept pursing her lips every now and then was goddam inviting. The woman before him was undeniably bea

Maddie spent literally the whole night tossing and turning in bed, her mind was a chaotic mess. What just happened back at the living room with Jake? She kept asking herself. She didn't understand… She could understand her own anger, she had always been quick to lose her temper. Well, not always as she used to be quite tolerant and even slightly timid back when she was a kid even up until high school but ever since high school, ever since what happened to her back then, her whole personality had undergone a huge change. Her therapist had said it was a coping mechanism. Her quick temper. Maddie didn't even know if she agreed with her. Why had Jake dropped the honorifics with her? He had done the same even back then, that night she had first flared up at him. Back then he had addressed her by her name informally like he had today. Why had he done that? No… He couldn't peradventure be developing feelings for her could he? Digging her fingers into her hair to pull on it lightly, Madd

The atmosphere was serene. Only the sounds of cutleries clinking against plates could be heard in the dining room. "Eat some more my Cutie pie," Mrs Georgia Conat, Jake's mother and grandmother to Andrew spoke to the lad who was sitting across of her. She added more food to his plate as she spoke. Andrew just smiled at her and continued to eat his meal. Georgia Conat was blonde like her son and grandson but unlike their ocean blue eyes hers was jade green. She had quite a small frame but was energetic and fit. "You too eat some more, look how skinny you have become from overworking yourself," she turned to her son Jake who was sitting directly next to her to say, adding some food to his own plate as well. "Thanks mother," Jake said to his mother with a smile, and then continued eating. She smiled and turned to her food to take a bite. "I hear you hired a new nanny for my grandson. I hope she isn't as dumb as the last few ones?" Georgia asked Jake as he grabbed a glass of water and

"You didn't have to resort to violence Audrey," Maddie said to Audrey as the car moved smoothly down the highway. Audrey spared Maddie a quick glance on hearing Maddie's words but her gaze returned to the road ahead almost immediately. "I wasn't going to but the dude just wouldn't back off… The nerves of him! He is lucky I didn't target that disgusting member beneath his legs that just couldn't stay in its place!" came Audrey's reply and Maddie couldn't help but burst into laughter. Audrey joined her. "It was really fun to watch you kicking his a** I must admit," Maddie said in between laughter. "I know right!* Audrey muttered and the two girls burst into another round of laughter as a similar memory started to play on both their minds. It was the memory of the first day the two girls had met. **Flashbacks of about six years ago** Maddie was a freshman in college, still trying to settle in and all. It was the early hours of the morning and she had just concluded lectures for the

"Is that even a reason?" Maddie couldn't help but ask. Jake shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "For me it is. At least that way my mouth would hurt less." Maddie scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief, was he serious right now? "If that's the case then I would call you Jake," she stated and he frowned, his cold ears piercing into her warm ones. "Umm, I was kidding. Of course I can't call my boss by his name," Maddie spoke in a voice that shook, ending with a nervous chuckle. Just why had she said that? She chidded herself internally, avoiding his gaze. It hit her ears rather too softly, caressing it even, the light sound of his laughter in the next second. She almost didn't believe it. And when she looked at him to confirm if it was indeed him that had laughed, his face that had turned expressionless further increased her doubts. However, she knew that she had really heard him. He had laughed! She smiled. "Here," Jake said, he was stretching out an envelope to her. He hadn
