Josh’s POVWhen I see her burst into the board room, a sudden rush of emotion bursts my heart, pounding in my chest. I know I've gone too far with her, and I regret it.I'm pissed as hell seeing Adam taking her to lunch; I can't function right and have to hang around, waiting for her return. I know she's expecting the meeting to be over by now, judging from the shock on her face when she realizes the meeting started when she walks in.She's been gone for two hours, and I'm scared as hell that she's going to quit. I know I can't do anything to stop her if she chooses to leave, but I can't come to terms with the fact that I won't be seeing her again.I need to make things right with her before she falls in love with Adam."I'm so sorry for being late," she said, panic evident in her voice. "I completely lost track of time."When I take a good look at her, I notice she looks a mess. She hasn't bothered with her appearance before walking in; her eyes are puffy, indicating she's been cryin

Harper’s POVA soft knock at the door heightens my anticipation. Hoping it was Josh, I opened it only to find a delivery person with a package. Disappointment strikes, but I see it as a chance to take control."Oh, a package," Ava exclaims, taking it in her hands. Shawn, Ava's boyfriend, has sent a sweet package for her. He has been thoughtful since confessing about cheating on Ava."I'm happy Ava is happy. I wish to get my groove back with Josh. He has been nothing but sweet, but this new Josh is something I don't understand. All through last night, I kept on tossing."With a heavy heart, I think about what Ava has told me, urging me to try and fix things with Josh. Tears stream down my face as I remember the happy times with him, now overshadowed by brokenness and tension.Ava notices my distress. "Are you crying?" she asks, concerned in her eyes."I'll be fine," I reply, trying to mask my emotions and rubbing off the tears flowing down freely on their own accord.My mom gives me a

Still, I continue singing with Axel, and despite the odd feeling, it is a beautiful moment. However, I still feel like someone is watching me. While singing, I look around the room, trying to figure out who it is, but with all the excitement in the karaoke corner, it is hard to tell. We keep singing, and even though I can't shake off that weird feeling, we get a roaring cheer of applause from the crowd. It is a beautiful experience.We get off stage and join the crowd. I am all smiles; I can't believe today will turn out this great. Ava, who is good at performing, goes up on stage alone and sings "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele. It is amazing! Everyone in the room stops and listens because she sings so well. When she finishes, everyone claps, gives a standing ovation, and cheers. Ava looks happy. When she gets off stage, I give her a bone-crushing hug."Ava, damn, that was good! I'm proud of you," I say as I ruffle her hair. She gives me a playful glare. Then, someone else takes the st

Josh makes me feel many emotions I can't explain in words. As I watch him drift off to sleep, his long eyelashes tickle my fancy. I move closer to him to take a good look at him, and then he smiles and draws me in closer. I spank him playfully on his chest, laughing."So, you weren't sleeping?" I say in between laughs."Nope," he replies, popping out the 'p' sound.I have to have a one-on-one conversation with him. He has let out his emotions; I feel it's my turn to express mine."Josh," I whisper.He looks at me in acknowledgment without saying a word.Words can't express how sorry I am for how everything turned out. Not trusting you enough to tell you about Nolan, how he had been pestering me with calls and all. I'm sorry for you finding out the way you did. Trust me, many times I tried to tell you, but most of the time I see how happy you are, and it breaks my heart to try to take away that smile from you.He still doesn't say anything.I'm not promising I'll be the best, but I kno

Then it occurs to me that we just made love without talking about where we stand. I chuckle, "Well, it's a bit complicated, but things are looking positive. We're taking it one step at a time."Ava raises an eyebrow. "Complicated? Do tell. I know you guys just got back together after that back-and-forth tension, but it's good to see that you are happy.""I'm optimistic about the future, and I appreciate having you and Amelia by my side."Ava hugs me. "We've got your back, Harper. Now, let's plan that girls' night and celebrate your return to the world of love."With that, I make my way to the kitchen since I'm allowed to stay home and not work. My thoughts are interrupted when my phone starts ringing. I take it out of my jeans pocket and groan inwardly when I see who is calling.I need to be upfront with him, so I swipe to answer and place the phone to my ear. "Bad timing," his voice comes through."Good morning, Adams.""Sorry, my bad. I thought you would be very busy at work now. Go
