Other women

The first few days after the merger were hectic, Simon’s schedule was packed full which resulted in me working overtime most of the time,‘I’m sorry, I know how much you like going home on time’, Simon turns to tell me the moment we arrive back in Trove after a meeting 2 hours away from the company.Despite the fact that he was stressed out from the unending conversation with the young blond woman whose name I learned was Veronica Maxwell,She was the young CEO of the only company that could stand to par with SM and Simon wanted to meet her to make an investment into her new Tech company.The meeting had started with an intense stare down, where they both sized each other up,She finally broke the stare with a smile, brushing back the messy strands of her almost-white hair and stretching her hand out for Simon to shake.They both settled down to steak and wine and as I watched them only one question reigned in my head.‘What was it with rich people and smiling even when they’re raging

Straight from nightmares

The next morning as I stare at my beloved white ceiling, I notice something as changed,Firstly, I couldn’t find that square shaped faded spot on my ceiling, or the sparse streaks of pure white among my ceiling, I look to the side to see the tendrils of dawn that I was once accustomed to, to see it as full blown streaks of sunlight spilling across my bedroom floor.It was a welcome change, the fact that I slept better, I didn’t wake up just few hours after sleeping only to stare, frustrated,It was a happy change I noticed, one that had me smiling as I got ready, never mind the side- eyed looks that Ajax was giving me.Apply makeup on, I notice the bags under my eyes were fading and I no longer needed to apply a thick layer of powder to hide it.It was wonderful, healing my heart, letting go of built up hatred that had lasted six years long.‘Mum, what has you smiling like that’, Ajax finally stops with suspicious looking, opting to confront me directly.‘Don’t tell me you got a husb

Newest addiction

Simon’s POVThe day before.‘I find myself smiling more often days’, my eyes were fixed on the screen of a computer, various sections of it, showing numerous footages of different places, in so many angles.‘I think this is my newest addiction’, despite the vast number of footages, my eyes were fixed only on a select few.The ones that had Tina in them.I was in the control room of Bells department store, watching Tina,The statement sounded creepy in my head but it was just hard to resist.The moment I entered, one look from me had sent the security personnel scurrying out.Not that they had a choice, after all I was paying the estimated amount of sales the store made in a day.When you payed close to a half a billion dollars just to spend a few hours in a department store, even the ground you walk on becomes gold.Remote in hand, I enlarge the section containing Tina so that it took up the whole screen.Watching her was me newest addiction,It sounded creepy, even to me, but it was

Simple and short

Simon’s POV I slide into the passenger’s seat as Tina takes the wheel, bringing the car out of the parking lot.Sliding my phone out of my pocket, I unlock my phone sliding to a debit alert from the bank,‘Not that it was a ridiculous amount leaving my account, but the recipient was one that bothered me, or rather who the recipient reminded me of.The debit alert was of the monthly payments going to the private detective I hired to find Sarah,‘Staring at the message, I realized that for the first time in a while, I could admit without feeling guilty that I didn’t even want to find her’I could admit it, without my heart feeling like it was going to tear out of my chest, without that fevered feeling that took me whenever I thought about Sarah.I could finally admit that Sarah was nothing but an annoyance without it breaking me apart.I could see my stupidity, see the rightness in my mother’s words when I thought about the years of our unfortunate relationship.It was hard, admitting

Apathetic

Simon’s POVThe next morning comes with the realization that I’ve developed another addiction, as I stare out the window of my hotel room at the restaurant across the street,It had been hard to keep my eyes away from it, since the time I discovered that Tina visited frequently,Despite knowing that she could not be there, seeing as it was early morning and she would be making her way to work by now, still I couldn’t take my eyes off, hope turning me stupid.With a shake of my head I remind myself that I would be seeing her at work and I should probably get moving before I get late. On my way out, my phone rings in my hand as I try to place it in my pocket,From the caller ID, I see it’s the detective and I pick it up at the second ring,‘What is it, any news on the background check’, impatience rings in my voice as I speak to him.‘Not that Mr. Valero, I know you told me to stop looking for her, but she just popped up on my radar’, I take in a deep breath, frustration filling me up,

Interchanging emotions

Another tired sigh rack through me and I run my hands through my hair, turning back to my office, walking in and heading to my desk,‘I hope Tina got home okay’, ‘Don’t walk away from me’, as I passed by Sarah on the way to my desk, she spits, glaring at me.Scoffing, I continue my journey, plopping down onto the chair, leaning back and looking at her in impatience.When she doesn’t speak, impatience gets the better of me, ‘What do you want Sarah’She jumps up immediately at my words, stomping over to my table, ‘You’re finally talking to me, right, you’re finally looking at me’, she bites out, staring at me through narrowed eyes,‘When I got in here, you didn’t even look at me, you couldn’t show how much you missed me, you didn’t even try’, she voice rises as she talks and still I look at her with that slight purse of lips,‘I missed you so much I couldn’t even breathe and yet you can’t even show me you love me’,‘Instead you only have eyes for her, you behaved like I didn’t exist

A walk down memory lane

Simon’s POV‘Actually you have a lot of things you’re hiding don’t you’, I smirk as I watch her countenance fall, the crazed look dissolving into fear,‘I did it for you, I did it for you’, her voice shakes, her fingers vibrating against each other.‘Yes, I heard you the first time’, a sneer is on my face and I was not bothered by the fact that she was breaking apart in front of me,‘I’ve listened to your deceit so many times without count’‘You know I should have listened to mother, when she told me that you killed someone, but instead I believed you, I believed your crocodile tears over my mother’My mind takes a little spin down memory lane, remembering the day my mother barged into my college apartment, crazed, and with one goal in mind.That day had started off amazing, with Sarah showing up at my apartment, after years of us being separated,My mother had shipped her off to the other side of the country, getting her adopted by a family over there.Imagine my happiness, the joy i

Secrets

Simon’s POVComing down from memory lane, I cringed so hard at the recollection of my words professing love, goose bumps erupting along my skin at the fact that my mother was right.My eyes skim along the contents of the email again, as I watched the same unfixed stare graces her face, the same fear fill her eyes,‘It was a mistake and I did it to get to you, so I could come back to you because I loved you’, her fingers shake and clatter against each other as she speaks.It looked so believable, if I had not being in this position before I would have believed her, if I was not currently staring at her evidence I would have fallen for the same trick.Instead I scoff, ‘You should stop with the fearful eyes you know, this isn’t my first rodeo’, a smirk lines her lips when she drops the act, her eyes back to one lined with fury,‘Good, now that we’re both being honest with each other, let me enlighten you on what actually happened seeing as your memory seems to fail you’. ‘You clung unt

Brown haired beauty

God I’m so hungry’, I recline in my chair, raising my hands to place them at the back of my head,I bask in the silence of my office, peace in my heart.Peace from finally being free from a long term nuisance,‘My attention shifts to how I would face my mother, when she discovered Sarah was out of my life, I could already imagine the triumphant smile on her face, the word ‘I told you so” rolling out of her mouth.I already had to deal with one of those knowing looks, the morning of the opening ceremony.I had told her I wanted to keep working in Trove and the first word to come out of her mouth was “I knew it”,‘I knew you would finally come around’, I had sucked it up and listened to her minutes of ranting,‘I guess things are going well with you and Tina then’, she gave me a knowing look, conniving smile on her lips,‘This is not about Tina’, I refused immediately,‘This is about me, what I want for myself’,‘I’m tired of people telling me that I was handed everything I have on a s

Drunken attraction

Simon’s POVShe looks at me, my words sinking in, taking root in her mind and I see tears, blossoming in her eyes, running down her cheeks,‘You’re fine now, you’ll be fine’, I pull her into my embrace as the tears roll down silently,After a while, I hold her at arm’s length, my eyes on her tear streaked face, I bring her face towards mine kissing the tears on her cheeks, kissing her eyes still filled with tears, She draws closer to me, wrapping her hands around my neck, and crashing her lips on mine.My arms wrap around her waist, dragging her closer to me,I kissed her, she kissed me, our lips danced together with a fever, trashing against the other as I pulled her even closer, till there wasn’t a breath of air between us.My lips teased hers and she sucked mine as I dragged her up my body, tilting her head back a little, plundering her lips further,Her mouth cracks open wider as she moans into mine and my tongue delves in, sliding into her mouth, tasting every corner,My tongue
