A solemn vow

‘Repeat after me', I stare at her, incredulity crossing my face as she points two fingers in the air, beside her face, she grabs my arm and makes me do the same after few moments of staring,‘I solemnly swear', I repeat her words‘To put myself first, above assholes who refuse to make their intentions clear’, I couldn’t help it, a laugh bursts from my lips and she mock glares at me.I repeat after her stifling a giggle,‘He hates me, so I hate him all the more' The giggle burst forth, and I feel lighter‘This is a serious matter', Bella bumps her fist on my upper arm, pursing her lipsI nod enthusiastically raising my fingers higher.‘I don’t care if he's treated worse than dirt', she used my earlier words and I repeat after her again‘I matter more', after I repeat it, she drops her arm,‘Let that mantra keep playing in your head', she glares at me again and I nod‘Until he says otherwise, and proves his words with actions, he remains the cowardly asshole who condemned yo

Starless depths

‘You’re late', Simon says immediately I entered, his eyes on his computer, not even sparing me a glance,‘Just…’‘Again!!!', he interrupts my prepared excuse.‘It's just 10 sec….’, ‘What's on my schedule for the rest o the day', he interrupts me again, dismissing my excuse,‘Asshole', I curse in my mind as I look through my phone for the next appointment.‘Meeting with the PR department in 30 minutes and after that you’re free',‘Good', I hear the mirth in his slightly elevated voice, surprise filling me.It quickly turns to disappointment and the change in his tone,‘So you wouldn’t have remembered that if you didn’t look at your phone', his voice drawls out, eyes still glued to his computer screen,‘Wh…what…’, I splutter out.‘Do your job properly', I stand there, mouth slightly open at this new direction he's coming from.His tone of voice and the fact that he had not even looked at me since I entered had me minutes from cursing out loud,I raise a fist and shake it i

Game of ignore

One could hear a pin drop from the silence that reigned in the room after the presentation,As Simon smiles, the presenter goes paper white, hand gripping the podium for dear life.‘Oops', the quiet sound drops from my lips in a whisper as a scoff passes through Simon's lips.Standing up suddenly, the pin drop silence is only interrupted by the sound of raucous clapping,A manic smile on his face, an icy glint in his eyes, his hands hitting each other in a mocking clap, the temperature in the room drop further.The sound stops suddenly, as quickly as it had started,‘No one goes home until you fix this nonsense', ‘Oops', the sound falls from my lips in that whisper again as Simon speaks in that bone chilling voice.He turns and walks towards the door and I stand up hurrying at his back, At the door, he turns back, eyes fixated on Miss Debra,‘Fix it', she visibly gulps at the stare and voice in her direction nodding her head like a broken doll.I hurry after him as he exi

Fairly certain doom

‘Better',Simon eyes flit across the screen of his computer, going through the files submitted by the PR department,His mouth utters the word but his eyes betrays no emotion, sliding through the pages with no traces of being impressed,I quickly text them the good news, feeling a little relief for them,With the way Simon treated them the day before, even I felt a little pity for them, and seeing the various degrees of bone crushing tiredness plastered across their faces just few hour ago fortified the said feeling.I bumped into a few of them, while I was riding the elevator to Simon's office in the morning,The looked like zombies with black eyes and rumpled clothes, they didn’t look like they got much sleep, and my lip dropped into a pout in pity for them.I even cheered them on even though I got scathing looks from said workers, but no worries, it didn’t change his much I felt for them.‘Tell them to go through with it', I nod at Simon’s words, not bothering to tell him t

Of softened looks

Despite the fact that his soft voice was messing with my head and that warm look in the endless depths of his eyes was chipping at my defenses, I couldn’t help the scoff passing through my mouth at his words,If he heard my snide comment he payed no attention to it and my scoff seemed to be soundless in his ears,Taking my eyes off the mirror, I grab his file of papers and step out, hearing the door open at his side as he steps out without waiting for me to pull the door open.Moving forward at a brisk pace, I walk into Trove without looking back at him, I wasn’t going to sit around waiting for my mind to get captivated by those eyes, for my brain to give meaning to that look.I hear his footsteps behind me, hear the receptionist welcome him, hear his muffled reply but I remain focused on getting into that elevator.Taking the elevator without him would have raised eyebrows, so I retreat into the back corner of the elevator, my eyes on his broad back stretched taut in front of

A for effort

The door slammed close, the sound reverberating through my body, echoing through his office.Hot breaths brush against my ear, tickling it and my cheeks burn brighter.The warmth radiating from his body envelopes me and still I try to get away, turning the doorknob downwards repeatedly, trying to force it open.It was pointless as his hand remained firm on the door, inches above my head pushing the door closed.I felt him lean closer to me, hot breaths, on the back of my neck now and I knew his head was bent, leaning into me.My grip on the doorknob tightens, butterflies exploding in my stomach, going on a fluttering charade as his breath tickles my neck.I felt conflicted, my body itching to turn towards him, to just get lost in his eyes, get lost in the heady feeling that was staring into those depthsBut I didn’t, I couldn’t, my hand fists tighter on the door knob I was clutching for my sanity,I just tore myself away from his addicting presence after a lot of struggle and I was n

Reminiscence

I duck out of the enclosure of his hands, watching his arms, muscular in their lengths go weak as his head droops, Ignoring the hurt in his eyes, the pain in the slump of his shoulders was hard but I put a blank look on my face, put unconcern in the light steps of my feet as I make myself comfortable on the leather seats.My eyes linger on his slumped frame, on the deep sighs exiting his mouth as he propped one hand on the door that I had just walked away from,The other hand rests in his hair, running through it repeatedly, messing it up.Pulling out my phone, I start on making reservation for the members of the PR of the department,My eyes flicker between Simon form at the door, the deep breaths he took that shook his shoulders slightly and the phone in my hand,For all my bravado, I was obviously affected by Simon’s words, made all the more evident by the fact that for the past five minutes, I had been unable to find the phone number of the restaurant I was to make a reserv

Mother, Monster

Come my dear, we need to get ready, this is a wonderful moment’ she took my hand, pulling me gently onto the bed, pulling out clothes from the shopping bag in her hands.‘You’ll be so pretty’, she giggled as she handed them to me, a peach flowered gown and matching heels.‘Put them on’, she urged me, that fake smile still plastered on her face as my hand sank into the soft fabric of the gown, my tears soaking through it.‘It was the first gift she ever gave me, the first time she bought clothes for me’, my heart broke again and again at this woman I called momWhen I kept staring, unmoving at the dress, she sits beside me taking my hands in hers and holding it towards her chest.‘Tina dear, this is an opportunity to make us proud, to pay us back for raising you, to show how much you love us’, she looked into my eyes, that smile still there,I ripped my hands away from hers forcefully, unbuttoning my shirt with shaky fingers, putting on my first gift from my mother.‘Does a daug

Deadly aura

We made our way into the Korean restaurant, behind the raucous lot that was our PR department.Getting comfortable around the large rectangular table that had been set up for our large group, I breathe in the scent of grilled beef savoring the smoky aroma.The waiters bring out the variety of meat and I take in the assorted combination, Meat, both plain and marinated, was arranged around our large table and my eyes went to the large grill, hanging from the ceiling as it gets turned on and the smell of cooking meat permeates the air.Simon said nothing as the meat started cooking and as drinks went round the table, he sipped from his glass of beer, ‘Before we start eating, this would be a nice opportunity to clink glasses to Mr. Simon Valero, the one who provided us with this premium beef’, Miss Debra raises her glass of beer and clinks it with employees around her and cheers went up, the clinking going round.Simon’s face remains a mask of indifference, only changing when Miss

And heated gazes

Warm lips crashed onto mine, a thick arm enclosing around my waist pulling me closer and my mouth drops open in shock,He takes that chance to move in, hot mouth moving against my lips,Simon kissed me with fevered passion, plundering my lips like someone starved,I don’t respond, shock turning me frozen, alarm bells going off in my head‘You hate…’, Bella’s mantra splutters into a stop when Simon whispers my name against my lips, into my opened mouth.‘Tina’, my knees went weak, and I lean into him as butterflies danced wild in my stomach at that breathy sound of my name.My bag drops from my fingers onto the granite floor as my hand goes to his hair, holding on as I kissed him with as much fervor,Our mouths moved with rekindled vigor, hot breaths between us as I savored the lingering taste of meat on his lips,He dragged me closer, vice like grip at my waist, flush against him until no crack of space was left between our bodies.Our bodies fit perfectly against each other,
