"Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give."
~Bertrand Russell
I did nothing that would have indicated or pointed a finger towards harassment when I went to his office two weeks ago. If anything, he was the one coming on to me with his dirty words and filthy compliments and he has the nerves to sue me?!
Julian goes to the DVD player that we normally use to plan project plans and a location during meetings and he placing the disc in, he presses on the close button and it begins to load.
I cross my arms over my chest and wait to see what I did to Rogue that is being crowned at sexual harassment. The video begins to play and it's like I predicted, it was when I went to him two to offer him a deal because I that was the only time I was ever in his office as it's being shown on the screen now.
I watch as his eyes droppe
"I love her passionately with a morbid intensity; madly as one can only love a woman who never responds to our love with anything but an eternally uniform, eternally calm, stony smile."~Leopold Von Sacher MasochAs I wrap up for the day to take my leave, my phone begins to ring. I bring it out and the caller ID is Alexzander and I immediately know why he's calling. I answer the call and place it to my ear,"Hey Z.""Hey, Alex where are you?" He asks, his voice wry and a little confused.I get up from my window and stare at the streets light and cars making and horning their way through traffic at night and to a point, it does look peaceful and beautiful from the fourth floor where my office is. I long for my car to be o
"I could feel the warmth of his presence as if a soft blanket had been wrapped around my soul, around my heart. It held me and protected me. It sheltered me and I knew I wasn't alone anymore."~Colleen Houck"Morning Alex?" Zander questions as he enters into the kitchen where I just finished doing the dishes and I'm presently cooking, but I'm going to take his question as a greeting and move on.I turn to him with a wide beam on my face, "Hey Z, you're not looking too bad for an early morning." I commend before turning to the carrot, green pepper and egg sauce on the cooker frying."What are you doing in the kitchen Alex?!" Explodes Zander with an unholy curiosity.I glance at him with a raised brow, "This is my house right?""Exactly why
"Sex is like washing your face - just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it." - ~Sophia LorenI knew this will happen, but at least he found a way to untie himself and leave office without being noticed. Right? Right?The rest of the day went by with me trying not to let myself think too much. I try to work on some files and see my working schedule which I made Reuben bring over to the house, but the more I tried to focus the less I could. Knowing at the back of my mind that Rogue was going a get even with me and do worse than I ever did to him made me uneasy.I finished with my files and paperwork and I pick up my schedule and glance at it. Trying to know what appointments I've missed these pas
"Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family."~Trenton Lee StewartI see Zander standing at the side of the hall with a blank face, holding a bottle of wine in his left hand and I walk up to him. "I thought you'd be with Havana.""You did that on purpose didn't you? Slam the cameras to my face without a heads up!""Z, I?" I start but run out of things to say.His eyes are red and the fury in his eyes I have never seen before, "Everything was going fine with Havana and I, and we were getting to know each other better and then you went up there and told everyone that I'm your twin brother so what do you think me telling Havana that I like her will be for her?""I don't know Z, I honestly didn't think of that aspect."He laughs painfully, "Of course you don't, you never think Ale
I can no longer think of anything but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you. I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me.Honore de BalzacHis hands are in his pocket and he has a not so happy look on his face as he demands, "What part of come 'find me' did you not get gatita?""The part where you became a needle in a fucking haystack!" I retort which makes me feel good and want to give myself a high five."Sassy gatita, the needle might be small but a slight pierce will make you bleed." He counters crudely.I swallow hard and look away because to an extent I know he doesn't mean this literally and I think I know what's he's talking abo
'Passion' a word which involves so many feelings. I feel it when we touch; I feel it when we kiss; I feel it when I look at you. For you are my passion; my one true love.S. Richardson"Is there anything to do?" I ask, joining Zander in the kitchen. He seems to be busy with the cleaning of the toaster and microwave."There are a few," he answers, pointing to the dishes in the sink. It is the weekend and Lauren doesn't come on weekends so we do all the work ourselves and so without any sort of complain, I move over and do the work, "I must ask, what happened to you?"I understand his question and so I don't try to act like I don't. "I guess I realise that I have spent the past two years buried in work and let's be honest these are the years that I have to have fun.""What's speaking through you Alex," he grabs me by my shoulder and shakes me violently and if it wasn't Zander shaking me, I would
"We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste. When it is finished, it is not finished, we lie still in each other's arms lulled by our love, by tenderness -- sensuality in which the whole being can participate."~Anais NinFor the next three hours that pass, I bury myself in paperwork and I don't stop until my phone begins to ring. I drop my pen and pick up my phone and on it is the name Zack as the caller ID.I smile warmly, pick the call and place the phone to my ear, "Hello Zack."There is a hesitation before he speaks up, "Hey Alex, you okay?""I am okay, but you on the other hand sound like you're not," I state with a curious tone. "Is everything okay Zack?""Yes," there is still a hesitation in his answer and unsureness in his voice. "I wanted to talk to you about last night." He trails off."Okay?" I drag out wanting him to continue.
"Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won’t settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn’t take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It’s an offering. A gift."~Craig SilveyA painful feeling sets in my chest and my voice only comes out a little to ask, "You're leaving?"He keeps bringing his clothes and shoving them into the bag, not bothering to looks at me, "What does it look like?"Watching him pack his stuff together is painful much more painful than I can ever imagine, "Because I hit you?"He turns to me with an astonished look, but his eyes are glassy, "Jesus Christ Alex! After everything that has happened in the last thirty minutes hitting me is the only reason you see?""It's because of Rekiya then, because
