Raquel’s POV
I tried my best to focus on myself and my work. Stephanie was really helpful in keeping me on work mode. She wasn't as helpful this week due to the wedding planning though. Paul is quite persuasive. He kept sending flowers every day since our date. He also kept calling and texting. I decline his calls and ignore his texts. I wasn't being heartless. I just don't want to give him hope.
"Just act surprise when you see him." Claire stated when we got to the gallery.
"I am not. You know I can’t act."
"Fine. Let's look for Javier."
"Okay."
"Congratulations." Claire embraced Javier.
"Thank you. You did all the hard work all I did was paint." He replied.
"Don't be modest. Your work is magnificent." Claire replied.
"Claire is right. You have amazing artworks. Congrats." I embrace him.
"Thank you. Look around and if you see anything you like just let our staff know."
Rustin's POV I tried to get things done but it was going nowhere. I went out to meet other girls but they were incomparable to her. Raquel had casted a spell on me. She was all I can think of. "I should go see her." I stated as Claudette, Theo and I were inspecting the new furniture that arrived. "Who?" Theo asked. "Raquel, I think I should see her." "That's what I've been telling you since she left. You should reach out to her. You obviously like her." Claudette responded. "Do you think I should call her first?" "You should just go see her." Theo answered. "If you call her you will just get mad at her for leaving. I know you. You are still mad at her for not saying goodbye. At least when you see her you might feel better seeing her." Claudette stated. "I think I just need closure. I want to know the truth why she left. I have to know if I drove her away." "That's in the past. What
Raquel’s POV I felt better after three days. I didn't take any medicine. I just rested and avoided seeing anyone. I went to our regular Thursday dinner with James and Claire. I wasn't surprise when I saw Paul with them. "I am alive. You guys worry too much." I announced. "You barely get sick. Of course, I'll be worried." Claire replied. "Oh please. I am fine. I think I just ate something that upset my stomach that night. I think it was stomach flu or something." "You look good." Paul smiled at me. "I always look good. Are you part of our Thursday dinners now?" I teased. "No, I had dinner with my colleagues and I saw James and Claire. They said you were coming so I waited to say hi." He replied. "Good to know. You already said hi." I stated playfully. "I should get going." He stood up. "You should stay." Claire butted in. "What would he do watch us eat dinner? He said that h
Raquel’s POV We started eating and I can't help looking at his direction every once in a while. He is actually here. He came to see me. Does he like me? Did he really come to New York just for me? I can feel him looking at me as well and every time he caught me looking at him I just look away and try to eat. "Raquel, am I making you uncomfortable?" "No, I still can't believe your here." "I can't believe I am here. I mean, I have no idea what to expect when I see. You left without saying goodbye. What was your emergency that you couldn't wait for even a few hours to at least tell me your leaving?" "Well, it was a work emergency. I told Claudette to tell you." "I'm not buying that bullshit. Did I do anything wrong? Did I drive you away? I thought we had something." He was starting to get mad I can feel it. "I'm sorry." "For what?" He exclaimed frustrated. "For leaving. I don't know what was going
Rustin’s POV"Hi." I greeted her."Rustin?" She looked at me like she had seen a ghost."You still remember me. I thought you forgotten about me when you left without even saying goodbye." I replied without thinking."What are you doing here?" She looked so confused."I knew this was a mistake. I should leave." "Hey, I'm just surprise your here." She stopped me."I get it. Your back in your world and I should be in my island far away from you. I should have called but that would have been an awkward conversation. I should have realized that this is far more awkward showing up here unannounced." I blurted out."Let's not have this conversation here. Would you like to get up my apartment? I think I need to sit.""Are you okay?" I asked worriedly seeing how pale she suddenly looked."I suddenly felt dizzy." I assisted her and wrap my arms around her waist. "Is she okay?" Damon approached us. "She seems to be not feeling well. I'll help her get to her apartment." I responded."Are you
Raquel’s POV "Can you get up?" He asked as he sat down. "I can't feel my legs." I replied. "Really?" He smiled at me wickedly. "You can't feel this." He started to run his hands on my inner thighs. "Rustin." I moaned when his finger touched my core. "Was I too rough?" He asked as he started to insert his finger in my core. "Please stop." I arch my back as he started to put another finger in me. "Just relax." He stated before his head disappeared in between my head. "I hate you." I exclaimed after I was able to catch breathe. "No, you don't." He smiled at me while wiping off my juice on his lips his thumb. "You taste like heaven." He stated after sucking his thumb and I just swallowed. "Can you get up?" He asked as he put on his boxers. "I don't think so." I replied shaking my head. "I don't think I can move. I'm sore." "Here." He assisted me so I can sit up the he put his s
Rustin’s POV"You seem to be enjoying yourself." Raquel announced her present as I was swimming."You're all dressed up. Are you going somewhere?" I replied."Do you prefer me walking around butt naked with just your shirt on?""Is that a trick question?" I got out of the pool and stand in front of her."Here." She handed me a towel and just stared at me as I dried himself."It's rude to stare. Say something or do something." I felt like I was under a microscope and it's bothering me."What? Don't act like you’re not used to having someone stare at you." She replied still staring at me."It's different when you’re the one staring at me. It's like have something in mind that you want to say but refuse say. It's bothering me." I admitted."You think too much." She smiled at me and I just wanted to kiss her. "I'll put your clothes in the washer and let’s leave your shoes
Raquel's POVI sat in my bathroom floor waiting for the fifth pregnancy kit to show the result. I know it's ridiculous. The other four pregnancy test confirmed that I was pregnant. It's not like the fifth one would make any difference. I'm pregnant. Rustin and I are going to have a baby. How can I be so careless? How can I let this happen? Well in my defense, he is a walking sex god. He might have assumed I was on birth control. Thinking of it we had more unprotected sex than the times he used a condom. I can't really blame it all in him. It's not like I made any objections. I let him fuck me unprotected earlier for crying out loud.I can raise this child on my own. My mom raised me as a single mom. I turn out pretty good. I can't be upset over something that was technically bound to happen. We were practically having sex most of the time we were alone. It just didn't cross my mind that I can get pregnant and now I am. So I made a doctor's appoin
Raquel’s POVI went home hoping that Claire and James finally decide to push through with their wedding. The receptionist on my building told me that Claudette and Rustin where looking for me. She gave me Claudette's contact info and I asked her to added them on my guests list. I immediately called her and she told me she is coming over. I asked her not to bring Rustin."Hey, I'm so happy to see you again." Claudette embraced me."Me too. I never thought I'll see you here in New York." I replied we chat and catch up."Rustin asked me and Theo to come here with him. He was quite broken hearted when you left." Claudette stated after almost an hour of catching up."He told me. I don't know what to do." I admitted."He got really wasted yesterday. He was upset that you might be seeing someone.""Does he even have the right to be upset?" I blurted out. "I mean; it's not like we had an agreement. We
