AGAINST THE FATES A Date
She had expected Adi to take her to a casual cafe but instead, they walked into a club. Placed on the edge of the bustling city, the club was called Drai's and was known for its high-end crowd and party scene. "Adi, are they even going to let us in? You do realize that I am not exactly dressed for clubbing..." Adi shook his head and spoke," It doesn't matter. We are going to a private room here. They won't stop us." While Faith looked at him with confusion, Adi placed a hand on her lower waist and guided her into the club. The casual touch sent a burning sensation down her spine, and Faith reminded herself that she needed to get laid. It had been too long if she was getting excited with a simple hand on the waist. Once inside, they were led to a room on one of the upper floors but soon Faith was distracted by something even more. The club was known to her as being somewhat racy but the rooms up here were something else... In a word, they would be voyeur heaven. And though by no mean
AGAINST THE FATES That Next Time
Faith came home bone tired. It was new year's eve and everyone seemed to think that she would have last-minute supplies of goodies available only for them... Well, they could have ordered in advance if they were that desperate because, despite the many preparations and additional cookies and cakes that she'd made in the past week, everything had been sold out. And now even though it was only ten p.m., she was ready for bed. But as she walked towards her door, she could not help but blink at the small basket of apricot-coloured roses as well as the man holding them. She recognized the flowers of course- Juliet Roses. They were one of the rarest exquisite roses that the world had known. Looking up, she stared into the stormy eyes of the man who brought them and gave a tired smile," Are these pretty things for me, Adi?" Leaning down, he kissed her cheek and spoke," Well, I don't see anyone else here who might enjoy these Juliet roses. Wish you a happy and blessed new year ahead, Fifi."
AGAINST THE FATES It Is Time
As the two breathed raggedly trying to catch their breath, Faith felt a jolt through her. She has just committed the biggest foolishness of her life. She had promised herself just last week that she would ignore everything that she was feeling for him. They were strangers now... Her hands which had been clinging onto his shoulders pushed at him once. Adi stepped back immediately. As her eyes met his eyes, she felt singed. Never had he ever looked at her with that fire in her eyes. There had been yearning, a quiet love, an understanding but never this passion that she saw just now. "Adi..." His name came out in a whisper and Faith cursed herself. But Adi did not let her speak anymore," Fifi...It's time... don't you think?" But Faith could only shake her head from side to side, her eyes moistening. She had dreamed of this moment since she was a teenager. She had dreamed of him holding her, kissing her... being her first until she had decided to fall for another man. She had let him
AGAINST THE FATES Not Really
"Bed Friends..." The word echoed in Adi's head as he slowly chewed the last piece of shrimp he had just bitten. He would have to be careful to not choke on it.Faith looked down at her fried rice and continued to eat slowly. On the one hand, she relished the fact that she had stopped Adi's plan but on the other, she was also disappointed in his predictable reaction. He was no different from other men, so it was better she keep his memory only."Well, then would you want to continue being bed friends with him even after we start dating?"Faith choked and coughed while Adi picked up the glass of wine and sipped, covering his smile."What did you say?""I asked if you would like to continue that relationship ever after we start dating."Faith stared at him as if he had grown a second head while he continued," While I would prefer that we remain exclusive to each other, if you do not wish to break up with him, I can try to accept that."Placing down her chopsticks with a snap, Faith stood
AGAINST THE FATES The Sly and Conniving Adi
The people in the large office of Grenier- Heming Inc almost shivered as the guard informed them that Adi Grenier had arrived. While Adi had always been a cold man, they fear and chill that everyone felt had been very recent. First the man's divorce had been made public. No one in the office had even known that the man was seperated from his wife for over half a year.While everyone would have expected him to be angry or heartbroken after the divorce, like their other boss had been,Adi Grenier had seemed untouched and unaffected like other humans. But the new year seemed to have brought in a chill. Almost five days into the new year and they had almost lost so many of their colleagues. Adi Grenier semeed to be searching for slackers with a magnifying glass and swatting them out like they were flies. To save themselves, everyone had formed chat groups to let them know their boss' location once inside the office building lest they get caught.Adi Grenier walked into the building with de
AGAINST THE FATES Deflated Like A Balloon
With his chin on his palms, Ross stared at Faith, sulking hard. "Come on, Faith! You have to tell me. I know for a fact that my boss is not your ex. So, how do you know Adi Grenier? At least tell me that! And do not give me some random line! I know all the gossip! You are very close to him!" Fait licked the spoon to taste the new dessert she was trying and rolled her eyes at him," You must be awfully free to keep a check on the gossip in your old workplace." "Ha! The fact that my current boss appeared with my ex-boss, on a holiday night, at her apartment... I don't have to listen to gossip much! Getting you to talk to me took months of effort. To think you would let a strange man escort you home... Ha! So tell me..." Patting his cheek, Faith raised an eyebrow and questioned," Maybe your boss is so charming that I could not resist him." "Ha! Adi Grenier and charming? If it were Andrew, I would still believe it. But Adi Grenier! He is the one almost everyone is scared of. What charm?
AGAINST THE FATES Hello Again
Faith glanced down at her watch with a sigh as she drove towards her house. Ross had to leave early thanks to his manager calling him and now she would have to go back to a quiet house. Sigh. There was also the silly hope that Adi would be coming to see her today. Why was she thinking back to the past, she had no idea. It was just two Fridays. But the next moment, her heart thudded. Because right outside her home stood Adi, leaning against his car. Ordering her thundering heart to stay calm, she carefully parked the car and alighted. And when he walked to her, she questioned archly," What brings you here today?" "You." came the pat reply, making her pause in her step. "DO NOT BE AFFECTED, FAITH." She screamed in her mind. "Well then, you wasted your time. Also, next time you want to see me, just call me and we can fix a time and place. Don't just show up at my door. It's too stalker-ish. And I am sorry but I have somewhere to go so I won't be able to invite you in tonight." "Will
AGAINST THE FATES A Revelation
Faith gently patted him on the back before stepping away. Andrew seemed to realize that he had broken down at her front step and moved away, apologizing quickly," I am so sorry." Clearing her throat, Faith stepped inside," Come on in. Has something happened, Andrew?" As Andrew followed her in, he stopped short, taking in her appearance and the flowers that had been placed on the coffee table. "Have I interrupted something?" "Nope. I'll just go wear some clothes and we can then discuss the reason for your visit." Andrew looked down and steepled his fingers together, muttering to himself. "I don't know the reason myself." Andrew stared at the flowers and grimaced. He had been eager to talk to her like a love-sick puppy ever since he had seen her that night with RK. From curiosity about her connection with RK to jealousy over her closeness with him. Over the years, he had always thought that one day he would go back to woo her. But had never had the courage to overcome his guilt. But
