Accidentally in love The only good deed
Chloe“Why did you do it?” Oh, God. His voice sounded better than I remembered, raising goosebumps all over my skin. ‘Really, Chloe?! Ogling on a guy in a situation like this?’ Had I lost my mind completely?“Did what?” I swallowed the hard lump stuck in my throat, unsure of what he was referring to.“Don’t play stupid!” He roared. “What is that kid that tried to mug me doing here? Are you two working as a team?”“Hey! Watch your tone! I gave him the job this morning so he wouldn’t do the same again. Next time, I won’t be there to save him from getting arrested or killed.” I hoped he was too intoxicated to remember mugging or Frankie’s face, but I was wrong. He remembered everything. Either way, I wasn’t going to let him drag through mud the only good deed I did yesterday.“Bringing me here to sober up? Was that because you have a conscience and regret helping destroy my life?!” he yelled while advancing towards me while I stood utterly frozen at the same place, not even noticing the
Accidentally in love Salve for the wound
GabeTo say that two weeks after the disastrous wedding resembled a hell hole would not be an exaggeration, not in the slightest. If I could choose the moment in my life when I wished a ground could open up and swallow me, it would be this one. The pressure I’ve been under was overwhelming, and it was a miracle I didn’t break.When all things came to me at the same time, I didn’t know what hit me.My office phone was constantly ringing; reporters wanted to get exclusive from me. They stalked me around, followed me like dogs, camped in front of my house, and even got their hands on my private number.Business partners, suppliers, workers, and site managers needed reassurance; they all required a guarantee from me that we would pull through.Shares dropped by over 10% on the first day and an additional 10 in the next three. I could only thank heavens for stopping at that point because I wasn’t sure we would survive more.Stakeholders were mad, but honestly, who could blame them? They th
Accidentally in love Obsession
GabeThe worst thing was - I didn’t stop.That night, after she almost caught me staring through her window, I kept going back.Some invisible force was pulling me in the same direction over and over again, and I couldn’t fight it. I couldn’t resist it.So every day I left the office, I would go to the same place - the alley behind Chloe’s pastry shop.Yes, her name was Chloe. Chloe Danvers.After that first night I spent in a car at the back of her shop, I Googled her. Lame, I knew, but I learned - actually, I concluded more since there was not much info for me to dig out. Maybe someone with the proper hacking skills could find more, but I chose to travel the crazy path - I decided stalking was a better option.Although, it was worth it because I got to know she lived alone and led an unusually peaceful life. She rarely went out, didn’t have a vast circle of friends, and loved her job as she spent a lot of time in her workshop, even when her colleagues were all gone, and there were n
Accidentally in love Separated at birth
Chloe“OK, people!” Gina barged into the shop one morning. “I’m back early, and you three! We’re going out tonight to check out this new club. I already made reservations! Hey, who’s the kid? He looks underage? He can’t come. Unless he has a fake ID.” her voice and characteristic blabbering enticed a broad smile, and I dropped what I was doing to greet her.Gina had been my best friend since we met in middle school, and from that moment, we were inseparable. We attended college together, but after graduation, she found a job in the finance sector, and I went for my dream. Although physically opposite, with personalities that didn’t clash on too many common stances, Gina and I had a harmonious relationship and were more like sisters than just best friends. I always believed Mother Nature made a mistake and separated us at birth.I scanned her appearance quickly before I pulled her into a hug, and she returned instantly. “Nice haircut.” It differed from the one she had two weeks ago whe
Accidentally in love What a night!
ChloeThe music was louder than I expected. The vibrations echoing off the club’s walls settled in my stomach, surprising me with dizziness. But soon enough, I adapted, and familiar beats surged through me, making me want to dance the night away.Abby, Simon, Gina, and I took our place at the tall table, and I found my way to the bar to order drinks for everyone. Of course, I knew well that Simon preferred his beer, Abby loved cocktails, and ever since Gina and I discovered tequila in the early days of college, it became our signature drink whenever we would go out to party. I grabbed a bottle of Milagro, knowing that Simon would join us as soon as he finished the beer.A few shots in, and I was relaxed as I hadn’t been in a long time. Heading out to the main dance floor, I waved for the rest of them to follow. But Simon was with Dave on the video call, poor lovesick puppy, and Abby was already flirting with a guy she bumped into a minute ago, so Gina and I pushed through the crowd an
Accidentally in love I don't want this night to end
Chloe‘Should I say something?’ I wondered while sitting beside Gabriel on the uncomfortable bench in the hospital’s waiting area. What’s more, I was wondering the same throughout the ride Gabriel provided, but each time I opened my mouth to speak, I would quickly close them, afraid of sounding stupid.I was focused on Simon and his bleeding nose until we arrived at the emergency room, where a nurse took him away. Even though the waiting area was crowded, I felt like I was all alone in the world with no one else but Gabriel beside me.Too aware of his presence, I twiddled with the phone before I unlocked it and called Gina. Somehow, it didn’t surprise me when the call went unanswered, but I was worried for her, so I redialed.“Don’t bother.” His deep voice rang in my ears, startling me. “She won’t answer tonight.” The certainty with which he spoke made my head involuntarily snap towards him, and my eyes met his grey skies.I swallowed words that urged me to get out, and the next hour
Accidentally in love Weightless
ChloeThroughout the entire weekend, I couldn’t erase the smile from my face. I was grinning like crazy.I tried staying remotely serious a couple of times, but as soon as I would lose focus, my lips would involuntarily turn upwards, so in the end, I gave up on trying to control myself and embraced this newfound excitement.It was because of him. He made me feel like I hadn’t felt in so long - light as air, weightless.I was perfectly aware that he hated me as I aided his bride in leaving him minutes before their wedding. Hell, I would’ve hated me if I were him! But that didn’t stop me, no. I didn’t need him to return the ball to my court and feel the same as I did. It was enough for me just to feel good.Although it was a shame that nothing could happen between us, he was the first man in a while that made me giddy.Abby and Simon had two days off, and I gave Franke a weekend off when he showed up for the shift.The truth was - I wanted to be alone. I felt too good to share my happin
Accidentally in love Can we talk?
ChloeI left a hundred messages for Gina, but she never responded to any of them, and I was worried about her. However, she was finally with the man she had loved for years - they could use some time alone. Sending in a SWAT team could wait.While I was still stuck feeling the same verve every time I thought about Gabriel Miller.What surprised me was when I started seeing him more often. I met him at the local supermarket where I usually got my supplies. He carried an ice cream container, and since I had no idea where he lived or if this market was a common place for him to get groceries, I found it of no suspicion.A few days later, I spotted him again in the mall where I went shopping and one late afternoon in the park where I loved to jog occasionally.Every time we met, Gabriel never said a word to me; he would nod his head or look me straight in the eye. But whenever our gazes clashed, I would recognize a daring smile in them. They invited me, challenged me. I felt the pull and
