There I was rooted to the floor, fidgeting as the elevator door takes ages to split, weird, my eyes trails down his tansy shoes, from the looks of it’s a well polished shoe, reflected the light above me, his suit pants perfectly ironed to perfection making me gulp.
My eyes trail up to his white spotless T-shirts, which holds a tie in between them, just perfect, then my eyes gently travel to his…her?, what? “ surprised?” she said in a feminine voice, making my heart skip a beat, what is happening here?, she takes a step forward and my heart skips a beat, my eyes not living her well stretched Lips as she stepped out. I could see her clearly now. She had her hair packed up in a tight ponytail, showing her perfectly sculpted diamond face,she takes another step towards me, then smiles, making my pulse quicken, she so feminine yet musculine, I could see her tunes muscles under the white sleeves of hers. “ you must be the new personal assistant “ she says, and the word assistant got my attention, I am here for an interview, he… I mean she might be my boss, “ uhm, yes ma “ I replied scooning backwards. I see her walks towards me again and for some Weird reason she’s intimidating and I find myself moving backwards, “ seat!” She yells in a stern voice making my heart skip as I fall to the floor. My butt hitting the floor hard and fast, as pain jolted down my legs, “ stand!” She yells again, “ sorry” I stutter as I stand from the floor, “ I am sorry ma” I said my head bowed in embarrassment, I don’t know what that was, but get to head straight Anna!, this might be the test and I failed it already. “ Hired , get your things ready, you are not the new assistant of Mr Asher Lopez , '' she said, patting me on my shoulder then walking backwards, “ ma… I don’t… I don’t understand” I said following suit. She turns her lips nicely stretched as she smile at me, her eyes not leaving mine, “ you are a nice lady rosalie, I will send you your role on your email, till we meet again rosa_lie” she says in the most seductive manner I have ever head, which send goosebumps down my body. Fuck!, she’s so good…Just when the elevator door closed and began to defend I finally got hold of myself, my feet stopped their fright jitters, this is the weirdest interview of all times, I just got hired for crying out loud, by a woman , or maybe the other way around. And just by yelling at me?, this isn’t right, it’s probably a scam, how can someone get hired by just making a butt plant with the floor, she didn’t ask for my credentials, and if she’s not the boss then who the hell is he?. I find my balance, as I flip my little flop towards the elevator door, it even seems further than it should, I press the buttons taking me to the first floor, my mind skimming through all that had happened in the past minutes. I woke up in the middle of the night, for an interview, I dressed pretty well, then drove down here, for an interview that wasn’t supposed to hold at this time of the night, and then I saw a man oh a woman walking into the weird haunted building with furniture to die for. She yells at me, and I fool myself before her, then boom I get hired, for crying out loud? Wow. The elevator door chimes again, pulling me out of reverie as I step out shakemly. The weather is quite chilly, compared to when I first came, it’s freezing out here. I get to the site of my car, and I quietly stride towards it, with my hands crossed before me. It's very scary out here, and for some weird reason it’s the full moon, giving me werewolf thoughts, those things don’t exist. They shouldn’t, my car is parked just feets away from me now, as I searched my purse shakenly for my key, " there” I muttered as I unlocked the hinges, pulling the car door open, I slipped in with no further hesitation. starting the engines but it doesn't start, for crying out loud it doesn't start, why would I want to have a car parked in the middle of nowhere just to be stuck!. " ahh fuckin move already!" I yell hitting the steering wheels in frustration, as I fall back on the seat, I hear screeching sounds down the road making my heart skip for the hundredth time in seconds . I pick up my phone hoping to call Kate but the bars are empty, no single network, how?, ?That's just it, stepping out of the car, I raise my phone in search of a network bar maybe but it doesn't show. The screeching noises, then Bush rattling too persist even more, making me panic, as I run back inside the car,hitting my leg at the base of the car as I stumble into my car. That's just great, now I have a broken ankle, the screeching noises now are accompanied by some flapping noises, my eyes darted around the environment, I can't see further than my arm length. It's so dark. "Ahh!" I see a bat flying Inside my car, it flaps around my head making me ruffle it while screaming, and now there are two flapping around my head, maybe they are vampire bats, who knows, I tried running out of the car when my head hit against the top of the car. I slumb back to my chair, sliding down to the floor, as the world I was currently in began to spin gently, I felt a weird pain on my forehead, it's not going away,neither are the bats that wouldn’t stop flapping around my car. Soon the darkness around me becomes more thick, as I slowly drift into oblivion, "Kate" I whispered as the darkness drew me in. "Who is Kate?" I hear a musculine tone before me, making me look up with everything I had, the moon shining again a glorious figure and I see a man with long shoulder length hair,he wasn't putting on a shirt which shows his well toned body. "Who are you?""None of your business" he replied stretching his hands to help me stand but the darkness has gotten the best of me now, there's no escaping from itTossing my bag on the bed, it's been more than just a long day, it's been a day, i wouldn’t want to reoccur , if only i was given an headstart before any day, I wouldn’t bother standing up in the first place, or maybe, just maybe, i could navigate through all that has happened today. Seeing a different side of Asher, he had always been one to conceal his intentions , always composed, but seeing him argue with Axel today , he must really be upset, it’s normal for brothers to fight once in a while, but totally not agreeable is weird. Why should i care, i had less than thirty days staying here, and that should be the least of my worries, slumping back on the bed, I can’t help but think back to when he held my hands, what does that mean, no one just hold hand that way, he even placed them in his pocket. It’s now more of a habit, than just a gesture, making my heart skip, hopes of a possible fantasy being fulfilled, that sensation down the gut whenever a crush tal
Rose pov Seated at the back of Asher’s car, with Axel at the front seat, he hadn’t said a word ever since the little fight over whose car to board, just occasional sighs and hisses ,quite different from what i had expected , we finally arrived at the hospital,and miss lopez had just batted an handkerchief over her eyes as she darts them around. she had been the first to catch my attention from the view, before asher did, he quickly opens the door, then hops around, Axel did the same, he pulls the handle of the car but it seemed jammed, asher turns over pressing a button on his key before he leans over opening the door. For a second they stare heatedly at each other, then at me, I could feel my will sink down my gut, as they wouldn’t avert their gazes, even when I squirm, “ oh asher'' I hear miss lopez say, asher looks at her, then opens the door, before he walks over to his mother. I haven’t had the opportunity to ask what was going on, as words had bartere
Asher pov “What are you looking for here, aren't you supposed to before a moving train?”, axel stood beside me, arm crossed on his chest, heaven knows what he really wants coming here, but whatever it is, wouldn’t arouse my hopes of something positive. Isn’t it too early to be jobless, “ hey beasty, your worst nemesis” he said looking back at the see through glass, his tone was nothing far from mockery, and with the smug smile, he was well aware he had hit a mail right where it needed, “ leave”. “ I am so scared” he said, waving his fingers all over my face, “ I am not here for you, I have better things” narrowing his eyes across the office, his face lit up immediately he bestowed his eyes on her. As suspected. “ Hey rose!” he yells, walking towards rose, who just stood immobile, she had her hands straightened before her, for some reasons she looks flushed. Axel pulled her against his body for a hug, she should have resisted, b
Breath through it rose, what’s the worst that can happen?. Walking past the lobby, with my head bowed gently, greeting people so early without my morning coffee wasn’t something I would do, on a day like this Anxiety flicks in, as my thoughts are haywire. I had ignored his message, but I kept staring at it all through the night. Did he want to say sorry for being so inhuman yesterday?, or maybe he just wants to come fix up a dumb puzzle, he could be up to anything for all i care, he asher Lopez, he's capable of anything. Not today, the shoot for the advert would be made today, i had put my all in this , making countless calls, being creative, and i won't let some stupid event ruin it, never, walking towards my desk, i take a quick peck at his office, he's not around Phew. Taking a seat hurriedly, I hope he doesn't come now, i can't really think right now, not with his weirdness lingering around, but it all comes to an end when whispered audible . Asher?. H
Seated in a coffee house with Miss Lopez, her hands rested on her eyes as she stared warmly at me, just like the first day I saw her. “Coffee?” she asked so sweetly, I wouldn't dare reject it. “Sure thing,” I said. Just like a magic wand, she waves a hand, and in seconds a waiter is standing beside her, saying, “We would like two cups of coffee." Her voice is firm and authoritative, and in a jiffy he is out of sight and out of mind. “Oh darling, I am so delighted you showed up,” she said, stretching her hand as she held mine in hers. Just like the thought of bliss, I found myself smiling back at her. “It's an honor to have tea with you,” I said, not hiding my delight. She grin with her hands on her chest. “You are so sweet,” she said, still smiling. It’s beginning to seem like it’s a usual gesture, as she reciprocated the same with the waiter who just dropped off our cups. “Thank you,” i replied, whilst taking a sip from my mug. “ Yes, I must be wondering why I
Rose pov Was he pissed? That's a stupid question to ask; obviously he was pissed; how else would he send me back to the lodge, just after a call? “dumb ass”. I said, smacking myself in the head as I stared at the chicken and waffles he had just sent. Does he know it was Axel calling? Who am I kidding? He knows; he's not stupid; he probably knows everything, even if he never speaks out of the ordinary. He knows every damn thing going on. Closing my eyes, as I ease the frustration, I realize maybe I shouldn’t have hugged it, no matter how inviting it felt, I know I shouldn’t have, and maybe that’s why he got pissed That explains everything So Stupid That must be the reason. I probably crossed my limit. I took my phone and pulled up our past messages—nothing more than office work and tasks. Bringing up personal matters shouldn't be sent through here; I should say them in person. No, the earlier the better. What if he s
Asher pov I have seen people less bothered about where they sleep, but Rosalie is one of a kind, even when given a task, she had slept in the middle of the road, on a very lonely and chilly night with no care whatsoever, what would i have expected. Looking at the unfinished puzzle, that’s absurd, everything looks so mismatched, even with the reference laying dormant beneath her wet drool covered cheek, so silly. Walking towards her, her hair laying diligently on her face, lifting it off, my eyes caught a name that made my mind whirl in seconds. Guess the punch wasn't enough, how stupid…Taking my phone, “ i had told you to stay away from her” i said, trying hard enough not to yell, as I observed little miss taking a nap. “ Axel I wouldn’t hold back next time if I see you close to her”, my heart boiled like it had just been tossed in a furnace , “ keep your words to yourself, I don’t care”, cutting him off, I shove my phone back into my pockets. Damn him
“ How are you feeling now?” “ fine” “ You resumed rather early, wasn’t expecting you till tomorrow” asher said ,still staring at is phone, “ uhm well, i got bored” i replied, swinging from the base of my feet to my toes, “ hmm, you could hang out, take the day off if you want, to there’s no much work that cannot be shifted till tomorrow” He would have said that when he had me working all night on a missing file, “ well, i have no place in mind, that catches my interest” “no problem with that, you can resume work now,” nodding in approval, I walked out of his office, once again he switched off his light, it doesn’t faze me like it did earlier, but it keeps my in a state wonder, what does he do in total darkness , throughout the day, and still with her eyes closed at night. Seen a lot of weirdo my life time,but haven’t seen someone so obsessed with darkness, yet hovers in a white safe haven. Look down on my work for day, I shouldn’t have resumed knowing there isn’
ding! A sound I had not yet gotten used to, even when it resounded in my clumsy mind over and over again, why so persistent?, even As a human, I haven’t been persistent in getting my job done. My lazy eyes finally opened, as I blinked owlishly at the high golden ceiling, when did I come back to the lodge?. Looking down at my body, I was still dressed in my office attire with the odd brightness before me. It's morning already . morning?!, yelping from the bed, as I strip my office attire, my feet aches so badly, as they had been confined in this Pencil heel all night long, it burns so much, had me leaping as I scavenge for clothes to put on The doorbell rings again, for the fifth time, pulling my attention to the main source of what actually woke me up so early, who had been so patient to continuing ringing at the door, walking towards the door, peeking through the peephole, I see a lady dressed in all white, probably a staff in the hotel, opening the door, i let h
