He was outside the door, his hand on the handle. He had just knocked on the Door and permission to come in from the other side was given. He took a deal breath, nervousness clearly visible on his face. He finally opened the door and came in."Please sit down Mason," Said Mr. Vitale, and Mason did so sitting in front of Vitale. It was a warm office, giving mature vibes. A big mahogany table like all rich people's offices. One chair behind the table with Arthur sitting on the other side, and two empty chairs on the front on which Mason sat."I will not go into long meaningless conversations," Arthur begins, "As I wanted to know yesterday, You are an assassin, what are you doing in my bar as my bartender?""I left that life behind. I need a long break, from killing people,""You killed three people yesterday, You think you can change who you are?"Mason had the images of three Men in black he had a shoot yesterday to save Eleanor. He still didn't understand why he did that. To save her l
It was a weird ride going to college. But what was weirder was that he wanted to come with me."You cannot come inside," I said when I saw him behind me at the door."I am ordered to," He simply stated looking directly into my eyes. There were people around and were doing what they do, staring. At me, and more precisely at him. And he was looking at my eyes and I was trying not to look into his eyes."You are not allowed in," I whispered spoke so only he could hear."I have a permission letter," Be said, pulling out a document from his jacket and showing me."Permission letter? From who? How?" I asked. All of this was happening right in the middle of the stairs, which were covered with people, all wanting to know what I was doing with him."Your father, he got it from the directors, Not know how,"I opened my mouth and then closed it. I look around for any teacher or staff and then open my mouth again, "If anyone says anything, You are the one responsible," I again whisper said, pulle
After a very awkward lunch, and then an uneasy day at college, which lacked social assurance and grace, It was finally time to go home. It was after a long duration, I was actually looking forward to being locked away in my room for the rest of my day, and doing nothing, rather than leaving the house, which was a constant wish of mine. All so I can have a break from the heebie-jeebies, I had been feeling all day, all thanks to her dad for hiring Mason. He won’t be there with her in her home. Mason was a good guard, she could see that. But not good for her.Maybe she should go back and tell her dad that he just ain’t it and they can go back to the usual overweight team of builders following her car, but staying away from her, and her school.Right now she was heading to her car, ignoring the turning faces and talking mouths, almost all of them directed at her. Mason was right in front. Just as she had stepped at the first stair lowering down, she heard someone call out to her.“Hey!” I
I knocked on the door and waited outside to hear an answer. It was almost evening, and I had changed into my sweats, deciding to stay in for the rest of the day.“Come in,” My father said from the inside. I opened the door, walked in, and closed it behind me. My father smiled as he looked at me. He had a paper in his hand, and glasses on his nose, through which he was reading whatever.“I hope I didn’t disturb you?” She asked him, approaching the sofa he was sitting on.“No, My dear, how would you ever do that?” He asked, smiling. Gosh, I came here to complain but he is in such a good mood. Maybe I should try a different approach.“About today,” I said settling onto the sofa with crossed legs, “I was wondering if we could shift back to the large number of guards that stayed outside my school, rather than one roaming inside?”“And why is that?” He asked, looking at his paper.“… because it’s annoying, I mean why would you request to let him in, every thing was going well. I was taking
As I sat in the car, I felt my stomach clench. I was hungry, and I was tired of my room last night. I spent quite a few days in there and now that I have a guard following me around and my mind rushing with all the cons of it. It was time for experiencing the pros. So, I texted my dear friends if they would like to join me for lunch. No one seemed interested at first, So I texted them with ‘Mason will be joining us too,’ This resulted in me a ton of messages from each one of them and we were on to deciding where to go. I wanted some Gourmet meals so we decided on french dine in. I asked the driver to turn the car to the decided restaurant. “You have your father’s permission?” Mason asked when I finished. “I don’t need it,” I said, “I need permission only when I’m out past 10, before that I can go to Valdez and back with no issue,” I told him. He nodded his head. Half an hour later, I was standing outside the restaurant calling every one of them with the answer of them being on t
I was at my desk, my hands roaming around my notepad, filling out a mindmap for my presentation. I had my laptop in front of me, shining its light on my face. I adjusted my glasses on my nose and looked at my phone that just chimed."Hey, Ella. I was wondering if you have the notes from today's 'From molecules to cell class'?"Justin just texted me for notes. He was in class. He was sitting right behind me."Don't you have it?" I texted back, "You were in class?"Five minutes later, He text back with an emoticon hiding his face, "I was distracted in class," He texted."Yeah...Bianca was looking pretty," I replied smiling by myself."I have many other distractions than Bianca," He said."Like what?" I asked.There was another silence of a few minutes when my phone chimed again."Like the shade of your hair and the light reflecting from it, making them more beautiful," He texted with a wink emoticon.I froze for a moment at reading his text. Then I read it again. This seemed to flirt wi
My feet and back were hurting after all the walking we did. It had been almost two hours and we had only covered three shops. Amy was checking out the prices for some bags she liked for herself and I was more than done with shopping.I was hungry, and tired, both mentally and physically. A sinister enough plan roams in my mind for a while. What can go wrong if I sneak out? I can tell Amy I got lost. And it won’t be much of a lie because I am losing my mind. I run my eyes around the store. Amy focused on the shop helper and My dear bodyguard focused on his book. I slowly walk to the end of the store, switching my gaze between both of them.Slowly, I walk outside and just a bit walking to the right, I sprint. I take the first left and slow down. I hear a voice behind me, “Stop,”I do stop and look behind. It was Mason. My eyes widen looking at him. He was a few feet away from me. Instinctively, I turn around and start running in whatever direction.“Hey, wait!” I hear but do not stop. I
Just as I reached Amy holding onto the crop top, I heard footsteps behind me and turned to look at Mason.“Your father called, he needs you home,” He said looking down at me.“Now?” I asked. He nodded his head once.“Amy… I think-““Yes, I understand,” She said, “Also We were done I guess,” She said and I sighed. I smiled at her. A part of me knew Mason was lying and I felt guilty for it. But I was far more tired and she seemed too involved in the whole shopping idea I didn’t want to ruin it for her by saying I am bored.Also, It was part truth. Father would want me home by now. Also, there is a party I need to show up at....Mason opened the door for me and I got out, mumbling thanks to him.“I need to go to a party today at night,” I told him so I don’t mess up his schedule of going home and sleeping peacefully.He nodded his head Yes. I walked a couple of steps and stopped turning around at him.“You should get ready too,” I told him. He raised his brow at me in question.“I mea
