Eric reached home and noticed everyone was looking quite happy today. Happier than usual. He thought maybe because of Cassandra. He went to them and sat on the couch near Cassandra. He looked at everybody and they were looking at Eric. Cassandra had a huge grin plastered on her face. He felt that something was not good for him.
He raised an eyebrow and asked
"Why are you all staring at me?"
They all smiled and Cassandra said
"Because you are getting married. You didn't even tell me. How lucky Cheryl will be to have you" Cassandra said in a tone of excitement.
Eric looked at his parents and they looked at him with a look of 'don't you dare tell her'
He took a sharp breath and just smiled at Cassandra. Of course, he couldn't tell his sister about it. He doesn't want her to be sad or be upset for him. Cassandra went to her room after few minutes of chatting. Eric mad
AlissaWhen we reached back to our company, neither he made an effort to talk to me neither I tried to make an effort to get his attention or to talk to him. The rest of the day went in a blur. When I reached home, I saw Jade roaming here and there in the house. The house was looking a bit messy. The only thing which was looking clean was the dining table. Jade has her room still she is pacing around mine. There are only a few moments when we both sleep together.The last time I remember I slept with her was the night before I got the news that I got my job. She is looking like she is searching for something. I did not make an effort to ask her what was the thing she was looking for cause she will not answer me until she will completely lose the hope of getting it. I suddenly started to think about how Eric behaves sometimes. He gets possessive or sometimes he becomes like he hates me and suddenly become a caring person. He looks handsome,
Alissa was being bored as always. She completed all her work but there was still plenty of time left to do anything else. She got an email from Eric to come to her cabin. She was hoping to get more work, at least it was better than sitting idle. She knocked and entered his cabin. She gave him a small smile and stood in front of his table."Miss.Lawrance I just wanted to inform you that there is this one girl who is going to work under me. Her cabin is just near to yours. So just show her all the cubicles and her cabin. Tell her what she has to do. Okay?" He said and Alissa nodded her head."When will she arrive?" Alissa asked."I'll email you" Eric said and Alissa left the office.She got in her cabin and thought about what to do next. She plugged her earphones into her laptop and started listening to music. After 20 minutes she got an email from Eric. She left her cabin and went to Eric's.
As Eric walked down the corridor he saw Edward. Edward and Eric are best friends including Josh. Edward is a hard-working man. He is also very rich, but he is rich because of his hard work. Not like his father was rich. He was from a middle-class family. He had green eyes and black hair. But when it comes to girls he was never a playboy. If he gets a girlfriend he will stick to her.Eric walked towards him and hugged him. He patted his back."How are you, Ed?" Eric asked."Grand. And you? Any girlfriend, whom you can stay with now?" Edward winked and they both laughed.Suddenly, Josh also came there."Hey, Edward? Good to see you, bro?"They both hugged and got into their little chat. After talking for a while Edward said "Guys, I think we should go and hang out at night""Like where?" Josh raised his eyebrows."Club duh! That late-night s
Alissa and Eleanor soon reached the club. They entered and the smell of cigarettes and drinks filled their nostrils. The lights were shining so bright, the music was so loud. People were grinding, drinking, smoking and dancing. There were some girls, ready for their night with some guy. There were some boys who were trying to impress girls.Even the pole dancing was there. The boys were hooting and whistling while the girls were showing off their moves. The girls were barely in clothes. It was not something new for them. They are not new to this, so why would they even feel ashamed. Alissa was judging everybody, the way they talk, the way they move, everything.Alissa and Eleanor went to the bar. The bartender came there and gave them a cheeky look."What would you like to have ladies?" The bartender asked."Um...Red wine?" Eleanor asked Alissa"Umm..I don't drink" She confessed."Hey come on. It's okay. The night is
"......And he threw me out of his house" Alissa was sitting with Eleanor, finally telling someone about her and Eric. Eleanor was listening to her the whole time.She paid attention to every single word she said to her till now.She was quite shocked after listening to Alissa. Although, anyone would be surprised to know that. Eleanor was really worried that night when Eric took Alissa with her. She even tried to go and find where she is, but it was impossible."It will be alright, maybe he just needs some time to find out his actual feelings" Eleanor advised."How much time does he want? I am craving for his answers" Alissa said"Alissa, let me tell you something. Sometimes we don't get answers just like that. We have to run behind them. Life is not that easy. We have to run behind every single thing which we want to achieve or which we want to get. That is how Albert Einstein had an answe
Lies.....Drink.....Ignore....Lies....Drink.....Ignore.....Lies.....It was all that Eric was doing.Lying to himself that he has no feelings for Alissa.Drinking every night thinking about her. Ignoring the feeling that he still want Alissa.He was just being a selfish creature. He came to know that in one month, Cheryl and her parents are going to come back. He was frustrated, angry, furious. He had never dreamt that someone will ever have the power to control him.His father had the full power in his hands. He could bring Eric down in the swap of his fingers if Eric denies marrying Cheryl. He never said that she is clingy or something. Cheryl is beautiful, but again not compared to Alissa. He doesn't know what to do and how to do it.The day he asked Alissa to come to his cabin and told her to forget all those things which happened in his apartment. His heart was breaking. As
Alissa was doing her work, although she could hardly concentrate on it. It was slightly raining outside. She stood up from her chair and stood in front of the window, capturing the beauty of the sky. It was a little dark and a shade of orange was there. She slides the window open and took a deep breath. The knots in her head were getting untied. She felt relaxation taking over her."Beautiful, isn't it?" She heard a voice from next to her. She knew who it was. But for the first time, it did not bother her.She kept her eyes closed and hummed. Though, she didn't know that Eric mentioned her in the reference. Eric was captivating the beauty of Alissa. His eyes shined a bit. He was looking at her with love. The passion he had inside of him for her."I am sorry" He said. Alissa slowly opened her eyes and turned towards him."Hmm?" She scrunched up her eyebrows."I am sorry Alissa"
Alissa woke up in not so fresh mood. She stood up from her bed and went to check on Jade. She was sleeping peacefully. Alissa went back to her room and took a shower. Today was her day off. As it was Sunday. She took a quick shower and thought to get dressed. She took a white sundress. She went to Jade's room and found that she was not in her bed. Alissa thought she must be in her bathroom.Jade came out of the bathroom and saw Alissa standing there. Jade was wearing just a robe. Alissa smiled at her and Jade gave her a cracked smile."Get ready. I am preparing for breakfast" Alissa went out of her room and straight into the kitchen.Today she thought to make pancakes. It was Jade's favourite, so to cheer up her mood as she was very low from the last night. Alissa quickly did all the stuff and Jade also came out of her room. Alissa served the pancakes on the plate and took them to the table. She put the plate in front of J
