But who the hell... I froze when I saw the familiar person sleeping beside me. It was Jones. What the hell was he doing here?Did he..? I looked under the sheets and I saw that I was still on my clothes. Of course he didn't touch me. Jones doesn't touch you when you are in a wasted condition. I knew that. But I knew how persuasive I could be when am drunk. I get horny at times. But Jones, he maintains his stand.But I wasn't happy with him. What was he doing here? Last night I went to the bar.

Jones' POVIt was so real. Like something important was leaving me. Something I can't live without. Something, Someone. It was Ruby. She leaving me was doing terrible things to my body. It was making me shiver and sob.After all my pleadings she still left me. Why did she do that to me? I love her. I was going through a cold pain, suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. It made me calm. The pain I was feeling began to disappear slowly. I felt relaxed. I felt fine.My eyes opened slowly and I saw someone close to me. I couldn't see the person clearly but it was a woman. She was looking at me with so much concern. Only one person looked at me that way.That person... "Ruby".she came back. She finally came back to me.I carried myself from the bed a bit and pressed my lips on hers.I furrowed my eyes a bit while kissing her. It felt different. Before I could realize what I have done, she pulled away. That snapped me out my trance. Yes I was in trance.My eyes widened at the sight of her
Elma's POVI woke up in a white room, the sound of the beeping monitor made me realize that was in an hospital. Everything that happened came back to me. The fire, my heart racing and the possibility that I was going to burn down the house.I passed out because of it. I have never seen anything like that before. And i flinch whenever the picture of the fire came to my head. It was terrible. Almost like a bomb. Am thankful that I didn't burn the house if not, only God knows. Jones will automatically send me to jail without hesitation.Mum will hate me and so will Chief. My family will be kicked out to the streets. Then my worse nightmare will come true.I sat up slowly as I wince to the pain of my arm. Jones' tight grip. I wonder why it was still burning. My two hands massaged the parts and I saw that it was still red. Great.The door opened slowly revealing Mum looking at her phone. It was like she had finished answering a call. Was it Jones called? I doubt that he will be a little co
I got back home quite late after my meeting with Ruby. We spent hours together, chatting and making out. I enjoyed every bit of the moment we shared except for the kissing part.I still don't understand why I felt nothing when we kissed. That spark wasn't there anymore and it upsets me. Maybe its because we haven't kissed for while now or.....? Yeah that's the reason.I entered the house, about to climb the stairs when I noticed something from the corner of my eye. I turned to the living room and there... Mum and Dad were staring at me."Geez folks what's up with the creepy shit?" I sighed"Language Jones"mum said as she gestured me to come over thereI walked towards them nonchalantly. "Why are you both still awake?" I asked"Where are you coming from son?" Dad asked looking at me straight in the eyes.I scoffed. "Really? What am i? A teenage boy?""Mind your tongue Jones" Mum spoke upI sighed."I went to the office." I answeredHe stared at me for some moment, I knew I was provokin

Elma's POVFor weeks now I have managed to find something comforting for myself. My job. Gosh it's a very good distraction from my unhappy marriage and boredom. I concentrate well on my work, associate with my colleagues and even go out for lunch with them. They are nice people. Chief is a very good man. He is the one behind all these.

Elma's POVMy first meeting went very well. Eric was a very good mentor. I seriously don't know how I would have coped if it weren't for him. Martins' Frames is very lucky to have him. We managed to get almost half a billion from our business associates and customers. What a good business.Eric is indeed a good general manager. I mean he is humble, calm and patient. His way of relating with the customers and business associates is very very remarkable. Gosh I really envy him.Not only is he good to the customers, he is also good to the employees.

I smiled as I recalled the beginning. I was dead nervous. I thought those customers will ask me questions but Eric assured that they won't. Even though they did, he will help me out. That alone calmed me down. And luckily they didn't ask me anythi
