Rita
" Are you sure you want us to do this?" he asked, as I pressed myself further on his body.
" I like you, you like me, there's nothing stopping us," I said.
" I don't like you Ri, I love you," he corrected and I smiled in return.
" We'll do that some other time, you're not feeling okay, and it's too early to set up a relationship on intimacy, I want you and you know that, he said and I nodded.
" Come, I'll put you to sleep, you've stared at me long enough," he added and I rolled down beside him, wrapping my hands to his waist, as much as its length could take me.
" Cara," he called and I looked up at him.
" What'd you plan to do with Zander," he asked and I looked up at him.
" Esme said to leave it up to her," I replied and snuggled closer.
" Let me know if you want anything done," he said and I nodded still in his embrace, nestling closer until I fell asleep.
Rita...I held the phone in my hand, sobbing into it. I couldn't go to Esme, to talk about it, and I could only sit in fear.The door was opened and I felt my body quiver before recollecting that Adam was on his way.I sat still, unable to move until he opened the door, and walked towards me" Hey," he called as soon as he settled into the room." I'm here," he said, holding my tear-filled face in his palm.I burst into tears, my body quivering at the thought of what had just happened.He rubbed his hands on my back soothingly, until I ran out of tears." What did he say?" he asked looking into my eyes.I shook my head, unable to repeat what I'd heard, instead, I handed him my phone and blocked out my ears from listening to it." I'll get him before you before dusk," he said and I shook my head in refusal." It'll ruin what Esme has planned, I trust you all and he probably thinks he's got it all, he thinks he's got the upper hand, and going after him will only boost his confidence," I
EsmeI was halfway through sleep when Rita's knock came on the door." Here's Adam's food," she said dropping the food beside me,“ I'll be off.”I slipped down from the bed, hungry, and walked to the food, there was it, Rita's favorite food.I picked up the spoon to eat when my phone rang." Todd," I muttered to myself, before picking it up." Hey amor, how're you," he asked, placing the phone to stand, I switched to video to show him the mood Adam made." It's nice isn't it?" I asked and he replied with a nod." I'm getting Rita's documents and evidence almost ready, I'll have them sent over in some days to your office and while we do that, do you mind going to a fundraising party with me," he asked, staring at me." When is it," my breath hitched for a brief moment when I thought about going out with Todd.That'd be a first, we've never had a chance to go public except for the court case." Esme Ames, it isn't safe to fall in love with him," I soliloquized and shook my head." Butt
Esme's..." Esmeralda," Titus voice had called from over the phone, "Esmeralda," I muttered to myself.Titus only called me that when he was up to something not good, Esme he'd call me whenever he wanted to show off to his friends that my name had the same beauty as my face.I'd called him earlier this afternoon to announce that I was done with my last paper for university. No doubt I'd pass, I'd been a straight-A student since freshman year. That added to another one of his pride." She's the perfect girlfriend," he'd say to all of them and I always blushed in his love for me until I realized I wasn't his perfect girlfriend at least to some extent.I'd waited in line for four hours to get the 'lover's cake', it was popularly said that whoever got to have a taste of it with their other half, would be together forever.Finally, I was handed my cake, inscribed on it, "Will you be my first" I could see the red blush on the baker's face seeing what I'd asked to be inscribed on it." Thank
Esme's...Chapter 2I walked in the rain heedless, with nowhere to go, I wandered around, too afraid to cry, afraid of what I'd break into if I let the tears welled Inside of me come rolling down.The dazzling lights of the hotel across the streets had gotten my attention, and with my situation at the moment, I had nowhere else to go but to spend my income for a month in a day."All work no play, makes Esme a dull girl" was what I held on to, I wasn't sure of living after today and what I thought would be the happiest day of my life turned out to be the worst.I walked into the hotel, not minding the lustful gazes of the men at the entrance, my drenched appearance made me more pitiful. I walked into the lobby, still noticing the glares of the men around." Hey pretty girl, are you stranded, how about you spend your night with me," one of the men approached." No thank you," I replied and turned to the reception." Good day ma'am, how may I help you," she asked." I want to book a roo
Cassians's...My phone rang from the table in the distance and I scrunched my eyebrows in return.Only a few people had my private number, some of whom were my secretary and my Best Friend Andy.I picked up the phone and I saw that it was the secretary, she had strict orders not to call me except it was an emergency, and I could only think of one at the moment, there was a problem with the merger I'd sent her to complete." Good day Mr. Van, I'm sorry but the client refuses to sign the merger without your presence," her voice said over the phone." Where are you, I asked,"" At the hotel adjacent to the company," she replied.I wanted to ask why she chose the hotel instead of any good restaurants or a meeting house, but I thought against it." I'll be there," I said and hung up, looking down from the highest floor, only the bright lights of the hotel could be seen from a distance.I scrunched my eyebrows, the merging had been finalized and it was only left for her to hand the documen
Esme's...There was still no response from him and I stood up to go, the minute clarity I had was fading away and my senses were going back to being hazy." Please help me," he spoke for the first time and I stumbled back." Hey can you hear me, do you have a card," I asked but didn't get an answer.His face from up close was too handsome to ignore, so I checked into his pockets, seeing for any leads of who he might be when I remembered that I'd booked a room." What could go wrong in having a handsome drunk stranger stay in the same room with another drunkard overnight." I thought to myself and held him by the hand in the hope of lifting him up from the ground.But my feet were all wobble and I was depleted of whatever strength I had, with no other choice, I held his two hands above his head and embarrassingly dragged him to the elevator." Hey, you stupid man, do you know who I am, let me go" I heard a woman scream at a staff who stood in the middle of the route, blocking her from
Cassians's"She isn't her, she isn't your secretary" my head buzzed with various thoughts of how I'd fuck this girl in front of me.Her voice kept ringing into my ears and it took all my rationality to not pin her down on the door front.I never thought I'd be ridiculed to the extent of being dragged all the way from the first floor of a restroom to the last floor of a seven-star hotel.Nevertheless, I was grateful, I'd rather be dragged by this nimble soft girl to her room than fall to the scheme of that secretary.And when my head had hit the stoppage at the door, I flung my eyes open to see her hovering over me, dropping my legs in the instant to the floor.I grunted in pain, watching as she spoke to me. Her hair flowed rhythmically with her every movement. She knelt beside me and I could just watch with my eyes wide open.And I could swear that she looks cute when she was mad, the way she'd changed her words from me being a piece of shit when I gave no response to her words. " Y
Esme...My whole life was ruined and at this moment I knew for a fact that even though Titus sleeping with Raina hurt, having a one-night stand with a man I saved who afterwards accused me of being a slut hurt more.I stared at the pitiful figure of myself on the floor, helpless and ugly, the hickeys and purple mark of my intimate sexual affair reflected Right in my face.I couldn't even recognize the face of the motherfucker I slept with.I stood up from the bed, gripping the sheets to the stains on the bed.The memories of last night came rushing to my head, from Titus to Raina, outside the rain, the bar and helping him before bringing him to the room with me, the sex, the harsh slap of reality on my face, and the way he had called me a slut.I fell to the bed, gripping the sheets tightly in my hands.The rush of emotion came at first like small mumbles and sobs, until I wasn't able to take it any longer.My head got fuzzier and the wracking lines of tears came rushing down my face.
