After drowning for days, thinking of how she was going to grab life by the balls, Starr finally gave Magnus the chance to come visit her. She was trying hard to keep her mind off Chris, but Magnus coming over wasn't helping at all. He hadn't really stopped for a second to talk about something other than Valentine since he arrived.

Her head still not in place, Starr resumed work. She put her brave face on and walked into the damn company like she owned it, and if Christopher Chariton came, she was ready to handle him like she was the owner of the damn company.She had a knee length wine bodycon gown, alongside a black heels. She had no jewellery on, apart from a simple gold bracelet. She kept her makeup simple, lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara.The meeting was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, so she arrived some minutes before nine. She had a full on pep talk with herself in the mirror, before she came to work. She had to ready herself for whatever was coming.Due to her absence from work for a couple of days, some staff had relaxed, misbehaving. "Tell Magnus to fire the lady who was eating at her desk and slouching. And also the guy who thought the office place is a bar and for picking up women," she told Amber as she walked into th

Days had passed and it was almost the weekend. Starr was feeling unusually fatigued and simply wanted to rest. She had woken early to go to work, but ended up not being able to. So, she decided to rest at home and call in sick."Go to the hospital," Magnus commanded Starr from the other end of the line, causing her to sigh."You are supposed to be running a company for me, not bugging me about going to the hospital," Starr complained through the phone, sighing again.Magnus groaned. "Can you not be a hard arse for some seconds, and go to the damn hospital?""Run the damn company." With that, she ended the line, smiling.It didn't take up to two seconds before her phone began to ring again, causing her to groan loudly and answer the phone, without checking the called ID. "Magnus, I promise you that I am going to goddamn -"S

"It's a lie," Magnus excitedly said to her, flapping his arm close to his face, fanning himself. "He did legit ask you out?" he asked again, causing her to nod. "Oh my gawd! My ship is fucking sailing, Bitches!"He was so excited, Starr could feel it. She didn't know why he was so excited, but it kind of brought a smile to her face. She liked how he was so happy about something so not-so-big, that he felt should make her happy too. She couldn't help smiling.Magnus soon calmed down, taking his seat on one of her single chairs. "I bet he would have begged his life span short to get you to accept to it."Starr felt her cheeks grow warm as she frowned, feigning offense. "What do you mean?" she asked.Magnus laughed, bending his head back a bit. "Oh, I know you Starr. You are hardheaded," he mocked her, ignoring the little pity he felt for her on remembrance of why she was.Starr

"So, what's up?" Starr asked Magnus when they both got to the sitting room and were settled.Maguns sighed, letting his shoulders fall as he replied, “I haven’t mustered up the courage to do so yet.”

The ride was quiet. Starr was trying her hardest not to 'think too much'. She sat quietly, her head resting on her elbow, her gaze fixed to the road. She was awfully quiet, Chris felt it was better to stay quiet also. He didn't want to ruin anything at all. He felt they had a great night ahead of them, and Starr's mood was very unpredictable, so he didn't want to ruin it with the slightest thing.

MATURE WARNING!The date went fine, or so did Chris think. But, Starr had retreated and recoiled by the time they were on their way back home. She was back to how she was when they were on their way to the restaurant, as quiet as a mouse. Not wanting to ruin things, Chris also kept shut, driving in absolute silence.It wasn't long before he was pulling at her place, parking. He had gotten out, so as to quickly move around and help her out. But, Starr didn't give him the chance, again. "I wanted -" Chris had started, but was immediately cut off by Starr's words."Nah, it's aight," she said, keeping it short.She began to walk slowly to her door, letting Chris catch up with her, after he had locked his car door. They still hadn't really said anything. Chris wasn't so sure if he had messed up or not. He hadn't said anything, so it was most definite that he hadn't done anything wrong. But, he sti

MATURE WARNING! (MILD)Starr might have not said it out loud, or even fully accepted it. But, she knew things weren't the same with Chris at all. She was letting go, bit by bit. The way they had exploded, while staring into each other's ey

Magnus couldn’t hold his laugh, as he laughed hard. Crackling. “Did I, maybe… interrupt something?” he asked in between laughter, intentionally wanting to spite Starr.Starr groaned so lowly, one might have mistaken it f
