Harper

I woke up at exactly 7am the next morning, all thanks to the alarm I had set on my phone the night before and had almost regretted the moment it started screaming in my ear.

My day off was officially over and I had to be at work right on time, though honestly, I didn't expect Mirella to be so understanding yesterday, she didn't even ask what the emergency was which only made me feel a little more guilty.

“I’ll tell her what happened today.” I exhaled, pushing the sheets off and standing

    Harper I was the first to pull my lips away and the soft breath that followed grazed the bridge of my nose. My hand was still on his bare chest, pressed against his heart and I could feel the rhythm multiplying by the second. The vibration made me shudder, so I quickly lowered my hand. I fluttered my eyes as his hand around my waist slowly loosened. Santiago looked at me with the kind of longing that I hadn’t seen in his eyes before or even in anyone else’s eyes, not even Nicholas. One that I thought was impossible for me to even see in any man’s eyes when he looked at me. I quickly turned away, tucking loose strands of invisible hair away from my face. I was so mesmerized I forgot my hair was in a tight bun.“I hope you won’t call this a mistake?” He muttered, his voice breaking the awkward silence and I coughed into my fist. “Uhm… why would I do that?” I whispered, nervously rubbing my cheeks with my hands to calm them from heating up uncontrollably but that was a fruitless at

    Harper As I sat in the back seat of the taxi I boarded to take me home after work, I couldn’t help but everything that happened in such a short time. Each time I think I’ve found happiness, something ruins it. Is the moon goddess against me? What on earth does Jennifer mean by Smith is going to handle the presentations of my designs? My designs! My work! I took a deep breath, my eyes fixed out the windows as I watched the city lights and people who probably didn’t have as much problems as I did. “Where here ma’am.” The driver called out, his eyes fixed on me through the rearview and I immediately jolted back to reality.I had no idea we’d gotten to the apartment already. “Thank you.” I exhaled, handing him his payment and pushing the door open. The air was cold as I stepped onto the concrete of the parking lot. I drew in several breaths letting the cold air fill my lungs hoping it would calm the storm brewing inside of me. I adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder, and walk

    Harper Work returned to normal and I tried as much as I could to be back on Jennifer’s good side. During the morning briefings, I gave my two cents and tried to smile at her; but the displeasure in her eyes towards me was very much glaring. Smith had returned from the trip already and I couldn’t get to him no matter how much I tried. He seemed too busy all of a sudden and for some reason, I slowly fell into the shadows. My new designs were ready and I couldn’t wait to show them to Jennifer. This time, a few of the pieces were actually inspired by a rare flower I saw in the Montero courtyard the last time I visited. “She’ll be dazed by this sketch..” I muttered under my breath as I finalized the last touches and had them printed out. My heels clicked against the floors, echoing through the quiet hallway that led to Jennifer’s office. I could hear voices coming out of her office and I waited by the door until whoever was in there with her finished their business. My left foot tap

    Harper “So I’m asking again, would you mind going on a trip with me?” “Santiago, this is all very new.” I finally got rid of the nerves. “Did you hit your head somewhere?” I asked and he chuckled softly. “It’s just that, since you’re not going on this business trip, I was thinking it’ll be okay for me to make it up to you with an even better trip.. like a vacation or something of that sort.” He explained and I crossed my eyes. “Better than global recognition as the brain behind one of the biggest auction pieces in the entire world?” I sneered and he shook his head almost immediately. “I didn’t mean it that way, I just want it to be my own way of apologizing..” he said and I let out a heavy sigh. “Well, that was so unexpected..” “So what do you say?” He urged on, the tone of his voice unusually soft like he was more of begging than asking me. This has dragged on too long, one would think he wants to kill me and take my soul. “I’d love a good time away from all this noise but a

    HarperI gave his knee a small pat and went back to my cooking. My heart was thumping a little too fast, and it didn’t until the pasta was cooked and the sauce was ready and the chicken was roasted.I was just too excited to cook for him and deep down I knew why. I set the table to his large, unused dining table that had nothing on it but dust, with two plates, two glasses of water, and then I called him over.“Can you come over here or do you need help?” I asked. “I can.” He replied softly. As we ate, the apartment was quiet except for the clink of our forks against the plates.I had put too much pasta on his plate. I realized that now as I watched him push it around slowly. I would have thought it tasted horribly if not for the was he was eating. So hungrily, like someone who hadn't eaten properly in days. Well he actually had not eaten in days. His headache was still there, I could tell by the way he kept pressing his thumb against his temple every few minutes with his eyes s

    HarperHis head fell back against the couch cushion again with a soft thud, like it had become too heavy for him to hold up anymore."Goddess." he muttered, pressing the edge of his palm hard against his forehead and his eyes squeezing shut. "My head is aching and it’s pounding." He muttered. He tried to lie back down properly, shifting sideways, curling a little into himself and wincing like his whole body ached. I instinctively reached out to him, my hand hovering over his shoulder but not quite touching."Hey, hey, don't move too much or you'll hurt yourself again." I said quickly, my voice softening without me even meaning to. "Just lie back down slowly." I warned, and he obeyed, stretching out his legs and covering his eyes with his arms. I sat there for a second, watching his chest rise and fall and watching the way his jaw was still tightened even while he was trying to rest.He looked so cute and helpless and I had to bite my lower lip to force myself to look away. "Do you
