“What are you doing here, Jared?” I questioned when I finally found the strength to stand up. Tyler wrapped his hands protectively around me and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I was the person on earth who needed protection. I was used to surviving on my own ever since I was born. It’s first nature.“So it’s him…? He’s the one you left me for?” Jared questioned as he stood in his black tuxedo. His lips pursed in a line as his gaze burnt into my skin the desire for an explanation filled his eyes.“You seem to forget one thing,” I said as I took a step forward. “We were never together” I reminded him softly and matched his stare. “That’s why you found the next… gullible guy to hook up with? Just to get off the streets?” Jared spat.I sighed. Took in his words and marched over to him, when I was close enough I ensured my hand collided with his cheek hard enough to snap his head in the wrong direction. Jared’s eyes widened and I heard Tyler stiffen a chuckle
I shoved my hands into my pocket and walked down the street. It felt like a good time to visit that artistic company and review that offer, Right? The sun was still up, the only problem was that I wasn’t sure about the address and I can’t even remember where I had dropped the file. So many things had happened and now... I breathed. I honestly needed to breathe.I felt around my pockets and hit a rectangular square, Realization hit me and my lips curled upwards as I recalled that I had collected the man’s business card. I brought it out and looked over it, it was a gold business card with silver linings around it, a business number and address were engraved at the bottom and the top had the initials SA. I raced the initials with my fingers and I had to admit it was a beautiful design. Smith Adams, sat at the top right, So Smith Adams was his name? Well at last I have some information on the man now. I ran my hands through my hair, then hailed a taxi. In a few minut
I got out of the car and paid the taxi driver. The man simply collected the money and drove off. I stumbled back as my eyes came in contact with the tall and elegant building. It had ‘ADAMS’ Written boldly at the top, at this rate, it felt like a trademark. As I took tentative steps toward the building, I could not help but gawk at the designs. The sight from afar did not do any justice to the beautiful exterior designs and the aura of the building, it felt and smelt like home. The doors of the building opened the moment my I was an arm's length away. A small smile grew on my lips as I walked in. The last time I had stepped into a building like this was a few years ago when I visited Derek’s company to fill in for him. That company was currently mine but that was not the point.I increases my pace when I was in the building, the walls were adorned with artistic paintings, and I mentally calculated how long it must have taken to design and finish them, the effort, the time, the dedic
"You are finally here," Mr. Adam smith spoke from behind his desk the moment I stepped into the office. Mr. Hermès had opened the door.“I figured I should come and you know, at least what I would be working on,” I replied in a soft tone. The man nodded and tore his gaze from his laptop to me. He had grey eyes and the edges of his lips curled upwards as he stared at me in what seemed to be a wide grin. “Come in, have a seat.” Mr. Adams offered gingerly. I nodded and sat on the chair that was opposite his. My feet tapped against the ground tentatively as I licked my lips and rubbed my hands together.“Your designs were very alluring and I assume that if you are here, it’s to accept my offer, right?” he asked.“Well, not exactly,” I chuckled nervously. “You’ll never believe this, but I lost the file you gave me that day so I didn’t have time to go through the job description properly, I came to request if I could get it and perhaps make my decision now?” I rushed out.The man simply n
“Wow,” I gasped as I started at the apartment in front of me. It was stunning. It had an amazing view and I could not wait to start living there already, I just hoped there were no creepy ghosts like all the movies I had watched.I increased my pace as the chauffeur whom I had eventually found out was a nineteen-year-old Kid led me into the house. Leonardo, The chauffeur seemed to be pretty nice actually. He was kind, smart, and quite intelligent. As I stuck the keys into the door and opened it, a familiar memory rang through my head and I bit my lip, it was funny how life could be so weird at times, Basically, a few weeks ago I was thrown out of my rented apartment and now, well, here I was, standing in front of my apartment. The best part was, that being a doctor didn’t get me this, Being myself, an expressive painter, but it still felt crazy.The door creaked open and Leonardo walked in briskly, I followed him, A grin spread across my lips once I was i
"This dress is really pretty," I commented as I trailed over the purple cotton fabric. The dress had black polka dots which went round and stopped at the waistline. The top was simple but the visible V-neck made me smile a bit, it wasn't too revealing, but I wouldn't look choked up in it either. I picked the dress and walked over to the large mirror that sat in the corner of my room, I placed the dress on myself and sure enough, it would look good on me. I sighed. Charlotte was a nice person. I should do something nice for her too, yes.I blinked and put the dress aside, I was staring at the mirror now, face to face with my reflection and I had to admit that I still looked rather, beautiful. My hands traced my cheeks and neckline, they finally rested on the customized sapphire necklace that sat on my neck. The initials Daddy's princes were inscribed over it and no matter how childish it sounded, It gave me comfort and security,So many times I've wanted to take it off. Especially on
“If you can’t swim, then why jump in?!” I hollered when we were finally out of the lake. I glanced at Tyler, His blue eyes were dull and his fringe was soaking wet as he pushed himself up to a sitting position. “Aren’t you going to say something? Anything?” I demanded. “Look, it’s not like I decided to jump in, dummy, someone threw me in!” He shot back as he sucked in a deep breath, I rolled my eyes.“How was I supposed to know that?” I retorted and ran my hands through my drenched blonde waves. I glanced over at him once again before I sat on the ground and rested on a rock. It was getting late now and although I wanted to be anywhere here, it wasn’t like I could leave him here all alone after all he had done for me, right?“So, how did you get here?” I asked in a low tone. Tyler glanced up but did not acknowledge me at all. I was about to start making snarky remarks about him being ride when I realized something.My eyes widened as I got a closer look at him, I blinked away the ho
I let out a heavy sigh as I pulled into my driveway. My body rested lazily on the driver’s seat and my shoulders slacked with relief, finally, I was home. Oh, sweet home, I could not wait to dive in and just have a long nap because today had been every shade of exhausting.I found it relatively weird that I was sleeping so much lately, probably because I naturally found it hard to sleep or relax because even though my body became drained my mind was always wide awake and replaying worse-case scenarios in my head.I glanced over at Tyler, He was rested on the passenger seat, His fringe was a mess and his eyelids were closed, His lips were slightly parted and he sucked in small puffs of breath every few seconds, I smiled tiredly and got out of the car, It would be another hassle to get him out of the car and this time, My adrenaline had worn out.“Miss Danielle!” Someone called out to me the moment my feet hit the ground, I spun around in the direction of the sound and I locked eyes wit
