~Rubel~
Tuesday morning, the second morning of the week that I never liked. I mean, who made them these days?
Something inside me told me I had to wake up and run towards my office. But why?
Suddenly, I threw the blanket to the side and jumped out of bed.
"Shit."
How did I forget I have only two days left to find that fucking savior photographer who could save my burning ass, aka my job.
I was hopping around, trying to take out the bed sheet from my foot.
THUD
Why? Why does everything happen to me?
My ass thudded against the floor.
"What a great way to start the morning?" I cussed.
Well, I finished my morning business and reached the office. Not to mention, I didn't have my breakfast because, at the present, it was more important for me to find my savior.
The elevator door opened and there Max jumped on me, pulling me aside.
"Babe, I have good news for you."
"What? Did Mr. Smith die last night?"
Shit. I regretted my words. You know that's why people say think before you speak. Max's expression changed as he hated me for wishing somebody's death.
"I am sorry."
"Well, forget it. Come here." He pulled me behind that artificial plant to reveal something.
"What?"
"Yesterday I found your model. And today..." he wiggled his brows, twerking his neck like a chicken.
I furrowed my brows. "Max... Max…"
"I found the photographer for you."
Woah, that was the biggest news he could have given me. I jumped and screamed, making other people look at me.
"Fuck... yes!" I hugged him and kissed his beard cheeks. "I love you for this. Friday evening party on me, pizza and beer," I promised.
He agreed.
"Where is my savior - my hero," I moaned, pushing my boobs upwards, fixing my top.
He looked at me with a smirk. "Please don't do that. You don't have it."
It hurts when a gay man, commenting on my underdeveloped boobs.
"Shut up, and tell me, where is he?"
"He is in the boardroom. His name is Darius Delucia, and one of the handsome men," Max moaned.
Ugh, that was not the time to think him without cloths, Max.
"Max, focus."
"Yeah, yeah. He’s very good at his work. I saw his social media and website. he is fucking awesome."
Well, those were the words I needed to hear. It was soothing to hear he has talent, which I am sure is going to save my job.
"How do you know him?"
"He is my boyfriend, friends-friend."
I rolled my eyes. Well, why do I care where he comes from, anyway.
We walked towards the board room, and Max prepared me on what to expect.
"Be confident, and don't try to seduce him with your looks. You don't have it," Max added, not realizing how harsh he can be at times.
"Ouch, you are hurting me. Well, I don't care what he looks like, all I know is you saved me."
I gave him a flying kiss as I touched the doorknob. He stopped me, signaled me to rub my lips together. I winked and followed suit as fresh blood rushed into my lips. I was all set to enter the board room.
"Hello, Mr. Delucia. I am–" I extended my hand towards him.
This can't be happening.
"You."
"You."
"You know each other," Max interrupted.
"I don't believe this." He blasted a look at me.
"Oh, my God. I can't believe this. Who allowed you to come here?"
Max pressing my hand, I turned towards him. "He’s your savior,"
"Fuck to the savior, and the party is canceled."
"Well, I can't work with an arrogant lady like this."
That fucking, Delucia, how dare he called me arrogant.
"Even, I can't handle a pervert like you," I scowled, pointing at him with my sharp, manicured nails.
Max walked towards him, trying to calm things. "Mr. Delucia, please wait. Could you tell me what happened?"
He snorted like he wanted to kill me. Well, I had the same expression.
"This mad girl threw my fifteen-thousand-dollars camera in the pond yesterday."
That was funny. I enjoyed it.
…Wait… what? Fifteen thousand.
Max's cute puppy eyes changed into vampire's when he looked at me like I had lost my mind. "What?"
"Yes, because he annoyed me to a level, I could no longer control myself." I accepted the crime I committed.
Fucking, Delucia stared at me before he turned away. "I am out of here."
He opened the door and left while Max glared at me without words.
"Max, you don't know–"
"Idiot, that was your chance to save your job. Remember your savior?"
All my enthusiasm for winning the battle drained out of me. How can I deny the fact, I screwed up.
"Shit,"
"Max."
"Nope, no… never... I am not going to help you. You are out of your mind."
Being the winner of the best drama queen, I feel on his feet. "Max, please save me and this deal."
He raised his hand. "He is leaving. Do whatever you can and save yourself. I am not helping you."
I guess, He was right, but I couldn't help what came next..
"Well, fuck you," I answered and stood, trying to run after that fucking Delucia.
He was not in the hallway. I looked down to the floor below, I could see him on the ground floor.
"Mr. Delucia, please wait!"
~Rubel~"Mr. Delucia, please wait!"He didn't listen.I am dead, dead. Pressing the elevator button impatiently, finally, I took the stairs to stop him.I could see him reaching the exit. With heels, I ran making, a clunking sound after him."Please, stop!""What?" he almost shouted, turning back to me."I am sorry," I said.Well, I am not.”"I am sorry for yesterday, and..." I panted, trying to catch my breath.I am not sorry. I should've thrown you in that pond. Wait, I did."Ms. Rubel, I am not interested.""Please, Mr. Delucia. Don't leave this project because you don't like me. If you join this, it will save my job, too."What all the men wanted was one thing in their life to feel important.He crossed his hand over his chest, looking away towards the busy street. He needs more importance. hungry pervert."I will pay for your camera. I will make it up to you."He looked towards me and I took good care of my emotions. I practiced several times looking in the mirror. Puppy eyes wou
It's been two days. My life seemed to turn upside down since the day Delucia entered my life. No wonder I had food dreams that night because for the entire day, I was working like a dog. I didn't get time to sleep, neither did I eat. Now I understand, I’m really a victim of somebody's curse."I am telling you, somebody cursed me."Entering the office while talking to Anna on the cellphone, she dismisses me with a giggle. "Shut up, Rubel. It's just you are working too much. Or should I say he is making you work, which you never wanted?""He never misses a chance to insult me."Well, there was no point crying over the same thing again and again but for the last two days, I’ve been cursing my life. Is it a crime to expect a normal loving life? A loving husband and a big family? Did I ask more from this life? Or It's not in my destiny to be happy?"Babe, are you there?" Anna dragged me out of my thoughts."Yeah, I am here.""Rubel, cheer up. This is just a bad stroke of luck. It will pass
"What if she doesn't agree?" I asked, then stopped to look at him."Yeah, yeah. I will tell her what she wants to hear."I understood that part. I could hear his suppressed giggles. He must have thought how stupid I was to justify my point without any base.A few minutes later Aurora was ready as the makeup artist caked her face with makeup and shiny solution to enhance her bikini line.Great, I accepted that she has a beautiful body, but this? Walking in front of the screen, I could see the drooling mouth of Delucia.He walked over and fixed Aurora's hair."Perfect," pecked a kiss on her cheek, which she gladly accepted.The shoot started and Max and I stood like two monkeys, observing their flirting."You need a man like him.""No, Max. He is not the man I would prefer. I need an honest man, not a man whore." With fingers inverted commas, I highlighted my reason."At least use him for some time to enhance your underdeveloped beauty," Max chuckled."Miss Rubel, please hold the fan ne
~Rubel~It's a funny Friday. My favorite day of the week. Not to mention after my strange encounter with Delucia, this week was a pathetic run of events for me. Marcus plus Delucia is the worst combination.It's midday, and I am sitting in the salon with Anna as we are enjoying the Thai massage we needed to relax."Ohhh, I needed this," I moaned."So what's the plan after this? Going home and crying for your one true love?" Anna teased."Shut up. My crying time is over. Why would I cry? I am going to spend my time with Liam and Max.”She chuckled, suggesting, "Seriously? I would be happy if you want to join me.""Nah, you go on your date. It's been a long time you didn't have sex because of me. Go enjoy this one. Tell him to work out your juices properly," I replied without thinking about the lady who was massaging my back. I looked back with a shameless face."I think you need it more than me," Anna replied."Oh! I want to, but at present, I don't have many options." I rolled my eyes
I gave a final look in the mirror and threw a final kiss to my reflection."Not today, babe. Let him rest today, for tomorrow, he will become your servant."A while later I reached Max’s place where Liam opened the door and hugged me."Hey, beautiful.""I missed you.""I missed you too.""Max told me about that idiot."Liam knew about Marcus? Not again, I came here to forget about him."I don't know what’s wrong with me. Maybe this universe doesn't want me." The pain came out before I realized what I had said."Come on, it's not like that. We want you. That idiot doesn't know he missed out on a beautiful girl."Aww, look at him. He tried to make me happy. I smiled as we entered the pool area. Startled, it was not what I expected. There were more people than I anticipated."I thought it's just a few friends.""I thought of inviting my friends, plus yours too.""Mine? I have only Max," I grumbled, rolling my eyes.He took me to a group where he introduced me to his colleagues."This is
~Rubel~The weekend flew by in a blink of an eye. I just don't understand why the weekends never felt lengthy.Well, I did some cleaning, laundry, shopping, and lots of gossip with my friend Anna. We talked about the juicy parts of her night, and so on.I opened my email before setting the alarm and Delucia called everyone at seven."Is he mad or what?" I rolled my eyes.Well, I would take my proper nap as neither his emails, nor his rules, matter to me. With a devilish smirk, I hopped into my cozy bed. It's a wonderful feeling, a cold night, and a warm blanket.***BEEP BEEP BEEP"Not again."My face stuffed inside my pillow while my hand tried to find my lost phone."Hello.""Ru, where are you? Didn't you get the email? Darius is waiting. We have to take some shots at sunrise."I wiped my drooling mouth with another hand with heavy eyes. I looked at the digits displayed on my watch. 7:10 AM."Ru...""Ummm... Max...""Rubel, wake up. Do you want to lose your job? What if he tells Mr.
He offered me a deal. Is this some kind of trap?"What?""I know how desperate you are to get married and fall in love… blah… blah… shit. I can help you with that. In return, I want you to keep your mouth shut."Wait, wait.I repeated the same words in slow motion. My mind stopped working when something happened in my favor."What?""Yes, I am a man. And I know how desperate you want true love in your life. I can teach you how to handle a man and how to act."He furrowed his brows waiting for a reply while I was still processing."And why should I listen to you?"He gently held my hand and made me sit on the chair. "I want to help you, and you can help me keep this project successful."Since when was this project so important to him? What game he is trying to play with me?"Why is this project important to you?""I have my own issues. All you need to know, if I lose this project, I may not be able to prove my worth."My worth… That made me emotional for a second."How can I trust you?
It was indeed the worst deal I made in my life; I cursed myself for creating and accepting the biggest stupid decision."Come on, four more minutes,""What?""Yes, four more minutes,"I never thought my body would feel so heavy in a plank position.ThudThat was the third time I fell on my mouth.(Any last wish, Rubel,Yes, I want to have intense sex before I die in this gym, today)"Rubel, get up." I wanted to burn his soul in hell.Not to mention, after leaving the office, yesterday he forced me to come to the gym,"Be ready; we will go to the gym in the morning as six," Darius said."I have never been to the gym, that place scares me. And I am not a fat person,"I twirled my body to prove my point. "It's not about losing weight; it's about building strength,"Max hummed in agreement with Darius,"Ok,"I knew I had to agree, but who cares, he didn't know my house, and no one in this world could wake me up early this morning.With a broad smile and an obedient student agreement, I co
