Daisy

I had just finished patting in the last of my moisturizer when my phone buzzed beside the bed. I sighed, half-expecting it to be another ramdom email, but when I picked it up and saw Liam’s name and I immediately rolled my eyes.

Why is he even texting me? - I thought to myself as I clicked on the text and read it.

“Hey… I know I probably ruined everything, and I’ve said I’m sorry already. But please, give me a chance to make it up to you. I know I’m probably the last person you want to go out with at the moment but if you could just give me this chance to prove to you that I only have true intentions for you. Go out on a date with me tomorrow evening, and this time there are no strings or conditions attached. No pressure either. I just want to spend time with you and show you how much I care about you. You mean a lot to me, Daisy, let me show you.”

I stared at the message for a long minute. My heart felt like it was doing backflips… angry flips, confused flips, and the annoying

  • Falling for my Billionaire Crush   I have to get my Daisy back

    TonyIt had been two weeks since Daisy left… fourteen damn days without hearing her voice, seeing her face, or feeling her presence in my space. The house feels cold and the office feels quiet and dull without her. I told myself I was giving her time, that I was respecting her space but the truth is I was counting every second.I’d tried calling a few times not obsessively though, but enough that I hoped she’d know I cared. Each time, it only beeped but never went though. I know she’s avoiding me intentionally and I actually deserve it. I stopped calling and just buried myself in work, hoping she would give me a chance to make it up to her soon.Sitting in the conference room going over this expansion project, I just couldn’t stop thinking about her. I tried to shake off the feeling and just focus on work. This is a new territory and the project would bring in huge money if done well. I’d gone to meet with the clients the other day when I left abruptly without telling Daisy. I lost

  • Falling for my Billionaire Crush   I’m going to give him a chance!

    Daisy The drive back was quiet and the mood in the car was so soft and still like the night itself was holding its breath.I sat with my hands folded in my lap, looking out the window as the streetlights painted golden streaks across the car. Liam didn’t say much, but his presence comfortably filled the space between us. At some point, I pretended to be sleeping just so he wouldn’t talk to me. It wasn’t like I didn’t want to talk to him or anything, I just didn’t know if he would stop at a simple harmless conversation or go further and talk about us and honestly, I didn’t know if I was ready to talk about it.“Hey…” he let out softly while I opened my eyes and looked up. He was just finally pulled up in front of my house then. He turned the engine off and didn’t make a move to open the door just yet.“I had a really nice time tonight,” he said, voice low and genuine while I turned to face him. The lights from the dashboard lit up his face just enough for me to see the way he was w

  • Falling for my Billionaire Crush   Just this night

    DaisyLiam didn’t keep me waiting long, barely two minutes after I sent the text, my phone buzzed.“Thank you, Daisy. I know I don’t deserve this chance, but I promise I won’t disappoint you. Don’t worry about the address. Just dress up and be ready by 6pm. I’ll send a car to pick you up.”I exhaled, staring at the message while a part of me was tempted to roll my eyes at the whole “just dress up” mystery vibe, but another part of me… the softer, messier, hopeful part… kind of liked it.Still, I kept my expectations low. That was my emotional defense mechanism now… I’m not going to hope too much, or lean in too fast, and definitely won’t assume anything means more than it is…I spent most of the afternoon pacing around the house, avoiding my phone, avoiding my reflection, avoiding my parents’ curious glances. My mom was obviously trying to keep herself from asking too many questions, but she hovered more than usual. Around five in the evening, I finally got up from bed and started dr

  • Falling for my Billionaire Crush   An honest shot…

    DaisyI woke up feeling... dull. I wasn’t exactly sad, but I was not okay either. I was just sort of suspended like I was in a space between feelings, waiting to land somewhere solid.The room was quiet except for the soft hum from outside. I laid there for a while, staring up at the roof, trying to piece my thoughts together but they kept scattering the moment I tried to hold onto them.Eventually, I peeled myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom to wash up. The cold splash of water on my face helped, but only a little. I looked at myself in the mirror and barely recognized the mess of emotions swimming in my eyes.By the time I got back into the room, towel still wrapped around my head, my phone buzzed on the nightstand.I checked and saw it was another text message from Liam.“Talk of the devil…” I thought to myself as I swiped to the side and opened the message.“Good morning, Daisy. I expected a response from you last night but none came. I actually understand you don’t want

  • Falling for my Billionaire Crush   Enough of waiting…

    OliviaI don’t know if it was the way he held the door for me like he always did, or the way he brushed his palm against the small of my back without even thinking but something about today made me believe maybe, I had a real shot.I had played it cool for months… just smiles, light teasing, longer glances when he wasn’t looking but nothing stuck. Jack was either oblivious or deliberately playing dumb, and honestly, I couldn’t tell which was worse. But I’d had enough of waiting, I’m not going to sit around hoping for him to read my mind.That was why I took the chance today and asked that we go out for lunch. I was going to take a no for an answer too because I already made some plans like booking for table reservations.Once we entered, one of the waiters So I took a chance led us to our table. I specifically asked for one near the window, low lighting, and not too loud. Just enough distance from the main crowd to feel like something more than coworkers grabbing lunch.Jack sat down
