And Alex is back to his moody, standoffish behaviour. Don't you agree it's kinda cute?
If staring hard at the words in a letter could change them, I probably-actually-I would most definitely have been a happier person.Unfortunately, no matter how hard I stared at the caustic words in the letter, foreclosure was foreclosure and that was how it would remain.Dear Miss. Hernandez,Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you.We are taking your house from you.Worst Regards.I know, I know, those weren't the words that were typed in the letter but they might as well have been. No matter how much I tried to unread it, it always came out that way in my mind.I had snatched the letter from Alex's hand yesterday, and stomped into my- his guest room. There, I locked myself inside and made sure no one disturbed me. It was now evening and I was starving. I hadn't tasted a morsel of food since yesterday morning.My stomach growled noisily. I shook my head, because I didn't want to step out of the room and encounter anyone. I was sure Abigail would have broken down the door if she were around
"Of course she loves you." Alex came to my rescue. He walked over to where the boy was staring daggers at me and stooped to his level. "It's just, she had an accident and can't remember some things.""But I'm her brother. She should be able to remember me." The boy's voice had become petulant.I couldn't bring myself to say anything. What could I have said that would make things better? Alex had beat me to it by explaining my situation, but the boy still didn't seem to understand."Listen to me. There are things that happen in the life of a human that are beyond our control, Chito." Alex explained gently."And those things are what is making Mia not remember me?" Chito's eyes swung from Alex's face to mine.My chest tightened. I couldn't breathe. I didn't understand why the universe was so cruel, making me go through my current situation. I wouldn't even wish it on my enemy. How couldmy brother sit in front of me and I didn't remember anything about him. Never mind that, if that woma
I stared at the six dead men still bleeding out on the ground before me.They all had deep stab wounds on different parts of their bodies, deep gouges on their necks and one on the thigh. There was a gunshot wound on one's head as well. The stab wound on the thigh was so deep and so wide, I wondered how Mia had been able to do it. Heck, I wondered how she had singlehandedly killed all six men that weighed more than the average man."Please, move aside Mr. Moore."I moved aside and watched as the medics unzipped body bags and got to work putting each of the men inside. The forensics had done their job taking specimens and pictures, even though it was self defense. I had just finished being quizzed by all five of the policemen who were currently huddled together taking notes and staring at me intermittently.All five of them had showed up approximately six minutes after I called the break in. After Mia called me down and I set eyes on them, I knew I had to take the fall for killing all
What in the Christian Grey kind of proposal was this? I stared in shock at the letter lying limply in my hand. I double checked for what seemed like the third time, to make sure it was really from Alex. He had even had it stamped and signed, even though it was personally delivered to me by one of his staff. Talk about an official letter, this certainly took the cake. I licked my suddenly dry lips, wondering if I had probably hit my head and misinterpreted the words staring at me in the letter. Chito wheeled himself into the room and I scrambled to hide the letter but it wasn't necessary. He didn't even so much as glance my way. We had fallen into an uneasy kind of relationship where I had become one of the fixtures in the house to him. I, on the other hand didn't know what to say to him whenever I saw him. I couldn't impose my will on Alex and tell him I wanted the boy put in another room. As it stood I was already walking on thin ice, especially after the visit of the six uninvite
I didn't know how I found myself in the middle a woody area, but as I walked into a clearing, I felt a sense of familiarity overwhelm me. A cabin stood, not far ahead, looking like it would fall to pieces at any moment. Spurred on by an inner force, I walked towards it, hesitating for only a brief instance before walking in. The room I entered was sparsely furnished with only two stools at a corner and a long table in the middle. There was really nothing of interest in the cabin but as I turned to walk away, my attention was drawn to a man someone sitting cross legged on a mat in the extreme corner of the room. I unknowingly walking towards the person needing to know who it was. As I got close enough, I noticed a man with bald head and a long white beard. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be meditating. Just then, another man came into the room and bowed low. "Master, there's still no word about her. Maybe we should." "NO!" The white bearded man's eyes flew open. "We can't give
As I got to the room, I was shocked to see Abigail chatting happily with Chito. They turned towards me as I walked inside. "Hi!" My brows furrowed as I gazed at Chito. His face was alive with a smile, his eyes lit from a fire within, but as soon as he set eyes on me, that scowl I had come to know as part of his face, immediately replaced it. My heart sank and I looked away from him. "Hi, Mia, Chito and I were just talking about you. We wondered when you would be back." She gave me a knowing smile as her gaze settled on my clothes. "Excuse me!" Chito said, and immediately wheeled himself out. Immediately he left, Abigail bounded up from the bed and rushed to me. "I want to know everything. Where did you go? Who did you go out with? How great is he in bed? Wh-?" She caught sight of my face and her's turned to a mask of worry as she held my hand. "Are you okay? You look pale, what's wrong?" I sank into the chair at the foot of the bed and stared at the balcony. All I could see was Ch
I wanted her. No. I needed her. Craved to have her, needed to be close to her. Inside of her. I needed to possess her.I wiped the dirty thoughts from my mind as I came down from the plane. I had been too tied up ever since our rendezvous on Friday and hadn't had any spare time on my hands. I had to travel on the spur of the moment the next evening to Italy to check out my new office. I also needed to meet with the new staff there as well. And then there was the issue of Exceva. More great reviews kept coming in and my lab staff in Newark had to bend backwards to create more for the needy consumers, but hey — I wasn't complaining.I went straight to work from the airport for a meeting but could barely concentrate. My mind kept replaying my time with Mia. Her silky skin, pouty lips, and those legs. Those legs had been wrapped around me almost all night on friday, turning me into a caveman. My pants tightened just thinking about her. I didn't want to act all possessive about her that's
I gazed in awe at the plane I was seated in. The upholstery was in a rich coffee brown and all around, the smell of genuine leather assailed my nostrils. Everything screamed rich and classy, reminding me once again that Alex was way out of my league.I will not feel small, not now, maybe never. I am exactly where the universe wants me to be.I mentally gave myself a pep talk as I looked around and caught sight of Chito's smiling face. I was happy he was happy. I could also feel my face stretch impossibly wide in a smile. Truth be told, ever since we stepped into Alex's private plane, it had been bliss.Apart from the red sign which lit up indicating we use our seat belts, I didn't even know when the plane had lifted off the ground. Not until we were side by side the fluffy clouds, did I realize we were high up in the air. I gazed in wonder at them as we sailed past. If not for their colour, they could easily be mistaken for cotton candy.Chito noisily munched on some popcorn beside me
