Jane's POV:
I was staring at him. He looked concerned. Now, I noticed how handsome he is. His handsome face was breathtaking and his blue eyes were concerned; but why? And how did he save me?
I was wrapped in his arms. I shook all the thoughts away and pushed him hard. He let me go. I shouted at him, "You saved me, how dare you? Didn't I tell you to leave! I am not the one you knew yet you interfered in my plan to die. I am not her, I am Jane! Jane Macarove! Do you understand that I failed in my attempt to end my life just because of you? Do you know how much courage it takes for someone to decide and try to end their life? I don't want to see you ever again in my whole life! "
He looked hurt and tried to say something but I stopped him, turned around and ran. I ran as fast as I could let my tears fall freely.
When I couldn't run anymore, I started walking slowly. I saw a bar at that corner and went inside. The place is dim-lit and there were few people at this hour of the night. I took a table and signaled the waiter to come.
"Your order, please?" asked the waiter. "Get me anything with high alcohol percentage," I told him.
After a few minutes, he brought a bottle and a glass and started pouring alcohol into the glass. "Leave the bottle here, I will help myself," I told him and he left.
I filled my glass. I will die drinking alcohol now! I took a sip. Yuck!! It's sour! This is the first time, no second time I'm drinking alcohol otherwise I always have wine. I drank alcohol with him. He told me I'm a bad drinker...
Flashback:
"Just tell me what I did! Why are you laughing?" I asked him. But he kept laughing. I made a puppy face and begged, "Pleaseee.." He looked at me and stopped laughing.
"Jane, you are such a bad drinker," Mark said and started laughing again.
I have been dating Mark for about two months now. Mark is handsome with golden hair and brown eyes.
I met Mark two months ago at a restaurant where he works as a waiter.
That day I was bored and so I went out to explore the city where I can never go or my friends will never accompany me.
When I went there, we fell in love at first sight with each other.
We came for a holiday to Hawaii. Yes, I lied to my parents. I'm the daughter of a big businessman so, I don't think dad will ever approve of Mark that easily.
"Just tell me what I did. Stop laughing and tell, did I say something?" I asked him and tried to close his mouth with my hands to make him stop but failed and he started laughing more due to my failed attempt. I made a crying face.
He saw me and controlled his laughter and said, "Ok ok, I will tell you. You know you drank so much yesterday that you passed out and when I was carrying you back from the bar you opened your eyes, saw me and started shouting that you love me. And you told me to let you down on your feet and when I did, you started stopping people to tell them that you love me and then passed out again."
He started laughing again recollecting those memories.
"Really? I did that?" I asked embarrassed.
"Yes!" he said laughing.
That day everyone was staring and laughing at me when we went out and Mark, he laughed for the whole week. He told me not to drink when he is not around.
Present :
I shook my head to clear my mind of those memories. I shouldn't think of him, he is the first mistake of my life. I'm here just because of him. I poured some more alcohol into my glass, my vision became blurred. I wiped my tears. I was crying.
I drank more from my glass. The bottle was one-fourth empty when I started feeling dizzy. I couldn't keep my eyes open and everything became dark.
When I woke up, I was in my bed, in my home. But, how? Was that all a dream?
Barry's POV : I was waiting for her to answer, concerned but she did keep staring at me. Then suddenly she tried to push me so, I let her go. She shouted at me angrily, "You saved me, how dare you? Didn't I tell you to leave! I am not the one you knew yet you interfered in my plan to die. I am Jane! Jane Macarove! Do you know I failed in my attempt to end my life just because of you? Do you know how much courage it takes for someone to decide and try to end their life? I don't want to see you ever again in my whole life!" Then she turned around and ran away. I was hurt not because of her words but because she was hurt. But, why? Why does it concern me this much? Why does it hurt to see her hurt? I never felt like this not even for Rosy. I hardly know her and her sadness concerns me this much, why? I want these answers and the answers for the questions she refused to tell me.
I woke up to find myself in my bed. But, how did I get here? I was drinking at the bar. Was that all a dream? But my head is hurting like hell. I check my hand, it's scratched. So, it was real. But how did I get here? Maybe I am not a bad drinker and I managed to come back home by myself. Mark must have lied to me; he had always lied to me. I suddenly remembered that he saved me, that stupid guy. I really don't wanna see his face ever again. I got up from my bed angrily and shook my head to clear my mind. I shouldn't think about him, anyway I won't meet him again. And now I should get ready I have a job. But before that, I have something to do. I took out all the pics of Mark tore them and burned them. I also deleted all his pics from my phone. I don't want him or his photos or his memories in my life. I sighed and closed my eyes for some time. Then I went to take a quick shower and got dressed. I'm not hungry so I
"Jane! Jane!" Emma and Lily came running to me when I reached the restaurant. "What happened?" I asked tensely."Someone bought the restaurant and our new owner will be coming any minute!"Lily said tensed."What if he changes the staff? I don't want us to separate."Emma said with tears in her eyes."Emma, nothing like that is going to happen. Trust me we will work here or anywhere else but together." I said hugging her.Lily hugged us both.I was tensed too but I don't want to think anything negative. Everyone was here and they were all tensed.Just then a guy in a black suit came in. He was handsome with black hair, brown eyes, and a handsome face. He scanned the restaurant thoroughly and then cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me, I am John. I want all the staff to assemble here and stand in a line. Sir is going to be here in few minutes."We all stood side by side in a line. John was at t
Barry's POV :I bought the restaurant where she works and the bar where she drinks, to be close to her.I know she is angry that I bought the restaurant and on top of that I made her my personal cook and waitress. But, I want her to be near me and this was the only way.I asked her friends, Emma and Lily about her past life. They first hesitated to tell me anything but when I told them that I have to know this so that I can understand her more and get involved in her life, they told me about her past.They told me that, she is the daughter of a big businessman and a year ago she met a guy who was a waiter and she fell in love with him but her father came to know about this six months ago and he disapproved of him. So, she left her home and everything for him and called him to tell him that she left everything and will live with him but when she went to him, he was not there and his p
Ring... Ring...My phone rang when I was about to enter my kitchen.I was surprised, as no one calls me this early in the morning. I went to check my phone. It's an unknown number. Who can it be?I picked up the call, "Hello?""Bring coffee to my room." a familiar voice said."What? Who is this?"I asked surprised."You didn't recognize my voice?" he said shocked, sighed, and continued, "It's me, Barry. Your boss. Bring coffee."Now he wants me to bring his coffeeto his house and how did he get my number in the first place. He really is a stalker! This is the limit!!"You are my boss only in the restaurant so, wait until my shift starts. I'm not gonna deliver the coffee to your home."I said irritated."Ok. But you can bring coffee for your new landlord, right? " he asked.New landlord?!! What is he talking about? He didn't...
I woke up to my doorbell. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the time; it's four in the morning! What?! Who is it, this early in the morning?I went to open the main door. When I opened it, I was surprised to see Barry standing there. I rolled my eyes."What are you doing here and that too so early in the morning?" I asked irritated.It's been two weeks since he came to live here as my landlord and this is the first time he came to my house. He only calls whenever he wants anything and I have to take it to his house. But, why is he here today?He came inside without me inviting him in."You are not ready yet? I knew it! I came here to wake you up." he sighed."What do you mean?"I asked surprised.Why do I have to get ready? And what for?"Go and get ready, I will sit and wait for you here." he said and sat on the couch.Now, thi
Barry's POV :We reached the airport. I parked my car in the parking lot and we went inside. We took our tickets and went to check-in. But, Jane is immersed in her thoughts. I want to know what she is thinking. Why is she so distracted? I kept staring at her but I can't make out what she is thinking.We went to check in when she was about to bump into someone when I grabbed her hand to stop her."Be careful!!"I said.She just looked at me and nodded.I didn't let go of her hand till we were inside the plane and she didn't try to shake my hand away, it surprised me. She took the window seat and I sat on the seat beside her.She was so immersed in her thoughts that she forgot to fasten her seat belt so I locked it for her. She got surprised at first and then looked at me. There was something different about her look. What is going on in her mind?As s
Barry is too much! He only had one meeting and he brought me here for a week! And when I complained, he made an innocent face and told me that he wanted to see the place around here. So, I have to accompany him everywhere he goes, and this has been going on for the past four days. I don't think he is interested in seeing the places as he only stares at me. His stares now affect me. It makes me conscious of myself. I don't understand this feeling. This sudden effect of his stares on me.Today, he wants to go to the mall. And so I got ready, I wore jeans and a top but he didn't let me wear it and gave me a dress, yeah a gift from him. And he wanted me to wear it today.When I asked him, why he is giving me a gift and wanted me to wear it, he just said that he liked this dress and so he bought it for me and wants to see me in this.Why? Why did he buy a dress for me? Why does he want to see how I look in this? Why is he bei
