**Fancy's POV**“What?!” Immediately, I sat up straight from my bed but tried not to scream out in order not to wake my mom. I shook my head in disbelief while staring at the text. I looked at the time and it was 1am. What the hell? How can they terminate my contract at this point of the night, knowing I'll not be able to get to the company by this time. This is unbelievable. I can't believe this one bit! I got out of bed with care and went to the living room. My hands were shaking, and my thoughts were a mess. I haven't recovered from my mom's failed marriage, and now my contract is being terminated by the first company that hired me in New York. What the hell is going on? Why are things getting this messy? What could be the problem?I can't just sit here. I searched for their email on the company's website and left them a message, requesting that they provide me a detail of the reason my contract was being terminated. I tried thinking about what I must have done wrong to make
**Fancy's POV**# Two weeks laterA lot had happened within the span of two weeks. My mom sold her home where she lived with her husband. She even got laid off from work. I had tried to hide the impact of the scandal from her, but she saw the last message from the only company I work for. They terminated my contract and they boldly stated the reason. My mom collapsed when she saw this. I rushed her to the hospital where she got treated. After much deliberation, she decided that we both pack our things and return to Mexico. But I had wanted to find out who did this to us. Whoever it was had succeeded in destroying us, which isn't fair. Whoever did this to us should be caught and punished, but my mom wouldn't let that happen. She just wanted us to leave. We bought a small home in Mexico and we both lived together. I had earlier told my dad about what happened, and he was just as dumbstruck. He suggested that we all live together, but my mom wouldn't allow it. I understand her and I
**Kyle's POV***“Hey man, you came here today. Tell me, is it because of Vanessa?”“What are you talking about? I came to see you, Kevin.”“Oh! So tell me, do you like the atmosphere here?” Kevin asked. I looked around the serene environment and nodded my head. “You did a a great job. Too bad your father might go bankrupt at the rate you're spending his money."“He'll be glad I am. You know, I had wanted to handle his fashion company, but he thinks I'm not talented enough for it. He thinks I lack the tenacity.”“Well, I think so too. No, father would want their son to gamble with the company they've worked so hard for.”“Hey man, don't talk like that. Are you on my side or his?”“I'm on the side of truth. That's all.”“You're unbelievable, get outta here!” Kevin said, and we both chuckled heartily. “So tell me, how did you find me here?”“Well, I felt bored and needed someone to talk to, so I thought of coming here since you invited me before now. I never thought of seeing you, thou
**Fancy's POV**After my conversation with Kevin, I asked him to allow me a week to think things through before I give him a reply. Kevin was indeed a gentleman. He told me he'll wait for my response and wouldn't let anyone take the vacant spot until I had given him my reply. I can't believe this was happening. I had no hope of ever working in this field ever again. I had decided that things wouldn't get better. I thought I should move on to a different career and had even started thinking about a few careers I can go into. “Thank you so much, Kevin. You do not know just how much I appreciate the fact that you considered me for this, even when I know I'm not worth your wait.”“Don't say things like that. It's the loss of those who ended your contract.”Immediately I stood up. I needed someone to talk to concerning this. “Thank you for this, Kevin. I guess it's time I take my leave now. Not to worry, I'll surely give you my reply within a week.”“And I just can't wait to hear from
**Fancy's POV**"I was surprised by the words of Kyle. What was he saying? He slowly walked towards me and covered the distance between us. “I don't think I get you,” I said the words awkwardly. I looked around us and noticed everyone was busy with themselves and didn't care about two people who seemed to be awkward around one another. “Fancy, I kissed you because I wanted to.”My heart skipped, and I instantly felt the cool breeze from the sea hit my skin, which made me shiver at once. I blinked, gawking at him. This can't be true. He probably said that to make a point about what doesn't relate to what I thought it was. “Why are you telling me this? I mean, I know you don't have feelings for me, so…”He suddenly raised his hand up to my face, while looking at me with dreamy eyes which I noticed were focused on my lips. This feels so awkward. Why was he staring at me this way? “Fancy, I know you will not believe me, but I want you to know that what I feel for you is the same as
***Fancy's POV**“Oh dear! What happened? I should get you a glass of water.”With that, my mom scurried to the fridge. God help me! How the hell did she even conclude that?If I wish to avoid further questions then I have to leave as quickly as possible. Immediately, I headed towards the door. “Honey, where are you going? You should have some water before you leave.”“I'm sorry mom, I'll be late!” I said, hurrying away.As soon as I was far away from my house, I heaved a long deep sigh. My goodness! I had been in so much of a hurry that I didn't realize my phone alarm was vibrating. Gosh! I looked at the time, and it read 8: am. The game starts at 9: am. So, I have about an hour to get there. A smile spread across my lips, knowing I was going to see him play hockey for the first time in 2 years. I wonder how he'll look now on the field. One thing is certain, he'll win the game. Not that I was sure he would. It was just a feeling, and this brings me back to memory lane. I just re
***Kyle's POV**My fans gathered around me, making it impossible for me to find where she was. I believe I saw her somewhere around here. while signing autographs, I kept scanning the area, hoping to see her. just then I spotted her a few meters from where I was. Fuck! I wonder if she's fed up with the fact that I invited her only to pay attention to my fans rather than her. when I realized this, I quickly discharged those waiting in line that i would postpone signing for the next games. After making a promise, I walked over to where fancy stood with her phone in her ears. I wonder if she was talking to someone I might not know.Since I wasn't patient, I tapped her on the shoulders, which made her tense and slowly turned her gaze towards me.“Kyle, you're done?” she asked, looking behind her. “I appreciate your patience with this. I did not know what they'll be like today. Trust me, this isn't how I wanted things to be. So if-”“Relax, Kyle,” she said, putting back her phone in
***Fancy's POV**This is crazy! Why was Kyle being like this? The more he says things like this, the more my heart beats out of proportion. I hope he doesn't find out that I'm over the moon right now. “Uhm, Kyle, to be honest, I understand how you feel, but can I think this through, please?” I pleaded, even though deep down, all I wanted to do was cover the distance between us and ask him to kiss me again like he did months back. “How long?” He asked. “Huh?” “How long do you want me to wait? Two seconds? One minute? One day?” He said the words breathlessly, like he was about dying from waiting. “My goodness! That's not enough time to think -” he suddenly covered the distance between us, taking my lips in a hot, passionate kiss. I froze under his kiss and smelled the woods from the wine coming from his mouth. It was heavenly and seductive. I know I should stand my ground in order not to look too cheap, but that was rather too hard for me to do. Just then, he broke the kiss to l
