MIRABEL“Baby! Baby! Baby! Oh I’m like!” I screamed on top of my voice as I sang to Justin Bieber song.We were at the karaoke and when Giveon said the night was just starting, he didn’t lie because we’ve been singing and drinking alcohol after every song to make it fun.I’m not drunk, just tipsy and happy. I don’t drink alcohol but he made me drink it, telling me it’s three percent and it won’t do anything to me. “Yes! I did it! Your turn!” I jumped on him and he caught me.“Steady.” He tittered. “You seem overly excited. Are you sure that you are fine?” He asked and nodded my head in response.“Of course I’m fine. It’s your turn! I want you to twerk while singing,” I blurted and he chuckled hard.“Are you tipsy?” He asked and I shook my head.“Could have fooled me because you are overly excited and free.”“Am I not supposed to?” I asked and he shook his head.“Not at all. You are free too.” He replied before assisting me to sit.He chose to sing birds of a feather by Billie eillish
MIRABEL“Are you going to keep ignoring me?”I was tired of fighting. I was tired of acting like I didn’t care because I was and I’ve decided to drop my pride and speak to him.“I already explained what happened. Why are you avoiding me?”“I’m not avoiding you.” He replied.“Could have fooled me but I’m not convinced. You don’t even want to talk to me. I mean take a look at now, you won’t even look at me so are you avoiding me or you aren’t?” I folded my arms across my chest.He sighed deeply, finally turning to look at me.“I meant every word that I said the other day. I like you Mirabel and I’m willing to do anything to make what it is that we have work. When you dismissed me the other day after I explained to you that what you think you saw isn’t what it is, I was hurt. I just….” He trailed off, sighing.“I’m willing to fight until I win your heart. I know it’s not going to be easy but I’m willing and ready but when it feels like there’s no hope, it’s a little sad.” He explained.“
MIRABELIs he angry with me? I asked myself as I watched Giveon walk past me without saying a word to me for the third time.Okay, maybe I had something to do with it after asking him to leave my room. “Hey.” I finally chose to speak to him.”“Hi.” He replied and his tone was somehow dismissive.“How are you?” I asked.“Good.” He replied.“Are you okay?” I asked and that was somehow weird coming from me.“You know about what happened earlier in my room…” “You don’t have to talk about it. You already made it clear.” He cut me off and it was surprising because I didn’t expect it.“Is that what we are doing? Anyways I’m going to speak and you will listen.” I replied. “I want to let you know that I believe you. I just didn’t like what I saw and it affected me a little bit but I’m fine now knowing that what I thought is not what happened.”“Okay.” He replied and I scoffed.“Are you trying to give me the taste of my own medicine?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He replied.“Wow
GIVEON JAMESON POV“Where is she?” “She’s in her room,” Miranda answered.As soon as I was done with work, I made my way home. I had tried to reach out to her but couldn’t so I contacted Michael who told me that she was feeling sick so he let her go.I wanted to leave the office and go to her immediately but because of my schedule, I couldn’t. I’ve been unable to concentrate as she was the only one in my mind.Today was supposed to be good but Miriam somehow found a way to fuck it up. I felt terrible. I didn’t know how to explain to her that what she saw was not what it looked like.I gently knocked on her door, waited a few seconds for answers before going in but got none. That made me panic a little. I knocked again one but no response so I let myself in only to see her sleeping on the bed peacefully.That made me worry as I questioned if she was indeed sick. I walked closer to her to take a closer look at her face and I never thought that watching someone while they sleep would be
MIRABELI stood in shock as I watched the questionable sight in front of me.Miriam was on Giveon's desk while Giveon was leaning close to her. Judging from the angle I saw it from, it looked like they kissed. I don't want to conclude on that so soon but it was worse when he turned to look at me and he had a shocking look on his face with his tie and the first button of his shirt undone.His eyes met mine and all I could see in his eyes was guilt. I felt like screaming. I’ve never felt this way before. I didn’t even know how to describe my emotions. I felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach. Miriam’s lipstick was smudged and she had a pleasing look on her face.I didn’t know how to feel at that moment. I didn’t know what to say or how to act so I did what I was good at and that was walking out of the scene.“Mira, wait!” I heard Giveon call my name but I didn’t stop. I didn’t want to speak to him. I didn’t wake to see his face. I didn’t want to hear what he had to say. I felt betr
MIRABELEver since our little singing moments, I could tell that he wanted to kiss me just as I wanted to kiss him. We were so close to kissing until the voice of the people present broke us apart. We’ve been stealing glances at each other ever since.The night was fun and probably one of my best nights ever. “I still cannot believe that you are married to the CEO. You are the CEO’s wife. It feels real and somehow doesn’t feel real at the same time and the way he keeps staring at you is so lovely. I’m happy for you.” Beauty whispered beside me as she kept looking at the direction of Giveon.“I cannot believe I kept trying to hook you up with someone while you were married. So I’m the single lady amongst the both of us?” She remarked and I chuckled lightly.“You are not single. You are in a relationship.” I reminded her. “When they ask questions, they ask, single or married and since I’m not married, I’m single. Yes I’m in a relationship but I’m not married.”I nudge her lightly w
