Lennox blinked, staring at the foggy meadow that he was surrounded by, big yellow sunflowers glowed in the dusky atmosphere. He felt a presence behind him and he turned to see, his heart hammering against his chest as he came to face Melissa. A burst of soft laughter reached his ear and he turned to see Sophia, all bright and smiley as she held a flower towards him, waving him over.Melissa grabbed his hand, her grip bruising and forcing him to stare at her, the hate in her eyes like choking fumes."You let me die, and now you're happy with her, you never loved me".Lennox shook his head, grabbing at her hand and pulling her closer even as she fought him off. "No you're wrong, it's you I love, you're the only one I'd ever loved".Melissa shoved him off, her skin turning an ugly pale color. "Liar, I hate you. You killed me because of your selfishness. I hate you so much, Lennox. I'll never allow you to be happy with her!" She screamed, her voice like screeching sounds piercing through
Sophia rushed out of the elevator and bumped into Bianca who was waiting at the front of it."Watch where you're freaking going" she yelled, reaching out to steady Sophia to stop them both from tumbling to the floor. They both stood staring at each other before Bianca rolled her eyes and gave an exasperated sigh."Let's go have steak and vodka, you look like a train ran over you".Sophia wiped her tears stained face. "Stop exaggerating, I know I look fine"."Save that for the mirror, now move your ass before I remember that we aren't friends anymore"."You're so mean" she muttered, following her. *****Bianca trudged into the room, holding a bottle of wine."After that steak, I think we need more alcohol".Sophia narrowed her eyes. "You're not trying to get me drunk and kill me in my sleep right?".Bianca scoffed, plunking onto the couch. "Pfft, don't flatter yourself. I've got better things to do than plan your murder... And what's with the quitting, I thought you said the gods abov
Sophia stepped out of Bianca's apartment, wearing the spares that Bianca had grudgingly given to her after throwing a tantrum that they were her favorite pair. "I don't understand why you're up so early, and accompanying me to work, I thought you quit" Bianca huffed, then stared at Sophia who was gently bouncing on her feet. "You quit right?" She asked narrowing her eyes."I did and I didn't. Don't scold me yet" she rushed out as Bianca opened her mouth. "I've been working so hard Bianca, and what? I'm just going to let all that hard work go down the drain. I should be professional about this and not let my personal feelings cloud my decisions, yes he was wrong to call my mother crazy, but it's not like I haven't had the worst bosses, however" she paused as Bianca shook her head, and massaged her temple while radiating frustration."I don't understand you at all... You won't quit until he pushes you off the top floor and ends your life right. You of all people should know that you ca
Lennox watched as she stared at him, her knuckles whitening with the pressure she was applying to her grip on the bag strap. She also appeared to be holding her breath, which was amusing. Lennox pulled back, cursing as he realized what he'd been doing that had caused her to be so anxious.He stared at her, wondering what it was about her that attracted him, what it was making him lose all reasons and just gravitate towards her pull. Not even his horrible dream had been enough to stop him which made him feel guiltier, adding to that the knowledge that he was sexually attracted to her, and yet he was trying to keep her close. It was going to be a recipe for disaster if he continued to let his heart lead him, and not his head, which was more rational.Sophia released her hold, licking her red lips nervously. Lennox groaned low in his throat because that little innocent action went straight through his groin. This was bad, really bad, he told himself as he freaked out internally. He was g
"Where the hell did you keep your phone" Sophia yelled into the device, glaring at the object as if that would make the person on the end feel her wrath. "Can you stop screaming? I'm working, which I assumed you'd be doing since you said you'd be coming back to work today, but you didn't and Lennox is here""Of course, he's there. The talk was a disaster" she said then facepalm."He didn't give you your job back," she asked surprised. "I thought you had it all under control".Sophia seethed. "That is not it. I got my freaking job back, but then I had to open my big mouth and offered to cook for him, which I didn't expect him to accept, but then he did and my house might have been a mess when he came in and I might have fallen and my bra might have flown out of my hand and landed on his face and then the said breakfast was rescheduled for dinner cause of an emergency and now i'm freaking out because I'm freaking out"."Calm down girl, that is a lot of might, so you might want to be mo
Sophia glanced at the clock for the hundredth time before stomping to her feet. "He's such a jerk! I'm sure he's not going to show up for this dinner even tho he knows that I'll be waiting for him. Ugh, I shouldn't have even worried at all, now all this food is going to be wasted" she grumbled petulantly.The doorbell rang making her flinch. Her eyes widened in panic. "Oh my gosh, he's here." She got out, then ran towards the door before pausing midway. "What I'm I even doing? He kept me waiting, so a little payback would be wise right. Sophia smirked, crossing her arms as she listened to the bell ring once, twice...What if he decided to leave. Her heart gave a tug as the thought formed. No, that couldn't happen. She rushed to the door and opened it, coming face to face with Lennox who was now wearing a suit."The meeting took longer than I anticipated" he apologized, his coal-colored eyes fixed on her as if he was seeing her for the first time.Sophia's throat dried up. "It's fine.
Restaurant.Sophia stood up grinning widely as she picked up her glass of wine and raised it."To Sir Lennox, for being the best boss in the world and organizing this awesome dinner. Cheers to Mr. Lennox" she shouted, biting her lips when she noticed him wince as if in pain."Cheers," the other yelled, then clicked their glasses together, before drinking.Sophia sat down hating the fact that she hadn't considered Lennox aversion to loud sounds before making her toast. She glanced at Lennox and noticed that he seemed on edge, it was as if he was uncomfortable and she hated that he was enduring all that for her.Sophia gasped, her face draining at the direction of her thoughts. What was wrong with her head, she didn't care if Lennox was happy or not, she just needed to get her revenge and that was it, no need to be sympathetic to his plight, he deserved a little payback for what he'd been doing.Sophia sighed picking at her stake knowing that her little talk wasn't going to stop her fro
Lennox's heart skidded to a stop, restarted, and pumped blood so viciously, that he thought he was having a heart attack. In a panic, he jerked away and shoved at Sophia-regretting instantly because of the strength he'd put in, as he watched her tumble off the bed and land on the floor with a Yelp.Lennox's head felt foggy as he got to his feet, and put some distance between himself and Sophia, who was struggling to get on her feet, her eyes screaming unbelievable, but the blush spreading over her face also showed that she was dying from embarrassment, but her annoyance won out as she opened her mouth."What the hell, why did you shove me like that. I could have broken my backbone and then what" she said, her chest heaving and drawing his attention.The image of Melissa flashed in his head, her accusing gaze and he snapped out of whatever it was that Sophia was making him feel. Even if It was all a game to her, he didn't want to encourage her. He knew his darkness, and it only destroy
