Lola~I was immediately thrown into the waiting arms of mom, her hands caressing my back as she hugged me very tightly. “She won’t be able to breathe, Mom.” I heard Liam say, trying to pull her away from me only to be thrown off by the said woman.“I haven’t seen my daughter in forever and you expect me not to hug her forever?” She snapped. I couldn’t resist the smile that made it’s way to my lips.Not once in the past did I ever think thing would be like this with mom. I didn’t think she would be hugging me so tight and declaring just how much she loves me.“My turn, let her go.” Aunt Mandy says, pulling me away from mom and hugged me, well not so tightly. “Welcome back, kid. Your mother was driving everyone of us crazy about your arrival.” She kissed my forehead, her finger lingering on my cheek as she spoke.“Welcome home, bun. We all missed you greatly.” Dad says, kissing the crown of my head as he hugged me. I blinked back the unshed tears threatening to fall
Lola~Mom had gotten over herself and Grandma Eva. We were back to the dinning table, the rest of her family didn’t continue with the food so we could all eat together which was really sweet. “I’m telling you, she legit called me a kidnapper.” Dylan voice brought me out of my thoughts. I groaned as I remembered exactly what it was that he was talking about, hitting him on his biceps lightly.“You’ve got to be kidding me. She did that?” Liam asked, clutching his tummy to stable his laughters. I rolled my eyes, wrapping my arms against my chest as I glared at Dylan who had taken it upon himself to tell the most embarrassing moment I had in Netherlands.“Not just that, she went ahead to call me a stalker. I mean. Me? Have you seen me? A stalker!” He exclaimed, dramatically raising and falling his hands.“Well, excuse me for being security conscious.” I bit back with not bite. I heard Chloe snort from behind “You should have been more security conscious before yo
Adonis~“You can’t ignore me! I am just as important in this as you are and I demand that you be invested in this whole charade.” Penelope yelled, pacing about frustratedly.I sighed inwardly, massaging my temples and poured myself a glass of water. “Do I look like I care about keeping up your image or your father’s? I told you I would do this. I would go this far and you know the reason why I agreed to do this but you expect me to be invested, go with you to the hall? Go wedding dress shopping and all that. You’re bull-shitting yourself if you think for a moment that I am interested.” I snapped. It’s been weeks since the unfortunate agreement I had to make in other to keep mom safe. Penelope sighed, clicking her tongue as she made her way towards me. To be honest, I’ve racked my brain as to why a beautiful lady like herself would want to settle for me. Me! The same me that’s made it clear I wasn’t interested in her. I remember going to meet her at the cafe that day an
Adonis~It’s been hours since I left the company. I met up with the private investigator I hired but still got nothing. Maybe I’m bound to get married to Penelope after all. I sighed, picking out a suit from my closet. Penelope had sent a message to let me know she’d be arriving in thirty minutes. If I had my way, I’d probably be locked in my study but no, not only do I have to get married to Penelope but I also have to through these outings. I sighed inwardly as I put on my clothes. I felt like a mannequin that was breathed air into and required to do every of father’s whim. It wasn’t like this while I was growing. Truthfully, he was my hero. I worshipped the ground he walked on simply because he was so successful at such a young age. It didn’t matter if I didn’t see him that often because he always made me proud when I was out. I loved hearing the 'Oh, Mr Green’s your father?’ ‘He’s Mr Green’s son’'Mr Green is an icon' Mr Green this
Adonis~“What the hell, Adonis? I asked for just three hours of your time and you couldn’t even fulfill that? You had to embarrass me in front of my friends, staring at her like she’s your life. You stood up and almost walked out on me right there. What sort of embarrassment is that?” Penelope yelled. I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to contain the different emotions rushing through my vein. We were still in the restaurant, Penlope has followed me into the restroom, ignoring the 'Males only’ sitting outside the door.She barged into the restroom, her eyes searching around the place till it landed on me,marched-up to me in anger and slapped my chest hard.“Fuck you! " She spat out. “What? What did you want me to do? I’ve told you I won’t ever be able to love you. I won’t be able to do what you want. I’m the wrong person for you but you won’t listen. You know exactly why I am doing all of this. Keeping this meaningless charade and constant hurting mys
Adonis~I felt my breathe hitch upon seeing the message, did Lola already tell him that she saw me? I sighed, placing the phone back into my pocket. I glanced at the table where Penelope and friends were. If I was to spend another minute there, I’d probably loose the last brain cell I have.Fuck it.I walked out of the restaurant, hoping her highness doesn’t see me and start one of her mental episode. I got a taxi and hopped in, ignoring the beeping sounds coming from my phone. I knew just who would be texting me and I was in no mood to see those messages.I couldn’t help but think back at what she did while we were in the restroom. How quickly she changed personalities, how fast her smile went from dark to light. Over the weeks of dealing with her, I’ve seen glimpses of her behaving weirdly but none like today.Today was really weird. She thought she was in some competition with Lola. I mean, Lola did not even know her so how would she be in a competit
Lola~“Lola! Lola! Lola!” Dylan yelled after me, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop walking. I felt tears stream down my face as images of what I just saw flashed through my mind.“Lola!” Dylan finally caught up to me, grabbing my wrist and pulled me closer to him. His eyes filled with worry, he bent a little to reach my height, fingers softly flicking the tears on my cheeks“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He asked and I shook my head. I didn’t want to speak about it. I want to forever forget what I just saw but I couldn’t.Yes. Liam told me Adonis is getting married to the same lady but there was nothing and I mean nothing on earth that would’ve prepared me for the image I saw.Adonis sitting there, a lazy smile on his face, in the midst of people but her hands was on his. I felt my throat clog up as soon as his eyes found mine. His eyes, growing wide in recognition or maybe guilt? I couldn’t help but watch his ‘Fiancée’ hold his wrist, a sm
Adonis~I watched her take a seat, trying to collect herself and look at me. Her eyes was cold and distant. I inhaled deeply and began to walk closer to her, taking a seat opposite her but also not so far from her.I heard the sharp intake she took when I sat, instinctively I reached out to touch her but she flinched. She flinched away from me. I felt my heart stop for a second as I noticed that action “Please don’t touch me.” She whispered and if it’s possible for a person’s heart to get shattered twice then mine just did.I swallowed the lump in my throat, trying to gather my thoughts and voice but I couldn’t seem to get the words I longed to say out of my mouth. How do I start? I missed you? I love you? I’m sorry I hurt you?How exactly do I start because I have no idea.Earlier when Liam had asked me to come over without any explanation I did. It never crossed my mind that he would ask Lola to come too. Maybe if he told me, I would’ve prepared
