Never Again 🌷 “Just ask how I'm feeling, I want to say. Just ask and I may tell you. But no one does.” Melina Marchetta ~•~ ~FIVE YEARS AGO~ •E V E L Y N• Ever since I knew about the dreaded agreement between Williams and Knight, I had cried myself to bed every night. Seeing as Marc wasn't here to comfort and change my mood, I was left on my own. After I ate, I took a nice warm bath and retired to bed early. Never had I ever imagined that for the rest of the week after I agreed to meet Xavier, I would have to handle a lot of my school work to complete it early. As Xavier Knight would arrive from New York to here in California on Monday, I also had to finish off my school work for the next few weeks. Trying to smooth out everything by myself and by Friday night, I finally let out a breath I didn't know I was holding all week. My weekend flew by so fast. I didn't even get the chance to relax my nerves. I had to divert my mind from him as I kept dreading for Monday. Waking up a
Never Again 🌷 “To hurt is as human as to breathe.” ~•~ E V E L Y N• Engrossed in our previous memories, I haven't heard Mr Walker entering my office. "What are you doing inside your office during lunch time?" Mr Walker's voice reached my ears and I immediately turned towards him. "Mr Walker actually-" "Didn't I tell you to call me Chris?" She asked, smiling as I nodded in yes. "Yes Chris, I just finished reading our new project." I told him and he sighed, leaning in front of my desk as he placed his hands on it. "We don't work like that here, Evelyn. Besides lunch hours are prohibited to our workers, using it for work. Now, come on." He motioned her to follow him. "But Mr Walker… sorry...Chris wait.." before I could say anything further, he had already gone into Xavier's office through the joined door. Sighing, I dragged myself up from the desk and trudged towards Chris' office. The sight of two people greeted me who were sitting in front of his desk, one of them was Xavi
Never Again 🌷 “It was never my intention to cause you pain. Whether you feel strongly or very little, that does not excuse thoughtless behaviour.” Jacquelyn Frank ~•~ E V E L Y N• Everyone was already in the limo when Xavier and I reached there. As we went in Chris asked, "What were you doing so long?" At that moment I felt a bit awful that I was also making everyone wait longer. And to rub salt in my wounds, Xavier laughed cruelly and replied, "She was being a woman, they always take time." "Well, she cleans up nicely." Chris chuckled and commented. "Thank you." I smiled. I hadn't realised that Chris' secretary, Lucy, had also joined us until she complimented me, "You look lovely." "Thank you Lucy, you too." I replied genuinely to which she smiled and started reading the file in her hand. Suddenly the vehicle stopped at this large building, it was so different from any I've ever seen, it's upper structure protrude outwards and it was magnificent. Everyone exited the li
Never Again 🌷 “Like a movie scene in the sweetest dreams, I've pictured us together.” Jennifer Lopez ~•~ •E V E L Y N• If I had to explain what type of person Xavier Knight had become, I couldn't. The way he was looking at me felt as if it was real but it wasn't. All these emotions, the manner he spoke to me usually were in contrast to the manner he was speaking to me right now. "What happened to you?" He asked and kept me locked in his arms. "Mr Knight, I.." Not caring about his pretence, I just wanted to tell him about this unbearable itching and pain. The odd unpleasant feeling of passing out in the midst of the event started to haunt me. This tormenting feeling inside me was growing stronger and stronger minute by minute. I had to get the hell out of this party, before the situation got out of control. As Xavier was about to walk away, I stopped him, "Xavier, wait." "What's wrong with you, Williams?" His face turned a bit irritated at me for keeping him waiting. Sudde
Never Again 🌷 “It has been said, 'time heals all wounds'. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” Rose Kennedy ~•~ •X A V I E R• The wind blew my hair in a ruffled mess as I stepped out of my car. The weather was amazingly pleasant today, not too warm to cause me sweating, not too cold to make me shiver. But, when my eyes landed on the car stopped in front of mine, more specifically the redhead, my mood immediately turned sullen. "Thanks Kat, you're my lifesaver babe, I love you." She said to the person behind the steering wheel, looking towards her in a hurry. I wondered how someone being the braty ungrateful had learnt to thank someone. A sarcastic smile appeared on my face as I walked towards the building. Rose was rushing inside the building in full speed, this made me remember the other night when she got sick after eating those goddamn almonds, when I was seco
Never Again 🌷 “Only in the eyes of love, you can find infinity.” Sorin Cerin ~•~ •E V E L Y N• My breaths were coming out in gasps as I struggled to send oxygen towards my lungs. The nervousness was eating me alive, I've to stop and take a deep breath before looking at the little boy in Xavier's arms. "I miss you, Daddy." The little kid said, my eyes going from Xavier to the kid in front of me. Rather than looking at his son, Xavier was looking at my frozen state as he was trying to decipher my feelings. He has a son, I thought. Impossible! "Daddy!" The kid whined, breaking our trance as he followed his dad's eyesight to look at me. Beautiful, that's the only word to define him. He had an oval face, dark brown hairs complimenting his eyes. His eyes! Those enchanting, alluring eyes reminded me of mine. Exact replica of my eyes, light browns with green specks. Settling him down, Xavier tried to say, "Miss Williams, I think you should-" But I cut him off, showing my han
Never Again 🌷 “If two people are meant to be together, they will eventually find their way back into each other's arms…. No matter what!” ~•~ E V E L Y N• Our bodies were pressed against each other- fire to fire, heat to heat. I felt the heat surging from his body, rubbing against mine. My breathing hitched, yet I tried to push his built figure off me. "You think I'll simply let go of anyone who dared to rebuke me? And how can a silly….no, not silly, how can a spoiled selfish brat like you even talk like that to me? You have no right to indulge in MY personal matters! You get that?!" He raised his voice and I nearly flinched as his authoritative tone echoed around the room. I was numb to even react. My body ached, the whole world was spinning around me yet I never seemed to drown. I could feel his heartbeat thumping against mine. "Seems like your personal matter includes me and my family, so how about you tell me about Alexander?" I said, and tried to look confident under his
Never Again 🌷 “If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive.” ~•~ E V E L Y N• Everything seemed to be exhausting me, no matter how much sleep or how much coffee I drank or how long I laid down, something inside me seemed to have given up. I've learned to be friends with the broken. They know how to survive and have a depth of great love and understanding. I learned that we should not fear as we will find our way eventually. It was in our bones, it was in our soul. Then why did I feel chills when Xavier threatened me to call Marc? Facing Xavier was one of my greatest fears and now facing Marc would be my breaking point. Because I was just not ready, not now. And now upon everything, I've a very handsome little boy invading my thoughts. I had to know about him, everything, I wanted to know everything. But, would Xavier let me be near him? No, why would he. I was still that person who ruined his life once and whenever he looked at me, he'd remember the same sh
