Kristoff's Point of View"Did she accept the car?" I asked Jared first things first when I saw him walking towards me. I spotted him with someone when he came in but I didn't mind it. "Gotta scare her first before doing the deal," he casually said."What did you do?" I asked him, calmly. I know Jared and I trust whatever he did before making her accept that gift. He took a sip of my drink. He smirked at me and winked. "Not a biggie... Just keep your nose out of it," he replied. He eyed the woman sitting on my lap.I tapped the woman's back. Making her go away. Jared asked me to meet here and that woman specifically went to me after I sat down. I don't want to throw her and just let her do what she wants to do."What exactly did you do? You should have a proper plan before confessing, man!" "Shut up!" He just laughed at me and nodded. I don't want to talk about it. I know I was wrong. I don't want to blame her for my recklessness. That question suddenly came out of my mouth. It was
Amidst the long day that is full of work, I still have the chance to look at the beautiful sun that is setting down slowly. There is so much work to do and I can't go home. I guess I have to spend another night in this room full of papers and another night to be stressed.I stretched out my hands. I took off the reading glass I am wearing to relax my eyes a bit. I heard a light knock on the door. I put my reading glass back on. A few seconds later the door opened. I focus my sight on the paper. I firmly hold it in my left hand while my right hand automatically gets a hold of the pen near to it. "Good afternoon, Mr. Lauren. The meeting is about to start, sir. They are all waiting for you," Jared reported. The meeting slipped out of my mind. I almost forgot that I still have to deal with my grandfather who wants nothing but to make me marry a woman who has a son already. I don't know what's gotten into him for giving me a marriage full of fucking trash.“They? Shouldn’t that be him on
Just like what she said. She let me enjoy the night but she was clinging to my arm, all night. She told me her name and it took me by surprise when her name triggered the woman I wouldn’t want to remember yet I kept on looking for.“I am so-sorry.” The glass on my hand slipped. The sound of shattered glass echoed the place. Coincidentally, the music stopped playing which made the people turn at us. “Are you okay?” Elise asked. She immediately held my hand, checking if I was hurt. She is a bit tipsy from the glasses of alcohol she just had but the concerned voice envelops her. I looked at the woman, lowering her head down as she keeps on saying sorry to me. “What happened?” Jared asked. Looking at me then turn his head at the woman who keeps on saying sorry. “Just an accident,” I casually said. Wiping off Elise’s tear. I don’t know what happened that made her cry. I can hear the unclear voices of people talking. I stood up and look at Jared. “Take care of her. I will just answer thi
"Let's head back," I said to Theo. My voice sounds so disappointed at something and I can't stop being disappointed at how my grandfather can do that to me. "What's wrong?" I worriedly asked him when I saw him winched. "Nothing, sir. Just having a migraine but don't worry. I can hold it. These are your clothes." I got the paper bag from his hand before closing the door for him. I took my time taking a bath because I already know my grandfather is mad at me. There's no need to be cautious with time already. The smell of the strong flavor of soap spreads through my body. I looked at myself in the small mirror and stop to look at the scar on my body. I quickly looked away when some memories started to appear. "Let's stop by for a coffee," I told Theo and looked at the opened cafe. As expected, many people are dining in. I was lucky enough to get a table. I looked at Theo ordering coffee for us. My eyes wondered at the people. Some are just casually sitting while taking a sip from the
Five years ago…“Hi, gentleman.”I looked at where the fine voice came from. She is standing next to me while holding a glass of vodka in her hand. Shaking it a bit while staring at me, giving me her best seductive smile. I just smirk and pulled her. She gasped. “Surprised?” I naughtily asked.I didn’t wait for her response and kissed her immediately. My hand slowly snaked on her tiny waist while the other hand was searching for her drink. When I found it, I slowly put it on the table. “I guess, you don’t need this already,” I whispered near her ear.I bit my lower lip, stopping myself to make a move in such a public place. “Let’s find a room,” I whispered again. I heard her chuckle before nodding at me.She stood up and then turned her head at me. “You looked so fucking hot and handsome at the same time,” she said using her flirty voice. I just give her a smirk and held her hand before she pulled me out of the club.When we were outside the club, I saw her immediately pressing the ke
I closed my eyes because of a sudden flash of light from the car. My knees are shaking and my heart beats faster. Even with the shaking knees, I tried my best not to kneel on the ground. I slowly opened my eyes and looked down. I put my hands on both of my knees to stop them from shaking.“Hey, gentleman. Are you okay?” An angelic voice suddenly asked me. The electricity traveled through my body when I felt her hand on my shoulder. “Hold on to me,” she added and just like that, my hand automatically went to her shoulder, resting.We walked to a nearby bench. “Are you okay?” she asked one more time when we both took a seat next to each other.Instead of answering her question, I smiled at her. “You looked so beautiful,” I complimented. “Too bad, I can’t see your face fully,” I added. She chuckled and looked at me. Her eyes are beautiful… “Your eyes…”“Why? What about my eyes?”“It’s too damn beautiful, lady.” Fuck! I haven’t seen eyes so beautiful as that. Light green eye color… “You
Elise's Point of View“Told you!” Maia giggled, looking at the man who can’t keep his eyes off me. “I think he is the one who commented earlier. He is Mr. Lauren. I also heard that he was the one who kept on requesting your presence---”“Stop it, Maia. Serve that drinks already before we get fire,” I said, cutting her off.Maia and I are friends even before I came here. It just happened that she was working here as well. That's why I decided to lengthen my stay here. I was to work for only two months until I have money to walk away from everything but Maia wanted me to stay longer.“Talk to him,” she whispered before she finally left. I want to tell her I already did last night but I don’t want her to keep on talking about him. She rarely ships with me someone but once she did, she wouldn’t stop teasing.I sighed while fixing the tiny dress I am wearing. I can see his silhouette from my peripheral vision coming towards me. I pretended to brush my hair using my finger, looking onto my
Elise's Point of View"Why are you in a rush?" Maia asked.I just glared at her. She didn't wake me up. I told her to wake me up for lunch so I can cook for us. "I told you to wake me up. You know that my alarm is useless," I told her.She just laughed at me. "I already cooked for both of us, Elise. No need to worry and I know you were tired from grinding your hips last night," she said, teasing me.I glared at her and stood up. I quickly took a bath before I went back to our room. This apartment has only one room. Maia voluntarily helped me and she almost gave up all of her belongings just to give me a cozy place. She even lets me use her car, saying that her friend always gives her a ride that's why her car is of no use. She knows about my situation that's why she never lets me pay for this rent."Hey...""What?" I asked her while drying my hair with my towel. I don't have a blower because I am trying to save my ass that I don't want to spend my money on buying things that I want.
