Alex’s POV
I woke up this morning tired after a long night. I only slept three hours because of the girl I was with last night let’s say she knew what she was doing.
I really need to start sleeping more. This became my life goal, to sleep more, but every night I go back to be me and full around with some girl that I picked up randomly in a bar or a club…
Yeah I am aware of my good looks so I take advantage of that, women always throw themselves at me, if it’s not because of my look, then is definitely because of my money.
I got to the point where I stopped hiding the fact that I am a rich, my clothes, my car they all scream expensive. I don’t like to lie, I worked hard to get where I am today, I am one of those lawyers who helps people fight the Big Corporations, well I am the best of
Alex’s POV After an intense morning I went to get another coffee, I can’t believe people are so dull and unprofessional. I massaged my temple, it’s going to be a long day. I didn’t get the chance to press the elevator button when the doors opened and a woman bumped into me. Usually everyone curse out and then when they see me are trying to sweet talk me. This time I heard her mumbled which made me smile “Damn it, who puts a wall so close to the elevator exit? “ She didn’t even look at me when I asked if she was ok, she just told me that I don’t need to worry! That was new… she made me smile she really made me smiled. Finally when she looked at me she didn’t act like all the other women that keep popping in my way, she didn’t act hurt or needy to impress me
Alex’s POV Damian and I decided to go to a new Club Downtown. My other two best friends and Damian were already in, but I had to wait another half hour after my coffee shop date. Probably after tonight I will have to change the place where I am buying my coffee because I am not planning to see her again. From the moment she saw me to the moment we got to the Club she talked without any interruptions, I think I got a headache. I’m not going to bother to take her home, she is too much. I was checking out the crowd when I saw Josephine Jackson smiling at one of her friends. I really can’t take my eyes off her. Everything inch of my body is screaming to go to her, but I can’t do that. She has to come to me. She saw me, her blue eyes are now glued to mine in an intensive staring contest. Damn it, the coffee shop
Alex’s Pov I waited until her figure disappeared inside the building. I can’t believe I let her go home without me. Based on how her body responded to my hold, I have a feeling that if I continued to kiss her, she would had stopped being stubborn and spend the night with me. Well what can I do now? I got tricked by her puppy eyes. “Alex please I can’t do this, I am not like the girls you sleep with, I don’t do FUN SEX, I am damaged, I am not ready for you” this words are going to hunt me forever. I sighed and shake my head to get rid of the memory. I got home late, another night waisted. It’s already 2:30 in the morning. I went to take a shower, I need to to calm down this body who desperately wants her.. her fragrance is still lingering on my cl
Jo’s POV “Trust me, Alex was sober”. I rubbed my temple while I stepped out from the elevator. “Good morning Ma’am”, Lily’s cheerful voice greets me while she is handing me my coffee. “Good morning, Lily “ I greet her back with a smile. “I put your mail on your desk already “she tells me quickly just before I open my office door. A contend smile appeared on my lips, I like working with her she is the best secretary I ever had. My eyes finds quickly a vase with a huge bouquet of white roses placed on my desk. I moved dumbfounded to the desk to grab the card and read it. “ Just because -A” . I can’t believe Alex sent me flowers, I love them. White roses have always been my favorite and I am wondering if he actually knows that or if it is just a coincidence.
Jo’s POV I stormed out the building rushing to my car. I opened the door quickly and I slide in, throwing my bag on the passenger seat. Right now, I have mixed feelings, I am relieved that the meeting went well, but my blood is boiling inside. I looked behind me at least ten times to see if he is coming after me, I wish he had. I want to scream my frustration, I want to ask him the question that bothers me for a while now “why I can’t be loved?” I sighed for the nth time, I need to get out of here, I need to relax, to sleep, I need to forget. My phone started ringing and I am not in the mood to answer, but I slowly took it out, I have to admit I still hope it’s him. Olivia ’s name pops on my screen and I picked up the call. I t
Alex’s POV Probably at some point I am going to kill Damien, for dragging me here, but right now I have to admit this place is Heaven. I took a sip of my Bahama Mama cocktail while I am enjoying the sunset from my hammock. I like the sound of the waves washing the shore, I like how they never give up, coming again and again. I inhaled the salty breeze, it’s so peaceful here. I can sense the calm before the storm I checked the time and it’s still early, she has a late flight and I still don’t know what I want to do. A part of me wants to have this woman, to make her mine, she denied me and she challenged me to pursue her and what can I say, I kind of like it. I am used with women who are fighting for my attention, who throw themselves at my feet but not her and probably that’s why I am acti
Jo’s POV The sun is bathing the room and I struggle to open my eyes, I am afraid that everything was just a dream. The side of the bed where he stayed last night it’s cold and I can’t help feeling disappointed. I hope everything was real. As I move to his side his perfume it’s still lingering on the pillow and now I know for sure he was here. I closed my eyes and I inhaled his scent, if I can’t be with him at least I can enjoy his smell a little bit longer. I checked my phone and I have a message from Sam: “Hey, Good morning! Call me” I don’t want to leave the bed but I know sooner or later I have too. I dialed Sam’s number who picked up instantly. “Hey, Good morning “ I said lazily.
Jo’s POV I am going downstairs for dinner. After crying the whole afternoon, I realized that everything happened because of me. Now I had two options to lay low or to show him what he lost or better said what he could have had. Anyway after changing my mind several times I chose the third option: Be myself. I am wearing a green midi backless dress that embrace my body perfectly. A little revealing, but not to much. I look classy in a sexy way. My blond wavy hair it’s loose on my back and I think I put a little bit too much of make up. But who cares, tonight I am myself, better said my new self. The one who laughs, who flirts, who dances and most of it who pretends that everything is perfect. Yeah that’s me Josephine Jackson and my world is pretty perfect. As I am coming down the stairs I can see Damien’s eyes getting wide o
