He who angers you conquers you. ~Elizabeth KennyCharlotte"Who might this 'arrogant ass jerk face' be?" the woman I had just vented out to asked air quoting the names I called Anthony."His my crush," I sighed feeling stupid, "I know it's pathetic, I'm a grown ass woman who still has a crush and complains about him like a high school teenager," I rumbled on and on. "but it's not my fault the bastard doesn't like me the way I do him, who am I kidding, he’ll never like me in that way, he only tolerates me because of my family." I laughed at how pathetic I was."I don't think it's pathetic." the woman shrugged "I've been there.""Please don’t patronize me." I rolled my eyes."I'm serious, I was you barely a years ago.""I find that hard to believe." I frowned at the thought that she might be mocking me. "Are you making a mockery of my predicament?" I glared at her."Goodness no." she gasped at my accusation."You better not be or I swear your fate will be worse than that of the muffin.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. ~Dennis WholeyCharlotte"Could you kindly call an Uber for me?" I asked the woman who had ushered me through as Teddy, the man who was my hair and nail stylist after we had finished up with my nails."On it" she nodded and walked away. "The cub will be here in a minute, anything else?" She asked after coming back."Yes, I would like for Teddy come with to my house, put all the expenses on my card." I told her after checking the time on the diamond white gold watch wrapped around my wrist. It was getting late and I knew I wouldn't have enough time to finish readying myself for the event on time."Alright." she nodded before turning to the man. "Teddy get your things set." she told him."It would be a pleasure." he beamed. "I'll be back in a jiffy." he dashed away.Soon, he had gotten everything he might need and we walked out findin

No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure. ~Emma GoldmanCharlotteAfter almost thirty minute, we pulled up at the venue of the event and there was a ton of people and paparazzi outside whose attention shifted to us upon noticing our arrival.Anthony got out of the car and also helped me out like a gentleman he was. Note the sarcasm. He gave his key to the valet and put his hand on the small of my bare back giving me goosebumps."Who are you wearing? Are you two a couple? Is it official? Anthony are you finally off the market? Is this a onetime thing?"Journalist bombarded questions at us while their cameras flashed at every picture they took of us.Not answering any questions, security pushed them aside while Anthony moved his arm from my back snaking it around my waist and pulled me close to his side.Even though I was still pissed at him, the prot

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no greater guilt than discontentment. And there is no greater disaster than greed. ~Lao-TzuAnthonyMy encounter with Charlotte earlier had me smiling the entire day.Don't get me wrong, it was not my intention to piss her off but I couldn't just help it considering the fact that she always pisses me off too plus, it was my way of getting back at her for giving the silent treatment and avoiding me.Not wanting to dwell much on her expression after the awful comment I made concerning her hair and cologne, I buried myself in my work. Truth be told, I loved her cologne, it always did something to me and her hair, it was the perfect color and length complementing her beautiful big green eyes any man could fall in love with, but I was never going to tell her that, was I a coward, yes, I was always one when it came to that girl, I'm a man of few words, I've always believed that actions speak louder than words but it’s different wit

Every man, at the bottom of his heart, wants to do right. But only he can do right who knows right; only he knows right who thinks right; only he thinks right who believes right. ~TiorioAnthonyI glanced at my watch again and back in the hallway to see if Charlotte was coming but there was no sign of her. It's been ages since she left. I tried calling her phone but sighed in defeat when I head the device ring in the clutch sitting on the table.Getting up from my seat, I went to the direction she had disappeared to remembering she might have mentioned something about the ladies washroom. I found the ladies room without difficulty."Sir this is the women's room, the gent's is that way." a short woman corrected."I didn't ask you." I rolled my eyes pushing past her and entered "Charlotte Quan!" I yelled. "Charlotte are you in here?""Elio." I heard her voice call followed by someone sobbing lightly from a stall."Charlotte get the fuck out of there!" I groaned "this isn't the time to

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. ~ConfuciusAnthony"Princess are you finished or do you need some help?" I finally asked after a few minutes had gone by."No, I’m almost done." her voice was so weak."Come here." I pulled her to my chest as she stumbled out of the stall."Let's go home please." she pleaded her voice cracking again."Can you walk?" She nodded but I gave her a quickly scan and she didn't look like she could reach the restrooms door without fainting."The bag." she pointed at the bag inside the stall.With a ton of toilet paper, I cleaned the blood off the floor. Satisfied with the job, I picked up the bag before lifting her bridal style. She leaned her petite frame against my broad chest and closed her eyes.Using the back door to sneak out of the hotel undetected, I walked over to my car. Getting there, I carefully sat her in the passenger’s seat and buckled her seatbelt before moving to my side, throwing the bag

Imagination was given to us to compensate for what we are not; a sense of humor was given to us to console us for what we are.~Mack McGinnisAnthony 'Bang! Bang! Bang!'A loud banging on my door pulled me out of my sleepy state.The loud banging on my door carried on."Damn it." I groaned trying to move and see who it was but couldn't because something was hindering my movement, I looked down and found Charlotte lying head on my chest with her arms around me and our legs tangled together, smiling I carefully unwrapped myself from her and got off the bed.'Bang! Bang! Bang!'The banging was heard again making me angrier than I already was for being forced to move out of the comfortable position I was in. I took long strides to the door and almost pulled it off its hinges when opening it."What!" I growled at a shocked Trevor. "Who gave you the fucking right to bang on my fucking door you imbicile!""I-I-I" he stuttered moving back."Use you fucking words idiot." I left the room and c

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard ThurmanCharlotte"Princess." I heard a faint voice groan."Princess are you awake?" it came again but I hid my face in something that smelt so good, I knew this scent, it was all too familiar but I just couldn't place who it was for some reason.I felt my mouth move and let out a sentence that probably never made sense."Are you complimenting me in your sleep." The voice laughed.I felt my mouth move again obviously replying but I couldn't understand myself."Is that so?" the voice let out a sexy chuckle."Kiss me." the words slipped out of my mouth and my eyes shot open with shock, I blinked furious comprehending what the hell I just said now that I was fully awake.Say something, save yourself"Princess." the voice called and my face flashed red when realization hit me hard, the voice belonged to no other than
