Eros Kingston
After taking my cup of coffee, I sighed as I stood up from my seat and made my way to my dad's office. I know what he wants to talk about. That's what he has been saying for the past one year and I'm already fed up.
I liked my normal lifestyle, when I was not the CEO of this company. Sure, I had many women at my feet, the influencial ones though. I've never done out with anyone below my standards, never.
The women lived been with me, even if it was always for a week. I always already inform them ahead. Sex for a week and we're done. Besides who would be able to resist this body.
I entered the elevator and clicked the button to the top floor. That's where my dad's office is. Since he already handed over to me he started staying in the highest floor. I don't know why he's worried about the company.
I might be reckless, but that's with the women, not office work. I might not like being the CEO of this company, but there's nothing I can do about it.
The elevator dinged and the door opened. I made my way towards the brown mahogany door ahead of me. I really don't want to have a conversation with this man.
You could say my relationship with my father is strained.
I knocked on the door as I adjusted my tie. "It's open." Came his response.
I released a huge breath and then opened the door.
"Father." I acknowledged him as I took a sit on the black leather and then crossed my legs and made myself comfortable on the seat.
"I thought u were not going to come" my dad said and chuckled
All I did was nod my head. I don't find anything funny in me not coming."What is it you want to tell me dad?" I asked looking around. I noticed that he already changed some things...like he just got that white book shelf, the black couch-
"There is family dinner next week Friday and your elder sister wants you to be there, the whole family wants you to be there with your girlfriend" he said and looked at me.
"But dad we have been over this before, I'm not-"
He cut me off "ready? That's always your excuse Eros. Your grandmother said she is expecting you and your fianceè".
I sighed and said "then I'm not going to the dinner. You can't force me to do what I dont want to" I said already walking out
"EROS ALEXANDRO KINGSTON!!" my dad shouted and stood up from his seat "you will not walk away from me when I'm talking to you!!".
I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face him "if you do not attend that dinner with your girlfriend or whatever I'll withdraw every money in your account and you will no longer be the CEO of this company. I'll make your life a living hell. And, I give you one and a half years to have a wife and a child or else everything you own will be lost" he said angrily looking at me straight in the eye.
He was going to do it, yes, it is something he can do. Something he is capable of. I made an attempt to talk but nothing came out. I turned my back at him and walked out.
Fuck him and his money! Where the hell I'm I going to get a girlfriend who will accept to be my wife and have a kid for one and a half years.
Damn it!!"Miss Jackson! My office now!" I called as I made my way inside my office. I was annoyed, beyond furious. I needed to release some steam and miss Jackson seemed to be the perfect person for that.
She always found a way to get on my nerves, one way or the other. I don't know if she does it intentionally or not, but it always works.
"Cancel all the meetings I have today." I said typing furiously in my computer.
She made a questioning noise at the back of her throat.
"Are you deaf?" She stood there with her wide eyes and then shook her head.
She was about to go out of my office when I said, "and, where the hell are you going!"
She turned around and then crossed her arms over her chest, allowing it to rise up and I swear it caught my attention.
Whore.
"Till you get your shit together, I can't continue to work for someone that does not know how to talk nicely to his Personal assistant. With the two months I have spent working with you, you have made my life a living hell. I can't get to do anything in peace! What the fuck is your problem?!"
"You complain about every little thing! You snap at me for every little thing!"
"You might be a hot and sexy boss, but till you get your shit together, I'm done!" Followed by the slam of the door.
She called me hot and sexy?
She just quit you fool!
I'm screwed.
Five years later..."Mom! James is being an idiot right now." I heard my daughter's loud voice call from the living room. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I dusted the flour on my hands, making my way to the living room to check up on Jane and her brother.Yes, Jade and Diane eventually named her Jane."What is going on here?" I asked and then saw both of them arguing over who gets the remote."Jane does not want to turn off the TV!" James said."Why should she turn off the TV darling?" I asked as I knelt down in between both of them with the remote in my hand."Because I am trying to draw and I can not do that with that...noise coming from the TV." He groaned."That is what he could have said." I heard Jane say as she rolled her eyes.I sighed, "that should not call for arguements between both of you." I pushed the lock of hair that fell on my face. I lowered the volume of the tv and then, "better?" I asked James."Yes. Thanks Mom." He gri
You did really good in there." Eros whispered soothingly as on of his hands massaged my head, making me feel sleepy."Thank you, for being in there with me." I gave him a small smile."We are a team, of course I will always be there with you." He placed a kiss on my forehead."Where are my babies?" I asked as I looked around the room but found their cribs empty."The nurses took them away to clean them up.""Okay.""You should sleep. You are probably tired already.""hmmn." That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep. Whoever said child birth is easy, is definitely out of his or her mind. For a second there what was running through my mind was, 'I was not going to make it. I can not push out a second child, even the first one took everything in me not to pass out. I would tell Eros to take care of my children if I die.' but I made it, I am alive with my two kids and a husband who loves me dearly.My parents told me they would be here
The wedding was so beautiful, I even had to tear up a little. Rose and Harry both said their vows and then Harry proceeded to kiss his bride. After that the reception was next, we all moved to where the reception was going to be held. Harry's parents invited a lot of people, including their business partners. I met Rose' family for the second time, the first time was during the preparations."When do you think we should have our own wedding?" I heard Eros say from behind me as his warm hands wrapped around my belly, pulling me closer to his body.I grinned, "when our daughter turns one."He exhaled as he put his face in-between my neck, "I can wait." He turned me towards him, so I was facing him and then, "we would have a beautiful family."I pecked him on his lips, "I know. And, I'm glad it's with you.""Me too.""Do you want to dance?" I asked him grinning."Yes, come on." We both made our way to the dance floor and then started dancing until the
Saying I am not nervous will be a lie. I have been standing at his front door for like two minutes now. I already practiced what to say, why is it then so hard to knock on the stupid door. You can do it. You are made of steel baby.I knocked on the door and cleaned the imaginary dust on my jeans. There was no answer. I knocked again and this time I heard footsteps coming towards the door. I breathed out.The door opened, revealing Kevin. He smiled at me and I gave him a nervous smile. He probably thinks of me as a bad person. "Is he home?" I asked looking behind him. "Yeah." he answered and opened the door wider so I could enter. "Thanks." I said."He is in his room." he said leaving me alone as he went to the kitchen. I dropped my bag, but before I could climb up the stairs Kevin said, "please forgive him Janet, he made a mistake and he really needs you." he said and walked back into the kitchen.Everything was how I left it. Nothing has changed. I was scared. W
JANET JACKSON.I woke up the next day feeling better than I have felt in days. Since I was going to Eros family's house I get to see Eros, happy that we get to settle this shit. Happy that I can get my man back. I groaned as I sat up on my bed with a missed call from Eros mother. Weird. And the message and voice note I sent to Eros, he has not listened to any of it.Well, maybe his phone is dead or something. Yeah, that should be it.I made a mental note to call Eros' back when I am done with my routine. I went into the bathroom and had my bath and made sure I shampooed my hair. I got out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed. I wrapped my fluffy white towel around my body and one around my head, so it would get dry to some point.I made my way downstairs with my phone in hand only to see that Jade and Diane were no where in sight. I picked up the yellow sticky note with Jade's handwriting she left on the fridge. We went out for a run,
It has been two weeks last since I saw Eros. Since I smiled at him and likewise. It has been two weeks since I last felt the butterflies fluttering in my chest whenever he kisses me. And, oh, his kisses. I have been miserable this past two weeks, just sitting alone in the house and we'll, sometimes with Jade's sons, which is very streesful if you ask me. I had to quit my job and I am already planning on opening a clothing store.Today has been really weird for me. Eros stopped calling me which made me sad. My parents moved away from their old house into a more comfortable one, my mom has her own bakery, dad has his own car shop and my brother will graduate high school soon.Today is Friday and Jade is staying home with me cause she said I have been behaving weird lately. I mean why would she think that? Okay, maybe apart from the constant mood swings and all. I tried talking her out of it but she would not listen to me.She said I should not think of it as if she is m
