Reene headed straight to the kitchen, and with the help of some workers, managed to find ingredients she'd need.

This was going to be terrific.

She was going to make him grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, as that was Jake's apology meal when they were younger.

And it also helped comfort her after her parents' death. So, that'd do.

All day, Reene made the meal, putting as many efforts and emotions to it.

Once done, she decorated it beautifully on a plate, added a glass of wine, then set both on a tray before beginning the journey to Jaxon's room.

This was thrilling.

It was the first time in so long since she placed so much time in making a meal.

Hopefully he will would appreciate it.

Reene was about to reach the elevator, when Inder came to view, phone in hand.

“Whoa, what's the occasion? And do you seriously plan on eating this deliciousness alone?” He had a grin on.

“Thanks.”

“Can I join you? Please.” His lips pushed out slightly.

“Sorry, but I'm not making it for myself.” S

    Sleep and Reene became two worlds apart that night.She couldn't stop her thoughts from filling with the kiss.Why had he done it?And why had she allowed him to? She'd have used him being drunk as his excuse, but then, didn't people when tipsy, do what they'd want to do while sober?Then there comes she, who was very much sober, yet still did what she shouldn't have.Reene groaned, all that occupying her mind till the sun rose.With a sigh, she left the bed to take a shower then brushed her teeth before changing into a red tank top with blue jean trousers, and was out of the room.She paused to stare at Jaxon's door for a moment, contemplating whether or not to give it a knock.What would he say? What would she even say?‘Just wanted to check on you. Having a hangover?’Or;‘Hey, I'm here to ask what last night's kiss was all about.’Both thoughts made her cringe.It'd probably be best to just head her way.Reene left to the breakfast table, where she barely touched her food, distu

    Jaxon sat in the bar, a glass of wine in hand, the other holding a cigarette between its fingers, while Owen just stood, confused at what disturbed his boss so much.Jaxon, on the other hand, had his thoughts drifted to Reene.He wasn't mad at her for doing what no one else would dare do, by entering his brother's room, but because that was a part of his life he didn't want her seeing.The despair. Hatred. Fear. Hurt.All those emotions associated with that room, was something he wouldn't want her seeing.He didn't want to scare her off.And that itself… scared him.Jaxon gulped in the glass, pouring himself another one.*Owen drove a drunk Jaxon home, which only increased his level of confusion.He had rarely to never seen his boss so drunk that he wouldn't be able to do much.He just had his head leaned against the window, eyes shut.What was wrong?‘I just leave for one week and Mr Don is already drinking himself to unconsciousness.’ Owen thought with a head shake.Once they reach

    The elevator separated and Reene got out, puffing out annoyed heavy breathing like she'd just completed a marathon race.But heck, never had she felt so furious before.The way he'd spoken to her.Telling her to ‘Get out’ like she was one of the people he could control.Just ‘cause she was living under his roof didn't give him any right to speak in that manner.More annoying was the fact she didn't even stand to protest or at least let him know he couldn't shout at her.Instead, her dumb self just walked away, looking like some kind of weakling.Reene felt herself grow more annoyed with that thought.She wasn't sure if she wanted to be under the same roof as him at the moment.She was going to go out.Anywhere.Maybe even Anna's.Anything but with the asshole who thought he could act however he felt right with anyone.Annoying.Reene was lost in thought that she was so close to bumping into someone.Thankfully, she noticed Umrai's figure quick enough to make her feet stop.“Umrai?

    It had been a week since Reene's confliction on what Jaxon's definition of ‘special’ was.To make things weirder, she'd barely seen him, so her body chose to have dreams no female should be having.Which meant whenever she got a glance of him passing by, her heart would drift close to an explosion.And things only worsened with him always busy and with someone ninety percent of the time, so he'd just glance at her, then get back to business.Sometimes he didn't even look at her.But the times he did, Reene could be sure she was nearing a heart attack.Well, that day was one of the days she didn't get to see him, which she wasn't sure if to say was good or bad (probably good).After breakfast that day, Umrai had to head to work with some of the other girls, leaving Reene all alone.Lisa still hadn't been around since who knows when, and Reene wasn't really familiar with the rest of the girls (well, except Nora and everyone knows why that option won't work), so once again, all alone.Af

    “You look lost in thought.” A female whose name Reene had totally forgotten, pointed out as they ate breakfast.“No, I’m just tired.” Reene replied with a small smile.Certainly not true.She was lost in thought on Jaxon's words.He saw her to be someone special to him? Did he? And if he did, then what was his definition of special.She didn't want to jump into any conclusion that'd prove dumb.But wasn't it kind of obvious? Or was it?Gosh, this was starting to get annoying.“Reene.” Umrai called, startling her a littleShe raised her head from the food, to all the eyes on her.Even Nora (though it was more of a scowl).“Hmm?”“What's wrong?” “Maybe she's plotting to snatch some girl's long crush.” Nora scoffed, arms crossing tightly over her chest.At least Reene could be glad because that distracted them from Reene to Nora.Soon, they were chatting on different things till Reene's distractedness was forgotten.Thank goodness.Once everyone had finished eating, they left one at a
