All Chapters of I am not Your Love Story: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The sound of gentle waves lashing at the shore and the smell of summer trees fill my senses as I look upon the building before me in awe. This place is more of a resort for relaxing in my opinion, but apparently, we’re here for work and not a vacation. I have always known about the oasis of Krusas city, but I never dared to think I’d ever come near it. It is larger than any single body of water I have ever seen. There are small man-made places like fountains, but this is all-natural and a very popular spot for the wealthy.To make sure we’re not late for this meeting, Drake has brought all of our things to our rooms while Kain and I head straight to work. Kain gave him the rest of the day off, as this place has its own security and people aren’t free to come and go without proof that they are granted access to the building.“Who are we going to see, Mister Jones?” I ask Kain as I try to keep my focus. Though th

“How did things go?” Kain’s voice brings me back to the conversation as we drive home. Jane’s questions, along with Skyler’s when I first started, keep going through my mind. I’m no more aware of Kain’s plans for me now than I was back then. Even with him opening up to me and no longer offering me harsh or sarcastic remarks, he hasn’t told me why he wants to train me personally when he has no reason to do so.“They went fine,” I replied. I look out the window of the car for a moment, lost in my thoughts. I know Kain wants to know everything, especially if I think we can use Jane to help both of our positions, but I just don’t know what to tell him. There’s the truth, which he may not be happy with, or in a more likely situation. He wants to use her curiosity about him and me, to get further into her father’s business and win them over.If that is the case, Jane would be

As I make my way outside, I take in a nice breath of fresh air. I won’t be able to slip off as easily as this in the future, so I want to make the most of my freedom while I can now. Everyone inside is still enjoying themselves since none of us has to work for our supper tonight. We still need to mind our manners, but everyone is getting drunk and having a good time. Except for me. I’m not unhappy with my progress, but I wanted to act or sing. So far, I have done none of that outside of training. Kain says it might be requested from fans, but so far that hasn’t happened. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. Still, I put my trust and faith in Kain, so I have to remind myself that this will all pay off in the end. I can’t let Wulf’s words bother me. I place my hands on the railing of the balcony that leans over the hotel’s garden below. It is too dark to see much of anything out past a certain point, but the fountain is easily spo

The entire world still seems to swirl around me, even as Kain leads me down the hallway. I’m pretty sure he is taking me home, though I can’t see exactly where we are going. I’ve drunk far too much, so now everything is a hazy fog. If Kain is angry with me, he doesn’t voice his opinions, not that I could hear him complain even if he had. The small sleep in the car ride wasn’t enough to sober me up, but I imagine I’ll hear no end of this Monday morning when I get into work.I just hope I didn’t say or do something I’ll regret when I am sober. Who knew the drink they were serving was so potent? And the amount I consumed could probably make an elephant drunk. On the plus side, I think I made a lot more friends by drinking with people? Either that or I royally embarrassed myself and they were just mocking me?All I know is that this night is finally at an end and I’ll leave the whole thing behind

Kain allows me to stay in bed as long as I want while he fixes up something to help cure my ever-growing headache and the awful hangover I am dealing with. After my emotional outburst, my whole body has all but shut down on me. I had overstressed myself, and now I was paying the price for it all. However, I was glad that I had finally confessed.With everything off of my chest, and with Kain’s admission of everything, I felt as free as a bird. I still wasn’t sure what the future would hold for the two of us, but I had to wait on Kain. He refused to talk more about what would happen between us, at least until after I had rested some more and was feeling more like myself.Since it was a Sunday, neither of us needed to be anywhere near work, so Drake wouldn’t find it odd that I needed to sleep all day, or that Kain would not head into work. That gave the two of us all day to figure out what we wanted to do with our feelings and new
