All Chapters of One more kiss, Mr. CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12 Elliot stepped out of his car and entered my workplace. He searched around and I watched until our eyes met. He walked over to where I was standing and narrowed his eyes at me as he took in my overall appearance. He glared subtly at me, annoyed that I was still putting on my work clothes. He was likely pissed that I asked him to come by and I wasn't even ready yet. I was still running around in my work clothes, waiting tables. "What is the meaning of all this?" He hissed. "You asked me to come to your workplace and even gave me a fixed time, and here I am only to see that you are not ready. You are still even working. Why do you like being so tardy at everything?" His glare did not diminish as he was still glaring at me fiercely. So fiercely that it almost threatened to burn holes into my skin. I was annoyed by his tone but I decided not to react to it. I was learning to take it in stride so as not to make everything harder between us. Even though I didn't like him, I sti

Chapter 14 The day has been hectic. The smell of good food still filled my nostrils making my stomach rumble in hunger. I scolded myself like that would actually help. I'm glad the day was over and the best thing that has been in my head all day was the thought of Elliot. I can't seriously like the guy….pfft. It was supposed to be an act. I did what I did before, pushing the thought at the back of my head since I couldn't abolish such thoughts from my mind these days. They always find ways to resurface again. Memories never truly die, they always remember themselves. I thought I was done for the entire day when I saw this unknown man sitting across the tables close to the window. His hands were loosely clinging to the newspaper he was reading. I realized that his table was empty, so I took a glass of iced tea and placed it before him. He let down his newspaper for a bit and smirked at me. I grimaced, thinking why he would do that. I have felt strange advances from men and even s

Chapter 16 The night just began and I was yet to know where exactly we were going. Elliot opened the door for me to get in the car, making me grimace at his gesture. He was too arrogant to be kind, he didn't have the time for such. "Why did the gentleman act?" I was forced to ask. He narrowed his eyes as he peaked at me for a second. "What?" He started. "Don't be ridiculous. That wasn't an act, I am a gentleman. If you could only adjust your angry lenses a bit you'd see it." I scoffed. Angry lenses. I thought. Elliot touched some buttons to turn on the air conditioning. I groaned if only I could listen to myself next time instead of the thirsty words of Elliot. "You know, this is the exact reason why I wanted a change of clothing before we left the house." I pointed to the air conditioning. He chuckled, I tucked my hands looking out the window. "You are fine this way. You look extremely good." He had this flirtatious look on his face and I couldn't get into a minor argument.

Chapter 18 I stalled talking to Aaron because I didn't know what to tell him, where do I begin? It was indeed something I have been thinking about. The call ended and I was relieved. I needed to check with the doctor if there are still some tests that should be done. I was attempting to stand when my phone rang again. It was Aaron, there was nothing I could do, I couldn't ignore. I breathed before answering. "Hey sis!" he chimed "Hey Aaron," I greeted. "How are you? You sound very happy." I commented. I tried to sound enthusiastic enough. I just want my energy to match his, there is no point in ruining his mood. I felt bad already and I didn't want to bother him. "Of course, I am very happy. I am speaking to my sister and that's the best thing. It has really been hard to reach you these days." He complained. I exhaled and glanced at Kathy as her fingers slid into my hands to comfort me. "I'm sorry. Work has been hectic. You know everything has been happening at once. Hope you ar

Chapter 20We got as fast as we could into Elliot's car and zoomed off. I didn't know where we were going exactly and Elliot wasn't saying anything either. I was too much in my feelings today and there was nothing I could do to replace the memory. Each time it came on in my head, I cringed and let overthinking control the whole situation. Maybe he would think less of me? Although he didn't react that way, there was no way I could read his mind. Ever since he arrived, his expressions had been passive. I tried to shake off the feeling of shame from me and just be in the moment. There was nothing no one could tell me, there was this kind of safety that staying with Elliot brings. Too bad, we were already history even before we got to live through every memory.It was over twenty-five minutes and the silence between us was deafening. We didn't say a word to each other and I would love to know the reason but I just decided against everything that concerns him. He kept driving and taking t
