Decision.
I stare at Ethan, who’s staring at me. The tension in the air was increasing by seconds. I couldn't think of a way to make this better.I could almost listen to my heartbeat now. But the looks on Ethan’s wasn't irritated or disappointed but they were neutral. He was just standing there and reading me carefully.“I...UH...”He knew I was getting nervous and nothing I could say right now will help. So Ethan just walks up to me and brushes my hair.“I know about your connection with Jonathan Ramsey, Ms May.”“And you’re not afflicted by it?” I ask.Ethan chuckled and cups my face, kissing my forehead softly.“You can go over to any guy you want, Ms May. You’re a free woman. But know that, in the end. You’ll be ending up with me. “I widen my eyes at his answer. I’ve seen no man this confident about something like this before.“How do you know that?” I ask.“You’re here with me right now, aren’t you?” He wraps his arms around my waist.“Sure, I’m your boss and you probably think ‘this’ s

A Stupid Idea.
“Are you?.”“Serious? Always, Ms May.”“But.. How can we possibly pull that off? I mean..I..”Ethan turns his body to me, gazing deep into my eyes before making them fall on my lips. He cups my face with both his hands.“This is going to be perfect if you want it to be, Ms May. If not, I can arrange a room for you in Hotel.”“Oh no, I can’t ask you to do that, No..”“Oh, don’t worry, the hotel would be one of mine.”“You own a hotel?”Ethan chuckles and kisses my forehead.“I own a lot of hotels, Ms May.”“Sure you do. But I can’t. I wouldn’t feel okay with it. It feels more like... charity.”“We can work with that,” Ethan says.“What do you mean?”“I’ll hire you as my 24/7 personal assistant. You can use the room I usually stay in at the hotel, and we can work on business files which I can gain help with whenever I need you, together. This way, you’ll be working for me. That won’t be called charity. So. what do you say?”I thought about this because I don’t know how many minutes. Eve

Clara.
I said nothing after our conversation about his past. We were both quiet the whole way to the hotel. I couldn’t stop thinking about what possibly he could have done and why there isn’t any information available about him on the web.Ethan helped me check into the hotel room and left immediately after I got settled in. I guess he would meet that gangster guy again. Beginning my search again, I took out my laptop from my bag after I made sure Ethan was gone. I looked for even the smallest thing that could give me some clue about who he was.Dead End.Nothing. Like seriously, nothing. Not in the newspaper, not in magazines, or even a single article. Just nothing. This can’t be really true, is it? There must be someone who knew about him.Beep beep“One whole day without you seems like ages have passed,” I get this text from Jonathan.That’s it. Jonathan is the only one who knows Ethan better than anyone else. I could ask him. But how? They trust each other, and I really don’t want to mes

Cuts.
As much as I wanted to deny the fact that Clara got on my nerves, I couldn’t, because she did. Her not meaning shit to me and whatever she’ll do won’t affect me. I was more scared at the thought of losing Jonathan.It's possible that Jonathan would be affected even if Ethan wasn't. Despite my presentation as someone who doesn't care much, I actually cared about both of them. I may not present myself as a caring person. But to tell you the truth, I cared about both of them equally. And that put me in a difficult situation.I was just standing outside Jonathan’s Office trying to get in, but I stopped. I couldn’t bare to face him like this, lying to his face.I shook my head, and I almost turned back to get out of there when Jonathan opens the door instantly, startling me.“Woah, I knew I saw a reflection.”“Jonathan, you scared me.”“Umm, sorry?” He smiles and gives me a sign to ask what I was doing here.“Were you... eavesdropping on me?” He asks.“Why would I eavesdrop on you?”“To ma

The Whole Truth.
The ambulance came within 5 minutes and they took her into the backside of the van, doing some initial procedures to stop the flow of blood.“Is she going to be okay?” I cried.“Ma’am, I can’t tell you anything for now, but please cooperate. She needs to get to the hospital ASAP.”I knew all they could do was stop the blood. All I could do now was break down. I never thought Nat would do something like this. I looked down at my hands, and they were all slimy and red. Like I just messed up a can of red paint. For now, I knew I had to be there for her. I took some deep breaths and shook my head.I went to my car, got inside, and drove behind the ambulance. After a while, we reached there, and they took Nat into the emergency room.The nurse asked me to wait outside, but I couldn’t because I had to be there for her. I just couldn’t stay here and wait for them to give me the news whether she...I had to stay positive. She’s fine. She will be fine. It took about an hour after they rushed h

The Interrogation.
The police didn’t waste their time. They came in first thing in the morning. Of course, for now, I kept the note hidden. I just wanted to get this over with. Involving the police there was the last thing that I wanted to do experience.They asked me to wait in the room with plain white walls and a mirror at the front. So that’s what they call an interrogation room. I wait there for a while with a feeling that I was being constantly monitored. After a few minutes or so, this police officer comes in with a mug. He placed it in front of me while sitting in his chair.“Some coffee. I thought you might need it. We called in early, I know. But I hope you understand this is how case procedures go.” He says.I smile and nod, trying to keep my secrets to myself.“First, I’m Rick Anderson. I do the questioning around here.”“Please, Feel comfortable. Think of it as a simple chat of trying to get to know each other. The only difference is, I want to know what and why Ms Polinski would do such a

Ring.
“What do you mean... your case?”“That’s all you need to know.”He keeps his focus on driving again. I was getting a lot anxious now. I get why he would keep something a secret, but, Why not just tell me? He hasn’t even forced me to sign an NDA, so I guess I was a trustworthy person. Right now, I couldn’t just take this trauma. Most of the time, I felt like I was with a stranger.“Stop the car,” I commanded Ethan.“What?”“Stop. The. Car.”Ethan does and I get out of it, and he follows up with me, too.“Where are you doing?” He asks.“Home.”“It’s raining, Ms May. Please. Get in the car. I’ll drive you.”“No!”I walk away, and he grabs my arm slowly, preventing me from storming away from him. I turned to look at him and all I could feel is, him genuinely stopping me. Asking me to stay for a while. Like he needed me.“Leave me, Ethan.” I avoid eye contact.“What do you want me to say? Angelica? What exactly can I say for you to come with me?”“The truth maybe? Ethan. I feel like I don’

Doesn't Matter.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..I...”“It doesn’t matter now.”He carefully snatched the box from my hands and gazed into it.“I’m gonna go. I called my driver. He’s already outside.” Ethan says.“What about your?..”“He brought some spare clothes, Ms May. Thank you for the shake.”He walks out of his room as I follow behind him. Ethan opens the door and I could have a glimpse of a man standing with an umbrella. Just as he watches Ethan coming towards him, He opens the car door and grabs a spare shirt, giving it to him.Ethan wears it and goes inside the car in the passenger seat while the other guy, in driving. And they drove off. Ethan didn’t even look at me before going. I close the door behind me and I lean into it.“Ethan had a fiance? If he did.”“Where is she, now?”It was getting a lot late, so I just went back to sleep. I guess the rain is getting to me. I wasn’t feeling all that good. Sure Angelica, for you, walking in the rain is dramatic, huh? Now see what you did to yoursel

Want You Back.
“Hey, talk to me?” I say to Nat.She shook her head and looked directly at me once again.“I’m sorry, I’m just on a lot of painkillers and I can’t seem to keep my head straight.”“I guess I just...”“You..?”“I just want my best friend back again, Angie. I just want you back, just like the way we were before. Never fighting, always laughing and teasing each other. Even when times were hard, we never ever left each other’s sight no matter how hard the situation was. I just want those days back.”“I’m sorry.. sight,. I’m in no position to ask this from you right now. I mean.. I should be happy that you’re even talking to me right now, so.. Forget what I just said. I’m all over the place right now.”Not saying another word, I grab her hand with both of mine and I smile.“We can have all that again, Nat. You are my best friend and trust me, if something happened to you? I would come up to where you would go just to tell you that you’re a bitch.”We both laugh and she started coughing.“Sl
