They were three fucking hours late.The dinner was to begin by four pm, it was seven pm and yet no sign of them.Angry, annoyed and frustrated Amelia pulled off the green gown she had been in for three hours waiting for the dinner, she unhooked her hair she had tied upwards, cleaned up her makeup and was about to wear her night dress, when someone came in.No, this person didn’t knock- why would he? He owned the whole ‘motherfucking’- ‘Manners’ Amelia cautioned herself silently. She tried to hide the blush of embarrassment she felt, she was naked save for some little piece of lingerie and bra she wore. The fucker couldn’t even knock. She gave Xavier her back as she wore the first thing she saw which turned out to be a loose gown.Just perfect.She turned to her husband.“You’re late”“I know”What a jerk, he can’t even let an apology slip out his mouth, even by mistake.“You have nothing to say about it?”“I was busy, I owe you no explanations”“I am your wife”“Yeah, yeah, call you

Amelia was done sorting the files after hours of silently cursing.“Hello, I am Diana” A girl who stood in front of her cubicle said, stretching her hands for a handshake.“Amelia” “Nice to meet you, you’re new here?”“Yep, and I’m already loving the job” Amelia said sarcastically, pointing to the piles of files she just sorted out.“That’s not supposed to be our job” Amelia frowned but understanding dawned on her- Xavier just wanted to punish her by giving her the piles, maybe it was useless.“You look nice and very friendly” the girl with dark black bulb hair and brown eyes said, Amelia wasn’t sure if she should pass a ‘thank you’ so she said instead;“Everyone here looks like an Angry Bird” Amelia said to the girl.It was true, when she entered into the office, she was more than shocked to see the look of disgust many workers- FEMALES- gave her, it was alarming, she was used to being loved by everyone, but the stares she was getting was entirely circulating with negativity.“Just

The whole scene felt like the Cullens family’s entry in the movie ‘Twilight’ as the three of them were like something from a girl’s dream. Wet dreams.The silence also stated that it wasn’t often that the three pair had lunch here, all eyes were on them.They took an empty seat and luckily no one sat close.“Amelia” Shawn called out, loud enough for the whole cafeteria to hear.Shit. Why Shawn?,Amelia tried hiding amidst her friends who stared at her in shock.Diana’s eyes held questions and Crystal smiled hoping for more gossips to come.Shawn stood up from his chair and walked towards Amelia who tried shrinking in the middle of the crowd lined up to get their meal. He found her though.“There you are” Shawn said as he held onto her hands and led her to the seat where Blake and Xavier sat. Everyone was watching.Xavier wasn’t happy though and Blake was as emotionless as a rock.Shawn took out a seat as the gentleman he was and Amelia sat. The whole place buzzed silently with gossips

(Xavier)Xavier was furious, why the hell did Shawn bring her to work, she was just on the blink of death yesterday- okay maybe he was exaggerating, but still, he remembered her pale skin and how she shivered, he had never been so confused in his life till he saw Amelia on the floor, he had thought she was dead, many bad things could have happened to her... pretty bad things. If she had died or anything had happened to her, he would never have forgiven himself. He had watched her all night, he once thought he never feared death but that night, with Amelia on the floor, he understood why death was fearful to many. As soon as she walked in, all his anger evaporated and he looked at her- he really looked at her, not just her ass and breast or her curves, but her eyes, her eyes were beautiful, but there was something else about them, they held... pain. She was beautiful, she was very beautiful and not just the normal kind of beauty, but the kind that can draw emotions from any man. She

Amelia arrived back at Xavier’s apartment, a driver had driven her here and she was quite disappointed that Shawn wasn’t the one who drove her back, she was sure that she would have talked his ears off about all her adventures of the day. She was squealing in joy, the bald headed man who was actually Pabulo by name had called her and informed her that she would resume work there immediately, she couldn’t contain her joy, by tomorrow she would be a fashion designer in the great Neon Fashion Trends Company, nothing could kill her joy. Then her phone rang. As she saw the caller her heart sped up, not in the romantic way, the smile on her face was completely whipped off. It was Mel. Amelia answered the call, then she heard Mel’s sob over the line. There was no greetings exchanged, there was no need for that. “It’s got worst with Jacob” Mel said, “He’s getting paralyzed Amelia” she cried out. Dread filled Amelia, she couldn’t console Mel because she was the solution to their problem
