Chapter 51

Meadow“Fuck” Katie mumbled under her breathe, staring at the dress and flowers with her mouth open. “You know this cost more than your apartment right? And probably mine to.”“I know” also staring at the dress hung on my closet door.Katie would take any excuse not to show up for work, so instead of coming after work like I asked, she called in sick and showed up at my door 20 minutes after I sent the text. The panicked look on her face when I opened the door, to find her holding breakfast tacos, coffee, cupcakes and tissues made me burst out laughing almost immediately.“I thought this was an actual emergency not a fashion emergency” She said slapping my arm hard. “You should have really made that clear.”Rubbing the sore spot of my arm, “I mean, you got to get a sick day so I really don’t know why you’re complaining.” I said laughing.“Whatever” I watch her walk back into the living room and plump on the couch as she started devouring the breakfast tacos and then the cupcakes.Grab

Chapter 52

JameyWaking up to 51 missed calls, 73 text and 45 voicemails from Debby wasn’t what scared me, it was waking up to find Meadow not in bed with me.The feel of the light, soft and golden cuts across the room through the sheer curtains. Meadow side of the bed was cold, the sheet rumpled but her scent still on the pillow.Folded neatly in the center of her pillow: a small piece of paperGone to work. We aren’t all tycoons that get to sleep in and show up late for work. I’ll see you later, breakfast in the fridge and coffee is in the machine.-MI stare at the paper longer than necessary and my chest does something stupid and tight. I can’t hide the smile on my face.Sitting up, my shirt from last night was on floor, the apartment smelled like coffee and her shampoo and for the first time in a long time, I was happy waking up. Last night we shared something more than sex, we shared intimacy and it was beautiful. The feel of her skin against mine, the scent of her hair, the steady thumping

Chapter 53

MeadowFood was the solution to everything.The flavor, the crunch, the everything. I had only been at work for little over 45minutes but I needed a break. I find myself walking down the street, finding a burger spot and walking in for breakfast.I was a curvy girl and I loved it. I was hardly ever insecure but for some reason the dumb statement Debby made really got to me.It’s not like the dress would fit anyways.She wasn’t the first person to make me feel like that. Tony did when we were together, all the time. He always told me to lose weight or buy skin remedies to get rid of my stretch marks because they were unattractive or start a diet. I remember last year he gave a gym card for my birthday.What an asshole, I can’t believe I actually went on a date with him.My order comes in and I take a window seat watching people go by. Some rushing to work, others trying to get their kids to school, couples saying goodbye. Everyone was in their own little bubble.I didn’t even want to be

Chapter 54

JameyShe was mine.Whether she knew it, liked it or hated it, she was mine. And Debby crossed the line. The look on meadows face when I couldn’t give her the answer she wanted broke me. “Mr. Salvador” Meadow’s head peeps through the open door. “You have a visitor”I canceled all the meetings I had for the day and I wasn’t expecting anyone.“C’mon Meadow, you don’t have to be so formal when it’s me you’re talking about. This is practically my office as well” I see Omar smile walking past her. They share a look and she closes the door as she leaves.“Yo, you look like shit.” Omar said punching my shoulder. “Are you always miserable?”Shaking my head, “You know, for someone who doesn’t work here anymore, you have some nerve,” I said getting up to give a brief hug.No matter how much Omar annoyed me, he was my best friend. But I would die before I told him that.“Wow you really woke on the wrong side of bed today didn’t you?”Looking at the door and making sure it was closed properly, “I

Chapter 55

MeadowNo. No. No. This couldn’t be happening.My hands trembled when I got the call, they trembled when I texted Katie, they trembled when I ran out the building and took a cab to the hospital and now sitting in the waiting area of the hospital my hands were still trembling. “Everything is going to be fine babes” Katie’s calm voice, doing anything but calming me down. I hadn’t even waited till I got to the hospital before I started crying. The tears flowed out as soon as I heard Tom’s voice telling how they didn’t have the necessary equipment and treatment back home, so they were bringing her back to the city. Tears still pouring down my face, “I just got her back, I can’t lose her again Katie” I said staring at the floor. “I just can’t”Since I could remember I hated hospitals. The clean smell, the nurses and doctors in white, the sick people and the crying. Most of all, I hated that this was the last place I saw my dad. The memories come flooding back like it was yesterday. I r

Chapter 56

Meadow15 hours.It’s been 15 hours since Tom told me they were heading into surgery, It’s been 15 hours since my knees gave out and I found myself falling to the floor, 15 hours since I knew whether my mum was alive or not.It was 4am. I forced Omar to take Katie home to get some rest since she had work tomorrow. She pushed Omar and refused but she came around eventually on the conditions I update her every hour and she comes see me immediately after work. I reluctantly agree.Jamey on the other hand hadn’t left me side since he got here, holding my hand throughout. He was asleep now, his head thrown back over the chair, mouth slightly open but he was still holding my hand. I rest my head on his shoulder gently so that I don’t wake him.The fluorescents in the waiting room buzzed like tired insects. The vending machine hummed, somewhere down the hall, a monitor beep, steady, and then stopped.I feel Jame

Chapter 57

JameyWas I a bad person for getting hard at a time like this?Yes, Probably.But it wasn’t entirely my fault.Meadow wasn’t just in my bed but she was wearing the tiniest booty shorts that barely cover her ass, she was also in a small tank top with no bra. I was a man of self-control but even now I was being tempted.I take a quick shower and join her in bed, it was almost 5am and we needed to go back to the hospital later today. Picking up my phone I send a quick text to my housekeeper to make enough breakfast for 2 especially chocolate chip pancakes, Meadows favorite.“Jamey?” Her voice soft, dazed with sleep called out.“Yes?”“Do you think she’s going to wake up soon?”’Her question caused a panic in my brain. I wasn’t sure, I only had hope, hope that she would wake up but I just didn’t know when. Hesitant, I stare at her for a few seconds before I could answer.“Of course she will” I said stroking her cheek. “You just need to be hopeful. Everything will go back to normal”She sco

Chapter 58

JameyI wanted nothing more than to stay at the hospital with Meadow but I got a text from my father, he needed to see me.This wasn’t going to end well, it never does.I had given Meadow 2 weeks off giving the current circumstances, she refused but I insisted. HR wanted to get me a temporary secretary but I declined. I didn’t want to see anyone else sitting at her table when I walked by, or hear anyone else’s voice when I called for assistance. It was her office, it belonged to her. I belonged to her.I walk into to my office to find my father sitting on my seat, behind my desk, facing the window.“You know, this office looked better when I ran it” his voice sharper than I remember. “Where’s your secretary? I didn’t see her when I walked in”“She on leave” I replied walking to the window.“I hope you don’t mind, I made myself comfortable” He smiled and i notice the glass of whiskey in his hand.“It’s your building after all” I replied glaring at him.He gets up and takes a seat at th

Chapter 59

Meadow.I had been by my mum’s bed side for the past 5 hours, mostly talking about the most random stuff. I caught her up on my current love life situation with Jamey and all the stuff I’ve been up to. I even told her about the horrible date with tony, hoping it would be cringe enough to wake her up. It didn’t, but I didn’t give up.I was in the middle of telling her about a small vacant building I was looking at, that I thought would look nice to start my fashion line when Jamey walked in looking like he just got out of a bar fight. His suit jacket and tie he wore this morning were discarded of and both his eyes and his cheeks were a hot red.“What the fuck happened to you?” I get up hurriedly walking over to him. He pulls me into his arms and embraces me, taking a deep breath as if finding relief of some kind. I don’t fight it, rather I sink into his hold. His shirt smelt like whiskey and I wondered if had been drinking. Wasn’t it too early in the day for that? It was only few mi

Chapter 60

MeadowMeadow’s apartment smelt like butter and tomatoes.I didn’t know I’d be that attracted to a man cooking for me, especially because it seemed as if he was more than happy to do so. Jamey worked around my kitchen with ease, leaving no mess behind while he demanded that I sit down and rest.We left the hospital a few hours ago and stopped by the farmers market before coming over. I thought we were going out to eat but he decided to surprise me instead.Nothing like a home cooked meal.He was shirtless with only his work trousers still on and barefoot in my kitchen. I on the other hand, took a shower and changed into comfy clothes. “Do you need some help?” I called out taking a seat at the kitchen island“Didn’t I say get some rest?” He looked over his shoulder.Yes sir.I watched him dish up food for the both of us, unable to take my eyes off him. He looked better than he did a few hours ago.His eyes and cheeks weren’t red anymore, but the sadness was still evident in his eyes.“
