“Sugar plum.” he called out. My heart softened a bit at his voice. I admired the way that nick name rolled off his tongue. I also admired his angelic face, his presence, the fact that he helped me numerous times. I wished to thank him for everything presently.
For making me feel like I was more when people thought I had nothing. It meant so much to me. And, I really wanted to.
But I needed to listen to what he had to say.
“I’m sorry, sugar plum.” he started out, with a lost look on his features. His face held a sober look, making me wonder what was wrong. My brows cringed immediately, that instant at what was happening.
Why was he apologizing for nothing? I certainly don’t remember him annoying or pissing me off, so why was he apologizing?
“I don’t understand. Why would you be? I’m the one who should be sorry. I missed the date that day not you.” I constructed out, telling him.
I hadn’t even told him the reason why I missed the date. An
“I’m sorry.” he added, with an apologetic expression written all over his features. His brown orb eyes didn’t even flinch for a minute. And, that alone made me want to yell at myself for being stupid.The instant he mentioned those words, his hands untangled from my shoulders. A gust of wind from the window, rushed past me from the window. It slapped my face, bringing me to reality.I couldn’t bring myself to comprehend whatever Jackson had just uttered. It was something unexpected.So unruly and hurtful. I would never had expected something like this from anyone, especially the fact that it was Jackson. It made me want to cry. Gawd, it did make me want to cry.But the thing was, I didn’t know why I wanted to. My feelings made me really confused these days. And, nothing also made sense too, why?“Y-You bastard,” I directed at him, almost at the verge of tears. But I wasn’t going to break down at the front of him. Mum always taugh
Jackson’s PovImmediately Eleanor walked out, I felt a part of my heart pang in guilt.It wasn’t for loving her. Whatever I had was never love. When I met her at the elevator, I wanted to be friends with her because she was such a beauty.The kiss confession at her house, had been just a test. I needed to know if she was really in a relationship with my elder brother, because she seemed to hate the rich so much.The rooftop incidence was because she told me she wasn’t in real relationship with Liam. I wanted to actually give it a go to have something with her back then. It wasn’t until lately I realized it wasn’t something I wanted.It was sort of an attraction any male could have for a female.It wasn’t something more.Definitely not something serious.We had been friends. And, by her walking away without hearing me out, it was evident that whatever friendship
The day after that day, I received a phone call around 6am. Wondering who the caller was, I sleepily reached for the phone. A migraine from last night’s drinking hit my head, making me groan out.“Eleanor,” A raspy and somewhat silent voice called out. My brows wriggled in confusion, the minute I recognized the voice.“Margaret,” I uttered. My mind drifted to a lot of things as I wondered what exactly was the problem was. She didn’t reply abruptly. And that led to a rapid beat of my heart.It made me wonder if something was off. It took some seconds for her to actually speak up.“You need to show up at the office right now.” she said. I was about to say something when she hung up the phone.That was the one sentence got me worrying a lot...And, it meant a lot to me.Because she was my manager and when something was off, this was just how she reacted.And this was so
Sometimes in life, some incidents occurred, and the first thought on your mind— the first thing, that you can think of, at that very instant was “FUCK,”This was one of those moments for me.It was just like everything I had feared, had suddenly turned up. And, I was left to start wondering how exactly it all muddled together thus, ending up this way.This was what my head thought of, all on its own.The moment Big James out poured all of that anger on me; he threw some documents towards me. With my eyes bolted in shock, my hands trembled and I quivered a bit at the thought of mum.I reached for the document which laid on the floor. Opening it, I read the words that contained it, “TERMINATION OF CONTRACT,” These were the words engraved on it. Just then, Pink Moda’s lawyer walked in.As he walked in, I knew one thing was for sure. Fighting it all, was no use. Because if I did want to, I didn&r
Liam’s PovRed was certainly someone with an odd and eccentric pattern of thinking. She refused my every move to help her, no matter what I did. It was like she wanted nothing to do with me or my money and I wasn’t surprised.This wasn’t the first, second or third time. If possible, I could make it a zillion times, because this was her personality. It was what defined the fiery type of woman she was. What sizzled and burned me.And, I could only admire it.Judging from how she returned the money I gave her on our first day of meeting, it was obvious she wasn’t a gold digger. Last night was an unexpected turn of events. I certainly didn’t foresee her getting drunk, neither could I have predicted what came after.I remembered her words, “Cheers to the Almighty Liam James, my life is in shambles. If it wasn’t because of you, that model Jojo wouldn&r
Slowly, my head averted back at the tone the voice just addressed me through.Say no heart.Please say no…it wasn’t…him.It was Liam. He sat on the sofa just by a corner I didn’t notice in the sitting room. With his legs crossed, his black oxford shoes shook with a touch of manliness. The both of his arms pressed flatly at the upper part, of the white couch.Like a deer caught in head lights, I moved to face him wholly. With my bag in my hand, I timidly observed him. The instant my eyes locked with his, a vivid recall of last night appeared in my head.The bar.My tantrums.And, my words…My words…Oh my gosh, my last words?!I immediately averted my eyes, looking at the other side of the room.“I…um...I was j-just going back, Liam. I don’t want to be a burden to you anymore.” I muttered.Please don’t ask me an
“H-how exercising i-is done in a billionaire’s world??”What did he even mean by that?Was he trying to once again, show off?“Stop the car, right now.”I seethed to the chauffeur, folding my arms.I could feel my temper slowly rising. The reason I had gone jogging, was to clear my head.And now, being around him was enough to install fury in them once more.“Keep going,” Liam directed in a dominating tune.I sighed.Off course. What did I expect? He was the boss.“So, you’re literally taking me against my will? This is kidnapping!”I yelled at the top of my guts, feeling insanely helpless.“Is that what you’d prefer to call it, red?” he smirked.My eyes, startled, looked inside his mesmerizing green orb ones. They seemed somewhat confident.Damn.How could I have forgotten?He appe
“You keep doing this, red. Whenever I try to take a step to getting close to you, you push me away.”Remembering those words, made me have a void and empty feeling.I questioned everything around me, wondering how the anklet managed to leave my ankles.I mean, did he even know how hurtful those words were?I found it hard to put myself together.I ended up going back to where we horse rode and also back to the golf center.“Excuse me, did you see a silver anklet around here?” I asked the people around.“No, nothing,”I didn’t stop at that, and searched thoroughly. A couple of spots we went to, I even went as far as requesting for the horse we rode. I checked the stables, and the dung, but found nothing.That made my hands really dirty. But I knew it didn’t matter. What did matter was finding the bracelet, and wiping off that look of displeasu
