The next morning Rex woke up with a slight pang at the back of his head. He rolled off the bed and grumpily went to have his bath, once again his mind drifted off to Cherry and he began to ask himself why everything about her gives him so much interest, why did he think of her longer than he thought of his first fiancé. This thought bothered him and he wanted an explanation for it.
He got out of the shower on time because his mind was getting too clouded with thoughts of Cherry, the blinds in his room were still closed shielding the room from the early sunlight. Rex got his outfit from his closet and got dressed, he later came out of his changing room and pressed a green button on the wall which split the blinds open.‘Cherry must be awake by now.’ he thought and an unconscious smile formed on his lips.Rex was dressed in his signature blood red dress shirt and black silky pants. He folded the sleeves of his dress shirt to his elbows for easy movement and walked*
“His house?” Cherry whispered to herself ‘that’s impossible’ she racked her mind with thoughts of the last event that occurred before she fell asleep, the only thing that she remembered was the huge argument she had with him and the stranger she talked to after that nothing happened. “How did I then fall asleep?” She asked him. “No need to conflict your tiny brain I did nothing to you.” Rex said and stuck his hands into his pocket. “Did you just insult me?” Cherry asked getting upset. “Did you hear an ounce of insult from my mouth?” He bit back. “I hate you.” Cherry snarled at him. “Do you always have a temper?” Rex interjects making C
Rex and Cherry sat in front of the kitchen island in silence speaking nothing to each other. The silence was killing Cherry on the inside, she wanted to ask questions, she wanted to know what was going on in his mind, she wanted to ask him questions about his work, how he lived and if he actually owned the place, not that she cared but she was a bit curious to know.All Rex did throughout his meal was scroll through his phone. Even Taylor had to show up twice to serve them different food course before rounding it up with sweet dessert. As Cherry sat across Rex she could feel his eyes on her when she ate. It was very uncomfortable and annoying but she didn’t dare look up, feeling too self-conscious and shy around him.The microwave dinged signaling their food was ready. Rex stood up to dish out the macaroni Taylor made him earlier (which was their fifth br
The silence in the car was deafening, all Cherry wanted to was to leave, but she also had crazy ideas she wanted to display. The air was so thick with anger, and flames which could burn the car and neither of them was ready to speak about it. Cherry observed the strange action Rex displayed, after their near battle about Cherry’s dress code, Rex has been somewhat distant and repulsive. After ten minutes of silence, the car was parked in front of the G stark building.“You go in I will be there in a minute.” Rex spoke, not taking a glance her way, his attention was on the tablet on his lap. Without hesitation, Cherry exit the car without saying thank you or giving him a comeback, she walked into the building like a boss with no pride or sense of what she was doing.The beautiful G stark building standing tall among all other buildings surroundi
Cherry knocked on the opaque glass door, waiting nervously for Rex to answer, she was scared and agitated at the same time that Rex would snap and send her away from his company or worse ban her for life just like her old job did. “You don’t have to be polite when you are not.” Cherry jumped from where she stood frantically searching for the source voice. “Get in here Cherry.” Rex demanded over the speakers. Cherry moved her feet forward, turning the doorknob gently. She stepped into the office head bent low, she tried avoiding Rex’s eyes and he noticed the strange change in Cherry, he wondered why she was acting strange all of a sudden minutes ago she was all Bruce lee on him and now she was acting like an angel. “Did you burn down my conference room?” He asked her just to clarify she didn’t destroy one of his possessions. Something is definitely up with her she didn’t look like the submissive type neither did he know what was running through her innocent mi
Previously… “As I was saying your daily earning will be two thousand dollars or more if said otherwise.” He waited for her to respond, but she stared at him blankly having no words to say. ‘Two thousand dollars that would have been her salary for a year if she were still working at grizzly bear’. “OH.MY.GOD.” She exclaimed still finding it hard to believe. “Do I get it for real, I mean in cash not check?” She asked him to confirm he wasn’t playing around. “Yes.” He showed a small smile. “Christmas trees of bucket filled chandeliers macaroni!” She exclaimed with excitement. “Was that supposed to be a cuss?” He asked.
"Get the stinky bitch off me Rex!” Susanna yells underneath Cherry. The hallway/Cherry’s office was a disaster covered in papers, torn magazines and pencils scattered everywhere. Rex was glad none of them was hurt and other staffs were not present to see such chaos otherwise this would probably be the trending topic of tomorrow’s paper. ‘Those damned journalists have been targeting me for a long time’ one slight mistake and he is screwed by them. “I thought we talked about this.” He told Cherry while a frown was directed at the busty woman he once loved. If he’d met someone like Cherry a long time ago to put Susie in her place she would never show her face in public. Ever and Rex would worship it. “Rexy why aren’t you doing anything, this bitch is harassing me and you are standing there doing nothing!” Susanna got pissed at him for acting ignorantly. Though she still thinks she is in favor with Rex but now it is far beyond that. “Who the hell are you calling
Exactly nine o’clock Rex’s door opened and Susanna stepped out cat walking boldly till she got closer to Cherry’s desk, her hair was sticking out everywhere like she got attacked by a tiger and her lipstick smeared all over her lips, it was evident they did something really nasty behind those doors. Cherry cringed at the thought but was glad the walls were thick enough to block out the unholy noise coming from them, there was still an unexplainable pang and pain stinging her chest and Cherry was really mad about the feeling. ‘Why do I feel this way’ Cherry ask herself as she watched Susanna exit the hallway into the elevator with one victorious smile across her lips. Su
Cherry speed walked away from the G stark company fearing Rex would meet up with her. Her breaths came in pants as she walked faster home, not only because of Rex but her safety too. This only path to her apartment building was usually full of scary homeless people or robbers and Cherry did not wish to be robbed or assaulted, today she was poor in cash so she had to walk home and use her saving tomorrow. She quickens her pace when the hairs on her neck rose up, bringing fear and uncertainty to her. At last, her building came into view and she jogged all the way till she was inside. The clerk was not at his desk and no other person in the hallway aside her ‘a bit awkward’ Cherry jogged up the stairs, walking to her apartment door and unlocked it. “Home sweet home.” She whispered and let out a relieved sigh as she entered the comfort of her own tiny apartment. An eager bark came from the bedroom and startled Cherry. “Dolly?” She called out unsure of who to call aside h
