EMILYlopened my eyes, slowly blinking as I looked around the room. I had a headache from the champagne the night before, and it took me a moment to remember where I was exactly. Slowly, the events of the previous day came to mind, and I began to piece together what today would hold.I remembered having the disagreement with my sister, and began searching for my phone. I then remembered that I had dropped my clutch out in the living room, and figured my phone must be inside. Looking around the room, I could see that Kyle was already gone, having gotten dressed while I was still asleep.I hurried out to the living room in nothing but my underwear and, sure enough, found my phone inside my clutch. Kyle had been kind enough to pick it up off the floor and leave it sitting on the coffee table for me, and I ignored the feeling of embarrassment that threatened to swell up in me.I was a grown woman, and I was allowed to do anything I wanted-includinghaving a one-night stand with a person t
EMILY"Now, tell me absolutely everything. I'm shocked that you even went, and I want to hear how you held up with the rest of the crowd." Maddy said as she walked in through the door.I smiled and shook my head, also unsure of how I had managed to do so well with the situation I had put myself in. I wouldn't have said that I'd handled things perfectly, but I had certainly held my own in the club. "You're not mad at me, are you?" I asked as the two of us walked into the kitchen.Maddy laughed."I have to admit, I thought it was a little strange when you hopped into myride but when you didn't answer my call, I figured you knew what you were doing." She shook her head with a mischievous grin and I smiled, too. I still felt the ex-citement in my chest, and I was eager to relate to her what had happened.Maddy took a seat at the counter and I handed her a glass of iced tea beforegrabbing my own glass and settling in to begin."Well, as you know, we arrived at that mansion up on the hil
."Maddie please, don't do this." He sighed raising his hands in the air in a defence position taking another step forward.I opened my mouth and met out a piercing scream, it lasted for around twenty seconds. Long enough for Dylan to back away from me and the lady around the till to come rushing around.It felt as if the next few moments were played out in slow motion the women had barley reached me when I heard the door of the cafe slam open the impact a lot larger than mine that it caused the glass on the door to shatter.My eyes shot to the doorway which was being took up by Fours large stance who's whole body was clenched his chest heaving up and down his golden eyes set on me before flickering to Dylan.My eyes widened as he took no time before he stalked over his long legs carrying him to my side where he reached out grabbing ahold of my arm pulling my into his large chest blocking my view from the rest of the cafe.I felt heat radiating of his body as his chest huffed and puff
KYLEI left early that morning, letting Emily sleep in. I didn't know much about her, and I didn't want to break the spell of the night we'd spent together by talking about things that we didn't need to talk about. All too often, I would wake up next to a woman only to hear how she was getting back at her ex-boyfriend, or that she was doing something to bring drama into some relationship she was having.There were those who were lonely, and those who merely wanted to get a taste of what it would be like to be with a man like me. Sure, they were all intended to be one-night stands on my end, too, and I hadn't ever formed any real opinion about any one of them. But, at the same time, I didn't want the woman cur- rently in my bed to wake up and tell me something about herself that would change the way I felt about her.That thought filled me with confusion.I liked doing what I did and splitting the next day. It was the ego boost I needed; a modicum of fulfillment in a life that I wasn't
EMILYThat evening, I returned to work, going about my shift at the hospital as though nothing had happened the night before, answering my coworkers' questions about the time I'd spent with my sister but not mentioning to them that I had stolen her identity and ended up at a party that was more amazing than any- thing I had ever experienced before.I ran through my list of patients, taking care of each one as needed. Each person I took care of only served as a reminder of the path I had chosen in life. Sure, I was pleased with my career, and I found it incredibly fulfilling what I could do in the lives of others.But, when it came down to it, I was feeling incredibly envious of my sister. I wanted her life. I wanted to be invited to those parties and to meet those men. I wanted to be the one everyone knew from the cover of a magazine. I wanted to be wanted once again. Try as I may, there was no way I could get Kyle Cun- ningham out of my mind, and each time his face appeared in the ba
"You know that we don't have time, Mr Levi what are you doing? Don't put it there!!" Our VP's voice bellowed in our department."What a crazy witch?" Zach muttered with a face laced with irritation."I agree." I whispered back as I was passing him the banners to hang them up."I'm tired guys, why is she making us do these things." Kate groaned in frustration from beside me as she was cleaning the tables."Because today our beloved owner slash CEO is paying a visit to his abandoned office and she needs our lair immaculately perfect." I said dramatically with a pause and was about to continue when Kate narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked."What are you wearing tonight for the party?""Don't know?" I shrugged."Mr Young, Miss Miller and Miss Nolan, what are you'll doing there, there's no time for chit chat." with a murderous glare, the VP yelled at us.She threw some posters and banners at our hand "Hang and stick them up there." she said pointing towards the empty white walls.When she
Kate, Zach and I were standing infront of the massive and most the expensive hotel of Manhattan. At the entrance of the hotel were reporters, paparazzi, cameraman, holding their camera and continuously clicking the pictures of the celebrities and the business tycoons, who were entering from the VIP doors.And for common employees like us, we had to enter the hotel from backside.What a sad thing.."Ugh!! These camera flashes are hurting my eyes, let's get in." Zach groaned in an annoyed tone."No! I want to see our boss entering the hotel and I even have my phone ready to click his picture." Kate flashed a smile, pointing her phone to us."After clicking his picture, please send it to me also." I said as Kate nodded in excitement while Zach rolled his eyes, frustrated by our behaviour. "How I wish they had taken my pictures too." Kate pouted. "How am I looking?" She turned towards us.Kate was wearing a hot pink satin floor length dress with spaghetti straps, which had a slit upto to
I reached the garden of the massive hotel and it was beautiful with the pole light on the compound of the hotel. I pulled my gown up before walking on the grass.I've said hello numerous times while walking down the stairs of the hotel but there was no response, so I disconnected the call. And now again I'm dialling to the same unknown number.On the second ring the person on the other side received."Hello?" I finally heard the voice of the person."Who is it? You have been calling me." I asked as I walked further more down the garden."Actually I'm sorry ma'am for dialling your number, I was dialling someone else but I don't know how your number popped up in my phone" the person said.So it's a wrong number..I sighed."Okay" I said in a bored tone and disconnected the call.I turned around to make way back to the hotel but I stopped in my track as I heard something. I turned back and infront of me was a garage.What was that sound??My curiosity kicked in as I took a slow cautious
