WRONG SIGNAL" What did you say to him?" Cole asked as he turned to me." I didn't say anything to him, he was on about you not being a mean boss and would let me go for lunch with him," I said, biting my lips and looking like a kid who was being scolded." You're not going anywhere with him, no way," Cole said with finality in his voice." Let's focus, we're here for work, we can talk later," I said turning back to the speaker." There's nothing to talk about, you're not going anywhere with him, that's final," I heard Cole whisper but I didn't turn. When the meeting was over I stood up from my seat following Cole as we both walked out of the room.We were just about to walk out of the building when I heard the familiar voice of the Italian man calling me." Miss Anna," He said as he walked to Cole and me then walked with us out of the hotel." Did you forget we have a date?" He asked me with a smile and Cole's jaw ticked." Uhm Mr Rodriguez, I'm sorry but I came here for work and I
PANICKED" I'm not in the country right now but I'll find a way, I'll get on the next flight, anything, please take care of her for me, I'm coming, please," I said as tears uncontrollably ran from my eyes. I was panicking." I will, please stop crying she's going to be fine," The voice over the phone said and I nodded, unable to speak, not like he could see me." Okay," I whispered before ending the call, then I tried to wipe my tears because they wouldn't stop falling.I quickly rushed back to where Cole and his business partner were seated, Cole's face instantly filled with worry and he quickly rose from his chair as soon as I reached him." You were crying Anna, what happened?" He asked." I'll have to leave you guys, I have to be on the next flight to Texas, my best friend got into an accident, you can go on with your meeting, I'll have to go back, I have to make sure she's okay, I'll have…" Cole stopped me as his hand held mine to calm my shaking hands." Hey, hey, she's going to
A BEST FRIEND'S LOVE The sight before me was heart-wrenching and I had to control myself before I started crying. Cole told me to be strong for both of us and crying wasn't going to help.Bella had her leg bandaged and hanging up, she had a cervical collar around her neck and there was a tube connected to her mouth. I could see the bruise on her face. She was asleep and quiet, my Bella who is always happy and talking was asleep and I didn't know when she'd wake up." Bells," I whispered as I went to sit beside her on the bed." I'm here now, everything is going to be alright, you're going to wake up," I said as I placed my hand on her face, the face I've seen smile all the time, we've both had accidents but not like this, looking at her like this scares me." She'll be fine," Cole said as he came to stand beside me, placing his hands on me to comfort me." I think you should go home, and get some rest, you don't need to stay here with me," I told him as I placed my hand on his hand r
BUSTED" You know I'm not sick that you're pampering me like this," I said to Cole who was seated beside me as he tried to feed me. For the past two days, he has been bringing food specially cooked by him and he made sure I finished everything." You're not but you've been refusing to eat and I've said it several times, the last thing I want is for you to fall sick or lose weight," He said as he brought another spoonful of chicken soup and I didn't have any choice but to take it.A knock suddenly came on the door and Cole groaned as I chuckled because now that someone else would be in the room, he would have to act like my boss and not my boyfriend, a part he didn't like playing at all.Cole stood up as he went to open the door and Luke stepped in." Hey Luke," I greeted him with a smile as he walked towards me and then he sat on the couch beside me." Is there an improvement?" He asked and I shook my head.Bella hasn't moved even a finger and it was scaring me." It's okay, she'll be
THE STRANGE FEELING" Mom, what are you talking about?" I asked her as I turned to Bella so she doesn't see my face, my mom always had, should I say a superpower, because she'd look at your face and already know what you're thinking. It was scary sometimes." I'm your mother and you seem to forget I'm a very observant woman, I saw the way that man looked at you, and from what you told me, your company is a very renowned company, so which of the boss is he?" " He's my boss, like the CEO of our company," " Now can you tell me what a very busy CEO was doing in this room? When he could send someone in his stead I know he doesn't do this for all employees, so care to explain," " I'm his secretary mom, so if I don't come to work everyone would surely know and I'm closest to him than the other staff"" Let's say I believe you, explain why he was looking at you the way he did, I know when a man likes a woman, don't fool me, Anna, I know you're hiding something," Now I was trapped." I..I.."
YOU'RE MY GIRLFRIEND" Don't move, just start driving," He said as my eyes went to the door contemplating opening it and running out." Don't even think about it, I said just drive," He said and I started the car." Don't do anything funny, I swear you won't like what I'll do to you," " What's wrong with you Derick? Why are you doing this?" I asked as I kept driving, where did he even want me to go?" Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" I asked him." We're going home baby, where it's just you and me like old times, just you and me, drive to my house," He commanded and I found myself driving to his house." This is wrong, this is considered kidnapping Derick, you can't do this to me," I said as I took a turn, I saw a police car parked at the corner of the road and he saw it too, I contemplated stopping and screaming for help but I saw him bring out something shiny and my eyes went round in surprise." Didn't I tell you not to think of trying anything funny? You're my girlfr
HER CRAZY EXThe first thing I noticed as I walked out of the elevator was that Anna wasn't in the office, maybe she was running late. I called this morning and I wasn't getting any response from her. Worry kicked in but I pushed it down, what if something happened to her friend? She'll be here, maybe she's caught up in traffic, Anna wasn't the type of staff that comes to work late. I walked to my office hoping that she would be here soon.Thirty minutes later and I still haven't heard from her, normally she would have called but I haven't gotten any call from her either. Worry set in again, I couldn't go to the hospital because I knew people would start wondering who this guy was who was always coming to the hospital, also her mom was in the hospital and I didn't know if Anna already told her about our relationship, I knew Anna didn't want that. I just had to be patient and she'll come.But after two hours of working and there still wasn't any sign of Anna, there was no doubt that
TEN TIMES HOTTER" This is insane Derick, why would you do that?!" I asked as I demanded for my phone but he still wouldn't give me." What part of you're my girlfriend don't you understand? I'm not letting you out of this house, you're not going back to that man!" He said in anger." What man are you talking about?" I asked him even though I knew he was referring to Cole." Don't pretend you don't know who I'm talking about when he claims to be your boss but wants more from you," He said." I'm done doing this with you Derick, give me my phone, I'm getting out of this place," I said as I struggled to get the phone from him but he wrapped his hand around my neck and a gasp escaped my mouth in fear." I've tried to be nice but you're pushing me to the wall," In the real sense of the word he was the one pushing me to the wall." You're hurting me," I managed to squeeze out trying to pry his hands off my neck but he only tightened it." You don't seem to get me but you're mine you're min
