Aaron~I watch as Lana brushed the tear threatening to leave her eyes away as she looked outside the car. I felt a knot tighten in my throat on remembering just how she was looking when I barged into the room.I should’ve been there sooner. I should’ve tried to make sure that bastard couldn’t do this to her. She was gone for a while and I was beginning to worry, thinking she had probably lost the way back to the meeting hall only to pass by the room and hear her screaming. My heart legit stopped beating for a minute as I barged into the room to see her halt in her steps, eyes wide with fear and worry. Her hair had been tousled and rough, shirt disheveled slightly.“We’ve arrived sir.” The driver says, jolting me out of my thoughts. I glanced beside me to see Lana already getting ready to leave.I paid the driver and got down from the car while Lana got down from the other side. She didn’t seem to want to talk to me and well, I understand why.We walked into the lobby and I called out
Lana~Eyes fluttered, I groaned slightly as I shifted, the sun already up and disturbing my sleep. I snuggled even more against the bed, feeling the softness against my body. I couldn’t help whining slightly as the sun shone brightly against my face, disrupting my sleep. It was gone just like it came, now there was a soothing yet relieving shade covering my eye. Wait, shade? Soothing shade?My eyes shot open only to Aaron peering down at me, creased lines against forehead, tongue poking at his right cheek. Hair tousled roughly but not too rough. His eyes widen as soon as our eyes met, his face was inches away from mine. He is the shade covering the sun from me. I felt my heart flutter at the thought but shoved it to the back. Watching Aaron’s eyes drop to my lips, he swallowed visibly. Jumping back slightly, he almost tumbled off the bed. “Fuck, are you okay?” I ask, sitting up immediately, jumping to grab his wrist only to fall on his chest, his hand wrapped around my waist to s
Lana~A groan escaped my lips as my eyes flutter open, taking a look around where we are. “Oh, you’re awake. I was just about to come wake you up, we’ve arrived in NewYork.” Aaron spoke from behind. I sat up, sleep clearing from my eyes almost immediately. “Let’s go. I got your things packed up.” He says again, stretching his hand forward to help me stand up. I look at his hand for some seconds and slid my hand in his. Aaron smiled widely as we got down from the plane. I spent the last seven hours sleeping and now feel weak to my bones.Minutes later I found myself outside the airport with Aaron. “Come on, the car is here.” He tells me, tucking his phone into his pockets as he nudged me to move. Instead I shook my head, looking into my phone. The driver is just a minute away.“You don’t have to worry sir, Sasha and Ellie are picking me up.” I lied confidently. Sasha and Ellie don’t even know I’m back in NewYork talk less of coming to pick me at the airport.“What?” Aaron blanched. I
Lana~"What?”Sasha and Ellie stare at me shocked. Why? Because I told them I have a date with Nathan.“Lana, what are you doing?” Ellie asked, placing her hand over mine, eyes filled with care and worry. I glanced at Sasha who had the same look in her eyes.“Lana, are you sure? Nathan?” Sasha asked.“Yeah, stop behaving like I gave you an invitation to my funeral. It’s just a date to see if something can develop between the both of us.” I replied confidently but the look on their faces tells me they don’t believe my bullshit. “That’s preposterous, Lana. Nathan has been trying to go out with you for two years! He’s flirted and basically done everything in the books to make sure you date him but you’ve always turned him down, you’ve behaved like you don’t see him and now it’s convenient for you to just opt for him like he’s a second option?” Sasha snapped.I raised my eyes at her, surprised at her outburst. “Sasha!” Ellie calls out her name.“Face it, Ellie. Lana is being an ass to Na
Lana~I woke up the next day, feeling cramped up and tired like I ran a marathon yesterday even if I did none of that. I groaned, getting off the bed, my joints still feeling cramped.I walked to the bathroom, splashing water on my face, I grabbed the face towel by the door and wiped my wet face, staring at my reflection in the mirror.My brown eyes seemed so dull, eyes puffy and face swollen. Oh, I had doughnuts last night. That’s why I feel like a bloated goat. I stood up straight, putting the towel back on the door and grabbed a robe, wrapping it around my naked frame. I glanced at the time to see it’s 11-30 am. Thankfully today’s a Saturday which makes it okay to sleep in.I stepped out of the room, glancing at the room next to mine. Sasha cried herself to sleep last night even after we spoke. I could hear her sobs as I struggled to sleep but couldn’t. I contemplated going to comfort her but gave it up. She probably needs to cry alone for some time.I let my feet carry me to th
Lana~“So…” Ellie dragged out, the sound of her fork dropping to the plate clicked hard. “Sasha said you have some news for us, so?” I pretended to not know what she’s talking about, dead on pretending to be unaware.“Please, Mine can wait but yours! Yours is more juicer. What happened to the story?” Ellie asked and Sasha snorts. I threw her a dirty look and she rolled her eyes.“So? What happened to the plot? You both were sucking each other’s face.” Ellie wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.“Well, turns out we both had a miscommunication. He likes me and we’re going on a date.” I say and Sasha squealed hard while Ellie groaned.I covered my ears, shooting a glare at her. “What? I’m allowed to squeal seeing as I won a hundred bucks.” Sasha says smugly, now sitting down. “Uh? How did you win? From what?” I asked, confused and Sasha groaned.“Ellie here was confident that your trip to Greece would do nothing to bring out your very obvious crush on him.” She deadpanned. I gaped at them
Aaron~“Do you realize were being a fool and won’t have known if I didn’t tell you?” Kai asked, quirking an eyebrow up, trying so hard to concede his his smug look.I rolled my eyes, gulping the rest of the red wine. “I asked her out on a date.” I chose to reply instead. Kai chuckled, dropping his glass cup on the table and leaned to stretch.“Be good to her.” He says or warned. I quirked an eyebrow up, wondering why he think I won’t be good to her and even more why he is warning me for her.“Just like you be good to Cecilia.” I shot back, watching him groan at the mention of his ex.“Speaking about exes, where has your creepy ex been? Haven’t heard from her in a while.” He says. I was immediately reminded of her message to be back in Greece, choosing to brush it off instead.“Meh, I couldn’t care less and I’m just happy I don’t get to hear from her anymore.” Kai hummed, raking his hair backwards.“Whatever you say man, Where is Asher?” He asks. The door suddenly opens, revealing th
Lana~The pile of papers hit the table loudly. A satisfied grin laid at the corner of my lips. "You good back there?” Natalie’s voice boomed through the store room. “Yeah, got what I needed and will be out of your hair.” I yelled back, leaning down to pick the papers. I walked out of the store, coughing slightly at the amount of dust in the store room.Sasha owes me a lot for helping her get this down here. I clutch the papers against my chest as I climbed the stairs up. “It’s a mess down there and we haven’t gotten the time to clear it up. I’m sorry you got choked.” Natalie says apologetically, tucking her hand into the pockets of her green suit.“Eh, it’s fine but you guys should really find a way to clean back there. I’m not sure Mr Carlsen would like to see that.” I say, quirking an eyebrow up so she could see how serious I am being.Natalie grimaced, probably imagining of Aaron’s reaction when he sees the huge mess down there. “Yeah, we will get it sorted out. Thanks for stoppi
