CHAPTER 25

CHAPTER 25

“Are we still talking about Emerson or.... Sebastian?” Venus said.

That brings me back to reality.
When I opened my eyes, three pairs of eyes are glaring at me.

“Don't pity me.” I murmured.

Celine sigh. “We're not.”

“We know you're hurt because of what they did, but you need to keep on the right track again. Those clubbing and partying you're doing, those random men you kiss and flirts with in the bar and that pretending you did when they went here, honestly, Love? Yes, it's brilliant to make them see that you're with Emerson and I'm not against it but the others? You're just making him see that you still love him no matter what he did and no matter how he betrayed you. You're making him feel that he have powers over you.” Venus said sincerely.

My eyes aches, trying to control the tears trying to escape

My jaw locks trying to say a word because I know for sure that if I speak a word, I will burst in to tears.

After a minute or two of looking at nowhere, Celine hugs me tight and my chest tightens like it’s ready to explode.

My Best friends.. They will always know what I feel even if I don't speak.

Emerson POV

“Oh? I'm sorry.” I said on the other line.
“No, no, no. I understand.” I replied.

“Okay.” I sigh.

I hope I'm doing it right.

I get the pictures on my desk and scan everything. It's Love's picture yesterday when she went to office, to Jem's premises to her way home.
I gathered it all and put it in my vault. I don't like anyone to see it. My Love, she's very beautiful today.

I went to my bed to sleep but even when I close my eyes, it's her face I've been seeing.

What is happening to me?

I don't know what drugs can do to you because I never tried it personally but her? She's like a drug to me.

This is the reason why I don't try to like someone. I hate feeling unsure.

Love POV

“And Love?” Jean said after I tell her schedules for this day.

When I glance back at her, she's playing her pen. “I have a brother, he's a year older than you.” she said smiling.

No, no, no. Please don't. I just raise my eyebrows, trying to wait for her reply.

“Do you like to go out with him? Like on a blind date?” she said, now grinning. “Please?” she added. “I know you just broke up with your boyfriend. I mean you're now free.”

How can I refuse her? She’s nice to me from the very beginning and what I was doing to her? I've been watching her every move her and recording it on my phone. I'm not filming her; I just make notes on my phone, transfer it on my laptop at home and erasing it on my phone just in case she borrows it.

“It's the least I can do for you, so sure.”

She claps her hands and she immediately picks her phone and dial her brother's number I think. I shook my head, smiling. I was about to exit when she told me not.

“Just a sec.” she told me.

“Hey brother! I've got you a date, are you up for it?” I was right, it’s her brother. She laughs.

I just look down on her schedules on my tablet.

“Yes, yes. Okay. Will call you later.” I heard her say.

When she hangs up the phone she's still laughing.

“He can't do anything, I literally ordered him to go with you. He's stubborn but he'll be nice to you. “ I just nodded.

“Are you free tomorrow? Say.. Seven in the evening?” she asks me hopingly.

I think, well.. I won't go to Jem tomorrow so.. “Yes, sure I think I'm free.”

“He's gonna pick you up at 7 then.” she replied.

“That won't be necessary, I'll drive. Where should I go?” I replied to her.

She shrugs. “Okay, I won't force you. Be at Italianis Quo then. Reservation on my name.” she chuckled.

She chuckled? What did I do to make my shouty boss to be like this?

“On your name? You’ll pay for our dinner?” I asked her.
She shook her head. “No, just in case you forgot his name, at least you know mine. “

I laugh and turn back but then glance back at her.

“What's his name anyway?” I asked.

She smiled. “John.” I nodded and left.
