CHAPTER 27

CHAPTER 27

“It's you.” I say.

“Yes, it's me Love.” the love he said sounds like an endearment to me.

My world flashbacks instantly, all the memories we spent, and all the hurt he put me thru.

All those sleepless nights it keeps on coming back

I was about to say something when he stopped me.

“Please don't make a scene, let's both be professionals. Take a seat.” as he offered the chair at his front.

“I'm not a child, so don't lecture me.” I fired back.

The receptionist is still there so I calm myself first as I take my seat, putting my purse on the side of the table and composed myself.

When I look up at him, he's smiling.

“You look more beautiful than before.” he said.

I didn't start to speak until the receptionist left us.

I smiled, not that innocent smile but the smile that could be like my claws are out now.

“Nice to meet you too Mr.?” I ask sarcastically.

He laughs. “Don't be mean. You know me better than that.” he replied.
“Oh yes? Now I remembered. We had a history together. A. His.to.ry” I say as I syllabicate the history word.

“Don't sound like that.” he said. “Or else I'll think that you still had I mean, have feelings for me after all these years. “ He replied, giving me a smirk.

I gave him a poker smile. “Did I say I had feelings for you?” I asked.

Emphasizing on the word had.

“Ouch!” putting his hands on his heart. Pretender

I rolled my eyes. I gathered my purse and he stops me, held my arm when I was about to stand.

“You're pretending to be someone else when the truth is, you're not a Gilbert, you're a Guildings.” f*cking manipulative a§s#ole. ”Sit.” he said, tilting his head. I get off of his hold like a thunder.

I did and he smirks. “What the hell do you want, you stupid sh*t.” I said to him firmly.

“Last time I checked, you were making out with the curly blonde hair. What was her name?” I paused. “Oh yes..Her name's Slutty... Oops! My bad. I mean, Charity.” raising my brows and smirking.

“That's why I'm still in love with you. You're feisty.” he said smirking. He's enjoying this. When I ignored him, he continued to talk “As I was saying, why you are not using your own name? “ He asked.

“None of your business”
“The woman you're betraying is my half sister. I won't hesitate to tell her that you're fake.” he said, threatening me.

I shrug and move closer to him. “Go on. Go get your a$s up and go home.

Tell your big sister who am I and maybe, just maybe she'll be the one who will be scared to know me and she'll pretend that she didn't hear what you said.” I said, smirking. After saying my piece, I stood up. I was about to go when I turn back at him.

“And oh! I forgot something.” I walk closer to him, lowered myself near his right ear.

The idiot smirks. He thought I'll kiss him.

“You remembered it, don't you baby?” I said in my most teasing voice.

“Like it’s yesterday.” he say, closed eyes.

“I'll add something on those memories of yours.” I said, moving a little more closely. I touch his shoulder lightly.

I whispered “Don’t threaten me again.” I say as I pour a glass of ice water on his head. His face is so priceless.

Water dripping down his face and suit.

“That is for what your Charity did to Me.” and by that I left.

That's okay. Keep calm. You can do it. Just a few steps and you'll be fine.

My legs are wobbling --- I'm not used to be this bad.
I almost jump when I heard someone talked. “Love.” when I turn on who it was.

“Emerson? What are you doing here? “I asked. He's wearing a black suit, no tie.

He glances at the restaurant and I did the same.

John is nowhere on the table where I left him. He might go to the comfort room.

I sigh.

I don't know what will I do if he's there and saw me with this gorgeous yummy man in a black suit.

“Well... I just want to make a surprise visit here and see if what my employees are doing when I say I won't come.” of course he owns it. What else he doesn't? I mean, he owns almost all of the fine dine and hotels here.
I nodded.

“You finished eating?” he asked. I nodded again.

“I need to go.” and by that, I strode away. I don't know why I didn't bother to talk to him; I just want to go home.

I started the ignition and drove off. I called Tony but his phone is busy so I mental note to call him later.

I went to a drive thru to order hamburger, fries and ice cream. It's my prize for being civilized, at first.

And for being nice towards him because it's just a water that I poured him.
I was about to enter my apartment when someone called my name. I think it's from my new apartment neighbor.

I turn my back on the direction of the voice.

His body is familiar, he's wearing a sweatpants and a gray shirt. He went to the gym or may be running I don't know.

When my eyes landed on his face, I saw his gray eyes and newly shaved beard.

He has a black necklace, I don't know what it’s called but it’s like the rock star’s necklaces. Then that dings me like a fichy fucky sh*t.

“You've got to be kidding me.” I murmured at myself.
