Chapter 038
Akira's POV
"We are just friends." I snarled, pushing his hand off my shoulders that were pressing me hard to the couch.
"Friends, how come, I don't see it that way? Are you crushing on him, I get it, you are falling for him."
"Of course not..."
"Then why are you desperate to go with him and push me away, wait, are you ashamed of me?" I look at him lost, what is he saying ashamed of him? No way, he is handsome young, and wealthy, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
"I am not doing any of that and I didn't see anything wrong with me having other male..."
"For crying out, you are my woman and I wouldn't allow you to be with other males when you are my woman. If I was with another woman, you would not be pleased..." I tittered and then he looked lost at me. "What's funny?"
"I couldn't give less of a fuck. And maybe, you forget we are couple by a contract. At some point, we are going to go our separate ways and hell no, I am not going to detail your life for you, if you want to have numerous females, I couldn't care and I expect you to do the same unless you want to tell me you are falling for me and remember the last clause, you are not allowed to fall in love with me..." He distanced himself from me, "are you falling in love with me?" I asked, with a flicker of hope, that he was acting Possessive because he was falling for me. But his face crumpled and he was acting like it's a disgusting thing to fall for me. That expression on his face shattered me.
"No, I can't be in love with you and I get it, I shouldn't Lord it over you, and as for the fake girlfriend stuff, I am calling it off, you are no longer my fake girlfriend, we are on a boss and employee basis, now leave." I looked at him lost, those words coming from his mouth were sending a dagger to my heart, what is this? Why do his words hurt? "Meredith will bring you home..." Wolfie said the very moment the door opened and Meredith walked in, I nodded, my heart crushed, and I felt disappointed, I didn't know where this feeling was coming from, but I was broken, I knew it was his words that hurt me.
My heart dropped. I opened my mouth to speak, to argue, but no words came out. I looked up at Meredith, his eyes were filled with genuine concern.
"Let's go..." he said, his voice barely above a whisper. I nodded, walking slowly behind Meredith.
I swear, this isn't what I wanted to do. I wanted to scream, to cry, to run out of Wolfie's building and never look back. But I couldn’t do that, I didn't want to make him get the slightest idea that I was falling for him.
Even if he canceled our contract, I still got my job, I should be grateful that he wasn't taking everything away from me.
When I sat inside Meredith's car, I couldn't even look at him, I just rested my head on the window, "what happened between you and Logan?" I tilted my head to him
"What could happen between a boss and his employees, if not about negligence of duties?" I said in a roll but in a real sense, that was a fat white lie
"Are you sure it's not about Casper?" All I could do was stare at Meredith, was it even about Casper or the stupid me, wanting Wolfie to prophesy love for me?
I had misread everything, that happened last night, this morning, and a few hours ago, stupid, they were all in my head
"You should pulled over there,” I said, my voice barely audible.
Meredith looked like he wanted to say something to comfort me but he didn't know how to because that look on his face showed he didn't believe me that our issue was about work but something else. “Are you sure, you will be save here?"
I forced a nod, though the thought of walking through the remaining block in the dark was scary but I knew I wanted to be left alone and that my tears were gathering like a dark cloud and any moment from now, it would rain. The rain in my eyes will soon start falling, “Yeah, sure, I will be fine” I replied, my voice hollow.
"Alright be careful..." He said pulling over as I grabbed the door of the car before getting down, I waved to him, and he hesitated for a brief second before turning the ignition and driving away.
I watched his car speed off, I stood there for what felt like hours, staring at the empty street and the silent whisper of the night. My heart races to Wolfie. I don't know but those words break my heart.
'Akira stop that, unless you have fallen for him,' I shake my head, as my inner thoughts invade my head.
'it's just a crush, not love, no I don't love Wolfie,' I said mentally. I was convincing myself but it's not working.
I wandered, my mind replaying the conversation over and over again. I tried to make sense of it, tried to figure out, the reason, I was hurting and the pain coming from my heart. Is unbearable for me and it breaks me more.
Tears welled up in my eyes, and I wiped them away furiously. I didn’t want to cry, didn’t want to let myself break down in the middle of the street. But the pain was too much to bear. I found myself sitting on the pavement on the roadside, that was when I finally allowed myself to sob.
"Yes Akira, I am falling for him," I admit, screaming my pain out, I know it's bad but I can't help it.
Each tear felt like a relief, but it didn’t make the hurt go away. I had no idea that I was falling for him but now that I realized I was developing feelings for him, I know I had to kill it if I wanted to continue working with him the funniest thing is, I had to figure out how to kill that feeling I had for him. It seemed impossible, but I knew I had to try.
My phone buzzed, I pulled out my bag and brought out my phone, "Hello..."
"Hey Akira..." I sighed, my tears had clouded my eyes that I didn't even check who the caller was.
"Casper..." I said before inhaling deeply and wiping my tears.
"Are you crying? Did that beast..."
"No, he didn't..." I cut him off.
"If he didn't why are you crying?"
"We break up..." I found myself saying that like we were in a real relationship. Casper went mute for a while but he huffed. "Don't beat yourself, it's not your fault, it is meant to happen one way or the other, it just so happens so soon," I said tilting my to the stars, taking a deep breath, trying to steady myself.
"Stop crying is his loss, not yours, if he doesn't love you there are thousands of men that could fall hopelessly in love with you. You are..."
"Casper, can we talk tomorrow, I am tired," I said not wanting to hear about how beautiful I was if I was so fucking hot while isn't Wolfie falling for me.
"Sure, see you tomorrow." He said ending the calls, I sighed, keeping my phone in my bag. I stood from the pavement, Wolfie was never mine in the first place, how ironic? I just bad-mouthed Katerina saying she is the one chasing Logan. Not knowing I am the one falling hopelessly for Logan.
I wipe my face, he was never mine in the first place. When I arrived home, Vida had already left for the bar, so I was the only one at home, it was a good thing, I arrived late, I wouldn't know how to explain to Vida, that I was falling or I had already fallen for my boss.
I didn't know I had cried myself to sleep, and it was morning already, I didn't even hear when Vida pulled the door. "Hey, close the curtain, I want to sleep," I said when sun ray visited my face.
"Sleeping? No work?" Vida asked I throw the duvet off my face, and Vida's mouth drop, "What the fuck? You look like a zombie. Who hurt you?"
"Wolfie, he breaks up with me..."
