CHAPTER 17
EMBERLYNN’S POV
“There’s no way we are sitting that party out, A”, I say bouncing on the bed.
“I already said I wasn’t going to go Emb, so drop it”, She says turning to her laptop.
I met A on my first day at NYU, I still remember that day, clear as if it was yesterday.
A lot of people thought being rich didn’t have its disadvantages but yeah it did, loneliness was one of them, before her I had no one, just dad who tried his best to make out time for me but as always, a business man was a business man, I wouldn’t ever say that to him though, he was the best dad and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
But when I came in here I was really scared, I mean I didn’t want to have a lonely university experience, so when I spilled coffee all over A and she slapped me not caring about my status or nothing, I stuck to her like glue.
Nope I don’t enjoy pain, but I admired the way she corrected me.
That day I had just gotten the coffee when

CHAPTER 18LUCA’S POV“You put in so much effort this week, you should join them for the hangout at Stephens”, Williams says after the end of another long day.It has been 6 months and a few since I was brought to New York as the P.A. to the great Mr. Smith, as he predicted there were a lot of objections from people that wanted to have the position and even more from his Board, but of course it all went away after a month.I still didn’t know how he managed to get them to shut up but whatever he did worked. The only downside was that I had no friend here and after sometime I sent a mail to old man Jack, yes that was how lonely I was. He didn’t reply though, maybe he lost the account or something but it was nice having someone for that while.“Quit thinking so hard, you have to get with these people, because you might need them for a reason tomorrow, not financial reason of course but maybe a vote

CHAPTER 19EMBERLYNN’S POV“I still don’t understand why you wanted to look round, the place is pretty simple”, A grumbles as we return back to the VIP lounge we booked for tonight.It was a pretty place, well if a club could be called pretty, the music was as loud as you will imagine it in a club, the ground beating type of music and you had to shout all your conversations to be heard above the music.The place wasn’t meant for talking though, when we passed the dance floor I had almost fainted from all the sexual energy in that place, they were lots of dry humping and I could be very positive that some had even moved right into the sex. That place practically oozed sex and sweat.Well when we walked in we moved to this silent bliss of a VIP room but it didn’t take long till I became itchy, I had to look round, to make sure there were no fine man I was missing,Hence my request to be shown round and sincerely there were lots of fine men down ther

CHAPTER 20LUCA’S POV“So, your friend doesn’t like me”, I say as soon as we are seated.“Ignore her, its not you, she is weary of all men” Emberlynn says.We are seated on the couch I purposely sat on earlier with her when I pretended Aria was invincible.Damn has she grown even more beautiful, I could feel my heart still beating, I liked her enough that time, maybe even love I couldn’t be sure.But now she seemed to be a present figure in Emberlynn’s life and I wasn’t sure where that would take me.My one saving grace is that it didn’t seem like she told Emberlynn the whole story about us, if not saying my name earlier would have been disastrous.Another thing was that she didn’t seem to remember our first encounter which was also good, or maybe I didn’t give her my name even then.It came as a surprise that she didn’t bother to find out anything about me either, its not like it was a pleasant meeting.“Weary of all

CHAPTER 21EMBERLYNN’S POV“that was pretty intense”, I stand and run my hands through my hair after righting my clothes.“You’re already regretting it?” he asks standing too.I look away and he starts to pace.To be sincere I wasn’t regretting the act of finally losing this virginity of a thing but in a club with someone who I didn’t even know, this really isn’t me, the only way i thought something like this was going to happen was if I was losing my mind and only people who were in love lose their mind.Love at first sight had never been my thing or rather I didn’t think it was, the thought of it was plain stupid, and that’s exactly what was happening to me, stupidity.“Quit pacing, it’s giving me a headache and of course I'm not regretting shit, it would have just been nice losing my virginity in a nicer place”, I found myself saying.“You really don’t regret it?” he asks standing in front of me, holding my face tenderly.I sm

CHAPTER 22LUCA’S POV“The contract is as useless as the stupid tray it was brought in”, Williams shouts at Mark Leon, he was just assigned the CEO of Global construction and his first move was to try and get Mr. Smith to back up a building project.Sincerely it was a bold mood, though the project was set to generate more income in the next 2 years after it was complete though.They wanted to build it into a hospital, to me an apartment should have been a better deal.“Sir I know you don’t see how attractive this is, but_” Mr. Leon starts.“Ph, of course I know it isn’t attractive, how long will it take to find someone who is willing to move into the building, and what if the Government decides it will be a nice spot, they rent it of course and for the first year we all relax and sip some wine with a little dollar, but what happens in a year’s time? When they decide charity is a good thin

CHAPTER 23EMBERLYNN’S POV“Your phone was ringing non-stop, I had to tell whoever that you were away”, Aria says from the bed.Surprised more at the fact that she was talking to me than the fact she picked my call, I turn to her.“What?” I say and she looks up from her phone surprised.“I can’t take your calls now too?” she says looking offended, I quickly shake my head.“No! You’re speaking to me! I mean I knew you weren’t angry with me but you kind of went into that shell like the first time”, I say awkwardly moving towards her.She shrugs and looks back at her phone, “You were making a bad decision and you weren’t listening to all the advice I was giving, I was pissed but as you pointed out, you're not a child, so basically now I'm like whatever”, she says.“You know I will always take your advice but the problem is I think when it has to do with men, you're uhm, like more sentimental and you let your heart do the judging not

CHAPTER 24LUCA’S POVI put the last item I purchased into the fridge.I had gone grocery shopping because suddenly I had enough time. No, I hadn’t been fired or rather I didn’t think so.After lunch break Williams had called me into his office and just said “Take the rest of the day” he hadn’t looked up from his documents or given an explanation, I really was tempted to ask, but I was scared the answer will shatter years of work and I’ll be damned if I allowed that.That was why I had nodded, returned to my office, took out the most important file for the meeting he had today and left.I was still waiting for the call, I look at my watch and see it was just 3, 2 more hours to 5 for the meeting.I knew the secretary will have to get it ready by 4 at the latest, so probably by 4:30 I should be called back and then I would prove that the office can’t do with me.Another thing troubling me was that Emberlynn hadn’t called me, did I

CHAPTER 25EMBERLNN’S POVI pack a bag for the sleep over I'm planning still not saying anything to Aria, not on purpose but anytime I want to say anything I remember what Luca said and how possible it actually is.“Okay spit it out”, Aria finally says jumping down from her bed and walking towards me.Our room wasn’t a classic hostel type of room, it was a big room, with its toilet and of course a walk-in closet, the only thing we didn’t have was a kitchen, well none of us cooked so it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.Okay no Aria cooks but she didn’t do it because it was one of the things that reminded her of her ex, me I was never interested in the workings of the kitchen.“Spit what out?” I say stuffing my sundress into the bag.“You have been looking at me weird all day, or rather till you spoke to your guy, and its uncomfortable”, she says folding her hands in front of her and standing right at my front, “And where are you o
