Ashton and Thomas got into Thomas' car and Ashton waited quietly for Thomas to ignite the engine of the car but it seemed Thomas had other plans. Ashton turned to look at him in wonder and caught Thomas watching him with angry yet narrowed eyes. Ashton was beginning to get pretty uncomfortable with that glare. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, remembering that he hadn't buckled his seat belt. He turned and quickly did that. Seeing that he had securely fastened his seat belt, he sat back and turned to Thomas to find him still staring at him. What was this? He wondered. "What?" Ashton finally asked, puzzled by Thomas' intense scrutiny. Thomas remained silent, his gaze scorching. Ashton's discomfort grew as he tried to decipher Thomas' unreadable expression. That was why he had asked incredulously. But Thomas kept staring at him. He was looking a him like he was some sort of new stuff, like he was some sort of weird alien. "What is it Thomas?" He asked him and Thomas watched him, e
Rebecca got home feeling exhausted. She was pretty much tired of the entire activities of the day. She had a long day at work, what with going with Myles to see that friend of the Coopers. The same one whom they met at the club, what was his name again? She honestly couldn't remember his name. She got into the living room and slumped into the nearest couch. The room seemed dark and so she didn't realize that she had company until they spoke. "How was work today?" A voice spoke very calmly and Rebecca practically jumped to her feet and almost ran away from the room thanks to the fact that the room was dark and she couldn't see exactly where she would be running to.Diana turned on the light beside her to reveal to Rebecca that she was sitting across her on a couch cross legged. "Shit Mom!" Rebecca exclaimed in anger as she tried to steady her breathing and fastly beating heart beat. "What are you doing in here?" She asked. Diana regarded her daughter. "How did you even get in?" Reb
Ashton got to the house tired and exhausted. It had really been a long day for him and he was so exhausted. He let out a relieved sigh as he picked up his phone and in the darkness of his lonely room, he scrolled through his phone looking for a particular number. His fingers paused when he saw that he still had Rebecca's cell phone number and he stared at her name written in black on his phone. He stared at it, wanting to decide whether he should call her, just to ask and know how she was or to ignore her number and keep scrolling. Or better still, to delete her cell phone number from his phone. He wondered what it was still doing in his phone anyway. He was about to continue on his scrolling when his phone vibrated once and the music to Post Malone's song, Memories began playing, signifying that his phone was ringing. He looked startled at the name on the caller ID and wondered whether it was some sort of voodoo or something. How was it possible that he had only just finished starin
Ashton and Thomas sat opposite each other at the cafeteria as they ate. Ashton was having a platter of waffles, blueberries, and syrup, while Thomas opted for a classic hamburger. Both had a can of beer in front of them. It was closing hours, and having just finished work, they decided to unwind with some food and conversation. Ashton took a forkful of syrup-covered waffle, chewing thoughtfully and silently. Thomas, watching him closely, could sense something was on his friend’s mind.He kept observing his demeanor, he knew fully well that Ashton had something on his mind.So taking a last bite of his burger, Thomas chewed as he wiped his mouth with the napkin he had wrapped around his neck. Placing the napkin on his lap rather than around his neck, he swallowed as he watched his friend. "Ashton?" Thomas called and Ashton looked up at him in surprise. Thomas smiled at that. He had half thought that Ashton would be too engrossed in what he was thinking just now to care to hear him. Go
Rebecca and Myles got off of the car as they rounded the corner. They were in the Coopers' villa. Rebecca watched in awe at the magnitude of the buildings. It looked like this was a new city all together. Like it was a city on its own. Rebecca was still watching the beauty of the mansions and buildings in the Coopers'villa when Myles came to stand beside her. "Do you like what you see?" He asked her and she glanced at him. She looked back at the magnificent buildings. "Remind me of how you are connected to the Coopers again?" She said and he chuckled. He knew she still found it hard to believe that he had connections and personal relationships with the Coopers. She should wait until Hillary Cooper dotted on him in her presence. Myles let out a huff as he put his hands into his pockets. The officially dressed special intelligence security men stood minding their businesses like they weren't hearing the conversation Rebecca was having with Myles. They were that trained. Rebecca could
"You made poor Elizabeth to miss you so much." Mrs Cooper said to Myles and Rebecca's interest was piqued. Who was Elizabeth? Just then the guard returned with a tray of drinks, empty glasses and a bottle of wine. He poured into the wine glasses and served them. Myles chuckled from beside Rebecca. "I will speak with Elizabeth," he spoke. "She upstairs?" He asked. "No, haven't you heard?" Mrs Cooper asked and Myles looked at her with curiosity. That was when Mrs Cooper noticed Rebecca. "Oh, you brought your fiancee." She said and smiled warmly at Rebecca but her joy was cut short by Mr Coopers' interjection. "Business partner." He corrected her. "She's his business partner. " He said coldly. Rebecca saw that Mr Cooper regarded her with cold eyes. What had gone wrong? Had she said anything rude or arrogant? "Oh," Hillary said taken aback. She wasn't used to seeing her husband this cold, especially when he was around guests. What could be the matter? She wondered. Rebecca gently
Ashton saw the car that was pack in front of the house from the window. He watched Elizabeth get off of the car. She had on a dress that flowed with a jacket she simply placed on her shoulders without having to wear it. She had on a pair of dark sun shades and she wore shiny red heels. Ashton could see that her hair was well groomed and let down behind her back. He continued to watch her from the window in his office that overlooked the park. He wondered why she was here? Did she come to speak with Thomas or to him? Or was she here for the both of them?....He saw her disappear through the entrance underneath and just then, Thomas joined him at the window. "What 'you peaking at from up here?" Thomas asked him and he turned to Thomas. "I think we've got a visitor." Ashton told him. Thomas took a sip from the cup of coffee he had in his hand. "Business visitors?" He asked and Ashton let out a sigh. "You'll see." He told him. Just then, someone knocked on the door to Ashton's office
"Dude," Thomas called as he got into Ashton's office. "She likes you." He said and Ashton rolled his eyes at Thomas' ridiculous insinuation."Shut up." Ashton muttered as he focused on his personal computer."I'm telling you," Thomas said. "Did you see the way she watched you though?" He asked and Ashton rolled his eyes again."Don't you have work to do? Aren't you supposed to be meeting up with deadlines?" Ashton asked with an irritated expression on his face."I forgive you." Thomas said with a smile on his face. "You seem to have forgotten so soon that I am the CEO here and I call the shots." He boasted and Ashton smiled. Thomas was indeed a cocky bastard."Sometimes I wonder why we're partners, I should have refused your offer back then." Ashton muttered to himself but not so quietly, he wanted Thomas to hear him."You really need to listen to me though," Thomas went on and Ashton shook his head tiredly at h
