Chapter 15 - A Wild One

Of course, she is dodging like a sexy coward AGAIN.

It's been five days since the exhibition ended, and there's no sign of Danielle coming up to me for the talk.

She's been refusing to make any eye contact with me ever since, avoiding any kind of conversation by sending everything through emails.

All she's been saying are 'Morning', 'Take this', 'Check your email', and 'Goodbye'.

Why does she have to be this distant and passive?

I glance at her beautiful composed side face and sigh. This is really annoying.

One minute she is kissing me, then the next minute she is pretending like I don't even exist.

Screw her. I can be as stubborn as her.

If you don't want to talk, don't talk.

Luke asked me to go clubbing with him tonight. I'm going to party HARD to get my mind off this emotional tug of war with Danielle.

Danielle's POV:

As the corner of my eyes catches Sage closing the office door behind her, I let out a big sigh and relax my shoulders.

It's all my goddamn hormones' fault.

Of course, she'd expect me to talk to her after I impulsively kissed her.

I bite my lips. She just looked so worried and cute...I just wanted to make the frown on her face go away.

Well, I did. Now the frown is on my face.

Damn, I really am not ready for this. I know I should try to open up to her, yet the thought of mixing my personal feelings with office affairs...makes it a hundred times harder.

I am seriously at the peak of my career life right now, adding any complications into it does not seem like a smart move.

I was stupid once before, letting my feelings get the better of me and almost getting my career destroyed.

'Yeah, just run away like you always did! You're so done here! One call, I'll tell them you're a fucking cunt, then you can forget your events dream!'

'Pick the fuck up! Please...baby, I was mad, I didn't mean it. Don't leave me here...I love you, please...'

The voicemails Alex left me when I was on my way to the airport start echoing around my ears.

Stop, just stop.

I bury my head into my hands, trying to block out the voice but in vain.

I can't put myself through this, not again.

All these years, I've built up enough walls to keep myself safe from those rumours. I am always thankful for how technology wasn't so advanced six years ago so that Alex couldn't really harm me here.

Hell, she couldn't even find me.

However, everything is so open and connected on the Internet right now. I don't think if it goes wrong this time, I can get away that easily.

As much as it possibly will pain me, I need to let go of this fling I have with Sage.

I turn on my mobile and type.

Me:
Are you free tonight?

Frank:
Yes...when do you want to meet?

Me:
Half past midnight. Bring your stuff. We're going to have some fun.
