Eric's POV
* 3 Days back *
I saw her enter the conference room. She had her classic smirk on. I ignored her and started shuffling through the papers. I known that Stevie knows that I'm uncomfortable and she was trying to reach for me, but I ignored her, not knowing what to answer. The meeting went on for 2 hours and the whole time Amanda was looking at me. I know that Stevie was confused and was waiting for me to answer, but how will I explain something I don't know myself.
Soon everyone started to fill out. I grabbed my stuffs and hurried out. Stevie was calling after me but I didn't know how to face her. I just kept waking till I reached my office and went in. Sighing I went to my desk and started working.
Almost half an hour later, I heard a knock on door.
"Come in." I replied. I heard the door open and close, yet didn't see who it was. I heard clicking of heels, getting closer.
"Yes?" I questioned, still not looking up.
" Well well well, look who's quite busy. " I stopped typing, and looked up. Shocked. What the hell is she doing here. Now what does she want?
"What do you want?" I said through gritted teeth.
"Hmm lemme think.." She pretended to think tapping her chin, only to raise my anger.
"You." She said pointing towards me, walking closer.
"Amanda I already told you to leave me alone." I warned her.
"And then I told you I won't. What's so hard to understand? I always get what I want. And I want you. So I will get you." She said stopping right in front of me.
"Amanda, I love Stevie. We are engaged. I can't and I won't ditch her." I said sternly.
"Ooh. So let's see. What if I kick her out of my way? What if I show the bitch where she belongs? What if I heir someone to kill her?" My eyes widened. What's she talking about. "What if I ask a broad man in black hood to stab her right in the middle of streets while she's strolling?" Oh my god! I should have know it. Ofcourse it was her. How can I be so stupid. She continued talking, leaning onto the desk. "What if the kinfe misses her by inches and injures her arm?" Enough!
I got up from the chair held her arm tightly and jerked her. She was still smiling. "How could you do that to someone? How could you try to KILL her?" I yelled at her.
A few weeks ago Stevie and I were walking in the strees at night after dinner. Out of know where a man in black hoodie came running towards us. I saw a knife in his hand. He was running straight towards Stevie. I guess Stevie didn't notice him coz she was speaking someone in her cellphone. I pulled her to my side just when he was going to hit her. Stevie let out a loud Yelp as the knife cut her arm and the cell fell to the ground. The man turned around to run towards us again but some people who saw what happened started running towards us shouting at the trying to help us. Which helped. Thanks to them. The man for a second looked confused but ran towards a doggy alleyway, disappearing in the darkness. The people gathered around us and asked if we were fine. Stevie's arm was bleeding. I rushed her to the hospital. She had few stitches. Though the injury was not very deep, it shook us up. We reported the incident to the cops, though they got no lead.
"How dare you? You are so selfish. You tried to kill a person, to be exact one of your employee. I can't even imagine how low you can go." I spat. "Actually who am I kidding." I snickered.
" You know me so well."
"Don't ever even try to harm Stevie. I won't let you go so easily. The cops will come after you and I'm gonna make sure you get what you deserve. PRISON!!" I spat letting go her hand.
"Oh poor Eric. You live in your own fantasy world. Don't you. I'm Amanda Harrison. You and your cops can't even touch me. I already told you and telling you again that I get what I want." She laughed.
I can't stand her anymore. " Get the hell out of my office!" I yelled at her.
"Woah! Watch your tone Mr.Parker. " she said pointing her finger towards me. " Remember the last time you tried this tone on me."
How can I forget. It was around 3 months ago. It was first time she walked into my office. I thought it must be work related. But then she revealed her true colours. She tried to fire Stevie for a mistake that she didn't even do, just because I asked her to leave my office. I still remember Stevie was so scared. She thought her career was going to end. She was accused of trading information with a rival company. But the cops found out that Stevie was innocent.
" I require that as a yes. So now where were we. Now that you understand everything, kiss me."
"What?" Is she crazy.
She held out her phone and showed me something. It was Stevie, in her office. A man was standing right outside her office with a black thing... A gun. How did he even get past the security? Amanda can really do anything.
"If you don't kiss me, I just have to cue him to shoot her. " Rage filled me.
"How could yo-.. How did he even-..." There's no point asking her. My hung my head.
Maybe she took that a hint to kiss me, coz she pushed me to my chair, sat on my lap and started kissing me. I didn't kiss her back.
"Eric" I heard a whisper. Oh my god! No she can't be here.
I pushed Amanda off me, nearly knocking her on the floor. But I couldn't care less. I took few steps towards her. Hurt clearly visible in her eyes.
"Stevie listen to me. It's not what it seems like-"
"Oh yeah, then what is it? Were you not kissing her? Explain then. " She cut me off.
"Stevie it's...Stevie I was not.." words got lost in my mouth and hung my head low. I can't tell her. Not now. She will surely kill her. I can't. Amanda just stood there folding her arms, smirking.
"Go to hell!" She spat and slapped me and walked out of the office. She was crying and I was the reason. My eyes got glassy and I fell in to my knees. Tears rushing down my checks.
I hurt her and I can't help her. I can't kiss her. I can't hold her and give her the assurance that everything's gonna be alright. I won't ever see love for me in her beautiful hazel eyes. I can't do anything and it's killing me.
