My Nemesis

Chapter 6

"Hold it." I heard. It was the same voice that I heard six years ago. It feels so familiar and as if I was waiting to hear his voice. Damn I didn't knew it.

I held the door and saw him coming towards the elevator. The last time I saw him he was boy who always wore jeans and t-shirts and now look at him. Wearing a suit, well ironed, hairs slicked back and a more mature look on his face.

Jackson entered the elevator with his world famous smile tugged on his face. I couldn't help but feel a little discomfort but I won't show it. He is long gone from my life, why should he have that effect on me, right?

"Good morning Kelly. Long time. It's nice to see you." He greeted. Doesn't he know that I am his boss. Need to act tough.

"Good morning Mr. Tulley. I should remind you that this is office and you are expected to maintain professionalism." I said with stern tone. He looked disappointed but it was gone after a second from his face.

"Alright Miss Sparks. I won't do that again."

The rest of the elevator ride was silent. The door chimed and I went on my way and he on his.

Samantha left today in the morning. Mrs. Jennie will be me my assistant till Samantha is back. The shoot is today. It will take a few weeks to be fully prepared and out for launch. And also the preparations for anniversary is also to be done. I have a lot on my plate right now.

The shoot will start at 12 pm. I will meet Flynn at the studio directly. Also did I tell you that he is extremely, I don't know, umm..interesting now a days.

I mean the way the dresses, hairs perfectly combed, the way he walks as if he owns the place, nothing but confidence radiating from him, and also the way he keep his professionalism. God why is this happening. Also since when he ate at local restaurants? He was the one to dine at fine restaurants. Ughhhh!!

Also now a days I can't help but feel as if someone is following me and when I look back to check if someone is there, there's no one. Maybe I am hallucinating. I am feeling a lot these days.

I pulled into the parking of the studio's building. I noticed Flynn standing near his car talking to someone on his phone. And the way he is standing showcased his suit perfectly. The navy blue suit perfectly complimenting the blue Aston Martin. He has a good taste in cars I guess he learned that from me when we were still children. I was a car freak, still is.

Seeing me approaching after I parked my car, he cut his call. Seemed he was waiting for me. Quite a gentleman act, but I won't fall for it. He was on my tail while I was on my way to the elevator.

"Good morning Miss Sparks." I replied with a good morning. But his voice sounded a little disappointed. I looked at him, usually he had a smile or his face showed satisfaction, but today his face showed nothing. His face showed coldness. Woah that's new.

"I think we could use more models and can remove the glasses on that one model. It's making him look a little under confident. Don't you think Mr. Brandon?" Flynn said. He was serious about this. Brandon is the director. Brandon replied with a yes.

Its already 5 pm. We packed up for today. I have a dinner to attend at 7 pm. I have to go get ready. I said my goodbyes to everyone and went to leave.

As I approached the car I heard someone call my name. I turned to see Flynn coming towards me. Once he reached me he asked, "How are you, Kelly?"

Kelly, who gave him the permission to call me that.

"I think I made it clear that it is Miss Sparks for you." I couldn't help but ask.

"What I am about to ask involves you being Kelly not Miss Sparks?" What is he talking about?

"What do you want Mr. Aston?" I asked annoyed.

"Why did you hire Jackson?" I didn't see that coming.

"Why I hired Jackson is my business not yours." I said. How the hell can he ask something like that?

I could see he was surprised. His eyes darkened and he clenched his jaw. I could see pure rage in his eyes.

"He is not a good person Kelly." He said raising his voice a little. I was angry too now.

"OH really. The last I checked you were the one who left me. You fought with him and he was scared that if he will be with me another second he might get killed. You were the reason for everything Flynn." I couldn't help but pour my anger.

"I had my reasons Kelly." He said in a low tone.

"Is it? Everytime I talk about this with Samantha she said that you had your reasons. And now you are telling me that you had your reasons. So tell me the freaking reasons that my life turned upside-down." I asked raising my voice. What the fuck with the reasons.

"It's not the right time Kelly."

"Okay when the right time comes tell me then. And stop calling me Kelly. You are no one to me except my client." I saw sadness cross his face. But as soon as it came it went.

I opened the car and drive away. I could see him standing looking at me driving away.

What is wrong with him? I was more than annoyed and angry. And now I have a freaking dinner to attend that I don't want to attend. My day couldn't get any worse. First of meeting my ex then my ex best friend acting all protective as if he didn't flipped my life.

I am not in the mood to do anything now but still I got ready for the dinner with one of my old client.

After attending the dinner with the client I went to a bar. There I just sat with my thoughts and drank. I was not drunk but tipsy.

Later I just slumped down on my bed. The only good thing that happened with me this whole day was covering myself with the blanket.
