My Nemesis

Chapter 11

Truth sucks. As it is being now.

I've been sitting with my thoughts for I don't know how many hours, and still I cannot process the things that I've been told.

How could Jackson do that?

And now I've realized that he was an asshole. Now I have clarity. I am familiar with THE REASON.

I understand what Flynn did and why he did that. But still there is one question that is in my mind.

Why 6 years later? Why not any time before? Why now? Now that company's 40th anniversary is going to commence.

I need the answer to my question.

Drinking wine while playing with your thoughts in the middle of the night is probably one of the most logical things I believe.

And just as you are enjoying your wine your sister decides to sit beside you. Way to ruin the mood.

Oh said bad about my sister. Maybe I am a little tipsy.

"You okay?" She asked. Am I?

"You got to know that the man you loved with all your heart cheated on you which caused to break your friendship with your best friend. And you get to know the truth 6 years later. Yeah I'm totally okay." It's definitely the alcohol.

I looked at Samantha and could tell that she was strugglingto find the words, "I think you should go and sleep. You have a ton of work to do tomorrow. Anniversary is round the corner." She said and I noded.

I went to my room and laid on the bed.

Hope I get some sleep.

Next day

I feel like a truck hit me. I tried to sleep but I couldn't get any. And now I have to deal with a bunch of things.

Ahhh this is going to be a long day.

Continuing with my regular schedule I left for office. Not in the mood of breakfast. Arriving at the office I reviewed the progress of the Aston's project.

Later I called Samantha to discuss the arrangements for the anniversary.

"The venue has been booked, the list of guests has been made and the catering service has been arranged. I've contacted the decorators as well. The flowers that you've asked are out of stock at almost every flower shop." Samantha informed.

"Okay. I'll see about the flowers. You check the guest list again and email it to me. Arrange a meeting with a few creative minds of our company. It'll be good to take different opinions." I gave her the work.

After a few hours of discussing the decorations and everything I am finally free.

Right now I am sitting at the cafeteria eating my third sandwich. I am really hungry. Just as I was going to take a bite my phone ringed.

It was Brandon.

"Hey Brandon. How's everything going?"

"Hi Kelly. Everything's fine. I need you here at the studio. The ad for the Aston Fashions is done. You need come and review it and tell if changes are needed. I'd appreciate if you can come right now." Brandon said.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes."

"OK I'll inform Mr. Aston as well. See you."

"Yeah. Bye." I hung up the call. In dilemma if I should finish my sandwich fast or should leave it. After a lot of thinking I decided to leave. I'll see you later my sandwich.

I then informed Samantha about my departure and made it to the studio. Parked my car and went inside. Met with Brnadon, waiting for Mr. Aston to arrive. After a few minutes he came in looking classy. Why do I have to say that? Oh God. It's going to be long.

After reviewing the ad I called Samantha to ask if she has found the flowers. Unfortunately she did not. I decided to ask Brandon for help. He'll help me.

"Hey Brandon can I ask for a favor?" I asked him. He said yes.

"The company's anniversary is in a few days. Everything is arranged but we cannot find the flowers which we need for the decorations. Could you please help me out with it?"

"Yeah sure. I'll see what I can do." He replied. I just wish that this work gets done on time.

"I can help if you want." Flynn said appearing from behind. I turned towards him and he continued, "I know a friend. She is a florist. She can arrange it for you."

I thought for a while thinking if I should take his help or not.

Brandon jumped into the conversation, "Yes that will be alright. You can go with him. See if it works out."

I agreed to him. Flynn and me started to make our way to our cars. I sat inside mine and started to start the car. After trying a lot to ignite the engine and failing miserably at it, I climbed out of the car.

Flynn came out of his car looking at me and said, "Why don't you ride with me? After all we have the same destination." He said with hope lingering in his eyes.

"No thank you. Tell me the address. I'll hail a cab." I said and his eyes showed sadness, but as soon as it came it went. Yes I know I am being a bitch. He then came towards me.

"Please I insist." He said locking me between the car and his body. I have nowhere to go. I sighed and agreed to ride with him.

He ignited the engine and started driving. I asked where are we going. To that he replied, "To The Frida's. She is my friend. I am sure she will help me."

When he said "his friend" I couldn't help but feel a sad maybe. I cannot put a finger to it.

"So your friend is she old and have a lot of time so she sell flowers?" I asked unsure of why I did.

A chuckle escaped his lips and he said, "No she is not old. She is 24. She sell flowers because she likes the job. I first met her at her flower shop. After that we became friends. She is nice." His eyes looked happy when he told about her. Must be a special friend.

The whole ride I stayed quite. And a few minutes later he pulled in front of a shop. It was decorated with flowers. All types of flowers kept in a proper order. The place was filled with scent and it was nice.

We went inside and a women with dark brown hair, perfect face and black eyes greeted us. Her eyes lit up when she saw Flynn. He too had a smile on his face. She hugged him and exclaimed, "Hey Flynn. How are you? It's been long." I felt jealous. I mean I am standing here too.

"Hi Frida. I am good." Her eyes then scanned me and she asked, "Won't you introduce this lady to me?"

"Oh right. Frida this is Miss Kelly Sparks. Miss Sparks this is Frida, owner of this shop." He introduced us. And we shared handshakes.

Later on I discussed about flower arrangements that has to be done. Luckily Frida had the flowers that we needed. I thanked her and went out of the shop.

Flynn was driving me back to the company. I wanted to ask him about the questions that were swirling in my brain. The car was filled with silence and I decided to break it.

I looked at him and asked, "Would you please stop at the coffee shop?"

He looked at me with surprise and noded in response. He parked the car and we both then went inside. We both sat and ordered the coffee. He was looking out of the window while sipping his coffee.

"Why now?" He looked at me.

"Why 6 years later Flynn?"
