He's My Ruthless Billionaire

Chap. 17

Stella Parlor

My thoughts were jumbled. What was I doing? Should I be sitting in this vehicle going to seek out a man who was willing to push himself into a plump of devastation. The world didn't work in our favors at times but that was just how the society was programmed and we have to live with it.

I loved him. Maybe that was one. I wanted to see him. Maybe that was two. I missed him. Maybe that was three. Gosh, I just didn't know anymore. My love life was a disaster. You know the typical love story, would be Errin coming to rescue me? What a twisted irony of a story we are creating.

"Kane! Stop the van!" I shouted. Immediately the van stopped and they all looked at me. I didn't want this. Did I really want this? Why was a woman so indecisive? I should have been a man, my decisions would be less complicated.

"Stella," Leon sounded cautious.

"I don't think I can do this guys..." I trailed looking amongst the three males staring at me.

I believed anxiety was getting the best of me. I was starting to feel claustrophobic and nauseous. "She needs fresh air," George told them, "Alright, let me take her outside. We'll be right back," I heard Leon stating before he pulled me out of my seat.

We were standing outside in the cool air while Kane and George awaited. "I just do-on-nt th," but Leon stopped my fumbling.

"When people are in love Stella, they don't think," he looked at me thoroughly, "they feel and act and after the deed is done, they are happy even if it cost them their pride."

I sighed and sat down on the concrete pavement of the sidewalk sulking, "What do you know? Have you ever felt anything for anyone before?"

He smiled before sitting beside of me, "Stella, I'm not made of iron. I'm not programmed with no humanity. I'm fragile, a really fragile man..." he smiled, "and so is Errin, trust me I know how it feels to love someone because I am in love with someone but she doesn't know it yet. I don't want to act irrational and cause her any pain, I wanna take my time and make her mine. So yes Stella, I have felt for someone before because I've been in love and I still am."

I smiled, "I trust that this female is Lauren."

He blushed hard and I laughed, "I've seen the way you look at her and something tells me, maybe she likes you too."

He smiled, "I'll keep that in mind."

"I miss him Lee." I cracked, "...so much" I started crying. He hugged me, "I know, I know and he misses you too."

I sighed. Errin Blake, you'll be the death of me. For five years I've been taking care of your ass and even after you fired me, I was still caring for you. I laughed to myself, damn this passion.

"All I'm saying is Stella, if love doesn't hurt and causes hard times and work then you're just infatuated, it isn't love at all."

I giggled, "It's far too complicated."

He nodded, "So complicated..."
