Loving him

Chapter 3

"Mom!!!" I shouted frantically while running down the stairs. I looked at my mother with panic written all over my face."Sweetie did something happen?" She asked me while tapping the seat next to her. I stepped closer and sat on the sofa, I laid my head back and closed my eyes."Ryan is coming over". I said as if it was the worst thing in the world."Well isn't it a good thing?" I opened my eyes and looked at my dearest mother, she cared so much for me yet i never told her about anything, unexpectedly I stared to feel bad. I just now realized that Ryan was definitely right about one thing. I wasn't only shutting him out also my mom and everyone else that cared for me.

"It's just that.... could you please tell him that I had to go somewhere, I really can't speak to him right now?" I asked in a pleading voice."Ohh Rose" my mother sighed "You actually better pray that he believes this" I was happy that my mother agreed but she was right he isn't stupid, what if he'll see right through the lie. "But after i get rid of him, you'll have some explaining to do young lady" I knew that was coming, well I wasn't going to lie to her telling the truth seemed to be the best option I really had to talk to someone and i knew she would understand me like no one else would.

After fifteen minutes I heard the sound of the doorbell echoing through the house. My heart started to beat unnaturally fast, I was ripped apart I couldn't talk to him right now but there was a piece of me that couldn't get over the thought of seeing him and being able to hear his alluring voice. "Annie I'm sure you don't mind if I check right? I have a feeling that she's still in there" oh no no no, what am I gonna do now ? God I'm dead if he comes into my room, he can't.

"Ry I told you she isn't home" my mom tried to reassure him but knowing Ryan he will still have to see himself if I really wasn't there. As I opened the door to my bathroom I've heard the doorknob turning I ran inside but there was no use into hiding since he was already in my room staring at me. I shuffled under his gaze and made my way to the edge of the bed. I sat down and waited for him to say something. "Have I ever done anything that hurt you?" He asked turning around not even sparing me a glance. "Why are you asking me this?" I was a little taken aback at his question I mean I don't remember a day that he wasn't nice to me. "Answer my question!" Wow I take that back he surely isn't being so nice at the moment. That's the first time he ever yelled at me. "No you never did" I was still interested as to why he asked me this question. "Correct I never did, but you still don't trust, sometimes I even think that you're scared of telling me what's bothering you. Why? Just tell me why?" He was so wrong. Me? Scared of him? Never, when I'm with him I feel like I'm in the safest place on the entire planet. But how does he not realize that?

"First of all I do trust you and how can you even think about me in fact being scared of you? There are just things that I'd rather keep to myself and I'm sorry for making you feel like I was shutting you out. I promise you that one day I will tell you." I said sincerely. He stood in the middle of my room still not looking at me. "Come here" he suddenly said and gave me a genuine smile. I stood up and felt my knees getting weaker as I got closer to him. Then he pulled me in his arms and held me close to him. I hesitantly encircled my arms around him and placed my head on his chest.

The next morning I was feeling slightly better after my encounter with Ryan. I still had to talk with my mother though, but I'll worry about it when I'm back from work as for now I have to hurry since 'Sir Martinez' doesn't like tardiness.

At 9 o'clock I stepped inside the building, I've greeted everyone and made my way to the lift, I pressed on number 12 and waited till the doors opened. Already seated in my office I looked through some papers that laid on my desk then a sudden knock on my door stopped me from what I was doing. The door opened and Martinez stepped inside. Why knocking if he doesn't even wait for a response pff I sighed and looked at my boss. "Is there anything I can do for you Sir?" He sat across from me and placed a red envelope on my desk. "It's an invitation to a charity ball" I looked questioningly at the envelope then fixated my gaze back to him. "I would like you to come with me" what?! Me? "Can I ask why?" I asked with obvious curiosity in my voice. "Well its simple you're my assistant and I need you to help me with some things" some things he says hmm interesting. I obviously agreed to his invitation in the end he was my boss and i couldn't risk losing my job.

After a long day, I came home and laid on the sofa. I didn't realize that I was so tired but before I had the time to fall into a deep sleep I've heard my mothers voice from the kitchen. I stood up and made my way through the hall. "Yes mom?" I still acted as if I didn't know what she meant, but I knew that sooner or later I would have to tell her. "Rose don't play dumb with me you know very good why I called you." Uff okay I can do this right? I surely can, while I tried to convince myself that it isn't a big deal in the corner of my eye i could see my mothers impatient expression. "Well this will be a long story so prepare yourself..."
