I know that you love me

JULIA'S POV

"Ok! Everyone to their seats! Let's begin the meeting", the director said, trying to get everyone's attention.

I turned to look at Melissa, then looked at Ken again. "Oh my! Why is he here?!", I voiced my previous thoughts.

"What do you mean?", Melissa asked. "Are you talking about that stranger over there?", she tilted her head slightly to his direction.

I quietly nodded at her, afraid to trust my mouth.

"What happened? Did you know each other?", Melissa whispered.

"It's a long story", I sighed, "But yeah, we knew each other"

"What happened then?" Melissa looked at me, with wide eyes, wanting to know what happened.

As I opened my mouth to tell her everything, "Hey! Melissa! Julia! Why are you both still standing there with the door opened?! Come in and close the door behind you!", the director literally shouted at the both of us.

We quickly moved out of the doorway, not wanting to hear Mr. Smith shout again. Melissa left me to close the door. I quickly closed the door and as I turned around to head to the table,

Ken fucking Roberts locked his eyes with mine.

I tried to look away, but I couldn't.

Fuck your perfect blue eyes fuckturd!

I felt a lot of hatred towards him at this moment.

How dare he show me his face again?!

But, after all what we've been through, why do I still want more of him?

I felt my heart pumping faster as it used to be as we kept our eyes locked.

What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I feeling like this? I should hate him! Not fall in love with him again!

My thoughts quickly disappeared as I heard a loud cry.

It was the director.

"Julia! What are you doing, standing there and dreaming?! Come back to work! We have a lot of topics in hand!", he shouted.

At that moment, I swore that I would rip his throat off! But I kept calm about it since he was my boss.

"Okay! I am sorry", I snapped and walked to sit on my seat.

As we finally came back to the subject of discussion, I kept on thinking about Ken and what we've been through. And at times, I'd feel his eyes staring at me, which excited me somehow.

The meeting went by quicker than I thought, as we only discussed boring topics.

As I started to pack everything inside my handbag, I heard a familiar voice, "I saw him eyeing you during the whole meeting. I think you've got yourself a devotee", Melissa whispered.

"Please, shut up", I muttered tiredly.

I haven't even talked to him and I'm already sick of him.

As I stood up, Melissa said, "Finally, you're done! Now you can tell me everything about him!"

I didn't want to argue with her and I didn't want to talk about him now, so, "Okay, let's meet up in Starbucks at four p.m., yeah? And then we could talk and discuss everything"

Melissa nodded happily.

When we started to head out of the conference room, the director's voice stopped me from walking further, "Julia! I have a task for you! I would like you to show our new teacher, Ken Roberts, around the school and make him meet everybody in the building!", he said quickly with a huge fake smile on his face.

"He's standing there, talking to Rita", he pointed.

I looked at where he pointed at and indeed he was talking to Rita.

As I opened my mouth to tell him my answer, he quickly said as he started to walk away, "Thanks! I knew I could count on you!"

I closed my mouth and sighed.

Not only I have to endure his sight at school, I have to show him around it!

I sighed for the umpteenth time this day.

My last thought for that moment was, let this day come to an end quickly!
