Can he keep his promise?

Tears and then everything was perfect

VANESSA POV:

The cab drive home was the longest ride that I had ever been in. It had been pathetic but once the cab stopped in front of Thierry’s house; I had run straight to Thierry’s room without talking to April or Mike who were in the lounge room watching a movie and locked myself in Thierry’s room. I was now sitting on the floor of Thierry’s walk in robe and had my clothes all over the floor with my suitcase opened in the middle.

I had already filled over half of my bag when someone spoke to me through the locked bedroom door, “Vanessa?”

“Go away!” I shouted through tears.

"Open the door Vanessa,” said Thierry calmly.

“NO!” I screamed.

I stopped packing my bag and held my head in my hands and cried.

“Why would you want a useless woman?!” I half screamed at Thierry.

“I’m so sorry, babe. Now open the door and we can talk,” he said calmly.

“Go away!” I shouted again.

I took my head out of my hands and started to pack my bag again.

There was a loud thud and then Thierry was grabbing my wrists in a hard grip. I tried to fight him off but he just gripped my wrists harder. Then Michael had his arms around my waist and was making sure that I didn’t move. I finally gave up on fighting with them and turned my head to my right because Thierry was on my left holding my wrists and Michael was holding me from behind.

“You’re not going anywhere!” said Michael in my ear.

“Let go of me!” I squirmed in their grip.

“Let us talk to you first and we’ll let you go afterward,” said Thierry very calmly.

“Why would you wanna talk to someone who’s an idiot, is stupid and is useless?!” I screamed at them.

Thierry held my wrists in one hand and grabbed my chin in a very strong grip. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

Thierry sighed, “I never thought that, I was angry and it just all came out for no reason. I don’t think that you’re stupid or useless much less an idiot…”

“How do I know that you’re not lying to me?” I asked.

Thierry had loosened his grip on wrists and held them lightly. Michael had nearly no grip on me but was still there.

“I’ll leave you guys for a minute, alright?” said Michael.

Then he was gone and I heard the door shut.

Thierry grabbed my waist and held me in his lap; my chest was against his again.

“I would never lie to you, Vanessa,” he said, “You are the most beautiful, caring, special and sweetest girl that was ever born…”

“Promise?” I whispered into his chest.

“I promise,” he said.

Then he just rocked me back and forth in his walk in robe. Soon I fell asleep in his arms.

When I woke up, it was past 9am. I sat up and looked around the room. I was alone until the bathroom door opened and Thierry walked towards me. He had a towel wrapped around his waist with wet hair. He sat on the edge of the bed and touched my face.

“I have to go to work today again but only for a few hours I promise. Do you wanna come with me?” he asked.

“Only if you come and check on me,” I said.

“Agreed,” he bending down a kissing my forehead.

As I sat in the spare office on the computer, I sighed and turned my attention to the computer. I opened the internet and went into my email. I had several emails but left them and got ready for what I had planned to do. This email would change the rest of my life…however long that was.

THIERRY POV:

Michael knocked on my office door then entered. I looked up as he came in.

“You wanted to see me?” he said.

I stood up from my chair and stood a few metres away from him.

“How’s Vanessa doing?” he asked.

“She’s still here which is a good sign,” I admitted.

He nodded then looked out to the city.

“We have a work party in a week and I want all of our clients and workers there. They can bring one partner there. Can you handle all of this?” I asked.

He nodded once, “What’s the party for exactly?”

“To show gratitude to our clients for their trust and to congratulate the workers,” I said now looking at him, “Can you handle this?” I asked again.

“Yes,” he replied. “Vanessa’s waiting for you in the spare office,” he told me.

I nodded and left the room after he did.

I walked down the hall and to the spare office. When I opened the door I saw that Vanessa was sitting, curled up on the white couch. I noticed that she didn’t take notice of me as I entered; she was thinking about how much she was going to miss her work. I ran to her alarmed and held her in my arms.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her.

She met my eyes and said, “Nothing.”

“Don’t lie to me. What’s wrong?” I demanded.

“I just sent in my resignation form to my work,” she told me.

“WHAT?! Have you lost your mind?!” I yelled.

“I don’t care Thierry. I have you and that’s all I want,” she said.

“But you love your work!” I said.

”I love you more,” she whispered.

I shook my head at her; she looked down at the ground. I wrapped my arms around her and she snuggled into me. I sighed and kissed her hair.

“I love you Thierry,” she said.

“I love you too,” I replied.

Then I bent down and kissed her lips.

VANESSA POV:

I don’t know what happened inside of me but suddenly I was taking off his work jacket and shirt. Then he was taking off my blue blouse. There we were; half naked in spare office. It wasn’t long until we had no pants on too. Then Thierry was lying on top of me on the couch. And everything was perfect.
