《For-Getting You》Chapter 25. Jealous
Advertisement
I was engrossed in my thoughts that how I will say sorry to her, will she forgive me or not, will she come back, will she give me another chance and so on, I huffed in annoyance.
I closed my eyes when I heard the same melodious voice I love, it's her, I turn around and she is indeed standing right in front of me smiling, she is not mad at me, I was so overwhelmed by seeing her that I forgot everything, about where we are, what she'll think, I just ran towards her and took her in my arms, I'm not dreaming she is real, she feels so good, After so long I'm feeling peaceful, my heart is beating, all these feelings I'm having from holding her in my arms are just so soothing, it seems like she is an angel and she is bringing my soul to life.
Her small figure, her breath, her skin, her smell everything is mine, this is where I belong to, this is where she belong to and she is mine,
Apologizing was not that difficult as I thought it would be, and even she also apologized for thinking me wrong, she is so sweet, she is really an angel my angel.
"So everything is clear now" she said as I broke the hug, she straightened up a bit "Now we are good so let's start from the beginning" she smiled at me,
I looked at her confused, she look gorgeous when she is smiling, I always wants to see her like this, though I'm the one who usually hurt her but still I'm doing all this for her own good.
"I mean let's introduce ourself first OK" she said moving her head, as she puts her hand out "I'm Keira Peers"
I took her soft hand in mine "Nice to meet you again Miss. Peers, I'm Troy Adams" I said taking her hand to my lips, kissing her knuckles softly,
Blush is clear on her beautiful face, I can spend a whole life looking at her like this.
"Thank You" she said, looking somewhere else her eyes not meeting mine because of shyness she bite on her lower lip "Before I start working here I have something for you"
I gave her a questioning look,
She unzip her bag and bring out an coffee mug, "Coffee" she beamed happily and her eyes shines,
"I.. Thank You, you have no idea how much I have been missing this" I took it from her hand and opening it, I took a sip of it, it's perfect "Perfect thank you again, I'm always in a bad mood and the bad coffees were fueling it more they were making it worse thank you" she thinks so much for me.
"You don't have to I'm your secretary Mr. Adams and it's a part of my job" she teases,
"Yeah, and trust me you are great in it" unknowingly my lips curled up in a light smile, wait what am I smiling,
I looked at her and she is smiling with her eyes shining like stars seeing me smiling.
"Can I go and see my office if you don't mind" she asked me,
"It's waiting for you" she goes and I follow her,
As she opens the door Jake is already there looking through files,
"Hey" he said looking her, I hate how he looks at her, I know she don't notice it but he is always eyeing her up ashamedly and I hate it,
I was so busy with my thoughts that I didn't hear what they are talking about, maybe she was telling him about that she is innocent.

"Really I always knew that you are innocent, I'm so happy that you are back" I was right,
He hugged her in excitement and I can see her gasped, I clutch on the door knob, while my other hand clenched in fist ready to hit him, I'm feeling an ache of jealousy in my heart seeing her in someone else arms,
I clear my throat and he let's go of her,
"So I'll see you tomorrow, I have to go and meet Erik and Mary" nodding at me she leaves.
I glare at Jake and he gulp in fear leaving as well.
I get in my office and sat on my chair, I sigh, again I'm feeling the same things, I felt seven years ago, the same worries, the same warmth, the same excitement, the same care, the same peace, the same happiness, the same love.. Keira what are doing to me..
"Yeah even I can't believe it but it's true" I beamed in joy telling Mary everything,
"I'm glad that Troy is trying to change finally" Mary, replied putting her hand on Erik's hand to get his attention, he seems lost.
"Erik are you alright?" I'm concerned,
"Yeah, I'm.. I was just thinking that you have came like an angel in his life, I hope that you'll bring out the old Troy" Erik smiles,
"I would try my best but.." they both looked at me "I think it would be better if you'll tell me about his past"
Hearing my words their faces turned pale, and they look worried, "It's.." before Mary could complete it Erik stopped her in middle,
"It's not our place to tell you, I'm sorry Keira" he said looking down in shame,
"It's alright, come on let's order a nice dessert" I really don't want to exploit my perfect day, if they don't want to tell me it's fine sooner or later I'll find out what is his past, I just hope that he won't turn out to be an vampire or mafia..
I woke enthusiastically today, after all after so many days I'll be working with him again, I get up from the bed, after doing my job, I start looking for nice outfit, "Hmm.. I think this will be good" I chose an navy colored jumpsuit with matching color heels along with golden hoop earrings and my watch, after applying a bit if mascara, I opted nude mate lip color, perfect I look perfect.
I reached my office and everyone knows that I'm back again, I heard some of them gossiping saying that, I gave him what he wanted and that's why he appointed me again, these gossips doesn't bother me much, they all are speaking behind my back if any of them tried to speak shit about me on my face or if I found them speaking about it I'll break their faces, I'm not scared.
"Good Morning" I said making my way in his room,
"Morning Keira, the Morning is indeed good" he smiled,
"Your coffee" he took the cup from my hand our fingers touched, he looked at me with a expressionless face but in can tell he is thinking, his eyes are so beautiful, deep blue whenever I look in them I'm lost in them.
"Thank You" he said looking all embarrassed, he looks so cute when he is embarrassed,
"No need" I said turning on my heels,
"So I'll be coming to pick you up at 7 on Friday" hearing him saying this I stop on the spot, I turn around to face him,
I didn't realise when he got up from his chair and now was standing in front of me, he is standing so close and my head hit his chest slightly.

"You are free on Friday right?" he said in his deep voice giving me shivers down my spine.
I'm not able to understand his first question and he asked second, I really don't know what he is asking about and Is he really asking for a date, if he is then these are just the Bestest days,
"I.. for.. what?" can't you just ask it properly, without shuddering and all.
"You have no idea?" he said in almost a whisper, with arching an eyebrow teasingly,
I just look at him confused,
"You and me" he said in my ear,
"You and I.." I murmured,
"I'll be taking you on.." his hot breath fanning my ear and my neck,
"On?" I gulp,
"Business dinner" saying in my ear he steps back,
What! Business dinner and I thought, I glare at him and he is looking at me with an amused expression leaning on the corner of his table,
"You don't look happy, I thought you'll be happy but you look kinda shocked don't you wanna go on a business dinner with me?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
Oh so he is teasing me, he is always teasing me he loves it but today I'll do the same,
"No I'm happy.. I'm very happy" I said folding my arms over my chest, "It's just I don't think so I'm free on Friday" I pout innocently.
"Why?" his smirk is gone now, well you are one who started it.
"I'm thinking to go out with someone"
"With whom?" he asked his face back to his usual arrogant one, "That bartender" he said harshly.
He is jealous he looks so cute getting jealous, though I'm not a big fan of this certain emotion but when you are dealing with a guy like him who hides every emotion and never express himself then even jealousy is a good start maybe by this he'll speak out about his feelings for me,
"You are still thinking to go out with him after the thing he did" he said "Oh yeah I forgot he is your boyfriend"
Though I'm enjoying it but I really have to give him a piece of mind.
"He is not my boyfriend, he just said that because an drunk men was trying on me and to shove him off he said that, even I met him for the first time there, and he is innocent he didn't drug me" I don't want him to go and punch him so it's better if he knows the truth.
"He said it and you believed him" he huffed,
"Yup I did as I know he was not lying" I replied,
"And how do you know that he is not lying" he spoke with clenched teeth,
"Because he" he interrupted me,
"He said it" he said "How can you see the honesty in him"
"He apologized for nothing and he was being sincere, and one can tell by looking at the person if he is lying or not, you can tell what they think and feel" I said looking in his eyes,
"So you can tell what a person feels, then tell me what I feel, what I'm feeling" he says standing in front of me with a his beautiful eyes looking right into mine,
"You are lost" hearing my words his face softens "you are hiding your emotions, you are confused, you are afraid of something, but you wanna move on, you want to tell about your emotions to someone" he needs to know that I understand him and I want to help him.
"You have no idea what, you have no idea what I have been through, how I feel it's not just these but there are many more things that you don't know about" he said in sad voice.
"Then enlighten me I want to know about it" I replied,
"I can't.. I just can't" he said cupping my face in his hands,
Why, he can't just say it, why he don't want to tell me, I'm doing so many things for him, Its like I'm knocking at the door of his heart continuously but he just never opens the doors for me.
"Have a nice day Mr. Adams" saying I leave his room.
The rest of the day went nicely, I just don't understand what, should I do to make him confess his feelings, now I'm sure he do feel the same about me, he confessed that he love me that night we kissed, then why he can't say that again, I wish I could say it to him but just think will it look good if I'll go to him and say "Hey Troy I love you, and I know you also have the same feelings in your heart remember we kissed" I sigh, it sounds bad because I know he'll just say that he don't love me, and I don't want that I will make sure to make him realise about his love for me.
"Are you done thinking" startled from his voice I looked up,
"Yeah.. I'm no.." what I'm saying,
"It's alright, I'm leaving and be ready on Friday cancel all other plans of yours, and bring that file from my office and study it for tomorrow's meeting" he sounds cold "Is that clear?" he asked arching an eyebrow.
"Yes Mr. Adams" I replied in an tired voice, he left my room, I huffed and look at the watch, I still have two hours, though I'm tired but still I'm happy to be back, I made my way in his cabin for the file, "Look here The Mr. Troy Adams thinks he know everything keeping his head straight, but can't even take care of his wallet Mr. Arrogant" I said to myself while picking up his wallet from table,
Just put it here Keira he'll find it tomorrow, but what if someone else found it, already someone is trying harm our company and I'm sure he or she works here with us in our company and we have no idea who he or she is, someone can misuse it maybe I should go his house and give it to him, yeah that's good while going home I will stop to his place and will hand him this, this is good.
"You are lost, you are hiding your emotions, you are confused, you are afraid of something but you wanna move on, you want to tell about your emotions to someone" her words are still echoing in my ears, how can she look inside of me, she said exactly what I'm feeling..
Yes I'm lost because I have lost my destination, I'm confused because my half heart is in past and half beats in present, I'm scared because I don't want to see life dying again, and yes I want to move on but I can't, and I want to tell about my emotions to her but I can't..
I gulp down the whiskey and open another bottle, I'm not able to pour it in glass and the glass falls from my bar counter, I pick up the whole bottle and walked to sit in my living room, I sit on floor drinking it,
I close my eyes and I still her smiling in my arms and me holding her kissing her temple, Oh God why I can't just forget her, she left me alone seven years ago but why I'm still fighting with shadows of my past to live, why I can't just forget her, forget everything that happened, why..
In anger and annoyance I smashed the bottle on my hand, and blood starts to come out of it, this blood also reminds me of her, please leave me, leave me..
I hope he is at home and I hope not sleeping, just calm down you just have to hand him his wallet and then leave, it's easy it's good,
I ring his bell but he didn't open the door, maybe he is not at home, I should leave, or I should check, let's check,
He wants thief to come I guess he always leaves his door open, I slowly opened the door and made my way inside his house, I look around to but the scene in living room left me petrified, Troy sitting on floor with his bleeding hand and pieces of shattered glasses around him, but he is not moving not even hissing in pain but he is just looking at his bleeding hand blankly, it seems as if he is liking to see himself like this in pain,
"Mr. Adams, are you alright" I run toward him not caring if those glasses can hurt me, but he keeps on looking at his hand, I cupped his face in my palmed making him to look at me,
At first he seemed lost, then looking into my eyes he came back normal,
"You.. You.. came.. back.." saying he hugged me tightly, and starts crying holding me tightly as if he is scared if he'll let me go I'll disappear,
I hugged him back stroking his stiff muscular back to calm him down,
"Yeah.. I'm here, don't worry Mr. Adams" I said,
Now I realize that he is not what I think him arrogant and cold but he is broken and troubled, I realise that he is so much in pain but he hides it in his anger, and I have to help him, I have to heal all his wounds, I will never leave him, I will always be here with him to protect him from all his sorrows, I will fill his emptiness with my love.
