Jane's pov
Erin was behaving like a deer caught in headlights.i was still talking continuously .Erin grabbed my hand.
"what is it?"I asked
she just nodded her head like a mad woman."what has gotten into you?"
she whispered,"lets talk later".
I didn't talk anymore.i just got pissed at her.she listened to me at all times.
we went straight to the conference hall.It was a large, spacious hall with a huge mahagony table in center of it.people were coming in one by one as there was still time.Erin and I were seated around middle.Erin tried to talk to me several times.i just outright ignored her.But atlast I yield."Don't you remember them?.the two men we saw in the elevator"
I didn't even see them."who are you talking about?"
Erin just laughed mocking me,"this is why you shouldn't drink.they were with Harry at the pub when you we--"
Erin wasn't able to complete her words.Joseph entered with three men to the room so the meeting started.That is the moment when I saw them, especially him.The black suit didn't do any justice.His body was built like carving.He was so tall and handsome as hell.His tan complexion makes it more sexy.His hair black as night was styled to perfection.those high cheekbones and sharp jaws can cut thin air.the most striking thing about him is his eyes.The chocolate brown felt like a magnet.
Erin pinched me.That's when I remembered that I was not this person.i neither flirt nor checking out is my field.i averted my eyes.i saw two more men who resembles him a bit.i concluded them as his brothers.the presentation begun.i was still thinking about his eyes when everything went off in my head.
Last night*
I was standing in the hallway of the pub.i remember Erin telling me not to move till she comes back.i was struggling to stand on my own.i wanted to cry so badly but I didn't.i took one more drink from the passing by waiter.i stumbled and the glass fell from my hands.i was going to fall over the shards when someone caught me.
it was the familiar amber eyes that greeted me.Harry Wilson,my best friend.Our friendship ended because of his foolishness.He put his hands around my shoulders to steady me.worry and concern decorated his eyes."Are you alone?".I didn't answer him.his patience was thinning by second."sure, don't answer me.i will call James".I just scoffed at that."Do you remember what happened today seven years ago".now he didn't answer me.i pushed him away ."why didn't you just tell me??I could have seen him a last time".
his eyes were filled with tears but he didn't answer me.he looked like he was on the verge of crying.
"forget it"
I walked past him and my vision was getting blurry with tears and because I was more than drunk.i stumbled and before I fell over the glass,a pair of hands engulfed me.the same hypnotising brown colour eyes that seemed to look into my soul.everything seemed to stop around us.it felt like my heart got its rythm back after a long time.i gently pushed him back and straightened myself.i walked towards the exit.Harry blocked my way and took hold of my shoulders again.
"we can fight all night long but I won't leave you alone drunk".I was getting irritated at his stubborn nature ."you jerk,you want to fight.okay,let's fight.why didn't you tell me,just answer this.please,I didn't want to lose you too.but you betrayed me"
He was trying to control himself but his last thread broke when I said it"your mother made me do it.i am sorry.i shouldn't have listened to her reasons.i should have protected you from her"I completely thought I was losing my mind.i wanted to burn the whole world.i grabbed his collar."why didn't you tell me?.when I hated you, everything....you should have told me".
Before he can answer anything,I blacked out into sleep where I was still a girl who had the chance to sleep in her father's arms.My phone was vibrating continuously pulling me to reality.That's when embarassment took hold of me.i knew my neck and cheeks were blazing red.The drunken performance I did played like a broken record in my brain.The person who held me in his arms hid a smile in his lips which made me squirm under his gaze.The promises his eyes held made me dizzy.
