Broken without you

FOUR

Vanessa gets to work, fuming. She go straight to her office and slumped down on her chair. What was wrong with her? The door opens and Daniel walks in.

"Good morning, Miss Hilton. How are you feeling?"

"I feel terrible." she replies dryly.

"Do you want drugs, painkillers or just water? Do you need a massage?"

"Am fine Daniel, am sure I'll be okay in a few minutes."

"Alright, here's your schedule for today." he said, handing her another sheet of paper.

"Thanks, Daniel."

The door opens again and Natasha walked in stylishly.

"Hey girl, what's up with you?" she asks as she sits on one of the chairs.

"Am not good. Daniel, you can leave."

Daniel nods and leaves the office. When she was sure they were finally alone, Vanessa told Natasha everything that happened last night and also in the morning. Natasha burst into laughter.

"You mean you said all those nasty things to him?" Natasha asks, still not believing Vanessa's story.

She nodded in response and added. "I think I was a bit too harsh on him."

"No no, Nessa, you said it well. He deserves to know his place." Natasha said, holding her hands tightly. "Okay?"

Vanessa nods again. "Okay."

*****

Jason is waiting patiently outside the Hilton's company. Holding a bouquet of flowers and an apology later. Few minutes later, Vanessa and Natasha walks out of the building towards where Vanessa's car was parked.

" Vanessa!!" Jason yells her name.

Both women turn around to see Jason walking towards them. They both roll their eyes.

"Oh please, not again." Natasha grumbles.

When Jason reached to them, he stretched out the bouquet of flowers to Vanessa.

"Nessa, I am so sorry about what I said to you earlier. I didn't mean whatever I said to you."

Vanessa scoffs. "Are you deaf or something? I said keep your sorry broke ass away from - -"

Her words were interrupted when Jason placed his lips on hers, shutting her up automatically. Natasha's eyes widened in shock as she watched the scene displayed in front of her.

It took a few moments for Vanessa to push Jason away and lands a hot slap on his cheek. Both Jason and Natasha were shocked, with Natasha being double shocked.

"Are you crazy? Stop acting like a hormonal teenager." she turns around and enter the car, followed by Natasha.

Jason just stood there, rubbing his cheeks as the car drove out of sight.

Walking home, he threw the bouquet of flowers on the floor and stomped his feet on it. Getting home, he saw Olivia at his doorstep.

"You look cold." he said to her.

"You look rejected." she said back to him.

She examined his face and saw the red fingerprint on his cheek. "You got slapped? How could you let her slap you?" she flares up in anger. She lifts up his face and turns it sideways to get a better look.

"It's alright, Vy. It's not like I haven't been slapped before." he tries to remove her hands from his face.

"It needs ice or it's gonna swell by tomorrow morning." Olivia say.

"I can do it myself." he decline her unspoken offer.

Olivia rolls her eyes and said. "Suite yourself. I'll be leaving now."

Jason nods in response.
