BACK INTO HIS ARMS

CHAPTER 2

TONS of emotion rush out of my body the moment i saw my client. Anger, Sadness, Confusion, Hatred and many more. I fight back my tears. I don’t want to look weak infront of my client, infront of my ex, infront of Jacob.

I tried to act normal, just so he would know that he hadn’t affect me. I cleared my throat. “Shall we start, Mr. Elizalde?” I ask him as i seat infront of him.

“Why don’t we order coffee first?” he suggested but i shook my head and fake my smile. “No need, mr. Elizalde i wasn’t here to have coffee in the first place” I answered and he just nod.

“Anyway, do you have any plans for the upcoming event?” I inquire as i get my notebook and pen from my small bag.

“No, we don’t have” He answered. As he look at me with those piercing silver eyes. “Then would you like to look at some places we recommend?”

I opened my iPad and didn’t bother to look at him.

“Sure, that’ll help” I gave him my iPad but my heart beats fast with sudden contact of our fingers the time when he get the iPad through my hands. I bowed my head when i feel my cheeks burning, i just hope he didn’t notice it and didn’t do that on purpose.

JACOB smirks when he saw how you blushed with your sudden contact. He couldn’t focus at the iPad because he was busy looking at your face which he found.... cute.

He just shook his head to clear the thoughts away. He shouldn’t think about her‚ afterall he was getting married.

He just distract his self by looking at the venue where him and Sierra’s engagement party should held. I should only look at Sierra, not to anyone, not even her.

“SO have you choose a venue, mr. Elizalde?” he didn’t know why but he felt his heart sank. Her amber orbs stare at her. Jacob trying to read her emotion but celestine was too good at hiding her emotions.

“I do” he gave her the iPad. “I want this one” he mumbled.

“Ok” Celestine shortly replied. “Do you perhaps had any design on your mind?”

Jacob nodded. “Just make it simple, i want white cream design, round tables good for 100-150 guests maybe and a white LED lights, i’ll send the full details on the email”

Celestine nod while taking down notes. “Okay, for further designs please contact us, next time we’ll talk about the food and drinks” she answer without looking at him.

“Anyway, stop with engagement stuff tell me what happened after i left”

“TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED AFTER I LEFT” I raise my eyebrow and slowly look at him.

“why to?” i simply ask.

“come on, we’re still friends right?” my forehead irk. friends? the f**k is he talking about.

I stand up. “As far as i know we aren’t friends mr. Elizalde or should i say Jacob stop bullsh*tting me what happened between us was done, and i don’t have plans to recall it please get your act done, we’re just teens back then, people grow, people change, so i am. You’re my client and you should act one, learn to know your boundaries mr. Elizalde” I saw him open his mouth but no words came out of him. He just look at me, and i must say he look... sad.

I just cleared my thoughts and look at my wrist watch. “It’s about time, i have to go thankyou for your time mr. Elizalde if there anything happens please let me know and i’ll do the same” i slightly bowed my head and stroll off.

As i enter to my car, i immediately let my head to bow down at my steering wheel. Tears came out of my eyes, rushing. I haven’t feel this emotion for years or maybe decades. She thought.

I didn’t know where did that came from. Yes i do happy to hear him that he want to know what happened to my life after he left but there’s no reason for him to do that‚ he shouldn’t even ask me that for the first place since he was engage and i was the one that assigned to take care of it.

The emotion she was holding back a while ago, burst out. And she didn’t care. It was too much to handle. She didn’t even know how did she manage to not cry infront of her. And she even manage to talk back at him.

What the hell tine, get over it. she mentally told herself, yet she can’t calm herself down. It was... frustrating.

AFTER a while of crying, she fixed herself. I need to get this sh*t done, i wouldn’t want to link with him, not this time, not again.

Celestine drove back to their shop only to see the girls, seating at the sofa, waiting for her arrival. “How’s the meet? Is the guy handsome? How old is he? Is he fun to talk—stop it, arya” She cut her off. Not wanting to hear what she was going to say.

“Wait... Did you cry?” Lei asks as she noticed how puffy celestine’s eye was. Once they heard it, they also noticed it.

“What happened? Are you okay?” sandy inquire with worried tone.

She just smiled at them. “I’m fine, its just that...” she was hesitant to say what happened about the meeting but soon after she decides to tell them. “i saw someone unexpected” she murmured.

“Oh my god! who was it!?” Arya exclaimed.

“Elizalde” Celestine stated. “Ofcourse he was the one who you are meet—Jacob Elizalde” their jaw drop, their eyes widened the moment she cut off sandy’s words just to replace by his ex’s name.

“What the hell?” Lei fumed. Ofcourse it was unexpected, you also aren’t expecting to see your ex.

“Then what happened?” sandy inquired after she get her sh*t done.

“He was our client, my client to be exact it was a bit awkward yet i maintain my professional posture and talk like some businesswoman. Everything goes smoothly not until” She bit her lips. “Not until what?” They said in unison, they leaned forward as if they were really listening. “Not until he ask me what happened to my life after he left”

Their nose crinkled. “What the actual f*ck?!” Lei stand up. “How dare him ask you that question, Is he d*mb?!” She angrily shouted.

“F*cking hell tine, he should not ask you that question, you are his ex and he was going to get married get his sh*t done!” Arya added. Her eyes squinted.

She just hunch her shoulders with bowed head. Afraid to even look at their eyes. Arya is a jolly person, she had saw her angry once but not that bad while Lei, she never saw her angry because lei was sometimes aloof and quiet.

Sandy tries to calm the two down. And she did. “So what are your plans?” they ask her.

She sighs and massage her temples. “I want to back out as their event organizer, but i want one of you handle it can you?” she stated.

“Why bother us? When you can just turn his offer down, Celestine?” Lei answered after calming herself.

“It’s not like that, Lei it wasn’t easy pleaseee?” Tine pleaded.

“Fine, i’ll do it” Arya suggested with bored tone. As soon as she heard it, she immediately hug her. “Really?” and the girl just nod.

“Thank you, thankyou thankyou so much iloveyou” she beamed. The girl replied. “Loveyoutoo”

THE night comes, Celestine was on her bed laying yet she can’t even sleep. It’s now 12:48 midnight. She can’t stop thinking about his ex. Yes, Jacob.

“looks like she really love her fiancee” she sighs. It’s uncommon for them to have a male client. Usually, it was always the female who plans for their marriage or engagement party.

Whoever the girl is, she must be very lucky. Because the man he had, is the one whom she treasured the most.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Jacob can’t still believe what happened. Especially when Celestine left her dumbfounded. He sighs. Why am i thinking of her again?

He felt bad. When he remember what Celestine said. She’s right. I should’ve just be quiet and not ask her. Afterall, it’s my fault‚ i was the one who left her alone.

He should not be taken by his emotion, he loves her fiance, and he knew Klea feels the same. Suddenly, Celestine appeared on his head.

Her amber orbs, aquiline nose, almond eyes, smooth skin, thin waist length blonde hair, curvy body and lastly her lips... her lips that was soft.

he shook his head to clear the thoughts away. He remind his self that he had a fiance that was soon to be her wife and a mother of his child so he shouldn’t look at other woman. He sighs before sleeping.
