Love flows in the direction it wants and when cupid’s arrow strikes you become a victim.

“Welcome sir, these are the documents that need your attention today” my assistant said as he handed me the documents.
“What is my schedule for today” I said not even glancing at the documents he handed to me and walking steadily towards the elevator.
“ You have a meeting with the Ambassador today. You have to give a speech at the annual conference today. You have a date with Miss...”
“ Cancel that “
“ Noted”
My assistant continues taking me through my schedule. But I halt my steps when at the mention of her.
“ Ms. Peri Anderson is to drop her CV ,today. Would you want to interview her today , or we can schedule for another.....”
“I’ll interview her myself “
“Duly noted”
“That would be all for today ,Sir”
“You can leave now”.
The door behind me voted with a small thud.
And I released the pent up breath I was holding. How long has it been since I last saw her?. Would she recognise me?.
I snapped myself back to reality and focused on my work .
“Gosh this building is mind-blowing “ I said mesmerised by what I was seeing .
I muttered to myself to be strong and took a deep breath as I entered.
I walked up to the receptionist a d told her I was here to drop my CV. She took it and muttered to me to hold on for a second.
“Yes Sir, will do so Sit”
She turned to me and asked me to follow her up. I was a bit confused and she offered a smile and said the CEO wants to interview me.
I halted my steps a d told her I wasn’t dressed appropriately to go for an interview.
She sized me up and said it doesn’t matter I’ll do just fine. We got into the elevator and rode in silence.
I was mentally kicking myself for not dressing more appropriately. I was looking down at my a little wrinkled skirt with trying to cover the yellow stain on my shirt with my jacket.
“We are here, you turn left ,knock and enter the “ she said
“All the best”
I muttered a thank you before meeting my doom.
I heard a quiet knock and turned my head to the door. I thought I misheard it. It came again but this time a little bolder.
“Come in”
My heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw who had entered. I first noticed her coffee eyes. Her raven haired did not miss me. It had grown longer. I sized her up and caused a little frown on my face.
She stood there with a bold stance and a confident aura emanating fro her.
I drank in all of her before finally speaking.
“ Have a seat”
She took easy and calm steps to sit. I groaned inwardly as I cursed myself for taking notice.
Her scent hit me hard and memories and feelings resurfaced like it had been in a deep slumber and its now waking up.
I cleared my throat and went through to u terrier her.
She answered correctly each time and my mind couldn’t help but wander to those luscious, riped lips ,imagining how title would look like after a brutal assault.
“Sir”
I snapped bac and told her that would be all .
“ You’ll be contacted in when you should start “
“You’ve picked me” she said
I merely glanced at her and made a phone call to the receptionist. I told her she could leave and she muttered a thank you with a confused, astonished look.
I went back to looking at my documents until I heard the door close and let out a breath.
I thought I had buried every last bit of feelings. How come they’ve broken free after seeing her. That was why I had to stay away.
After all she’s a forbidden fruit. My best friend’s little sister is off limits to me.
But the forbidden fruit is always the sweetest
My mind was in tumbles. How come I was picked on the spot.
These were my thoughts as I exited the building. I stopped to retrieve my phone to check who was calling.
“ Hi mom”
“ Sweetie how did it go” she chipped happily.
“I got picked “
“Oh great, how wonderful. Tonight we celebrate. I told you your brother always..”
“ Mom please not today. I’ll see you later. Bye”
I hunged up the call mot wanting to listen to her rants about my brother’s love for me
My thought went back to Jay den. How long has it been ten years or more since I last saw him. He’s grown more beautiful than I last saw him. He seemed distant and I’m guessing he felt irritated doing a favour for a friend.
I scoffed mentally and decided not to let anything or anyone dampen my mood . No one asked him to do me a favour . He decided on his own so he bears it I don’t care.
I waved my hands to hail a taxi.
I got home and was met with a surprise indeed.
My brother was home and on top of it all with that b***h of his.
I walked up straight to my room not even glancing at anyone. But when the devil get his eyes in you he sure wants to devour you .
“Hey Peri”
I halted and gave my brother a side glance and continues upstairs.
I changed into a hoodie and some loose pants.
I suddenly heard a knock on my door.
“Sweetie why don’t you come down for dinner.” My mom said cautiously.
“Sure I will be out in a moment”
I hate how I make my parents worried about the discord between my brother and I but I can’t help it.
At dinner that stupid b***h couldn’t just shut her mouth up.
“ Peter and I went to Greece to formalised a hundred million dollars contract”” That’s wonderful “ I heard my dad say.
“ I’m done .I have a lot to do so see you later mom and dad. Goodnight “
I stood up to go back to my room and could feel the tension at the table. I didn’t care . They dare not wish for me to be part of this sick game.
I was getting g ready to tuck myself in when I heard a faint knock.
“Shorty...are you there. I know you’re not asleep because your lights are on”
I did not utter a word for the longest of time when I heard my brother speaking again.
“Goodnight then. I love you”
I could feel him standing there waiting for me to say something. But I turned off my lights and went back to sleep.
