Flynn Vasilios P.O.V

"I swear I'm gonna kill that motherfucker!"


Seeing my bestfriend angry like this made me nervous. Never in my entire life have I seen Rodrigo so mad. I know that he cared a lot about Ximena, but I never thought that he cared so much that he was ready to commit a murder for her.

"Man, calm the fuck down!"

Rodrigo looked at me with a murderous look in his eyes. "Why are you so fucking calm?!" he seethed. "That bastard cheated on your sister with his ugly PA !"


"She's old enough to handle her own personal problems." I answered calmly, even though deep down inside I was everything except calm.

I was fuming, infuriated, outraged.


God, I was so close to make that guy penisless, if that's even a word.

If it wasn't because of Ximena's pleading words to not make things worse, I swear I would have gone that cheating asshole house the second I got the news from a crying Ximena.

Seeing my sister cry was heartbreaking. And I hate that the person who caused her the heartache was her own cheating fiancee.

Ex-fiancee.

But I know she was strong. I know she would overcome this.

It was just a little bit hard to explain to Rodrigo that Ximena didn't want our help. Ximena specifically told me she didn't want me to punch Blake in his face nor any other parts of his body. "Don't lower yourself to his level." she had said through teary eyes.

"She's your fucking sister Flynn! Even if she said to not do it, you should !" Rodrigo yelled out aggravated. "You can't just let that cheating bastard go without at least a few punches."

I shook my head. My hands were itching to punch Blake, but I'll try to keep myself in.

For the sake of Ximena.

"It's what she wants Rodrigo, I will not go against her wishes."

Rodrigo let out a sharp breath and sat down on the chair in front of me. He breathed in and out to calm himself down.

"Fuck ! I swear, if I see that cheating bastard I will not hesitate to punch him in his face." Rodrigo said through gritted teeth.

"Me neither, it hurts to see my sister crying because of a stupid boy."

We stayed silent for a while, before Rodrigo broke it.

"How was your date?" he asked.

"It was great." I said, a small smile making it's way to my face at the memories of last night. "Jill is amazing."

"I bet she is. Have you told her yet?"

I shook my head, knowing exactly what he was talking about.

Rodrigo cursed under his breath. "You fucking idiot ! When the hell are you going to tell her?!"

"Soon."

Jill Malik P.O.V

Get ready tomorrow at 4PM, we're going on a picnic .F.

I typed a quick okay back before turning my attention back to my laptop. Lately more work has been piling up, because Ximena was on a mini vacation. She was having a good time at the burj al arab in Dubai, while me and Claire were trying to finish all the work that was as high as that building.

I didn't mind that she was on a mini four day vacation in Dubai. Her parents recommended it to her the day she broke up with Blake. They couldn't see their only daughter being depressed especially before her makeup launch. It was good for her. Yesterday she sent me a picture while she was having a massage. She looked happy and healthy.

About Blake, that cheating bastard. He didn't even felt sorry about it. He just continued his 'relationship' with his slutty PA and even proposed to her after he broke up with Ximena. He even proposed to her with the same ring he gave Ximena. To put the cherry on top, their wedding will be held on the same day Ximena will launch her makeup. All the time he wasn't arranging his marriage with Ximena, but with his PA.

I don't know why he did this to Ximena, but I'm sure Karma will get back to him one day. He's such a disgrace to all the male species in this world.

Yesterday Flynn came over and had lunch with me. He brought chinese and we had a pretty good time. He made me laugh and I felt more comfortable around him. He isn't as bad as I thought he was in the beginning.

He's actually really cool and hot, with his occasional dirty jokes. But then again Flynn without his dirty jokes is not the Flynn I know.

He laughed and every time he did that, my heart skipped a beat. The sound of his laugh was the best sound my ears had ever heard. It was so laid back and chill.

I felt like I knew him. But I couldn't put two and two together, because something is missing.

Like an important piece of information.

Or maybe I'm just imagining things, because I'm still thinking about him. It's weird and I hate that I can't let it go.

I asked Flynn what he thought of Blake, but he just shrugged it off and muttered something along the lines of: "My sister is old enough to know that this is just one of the setbacks in life."

His answer was weird, because most brothers would beat the guy who fucked his sister up. Flynn on the other hand seemed unfazed. Like he didn't care about the situation. I decided to not question him about it anymore, because I know it would be pointless.

"Miss Malik?" Claire walked into my office, with a donut and coffee. "You didn't had breakfast nor lunch, so I brought some for you."

She placed it on my desk and my eyes went to the clock on my table. Three pm.

Dammit, did I work for so long. No wonder I had cramps in my fingers and my eyes were watering.

"Miss Malik, you should take a break sometimes. All this work is not good for you." Claire said, as she handed me a tissue to wipe my eyes off.

"It's okay, Claire." I replied, slowly wiping the tears off. "I'm just doing what I need to do."

"No, no. Ximena is actually really worried about you. She specifically told me that the work she left behind should be done by me, you, and the rest of the team. At this point you're the one who's doing most of the work." Claire shut my laptop off and took it off the table.

"Hey! Where are you going with my laptop?" I asked dumbfounded as she walked out of my office with my laptop in her hands.

"Hiding this." she said casually. "Tomorrow you have a day off. Don't worry about us, we will be doing just fine."

"Claire, I was just doing my work !" I protested.

"No Miss Malik. Your work is finished. That was giving a name to the makeup palette, the rest was our work and we're going to finish it. So you can as well pack up and go home and give yourself a nice bath, because you deserve it." With that she walked out of my office with a content smile on her face.

I leaned backwards on my chair and sighed deeply. It was hard hearing the truth from Claire. I wanted everything to be perfect, because I know how much this launch means to Ximena. But that's why she also has other people working in this building.

I tend to forget that sometimes.

I packed up my stuff and closed my office. When I walked passed Claire, she gave me a warm smile and said: "Have a great day Miss Malik."

"You too, Claire." I replied back, smiling.

I passed other cubicles and said my goodbyes to my other colleagues, before exiting the building.

..........

When I arrived at my apartment, it was empty. Reina was still at work and she would probably have dinner with Luca and his parents who were currently in town.

I took a nice bath and dressed up in a my skimpy peignoir and ordered pizza. After my dinner -pizza- arrived I turned on netflix and watched Riverdale. I felt so relaxed.

The front door opened and Reina came in. "Hey." she greeted, putting her bag on the table. "Hi, how was dinner?" I asked, as she plopped down next to me.

"His parents were too... happy." she sighed, grabbing a pizza from the box. "No, happy is not even the right word. Let's just say excited. Overly excited, to the point where they started talking about baby names."

"Wow." I chuckled, "That's a lot for meeting them for the first time."

"I know right, but they are nice people. Their english is funny and the dad kept using google translate on his phone to talk to me."

"Nice in-laws you have there." I laughed.

She rolled her eyes. "I'm going to take italian lessons."

"Really?" I asked surprised.

She nodded and smiled. "Hard to believe right. I swore to myself that I wouldn't learn any other foreign language after English. But here I am, thinking about taking Italian classes."

"The things you do for love."

"The things I do for love." she sighed chuckling, taking a bite of her pizza. "So, how are things going between you and loverboy?"

"Will you stop calling him loverboy? That's so... high schoolish."

She laughed loudly. "Okay, what should I call him then? Prince charming? Gentleman in a bugatti?"

"Yikes no, Flynn is fine." I said after hearing the awful nicknames she had for him. Gentleman in a bugatti? Really, is that the what they call prince on a white horse in this century?

"Yeah whatever, so are you guys dating?"

I shook my head. "Nope, just friends."

"Really?" she said disappointed. "I thought you guys were already passed the friendzone."

"Why would you think that?"

"I don't know." she shrugged, "He's so nice to you."

"That's true, but that's what friends are supposed to be. And bytheway he reminds me a lot of him."

Her eyes widened. "You mean one night stand guy?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I know he's not the one. If he was he would tell me right? He wouldn't keep it a secret."

"What if he is the one? But he is afraid to tell you?"

Reina's question made me think for awhile. I haven't thought about that.

"But what if he knows, but he doesn't want to remind me about it, because it was just a one night stand."

"Mmh, that's another way of thinking about it. You will never know if you don't ask him."

"So you are telling me that I should ask him?" I said, looking horrified. "Are you crazy? What if he's not the one?"

"Then he's not the one." she simply shrugged.

"No, no. If he's the one he should tell me, because he remembered. I don't. And it's only fair if he does, because he left me without a note or something. And that's already a hint that it was just a one night stand. Nothing less, nothing more." I stated.

"But you fell in love. Maybe he did too. You never know if you don't ask hunny. You said it yourself. You guys didn't fuck, but made love."

"Maybe he is not even the guy. Maybe I was being delusional. Maybe it was someone else."

"You will never know until you ask."

"And I will not." I said, crossing my hands across my chest.

"What if he's the one?" Reina said, "How will you feel about it?"

"Mad of course." I laughed, "I mean all this time he knew and didn't bother telling me. That's lying."

"But," I added. "He's not the one."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Pretty sure." I replied confidently.

I was just being delusional.
