Javier's POV

"Oh please”I said raking my hand through my hair again, I was really frustrated, I didn't want to have this argument right now, I didn't want to remember Megan and Sam together. I've been holding up pretty well since yesterday, and Megan was ruining it by making me talk about it, does she know how it feels to know that the only person you've ever loved doesn't feel the way and might never feel the same way? I guess she does or maybe she doesn't because this feeling sucks. "What do I have to do to shut you up?"

She lost her cool again as I her brown eyes shot daggers at me, "umm__ I don't know kiss me?_"

I didn't hear the rest of what she was saying, kiss you huh? That would be a pretty awesome way to shut her up. I didn't think about it anymore as my limbs moved faster than my mind and I crashed my lips against hers.

It felt so good better than I remembered it, I was practically caressing her soft lips with mine and she wasn't doing anything, I wanted her to kiss me back, but she stood still and I felt bad, I felt rejected, then I stopped and was about to withdraw from her before she did the unexpected. She put her hands over my neck and practically forced me to stay as she finally kissed me, I didn't need a fairy God mother to direct me or tell me what to next.

We broke it up for air, I was literally hearing our heart beats, mine more than hers, I smiled my forehead resting on hers, that was something I've never experienced before and I was struggling very hard to keep my hands to myself.

Megan was staring at the floor or at my shoes it was hard to tell, I put a finger on her chin and lifted her face to look her at me, her eyes have never looked more beautiful than now, she was looking intensely at me, searching for__ answers, wishing for me to say something. I knew all this because somehow her eyes spoke better than her mouth. But I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what she wanted me to say.

I moved away from her and sat down on the floor resting my back to the desk and pulling my knees up to me. Megan raised her brows at me.

I shrugged, "I couldn't keep looking at you, else we are going to turn this office upside down and possibly destroy this table"

She still didn't understand as she copied my position but didn't stay close to me.

"I don't want to have sex in my office Megan It’s unprofessional”I stated very clearly this time, she suddenly starting coughing uncontrollable and I couldn't help but laugh at her cuteness.

"But for you I can bend what's professional, so what do you say, couch or table?"

"You are such a horny unprofessional boss”she said laughing this time.

I shrugged again, "It’s not my fault you kiss so well"

She blushed and turned away from me, "I _ I got caught up in the moment”she muttered.

"I don't mind, I loved it. Whoa imagine all the times I could have done that to shut you up, who knew the results would be this fascinating”I said then felt the cushion pillow hit my face as I laughed. "Not cool Megan, am your boss"

"Well my boss shouldn't talk that way"

"And you shouldn't kiss your boss that way too"

"What was I supposed to do, it was hypnotising and really good”then she freezed as the words left her mouth, I was struggling not to laugh. She signed, "oh just laugh already"

I started laughing, why didn't I record that? Another pillow hit me, "jerk”Megan said hiding her face away from me.

I moved to her spot, "am sorry"

"No you are not"

"Really I am"

She looked at me and I sobered up, "am sorry I didn't let you see me yesterday, am sorry I left without an explanation, am sorry I treated you badly and shouted at you today, and am sorry for being a jerk"

Pause, nobody said anything as we just stared at each others eyes, I could practically hear the background romantic music.

"Am sorry for shouting at you too, and for pelting you with a pillow”she said too, I smiled. "And stop looking at me that way"

"What way?”I asked confused.

"A way that makes me want to choose the desk”she said hiding her face. I smiled as I got off the ground.

"Not today princess, you are too special for the desk”I looked at her and she looked shocked.

"Princess?”She asked getting up.

"Yea It’s much better than Cupcake, right?"

She smiled, "you still don't like Keith"

"I don't think I will ever like him, anyway where did you run off to yesterday?”I didn't know why I asked but maybe I misunderstood everything, everyone deserves a benefit of a doubt. And she wouldn't have kissed me back if she was still hopelessly in love with Sam, maybe there is a little space in there for me, or I'll just create one.

She signed, "Sam called”I nodded I knew that part already. "Federico Sullivan is threatening to take him to court for kidnapping his daughter"

What?!

"Susan_ Susan has to undergo surgery because a cancer cell regenerated"

Oh my God!.

"He needed a friend to talk to and am his best friend"

"I didn't know”I said feeling bad, I rushed to conclusion too quickly, cancer was a serious deal.

She chuckled, "of course you didn't, you were busy throwing a tantrum, what actually happened?"

He turned away, am so foolish, "I__ I had a jealous fit"

"Oh, over what?"

"Something that I see as mine”I said, I looked at her and she nodded, then started staring at her feet shifting from one place to another. "What is it, go on and ask"

"Why did you kiss Me?”She blurted out.

"Because you told me too and I wanted you to shut up”I replied, that was one reason, the next one was because I always wanted to.

"Oh” she said again looking at her feet, "are we still on with our breaking Sam's relationship deal?"

"I don't know, we haven't done that in a while, I practically forgot, you still want to go for it?”My stomach knotted again, I went up to my Scotch bottle and poured myself a drink.

"Nope, Sam has a lot on his plate right now, I really don't want to go on with the deal, he is my best friend and if he is happy with Kristen so be it”she said smiling up at me, "what about you?"

I smiled, that's the best thing I've heard a while, "I've quitted a long time ago"

"Really?_"

I nodded as I zoned out of the conversation, Megan was stated her legs crossed on the edge of the couch, she had really fantastic legs and the top button of her shirt was undone and was showing a little cleavage that was driving me crazy, then her lips, they were currently but no words were coming out, I missed her lips already, I really wanted to kiss her again maybe forever and ever and ever and ever and_

"Javier?"

"What?”I asked confused as my attention snapped back to her.

"I asked you a question?”She said.

"Which is?"

"Are you willing to just throw away your love for Kristen?”She asked.

"What Kristen?"

"Kristen, your fiancée"

"Oh I don't love her!"

"What??!!”She asked in a shocked tone.

"I never loved Kristen, It’s an arranged marriage, I was going to get her back from Sam in order to please my dad”I explained.

"Whoa, I never knew I thought you really loved her"

"Nope, I've only ever loved one person”I said.

"Really who?”She asked seeming very interested.

"Nicki Minaj”I answered studying her expression, she looked taken back like she wasn't expecting that. I got up and headed towards my Scotch bottle.

"Nicki Minaj?, you know her, you and her were a thing?”She asked following me behind.

"Yep, for one night”I said.

"Oh, and you feel in love_at first sight?"

"Maybe, maybe not, It’s complicated”I said as I turned and bumped into Megan, her body against mine, thankfully no one fell, we stood still for about a second before she took a step back, her face red as ketchup.

I closed the distance between us again and she looked up at me, I could tell she was nervous. Don't look at me Megan am trying to keep my cool and you aren't helping, am so doomed, not even a cold shower can help me now.

"Since we aren't partners in crime anymore, what are we?”I asked.

She gulped, "employees”then she took another step back.

I closed the distance again, I like feeling her presence close, very close, "I want to be more than that"

She gulped again, "friends?"

Friends? Weren't we already that? Does that need some kind of documentation? I had the feeling of saying, more. But I held it in, I didn't want to push my luck and being friends was a good thing right?, baby steps. Am so gonna make use of this new title.

"OK, friends”we shook hands.

"You can take the rest of the day off, I've something to take care off”I said.

"Cool, I'll go visit Susan”Megan said, heading off to her table.

"Yea, tell her Javier says hi”I said.

"OK”she said grabbing her bag and heading out.

"Megan!”I called her as she opened the door.

"Yea”she answered looking at me

I waved, "bye friend"

She smiled her million dollar smile and waved too, "bye pretty boy"

Megan's POV

I can't believe Javier is bluey, it all makes sense now, the blue eyes, the resemblance and he just had to top off the scale by calling me princess, am going crazy.

I've fallen in love with my one night stand. And he didn't remember me, he practically had no idea who I was. I kinda feel bad about that, does that make sense? At least now I know I didn't give my Vcard to a drug lord or a prostitute, or a chain smoker. I gave it to Javier and even though he doesn't know it, am glad It’s him.

Best news in the world, Javier doesn't love Kristen, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!. Am fucking happy right now, I just hope Nicki Minaj won't be a problem, lucky her. Am so jealous.

And yeah, the kiss it so happened. I don't think I'll forget about that in a long time. Javier looks so hot when his mad and scary too. We are friends now, that's a good thing, right? I just hope he knows that am a keeper.

I pressed the horn of the car again, for the second time. I convinced Louis to let me drive the car, am taking myself, Rita, and the twins to go see Susan, I really hope she isn't critical. I pressed the horn again, am going to leave them if they don't come out soon. I texted Rita, while I was still in office, they supposed to be ready by now. I was about to press the horn again when I saw Rita coming out, followed by the twins.

"Well It’s about time”I yelled.

"This better be important”Rita said, sliding into the back seat.

"Meg's Driving!”Darlene yelled as she and Dylan ran to the front door and started struggling on who gets to seat there, after a little while, Dylan won.

"Jerk”Darlene muttered getting into the back seat with Rita, while Dylan laughed resting his feet on the dashboard.

"Hey, this isn't my car you know”I scolded.

"Which is why I should enjoy it while it lasts”Dylan replied closing his eyes.

"You have a migraine?”I asked pulling out and into the road.

He nodded, "thats one of the reasons Darlene left me to win in peace"

I nodded looking back at Darlene who was now with Rita's phone probably playing a game, "hey you two are matching”I said pointing out their blue shirts and dark skinny jeans.

"What?”Dylan asked jumping off the seat in surprise, he hated it when they matched. "Why didn't you say something Darlene?"

She just laughed and shrugged, "we don't dress up all the time, I figured since we already matched, we should just go along with it instead of changing"

"Ah, I hate being colour blind”he said then hit his head on the seat and groaned "and I hate this migraine"

"Does it hurt?”Darlene asked her voice laced with concern. Dylan stuck out his bottom lip and nodded. "Come over"

Dylan usually had pretty bad migraines, I don't know if it has anything to do with his colour blindness or not, but he and Darlene usually pass through his times together, like they do everything.

Rita and Dylan switched seats crossing over like monkeys, so much for the earlier struggle.

"For the last time, this is not my car!”I said, Louis is gonna freak if he sees it dirty. Dylan groaned placing his head on Darlene's legs.

"Where are we going again?”Rita asked.

"What's got your tail on fire”I asked her she seemed moody. She just groaned.

"She's passing through Sodom and Gomorrah”Darlene replied. I laughed and awaited their song. "Come on D"

"Am not in the mood D”Dylan replied her.

"Please_”she whined as he finally signed and got up.

"Sodom, Sodom, Sodom”Dylan sang forming a base voice.

"And Gomorrahhhh”Darlene sang too.

"Destruction, pain, red red"

"Breaking of the egg, pain, flushing out pain, red red"

"Aka Period time!”They both sang as we all burst out laughing all expect Rita.

"That actually makes no sense to me”I said still laughing.

"It does to me and my twin”Darlene said as they bumped fist.

"You guys would pay for this”Rita said. "So where are we going?"

"To see Susan, we would soon be there”I said feeling my joy die down, I hated hospitals, especially when my loved one is inside.

"Is Sam not feeding her well?, she's only been gone for a week"

"She's been admitted”I said, they raised their brows at me, "in the hospital"

"WHAT?!!!”All three of them shouted sitting up.

"Oh God, am gonna die”Dylan whined resting back his head on Darlene's legs.

"Why? what happened”Rita asked.

"Cancer is back”I stated feeling my throat close up.

The car was covered in silence. I shall not cry, not now, not when in the hospital, I had to be strong.

"She's going to be fine, right?”Rita asked looking at me as I pulled into the General hospital.

"Of course, everything is going to be OK”I replied squeezing her hand as the security guard approached. I hope so, I hope everything would be fine.
