Love in contract

The first night away from each other, was hard on both of them, while freen drink her pain away, becky cry herself to sleep next to Charlotte.

Freen clearly drunk sends text after text  telling how sorry she was to forgive her that never she will she her any different because of dad and so on but every single text stay without a response, until she leave drunk voice on becky phone but unfortunately for her, becky didn’t reply to her too.

The morning after the two girls wakes up with a massive headache, and a broken heart becky saw all the message freen leave but doesn’t reply to her, it will be easy that way she need a clean break from her, she just sends freen a resignation letter by and blocked her on her phone, it was for the best that was she was telling herself. She sends another email to freen to say that everything that will be related to the contract will be discuss by mail.

Freen didn’t go to work and drink all week, she left Nam in charge in the company and tell her to recruit someone to help her she doesn’t know how much time she will need with the aches she have in heart she will definitely need to be alone. 

She doesn’t know what she will do to gain becky trust back, she must have disappointed her greatly, her house felt so empty now, without becky next to her. 

She feels the ghost of her in every room, the morning when she wake up in the bedroom she still smell becky perfumes in her pillows she remembered how the becky was feeling when she was next to her how many times she wakes up before and spend her time just to observed the younger girl sleeping face, in the bathroom where her toothbrush lay next to hers and her make up scattered next to her perfume and her own make up when they brushed their teeth next to each other each morning, in her wardrobe where becky clothes were next to hers, in the kitchen were they make breakfast and sometime dinner together their silly or how some time when they cooked it finished with them with flour on each other chasing each other in the house she can still heard becky laugh echoed in the empty house, in the dinner room where they eat next to each other talking about trivial things and when sometime when things get heated they started to felt each other on the table, in the living room where becky computer was still next to hers and where they spends countless time working with each other and stimulate each other or the numerous times they fall asleep with becky head on her shoulder, she still feel her presence everywhere. 

So when the week end comes she lied to her parents that she have something already  with  becky but in reality she goes to her old house, where her last happy memories with her parents were, since her parents death it was the first time she goes there, packing her bag she can’t help herself but to take with her the sweatshirt becky always wears when she was sleeping in her house.

Becky had a busy week when she wasn’t crying her pain away she was always on charlotte's computer working, Charlotte tried to speak with her but the younger refused to tell her anything and Charlotte was distressed that she can’t anything to help her younger cousin. 

Becky work on the proof they find when she hacked her father computer strangely enough his business was completely clean, but she find a hidden files who was scripted so she spends her time cracking the system who was protecting the files who names S simply that it intrigues her to no end.

And the rest of the time she stay confined in charlotte's apartment in self-pity, she didn’t reply to her friends anymore she doesn’t have the heart to pretend she was ok when she was clearly not. 

She was hurting, broken even, freen haunted every thought of hers, she remembered the silly jokes when they were together, how brightly freen smiles at her when they found a solution to a problem, how her touches feels on her skin when freen woke her in the morning or just to comfort her when she was stressed, every little kiss to reassure her when she was doubting on something, every little talk they have about their likes and dislikes how she teases freen when she tells her she fears cockroaches. 

How freen trusted her wholeheartedly when she tells her her past even if it was clearly hard for the older girls, how her embrace feels when becky fall asleep on her arms or wake up next to her or when becky was frustrated with herself, how they talk and work to no hours, all the hugs they exchanged whenever they feel it, the soft touches and caresses like they needed to be connected no matters how, the soft look was giving to her when she thinks that she wasn’t looking and was destined just for becky, how tender she was even when she was clearly wrong or at fault but freen overlooked at that for her, how aware she was to becky needs without she has to say a things.

 Shaking her head she decided she can’t stay here anymore in her thought she needs fresh air. 

She walked mindlessly, until she was pulled to someone, startled she was ready to gave them a piece of her mind when that person talked.

‘‘ Careful this car almost ran over you. That bastard didn’t even stop.’’ The young man with in British accent cursed softly. ‘‘Are you ok?’’

‘‘Huh yeah thank you.’’ Becky said shakily she almost died she needs to pull herself together.

‘‘You seems shaken up why don’t we go sits in that café just here?’’ He asked gently and pointed the cafe who was around the corner. ‘‘Don’t worry I’m not hitting on you it’s just you remind me my little sister and you’re clearly in shock.’’ Becky looked at him suspiciously, she was hesitant but after all it was a public place so doesn’t have to worry about it.

‘‘Yeah why not.’’ She said with a shrug.

‘‘I’m Richie smith by the way. And you’re ?’’ He asked still smiling it was strange she concluded, why was he smiling like that.

‘‘I’m Rebecca Armstrong.’’ She replied shortly she wasn’t in the mood to be friendly, she looked through the window her mind still wandering to freen she hopes she does well, but she misses her terribly.

‘‘You seems to have a lot on your mind, you know talking to a stranger might help you, no judgment here.’’ He said kindly.

‘‘I don’t know about that really, I’m just a bit tired this day.’’ It was a bit weird she felt like she can trust Richie, it was the same sensation she has when her brother was still alive, she doesn’t even remember his face when he died her father take all picture away saying it was to painful for him to see them. But she still remember how protected she felt with her brother when he was still here, how he loved her. Or maybe it was because they have the same name.

‘‘Oh why it’s the cause if you don’t mind me asking? Let me guess maybe because of work, because I don’t think with the face of yours that someone would dare to break with you.’’  He joked lightly his little sister was really beautiful, he hoped whatever was happening between herself and freen would be resolved rapidly.

This morning he decided to follow becky it was the first time in week that her sister left the apartment of their cousin he knows becky was hurting, and freen was in security were she was but by precaution he ordered his men to watch over her from afar.                                                                                The walk was peaceful, but becky seems out of it when he noticed a car followed becky his speed his space to be closed to her it was then whoever who it was tried run over her, after saving his sister he sends his men a quick text to tell them to catch the guy and give them the license plate.

Letting a little laugh becky, looked at him smiling. ‘‘Yeah we can say it’s a little bit of the both.’’

‘‘Why don’t you take break? Go on a trip somewhere peaceful to recenter yourself, do something you love it might help you to keep your mind out of  your problem.’’ He proposed kindly it was under the impression that her sister need to clear her mind far away from here and he know exactly where he was going to send her grinning widely.

‘‘I don’t know I just resigned to my work, my love life is a mess, and really don’t know where to go.’’ She explained, she has really no idea where she could go.

‘‘ I tell you what, actually I’m an entrepreneur I have few houses I can let you borrow, in return why don’t you introduces me to a cute friends of yours, deal?’’ His plan was perfect he gonna sends becky to the house next to freen it was a beach house enough secluded to have privacy, in truth it was their old beach house so letting becky go free there was really not a big deal, if they meet or not it will be up to faith.

‘‘Ok we have a deal, plus I have the perfect person in mind for you.’’ She grinned, she was actually pretty excited at the prospect being alone for the some time would definitely do her some good.

‘‘That’s great then I have the perfect house for you.’’

They talked until late in the evening, talking about themselves, their job their likes and dislikes, joking around, teasing each other, they have definitely a lot in common. Becky definitely have a good time with Richie, it was like having a big brother, she really like his company he was easy going, and for a moment she doesn’t think about freen. They exchanged their and promises to meet tomorrow to take the key with him.

Freen just arrived at her parents beach house she doesn’t how much time she would stay here everything was still raw for her, maybe reminiscing her happy memories with her parents would help her. 

The house was still the same their pictures were hanging the wall we can saw how happy they were on the pictures as their face were harboring a big smile, she caressed the faces of her parents with the tips of her fingers smiling softly. 

The office of her father still have the drawing she did for her dad on his desk, she remembered that her dad installed a mini desk for her next to his because freen insisted that she would worked for booth of their parents when she will be older, smiling softly the take the pictures of her parents on her father desk, it was the day they married a big smile on their face and of her dad was on her mother belly as she was pregnant at that time. A sad smile come to her face she continues her trip to memories lanes, through the house.

Later that evening she was sitting on the porch in a rockchair a blanket in her lap she remembered how she like to run on the beach when she was little, but in her memories she was always playing with a little girl she wondered where she was now. She brought with herself a couple photo album. She goes through it, most of it was her with her dad sitting in her mini desks imitating her dad or her with her mom painting next to each other, a few pictures was her and this little girl playing around, sometimes with their clothes dirty and big grin on their face and sometimes they were with a boy and they seems when they were together.

She was definitely happy there but everything come to end because of Robert Armstrong, this man ruin her life she asked herself can she really accepted becky despite being of the daughter of that man. Was becky worth it? She didn’t know sipping her wine, she let her mind wandering to her memories with becky. And she concluded the girl was definitely worth it but how can she show her that? 

Looking at the sky she asked to her parents to show her sign if becky was really the one who will stay by her side.

Becky was finally at home after her afternoon with Richie she tells Charlotte she need to get away for sometime and tell her how she meet someone nice who help her when she almost died because of a car, she texted her friends to show them she was alive and that she takes some vacation but don’t know how long.

The gang meet this Saturday night, something was definitely wrong with their friends the two girls disappeared in the same time, and didn’t respond to them anymore, freen just sends nam a message to tell that becky and her were on vacation, but unbeknownst to her becky already resigned, she knows better than that so she reunited the gang to make a plan for the two girls to reconcile and she have the perfect idea, discussing with their friends they tweaked the whole thing they knows it might worked based on their reaction and they possessiveness on each other.

Two weeks passed and the two ex lover didn’t crossed the same path once, becky was busy on hacking the file, sometimes she read a book or take a long stroll on the beach, sometimes she just think of freen hoping that she does well, while freen searched a way to get becky back, she worked also on a plan to make Jensen pay, but almost of the time she thinks of becky wondering what she was doing now or did becky missed her like herself was missing her.

This afternoon freen was sitting working on her father desk when her pen fell on the ground, when she tried to pick up the pen she saw something suspicious underneath the desk bending down she looked and saw a usb key hidden. She plugged the key on her laptop and saw only one file with the name of S. She tried to open but it was protected it was definitely suspicious so she tried to hacked the files. Few hours later she decided to take a stroll even if working prevented her of thinking about becky, her mind always comes back to her.

Becky was working on the file she found she knows she was almost there, it was really difficult she never saw in her life a such complicated coding but she was confident that she can cracked it. This afternoon she wandered in the house, when she finds a box hidden in a bedroom, curiously she looked at what was inside it was a bunch of pictures and what she saw surprises her, it was her and her family her with a little girl she doesn’t know who it was even some picture of her brother, overwhelmed by what she discovered, she decided to take walk to clear her mind.

She was walking for maybe fifteen minutes when she heard someone crying curiously she followed the sound it was a girl who the back was facing her, she was about to asked her if everything was alright when she heard her talk, she doesn’t expected to see her here.

‘‘Why everything is so mess up in my life mom, dad, for once in my life I found someone who really gets me and I screwed up everything.’’ Freen while walking decided to sit here, her minds was continuously flowing with the thought of becky the separation was bad for her really bad, sometimes if was like she can’t breathe anymore, so she decided to let it out here in the middle of nowhere in front of the sea hoping by some magical way the wind would carried her words to becky.

‘‘I should have hold her back you know but I was a coward, I was afraid she might rejected my feelings for her, but now I lost her completely, I should've told her how important she was to me, that her friendship and companionship was the world to me, that I never felt this understood with anyone, that she was my comfort zone, that with her I wasn’t afraid to be who I am, that my feelings for her was authentic and pure, that no matter who was her dad it doesn’t define her and I accepts her wholeheartedly, that she was the most caring, understandable, smartest, and beautiful person I ever meet, that I would trade my fortune now if it means that I can have her by my side because I never felt so complete, happy and fulfill until she was by my side, I should have tell how she makes me feel but what’s the point now ? She’s gone she even blocked me on her phone and I know she must have need time but it’s unbearable for me now not see her daily to not hear voice or her cute little giggle. I miss her, I really miss her mom, what’s the point telling all of that now? It was that night I should’ve tell her that not now.’’

She finished her speech by a guttural broken scream into the nothingness to evacuate all her frustrations and her pain. ‘‘Why did she leave me ? Why I always end up alone with no one by my sides? Why?’’ She sobbed loudly.

Her  broken scream echoed in becky’s broken heart, she was hurting for the older it was really broken her to see her in this state, she approached quietly freen when she was about to reaches freen she retracted her hands tears flow freely in her face and turned on her heels. She can’t drag freen into her mess no matter how she hitches to be with her she needed to protect her from her dad, but decided that in order to stop her dad she will need all the possible help including freen and she can’t forget also the matters with Chris.

Arriving in the house she unblocked freen and sent a single text: ‘‘ let’s work to stop them, but anything can happen between us anymore.’’ The reply comes almost immediately: ‘‘ ok but comes back to work to not raise suspicion.’’

When freen heard the ping of her phone, it startled her in the silence of the house after her little breakdown she decided to go home to drinks like always, when she saw becky name she was happy and hopeful , but the smile on her face was immediately gone when she saw the content of the text.

But ultimately it was better that nothing, so she take a shoot to have becky again next to her, she propose her to come back to work, when becky respond positively to her demands she was happy once again. She need to plan something to have her back in her arms.
Grinning she sends a message to nam she was sure her plan was going to work.

Becky on the other hands was planning everything to be as far way from freen, it was going to be challenging for them as they attracted each other like magnet. What was the odd the person she fall for was someone that her dad hurts, she was persuaded she was cursed.

In England Robert just signed the last document, all his fortune was to his child now, it was a matter of the time before his enemies knows that he doesn’t have protection anymore he knows what it was coming for him, so he left four letters for when he wasn’t here anymore  and hide them, he hoped that the people who he loved would be happy without him here with defeated sigh he looked at the sky. 

‘‘Hello?’’ 

‘‘The plan will be in motion in two week, you’ll open the dance.’’ Chris said grinning evilly he was gonna ruin them they didn't know what was coming for them with money everything was possible.
