Heart of the Past

Amelia POV

The preparation for the annual party had being stressful. no break for me because my boss wanted a perfect job done so I decided to put all of my. The planning committee had also been helpful even though the director of finance still threatened me with his words.

It was only a week left for the annual party but I had made sure everything was available. The hall had being fixed, the colors and decorations have being picked out. I knew when Dylan saw everything, he’ll be impressed.

“Sir, you have your outfit appointment with Kelly’s store this afternoon” I reminded my devil boss who had done nothing but made my life a living hell. It was only two days to the annual party.

“Right, call my driver to get the car ready and you are going with me” he said and I raised my brows in protest which I doubted he sees.

” can’t he call Anna for that?” I asked no one in particular.

“Me?” I questioned on purpose.

“Yes , did I stutter ?” He asked and I shook my head.”good get yourself ready, we will leave in five minute”. I walked out of his office, make the call to his driver and got ready.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Few minute later we left the office, the receptionist glared at me as we passed by and I glared back.

We reached Kelly’s store few minutes later . the owner whose name is Kelly welcomed us and lead us to the private room for his suit fitting. The woman looked like the replica of kim Kardashian except for her dark curly hair.

“Hello there Dylan , your suit is ready” Kelly greeted him and kissed his cheeks . Dylan smiled at her and he went with her to another room.

I looked around and the place screams money. Most of the clothes looked expensive and when I checked the price tag, I almost shouted out but I composed myself and looked away. Few minutes later , they came out and Dylan began to test his suit. I just sat down staring at how good he looks.

“How is this suit Amelia?” He asked and I blinked to make sure he was talking to me.

“Erm, i.. you look handsome” I quickly covered my mouth as soon as the word came out of my mouth. I looked when I realized what I had said and he smirked at me “I mean you look good, the suit fit you perfectly”He smiled and look at the mirror .

” where is Anna?”Kelly suddenly asked .”why didn’t you bring for the fitting and who is she?”she asked with disgust in her tone.

“Kelly, who I bring is none of your business and this is Amelia my personal assistant.” Dylan angrily replied.

“Am sorry Dylan, just wondering why she isn’t here because you always bring her” Kelly expressed her feelings but Dylan gave no reply and continued to look at the mirror. Just then his phone rang and he picked it up and walked out.

Kelly faced me and sneered. She walked to me and looked at me like I was her prey.

“Do we have a problem?” I asked because I was getting angry at her already.

” oh yes we do have a problem bitch” she sneered and that’s got me angry.

” did you just call me a bitch? “I asked getting ready to punch her beautiful face.

” yes, what are you going to do about it bitch?. she said the word again but I kept my calm, I didn’t wanted to cause any fights because I might be blame for it so I smiled.

“I don’t have to exchange words with you Kelly, the bitch knows herself” I smirked and sat down.

“Get the fuck off my couch , get your dirty body off my property!” she yelled and pushed me off the couch. I landed on my butt .”stay away from Dylan, ” she warned, “he doesn’t give a fuck up about your likes. Anna is my friend and I’ll eliminate people who dare compete against her”she threatened and walked out of the room leaving me on the floor alone.

Just then Dylan walked in and saw me sitting on the floor.

“What the fuck are you doing on the floor” he asked in disbelief.

I stood up and face him.

” does it matter?, because you never believe me ” I sobbed. I didn’t want to cry but the situation didn’t help. Dylan didn’t say anything but instead he embraced me, I cried all my heart out and after a few seconds, I stopped crying and couldn’t looked at Dylan because I had ruined his clothe with my tears and i knewv he would hate me for that.

“Now that you have stop crying, care to tell me what happened?” He asked sitting on the couch and crossing his legs.

I explained everything to him and he listened.

“Oh really, Kelly did that?” He asked and I started at him in disbelief. ” Because the Kelly I know will never do that “he said defensively. ” We’ve known each other for years, she is not a bad person”

“Then why did you ask me? Why did you hug me like you cared!!?” I shouted at the top of my voice

“Don’t you dare raise your voice at Amelia” he pointed a finger at me and I pushed it away.

“Or what? You are going to call me a selfish bitch all because I left you years ago. Grow up Dylan am not in high school anymore and you are not in college. You know what am done with your stupid remarks,” I paused and looked at him. “I’ll take the bus home see you tomorrow” I took exhaled deeply after pouring out my mind . I picked up my bag and walked out of the store not bothering to look back at him. I’ve had enough insult for one day and I don’t know what I’ll do if someone pissed me off again.

I began to walk home but mother nature decided to make it worst by making the rain fall on my unhappy self. There was not a shed to stand under so I walked in the rain. I cried as I took every step in the rain and also thought about my life.

A car parked beside me and I didn’t bother looking at it until Dylan came out of the car.

” go away Dylan, it not like you care” I said to Dylan who walked to me with an umbrella.

“Get in the car Amelia” he ordered and I pretend I didn’t hear and continue walking.”get in the car “!! he yelled but I didn’t answer him.” Please”he begged .

“Leave me alone Dylan”

“You will catch a cold if you don’t get in now” he stated

” don’t pretend like you care Dylan. you are a jerk a big one ” I replied him .

“Amelia please, I care about your health . just get into the car” he begged but I didn’t answer him and walk away . he walked to me and grabbed my hand ” am sorry !”he shouted and for the first time I could see the sincerest on his face.” I am really sorry Amelia, when you left I spoke with Kelly and you were right. I had no ideal, I thought you were lying .” I pulled away from his hand and looked at him as the rain drops on his handsome face.

“Am a selfish bitch remember , you didn’t believe me” I cried and he embraced me.

” I’m really sorry Amelia, get in the car” he pleaded and I followed him not arguing any further .

When we entered the car , he removed his suit and draped it on my shoulders. I rested on his shoulders and fell asleep.
