The Relationship Contract

I was a sunny afternoon, Here I was laying with my top off, The heat was something I couldn't understand, It seemed to multiply as the hours went by, I groaned as I tried to fan myself. The doorbell had started to go off continuously and I groaned, struggling to get off the bed, The ringing wouldn't stop but I knew who it was, It was Lisa! My bestie That girl had zero patience I ran as fast as i could from my bedroom hastily dragging a top over my head.

"I'm coming i screamed at the door" why in the world can't she be patient, I mean i could hear her ring the bell "Lisa! What the hell!!" I yelled and let her in, She came in grinning sheepishly at me, I seemed to forget what I was going to say as I looked at her, she was dressed rather gorgeously. She had a short blue mini skirt and pink crop top on, matching it with white sneakers Lisa has always been a beauty guru, with her long blonde hair graciously flowing behind her and her bright blue eyes shinning, and her long legs with the perfect shape. She just seemed to get it right. I mean many at times would we go out and it just seemed like I was invisible next to her with they way the guys rush her but I mean, I wasn't jealous or anything, I was proud I had such a beautiful person I called my best friend. Lisa wasn't just beautiful physically but she had the most beautiful and amazing soul ever, I mean that lady would literally try to see the good in everyone that it pissed me the fuck off. She settled into the couch, and I started to wiggle my eyebrows, She raised her eyebrows as she watched me do my thing "Whats the occasion?" She smiled and blushed "i am going out on a date with mason" I squealed with delight as I heard her, Lisa had been crushing on Mason since forever and it just seemed as though he had a blindfold covered in his eyes, I mean who wouldn't love Lisa! So I chipped in and played the Matchmaker with them. "why didn't you tell me earlier? "I asked She smiled shyly " I didn't know how to, but how do you think i look" I took a second look at her "Girl, Mason isn't going to be able to take his eyes off you" I tell her, I mean I wasn't even lying, She looked so damn good even I couldn't take my eyes off her She smiles and blushed deeper, Her phone beeped and she brought it out of her bag to check it, I could see her smiling, She looked up from her phone "l I'll be out in a minute, he's picking me up" I smiled and walked her to the door blowing her air kisses, i watched as she hopped into the car that pulls up on the driveway I felt slightly sad for myself, I am Kimberly Blake I'm 5'4ft, hazel eyes with a full plump lips. I am a brunette with naturally long curly hair, I have a fairly good skin but I mean, I have to work to take care of my expenses here that I have no extra time to do all the ladies stuff, Lisa has literally been begging me to take a break but I do Not have that liberty. I am a 21 year old college student and a part time waitress, I literally have no social life. Single with no hopes of getting a boyfriend, I sighed as I walked into my tiny kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and went back to my room. I spent the whole day reading as my final exams were approaching, Like I mentioned earlier, I have no social life well at least I won't have to worry about college after my graduation, I pulled off my top again and checked my phone for any new messages but as always NONE, I mean I keep forgetting about my nonexistent social life that I expect messages. I sighed and dropped my phone on the bed, concentrating back on my studies. The next morning I over slept, I immediately checked my alarm to see if it was broken but it wasn't, So how the hell did I over sleep.? I checked the time and saw that it was past eight "Oh no, Oh no, Oh no!" I muttered like a chant and hurriedly stripped off my clothes, stepping into the bathroom to have my bath, I didn't even know when exactly it was that I slept off all I can remember is waking up now. I had a cold bath and walked out of the bathroom, bringing out a faded jeans and a white top, I tied my hair into a bun and grabbed my bag from the couch, I didn't have the time to get something to eat as I made my way to the door. "Oh my car keys" I rushed back to get it from the table and ran out. I made my way into my car and drove off to college I was definitely going to hear it from Miss Candice!

I parked my car and made my way to class, "oh shit miss Candice would be so mad" i muttered as I walked towards the lecture hall.

I rushed into the classroom and hoped Miss Candice wouldn't call me out but No! She decided to call me out "Miss Blake, I'm pretty sure my class started by 8am!" She said sternly and I gulped down whatever it was that was stuck in my throat, slowly looking at her "I am very sorry miss, I had a little problem on my way here!" I say and she looks at me as though she wasn't buying anything I said "I will not tolerate this again, Miss Blake!" She gave me a look that made me shrunk where I was standing, I nodded and walked to find a seat for myself, I finally got one and I took a seat, Well the lecture seemed to last forever, I wasn't listening to anything she was saying as I hope and prayed it would eventually come to an end, I was already starving but it eventually came to an end, Gosh i was starving. After a long while of miss Candice talking nonstop, lecture eventually seemed to stop and I breathed a sigh of relief. I walked out of the class and went straight to the cafeteria, My stomach had begun to make those weird noises it does when it wasn't given food. I made my way into the cafeteria trying to get a glance at Lisa then I saw her waving her hands trying to get my attention, I smiled and walked towards her, I totally forgot about Lisa and her date "Hey lover girl!" I said as i slid into the empty seat opposite her, she blushed and giggled "Hey babes, would you stop calling me lover girl!"She says and I chuckled because she didn't mean it "I would only stop calling you lover girl once you tell me how your date went!" I say and she sighs "okay okay I'll tell you all about it, I had the most amazing time with him, Like I mean he is literally such a gentleman, We went to the movies and afterwards the beach, I mean he was so calm that I couldn't help..." She paused and I started to wiggle my eyebrows "You couldn't help but fall harder for him, right!" I teased her and her pinks grew a pink shade, I gasped at how true it was, She really did fall for Mason "Kim!!" She whined and I raised my hands up in surrender "fine, but you have to keep telling me all that happened" I say to her and she giggled as she went on about how mason treated her like a princess i was genuinely happy for her. I mean I haven't gone on a date in months but I was really happy she is, especially with someone she's had a huge crush on. The day went by quickly and I was at work. oh yes i work to support myself and my parents. "Yes, Mr Harry your order would be ready soon!" I say and smiled at the old man that was a regular here, He never missed Coffee at this time, I went over to give Mr Harry his order but instead I stumbled on something and it fell on a man's clothe. "Fuck my life!" I squinted my eyes as I stood up, gradually apologizing to the man whom I just spilled coffee on, "I'm so sorry sir, I- It was a mistake- I really, Oh goodness " I held unto the hem of my apron as I clumsily tried to clean his clothes but i instead I was making even more of a mess. I gradually looked up to see the man I had spilled the coffee on, Looking at the man who was yelling at me, I was stunned he was the most beautiful man i had ever seen with his dark short hair, his eyes were so green that I couldn't look away. I stared deeply into his eyes and i was mesmerized by it, this man had to be 6'5ft tall I thought. His well defined jaws and subtle beard, A well perfected and pointed nose to match, He looked like he was carved by God, I mean He looked like a piece of art send from the heavens, I watched as his mouth moved and I found myself unconsciously licking my lips, No lies here! This man was HANDSOME! I could see his lips move angrily and I suddenly became aware of my surroundings, The manager of the coffee shop, Mr Jack came over apologizing profusely to the man but he wasn't having it. "I-Sir!" I tried to speak but the man snapped his head angrily at me, looking at me with those mesmerizing green eyes that made me want to melt and shook his head The man stormed out of the cafe angrily and my manager looked at me and said "Kim, you're fired." I couldn't comprehend what i just heard Did i just get fired? i asked myself.

Jace's POV

The sound of my phone blazed through the walls of my room, I pulled a pillow and dragged it over my head as I grunted in pain, I sat up to check who was disturbing my peace and I saw that It was my secretary's call which was weird. Sarah didn't call me when it is not important so I took the phone and placed it against my ear "Mr Norman the plan didn't go through, the man wouldn't budge he still insists on publicizing the photographs "she said and my eyes widen, Damn this man, I mean can't I just go out and have fun without a damned issue? These psychopaths are constantly trying to make my life a living hell. They want to turn my existence into some reality show. "Okay give me a minute I'll try to get it sorted out and also cancel all my appointments for today and send me his details, where he stays, what he does, who he goes out with, everything, I want everything now!" Itold her and cut my call, Groaning as I pressed the pillow unto my face, This damned man!! Why wouldn't this man leave me alone? I mean I know my life has been pretty interesting these last few months but I deserve a break from the world and it's madness, These damned paparazzi didn't seem to think of it that way, instead they were all up in my business I muttered as i made my way into the bathroom, I stripped off my boxers and stepped into the cold shower, after waking up with a news like that, the least i could do was take a cold shower. while taking my bath I remembered what happened. Flashback I was in the club, it was Ricky birthday my cousin and we were out celebrating drinking and having fun in a super private club, Some ladies were sitting opposite us and we hit it off instantly, i had danced quite intimately with a lady I can't remember, some pictures got taken and now i had to make sure it didn't get to the public, my life had been a mess prior to this and now I don't need the damned paparazzi buzzing their microphones in my face. I stepped out of the bathroom and cleaned my body, I wore a brown khaki shorts and white fitted top, I picked up my phone to call my secretary, "Sarah, send his location to me" I told her over the phone and cut the call, Immediately calling Bruce my middleman I have known Bruce ever since high school, My family was the big and affluent family that needed bodyguards and all of that fancy bullshit, We were always targeted by crazy people which led to me meeting Bruce, He was one of my bodyguards child and we hit it off immediately, After about two ring he picks up the phone "Jace, what's up?" I heard him say over the phone, I could tell he was just waking up "That damn man would not budge so I need you to meet me at the address I would be sending to you now, Is that alright?" I say " I will meet you there!" He responds and I attempted to cut the call but his voice stopped me "But what are you going to do?" He asked me and I smiled "I'm going to handle it my way" i told him and cut the call I looked at my phone and heard it beep, Sarah had just sent his location and all that I asked from her, I smiled and sent Bruce the got the information needed to trace him and where he is to meet me. I got a message and it was Bruce telling me he got the message, I headed downstairs towards the kitchen and took an apple, I didn't like to skip breakfast but now that I was skipping it I could at least have a fruit, I walked towards my car and hopped in, Setting my gps to one Armstrong street, Once I got the directions I started to drive to Armstrong street, on getting there I decided to stay somewhere hoping i would see the photographer somewhere around but I knew it would be tiring to just sit in the car and wait for the photographer to arrive so I looked around and saw a coffee shop, jackpot I could still have a cup of coffee and wait for Bruce and maybe if i get lucky see the Photographer. I parked my car and strolled into the coffee shop. I sat in the coffee shop for some minutes and ordered a cup of expresso, I checked my phone and saw that Bruce had texted me to let me know he was on his way coming. I glanced around the coffee shop and was fairly impressed, Growing up in a family where we were not allowed to be this free all we had to do was go for dumb and boring dinners and overly expensive restaurant I sighed and Looked outside the window and something caught my eyes or maybe someone, It was that damned photographer! I grabbed my phones and got up to leave my eyes still not leaving the man who took pictures of me without my consent, but instead a girl threw a cup of coffee on my clothes, My skin burned from the sensation of the hot coffee that I knew it was going to leave a mark on my body, I hissed loudly in pain and hurried glanced outside to see if i could see the photographer, but he was gone, This time i was past raging with anger, I had the photographer but lost him due to the carelessness of a dumb girl! looking at my shirt that was soaked with coffee. The more she tried to clean it the more mess was being made! "Leave me the fuck alone!" I yelled at her but she seemed-like she was in a daze Great!, A girl who is mentally unstable The more they apologized the more furious i was I looked at the girl how can someone be this beautiful, Yet so stupidly dumb? I asked myself and grabbed my phone Storming out of the little coffee shop!!
