Episode 11

Calling it off.

Scarlett.

After the whole week of work, not that is was a real work. I was learning how to love. Who does that. Me obviously.

But this was supposed to be my time of rest. But that didn't seem like it as when I woke up to the warm morning sun it was with a nice head ache. I took some time to rest and rest myself as I took note of my environment while I sat on my bed.

Yes am in my room.

I got up and headed to the bathroom to wash my face before I my chores before someone starts making noise. I still didn't et that man, even after spending 1monthwith him I knew nothing about apart from the fact that he always took advantage of every opportunity he saw to hit o me. It was frustrating also because my hiccups sold me out all the time. There was this weird feeling I got whenever I was next to him, made me feel a bit tense and I didn't like what made me feel tense. In other words, I hated him.

As I was about to pick a rag for my clean from one of the rag racks he had up

stairs my phone began to ring. I picked it out from my pocket and wasn't surprised to see who was calling.

"Nams... I said with excitement.

"Scarlett... Scar..." she sad with a tone I knew very well she was implying something that could never happen.

"Naomi. What?"

"It's been one month you've staying with Mr. freaking handsome Price"

Understanding what she was saying and it made me smile and a smirk formed on my lips.

"I know you are smiling and there's a smirk on your face, so don't tell me that nothing happened" Naomi said with a cocky voice. Still don't know how she does that.

"Nothing has happened and nothing will ever happen. Just because we are staying together doesn't mean we should be sleeping together. I have no feelings for him and I would never" I stated firmly.

"What makes you say that, you never can know".

"Nams. I am 100% sure that I can't fall for him. He is everything am not looking for so don't stress it. I rather die than fall for him. Even if he was the last man on earth and I needed to fall in love to go to heaven I rather go for a girl or better still go to hell than fall for him" I spat and Naomi laughed seriously.

"Take it easy girl. He can't be all that bad" Naomi said

"He is and this is one month experience speaking. Okay girl I have to go I have some stuff to do". I said as I ended the call.

I picked up a rag, put on my music and started cleaning before I would be over late to work. Because once Andrew was ready he would take off to the office and that means some trekking for me. As I was done with cleaning, I went to take my shower and get ready for work I heard someone barge into the house. Well it sounded like it. What the hell was going on?

I had to know for sure what was going on. I quickly went down stairs and found a woman looking around my age or a bit younger. She was was wearing a blue crazy jeans, and a black tank top. He hair was wavy and blonde and she packed it in a ponytail.

Who could she be?

As if noticing the expression on my face she called out o me.

"Hey, am not one of his girlfriends" she said

"Okay"

"Is he home? If he is tell him am here" she said in a commanding tone.

Okay, first of all am not his maid. Okay maybe I am, technically.

But I didn't want to go down that road so I took a long breathe and sighed. As I turned back to go upstairs and call him I saw him walking down the stairs.

"Oh hey, there's a..." I was saying but he didn't let me finish.

"I know" he said as he walked past me brushing my shoulder.

Rude

"Now tell me, who barges into someone's home like that? Rude much, don't you think so?" He asked.

"For His majesty Andrew Price to grace me with his presence, I was just showing how excited I am" she said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"Pride full" Andrew said

"Aren't we all" she said then a smile formed on her face.

At first I just thought they were just talking but that smile said other wise as they hugged each other. They were siblings.

His family did have a weird way of greeting, I said to myself remembering his other sister Stephanie, who appeared to be a bit older than him. In every way.

"Emily Price, it's good to see you" Andrew said as he hugged her tightly

He must have really missed her.

"You to Andy" she said as she patted him on his back then released him from her arms.

"2 years and not even one call. Not even a text. You couldn't even have the slightest courtesy to reply my text. I even had to book appointment with Pamela to see you" she said hitting his chest with a frustrated look.

"Okay, I apologised for that and also..." He was saying then she cut him shut shifting her attention to me.

"Sorry for how I barged in and talked to you when I came in. I had to keep my act together. Emily Price. Nice to meet you" she said with a warm curt smile. Just like that of Stephanie. And for Andrew,well I'll never know because I have never seen him smile apart from the one he has when he is being flirty.

"Scarlett Pierce. Nice to meet you too" I said stretching out my hand and then we shook hands.

"And also sorry for the drama. I am currently studying theatre art in college . Can't hold us" he said and I smiled.

"No one can mix that up. So you have any other interests?"

"Music and dancing" she replied

"Finally, a Price that shares the same interests as I" I said with a smile.

"You don't sing Pierce, you yell and for the dancing, you just sway your hips" Andrew said with irritation in his voice. What's with him?

"Well dancing is movement of the body and I think that swaying of my hips cuts it. And singing is a feeling so it comes out a I feel" I said while Emily laughed.

"Whatever am going to the office. See you later sis" Andrew said and was about to open the door till I called his attention.

"What about me. Just wait there et me grab my purse"

"Don't worry am not in the mood to ride with you. Don't be late" he said then open the door and walked out.

Emily and just looked at each other and after women seconds we laughed.

"Looks like someone had a bad dream. So looks like you are staying?" I asked

"Yeah, but not here though"

"Why, this is for big brothers house" I said putting emphasis on the big brother.

"Well Andy does not really lie having people around, so am going to be staying in a hotel. I just came to say hi first" she said

"Okay. I would really like to stay here and talk more about this but then I'll be late for work. But before I go I will like to know if any other Price is coming to town?" I asked hoping none where coming, I has already seen t much family drama.

"Let me guess, Stephanie beat me to it. Damn. Don't worry I'll beat her to it next year". She said.

"What's happening?"

"It's Andy's birthday n Friday"

"Really?"

"You didn't know?"

"Not even in the slightest"

"Oh. Am pretty sure he intentionally didn't,t tell you so you won't disturb him".

"If you say so. We'll I ate to leave but I have to get going. Have a nice day" I said and took my leave.

Andrew

As work was not enough problem forms I still had Scarlett on my mind. I could swear that I have never heard anyone talk about me like that. Like some horrible blood sucking monster with no heart or emotion. On thing is for sure,she was never going to fall for me even though I was the last man on earth. As I was still in my thoughts my best buddy called, Peter.

"Yo man,I've calling for 5 minutes new where the fuck where you at?" He complained.

"What,you have not, let me..." I was saying as I checked my phone and saw 6 missed calls from Peter.

"Sorry man, I just had a lot on my mind." I said with a sigh.

"What's wrong"

"Scarlett. You know what am calling it off. This crazy plan of revenge. Am done".

"Why, what happened?"

And I told him everything she said this morning to Naomi while she was on the phone. But she hadn't known it. Maybe if she saw me she would has said worse.

"Seriously dude it's not funny. Am done with any Pierce trouble" I said but some how Peter still found it funny. As I was still talking on the phone with Peter someone barged into my office. I was about to curse at the person but as my eyes meet those grey eyes looking like they meant business as always, I kept my mouth shut.

"Peter I'll call you back" I said and ended the call. I cleared my throat so I could speak well and I tried to hide any form of fear.

"Dad" I called with a smile.

"Andrew" he said with disgust. As usual.

"What brings you here dad?" I asked as politely as ever.

"Last I checked I own this company" he said

"How can I forget. You left behind a huge portrait of yourself in my office, more visible than an ant. And last I checked, I am the CEO of this company"

"So what you are saying. That I need to book a appointment with the CEO of my company who happens to be my son" he said as his pitch rose.

"No that's not what I..."

"That's enough, forget about. It's always useless arguing with you. That aside. I came here to see if things have fallen apart. Look I even brought a doctor just in case the sight made me faint or have cardiac arrest. But luckily you haven't made a mess" he said and I felt a little relieved.

"Yet" he said as if he read my mind. "Please take a sit" I said

"No thank you, I don't know how many sluts have sat there the past month". He scanned the place looking irritated. Then seconds later he fixed his gaze on me.

"So I heard you have woman who works here staying at your place. Something Pierce?" He asked

"Yes Sir, but it is not for the reasons you think. I..."

"Save you breath. Don't bother explaining it to me, your the CEO now so you can do what you want. But watch your back. Not like I care, but I hear saying it makes it easier" he said then adjusted his suit and turned to leave.

"She's not a problem dad"

"Yet"
