First of Jesse I

*10 years later*

It's midnight but I am still outside and sitting here in the dark part of the park. The city was still busy and many people passed by in the street. I saw couples too, they are being lovey-dovey, holding each other hands and laughing together. I think if that day didn't happen then maybe I am not like this. I was always thinking nonsense about that emotion called "Love" and I was looking for the best example of that. I laugh to myself, I am a romance writer but I myself didn't experience such thing.

I stand up and I was about to leave when I feel my phone vibrates. I look at my phone and I saw Matthew is the one calling so I pick it up.

"Hey, Matt what's up?" I said.

"Jesse where are you?" he asked.

"I am here at the central park why?" I answered him. Maybe he wants me to do a favor.

"At this time!?" He said and obviously, he is shocked.

"What's the big deal with me being outside? I am a guy anyway?" I stated. Well, I am a guy no one will rape me here.

"Tsk! You are so stupid! I'll pick you up so don't leave, I have something to tell you" he said.

He ended the call and as he said I didn't leave.

After a few minutes, I saw Matthew's car. Don't ask me about his car, I don't know anything about cars but he told me his car is

BMW. Uh? I don't know what that is. Anyway, Matthew went out of his car and then walked toward me.

"You are so stubborn! Why are you here outside at this time?" he scolded me.

"You're being overprotective like my parents" I pouted.

"Well, if you can just be aware of your surroundings," he said and he release a heavy sigh.

I really don't understand them, I am a guy but they treat me like a little girl that if my parents didn't watch me then I'll be lost. For Pete's sake, I am a 25 years old guy!

"Let's go," he said and we walk to his car. We enter and he started driving. I wonder where we are going so I ask him.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"At my condo." He briefly answered me.

He was completely concentrated on driving. On our way, I was wondering why this guy hasn't had a girlfriend? Is it because of his career? Oh by the way guys. I forgot to tell you that Matthew is a famous actor. Before I left, Matthew told me that he want to be an architect. Now I don't know what happened and he enter the world of showbiz.

He stopped the car and we walk inside the building where his condo was located. Matthew is literally rich now, he has a big condo and cars, and he almost has everything.

We are now inside his condo and I sit on one of the sofas here. "So what is going to tell me again?" I asked him, he sat across me.

"You are a writer but you haven't published any story you're making in a publishing company right? you only posting it on social media," he asked me then he smirked.

"Uh, yeah why?" I asked because I am confused. Is he mocking me for being a freelancer with an unstable salary?

"I talked to a friend and he told me that his father owned a publishing corporation. I told him if he can work with them, then he said yes but you have to go to the company tomorrow if you want to publish your stories" he explained.

I can't believe that Matthew would do this kind of thing for me. I was happy because I have my own work.

"Are you in?" he asked me.

"Of course!" I exclaimed.

-The next day-

We are now in front of the building that Matthew was talking to.

"Let's get inside," he told me and we started walking.

The hallway wasn't empty but all eyes are on us. Of course, who wouldn't look at us, I am with a famous celebrity, and I hope that my life was not in danger.

We enter an office that I think is supposed for the manager.

"Good morning Sir!" Matthew cheerfully greeted the guy sitting in this office.

"Good morning Matthew" the guy greeted too

"He was the one I am talking to sir," Matthew said and he pushes me forward to face the manager.

His eyebrows furrowed and I know that he was confused.

"Is he the one that you're talking about? I thought he was the same age as yours, I didn't know that he was still a teenager" the manager said

I was surprised by what he said just now, me? A teenager? Do I look like one? Hell, I am not a teenager! I was even a month older than Matthew.

"But kid, even at your young age you still manage to make a great story. Matthew sent me a sample of your work and you possess the perfect skill to write a beautiful story." He complimented me but don't take it as a compliment. He called me kid!

I saw Matthew smirking at me and I know that he was mocking me. I know he will not help me with this kind of situation so I speak for myself.

"Sorry sir but I am not a teenager. I am 25 year old graduated from Harvard University and my major is Literature." I explain with my bass tone of voice.

This guy was utterly shocked.

"Really? I am sorry for the misunderstandings" he excused himself.

"It's okay sir. I don't mind it" I speak politely

"But you do look like a teenager, anyway I'll introduce you to your editor. Please wait for a while" he said then he called his secretary.

After a while, we heard a knock at the door.

"Come!" the manager shouted.

A guy entered. He was tall and he has glasses, I stare at his face but I was shocked when I recognize him.

"He'll be your editor from now on. He is Mr. Klein one of my chief editors." The manager explained

My mind still not functioning well because the guy I had run away from 10 years ago was now in front of me.

"I'm Oliver Klein," he said bluntly and he extended his arm to shake hands with me.

I remember the past. It was like this, except for his reaction. He was smiling at me back then but he was showing no emotion now.

Didn't he recognize me?

"I-I'm Je- I'm Red, Red Wright." I stuttered and I grab his hand to shake.

"Nice to meet you" we both tell each other.

It's a disaster to meet you. Again.
