Just Maybe

Tasha's point of view.....

  I walked out of the bathroom in my towel to see Catherine sitting majestically in my bed. She had a smudged look on her face which made me cringe. This is my room and she had the audacity to come here and sit like it's her own. She might be my brother's girlfriend but that's where it ends. I can't believe I felt bad for treating her the way I did. She is obviously not who I had thought she is.

  The image of lovey dovey acts she and my brother had throughout dinner had made me realize that maybe, just maybe, she and my brother can work and I will have to be free from her. 

   I am not stupid and I know my brother has feelings for Catherine and that he loves her deeply. And that Catherine is aware of that fact too.

  I ignored her and walked to my dresser. I need to get dressed and go to bed. I have obviously had a long day. If she sees how I am ignoring her she will eventually leave. 

  "Don't pretend that I am invisible, Boss"

   Catherine spoke without warning causing me to nearly jump out of my skin. I turned to her with furrowed brows ready to ask what the hell is her problem. But she didn't give me a chance.

"I think it's really obvious how your mind has been working lately, my dear. You are afraid that you won't be able to stay away from me so ignoring me so what you can think off "

She said, smiling sweetly.

   I frowned and rolled my eyes in disbelief. Her words caught me off guard because I thought I had done a great job of ignoring her. I shouldn't be surprised though. Anyone who knows her better should be me 

"You are making no sense, Catherine. I am trying to avoid you because you annoy the shit out of me, what more do you expect me to do? Your presence will only put me at unease and I have my reasons to dislike you, so yes I am avoiding you and please leave me alone, alright?"

   I screamed, clearly irritated by the constant smudge look on her face. My annoyance increased tenfold when her smirk turned mischievous and I saw her eyes shine. I knew what she was thinking. She probably thinks she can get a reaction from me by annoying me. Not this time. I may be tired and exhausted but this is one battle I cannot afford to lose. I will have to show her that I was once her boss and also the boss of what happens in my life. 

  "You can't possibly avoid me, Tasha. It's not a crime to love you. We both connect and the spark between us is natural. Why won't you let us work out?"

She was pleading.

Oh, she is such an idiot. So blind that she couldn't see that there was never us and there will not be

"You are a fool, Catherine. I do not love you. Don't ever forget that"

     Her mouth fell open in shock and then anger. The way she opened her mouth was so cute. I wanted to kiss her right then and there. But sadly, it's not what my body desired. I had to resist the urge, and instead, I stood still as she marched closer to me until her face was inches from mine.

"Do not insult me by telling me that you do not love me, you liar!"

I huffed, rolling my eyes. She is such a drama queen.

"I am going to prove you wrong, Tasha. You and me, we will have a beautiful future together. Just you wait"

  I wanted to laugh but held myself. I have never in my life seen someone as delusional as she is. What exactly is she going to prove to me? That we are meant to be? She should keep dreaming.

  "There will never be us, Catherine.

I coolly said and her eyes blazed,"Shut up! Just shut up! You lie to me and say that you don't feel anything for me but your actions say otherwise"

I crossed my hands over my chest and narrowed my eyes. This girl must seriously be a fool to think she can manipulate me.

"What do you want me to say? That we will work and that I love you. You know my stand right time, Catherine. You told me you were okay with flings, what changed?"

She really needs to tell me what changed. I was obsessed with Jenny but not this much. The fire I see in her eyes is ready to consume anyone if care is not taken.
