Jay's POV
I heard the sound of door opening and my head instantly turned towards it and I couldn't hear anything because the only thing I was able to hear was my own heartbeat, There he was, The minute I saw him our moments together flashed in my eyes, echoing his voice, Even though I saw him before it was different because I did not expect it, But now I might have to see him everyday, that realisation suddenly hit me.
My eyes met his and for a moment everything stopped and then I heard that phone call in my head,"Jay, I cannot do anything about that , honestly I don't have time and I cannot care about you right now, please don't involve me in this mess"
I quickly turned away from him after that and forcing myself on something else,
He came and sat across me and was looking at me, But I did not spare my sight on him.
I reminded myself that this was just work, and he should not affect me, after all these years and especially after what he did.
He cleared his throat and started,
Keifer: "How have you been Jay?" As soon as the words left his mouth, I snapped my head towards him.
Jay: "Firstly It's Ashtine and secondly I think we are here to sign a contract and I wish it would be nice if we could only do that" I snapped at him.
I could see the change in his expression but I did not care.
Keifer: "I am sorry Ms Ashtine, Hope you both have read the contract and are you fine with terms and conditions? And would like to include any clause?"
Jay: "I have and I am fine with the existing one"
Sara: "So am I "
David: "Okay then we can proceed further"
He then passed the papers to Keifer, He took it and signed after a minute, after looking at me briefly.
He passed the papers to me and I took it from him, and our hands brushed slightly, I immediately moved my hand, because I couldn't afford to have any feelings for him anymore. I can see the hurt in his face but why is he hurt, I was the one who suffered.
David cleared the air by saying,
David: "Okay, Guy I'll will show you around and When would you guys like to join?"
Sara: "we will join from Tomorrow "
I nodded my head.
David: " Okay come I'll show you around"
Keifer's Pov
I came to office early because Jay is coming here today and I wanted everything to go perfect for her, I looked myself in the mirror and kept checking myself if was looking good.
After a few minutes, David came and
David: "They are here"
That's all he said and I was already nervous to meet it felt like I was going to propose to my crush, given the situation it was funny to even think that because she doesn't even want to see me, it hurts a little to even think that, both of us never thought we would end up in this situation. But here we are,
I calmed myself down and moved to the meeting room, I exhaled before opening the door, My eyes directly went to hers and my world stopped because in that moment all that I needed was her and I couldn't accept the fact she wasn't mine anymore and all leads to that incident, Maybe of it didn't happen we would have still been together.
My heart aches for her to see me as if someone she doesn't want to ever lay eyes on
But still I was happy to look at her face for a long time after years . I teared up a little but quickly hid it, because I still can't believe it is real after years of searching her, she was finally in front of me. I hope everything I can earn you forgiveness and maybe we can go back to, how we were.
She was right in front of my eyes yet I couldn't call her mine..
I took the seat across her and looked at her but she clearly avoided me which kind stung but it still gave me time to look at her, then even though David said not to talk about anything person, I couldn't stop myself I asked, how she was and she replied
Jay: "Firstly It's Ashtine and secondly I think we are here to sign a contract and I wish it would be nice if we could only do that"
I don't know why she changed her name, I know she must have faced many difficulties while moving her alone without knowing anyone, but did she face so much that she couldn't handle anymore and has to run away from her past from me?
I passed the papers to her and her hands brushed mine, For a moment I felt her, My Jay but she immediately took her hands, as if it burnt her and that hurt a lot because almost a year slipped my eyes, I remember the time when she used to say, That my hugs feel like home but now.
We are so close yet so far.
