Kristen's pov
I had just called my best friend reminding her about the dress she will be wearing as my bridesmaid for my wedding that would be coming up in two weeks. I was so excited about it that I wouldn't stop talking about it. Ace and I have been together for 8 years, We've been friends since we were five, I have liked him ever since. I met my best friend Diana when I was 13, I introduced her to Ace and the three of us has been close since then.
Diana had encouraged me to tell Ace how I feel about him, I didn't want to because I was scared that he might reject me and it might ruin our friendship. On my 15th birthday, I told him how I felt, and he told me he feels the same way about me. I was so excited and I had my first kiss right then. We've been together ever since. He has an amazing job, so do I. We've made alot and we believe this is the right time to get married and be together officially.
As I walked into the kitchen to make myself some toast, I heard my phone ring. " Hello" I answered
"Kristen sweetheart"
"Mother" my Mom and I are not really that close. She and my dad got a divorce when I was just 13. I grew up with my dad and she had a new family and she was just about 4hours40minutes away, but she hardly visits. She was around for my graduation and that was the last time I saw her. Apparently, dad told her I was getting married and she wanted to be there.
" how have you been my dear? I have missed you so much "
" I'm sure you have" I said with a fake laugh
"Don't be like that, you know I have" she said
" yet, you don't want to see your own daughter. When was the last time you called?"
I wasn't sure if I should be mad because I haven't been calling her either.
" I have been busy and you know it and I know you've been busy too thats why you haven't been calling and all. The wedding and also work, it must be tiring" I sighed knowing she was right. Work has been really exhausting and I also have to prepare for the wedding and its just too much stress.
" why did you call mom?" I just wanted this call to end.
" I just wanted to say hi to my daughter, we haven't spoken in a while. I really miss you, when I come over, I hope we catch on and a lot of stuff and..."
" mom, I get it. Let's do that when you come over next week okay, but right now I gotta go." I replied as I put the bread in the toast.
" okay Kristen, I'll talk to you later okay? I love you"
" okay bye" I quickly ended the call. I was already late for work and I don't want my annoying boss to yell at me.
I went back into the room to get dressed. I put on my heels and grabbed my bag. I picked up my phone from the kitchen slab, picked up my toast and walked out of the house.
It's just a 30 minutes drive from my place so I'm pretty sure I'd get to work early.
I quickly got down from my car and ran into the building. King's enterprises is one of the most successful in the whole of the country.
They own different business and companies in different states.
" you are late"
My boss said as I entered into my office. He is sitting on my desk obviously waiting for me. I picked up my phone to check the time.
" I'm only 2 minutes late sir"
" Still late" he yells
" I'm so sorry sir"
" you know Mr King is around and he wouldn't tolerate this nonsense"
K-I-N-G is around?? Oh wow. I have heard about how rude and arrogant he is but I have never met him before.
" I had no idea sir im so sorry"
" well, your sorry wouldn't change anything. You should work twice as hard today so we can all get a good review from Mr King today.
Uh.. of course, you should tell that to the rest too and just leave my office already.
"Am I clear miss Jones?"
"Yes sir"
"Good" he finally got up from my desk and left my office.
I know I had a lot of work to do today, and I have to finish them before lunch so I can see Ace today. I haven't seen him in two days, and we haven't really spoken either and I want to spend the rest of the day with him.
I resumed work immediately, I just couldn't wait to finish up. I had to make sure I made no mistake because I know how Mr. Rodriguez can be, he would made me start over. Before I knew it, I was done. A little after lunch time but I'm cool with it. I forwarded everything to Mr Rodriguez email, packed my bags and walked up to his office. I knocked on his door, and he asked me to come in
" uh I'm done sir and I'd like to leave early, its important."
" you finished quite early, I'm not surprised" I faked a smile, I wasn't really in the mood for any of this.
" okay I have received them, you can leave but you have to be here early, we will be having an important meeting with Mr King tomorrow, he had called for it himself"
" I won't be late, I promise" I turned on my heels and left his office, down the elevator. I drove out the building and went to Ace's place. He told me he would be working from home this week so I didn't bother calling or texting him. I stood right in front of the door, I was about to knock when I realized its open.
"Ace?" I called from the living room but no answer. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed myself a coke from the refrigerator. I dropped my bag on the chair and walked up the stairs.
" Ace?" I heard muffled noises as I walked up to room.
" yeah.. " are those moans????
I pushed the door and I find my best friend riding the hell out of my fiance.
"Ace...." I yelled and Diana stopped and looked at me.
" oh my God Kristen" she says as she got off him and covered herself with the sheets.
" baby..." I hear Ace say and the tears in my eyes threatened to drop. Right then, I knew it was over, I was speechless, I just took out my engagement ring, walked up to them and placed it on the bed and I walked out of the place with tears dropping from my eyes.
