When
they entered the hotel Jay was flung at by people surrounding him
asking question after question. He kept holding Cloes hand not even
caring anymore, if Ram didn't care neither should anyone else of
lesser value. Jay finally made an announcement telling everybody that
he'll answer they're questions at a better time and made his way to
the elevator with Cloe. They entered the elevator and Jay backed
himself in the corner.
"I'm tired of all this bull"
he said while rubbing his hand through his hair.
Cloe didn't say
anything but just stand there looking at him. She didn't know what
to do because if Jay left her here by herself she would be all alone.
"Come here," he said to her with a smile and pulled her
close to him.
She went towards him with a smile and kissed him,
until the door opened up.
"Well Jay you sure dont waste
anytime," Java said walking into the elevator followed by Siva.
Cloe grabbed Jays hand and kept standing next to him.
"What
i do isn't any of your business," Jay said not even paying
them any attention.
"Yea because we all know you got a lot of
business around here," Siva said making a smart remark back
towards him. The two girls starting laughing at the comment she just
made.
"What's that suppose to mean," Cloe whispered to
Jay so that she wouldn't be heard.
Siva noticed that Cloe
whispered in Jays ear and her laugh instantly went away. Siva always
fell for the big romantic movies and loved every minute of the soap
operas she watched, and when she noticed that she could have made
there relationship hit a bump she felt kind of bad.
"They're
just talking to talk," Jay said to Cloe reassuring her.
The
next level was Java and Siva's and they got off the elevator and
left. It was followed by the next floor with Jay and Cloe getting
off. They walked down the hallway and went directly to Rams room.
"I
dont wanna go in there," Cloe said stopping before Jay could get
to the door.
"It'll be fine all you have to do is go over and
sit right by my brother," he said to her.
He started opening
the door and walked in with her she followed Jays instructions and
walked over to Ved who had an extra seat right next to his and took a
seat.
"You okay," Ved whispered to her. He could tell
that she had just cried because of her water filled eyes and wondered
what happened.
"Yea im fine," she said to him.
Ved
took one more glance at her and turned back around and faced his
attention on Jay.
"Look as you know we're taking over the
city tomorrow, which means team 1 and team 2 or going to start for
the city and get everything ready at the stadium, me and Cloe already
set up cameras in the main center points of the city that are
necessary, but we will have to set more up. Team 3 and 4 will be left
here alone with Mega's team who will start the big project for the
city and when we have everything done in the city thats when the
planed attack will start," Jay said to everybody in the room.
The room was filled with about 20 people each taking notes as he
talked. This made Cloe bored for the very fact that she felt like she
was in school.
"Is there any questions," he asked
everybody.
A few people raised there hands and he answered the
questions there was a silence for awhile followed by the door opening
and Ram coming in. Cloe was in shock and didn't know what to
do.
"Ved," Cloe whispered he leaned back in his chair
telling her to continue.
"Since when did Ram get in a
wheelchair," she said back to him.
Ved turned around confused
as to why she was asking a question like this.
"What do you
mean he's always been in a wheelchair," he said to her.
A
cough was heard to get the attention back to Ram that was made by Jay
who was looking directly at the two of them.
"We're going to
take over that pathetic excuse for a city tomorrow...this is where it
all starts as you know we've gone through a long process to get
where we are today and nobody," he directs his attention at Cloe
while saying this.
"And i repeat nobody or anything will get
in our way from making our dream come true...is that understood with
everybody," he asked.
Nobody said a word the room was quiet
in fear of him. Cloe sat there uncomfortably knowing that he was
talking directly towards her.
"Very well then you can all
leave...but i need to have a word with Cloe," he said at the
very end of his little speech.
Everybody exited the room and she
was left alone with him; the guy that she hated with all her heart.
She was being forced to talk to him, to be in the same room with him,
and to even breathe the same air...she couldn't handle it.
"We
left on a bad note Clo and im terrible sorry that you've gotten the
wrong idea of me," he said to her making his way behind his
desk.
"I brought you here because you have sentimental (SP?)
value to me, i feel wrong for what ive done and i want to know if i
can have your word that you understand what i did was wrong," he
said to her looking her in the eyes.
Cloe looked away from him in
disgust how could he possible look her in the eyes and lie straight
to her face.
"Your good Ram i gotta give ya that much,"
Cloe said to him.
"Clo look we go all the way back before the
virus we use to be friends," Ram said to her trying his hardest
to get through to her.
"We were never friends and never call
me Clo again you dont know me anymore," she said to him getting
out of her seat and walking to the door but stopping halfway.
"Oh
and one more thing," she said to him with her hand on the
doorknob.
He looked up wondering if she would at least try and
talk to him.
"What'd you do to get in that wheelchair,"
she asked him out of curiosity.
"I feel down a flight of
stairs," he said to her making it obvious that he was lying.
"Oh
were you chasing my sister that's what it was wasn't it,"
she said to him with a smile.
He didn't say a word he just sat
there not able to do anything. She stepped out the room and saw Jay
waiting by the door.
"What time is it," Cloe asked
him.
"It's seven," he said checking his watch.
"I
felt like i was in that room for hours!," she said to him
walking down the hallway.
"Yea we kind of were," he said
laughing a little bit.
"Let's go back to my room i wanna
take a nap," she said to him going towards the stairs.
"Your
not hungry or anything," he asked her taking his hand with her
walking down the stairs.
"Nope," she said to him getting
off that level and walking on to her floor.
They continued to walk
until they got in front of her door and then Jay swiped his card and
walked into her room.
"I need something to sleep in,"
she said looking around the room. Jay was already lying in bed.
"There is a big walk in closet in the bathroom," he
said to her while rolling over on his stomach.
"Good idea,"
she said walking into the bathroom.
She looked into the bathroom
and there was the closet before there was nothing in there but now
the closet was filled with clothes that were adorable. She continued
to look around and noticed that there was a beautiful box that looked
very elegant she opened it up to reveal a beautiful set of pearls.
"Hey Jay look at...," she started to say but when she
looked up he was already there with a smile on his face. He took the
pearls and put them around her neck, and gave her a kiss on the
forehead.
"I didn't want you to think that you were going
to be left alone here when im gone so i thought that id give you
something so you could think of me whenever you had the chance,"
he said to her.
"Aww baby i love it," she said to him
and gave him a kiss.
They continued to kiss until they made there
way back to her bed where he laid her down gently. His hands started
to reach up her shirt but she quickly pushed them down and sat up on
the bed.
"Baby what's wrong," he asked her seeing if
he did anything that he shouldn't have.
"Its just ive never
done this before," she said to him feeling completely stupid
that she even said that.
"Dont worry about it," he said
to her and kissed her.
"Im not going to rush you into doing
anything you dont want to," he said to her and lay back down.
She did the same and pulled the covers up to her chin and laid her
head on his chest. Looking back at this moment 10 years down the
road…hell by tomorrow shed be thinking to herself what an idiot she
was...
