For Now And Forever

"I hate you!" I screamed, my blood boiling with anger, I turned around and started walking to the door but stopped in my tracks when I felt his presence behind me. I turned around and looked him straight in the eye. "Leave me alone." I spat icily and reached for the door knob. I opened the door but it slammed shut with a loud thud. I felt his hot breath on the nape of my neck, "Are you sure about that, Amelia? Cause your body sure does say otherwise." He whispered against my ear, his voice dangerously low. He started trailing kisses along my neck and up my chin and like the stupid person I am, I tilted my head to the side, giving him more access and closed my eyes, letting out a small moan when he sucked on my soft spot. He smirked against my skin and stepped away from me letting out a small chuckle. I groaned in embarrassment and opened the door only to slam it shut after stepping out. What is wrong with me?! ~~~ Amelia- Beautiful, friendly, kind and gentle are the words you could use to describe her. Alexander- handsome, ruthless, cold hearted and rude are the words you could use to describe him. But was he always this way? Could Amelia heal him of what ever he's suffering from? They were both total opposites of each other, but there's a saying that goes 'opposites attract', what if these to opposites really do attract? What will happen then? Join Amelia and Alexander on an adventure of a lifetime.

Chapter 2

The flight from Seattle to New York was an excruciatingly long flight, to say I was fatigued would be an understatement.

As I waited for Isabella, my best friend since childhood, I got a coffee from Starbucks and waited for her to pull up at the curb. Twenty minutes later she arrived and gave me a bone- crushing hug and saying how much she missed me, now to be honest I really did miss her, A LOT. She had moved away from Seattle two years ago to come live in New York with her boyfriend of 4 years. They love each other like hell and I'm surprised they aren't even getting married.

During the car ride back to Isabella's apartment we laughed, sang,

You did not sing, idiot! You were screaming!

My subconscious said. 'Oh would you shut up!' I screamed back at her in my head, of course. And here I was thinking she had gone away. *cue eye roll*.

Before I had come to New York I had already applied for a job at Knight Inc. and they called me for an interview for Wednesday, and that's why I came three days before to prepare for it.

On the way to the apartment, there were pictures of the infamous billionaire, Alexander Knight. There were so many pictures of him on billboards, benches and even posters of him everywhere.

As we reached Isabella's apartment, she helped me take my stuff into the house and helped me settle down. After a while of talking and laughing, Mark, Isabella's boyfriend, arrived with Chinese takeout in his hands. He pecked Isabella on the lips and then gave me a hug to which I accepted.

After hours of eating, talking, laughing and watching tv, I changed into my pajamas as I retired to bed, the fatigue finally catching up to me.

Today was the day.

My interview at Knight Industries.

I was nervous. I was scared. I was-

My chain of thoughts was interrupted by the cab driver telling me we had reached our destination, I thanked him as I paid him and hopped out of the cab.

Before me, stood the tall skyscraper that was maybe sixty floors high. It had black windows, it was tall, it was humongous and guess what? It intimidated me. I couldn't see the top from where I was standing because of its height, I had to crane my neck, but it was no use.

I entered through the main door after greeting the security at the entrance. I gawked at the beauty of this place, white marble floors, leather couches at the side of the room with a mahogany coffee table in the middle with business magazines in the middle, for elevators across the lobby with one saying 'PRIVATE' on a golden plate. The people here were walking with an aura that shouted professionalism, wearing the finest of clothes.

I frowned remembering what I was wearing, a black skirt that ended just above my knees, a white button up shirt with nude heels.

I spotted a desk that had 'receptionist' on it and walked towards it. Seated there, was a lady with red blazing hair and green beautiful eyes,

so much for my brown plain ones.

She was wearing a red pant suit that contrasted well against her white pale skin. All in all, she looked beautiful.

"Done staring?" She said in a voice that sounded like she was disgusted. Ok, I don't like her.

"Um, I just wanted to inquire where to go for the interview that has been scheduled for today for the PA position of the CEO?" I asked politely with a forced smile on my face. She looked me up and down then muttered something about me 'not even being qualified for the job' under her breath as she typed something on her computer and gave me instructions on what to do and where to go.

I just ignored what she said and continued on my way.
