When you are the villain of your own story

Jason's P.O.V.

"What happened? Aren't you supposed to be on the date with Owen?" Aiden asked, he was concerned.

"Do you think Owen is already tired of me?" I could break down at any moment. I'm not sure of anything now.

"HUH?" I'm not sure what he was thinking. "What is this about?"

"I feel like Owen does not like me anymore. You know like they show in those dramas. Suddenly a person becomes really busy while in reality, they are just tired of each other then starts ignoring their partner and next thing you know they break up." I was choking.

"What!" he was still confused.

"Owen has been just like that for some time. He does not pick up my calls and rarely talks to me and rarely spends time with me. I think he is over me." I almost cried.

"Have you gone crazy?" he looked angry. "Aren't you the one who said that Owen had a lot of work?"

"Yes. But today, too. We met after two weeks. Two fucking weeks. We were in the middle of the date and he got a call from his office and left." I was trying my best to prove my point. "If he still liked me, then why would he leave in the middle of the date on Sunday for office work?" I added.

"BECAUSE THERE COULD BE AN EMERGENCY!" he was messaging his forehead.

"Hey! Don't shout at me! I also have work but I still make time for him whenever he asks. Because he is my priority." I was getting angry.

"Do you even hear yourself? First, how do you know you are not his priority? He might have made time today to go on a date with you while he had a lot of work. He might have to work late at night." He was kinda making sense. "And secondly, you get to go whenever you wish because you are the boss here. There is no one giving you orders. You own the Wolfe enterprise. And I take care of things when you are not around. That's not the case for Owen." He added.

I don't know what to say to that. "So, you mean Owen still likes me?"

"DUH!"

"So, what do you suggest I do?" I asked.

"For starter do not disturb Owen for today, unless he calls or texts you first. And finish these paper works" He said pointing at a huge pile of paper on my desk.

"Can I just text him after some time?" I tried to persuade him with puppy eyes.

"JASON!"

"Okay, Okay. Fine mom. I'll complete the paperwork." I replied throwing my hands in the air.

"Good boy." What the fuck did he just say? But before I could do anything he was out of the room and I started to check the papers.

I can't describe how hard it is to not contact Owen. I finished all the work, took a shower, and started watching six shows on Netflix but could not finish a single episode, then I took a shower again, and now it is 1 am, I'm lying on my bed and keep checking my phone and putting it down. I keep writing Owen messages and then erase them because I don't think I should send them.

'Oh, FUCKIT and FUCK THAT STUPID AIDEN!' I said as I typed a message to Owen.

'Hey'

No response. He is not online, maybe he is asleep. Well, he'll text me back tomorrow, I guess.

Why can't I fall asleep? I've been twisting and turning the entire night and It's four now. My eyes feel heavy and are burning. 'Fuck! Just sleep. Stop thinking you stupid asshole!' I said to myself. I wish my mind had a switch, if so, I would just shut it down to get a little slip.

Eight am and still, I have not winked. My phone rings. I look at the screen, it is Owen. He is calling me.

"Aa O aa aa" I clear my voice before picking up the call.

"Hello!" I said.

"Hey, is everything all right? You texted me at one in the morning. I'm sorry I was sleeping." He was frantic.

"Ya…ya…everything is all right," I replied, I was trying to hold my laugh. "I just wanted to talk to you," I added. I really miss those days when we used to talk late at night. I know it has been only a month but still, I miss them.

"Oh, Okay." He sounded like he was relieved. "I'll talk to you later then. I'm getting late for work." He added. And then he hung up.

What was that about? I'm gonna fucking kill his boss. I just need to find out the house Owen's working on and the asshole owner who is making him suffer. 'But at least he called me as soon as he read the message. He still likes me.' I said to myself and passed out.

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP, SLEEPING BEAUTY." I heard someone say. He was shaking me. My eyes were so heavy, that I could not open them. It even trying to open them hurt. "Wake up!" the person pushed me off the bed and I hit my head on the floor.

"OUCH!" I said as I jolt up rubbing my head. "WHO THE FUCK DARE TO-". I was cut off by the person.

"YA…Ya…ya…we don't have time for that. Get ready, we are getting late." Aiden said. This son of a bitch.

"I swear to God one day I'm gonna rip your throat apart." I tried to threaten him.

"Do you even know what time is it?"

I looked at the clock. It's eleven.

"Yes!" Aiden said. My head was aching so much. It was killing me. "We have to check the new villa that was being built by the river. We were supposed to be there by eleven and look at you!" he said with an irritated tone. "Who's the person who always talks about time-management and being punctual?" he added.

"Fine! I'll be quick. Can you get me a coffee? My head is killing me." I said.

"I'll give you fifteen minutes." He said as he storm off. Jeez who was saying that I have no one giving me orders yesterday? I said in my head.

I got ready quickly and now I'm on the way to the villa. I brought this land by the river with an amazing view a couple of years ago and I'm building this villa there. It's going to be the most beautiful property that I own. It's almost completed and we are just going to do the final check.

We reached there by 11:35. The engineer came over to me as soon as I step outside my car. He first welcomed me and then started explaining things as we walked around the properties. Aiden was taking notes. God that coffee really helped a lot. I would not be able to understand a single word if I did not have one strong coffee before coming here.

The engineer lead us inside the villa once he was done explaining everything that was outside. All the work was almost done only some final touches remained so the villa was almost ready.

My jaw dropped as soon as I entered the hall. Owen was there. He was standing behind a middle-aged man who was giving orders to everyone. Owen was holding a folder and noting down everything that the person said. It was like he was checking things off of the checklist.

The engineer kept explaining things and I tried my best to focus on him. After a while, the middle-aged person left and Owen was alone.

"Um… can you excuse me for a minute?" I said and started to walk toward Owen.

"Hey!" I spoke in his ear from behind. He was so lost in the work he did not notice me or my scent. He jumped in surprise.

"Hey!" he said with a big smile as soon as he saw my face.

"What are you doing?" I asked with a smirk. Trying to flirt with him.

"Working!" he said with a smile and in a duh tone.

I was smiling from ear to ear. but then I realized. If he has been working here, then the work for which he left in the middle of our date, the work he is so busy with that he can't even talk to me is all because of me. His boss that I hate so much is me!
