Chapter 1

Claire's POV

"Ugghhhh, why this cafeteria is always so noisy?" I asked, with my both hands on my ears. "Of-course, this place will going to be noisy. After all, it is the lunch break." Allie said, laughing. I narrowed my eyes at her. Before, Allie could say anything, Anthony started speaking.

"I seriously need some fresh air. I am going out of this noisy place. Any one wants to join." Anthony asked, with a bore expression. "No." We all said, in unison. We in the sense, I, Alice, Aaron and Amy.

"Whatever." Anthony breathed, and then left. We all started laughing and gossiping. Aaron went to give the order, while we searched for a table.

Suddenly, I felt something hot on my hand. "Aaaahhhh!" It was me. Someone, dropped their hot fucking coffee on me. "What the hell?" I shouted. "I am so sorry." That guy spoke.

I looked up in his eyes. His eyes. His eyes, were mesmerising. They were dark blue captive eyes. I have never seen such a beautiful pair of eyes in my entire life.

But, I ignored all these feelings. "Can't you see and walk?" I asked, not giving him a chance to speak anything.

I didn't wait for him to answer any fucking thing and walked back away.

------------------------------------------------------

I heard my alarm going on and when I woke up...I was all sweating. I took a look on my alarm and it was still 5:00 am in the morning. Shit, I again dreamed of him. Why can't I forget him?

Tears started forming into my eyes. Everything in front of me, started becoming hazy. I started crying again. "Why can't I forget those blue pair of eyes?" I whispered to myself.

I don't want to remember him. Why I loved him? Did he ever loved me back? If he ever had loved me then, he would have never leaved me alone. Like this. I hate him. I so fucking hate him.

It's been two fucking years. Since, Barry Brown was gone missing. The police also couldn't find him. He was all gone. His wife and his children were all in a miserable state. We had to move on by that incident. Our lives started becoming normal. We returned to our normal lives back.

I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom, to get freshen up. Unfortunately, the red mark didn't go from my neck. It seemed like a hickey. Like, someone has sucked my fucking neck so badly. And, now it has got a red mark. But, as usual I ignored it.

After, I got freshen up. I wore a drak grey office dress with black heels. The dress came till my knee. I looked cute and elegant in it. I completed my look by keeping my hairs down and applied some pink lipgloss on my lips with a coat of mascara. I was all ready.

I always kept my look simple.

There was very rare chances of me doing extra makeup. The rare chances could be any occasion or any party.

Allie, shifted to London as she got a job over there. It's been two years. We don't live together anymore. I am still in New York. I have a great job, here.

I got a job of an assistant in a big company. The boss there is in his mid 40's. He had those dark black eyes with black shiny hair. He looks too young for his age. He treats me like his own daughter. I really do love my job.

And, I am satisfied with it. I am an independent 21 years old woman. My salary is good. I have made new friends. I renovated my apartment to a new one with my savings.

It's time to move on from him. That's a different thing...that I never wanted to move on from him. After all, he was my true love. I loved him with all my heart.

His dreams are making me crazy. I am going crazy. It's not like, I don't want to move on..but, his dreams are making me more moron. I want to move on from him but, his dreams and my past is not letting me do that.

On the way to my office, I called my best friend Alice. "Hey, how are you?" I asked, with a sigh. "I am amazing. How is your work? Are you sad or something babe?" She asked. I could imagine her face, while asking me that.

"I-I just don't know. I am getting dreams about him. Allie, I love him. I still do. I am not able to move on from him. It's getting worse." I said, while in the verge of crying. "Shhh...listen to me. I have a good news for you." She said, in a hurry. "What's it?" I frowned.

"I got a week off. So, I am planning to visit you. And we can talk about it. Till then, go and have some fun with your Brandon and his friends. When I'll come in New York, we will enjoy bitch!!" She exclaimed from the other side of the call. I giggled. "Yep!! I miss you." I said and hung up the phone.

I parked my car in the parking lot and went inside the big corporate building. 'The Johnson Enterprises' was written on the top of the building. I really am lucky that, have got a job of an assistant. While walking on the aisle, I wished 'good morning' to everyone.

I made a cup of coffee for my boss, the way he likes it and went inside my boss's office and wished him 'good morning' as well with a cup of coffee. "How are you Mr. Johnson?" I asked, with a smile on my face.

"Oh dear, call me Fredrick. Don't call me Mr. Johnson, it makes me feel like I am too old." He laughed. "Yeah, Fredrick." I said, smiling. "So, you will have to arrange my meetings today. I have got a lunch with my wife today...so...remind me at sharp 12:00 pm." He said, handing me the files.

"Sure, don't worry." I said and went out of his office. While in the way to my cabin, I met Brandon Jones. Brandon had light green pair of eyes with dark brown hair. He was muscular and anyone could see his flexing arms through the shirt.

But, I can't compare Brandon with him. I always tried to do it but, it never succeeded. He always came first in my mind than Brandon. When I first got a job here, Brandon was the first one with whom I became friends. He is fun loving, caring. He works here as an accountant.

Every girl here in this building knows Brandon. They will even kiss him, if given the opportunity. Brandon introduced me to his friends. His friends were also good. I always forget the pain and the work. I really love there company.

"Hey!" I wished, smiling at him. "I am as usual..fine." Brandon rolled his eyes at the word 'fine'. I chuckled at it. "What's wrong?" I punched his shoulder lightly making him scrunch his nose up. I rolled my eyes at his reaction.

"Today the day is so freaking boring. I want to hangout. I want my life back." He said, wiping away his imaginary tears. "Aww.." I laughed loudly attracting some of the attention. "Shhh..." I shushed him and asked him to come with me in my cabin.

I sat on my chair as he sat on the opposite chair with a bore expression. "What are you doing today in this afternoon?" He asked me, twitching his corner lip. "Today I am busy. I don't know, if I'll even get to eat anything." I said, shrugging my shoulders.

I collected some files from my table and started doing my work. "I have an idea." He said, pressing his lips tight. "What?" I raised a brow at him. "We can have lunch in you cabin and can go out tonight in a club or something." He said, excitedly.

"Not bad. I am in it." I said, clasping my both the hands together. We both laughed at our stupid talks and then he went back to his work. While, I arranged the meetings.

The day passed at work. It was already 12:00 pm when I glanced at the clock. I messaged Fredrick saying, he has got a lunch with his wife. After, the lunch he has got only four meetings. I was keeping my files properly, when few people barged in.

I looked up and a smile appeared on my face. The bitches were here. Carlo, George, Audrey, Jasmine and Brandon. My stupid funny friends. They all gave me a sheepish smile and I poked out my tongue at them. "Guys, slow down!" I faked screamed.

"They all were pushing me." Brandon pointed his forefinger at them. They all narrowed there eyes at him, while I bursted out laughing. They also joined me except for Brandon. Who was glaring at us. "What? Come sit." I said, getting up from the chair.

"So, Claire? What's going on? We came to hear that, you and Bran were planning something?" Carlo asked, putting a mouthful of salad. "Yep!! We are all enjoying ourselves tonight!!" I said, excitedly. "I am so excited." Jasmine said, with an excited smile on her face.

"I'll get the freedom today." Audrey said, laughing. "Yeah. But, no revealing dresses." George said, narrowing his eyes at Jasmine. "Excatly!" Carlo continued. "Shut up!" Audrey and Jasmine said in unison but, shut there mouth instantly, when they got a glare from there boyfriends.

Audrey was Carlo's girlfriend and Jasmine was George's girlfriend. I and Brandon started laughing like there is no tomorrow but, got glares from them. I gave a high five to Brandon, while laughing. "Yeah laugh like hyenas." Jasmine said, rolling her eyes.

"Stop laughing and eat something. We are hungry." Audrey said, eating a chip. "I can eat from the last night's meal." Carlo said, giving a wink towards Audrey. "I can do the same. You know, Jas." George said, keeping a hand on her knee.

"Get yourselves a room idiots!!" I shouted at them making Brandon laugh. "Don't you have a girlfriend Bran?" I asked, poking him on his arms. "I didn't get one." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I can find you one." I said, slapping his shoulder lightly. "I have one right beside me." He said, smirking towards me. "Who?" I asked, dumbfounded. Suddenly, everyone started coughing. I looked at them with a raised brow. And, then it hit me.

A tint of red went through my cheeks. "Shut up." I murmured. They bursted out laughing, making me blush. Atleast, I can try take my mind off of my past. We continued eating our lunch. After the lunch break was over, we went to our respective works.

I went in meetings with Fredrick and did some work. I soon got involved in my work. The darkness also appeared in the sky. It was 7:00 pm, when I met everyone in the parking lot. We decided that, the boys will come and pick us up from my place.

Audrey and Jasmine came at my place to get ready. We took a shower one-by-one and soon started deciding the clothes to wear. Audrey found a black lacy sexy short dress. It came up to her mid-thigh with a slight slit on the side. She opened up her hair with the dress.

She completed her makeup with a winged eyeliner and a double coat of mascara. She applied dark maroon lipstick and wore black heels to give highlights to her look.

Jasmine found a black colour round neck short dress. The dress was backless and had long sleeves of net. The sides of the dress was of net, which showed her skin.

She also kept her hair down and wore high black heels. She did the same makeup as Audrey.

Whereas, I found a golden colour

sexy elegant deep V neck spaghetti strap bodycon short dress. It came up to my mid-thigh with a small slit on the side.

I left my hair down curled with a pair of golden heels. I completed my look with some light peach colour lipgloss and a winged eyeliner. I applied double coat of mascara and did some highlight on my face.

We all stood in front of the mirror looking at us with an 'awww'. "Ommggg!!" We three screamed excitedly. "The guys will be dead!" Jas said, with a smirk. "George will fuck you hard tonight." I said, laughing my ass out.

"Rey, don't laugh. It goes for you as well. Get ready for the punishment." I screamed, slapping there butts. There eyes went wide. "Shut up bitch!!" They shouted and were about to bit my ass, when there was a hard knock on the main door.

"They are here!!" I ran towards the hall and opened up the door revealing Brandon, Carlo and George. They wore there casual tshirt and jeans with there rough hair. That, made them look sexy.

I gave them a cheeky smile but, there expressions were different. Jas and Rey also came beside me. The expression of the boys were funny as hell.

There jaws were touching the floor. "Nope...not happening." George said, shaking his head. "Go and change Audrey." Carlo seethed. "Claire?" Bran was shocked like hell. "Huh?" I smirked at him. "I don't want any guy looking at you." Bran pointed at me.

We girls looked at each other with a mischievous smile on our faces. The boys looked confused until, we poked our tongue at them and ran out of the house. We heard them shouting our names but, we girls already sat inside the car.

After some time, they also joined us in the car and they drove off. "This is the party time Bran." I whined, shaking his shoulder a bit. "You don't understand. There are creepy guys outside. And, I don't...I mean, we don't want anyone looking at you all." Bran said, looking at me intently.

"This time last." I said, kissing his cheek lightly. "Awww..." Those idiot friends of mine screamed. I glared at them making everyone laugh. "Whatever." I murmured, rolling my eyes at them.

It was 9:00 pm, when we reached the club. We went directly to the bar to get some drinks. "Tonight is in our name." Like this, we cheered and drank our drinks.

I danced to the every bit of the song and grinded myself on Bran not realising that....

I was being watched by someone.
