Chapter 1 First Meeting After Breakup

Chapter 1

Ugh.

Passing by the streets weeks before Christmas while the hustle and bustle just begins is the most annoying thing for Noel.

It's tragic that someone with such a festive name turns out to be someone who despises festivities.

Festivities, namely Christmas.

Noel deftly avoids the men bearing Christmas trees and women carrying the decorations meant for those trees.

So much, that she found out easy to weave her way out of the crowds without even touching or bumping into any Christmas decorations or trees or anything brightly colored.

Her phone rings and she picks it up.

Turns out to be her boyfriend for a few months now.

"Hey Harvey" She shouts into the phone as she passes a noisy family bearing everything she's avoiding.

"Yes. I'm on my way home." She pauses for a second and stops short in the middle of the street.

"What? You're breaking up with me? For?" She visibly trembling

"Not liking Christmas? Do you think I don't have a reason for that?" She whispers into the phone with a solemn face"

"Bye then. Don't forget to pack your decorations along with you. I'll give you enough time before I'm back so you can leave comfortably. I think I gave more into this relationship than you did anyway." She shouts into the phone and clicks the call off.

She stands there in the same spot for a few minutes looking as though she'll burst into tears anytime soon.

But she adjusts her bag and walks into a coffee shop and takes a seat.

A waiter approaches her and takes her order.

Soon after, she has a steaming hot mug of tea in front of her.

She sips her tea silently and watches the individuals and families pass her by.

A couple holding hands catches her eyes and she watches till they round the corner.

She stands up and heads to the cashier. After payment, she steps out of the cafe right into the hands of a man loaded down with elf clothes and props.

She immediately brushes herself down and apologizes. She looks carefully at his face and see he is breathtaking.

Her face turns red and she blames it on the cold weather while she wraps the coat around her closer just a bit more and helps the man up and picks up his things scattered all over the floor for him.

She apologizes again and leaves him watching her as she leaves.

Leaving the unknown man behind and left him staring at her till she went out of sight.

He adjusted his loads and went on his way.

He kept glancing at the corner she went down the street till he can't see it again.

Few minutes of walking later, he arrives at the place where the props and elf costumes he is carrying are needed.

"Shawn. You're so late. They've been waiting for half an hour"

"I'm sorry Mr Woods. I had a little accident." Shawn apologizes not very sincerely

"Your acting got way better" Mr Woods says with a laugh and takes the costumes from him.

"It should." Shawn says and laughs too

"You should settle down. You do this every year without even taking payments."

"It happens to fall into my free time every year and I just help out. My Job doesn't do much around Christmas. Settling down is not as easy as you put it to be you know?" Shawn replies while gathering the fallen elf ears.

"But you have to start somewhere."

"Don't you get tired of it? You say this same thing every single year."

"Christmas is a time for family and loved ones. Christmas is no fun without someone to bake for, cook for, decorate trees with and get gifts from."

"I have my Mum for that" Shawn says and laughs

"You also say that every year. I hope this year will be different." He says with a wink and takes the costumes in for the elves to dress up in.

Shawn smiles and turns to leave. As he turns around, he sights a woman who is being pushed away by someone he couldn't see.

He walks over just like a few other people and he recognizes the woman to be the one who bumped into him earlier.

He can faintly hear the words being said. More like, the words the man was saying.

"Don't come back here. We break up and I take the apartment." He says and pushes her down the stairs. Along with her belongings.

"I own this apartment not you nor your new girlfriend. Get out instead, you filthy man." She gets up and makes to push him away

"I'm filthy? Says the woman who hates Christmas for a reason that is just an excuse to not be happy." He shouts back

Shawn walks forward and pulls the woman up from where she lay on the floor.

She looks up at him and leans on him with her face buried in his suit.

Shawn looks up and says to the man

"You're a disgrace to Men."

He helps her up and leaves with her.

Her Clothes are rumpled and dirty so he gives her his jacket to cover the patches of dirt.

They leave together and walk to a nearby cafe with Shawn's hands around her shoulder.

After they sit, He orders for a cup of tea while she just asks for water.

She takes off the jacket and gives it back to Shawn.

"I appreciate the help but I can't help you with anything Mr?"

"Oh, my bad. I'm Shawn. Shawn Wright."

"Oh. I'm Noel Sanders. Thanks for the other time and I'm sorry for the bumping earlier too." She apologizes

"Are you okay? Do you have where to go? I can call someone to pick up your things."

"No thank you. I'll be fine on my own. You've done more than enough. I can't be indebted to you anymore." She replies.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what are you going to do about your apartment? I heard you say you owned it." Shawn asks

She looks at the cup of water in front of her for a few seconds before replying

"I'm going to take legal action against him. I own the apartment and it's in my name. I won't leave it to a cheating jerk like that" She voices out.

Shawn looks at her, sighs and looks outside while trying to mask the look on his face.

He sees laughing families and bustling people with the Christmas spirit and smiles. He looks back inside and notices she has her eyes on him.

"What?"

"You seem to like the aura around." She states.

"Yes. Christmas is my favorite time of the year."

"Really?"

"Yes. Countless good things happen to me during Christmas."

He notices her face fall for a second and her defense are back.

She drinks out of her water and sets it back down.

She gets up and dusts her clothes.

"Thanks a lot for today. It was fun meeting you. Please don't mind me for not paying my bills but I think I lost my purse. Thanks again."

Shawn is taken aback by her abruptness. He wonders if it's something he said.

He lets her go anyway.

"My pleasure." Shawn replies and gets up too.

She doesn't wait for anything else and strolls out of the cafe into the street and down to a corner that leads God knows where.

Noel is left to her thoughts as soon as she leaves Shawn. She begins to wonder where she'll stay for the night.

He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces. And he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire, who would do everything to show her that she's no longer important into his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aching for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfill my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..'

Andrea Deciding that I was going to skip a day at work so I could have first time sex with my boyfriend seemed like the most absurd decision I could ever make. Or at least that was what I'd thought. Until I'd walked in on my said boyfriend cheating on me with some redhead and decided to get my revenge by losing my virginity to his wealthy billionaire father instead. Crazy, right? Trust me, I know. Like that's not enough, things take a drastic turn for the worst after I realized I was in love with him and pregnant with his child. Before I could get the chance to come clean about every including my feelings formhim and the pregnancy, he finds out about my trickery. Alejandro's not one to condone being lied to and deceived so he immediately tells me he doesn't want to see me again. So what do I do? I pack up and leave the country. But it seems like the universe isn't done with us just yet. . . Alejandro I should have known better than to get involved with someone way younger than me. It was something I've never done before. But like the saying goes, there's a first time for everything. The first time I met Andrea I was captivated by her beauty. More than that there was this innocence in her that called out to me like a moth to a flame. I ignored all the warnings in my head and went after what I wanted. And what I wanted was her. Unfortunately what she wanted was revenge against my son. I told myself that it had to be some kind of mistake. There was no way she had been playing with my feelings and planning some silly revenge this whole time. But she had. It had taken a surprise visit from my son for me to find out her true intentions. Even then it had been hard to believe it. But I couldn't deny that she'd fooled me real good alright. So naturally I cut ties with her. And that's supposed to be the end, right? Wrong. Turns out that our story was never destined to end just there. . .
