One kismet night everything changed

2022, JUN, WASHINGTON... 8: 59am!

{ARIZONA POV }

With my hands branching out like the wings of a bird, I spread tiredly on my bed as I silently watched the harsh rays of the sunlight which ravaged my punch pink-shaded room.

I grimace my expression as I let a deep sigh, I battled not to think about the tons of emotions I'd have to face today -over, and over again till maybe the day I die.

I'm an empathy and that means; the ability and skill to discern or share the feelings of one another. Additionally, I can also perceive when someone is in deep danger or trouble. But, I won't have a clue of what it was or what's gonna be.

Somehow, it should be a great blessing and a gift of knowing what other feels inside of them. However, I had wished countless times that I was never born with that extraordinary ability for it seems like a curse to me and...

"I think you should stop meditating and get out of the bed, your gonna be late for work again," my subconscious mind piped to me and I tossed on my bed as I groan into my pillow.

Not like I'm gonna get fired, right? My boss is my boyfriend, but I think you wouldn't want to hear about him right now.

I suppose it's high time I get ready for work, or I'd surely get a hot slap on my butty from his hands which will lead to enthusiastic sex in the office.

"Pure demon!" I scoffed as I sailed out of bed, stripping off my blue transparent lingerie as I jogged to my bathroom and scrambled towards the shower.

Consequently, the esoteric sensations of the water trotted down my body the very second I turned on the shower and I revel in the warmness it brought to me.

But to note the variation of the water this time, I could feel the sensitive mania of the water on my skin and this gets me worried and nervous.

To be sincere, I have never felt this way -I mean I have before but this is too extreme for me to bear as I scrub my skin for a while. And then, I rinse the foams of the soap away from my body.

My heartbeat is intensifying, and my body is squirming. I swear couldn't wait any longer. So, I snatched my white towel to wrap around my naked body and I dashed out of the bathroom.

"Someone is in trouble," I mumbled, removing my towel after cleaning my moist body as I hurried to my wardrobe to figure out a perfect dress to wear.

-something bad is gonna happen in a few seconds, hours, or conceivably a few hours. But to whom?! I don't know.

I completely can't tell, I'm not a seer to know what it was but I can feel the eerie dangers inside of me. Wait, me?

"Could I be the one in danger or someone I know of?" I murmured, throbbing my hair frustratingly as I kept on raiding the clothes inside the wardrobe.

"Fuck!" I cursed, finally pulling out my pencil black skirt and I recklessly jingled my legs into it before putting on my red silk shirt too.

Hence, I hurriedly lose my hairy bun as I turned around and walked towards the dressing mirror to stylish my hair.

"Whoever it is, I don't think I can do anything about it -I just hope it's not my close buddy, so help me, sweet Jesus," I prayed loudly in my mind as I clogged my red long hair into a neat ponytail.

Surprise I used the word, Jesus? Oh, please, I'm not a church girl though but I feel... Everyone should run up to the heaven man whenever they need help because he's the only one who could solve our mysteries and problems most times.

"Perfect!" I breathed out, surveying the silk chocolate shirt I had worn.

Inwardly, I was reckoning on how the shirt suits me so well as if it was made especially for me while my grey eyes droved down to my destructive curves.

I smirked, yet amidst the anxiety and tension that was bottled inside of me. I walked back to the shoe rank to snatch out my black 3inches shoes as I quickly wore them into my feet.

Then, I spun to the dressing table and grabbed my black purse before leaving my room.

Presently, I can truly tell you that my presence is being filled with the dirty and also decent feelings of my neighbors as I walked out of my apartment.

"Goodbye Arizona, F*ck your day!!"

"I will Charlie!!" I turned to wave back at my closest neighbor as she reclined in her window.

Luckily for me, when I got to the roadside, I caught sight of a white painted cab which was riding towards my way and I flapped my hand for it to slow down.

"Macedonia company!" I said, pulling the door as I stepped into the chilling interior of the cab.

"Good morning, ma'am!" The cab driver greeted me sweetly, and he drove away while I simply nodded at him in response.

"God, I hope today ends well!" I muttered.

★★★★★

Twenty-five minutes later, the cab arrived at the ineffable building of the company and I gently came down.

"How much is your money?" I asked, unlocking my purse to fish out a few dollars for the driver.

"20$, ma'am!" The cab driver answered, and I rudely snapped my eyes at him.

"Are you being serious right now?" I asked with a stern face and he nodded with his mischievous grin.

"Hmm, that's not so reasonable of you, driver," I mouthed but I knew he heard me.

I looked down at my purse again as I managed to fish out 34$ and I threw it recklessly at him.

"I'm not one of those girls who you fool with your kindness for your flirtation," I said afterward and he glower at me.

"...you can go to the clubhouse, you'd surely find a pretty good hole to dig in, I already know your strategy man," I added, and instantly, the cab driver sobered up.

I'm sure he wasn't expecting me to catch sight of his aims, I wish he knew how much I was suffocating with his lust emotions around me.

Thus, I walked away from his cab as I sauntered toward the company.

"Arizona! Arizona!! Arizona!!!"

I was about entering to the company when I heard these abrupt callings, they were fleeing into my ear and I curtailed on my track.

My ears did well to perk up the voice and I knew instantly that it was June, my best friend, and co-worker in the company.

I flipped to see the young blonde racing towards me, she was heavily panting as she got to my standpoint and I mope.

"Hell! Why were you running like that, June?" I asked, placing my hand on her shoulder to calm her down as she struggled to catch her shaky breath.

"W-why weren't you picking up your calls, I called you overly forty times, Arizona!" She told, and my eyes widened at her statement.

Without a waste of time, I bombed into my purse and I pulled out my cellphone as I checked out my caller log.

Hell, it was true but then, I crushed the cellphone keyboards further and I found out that my cellphone had been on silent!

"I'm so sorry, June. My cellphone had been on silent, care to tell me what happened?" I solicited, placing my cellphone back into my purse while my eyes were in June.

"Earlier today, the boss called for a gathering among the staffers and every other worker from each department in the company, and guess what?" June gushed out, her brown orbs crammed with the enthusiasm to spill every word.

"What?" I asked curiously, taking a step closer to her.

"The CEO disclosed his fiancee to everyone! Arizona, your boyfriend disclosed his fiancee to each and everyone in this goddamn company!" June cried out, but this time with a tightened grit.

"What?!" I blurted unbelievably at her words, my eyes dilated in incredulity as I wobbled back.

For a moment, it felt as if the world came to a standstill as I stood numbed to my spot. I could inwardly feel my legs shaking and my head was pounding as if someone was slamming something on it.

"No, this can't be true, no, no, no this can't be," I shutter, and my eyelids want to brim but I held it all back.

"If you don't believe me, Arizona. You can go right into the company and discover the truth for yourself, and look over there!" June urged, conveying me the eye signal so I could glance at the company's entrance and I slowly did.

And there were my hostiles, they were five in number as they laughed in mockery and snickered at me as they high-five each other -those were the other female workers who were envious of my closeness with the CEO.

"H-how could Roman do this to me, how?" I whimper, curling my head back at June with a sullen face and she grimly lowered her head.

I struggled not to let the tears fall, at least not in front of my enemies as my heart painfully shattered into destroyed pieces.

Now, I understand why I had those uneasy feelings at home. I was only hinted by nature that this was coming but I never knew and had no idea.

With a sharp sniff and my eyes rolling. My shoulders spruced up like a controlled and undisturbed woman.

I turned to walk away from the company at that moment, I surely need fresh air to breathe before I could comprehend all that is going on because right now I'm damn confused.

"Arizona, you don't have to go!" June called out after me, and I abruptly paused.

Not because she stopped me, but I stop on hearing the usual footsteps which belong to no one else but... Roman.

I promptly turned back to glimpse at the entrance and behold I saw him walking briskly towards me. An impenetrable face held, and his hands which I once yearned to touch were stuck inside his pocket as he got to my spot.

"Ari..."

"Get lost you son of a bitch!" I spat out angrily, cutting him short of his words.

And then, his face snapped west with a thick crack and various gasps from each angle around us flooded into a riot.

The air around us became intense -I had hatefully slapped him hard on his goddamn face.
