WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 11 – 20
Writer’s pov ?
Thanatos sighed and adjusted on his chair for the hundredth time today…he passed Clark a glare.
Clark doesn’t seem to mind his glare, he continued talking.
“…and that’s how I left her in the hotel room, sht, she was so clingy..do you know how annoying that was?”
Thanatos cleared his throat.
“Clark!”
Clark stopped talking and stared at Thanatos, from the shape of his mouth..you can tell he’s still ready to talk more.
He’s just waiting for Thanatos to finish his words, so he (Clark) can continue.
“Aren’t you tired?”
Clark shook his head and wanted to continue, but Thanatos spoke before he could.
“Jasmine’s restaurant created a new dish today, I was supposed to taste it..but I’m pretty tired now, can you help me with it?” Thanatos asked him.
He banged on the table with a wide grin.
“That’s an offer I would never say no to, where’s the dish?” He asked and look around as if he’s gonna find it in the office.
Thanatos smirked, he knew this would work…he just wanted something that would shut Clark up.
“I can ask Elvis to bring it in and…”
“No, I’ll locate the kitchen myself” he said and got up..then rushed outside.
Thanatos laughed, he didn’t bother to stop him since he wanted him gone…also, Elvis knows him.
“Phew! Finally, time for work. But before then, let’s send my baby a hello” he said.
He reached for his phone and sent Jasmine a quick message..he had collected her number from Adele earlier this morning.
*Hi, baby, how are you feeling? I hope you’re getting better now? I’ll be home early today..stay safe.
He smiled and pecked his phone, before started working.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 11 – 20
Adele’s pov ?
I groaned as the customers are giving their unending orders, my hand is hurting from writing so much already.
“… lastly, we’d like rice pudding and three sausage rolls” she said.
“And a vanilla flavored ice cream, please” one of her kids added.
“Alright, I’ll be right back” I told them with a forced smile.
I shoved my pen back in my pocket and left to get their orders…I headed towards the kitchen.
On the way, I saw Elvis carrying a tray of food and I raised an eyebrow at him.
“Ah… you’re serving? Where are all the waitresses?” I asked.
“They’re attending to other tables, no one’s free” he replied.
I looked around, he’s right, all the waitresses are standing next to tables..taking orders from customers.
“Why aren’t you attending to anyone?” He asked me.
“Well, I am” I showed him the orders I just took.
“Alright, hold this”
He handed the tray to me and snatched my notepad from me, he stared at it.
“I’ll take this to the kitchen, you go deliver this food at table 9”
“But…”
“Go on” he said and rushed off to the kitchen.
I sighed…I wasn’t supposed to work too much today, but there’s a rush and we’re kinda short of waitresses..since Jasmine isn’t here.
“I guess I won’t be getting off work early too” I grumbled.
Just when I accepted my fate and turned to go deliver the food, I bumped into someone… pouring everything on the tray on him.
Shocked gasps filled the air, soon people gathered around us…
“Holy sh*t!” He exclaimed.
“I’m sorry, sir, I’m really sorry…I wasn’t watching where I was going” I apologized.
He raised his head and I choked on my spit. I thought Arthur is hot, but this guy is hotter…his brown eyes captured my gaze and I couldn’t look away from them.
Goodness…am I changing my crush now?
“…hey!” He snapped his fingers across my face and I came back to reality.
I blinked a few times, a little bit confused..but quickly recalled what just happened.
He stared at me with his eyebrows furrowed in anger, I can feel the heat of his anger piercing my skin.
“Are you blind or something? Have I founded you that you wanted to scald me as revenge?!”
I frowned.
I was just praising him for being hot, but I guess he’s just a handsome face with dirty heart.
“Imagine the audacity! She’s just staring at me!”
People are murmuring around, but I don’t wanna listen to their murmurs…it might just make me angry.
“Are you mute?!”
“Hey, I just apologized to you few moments ago” I said.
“You apologized to me? Will an apology wash my shirt? Will an apology buy it?”
I sighed, I really don’t get why he’s barking. I take back my words, I’m not gonna crush on this arrogant goat.
“It’s just a stain, you can take off the shirt and I’ll wash it…”
“It’s not gonna come off!”
“Then I’m sorry, you can just buy another one… it’s just a shirt”
He lets out a dry laugh.
“Just a shirt? Do you know how much this cost?”
I scoffed loudly, his shirt look so cheap..how much could it possibly cost.
He’s just making a big deal out of nothing, calling people’s attention… attention seeker!
“This shirt can buy your whole life!”
“Hey! Don’t refer to my life! Tell me how much your shirt cost and I’ll compensate you!”
He paused, frowned and looked at me…from my head to my toes.
“Can you afford it?” He asked.
“Are you looking down at me?” I asked him back.
He narrowed his eyes, then smiled and shook his head.
“It’s very cheap, it only cost…$6,560,000!”
Everyone gasped….My head grew bigger and my eyes bulge out.
“$6,560,000?!” I exclaimed.
That can really buy my whole life, I mean, I’ve been working since I turned eighteen…but I haven’t even saved you to $1,000,000.
“You said I shouldn’t look down on you…” He reached out his hand. “…I’m waiting, cheque or transfer…or cash. Anyone is fine by me” he said.
I took a second look at the shirt again, this shirt look very cheap…even the material is of poor quality…
Even him wearing the shirt doesn’t strikes me as a rich person.
Rich people and how they spend money.
“Hello? I’m waiting” he said.
I released a nervous laugh and held his hand, I rubbed it gently..but he snatched it away.
“How about we talk about this calmly, sir?”
“Sir? Did I just heard you say sir?” He asked.
I smiled and nodded.
“Yes, sir…we can resolve this in a matured and peaceful way” I said.
He burst into an uncontrollable laughter, he’s laughing so hard and holding his stomach… people around looked at him as if he’s gone nuts.
I didn’t realized when I joined him in his ¢raziness…soon, he stopped.
“No!” He said.
“No?”
“I have to report this to your manager and get you fired… there’s no talking about this” he said.
Report me to my manager?! Elvis?! It’s over… Elvis has been looking for any slight mistake to kick me out.
“Sir, t-there’s no need to inform my manager about this… please, let’s settle this between ourselves” I pleaded.
He stared at me and sighed thoughtfully..while I’m secretly praying in my heart for Elvis not to show up now.
“We can actually settle this between ourselves”
“Right… that’s the best solution, no need to inform my manager”
He nodded, he dipped his hand in his pocket and pulled out his phone…he handed it to me.
“Here…type your number your contact in” he said.
“Sir?”
He frowned.
“It seems you don’t want us to settle this amicably… who’s the manager here”
“No, no, no sir” I said.
I collected his phone and typed my contact in, it’s just a phone number….I can decide not to pick up when he calls me later.
“Here you go, sir”
He dialed the number and my phone started vibrating in my pocket…he walked closer to me.
“I’ll send you an address later, be sure to be there…I don’t like being kept waiting” he whispered in my ear and walked to the exit.
I sighed…he wants to send me an address and expect me to be there…in his dreams!
Wait… isn’t my best friend the CEO’s girlfriend? Why was I afraid I’ll get fired?
That manipulating ba$tard!
“What happened here?” Elvis asked as he walked out of the kitchen.
“Huh?” I asked dumbly.
He looked down at the food I just wasted, I laughed nervously.
“I’m sorry, Elvis, I didn’t do it on purpose…I bumped into someone” I said.
He set his lips on thin lines and eyed me.
“It’ll be deducted from your salary!”
There’s nothing left for me to say, I simply nodded.
“Clean it up!” He said and walked off.
I sighed and head towards the kitchen to get a mop..few steps away from the kitchen my phone started ringing.
I thought it was that arrogant bast*rd and ignored it… but the phone wouldn’t stop ringing.
So, I reached for it and saw it’s Jasmine calling. I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone right now, but then again…I can’t snub her calls.
“Hey, Jas” I said after answering the call.
“Adeleeeeeeee!” She dragged my name.
I rolled my eyeballs, she’s about to complain about one thing or the other now.
“How are you feeling now?” I asked.
“Not fine…I’m bored, I’m gonna die of boredom if I don’t leave this house now!” She growled.
Ok… Jasmine can be dramatic sometimes. I can already imagine her pulling out her hair right now…she doesn’t everything she’s feeling frustrated.
“Well, you just have to bear with it for today…your baby’s daddy will be home soon to keep you comparing…or you can just play with yourself while picturing he’s the one touching you….”
“Ewww! Gross!” She said.
I laughed.
“But that’s the only way you won’t died of boredom and…”
“Adele, you haven’t clean this place up, but you’re making a d*mn call?!” Elvis growled some meters away from me.
I heard Jasmine laughing, she also heard Elvis barking.
“Ok…I guess I called at the wrong time. Go on with your work, we’ll talk later” she said and hanged up.
I sighed, if only I also have a CEO boyfriend…I can do whatever I want and no one would question me.
“Adele!” Elvis yelled my name again.
I rolled my eyes. “I’m coming!” I yelled back.

Jasmine’s pov ?
Bored!
I stared at my phone as it beeped, it’s a message from an unknown number…I opened the conversation.
*Hi, baby, how are you feeling? I hope you’re getting better now? I’ll be home early today..stay safe.
Just by the construction of this message, I already know who it’s from… Thanatos.
I rolled my eyes and tossed the phone on my bed, I ruffled my hair and groan.
Staying home alone is so d*mn annoying and frustrating, I can’t watch TV because I don’t enjoy watching movies alone.
Well, since I have nothing else to do…I should just take a nap.
Maybe time will pass by quickly that way…I fell back on my bed and closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to come.
******
He sat on the brown leather sofa, watching my every move.
His predatory eyes hooded with lvst as they trailed along my body, his tongue licked his lips as if they were dry.
I continued swaying my hips to the beat, spreading my arms and letting go of myself as I got lost in the music.
He got up and took slow steps towards me, I turned my bum towards him and started twerking.
He stopped behind me and held my waist as I continue twerking against his thing.
“I never knew you’re such a great dancer” he whispered in my ear.
His hot breath fanning my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
“You’ve not seen the best of me yet” I replied.
“Oh? I’d love to see more of you” he said.
His hand grabbed a handful of my dr ess, without hesitation, he tore it…..

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 11 – 20
My eyes snapped open and I breath heavily, I glanced around and realized I’m laying on the floor.. I quickly got up.
I remembered sleeping on the bed.. what was I doing on the floor? How did I get there?
I sat on the bed and noticed I’m sweating profusely…sweat is dripping off me as if I just got out of the shower.
I reached for the glass of water I had placed on the bedside table earlier.. I finished it in one gulp.
What just happened? Thanatos and I?
Was that a dream? Or my imagination? But why would I imagine Thanatos and I doing that?
Or was I just reminiscing our past?
I shudder and shook my head… that’s not the case.
I guess I’m having this weird wet dream, because I’ve been doing nothing but sleeping all day.. I should take a walk, it’s good for the health.
Yes, I need to take a work. I got up and walked towards my small closet to get something to wear.

I stopped and lifted my head, my eyes focused on the words written on the board.
*Mike’s kitchen!*
What am I doing here? Wasn’t I on a walk? Why did I end up here?
Well, I’m already here, I should just go inside and ask Thanatos about Davis.. we can also decide the days and time he would be spending with Davis.
We can also talk about other things, like being fk buddies…what?! No!
We can talk about who’s gonna pay Davis’s tuition fees now…yeah, we’re just gonna talk about…DAVIS!
