Chapter 5
Taylor Portwalt
My head hurted a lot, I walked into my office lifeless. I'm tired, stressed and not to mention I'm on my period. It made everything worse than usual.
I sat down on my chair and turned my laptop on. I started to check my emails for new orders before going to work and make my design again. 3 new emails and yes 4 orders.
I walked out from my office to continue my work. I'm a designer and usually I design dresses. I'm an expert in making dresses. Thank God for that talent
"Ms. Portwalt, there's an invitation for you to attend the Lotensel's fashion show in New York for 3 days" My secretary said
"Lontensel?" I asked and she gave me the invitation. I opened it and looked at the details
"Am I free that date?"
"Yes Ms. Portwalt. There's only a deadline 3 days after that fashion show" She said and I nodded
"Call them and tell them that I accept the invitation" I gave her the invitation back and I went back to designing this white formal dress
"When will the new materials come?" I asked my employees
"Today, miss, it should arrive now or in one hour" Tiana said and I nodded. I continued to do my work when suddenly my secretary came to me
"Ms. Portwalt, there's someone who's looking for you"
"Just let them in, please prepare my meeting room" I said since it must be a new client anyway. I put my stuff down and get ready to meet the new client
"Hi Taylor" I froze when I heard that voice, I slowly turned my body. I looked at Christian in horror
"What are you doing here?" I asked in horror, he waved to my employee causing them to squealed
"I miss my future-wife, is that a crime?" My eyes widen and I took his arm and dragged him to my meeting room
"What did you just say?" I asked
"Future wife" He said slowly making me piss
"Future wife? What are you nuts?" I bursted and put my hands on my waist
"You asked me to marry you" He smirked
"When? You crazy idiot"
"Oh come on Taylor, we shared one night. It's fine if you want to share another night with me" Huh?!
"Stop saying about spending the night Christian! I never spend a night with you and you're crazy for saying that again and again" I bursted at him and he looked at me raising his eyebrows
"You were asking to take responsibility yesterday"
"What? I never-" My eyes widened when I remembered that I was drunk yesterday. I ran out from the meeting room to my office, I opened my phone and looked at the call history
"Shit!" I saw Christian's name on the top of my call history
"Oh shit.. What did I say yesterday? What did I do? What have I done?" I walked around my office and cursed myself. I walked back to the meeting room pouting, Christian looked at me with full amusement in his eyes
"What did I say yesterday?"
"You asked me to marry you today" He said and I shook my head
"I will never said that Christian, you made this up just to-"
"Need to prove?" Christian cut me
"What proves?" He took his phone out and played something from his phone
"So what do you want me to do?" I heard Christian's voice asking me
"Take responsibility" My eyes widen when I heard my own voice crying and I sighed
"Like what?"
"Marry me!" Oh shit!
"Okay let's get married" I heard Christian said and I stopped crying in that recording
"Really?" I asked stupidly
"Yeah, when? Tomorrow?" Christian asked
"Really?" I can't believe I called him yesterday in my drunkest moment
"Yes Taylor" Christian shut the recording and out his phone on the table
"That was you right?" Christian asked and I sat across him because my legs went weak
"I'm sorry" I looked at him sadly
"Well you made me come to LA"
"Why bother to come here you jerk? You can ignore it"
"Why do you keep denying about 2 years ago?" He asked and I sighed
"Because I was scared" I said honestly because Christian already caught me
"For 21 years, I have never dated someone. Guys find me attractive but once they got me, they let me go. For them the process getting my heart was the hardest" I leaned back to my seat and sighed
"That's why when I knew about it, I shut myself from guys. Until I decided when I turn 21, I wanted to get drunk so hard but I ended up did that with you" I said not daring to look at him
"I was scared, after that night I was scared of a lot of things. What if I'm pregnant? What if now guys don't want me because I'm not a virgin anymore?"
"This is a modern century, do you think guys will still care if you have or don't have your V card?" Christian asked and I turned to him
"I'm not you who has that mindset Christian, I want my love life to be perfect. I want to keep my most precious jewel to someone I love until I get married. I'm not like you who think girls just a decoration or just for fun" I said coldly and he scoffed
"Since I took that from you, do you still want to marry me? Cause I don't want to settle down right now" He stated coldly too
"Can we just erase this memory? Does an act like this never happen? You don't want this and I don't want this. Seeing you again made me crazy, because for me 2 years ago was a big mistake for me. Sleeping with my own enemy" I said coldly to him and emphasized the last sentence
"It's just a one night stand" I said and he looked at me with hurtful eyes
"It was a mistake but I never thought it was a mistake Taylor or just a one night stand" That got me hard, I gulped nervously when he said that. He looked at me straight in the eyes
"You know that we were drunk and sober enough to know who we were sleeping with. You let me at that time"
"Then why didn't you stop before we went too far?" I asked angrily
"Because you and I both it was different" That got my breath hitch
He was right, that night was different
