The Journey Back To You

The Travel Back

Looking through my window the view of sunset with streaks of orange-gold stretches far beyond what my eyes is capable to see, it engulf the clouds which really mesmerizes me and fills me with calmness. With every  breath, it gives me the chance to see the beauty as time slips away and the sky slowly transcends into the darkness that will be soon filled with glistering stars across the sky.

Then it starts, I'm falling back  to  reality so hard as if gravity is pulling me. The mere thought of possibly seeing him again still send shivers down my spine and I don't how I would react. It's been 4 years since I last spoke to him over the phone, telling me how sorry he was because he cheated and wanted to break up. Tears started to fill my eyes, my heart ached like it just happened yesterday. I wanted to ask him "Why?! but at that point, no words left my mouth. What did I do so wrong?! All I remember is the resonating beeping sound of the call ending with no other explanation from him but the words I'm Sorry!. I can no longer contain the pain that was overwhelming me and now the sound of sobs filled my room.

A few minutes of crying felt like hours and I wanted to stop the pain...  Camille get your shit together!! You know you're stronger than this,  is he even worth it? Do I even need to ask myself that, when it's already been 4 years? I tried to calm myself down and looked at the almost empty room filled with boxes that would be sent back home. I was supposed to come back 2 years ago since I finished my Master's earlier than expected but decided to extend my stay and just told Dad I needed more time. In reality, I didn't want my Dad to see me still broken and un-mended even after 2 yrs of the breakup.  I don't want to hear him say I told you so...

Then I heard... Knock! Knock!

Camille are you ready? Slowly someone opened the door and It was James, my ever-supportive brother!

You know we will be late for our flight and, wait! are you crying again?! His face changed and you can see in his eyes that he was somewhat mad but felt sorry in a way.

For God's sake Camille it's been years! It's not like he hasn't moved on and you see that every day in magazines.  So get yourself ready and wipe those tears in your eyes it looks puffy already!! And don't worry about things here everything is fixed I already coordinated with the Hotel and they will handle everything for you, so meet me in the lobby in 10 mins!! James said.

I know James was so tired of seeing me like this, after the breakup, he was the first one that knew about what happened and it drove him nuts saying he's gonna beat the shit out of him when he sees him.  Every time I was drinking myself to sleep he would always be the one that rescued me. And now he has no choice but to be the one to pick me up since it's time for me to come back home.

Unable to say anything! I looked at the sky one more time, cleaned my face and picked up my bags, and closed the door.

In the lobby...

When James saw her sister he knew that she was still not okay.

Finally! Let's go... You know when I'm hungry I get grumpy. He smiled wanting to lighten the mood.

We'll is it my fault that you didn't eat before coming here. You know I was busy preparing you dumbass!. Camille raised an eyebrow.

woohoo!! That's why sister!! where were you hiding all this time,  James said laughing.

Now let's go we don't want to be late Dad would kill us if we miss our flight.  I'll just grab a snack on the way to the airport.

Camille and James have gotten into the car when James's phone started to ring. They knew it was their father checking in on them making sure his sister boards the flight.

Hey Dad! I know what you're gonna say, don't worry we're on our way to the airport and will be there before you know it. I'll update you immediately once we arrive.

Okay!  The car and the security team will be waiting at the airport. Their Dad said and before he can even respond the line went dead...

I really don't get Dad he's so scared of you not coming home. James said feeling a little bit frustrated.

Don't worry it's not like I'm gonna run off to somewhere and I know how he misses me a lot that's why he finally wants me home.

After arriving at the airport in England they were escorted by their security team to the boarding gate making sure they won't be followed by paparazzi.  Luckily they were none in sight and they were able to successfully board the flight with no issues.

Staying in the business class... Camille sighed,  well I guess this will be a long flight and slowly drifted to sleep...

A Little Encounter

Camille and James are the Heirs to the Ruiz group of companies, A multinational conglomerate company consisting of hotel chains, real estate, law firms,  and restaurant chains.  As the heir, all eyes are on them especially Camille. She was stunning, with her beautiful long black hair, deep brown eyes,  her lips were full and plump, just looking at it will make you want to kiss them passionately. She insinuates elegance and her body has just the right curves. Being born to one of the wealthiest family in New York plus having the brains and beauty, who will not fall for her or rather who can resist her.

After an 8 hour flight, they finally arrived at  John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York...

Camille steps out the gates looking both comfortable and chic, wearing a black all-in-one with cinched waist and pristine white sneakers.  Followed by James in all black! Wearing a fabulous long black leather moto jacket that came in perfectly at his waist, he strutted through the airport in leopard print canvas sneakers and black skinny jeans.  By looking at them you would think that they were celebrities heavily guarded by security personnel in which their father initially set up.  But before Camille walked through the airport exit someone called her name. She suddenly stopped and scanned through the airport in which she spotted Kevin, holding a heart-shaped bouquet of red roses walking through her way. Kevin has been courting her for a while now,  the only son of John and Raquel Morgan, owners of the Morgan Hotel Empire.

Hey! what are you doing here? shouldn't you be in England right now? Camille said...

Why would I be there when I know you will be staying here in New York.  I can't stand being far away from you, and you know that I haven't given up yet because I really do love You!..

Oh! my God why are you doing this to me right now! Camille's face flushed red...

Ehem!!  You do know we're at the airport right now and people are starting to notice so if you don't want reporters taking pictures of you two, can you cut it off and let's go to the car??  James cut them off...

Kevin gave the bouquet of roses to Camille and placed a sweet kiss on her cheeks... She took the bouquet and they walked to the car still escorted by the security team.

Well, how was your flight sweetie?  Kevin said...

It was fine but I guess I'm a little bit tired. But can you stop calling me sweetie aren't you ashamed calling me that in front of my brother?

Why would I be? I'm his future brother-in-law anyways.  Right James?  Kevin said teasingly...

Of course, If I was Camille I would have married you already hahaha!

This isn't the first time my brother and Kevin met and they really have gotten a  lot closer since two years ago. Every time James visited me in England he would always ask me if he could come along. At first, my brother was not fond of him since he has this playboy aura. But since they both have a lot in common, Kevin took that as a chance to get an advantage. Sometimes my brother would choose his side over mine. And I would always ask him whose brother is he, mine or his. We accidentally met at a fashion event in  Milan that we both attended and then he said he fell in love, at first sight, then started courting me at the event. Thinking I would never meet him again I let him be, but fate moves in different ways, and we met again in England.  He started courting me for real, sending flowers and chocolates. I always turned him down since I know I'm not ready yet.  But he was willing to wait, not pushing any pressure on me. And whenever I look into his eyes, I saw sincerity.  He's not a bad catch either, being one of the most eligible bachelors and heir to Morgan Company he has it all.  His looks were undeniably good, he's your perfect depiction for tall dark, and handsome with a body of a Greek God.  So why Am I still hesitating should I think things through and give him a chance?

Camille was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice James and Kevin calling her. Until her brother pinched her cheek...

Ouch! Hey! What the hell! what was that for???

Well, we were actually calling you like a thousand times already and you were not listening. Kevin was asking if you want to have dinner first at a restaurant or just eat at home because we need to call and tell them to prepare a meal for us. It will take at least 2 more hours before we arrive at home, so you decide.

I'm good for now so let's just head home. I'm tired anyways and tell them to prepare the guest room for Kevin because It will be already too late for him to travel back home.

Uhmmm, Little Sis. I might have missed some minor detail I needed to tell you when I picked you up. Kevin will be staying with us for a whole month... James said while scratching the back of his head.

Wait, What?!!!  and you're telling me this just now?  Camille shrieked...

Did Dad even approve of this?? How did you tell him?

Of course, I told him,  he didn't even refuse when I asked. Well, in fact, it was Dad who asked him to stay for a month. Kevin was just supposed to stay for 1 week but Dad said it's better for him to stay for a month.

Are you guys ganging up on me??? Even Dad put you up for this... I thought he missed me but I guess I was wrong...  Camille said sadly...

Hey! Sweetie that's not the case! We are actually in a middle of a project together so that's why your dad asked me to stay longer. It would be easier for us to go through the details and planning since I'll be staying over. I'm sorry if I didn't tell you. But if you want I'll just cancel it and ask my driver to pick me up from your estate?? Kevin reached out and cupped  Camille's face looking at her lovingly. You know I will always do everything for you. If you tell me not to stay that's fine with me.

Something in me sensed that he was a little bit disappointed with how I reacted. But the way he touched my face sent a tingling feeling in my chest. I was too flustered by the certain gesture that I didn't expect the next words that came out of my mouth. "It's fine you can stay" With that said I saw how his eyes changed and glistened with happiness. Maybe, I should give this a chance or should I say us a chance...

Thank you, Sweetie!! This really makes me happy... I will not let you regret this decision...

Camille just nodded in acknowledgment...

"Should I be hearing wedding bells soon??" James interrupted.. Smiling sheepishly...

The Heat Is On

The air smelled of bacon and pancakes so I walked through the kitchen and saw Kevin was leaning on the countertop wearing a white tank top and black sweat pants, he was oozing with masculinity and sexiness with just holding a cup of coffee. I never did saw him like this, he was always wearing something casual or wearing his suit. My heart started to feel fuzzy, I didn't what cam to me that I just started scanning him from head to toe, but  Oh! my God how can he look this good. While i was busy gawking at him, Kevin actually started walking and then leaned towards me. I felt his warm breath next to my ear and then he whispered " if you keep looking at me like that I would not know how to control myself from kissing you right here and now" His voice was deep and alluring and I was frozen in place. Just with those words he was able to send shivers up my spine.  My legs felt weak as if they will give up any minute now and my face started to heat up.  I turned to look up at his face, his dark brown eyes bored into mine that shows Lust and Desire. I started to hate how my body was suddenly reacting on how close we are.  This hasn't happened before, the sexual tension was beginning to build up and I need to stop it right now.

I pushed him away, trying to void the tension between us. But then he suddenly found my waist and pulled me in closer, our lips are just a few centimeters apart, and then he said  " I'll make you mine no matter how long it takes!" He loosened his grip and walked out of the kitchen with a smirk on his face leaving me breathless.

Okay, I guess I'm starting to regret my decision to let him stay here.

Suddenly James burst into the kitchen holding his phone to my face.

"Hey, Sis! look at this I thought security was tight at the airport but I guess not. Look you made it to E! News just within 24 hrs of arriving. 

Camille grabs the phone and was shocked at what she's seeing. It was a picture of James kissing her on the cheeks.  With an article;

"Today's Hot Photos"

Camille Ruiz and Kevin Morgan getting cozy at the airport sparks Romance Rumors.  The merger between Ruiz and Morgan Companies?!

Shit! I'll go to the office and try to clear this out with our Legal Team. How did Dad let this pass the media? And Kevin didn't even look like he knows this yet. Arrgghhhh! did is so frustrating! while grabbing a handful of hair.

Well, my darling little sister! This is beneficial to our company anyways, and since we will be partnering with them for a couple of projects why not  just let it be for now.

Don't tell me you've planned this??

Well of course not!  I don't want to mess with a crazy girl like you hahaha!!

You're such a jerk of a brother, get out of the way, I'm going to the company to fix this mess.

Arriving at the company

Manuel Ruiz  (Owner of Ruiz group of companies)  you can say he doesn't look like his age and you can tell that beauty really runs in their genes.

Camille runs toward her dad like a little girl. Oh! Daddy, I missed you so much! you didn't even pick me up at the airport. (Pouting her lips and acting childish)

Oh my Baby! I missed you too but you know there are a lot of things going on with the company and I even asked your brother to pick you up with the security team.

But Daddy if I didn't go to the company then you wouldn't  have been able to see me. You're always busy with work, why don't you just let James run the company?

Camille are you serious? Your brother is not ready yet the board of directors will swallow him whole. I know your brother is doing his best to help me with the company but you know for a fact that he's not prepared to handle the business.

But Daddy why don't you give him a chance to prove himself. I know he can handle the company he's been working hard for the past couple of  years since I left.

Camille! lets not argue about this, you just visited me and I don't want you to be upset with me any longer.

Okay Dad! but I really didn't come here for you. I actually wanted to go to our Legal and PR team to handle the Media about me and Kevin.

Camille I understand that you want to clear this out, but this is actually beneficial for both the companies. You don't have to do anything and just let our PR team handle it. We have a lot of projects with the Morgans so just let it be for now.

Dad that's exactly what James said. Tell me the truth did you plan everything?  Why would the paparazzi be there when in fact only You and James knew that I was going back home.

I Promise honey I didn't plan anything. But we should make the best out of it cause that's how business works. We should grab this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Morgans. Let the PR Team handle this they know what to do but for the meantime we won't say anything about the issue.

There's no point on talking to you about this anymore Dad, you always choose the company over me. You know that I just came back and now I'm greeted with controversy I haven't even been here for 24 hours.

Camille, please understand I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing this to secure your future.

Dad we already own a lot what more do you want. I've already given up my happiness before just for you and now this. Can you please choose me just this once.

Okay! What do you want? Do you want make a press conference and say that you're just friends. I'll deal with the aftermath if the Morgans decide to not push through with the projects. I want you to be happy Camille I don't want you to leave again.

Arrghhh!! you're always like this Dad you always make me feel guilty in the end! Fine! I'll let PR team handle it.

Sweetheart I know you won't be able to resist your father I have my charms you know.

Really Dad, hmmppphh! I'm leaving see you at home..

Wait! why don't we grab something for lunch first.
