《Flatmates》36
Advertisement
The holiday was incredible, but as always it was over in a flash. Harry and I just spent the time relaxing and enjoying each others company. Enjoying being away from work and being able to fully switch off.
Arriving back at the apartment, I dumped my suitcase in the hall before going in search of Alex and George. I was shocked to find them both in the dining room, George packaging orders whilst Alex stuck on postage labels.
'Wait what? You guys didn't need to do this! I was fully prepared to pull a late night and get them all done this evening' I exclaimed, stood in the door way in a state of shock.
'We figured you deserved a few days off. This is the last one' George said standing, passing the package to Alex before engulfing me in a hug. 'Did you have a good time?'
'The best. Thank you. Thank you so much!'
I treated the boys to a takeaway that night as way of payment for their hard work, all three of us curling up on the sofa together to catch up with some show or another. I was truly lucky to have these two boys in my life.

I switch off my alarm, throw back my duvet and drag my body from my bed. Stepping into the steaming hot shower, I aim my face up into the stream of water in a bid to wake myself up. It had been a late night of designing, squirrelling away at my tiny desk until the early hours of the morning. It was now 9am and I really needed to get moving, so I dragged myself from the shower. Dressing in super quick time, throwing my wet hair up into a messy but and heading to the kitchen to make coffee.

I check my phone to find a message from Harry.
Harry: Be ready for 7pm tonight, wear something nice x
Jess: Why? Whats the occasion? x
Harry: Just want to treat you, stop asking questions. See you at 7! x
Cryptic, but exciting.
***
6.55pm and I am dressed and ready. A tight black dress, black heels and my hair down and curled to perfection. I head downstairs to find Harry already waiting in his Range Rover.
'Hey' I say as I climb in, pulling the door closed behind me.
'Hey' Harry replied, placing a quick kiss on my cheek before pulling away.
After about 20 minutes of travelling, Harry parks and we exit the car. He takes my hand, leading me down the road. We end up outside a nice looking restaurant, and Harry winks at me as he leads me through the doorway.
'Reservation for Lewis.'
They lead us to a quiet table in the corner, pulling our seats out for us to sit. Harry orders wine whilst we browse the menu, finally deciding on what we want to eat.
Harry seems agitated, but I don't understand why. He keeps shifting his weight in his chair, drinking wine like it is an olympic sport.
'Jess, I want to talk to you.'
Oh no. Here it comes. The break up speech. My breath hitches and my heart starts pouring, my heartbeat audible in my ears. I can't hear this, I can't do this.

War, Honor and Vengeance
In a world where there is no right or wrong, justice and injustice, good or evil, it is the world where only the strong persists while the weak slaves. A world filled with lies, treachery and betrayal. There is no two way. Only one way. One way to either Hell or Heavens. Some call it Destiny, some call it Providence, others call it The God’s Will. But I call it Fate. My arch-nemesis. Something so invisible, out-of-reach and strong, that no matter how much you fight, there seems no end. But tell me, will you succumb to your fate, as others rise on it. Tell me, will you let your family, your children, your wives be slaughtered and slaved on this so-called Fate. No. War. In a world where lives are nothing more than livestock, either you rise up and rule in passion or go down in flames. Will you stay mum and accept this so-called Fate and be slaughtered by your enemies, or will you rise up. Wealth, fame, fortune, desires are not ever-lasting. Only War is eternal. Vengeance. In a world where with no rights and wrong, the weak would be preyed upon while the strong will wreak havoc. But, will you accept your fate of being weak…. No. You rise up and exact revenge for all the wrongs done to you. You rise for Vengeance. Honor. Honor… something which runs deep within our blood, but yet forgotten in dust. Something, so intangible, so frail, yet so over-powering. Villains justify it as useless, Lords deem it as unnecessary and Kings mock it as worthless, but yet, it flows ever so deeply within. Deeply… like our thirst of wealth and power. Without this so-called useless, worthless and unnecessary piece of intangible force, we, as Knights are nothing but mere foot soldiers. So, rise up! Rise Up! RISE UP, my Knights. For War! For Vengeance! For Honor!!!! ………………………………………………………… The release rates are going to be a bit sloppy with my college entrance exams upcoming, so please don’t be angry, my avid readers. I also want to inform you that my college entrance exams are coming up and so, I wont be making regular updates like Im doing now and the chapters will generally be around 1.5-1.7k.

The promised release date will be every Tuesday, generally at 7:00pm (IndianST) and there will be a guarantee of 7 chapters per week. Not one bit less but if you want more, well ...well...
