Mia's P.O.V

Finally I'm back in America. I could not even spend more time with Jacob alone. I felt like now my tears would come out. However Jacob was behaving normal. He did not even notice that I was not interested in his talks. Whenever he talked to me I felt my heart shatter into pieces, like someone stabbing me. I have to mend my broken heart as I will be spending another two months with him; working for him.

'Why did you have to fall in love with him of all the people?' Every time my subconscious taunting me

For me things were still bad. I just hope that the two weeks of vacations that I have taken will help in taking my mind off things. I can't wait to see my grand-mother after so many months.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had already packed my bag the night before so that I'm free from doing so in the morning. The drive from my place to my grand-mother is a three hour drive. I would drive there straight as I can’t afford to lose time.

It was a little past noon when I reached there. Before I could get out of the car my grand-mother was already out with a big smile on her face. I got out and greeted her.

"Hi grandma," I said hugging her and kissing her on the cheeks.

She returned my hug and kisses and replied:

"Hey Mia, it’s so good to see you after such a long time."

I felt bad at that time. She is the only person I have as family and vice-versa. I'm such a bad grand-daughter. She noticed my sad expression and already knew what I was thinking.

"Hey Mia, I understand. You have work. It's ok. I won't force you to come but don't forget me." She said.

"I will never forget about you grandma." I said while big tears were falling from my eyes.

"Enough of this let’s go inside. I made your favorite lunch." She said.

"Lasagne" I squealed.

"Yeah come on" She said while laughing.

I took my bag and went in. It was good to be at home. I don't even feel like this at my house. I went in my room to freshen up before lunch. We were watching a T.V show when my grandma asked me

"How’s life".

Immediately I thought of Jacob. Tears came into my eyes. I always tell her everything; my first crush, first kiss. She was like a mother to me. I told her everything about Jacob from the first time we met, our first kiss till the last time we talked.

"Mia if you really love him you should tell him before it's late." She reasoned with me.

"No you don't understand if he had feelings for me, he would not say that ‘let's forget about the second time we had sex because we don't have feelings for each other’. He did not even think about me. What about my feelings? How does he know that I don't have feelings for him? I know that I confirmed the fact that we don't have feelings for each other. What could I do at that time, said that 'hey Jacob I love you.' He would reject me. It's better like this. If he knew that I love him and he rejects me it would have killed me." I said or more likely snapped at my grandma.

"Mia, it’s ok, I won't tell you to forget about him but remember that this is not the end of the world. You will get other guys who will respect you and your feelings. Don't let him get to you. You are in vacations, forget about him about everything. Just remember everything happens for a reason." She said to me.

I hugged her very tightly and whispered "I'm sorry about before and thank you I feel much better now.” I said sincerely.

A week and a few days passed very quickly. Before I knew it I was already home, unpacking. Tomorrow I have to go to work. I need a lot of sleep to be able to collect all my thoughts and get energy to be able to face Jacob.

"Hey Jordan" I said when I saw her. She was still the same. She was wearing a pink blouse tucked in her black skirt which reaches just above her knees.

"Hey Mia, long time no see." She said giving me a hug.

We talked about my time in London. I left the part of Jacob. I did not want her to think differently of him. He's still her boss. I even lectured her about the outfits she packed for me. She knew I was joking. She did not feel bad.

"See you later." I told her.

"Yeah bye” She replied.

I entered my cabin and sat in my chair. Shortly afterwards I heard a knock.

"Come in." I said.

It was Jacob. Instinctively I got up as he is my boss.

"Hey Mia, how were your vacations?" He asked me and sat on my chair.

I looked at him with an irritated look on my face. He knew how I hated people sitting on my chair. I don't care that he is the boss.

"Amazing, I felt good to see my grandma." I said to him.

"Okay. So the real reason me coming in your cabin is that I need you to reschedule all my meetings. I have to go to Australia for an important project for about two weeks. Is that okay?"

“Yeah I will do it." I said.

"Great. See you in two weeks. Bye" He said and went out without waiting for my reply.

Two weeks passed. Jacob was coming back tomorrow. During these two weeks I talked to Jacob about only his meetings nothing more. I did not want to relive these feelings once again. I rescheduled meetings that I could. I had to attend some to take notes for Jacob for when he comes back.

Even after his arrival we did not work together. Jacob would go to meetings and I would stay back taking care of the office work. I actually like that. I did not have to spend time with him.

I just want this one month of work that I remained to pass by quickly so that I'm free from Jacob and from the feelings I have for him.
