Always Been You

~Lola’s POV~

I breathed the lovely scents of the ocean breeze and the trees as the peaceful breeze stroked over my skin. Yoga on a beautiful morning was rejuvenating. The ocean’s lovely waves showered salty water on my face. I wiped my brow with my hand as I peered into the blue depths of the sea as the sun soared into the sky to conduct its daily duties. It delivers the full effect of medication while listening to the rhythmic pulses of the waves breaking into the dunes. I lie flat on my yoga mat, wanting to be closer to nature. As I continued to lie down on the yoga mat, I turned on some music and put on my earbuds, and coast to coast by Westlife began to play. I smiled, as this was mine and Dante’s favorite song. We were huge fans of Westlife and the Backstreet Boys. The music transported me back to those days. Three small munchies pushed themselves on top of me as I was going to get up and get ready for work. I laughed, enjoying the sensation my children were giving me. I really love them with every fiber of my being. They started running around in the dunes, and I started chasing them. We got tired of our little eutopia, then we headed back to the house. Ruth and Evelyn took the kids to the bathroom to bathe them, and I went to my room so I could also take a hot shower and head to my shop. I went down the stairs once I was finished, and the kids were ready to go to kindergarten. I opened the car and Ruth took them inside. Every parent was dropping off their children as I drove to kindergarten. As I was about to head out, I suddenly heard voices I couldn’t avoid.

“She might be the richest woman in town, with a fancy car and a fancy house, but she pretends to be married.” Mavis had a smirk on her face when I turned my head to see who was talking. She will never leave me alone.

“Urgh, I’m sure she is married.” Mavis made a remark.

“If so, why is she always with Doctor Blackwood? Does she want him to father her children?” The other woman with Mavis scoffed, “She might wear the most expensive brands, but she is lonely with 3 bastards.” I might be lonely, but no one calls my children bastards. I walked over to the woman with Mavis, completely enraged.

Slap

“No one calls my children bastards, do you understand?” I saw her shaking her head. Mavis caught my eye. She acted as though she was a saint. She hates me because of Mason. “As for you!” I pointed my index finger at her. “I am not interested in Doctor Blackwood. If you so much want him, you can go after him without doing all this. I won’t be nice next time.” I said to her as I walked away. The people in this town are too much. I got behind the wheel and drove to my shop.

“Mr. Monroe, is the hotel to your liking now?” June would do anything to strike up a conversation with me, and it’s starting to annoy me now. Lev gave me a sidelong glance. He could tell I was so annoyed. For fuck’s sake, I didn’t use my private jet to get to Ozark only to be annoyed by this woman. Is she really expecting me to tell her that I’m not interested? Can’t she read between the lines? I know I am a jerk and fuck anything, but can’t she see a ring on my finger? I rolled my eyes and bid my goodbyes to Mr. Clark. At least there is progress now with the hotel. I requested that Lev drive June home. I know she came without her car on purpose so that I could drop her off at home. Never in a million years would you see me doing that. The last time I did that, she wanted me to stay for supper and meet her daughter. I mean, for fuck’s sake, why would I even tell her that I’m not interested when she can clearly see I left the table and headed back to my suite. For fuck’s sake, I couldn’t even eat, for fuck’s sake with that woman busy pressing her breast every second she got. What is it with women? As I entered the exclusive elevator, I ordered room service so I could eat in peace, not in pieces. I didn’t even know when I arrived at my suite out of annoyance. The ding alerted me to my surroundings. I went right to the shower. When I came out of the shower, I heard a doorbell, and I opened it for the person. I signaled to them to leave the food at the Terrance. After some time, I went into the Terrance to finally eat in peace. I worked the knife back and forth into the dish of well-done steak, eventually slicing the last piece. I shoved it into my mouth. I poured myself a glass of red wine. My doorbell rang again as I was ready to cut the second slice of my steak. I went into the door as I opened the door and, as I did so, June stormed into my suite.

“Monroe, Mr. I thought I should bring some wine so we could celebrate!” She gasped excitedly.

Fucking great!

Lev told me he dropped her. Why has she returned? I closed the door and headed to the terrace. Lord help me. I never once wanted to be rude to this woman, but she was starting to get on my nerves now.

“I thought you stated you were full when you were by the lobby, Mr. Monroe.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Yea, because you are fucking annoying!

She then looked me dead in the eyes, as though there was something on my face. “Mr. Monroe?” I made a hum. “What’s the name of your wife? I have a friend whose children resemble you. She has triplets and is Mrs. Monroe.” This moron will go to any length to strike up a conversation with me. I put my fork and knife down, having abruptly lost my appetite.

“What do you want, Miss Blackwood?”

“I wanted us to celebrate.”

“Listen here. I don’t like it when people disturb my peace, Miss Blackwood. I am not interested in you. Like I told you before, I am married and I love my wife. Even if I wanted to cheat on her, it wouldn’t be with someone like you. I hate it when ladies hurl themselves at me. What exactly do you want from a married man?”

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Monroe. I thought you felt the same way.”

“No, I didn’t, and I never will. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’d like to finish my meal.” She nodded her head and left.

Fucking great!
