Fifty Shades Of Us

by Night, Vanita

  "Come on! Freshen up and come down soon. You should eat your dinner", I said as I pushed him to his room.

  In the mean while, me and Marta set everything on the table. I place the curry I made beside him. I sat in the chair beside him and waited for him. After fifteen minutes Zack came down in his night pants and a white V-neck shirt. He kissed my forehead and sat in his chair. I quickly stood up and put the curry in his plate.

  "Taste this", I said as I put the curry in his plate. Marta put the rice in his plate. I looked at Marta and found that she had a scary face. I gave her a confused look and turned my attention back to Zack. I didn't say to Zack that I made it. I want to surprise him. Zack put a spoon in his mouth. I eagerly waited for his response. He chocked and blew the food from his mouth to the plate.

  "Marta! What is this?! It's so disgusting!", he shouted at Marta. Marta just stood there, looking down. Tears flowed down my eyes. It's so disgusting! The words rang in my ear. I tired and did everything that is in the recipe.

  "Zack, Marta didn't make the curry, I made it", I said while looking down at the table cloth on the table through my blurry vision and played with it, with my fingers. I saw Marta went away into the kitchen.

  "Oh shit! I am so sorry Angel. I didn't know you did it! I was just joking when I said it's disgusting", he said as he took me in his arms and pulled down into his lap as he sat down in his chair.

  "Really?", I asked while looking at him through my tears.

  "Really! Please don't cry. I can't stand you seeing you cry. See, I will eat the whole thing", he said while wiping my tears and put a spoon full of curry in his mouth. His expression is like he wanted to spit it out, but he swallowed it with a smile.

  "I know you don't like it. Don't act!", I said and tried to get out of his lap. I took a spoon of curry and tasted it myself. Ew! I feel like I am going to vomit any minute. How did Zack put the second spoon in his mouth?! I sat down in the chair next to Zack.

  "Angel, it's o-".

  "I am sorry Zack. It's horrible! How did you even put the second spoon in your mouth! I am sorry again".

  "It's okay Angel. I am happy that you made this for me, even though it's not good, I like it, because you made it. Now stop crying and smile".

  "Eee", I put an expression as if I am smiling.

  "No, not that. The real beautiful smile". I gave him the same again and he started tickling me. I stood up and ran into the living room. I threw the cushions at him and ran to the stairs.

  I almost slipped on them.

  "Angel, careful!', he shouted from my back, but I didn't stop running. I giggled and went into the room and turned around. Zack collided on me and we both fell on the bed, with me down and Zack on top of me. There is silence between us. We both are staring into each other eyes.

  "Darling", I whispered.

  "Angel. I missed you so much", he said as he leaned down and kissed my lips. I kissed him back. Hi hands romanced my body. Soon the kiss turned into a passionate one. Our tongues collided and I forgot the whole world. My hands went into his hair. I moaned into the kiss.

  "Zack", he went down and pulled away the t-shirt I am wearing. I removed his t-shirt.

  He came down to kiss me again. I am in my lacy bra and sweat pants. He is only in his pants. He kissed my neck to the valley os my breasts. I threw my head back and let him kiss me. He nibbled on my skin and kissed it again. His tongue did magic on every inch where it touched.

  "Zack", I moaned again as I ran my hand on his back and he suddenly stopped. He took my hand that I just ran on his back and looked at me. I forgot to tell him. The hand had a cloth wrapped around it, as I burned myself while cooking.

  "What is this Angel?".

  "I burned myself and Marta wrapped the cloth around my hand".

  "You are never cooking again! Do you understand?!", he said seriously.

  "But Zack I-".

  "No! I don't want to listen to anything. I should talk to Marta abo-".

  "No! Don't get angry on Marta. Marta tried to stop me, but I am the one who stubbornly cooked".

  "Oh Angel! See you hurt yourself", he said and placed a tender kiss on my hand. From there he kissed my whole right hand.

  Now I am sitting in his lap and he is kissing my neck. I kissed his chest. His hands went to my breasts and he groped them with his palm. He kissed my lips again.

  "Angel, you taste so good. I missed your scent there", he said and kissed me again. He was about to unhook my bra and pull it off, still kissing me.

  "I love you Zack", It's has been days since I said it to him. I waited for him to say, but he didn't. Doesn't he feel anything for me?! He pulled away and looked at me in shock.

  "Angel, I... I...".

  Please don't reject me! Just then his phone rang from the night stand. He took it with me still in his lap. He cursed before lifting it.

  "Yes!", he snapped.

  I just kept staring at him.

  "What?! How?!... Which branch?!', he asked as he put me on the bed from his lap, without looking at me.

  He went into the closet while talking and came out in suit and pants. He is still on his phone.

  "Okay, I am coming right now!", he said angrily and looked at me.

  I just stared at him, sitting in the bed, only in my bra and pants.

  "I am so sorry Angel. I should go to office right now. There is a problem. Bye!", he said and went out while dailing to someone on the phone and put it near his ear to talk.

  I just sat there and stared at the wall in front of me.

  What did just happen?

  I fell back on the bed and tears fell from my eyes without warning.

  Another rejection!

  I sobbed into the pillow and cried a lot.

  Why doesn't Zack love me?! Is something wrong with me?!

  I stood up from the bed in the middle of the night and went into closet to change. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair is in different angles. My eyes are red and puffy. My nose is red. My cheeks are stained with tears, which are still running down. I sobbed into my hands again. I just hope my mom is here.

  I miss you mom!

  Then I decided. If Zack doesn't love me, then why should I stay here? I don't want to face another rejection!

  I stared at my reflection in the mirror, wiping all the tears.

  I am going home.

  Chapter-15

  I am standing in front of the very familiar big iron gates that are triple my size. I looked behind the gates, at the mansion that I am born and brought up in, the mansion which I ran from five months ago. The mansion which is my home.

  I went near the gate and found the security there. Uncle Sam and Uncle Mason are sitting in the office room of security. They are working here as security as long as I can remember. There is also a new man who is in his middle thirties. I don't know him. I never saw him. May be he must be new. I went to the small opening on the door and knocked on it. The man who is new turned to look at me.

  "Hi!", I waved at him. He smiled.

  "Hi mam".

  "I want to go inside", I said while pointing at the mansion.

  "I am sorry mam. But you can't go inside easily. Tell me your name so that I can see if you name is on the guest list of today".

  "Amelia. Uncle Sam and Uncle Mason know me".

  "Oh. Wait a minute mam. Let me ask them", he said and called Uncle Sam.

  I waited for a minute, before Uncle Sam and Uncle Mason came out of the door and opened the gates for me.

  "Oh my God Amelia! How are you princess?! Do you know how much your parents are worried about you?! Good you came back. You father is going crazy and not to mention your brothers! Your mother is very sad that you ran away. Come in!", Uncle Sam and Mason both didn't stop talking. They hugged me tightly to them.

  When I was small, I used to play with them a lot. They were once my personal body guards. I miss them so much.

  "We missed you!".

  "I missed you too".

  "Oh and sorry
for all the enquiry. The man that asked you all those questions is Hank. He is new", Uncle Mason said, while pointing at Hank. He looked at us with a confused expression.

  "It's okay. I don't mind. I know about the security. I just hate dad for keeping so tight security". Then I saw Hank's eye widen and he came to me.

  "I am sorry mam. I don't kno-".

  "It's really okay. You are just doing your job and please call me Amelia".

  "Come on! Let's go inside! I want to see the shock on your parents face when you see them. It's a good thing that everyone is at home in the moment except your big brother", Uncle Sam said and we went in.

  I went into living room, but didn't find anyone. Where is everyone?

  "They must be in the garden. Let's go", Uncle Sam said again and we went to the back of the mansion. The back side is fully filled with grass, like a green carpet and big tress surround the boundary wall of the mansion. I feel happy being here.

  I then saw them. My parents, my bothers. My mother is in my father's arms, like always. My father never left my mother's side. They are like magnets. My brothers are sitting on the chairs around the table. They are all just eating the food. It's morning, so they must be eating breakfast. It's not how we used to eat near table. It's always fun. My brother's always teases me.

  There is no smile on their faces. I can't see my mother's face, because their back is facing me. My second big brother Ryan is facing me, though he is looking at his plate. My other brothers Tyler, Ashton, Xander are eating too. My mother has her head on mu father's shoulder. He had his cheek pressed against her forehead.

  Ryan lifted his head up and looked at me. His eyes widened. He stood up from his chair whispering my name. His fork fell down.

  "Amy". That did it. I smiled at him and tears of happiness fell down on my cheeks. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. I hear shuffling beside me, but I didn't care. Ryan hugged me back with same emotions.

  "I missed you", I whispered.

  "Princess", I hear my father say and pulled away from Ryan. The look on his face made me regret my decision of running away.

  "Daddy", I went and jumped on him like a five year old kid. He hugged me tightly.

  "Oh princess!", he said and kissed my fore head. He has tears in his eyes. This is the first time I am seeing tears in my father's eyes.

  "Amelia! Baby", my mother pulled me to her and hugged me. I did the same.

  "Mommy. I missed you so so so much".

  "Me too baby. So much", she cried. Soon I am enveloped by all my brothers. They all hugged me at once. I hugged them back.

  "Amy! We are so happy you are back!".

  "Me too".

  Xander kissed my cheek and wiped the tears from my cheeks. My mother soon pulled me to her again.

  It's been half-an-hour since I am back to my family. Uncle Sam and Uncle Mason left to go back to do their job. My mother wouldn't leave my side. We are still sitting in the lawn. I am sitting in between my mother and father.

  I feel so happy. I can't explain. Why did I even run away? I know the reason, but I ran from all this love. I hate myself so much now! The happiness of having my family here with me is something different.

  My brothers are throwing non-stop questions at me.

  "So princess, where did you live these few months?", my father asked and soon the sad memories came back. I just want to sit there and cry again.

  "I... I lived with Calvin and Ella for first three months".

  "Then?", my mother asked while tucking a piece of hair behind my ear and all my brothers are looking at me curiously.

  "Then... Then... I... I started working-".

  "What?! You worked?!", my father asked angrily. I just nodded my head.

  "Don't get angry at her Vincent! She just came back", my mother said in a stern voice and gave my father a look while hugging me to her from side ways. He cooled down instantly. My mother effects my father so much.

  "I am sorry princess, but you know I don't want you to work and strain yourself. Why do you even need to work? You can have everything you want? Did I not give anything thing you want?".

  "Yes daddy, you gave. But I also want some freedom".

  "I am sorry Princess, but you know I can't let you go out alone. I am scared something might happen to you. I don't want any harm coming to you".

  "Yeah dad is right. We don't want anything happening to you", Ashton said.

  "Anyways. Where did you work? What was your job?", my dad asked. Oh no! What should I say? The thought of Zack brought the unwanted memories.

  "I... uh... I worked for Zack. I worked as his personal assistant".

  "Zack? Which Zack?", my third brother Tyler asked.

  "Zachary Reynold Knight", I whispered his name.

  "What?!", everyone shouted. I looked at their faces and gave them a confused look.

  "What happened?".

  "You worked for that bastard?", Ashton asked again.

  "Yeah".

  "So you were really in New York all this time. Nicolas said that he saw you in a pub".

  "Yes. I saw him too", I said looking down.

  "But why did you work for him?", dad asked.

  "Cause I wanted to work daddy. I wanted to show you guys that I can stand on my own legs. I failed to show it anyway", I whispered the last part.

  "What? No! You did it good. You did it princess. It was so hard to track you. You left your cell phone here and we weren't able to track you. You can work anywhere, but why near that Zachary Knight?".

  "Why? What is wrong with Zack?".

  "Amelia, princess, they are our business enemies!", Ryan said. I gasped as I hear that.

  "But... Then... Why... Why did he let me work for him?", I whispered to myself.

  "That's what we should find out. Did he know that you were a Whitmore?", dad asked.

  "Yes I think. Cause he said he knows my family".

  "Great! Then he must have done it for a reason! He is a playboy Amelia. Did he try anything on you?", Tyler asked. Did he use me? No he won't.

  "No. But is that why he gave me job? Did he want something from me?".

  "We don't know princess. We should find out. But why are you so sad about the thought?” he asked.

  "I... We... I love him", I whispered.

  "What?!” shouted dad, as he stood up from his chair furiously. I shrieked back into mom.

  "Vincent sit down! You are scaring her!", my mother shouted. My dad pulled mom to him and put her in his lap, before putting his head in her neck.

  Oh! Not again! He does that whenever he is angry. It's his wired habit. My dad loves mom so much. Or should I say he is obsessed with her. Their love story is so different. My mother eloped with my father. It's big story.

  "Okay Vincent stop! Kids are watching us!", my mother scolded and my father kissed her lastly on her lips. My mother blushed.

  "I am sorry princess. But I don't like the thought of you loving him, He is not a good guy", dad said seriously.

  "You don't need to worry. He already rejected me two times now", I said as tears gathered in my eyes and I looked down. Soon my brothers came to my side and hugged me. I put my head on Tyler's shoulder. Ashton is sitting beside me. I cried into Tyler's chest silently.

  "I am going to kill that Zachary Reynold Knight!", I hear Ryan say angrily.

  "Call me when you are ready", Xander said.

  "How dare that bastard reject my princess!", my dad said.

  "No dad! He is a good guy. He treated me well. But he didn't love me".

  "Why didn't he?! What is wrong with my princess that he rejected her?", dad said.

  "As if you are going to accept for them to be together", my mother said a got out of his lap. She pulled me up to her and hugged me.

  "Everything will be fine baby. I am here for you now", she said and kissed my fore head.

  "Mommy", I cried on her shoulder and we both sat on the couch. I don't know how much time, but we just sat there.

  "Amy baby", mother called.
/>
  "Yes mom".

  "What about Jack".

  "I didn't love him mom. I was just attracted to him, which I thought is love. After being with Zack, i came to know what love really is".

  "Oh my poor baby".

  "I am however going to teach that bastard Zack a lesson for rejecting and hurting our Amy", Ryan said.

  "Oh yeah, we will", my brother's said at the same time. My dad nodded his head agreeing.

  Ryan phone rang and we excused him. He came back after a few minutes with a smile on her face.

  "Nicolas is coming home", he said and I beamed. I miss him so much.

  I am so happy to be home. May be this is the right thing to do. I can mend my heart from the rejection of Zack. Home is the best medicine.

  Chapter-16

  Zachary Reynold Knight

  "Angel, you taste so good. I missed your scent there", I said and kissed her again on her pink sweet lips. My hands went back to her bra, as she sat in my lap. My heart always flutters as she kisses me back and tries to win the tongue war. Her cute trails always fail, as I win and claim her mouth. I was about to unhook her bra, while kissing her.

  "I love you Zack", she whispered against my lips. I stopped kissing her and looked at her. I looked at her in shock. I didn't expect her to say that when we are kissing. She already told me once before and I didn't say anything, cause I am myself not sure if I love her. But I sure want her and need her. She is looking at me like she is expecting me to say something.

  I don't want to hurt her. She already felt rejected once because of me. I don't want to make her feel that again. I remember that time, when she is angry and didn't talk to me. That day I hated myself for making her cry. I just wanted to beat myself when I saw the tears in her eyes due to me.

  I don't know whether I love her or not, but I sure can't live without her.

  "Angel, I... I...", just then my phone rang from the night stand.

  Who is it now?! I took the phone from the night stand with Angel still in my lap and cursed before lifting it.

  "Yes!", I snapped. Angel is still staring at me with her big baby blue eyes.

  "Sir, its Kevin. The oil refineries of one our branched caught fire and the whole branch is burning", he said breathing heavily. He is one of my employees that manages all the branches of oil refineries.
