Chapter 1: chapter 1
HAYLEY'S POV
I hurt him, god I hurt him real bad. I never should have done that. I never should have chickened out.
I let my fears control me and ruin the best thing that could have happened to me.
I remember that night perfectly, I sensed it coming and I was praying I was wrong.
Zack Reynolds asked me for dinner. I was so nervous for no reason.
Well, I had a reason. Most of what he was doing and talking about showed he might be proposing.
And when i walked into his house and saw how romantic he had set everything up, i immediately got scared but i tried to control it.
He had a table for two with roses and champagne on his balcony. With the food he had personally made for me.
I ate very slowly praying there was no ring in my food.
And also,stall because he looked like he was waiting for me to finish.
And when I did, I saw him get down on one knee, 'Hayley Mills, will you marry me?'
I looked at him as my entire body started shaking, I was so nervous.
I immediately started crying. I didn't know what to do, what to say.
'I..... I... Zack I.... Oh god... I'm sorry.'
With that, I ran out of there with tears rolling down my face.
I cried as I ran down the stairs and out of the apartment building. I was a mess as I tried to get an uber.
I don't know why i did that.
I wanted to marry Zack, I know that.
Why did I chicken out and ran?
'Why did you do that Hayley, why?'
I remembered seeing the hurt look on his face.
It haunts me. Its been haunting me for two years.
So here I am, looking for him because i need him.
Its been two years and all I want was him. The more time passes, the more the feeling grows.
Here I am at his office, looking for him.
The secretary I found, thankfully, was the same one from two years ago.
"Miss Mills good morning." She said to me with a smile.
"Katy.. Its been forever. How are you?" I said with a smile.
"I'm alright. I'm doing good." She said nodding
"Is Zack here?"
My heart was beating fast as i asked this question.
"Yes... He is actually in his office right now."
"Could you please tell him I would like to see him, if he isn't busy?"
Well, would he want to see me? I'm sure Katy must have thought we broke up or something since she hasn't seen me in a good time.
I used to come here so many times to bring him lunch and a blowjob.
"Let me check if he is available."
I nodded to her as I got anxious. I prayed he wont send me away.
He would at least hear me out. Give me a moment.
I wouldn't blame him if he turned me away. If he refused to see me.
"Hello Mr Reynolds, there is someone here to see you... Miss Hayley Mills Sir..... Okay Sir..."
She then put the phone down and looked at me with a smile.
"Good news. Mr Reynolds can see you right now."
"Really?"
I sighed with relief.
"Yes. You can go right now."
I smiled and nodded at her.
I was breathing hard as I walked to his office.
This place was more fancier than I remember. Well, he had grown his business even more.
I looked at the door as I took a deep breathe. I have to try to get him back, and I won't do that if I'm shaking like a leaf. So much so, its hard to talk.
After three minutes of calming myself down, I knocked on the door.
"Come in!" I heard his voice on the other side.
This was it, I had to do swallow my pride, swallow my fears. I had to get my man back.
Who knows if he'll even want me.
