**Blake**

"Leave me alone Bethany, stop calling this number", I say frustrated ending the call for the twentieth time.

After five minutes my door bursts open, revealing the devil with bloodshot eyes and tears staining her cheeks.

"Tell me why!", she screams and my assistant Angela runs inside my office.

"I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop her", Angela says glaring at Bethany.

"Her....her?", Bethany yells. "Do you even know who I am?", she asks Angela through grunted teeth, pointing a finger towards her.

"No miss", Angela replies quickly as Bethany lets out a scoff.

"I'm Blake's girlfrien-

"Ex-girlfriend", I cut her off.

Suddenly her head snaps in my direction, shooting me a glare.

"It's her, isn't it?", her giggle dangerous low.

"I knew it", she says nodding her head as I don't answer her.

"I knew something was happening when I saw at at the restaurant with you", Bethany waves her hands in the air.

"Oh that girls ganna pay", she rumbles bawling her fists.

"If you dare touch Delilah-", I start venom seeping through my words.

"So Delilah is her name", she cuts me off squinting her eyes.

"Get out of my office, NOW!", I yell the last word coming out louder than the rest.

"Babe, what happened?", she asks all innocent.

"We are done Beth, we are over", I say anger boiling through me.

"We are not over until I say we are Blake. You are the Love of my life", she shoots back and I let out a chuckle.

"Please, I've heard that line many times before", I say and she stomps her foot clearly upset by my words.

"Blake I love you", she pleads.

"How can you love me, if you don't even know what love is?", I ask my voice much calmer now. Trying to hide the annoyance.

She lets out a snob, but I don't soften. She knows how to manipulate people, it's what people like her do. She's been playing with me for quite a while.

"No one knows you like I know you Blake, and they never will", she spits through grunted teeth.

"Funny how the people who know least about you, always have the most to say", I reply and she groans out of anger.

"What's my favourite colour?", I ask and she seems confused.

"What does that have to do with the situation?", she asks walking towards me but I stop her.

"Answer the question Bethany ", I say staring into her eyes.

"I don't know", she replies shrugging her shoulders and I chuckle.

"How would I know?", she asks rolling her eyes.

"Yeah because you never asked, besides all me ever spoke about was you. So the one you really love, is yourself", I say honestly and she stares at me with widend eyes.

"Goodbye Beth", I say and she groans before stomping out my office.

"If I can't have you, no one will", she shouts pure rage leaking through her words. But not nearly enough to faze me.

"Remember this Blake Cooper, you will be mine", her voice softens as she disappears.

My blood boils underneath my skin as I stare at Angela with pure anger.

"How has she gotten past security?!", I yell out of frustration. "Bethany Fox is forbidden to be on Copper grounds, ever", I say my voice dangerously low.

"Make sure this never happens again and if it does, I won't hesitant to dismiss the whole security team", I instruct as Angela mumbles 'yes sir', before sprinting out my office.

It upsets me that Bethany will take extreme measures by causing a scene at my work. Not to mention the amount of stories spreading through the this entire building. How could she be so immature?

That's the problem with love these days. People use it anywhere at anytime, that it doesn't hold the same meaning anymore. Love is supposed to the feeling of being wanted and loved. To be loved is to be cared for. Some people either care too much or doesn't care at all.

Now that I think about it. I was never inlove with Bethany, I just loved the thought of being with someone. I was never loved in our relationship, my standard in life was all she wanted.

I need someone to see the fire in my eyes and wants to play with it.

Suddenly my door opens revealing my mother. She walked towards me with sympathy in her eyes.

"Blake honey", she starts as she takes a seat next to me on the sofa.

I look at her with mixed emotions. Feeling anger, disappointed and happiness trying to lighten up my mood.

"Is everything okay?", mom asks and I slowly move my head to look at her.

"Why do I feel so stained? ", I ask rubbing my temples.

"It's okay to feel that way honey. It takes time to get over the whole situation that took place not even ten minutes ago", she states.

"It just angers me that Bathany would make such a scene in my office. She's not the same person she used to be. She used to be kind and caring. But all she is now is cold-hearted and self-absorbent.", I say with a heavy heart.

"She used to be someone special, until she changed for the worse. It's cold how much one person can change in such a short amount of time", I say as mom places her hand over mine.

"Blake my boy, you have quite a big heart filled with love, and I admire every little detail about you. I wish most men were as passionate as you. But it is also those men, whose hearts get broken too fast because they care too much", she speaks and I let her words sink in.

"Then how do you stop caring?", I ask through a chuckle.

"I guess it's just a blessing in disguise", she says embracing me in a hug.

"Okay mom ,I'm at work", I say as her laugh fills my ears.

"You'll never be too old to hug your mother Blakey", she says and I grown.

"Don't call me Blakey", I say as she playfully hits my shoulder.

"I'll just call what I want", she says sternly standing up before leaving my office.

And suddenly you know....it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
