A/N: This is the last chapter of this story. The sequel is where things start to heat up a bit.
Candice walked in her work office with a hangover. Obviously, getting drunk was not on Candice's mind when she walked in her office. "Thats what I get for drinking too much." Candice shook her head. It was the only way to get her mystery man back, well, according to Ashley. There could've been many of ways to get him back but she had to go along with Ashley who had the one answer to every problem. Alcohol. She sat down at her office and turned on the radio where a song called "Blame it" was on. Yeah thats right Jamie. Blame it on the alcohol. Candice shook her head. "I am never getting drunk again." Candice murmured. After a few minutes of just sitting at her desk, doing nothing but staring off into space, Candice started to work on her column.
What is Love?
Love is a beautiful thing. You cant buy it with just a dozen roses, a stuffed yet cute teddy bear or just money.
Love is a nice walk in the park, holding hands with your lover. Laughing at his or her jokes.
Love is a midnight picnic with the stars above you and the moonlight shining showing its natural beauty.
Love is an emotional roller coaster ride and you have to prepare on whats to come and what you'll expect.
Love makes you cry, makes you happy, it makes you warm inside.
It feels like joy, it feels like pain. Feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
Love is an excuse for dying, and a reason to live.
And that my friends is what love really is.
And with that being written, Candice put her pen down and re-read it. Wow. Not bad for a person who has a hangover. Candice smiled to herself at a job well done. There was a knock at the door. "Come in." Candice said not even bothering taking her eyes of the screen of her computer. "Candice." Candice reconginized that voice immediately. "Im not in the mood Jack." Candice shook her head as she began to type on what she just wrote. "Just here me out okay?" Jack asked nicely. Candice stopped looking at the computer and brought her attention toward her ex-boyfriend. "I am really sorry for the way I acted. I really care about you Candice...I-I love you. And if you just give me one more chance, I'll try and break this cycle you referred our relationship to." Jack explained. Candice thought about it for a moment. "I dont know." Candice shrugged her shoulders. "Please, Candice. Just give me one more chance." Jack begged her with pleading eyes. Wow. Jack most really care alot about me.
Candice thought about it for a long moment. "You'll have to promise me something first." Candice told him as she grabbed hold of his hand. "You have to promise me that you are a mature, nice, young man. I want you to love me, care for me, and not hurt me. I've been hurt too many times in this relationship Jack. And if you mess up Im not going to give you any more chances. You understand?" Candice asked him. "Understood." Jack told her. "Promise me that you'll change. If that happens, then there might be a future for us after all. I dont know what it holds for us but if you are willing to try then..." Candice took a deep breath as her mystery man came into play. "Fine." Candice simply said. "Thank you. Candice you have my word." Jack told her as he leaned and kissed Candice. The kiss was full of real emotion and love for Candice. This should be a nice start on Jack and Candice's relationship.
"Kissing on a job, thats not good Candy girl." A voice interrupted the two of them as they both broke apart and turned to see Randy. Candice was red as an apple and Jack glared at Randy. "Candice, I have something to tell you." Stephanie said entering the room. "What is it Steph?" Candice asked her boss. "Remember your supervisor, Glenn Jacobs?" Stephanie asked. "That big scary man that creeped me out everytime I see him." Candice stated. "Yes. Well, he quit today. Apparently he couldnt take this job anymore." Stephanie simply said. "Aww, so who's my new supervisor then?" Candice asked. "Funny you should ask that question." Stephanie said turning to Randy. "Candice, meet Randy Orton. You're new boss." Stephanie said introducing the two of them. Candice's mouth dropped in a little O, she couldnt believe what she just heard.
Randy stepped toward Candice's desk and stuck his hand out. "Hello, Candice Michelle. Its very nice to meet you." Randy said as Candice shook his hand. "I should be going now. I'll see you later Candice." Jack quickly went off the door avoiding to make Candice lose her job in front of her new boss. "Okay. Its go time people!" Stephaine clapped her hands dramatically and took off down the hall of her work building. Randy leaned over and whispered this in Candice's ear:
"Welcome to the Inferno."
The sequel will be posted soon, hopefully. So give me your thoughts on this chapter. Candice finally knows Randy's name, Jack and Candice are back together, Randy wants Candice and is now Candice's new boss.
The sequel is called: Strangers 2: The Inferno so be sure to keep your eyes out for the sequel!
