Fallen for Daddy's Friend 19 — Mark my whole body
I wish I could live forever in this weekend. Unfortunately, reality comes fast, like a cold breeze coming through the window. And Monday has arrived, the day I hate the most. Because not only a new week is coming to torture me, but duties are also knocking on my door, as well as the fact that I'll have to see Laura's face again.Well, at least I can debut my new clothes… especially the ones I bought for the office.As I leave my apartment, not quite ready to start a new hard week, I freeze in place. Julian is leaning against the side of his door, typing something on his phone. Seeing his perfectly combed hair, I can't help but remember how I tangled my fingers in it… But I stop my thoughts when I feel his eyes on me, and a discreet smile lands on his lips, so seductive that it steals my breath as well.“A scarf?” He asks with a certain amusement, putting his phone away in his pants pocket and coming over to me slowly.“Someone left hickeys all over my neck.” I grumble, tapping my heel

The air was taken out of my lungs. I quickly stand up and make my way out of the conference room with quick steps, making my way to Julian's office. I knock twice on the door, and, thanks to his quick response, I open the door and sneak inside.Julian raises an eyebrow at the sight of me and lowers the papers to the desk, keeping his beautiful green eyes on me. “I can't do that.” I'm quick to say. In fact, my words come out like bullets. And from his confused expression, I add, walking in circles around the room, “Being team leader? I'm definitely not ready for that.”He tilts his head slightly and leans back in his chair, relaxing his back.“Don't look at me like that!” I stop, arms crossed. “I'm serious.”“You've been with the company for a year now.”“This is a big project, Julian. The best should be the leader, not me.” I sigh regretfully. “What if I told you that you're the best person for this position?” Julian raises his eyebrow, with a smile threatening to rise at the corner
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 21 — Just a normal day… (?)
“You guys can continue to settle in appropriately. We will have a brief meeting at 03pm, so until then, study up on the project and make your own considerations, write down any ideas you have — I want to hear from each of you.” I say, receiving only a few quiet confirmations and nods.Going to my desk, I take a deep breath, wanting to disappear behind the partition. But my new workstation forces me to face all the team members.Taking a deep breath, I try to ignore the hostile stares that I know are on me, burning my skin. Especially Laura’s.I glance at Sarah, the woman with medium-brown hair, so elegant, that seems to be a natural part of the corporate world. Behind the lenses of her glasses are sharp brown eyes, so severe that they appear to judge every inch of me. Sarah has been with the company for at least four years, and her commitment is simply enviable. There are even rumors that she will be promoted, and there's no doubt that she belongs in the management position. It's as i
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 22 — Oh, no… not again.
No… There’s no way he’s flirting with me… Right?I cough, feeling the piece of sandwich get stuck in my throat, so I take a sip of my coffee, trying to relieve the distressing feeling and this embarrassment…“Well… I'll let you enjoy your lunch…. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, okay?”“Right, okay, thank you…” I give a forced smile and avert my eyes, feeling my cheeks heat up.I try to eat as quickly as possible. Maybe it will give me indigestion that will haunt me for the rest of the day, but it feels strange to be under this man's eyes all the time… especially when we're complete strangers.Even though he has dated my best friend, I have not met him… Actually, I didn’t even know which of the ex-boyfriends is he. Laura has a serious problem with man… she has terrible taste. They're usually very attractive, but always turn out to be problematic guys.I remember her coming crying to my house saying that her last boyfriend broke up with her without saying why, that he j
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 23 — Empty expression of affection
Indeed, I wish this was some kind of nightmare… I even pinch myself to make sure I'm not asleep and, to my complete dismay, it's nothing but reality.That damn bouquet of white roses is so big that there are easily hundreds of flowers squeezed into the arrangement, practically overflowing; there are even some petals loose at the table.Julian stops, noticing my reaction… and his eyes follow the same path as mine, finding the bouquet that draws his attention too. Honestly, I feel my heart stopping right now. I can't believe that, once again, Eric has sent flowers to my office…When he sent it that first time, I simply ignored his messages. I saw no reason to answer, especially since I made it clear that there's absolutely nothing between us anymore.And if that's not reason enough, Laura is pregnant with his child! This should be more than enough for him to stop this pathetic and empty expression of affection. Because if he really had loved me, he wouldn't have done what he did. I kno
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 24 — What a liar.
“Eric?” My voice comes out faltering, and I hate myself for sounding so weak at that moment. “W-What are you doing here?”“Is that all you have to say after keeping me waiting for half an hour, Angel?” He approaches with a gentle expression and an equally meek tone — one that, for some reason, makes me feel anxious…“I didn't even know you were here.”Because if I had known, I would have called Julian to go with me.“You blocked me from everything… This is the only way I can talk to you.” He stops in front of me, closer than I would like, to the point where he allows me to smell his cologne mixed with the sweat that, honestly, is making me sick.“I did this precisely so you would stop contacting me... I was clear when I said that things were over between us. So, what are you doing here?” I cross my arms, as if that would somehow protect me… But to my misfortune, I forgot that my clothes are entirely different from what Eric is used to imposing on me.Even though my blouse doesn't have
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 25 — JULIAN ADAMS (POV)
I consider myself a controlled person… someone who doesn't get carried away by emotions… But all this is shattered when it comes to Angelee.And now… right now… I'm about to destroy this kid's face.“What?” I hear Eric’s voice sound sharper, and I move my gaze that had been following Angelee's back over my shoulder to look at him, right into his eyes.I straighten my posture, putting one of my hands in my pockets because otherwise I really will go to jail for assault. Gritting my teeth, I try to control this intense desire to give in to the beast in me, blinded by feelings that even I cannot understand.Honestly, from the day I first laid eyes on him… I didn't like him. His eyes sparkled when saw her, and always had a stupid smile on his face, trying to win her over little by little. Yes, he seemed like a nice guy, but I just couldn't like him, and I never understood why…When Angel suddenly agreed to date him, I avoided them at all costs… I simply knew that something was wrong, but p
Fallen for Daddy's Friend 26 — Stay with you tonight
I can't believe what Eric did. I'm so angry and scared and… furious! Even when we parked in our building and Julian brought me to the front of my apartment, holding my shoulders, I could feel my body shaking. And even though the door is here, in front of me, and the key is in my hand, I find myself unable to open it.Looking at Julian, I notice his soft expression, his green eyes that glow intensely with something I cannot understand. He's standing beside me, waiting for me to enter the apartment. But my hesitation is getting his attention, I can tell by the way he studies my face, my frowning lips, and my cold body. I know I shouldn't bother him any more than I already have… for putting him in this big mess, but…“Julian?” I say softly, surprised that I’m able to call his name. “Can I stay with you tonight?”I think my question has him surprised because I see how his eyes widen slightly. And I immediately regret it, feeling an intense chill take over my chest. I open my lips to say t
