*Willow*
Today was finally the day!
The internship was starting. I had my new car, my tight outfits and my mind in the right place. Nathaniel Watson was going down.
“Woah, Willow, you look great!” Levi smiled as I waited for my coffee to be done.
“Thank you, Levi. I got a lot of new clothes just for the internship.”
“They’re working for you.”
“Morning all,” Joy entered the kitchen. “Lookin good, Auntie Willow.”
“I have asked you on many occasions not to call me that! It makes me sound old.”
“Is that why you have those wrinkles?” Nathaniel asked.
“Wow, that would hurt my feelings if it came from someone with a higher GPA and a new Aston Martin, but…you don’t have those do you?” I smirked.
“You look really trampy in that outfit.”
“Oh no, I hope I don’t catch the attention of any powerful men.”
“You’ve stooped that low?” Nathaniel asked.
“When you go low, I take you to hell. You’ll feel comfortable there, it’s where you’re from.” I smiled, bringing the coffee mug to my lips.
“No way you two are arguing this early,” Julian yawned. “Joy, can you drive?”
“You said you would.”
“I had a late night.”
“Doing what?” She questioned.
“We went and got drinks last night,” Nathaniel informed her. “Just to take the edge off.”
“We have a bar here.” I said.
“Well we didn’t want to stay here, Willow. We wanted to get away from your trollish smell.”
“Always a true gentleman, Nathaniel. Anyways, I’m going, see you there.”
“Don’t crash your car!” Nathaniel called. “Or do!”

I looked up at the building in front of me.
Vortex Enterprises. One of the most prestigious software companies in the business. People would die to work here.
So would I.
I walked into the building and made my way to the elevator. As it was closing someone slipped inside.
A smile came across my face as when I saw Orlando Ruiz. He was so hot.
Rich, brown skin, perfect black hair that was both wild, and yet tamed and a smile that made me want to faint. He also had a stud in his nose that I thought was so sexy.
“Hey, Willow,” Orlando grinned as his chocolate brown eyes looked me up and down. “You’re looking good.”
“Oh um…yeah you are too Orlando. I love that tie.” I smiled.
“I like your…everything, honestly.”
“Are you excited?”
“Oh yeah, I hear they’re pairing us off. Hope we get to be partners.” Orlando said.
“Yeah, me too. I think we would work really well together.”
“And I think there’s many places where we would work well together.” Orlando bit his lip.
Oh my god, Nathaniel was right! Orlando really did like me.
“After you,” Orlando gestured.
I was sure he was looking at my ass as we walked. I entered the room and saw we were the first ones there. Perfect.
We sat down and I noticed how Orlando’s eyes fell on my thighs where my skirt was riding up.
“Liking the view?” I asked.
“It’s very nice.” Orlando licked his lips as the door opened.
“Oh, you two are here,” Nathaniel sat down across from us. “Getting well acquainted are we?”
“Very.” Orlando grinned.
Slowly everyone else filtered in. Joy sat next to me and Julian took a seat next to Nathaniel. They whispered as two men walked into the room.
I straightened up in my seat and put my focus on them. Everyone else quieted down.
“Good morning,” The taller, younger man spoke. “My name is Jude Howe. I am the CFO of Vortex Enterprises.”
“And I’m Russell Howe, the CEO of Vortex Enterprises,” His father smiled. “It’s so nice to see so many young smiling faces this morning.”
“Hey, I’m still young, Dad.” Jude laughed. “So it looks like everyone is here.”
I looked around and there were only twelve people there. They took six people from Wrenford and six from Wildwood. Our schools definitely had a bit of competition, but Wrenford was better.
“I hope you all came prepared,” Russell announced. “Your internship starts now.”
*Nathaniel*
“Do I have to get there early?” Orlando groaned on the phone.
“Yes! That will impress Willow. She finds guys who are overly prepared and early really hot. She’s weird like that.” I informed him.
“Okay, what else do I need to do?”
“Come on strong. She’s not gonna waste her time with a guy who beats around the bushes.”
“Should I just fuck her in the elevator then?” Orlando laughed.
“Ew. I don’t need to know any of that shit.” I said dully. “Just seduce her.”
“So why did you decide to help me man?”
“Honestly? Sometimes I forget that Willow is a girl. Sex and romance will distract her from this internship and I will crush her.”
“Dude, that's sick.” Orlando said.
“Too sick for you to go after her with my advice?” I asked.
“Definitely not, I want her badly.”
“Start off by getting there early, we’ll go from there.”
“Alright thanks.” Orlando stated.
“No, thank you.”
I jumped as my window opened. Julian fell into my room.
“What the hell are you doing?” I asked, helping him up.
“Sorry, it was just too hard to get to my room.” He said.
“Are you just now getting home?”
“Yeah, it was a wild night, Nathaniel. Oh I wish you could have seen me!”
“Julian, are you going to take the internship seriously with all this other shit you’re doing?” I asked.
“Yeah, sure I am. The internship is during the day. This is all at night.”
“You can’t keep sneaking back in in the morning!”
“I know, but I’m having so much fun, Nathaniel! This makes me happy.” Julian smiled.
He did look happier than I’d ever seen him. I wished he could just tell his parents about this. I hated keeping this secret and they needed to know what made him happy.
But just like me and Willow, Julian wanted to make his parents proud.

“Your internship starts now.” Russell said.
I was so ready.
“Now, all of you are here because you are highly recommended by someone very prominent in the industry,” Jude looked down at his clipboard. “We have Julian Watson-Windsor. Your family is very well known!”
“Yeah, as my name states, I am the son of Scarlett Watson-Wrenford and Lee Windsor.” Julian smiled. “My dad recommended me for this internship.”
“We expect great things from you. And then recommended by Grayson Wrenford, we have Joy Watson-Wrenford. You two are twins, correct?” Russell asked.
“Yes, twins and half siblings,” Joy laughed. “It was a crazy time in our mom’s life.”
“Oh I do recall that,” Russell chuckled. “Let’s see. Recommended by Scarlett Watson are Willow and Nathaniel.”
“How do you two know Scarlett?” Jude asked.
“She’s my sister.” We chorused before glaring at each other.
“So you guys are siblings?”
“God no.” We responded.
“So you were born on the same day and you’re both related to Scarlett, but you’re not related?” Jude chuckled. “You sure you want to be in business? You guys could definitely have a movie made about you.”
“You’ll see this is exactly where I belong.” Willow smiled.
“And I belong even more.” I assured them.
Jude chuckled. “This will be fun. Okay. Orlando Ruiz…you’re not the grandson of Emmanuel Ruiz are you?”
“I sure am,” Orlando answered with a grin on his face. “My grandpa taught me everything.”
I glanced at Willow and she was staring dreamily at him. Oh this was going to be too easy! Willow was so desperate!
“And then we have Andrea Burress, from the Burress family right?” Russell asked.
Andrea was so boring it made me want to snore. My eyes shifted around the room and landed on a girl from Wildwood.
She smiled at me. Wow this girl was hot. Green eyes, flirtatious smile, flawless olive skin, shiny brown hair. Now she was something to look at.
“Shauna Bailey. Your father is James Bailey?” Jude questioned.
“He is. And my mother is Laura Bailey. A supermodel turned media mogul.” The girl smiled.
The daughter of a model? Right up my alley.
“Okay, you will be rated on your own solo performance, but you will be working in pairs for most of this internship and even groups for some projects.” Russell informed us. “Why don’t you guys pick who you want to pair up with?”
Willow looked torn between Joy and Orlando.
“It’s okay,” Joy mouthed to her. “Go get him.”
Willow smiled. “Partners?” She asked Orlando.
“Sure, babe.”
Julian was my partner and Joy decided she’d work with Shauna. Even she didn’t want to work with Andrea.
“Okay, everyone picked?” Jude asked. We nodded. “Look at the person directly across from you. That will be your real partner this summer.”
No, no, no!
I had to work with Willow Monroe all summer?
Kill me now.
*Nathaniel*“What?” I asked. “B-but we just chose our partners.”“True, but the first lesson you’ll learn is to expect the unexpected,” Jude grinned. “Sometimes you have to quickly change gears and work with people you never have before.”Joy and Julian didn’t look too upset. They got to work together. Lucky for them.“Go ahead and move next to your partners.”Willow and I were in a standoff. “Are you going to come over here?” She asked. “No you come over here.”“Nathaniel, really?”I crossed my arms. Willow forced a smile on her face and got up. She plopped down in the seat next to me and glared at me. “I have to tell you something,” She whispered. “What?” I asked. “Your cologne is offensive and my nostrils burn.” “And you still look like a tramp.” Jude passed us all folders. “This is your first assignment. You have to find the bug in the system and eliminate it. You have until Friday.”“Don’t software testers usually do that?” Orlando asked. “Yes, but if you want to make it
*Willow*“You look incredible, Willow.” Orlando said as we sat down for dinner.I had on a tight blue silk dress. It looked a lot more expensive than it actually was. “You look handsome. So what is this sudden interest in me?”“I’ve always been interested in you. I just finally feel like you’re interested in me too.”“You’re not horrible to look at,” I grinned. “And neither are you.” Orlando winked. “So…what do I need to know?”“About what?”“About you? I mean all I know are the basics about Willow Monroe, but I want to go deeper.”I wasn’t sure if he meant sexually or mentally. I was open to both.“I wanna create my own company one day,” I said. “That I’m the CEO of. I want to show people what I can do. That I’m more than Scarlett’s sister. Or a vessel for my mom to win some crazy rivalry.”“I see. I feel the same way actually. Everyone just thinks of me as Emmanuel Ruiz’s grandson.”“What do you want to do with your life?” I asked. “Honestly? I have no idea.”I was kind of shocke
*Nathaniel*Willow wouldn’t even breathe in my direction for the next couple of days.She was beyond pissed with me and I loved it. We were given new bugs to find in our system since Jude didn’t want us ahead of the others. Willow always got to work in the computer lab first so she could take the lead. I didn’t mind. I was more focused on winning the next challenge.Today she was muttering under her breath the way she always did when she got hyped up. I was throwing this girl off just like I wanted to. “Psst!” I swiveled around to see Shauna. “What are you doing tonight?”“Why? You wanna wine and dine me?” I grinned. I was surprised when she nodded. “Yeah, actually…unless you’re not allowed out at night.”“I think I can make it happen.”“We’ll talk at lunch.” Shauna winked at me.Willow snorted. “What?” I asked. “She’s playing you.”“How do you figure?” “Look at her…then look at you. Look at her again. She’s the daughter of a supermodel, she can have any man she wants…why would
*Nathaniel*I checked my reflection a million times. I think I looked pretty damn hot, if I did say so myself. Shauna was going to want to devour me. As I went to close my balcony doors I noticed Willow on hers. She was staring into space I think. She was probably thinking of that night. Most of the time I forget it. I mean it didn’t happen to me, so why would I care and think about it so much? I didn’t need to. I had a date.--Shauna answered the door to her condo in a sexy red dress that was leaving nothing up to the imagination. I swear my mouth was watering.“Come in,” She smiled.“Smells amazing,” I commented. “Thanks. So…what did you tell Willow you’re doing tonight?”“Drinks with Julian. She didn’t suspect a thing.” Shauna bit her lip. “I bet. Want a drink?”“Got any whiskey?” I questioned. “Only the best. Take a seat.”I settled on the couch and waited for my drink. “So you and Willow sure did solve that bug problem quickly. How did you do that?”I was going to brag ab
*Willow*“Um, what are you doing here?” Gerald asked. “Getting a drink. What are you doing working here? You’re supposed to have some paid medical internship right?”“Well the thing about that is…I don’t.”“Meaning?”“Look, I dropped out of med school and now I have no idea what I’m doing. This was the best job I could find. It pays shockingly well.” He admitted. “Gerald, why did you drop out?” I whispered. “I thought you were so excited to be a doctor.”He sighed. “I’m not. Look, my shift is about to end. Just go in and I’ll have a drink with you. I’m waiting for someone anyways.I nodded before going in. I ordered a vodka cranberry and waited at the table. Girls were dancing on the stage. They were all very pretty.Gerald joined a few minutes later. “I thought you were supposed to be at the comedy club.”“I’ll go back in a few. Show doesn’t start for like half an hour. Just needed some air.” I shrugged. “You okay?”“I hate when people ask me that, you know? No one used to ask me
*Nathaniel*“I didn’t know you could draw,” I commented. “There’s a lot of things you don’t know.” Willow responded. “God you’re an asshole.”“Takes one to know one”“Mature. How did Orlando take you canceling?” I asked. “He got all moody. The man is insatiable.”“Disgusting. You’re not gonna be his girlfriend right?”“What the fuck do you care?” Willow questioned. “God, I'm just making conversation!”“Well mind your own fucking business! I don’t ask you about Shauna. She’s weird by the way.”“How?” I questioned as though I didn’t know she was straight out of her mind.“She seems to think we’re friends or something, it’s very odd.”“Yeah that is weird.” I muttered. I would never mention to Willow that Shauna thought we were dating. Then I might have to admit that everytime I cum with Shauna she makes me say Willow’s name. It’s so fucking strange how quickly I got used to it. “Nathaniel?” Scarlett popped her head in the computer room. “Have you seen Gerald?”“Um, he has his medic
*Nathaniel*No, no, no!I could not be stuck in an elevator with Willow! This was a living nightmare.“No, it has to work!” I exclaimed, as I slammed the button. “Yeah, keep doing that, I’m sure it will work.” Willow rolled her eyes.“Oh shut up!” I snapped. “Why don’t you get your phone out and text someone?”She reached in her purse and groaned. “No fucking service.”I checked my own phone. Same thing. Instead I reached for the elevator phone. “Hello? Anyone here.”I was met with static and nothing else. Great, so it didn’t even fucking work. What was the point?“I didn’t see Gerald’s car out there.” Willow stated. “So what?”“So he’s not home yet. He’ll get here and see that the elevator isn’t working. We’ll be rescued.”“Yeah, how long do we have to wait for that?” I asked. “How the hell am I supposed to know?”“You don’t have to be so bitchy, you know?”“Neither do you.” Willow slid down the floor. I did the same on the other side. We just stared at each other. I wasn’t sure
*Nathaniel*A pool party was the perfect way to relax this weekend. We invited everyone from the internship over to the mansion for a fun day of swimming and drinking. It was finally starting to feel like a real summer.“This is exactly what I need,” Julian grinned as he put his sunglasses on. “An actual relaxing weekend.”“You’re not gonna do…the thing this weekend right?” “No, I’ll take a break. But Monday I’m back on it.”“You have to tell Joy, man. She knows something is up.”Julian groaned. “She will not understand me at all, man. I mean how do I tell her that I love-”“Whoo!” Joy ran out of the mansion and jumped in the pool, causing a loud splash. Levi jumped in after her. I guess we would have to discuss this later. Not an hour later, the backyard was filled with all our friends. “Where the hell is Willow?” Orlando asked. “My dick is twitching for her.”“Disgusting. And I don’t know, getting ready I guess.”“How am I doing with her? Keeping her distracted well?”“Um, may
