"After today, we are not doing this again. This is the last time for real!" I said.
"Sure," Ivan said without missing a beat, but I caught his sarcasm.
"I am dead serious," I insisted.
"Yes ma'am," he smirked. Ugh, I don't think he was trying to take me seriously at all. I need to get out of here right now!
"Ivan, you can't just bring me to your house and tell me I have to stay with you," I shook my head."I am not asking you to live with me. I am simply saying that I should take care of you since it is my fault for making you work hard when you are sick," he said.In a normal circumstance, I'd think he was the perfect gentleman and an amazing boss. But since I know he is after my booty, this seems like he is trying to take advantage of me being sick and trying to be close to me with an excuse to take care of me.
After a month or so, I found some flowers sitting on my desk. They were a beautiful bouquet of Roses.Oh? Is the boss breaking his promise and trying to woo me again? I thought to myself.Please, can we talk? I want to see you at least once.Love, MarkUgh...not this again. I should've known it was him. Ivan liked Lilies, not Roses. Mark has been call
"Shut up! Both of you!" I cried out. "I'm not some type of object you can claim. What is the matter with you? I am leaving," I said and tried to storm away, but Ivan grabbed my wrist."I apologize for showing up like this, but I can't stand by and watch you reconcile with a nobody like him," Ivan said and pointed at Mark. "He doesn't deserve you one bit!""Who are you calling a nobody, you asshole?" Mark stepped forward."You are a no-good che
In the next few days, I couldn't focus on work. I was freaking out.Pregnant! PREGNANT? Why me, why? This is a complete nightmare. Goodbye, independent woman, goodbye freedom. How am I going to take care of a baby and pursue my career all by myself? I suppose I could call my mom and ask for her help, but she'd want me to move back to Kentucky. And there was no way I'm going to do that.And then there's Ivan...I will have to give him the news too since he is the father. How is he going to handle it? Will h
I stood up abruptly. This is probably some type of joke. He is just trying to mess with me for denying his advances. "WHAT! That's not funny. This is a serious matter!" I exclaimed. "I'm not joking, Miss Young, or should I call you Mrs. Adams from now on?" Ivan smirked."Look, I decided to keep the baby, but I don't want to marry you! I meant we could coparent to help the kid grow up, and that's about it," I cried.
So, there I go, off to start my new life as the fiancé of Ivan Adams. How did I get here? Who would've thought my boss would turn out to be such a pain in the ass?I packed up all my belongings and left the apartment. Since I already had keys to Ivan's place, it was a smooth transition. At least his mansion was a hell of an upgrade from my shabby little apartment. I decided to make the best of it. Now, if only I could avoid the whole marriage deal."Ah, there you are. Hope you have everything you need from your old place," Ivan said when he saw me coming in.
Okay, I know what you are thinking. I keep saying I don't want him, yet, this is the third time I ended up in his bed. I'm a complete mess, I know. My feelings are all over the place.It was like my mind wanted to reject him for being an obnoxious jerk, but my body craved his touch. This is why I wanted to keep my distance from him, but that would be impossible considering we live together now."Could we keep our roommate situation on the down-low at work? I don't want people to gossip about me and say I screwed my boss to get to the top," I said in the morning.
"We are going to visit mother tomorrow and give her the news," Ivan said. We were sitting down to have dinner together. I had been avoiding him all day after the kiss we shared at the library."Okay, I told my mom already to deliver the big news," I said."Oh yeah? What did she say?" he asked."She is not happy about me getting pregnant before marriage, but she decided not to murder me since we are getting married anyway," I replied.
