LOGINSamantha was broke and desperate. Her brother had the perfect solution. Go work for his best friend. But why the hell would Sam want to work for Ares Beck after he spent his whole life bullying her? And better question, why is he so desperate to have her as his PA that he would tell Ben to have her apply in the first place?

Worst day ever.
Today was the first day of my freshmen year at Eastvale High School. I'd had high hopes to make a friend when I finally got here... But it turns out, no one wants me. They all want Ben.
My big brother. He's a senior and popular. He has so many girls crawling all over him, and he loves it. He's a TE on the football team and he hangs out with the rest of the popular crowd... Including the stupid skanky girls. I don't know how many times I walked in on my brother and some random chick in our house... Then they'd treat me like I'm some sort of maid. Like, what the hell?
And for some reason, he doesn't see it. He just laps up all the attention, showing off for anyone who will bother to look. It's disgusting how he acts like he's God's gift to the world.
So does his stupid best friend Ares... But I don't want to talk about him. Ares is the QB on the team. He is THE MOST popular boy in school. And I get it he's handsome and suave...
Once upon a time I had a crush on him... Until I realized what a player he is. When he was a freshman, he'd had a girl in his room every single day of the week... and they weren't even the same girl! Ew! No thank you! I have gotten over my stupid little crush on him years ago. Now I just try to stay away from him.
I'd much rather find a nice guy who just likes me. I don't want to be a number or a notch on his bed post. I've been looking for a nice computer nerd type guy. They wouldn't be like Ares and Ben, right? They wouldn't treat me like some slut.
Today I had 5 different girls coming up to me asking me if I could get them to Ares or Ben. The short answer. NO! I would not go up to my brother and Ares and beg them to sleep with some random chick who will suddenly pretend to like me, until my brother or Ares ditches her for the next flavor of the day. It never turns out well for me in the end.
I swear I haven't had my own best friend that didn't want anything to do with Ben since I was in Kindergarten... And then she moved away. I still miss Lucy. At least I knew she was mine!
Now I have nobody. Do you have any idea how lonely it is growing up under my brother? I can't get a single damn friend. All the girls just use me as some door mat to get what they want.
Since then, it's been the same damn thing. I'm so tired... I'm tempted to change my last name... Or better yet, call Aunt Jenny and ask if I can move in with her. She lives 3 hours away. There is no way anyone would have heard of Ben Jones! Better yet, I won't have to look in that smug face of Ares ever again! I'm really starting to like this idea!
Someone bumps into me and I land in the lockers. My shoulder stings, and I rub it trying to get rid of the pain faster.
"Oh! I'm sorry," a cute guy turns slightly as he gets pulled down the hallway by some girl. He sends me a wink and I can't help the blush.
I wish like hell I had a boyfriend of my own. Am I really not date-able? I know I'm not ugly... I'm pretty! Not that I'm stuck up like my idiot brother or anything, but I have long dark brown locks and deep green eyes that match my brothers. I have a curvy figure, but I'm not fat. What the hell is so wrong with me?
Why can't I have a sweet boyfriend like any normal girl? One that wasn't all about attention. Just me and him... But I doubt I'll be getting that until I make it to college... Somewhere far away from my brother and his player best friend.
I huff and turn around when I reach the wall and head back to the kitchen. "Just because he can be charming for one lunch doesn't mean he's changed!" What does it matter if he's changed or not? If he is giving me a job, I should be grateful! And maybe I am grateful, but I don't want to be hurt again. I'm an adult! I don't want him to go back to playing those dumb games with me!But the time 7:30 rolled around, I'd talked myself out of going to work and re-talked myself into going to face Ares at least one hundred times. I'm still not sure which one is winning. Maybe the best thing to do is not to decide yet, and lets just see how this all plays out.Then there was a honk at my door.Surprisingly, Ares was kind enough to ensure I had transportation to work. I have my own car, but it doesn't mean it won't suddenly break down... It's embarrassing, and I wonder if Ares knew that. He seems to know everything else about me. I guess he didn't want to take any chances with my junk heap of a c
Sam's POVI've been pacing my room since 4 this morning. Around 5:30 I decided to take a shower. Finally at 6 I started to worry about what the hell I'm supposed to wear for work. Nothing I have seems to be good enough for Beck Technology. Most of these clothes were used in college. I don't have anything fancy... Then again do I need to be fancy if I'm just his PA?I decided I'd wear my black slacks and green blouse. It brings out my eyes. I don't have a lot of jewelry, but I put on a gold chain and studs Mom and Dad gave me for Christmas one year. I think it brings a touch of elegance to the outfit. Simple yet sophisticated... I hope. Now I'm second guessing my entire outfit! What if he thinks I'm trying too hard? Am I not trying hard enough?I brush my hair and wonder if I should braid it or leave it down. I finally decide to do a half pony. It keeps it out of my face and still looks professional. I freaking out about every damn little decision I make today. I really need this job!
"Well... I wanted to break out on my own..." I shrugged my shoulders. There is no way I'm telling him he ran me out of state. Would he even care if I told him the truth? And what would he say to that? 'Oh, I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to to make your life a living hell.' Yeah, that's what I thought."You could've stayed here and your parents would've been happy to have you stay home while you went to school," he stated. I watch as he drums his fingers on the steering wheel in agitation. I didn't know this would bother him so much. I was only gone for four years. And why would he care? He'd built himself an empire and probably screwed half the girls in the state of New York!But what could I even say to his statement? He was right! My parents both told me they would be happy to have me stay home while I studied. It would have but my debt down by half if I'd stayed home with my parents. But I just couldn't! Not when Ben and Ares were still hovering over me like a dark cloud."It really
I open my eyes, surprised I'd closed them, only to find Ares giving me a look I've never seen before. He swallows hard and the movement catches my eye. I swear there is lust bursting from his eyes as he squeezes his fork.Then he clears his throat and focuses on his own plate.. "It's been awhile since I've seen you. How was school?" he asks, trying to sound casual, but there is something off about it."It was fun," I smile thinking back to my years away.We spend the next two hours talking about our separate lives. And I find myself asking him about his company. I know it's a tech company, but he started it right out of school. It's been growing ever since.I asked him about his parents and he told me they were in Rome at the moment. They finally retired a year ago and they wanted to get reacquainted with each other... I guess they are on their second honeymoon.I find that romantic. I wish someone would take me on a trip somewhere. I haven't been anywhere other than school. I would l
Sam's POVThat damn man!I have no idea how he knows, but he knows I'm desperate and he gave me the one thing in the world that will make me stay and listen to him. And he just used it like he knows I need that like a life raft. He's not stupid, I'll give him that. He's clever, but he's calculating, and that scares the hell outta me."Listen Sam. I know I've been an asshole to you," he swallows. He runs his fingers through his hair, messing it up slightly. I think I like it better like this. "I never meant for it to be like that... I just... You were... I mean..." He looks so flustered as he stumbles over his words.I've never known Ares to stumble over his words like this, or look so unsure of himself. I almost want to laugh out loud. Just what exactly is he trying to say that has him acting like this? If I don't ask him, I guess I might never get a straight answer."You mean what?" I finally try to redirect the conversation. I am not sure I really want to know the answer to this, bu
I want to smile like some love-struck idiot. I finally won! But I can't let her know how happy it makes me or she'll back out instantly. As long as I act like this is all business, she couldn't stop me from getting what I want.I wrap my arm around her waist and her body stiffens against mine. That's fine. I'm just getting her used to the idea of me being next to her. Because I will be. For a very long time.I take my private elevator down to my car and help her in. She is the first one in my car with the intent of keeping her and not taking her home to screw her brains out. But I'm not going to tell her that.Soon we are making our way into the center of the city and I pull up in front of my favorite Italian restaurant. I also happen to know Italian is her favorite too, so I'm not worried she won't like what's on the menu.The hostess greeted me with a huge smile. "Mr. Beck," she coos, and I almost face-palm myself. I forgot she worked here, and she obviously is oblivious to the fact
