Chapter 9
Meredith
I was the first one to slide out of the car and ran up to my apartment without needing to turn back to see if Gray was following.
He did.
What was I thinking? Bringing Gray Westmore to my apartment? For a cheap fuck? That sounds so horrible when I put it that way. I am single for almost a year now but sex with my boss?....Who is insanely hot and dangerous!?
I could hear my heartbeat in my eardrums, ba..dum..ba..dum. We are in the elevator riding up to my floor, he's behind me,his scent assaulting my senses that I could hardly stand straight. It isn't too late to back out but my guts told me that Gray Westmore wouldn't be ecstatic about my change of decision and I wasn't saying that because I wanted him or his body.Nope.
The elevator dinged, as well as my heart. Gray was the one to walk out,taking my hands in his and dragging me towards my apartment. I should b
chapter 10By Wednesday, I had convinced myself that Friday night never happened. I placed that thought at the back of my head, I refused to think about Gray although that was exactly what I had been doing for the last 24 hours, or was it 48 hours, Jumping Every time a ping sound comes from my phone.I was lazily scrolling through my Instagram feeds When Jenna, Gray's mother decided to Surprise me with her visit, I jumped up from my seat, spilling my coffee over the table. She came to sit at my table laughing with an apologetic expression.“Oh Dear, I didn't mean to scare you” A waiter approached us with a cloth, I apologized feeling so bad.“What brings you here Jenna?” I asked with a br
chapter 11We ended up on my bed... again. The kiss in my living room was the opening ceremony and then we moved to the couch, then to the bathroom, and lastly, we stumbled into my bed where we fell asleep and that was three hours ago.Gray lies on the right side of my bed while I stayed on the left side. He is snoring lightly with sheets covering up to his chest. I've been staring at him like a creep for the past ten minutes, wondering how the hell he got those long lashes and pink lips without applying any mascara or lipstick. Lips that kiss and suck so well. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts. My mind is always in the gutter whether I am at the office, with Ruth, or with the man himself. It's nauseating and a bit concerning that I can't unthink Gray's unholy images even in times not needed, specifically his coc…
Chapter 12“Holy...Holy...What happened to your eyes darling? Did some bees sting your eyeball or something?” Ruth announced her arrival with her dramatic gasp when she sees me munching apples perched on my kitchen counter.“Morning Darling' How ya doin’?” I greeted, trying to sound casual like I haven't been crying buckets last night. She pranced towards me in record time, tilting my face with her fingers towards her to get a better view of my face. “Meredith... Shouldn't you be worried about your face? It's... concerning” She echoed in a worried tone.“Mhh Pppmmm…dramatic.” Was my reply with my mouth full. She rolled her eyes and bit out “I am not being dramatic, I just need to know
Chapter 13There's always a sense of calmness that hits me right in my chest when I get to witness the pink and orange shade of the skies before it disappears right before the Sun comes up and then it suddenly turns blue and everything becomes normal again. Some Days It's not as pretty as the one I am seeing right now but a few times like today, the skies are exceptionally beautiful making me feel almost as if everything around me is beautiful except that it's not. My thoughts and mind seem to be consumed by the man who is unapologetically mean and crazily gorgeous.After he left me last night, Ruth and I had a long depth conversation on the phone for two hours that involved me begging for forgiveness at least in every sentence that I uttered until she forgave me and ordered me to spill everything that I'd been hiding from her. So, I d
Chapter 14Getting my brother to come to the city is a lot harder than I had anticipated. He's being the usual douche bag by rejecting my calls even after I had called him more times than I could count and when he did, he answered with his usual arrogant tone, making me want to tear his head open and inspect, to see what composed of his brain(Possibly kgs of dried dog poo), I threatened to crush his balls if he didn't come to meet me. So, here I am waiting for my dear brother.I watched him stroll lazily into the coffee shop and heads turned in his direction, mostly the opposite gender. I watched their eyes glow up and their faces showing interest at the sight of my brother strolling past them. That's the thing about my brother, girls love him despite his arrogant behaviour and his ego which is larger than his head. I rolled my eyes in
Chapter 15 God,God! Why had I asked Gray to buy me dinner? He'll be here in an hour which gives me only fifty minutes to get ready!? It's only a dinner and Why am I treating it as a fucking date or is it? It can't be, a date is supposed to be a guy asking a girl out or vice versa but in my case, I was the one asking him to buy me dinner in exchange for his shitty behaviour. So, It can't be a date. With that in mind, I rummaged through my closet for another ten minutes, finally choosing a flowery summer yellow cotton dress that is sleeveless yet looks modest and classy. This would do. Thirty minutes later, Hair ; Checked Mouth breath ;Fresh and minty. Make up ; Checked Purse and phone ; Checked Scrunchies on my wrist ; Checked The only thing that isn't ready for the evening is my trembling heart. For the life of me, I couldn't stop myself from picturing the way he held me, stared into my eyes and Spoke so gently. Under any circumstances,I would hav
Chapter 16 Two days later, Jonathan moved into my small apartment along with his female cat(Which Ruth was overly ecstatic about because She believes that her cat can get some action when brought together). I made sure to roll my eyes over her enthusiasm. However, One thing which made me worry is how Ruth drools over my brother rather openly and does not bother to hide her flirting but I couldn't say the same for my dear Brother who had started working in the restaurant nearby my apartment, today. As much as I worry about the extra electricity bills, water bills, and food expenses, the tiny good part of me was content at seeing my brother finally coming to his senses. Currently, Jonathan and I are sitting on my sofa watching Disney channels like the old times, munching on pizza and sipping coke from the bottle. The two of us were too lazy to get glasses after the long day we both had but this moment, it's golden and a great distraction from my issue( that is my heart.) L
Chapter 17 Finally, after the dreadful week of working and designing for the fashion week, I am oddly satisfied with how my designs work out. Zachary, bless his soul, was supportive and helpful when it came to helping me. He modeled, measured, and bought me food if I forgot to buy my lunch and dinner. Tonight is the night. The suit which I made would be worn by Zachary for the Runaway walk and it's killing me inside with nerves and excitement.For the evening, I wore my hair up in a bun with silver hoop earrings attaching my ears and colored my lips red that looked like I drank blood. It was my confident look(according to Ruth) but under the bold makeup and black sexy dress that has a slit in the middle that shows my thigh, I am filled with nerves, tension, and stress. Rose met me at the doorstep when I arrived looking like I belonged on the red carpet. She whistled and linked her arms around me, dragging me into the staff offic
