Markus
“Sir, we have the launch party in two weeks, Saturday to be precise” said someone from my staff, I don’t know what I have to do with the launch party, I know it’s my app and all but it’s not like I have to clean the party after everyone leaves, so why tell me? I own the company, I know everything that goes on here, isn’t it obvious I’ll know about the launch party as well. These people get to my nerve, why can’t everyone be just like Lizzy? Straight forward and simple, no buttering their way up to get in my good graces, in short Lizzy was perfect.
Yet for some reason my brain always kept me on high alert around her, she was perfect and that was the fault. A girl as beautiful and smart as her could woe any guy and that scared the crap out of me, I want to give her the best parts of myself but this little voice in my brain keeps warning me ‘don’t you understand you piece of shit!

LizzyI took a deep breath and recalled all the events from last night, how does sex with this guy gets better and better each time? And why can’t I resist him? I know answers to both of these questions and yet I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. After he came rushing to my shop yesterday, I couldn’t keep myself from melting in his arms and holding on to his warmth, he smelled like home and everything I’ve ever wanted.When he pulled me in for a kiss, my heart squeezed in my chest and it felt different this time, more intimate than all the sex we’d ever had, it felt like invisible strings pulling us together and keeping us attached, no matter how far we were. We went to my apartment yesterday, no particular reason other than the fact that it was closer but this time he didn’t ravage me like the day before, he was gentle, and sweet even, he made LOVE to me last night and that’s what took me off guard.

MarkusThat week went on to be the highlight of our relationship, every moment that we spent together took us closer to my end goal, ‘making her all mine’. Mostly, we’d end up sleeping at her place but when the time came, I asked her if she wanted to keep a few pair of clothes at my place and she replied “sure, why not” but I could see, she was happy with the prospect of moving in. I just had to take it slow and show her that I am capable of a long-term relationship, trust and L…not yet.The L word was practically begging to spill out of my mouth but I kept it shoved deep in my heart, how long have I known Elizabeth Cooper? Two months, that’s not long enough to make confessions about love. She needs more time and I’m sure it’s my dick speaking and not my heart.Something had shifted in our relationship in the last week, I couldn’t point out what exactly but I could feel it in our conve

LizzyIf someone asks me about the one time in my life that I truly enjoyed or lived the most? It would be this week and not all those years I spent in college learning about chocolates because even though it is my passion it doesn’t give me the sense of security that spending my time with Markus does. For once, I wasn’t scared to give Markus and me a chance, it could be a very spontaneous decision and it might back fire at any given time but what is life without a few risks anyway? It was a Saturday when I got to meet his brother and mind you, it was not a very good first impression and I think that memory will haunt me for the rest of my glorious life.The morning sun light peeked from the curtains and spread all across my face, this is annoying. I groaned and put out a single hand to see if Markus was still in bed, surprisingly he wasn’t. So, I dragged myself out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom to get rid of my crocodile

Markus“Mark, I don’t feel well, please take me to a hospital” Lizzy whines and I roll my eyes good naturedly, we are heading to my parents property for the Sunday dinner and she’s been saying the same thing since we got into the car, so much for being an independent, strong woman.“You know my parents aren’t thugs, right?” I ask with a wolfish grin and she groans, “not you too” she sighs “I’m just a little nervous, I haven’t done this thing before and I don’t know what to expect” she looks out from the passenger seat window. I grab her hand from her thigh and give it a squeeze, “they’re going to love you Lizzy, just like I do” oh fuck! ‘Please don’t notice it’ but of course she did, I held my breath waiting for the blow to come. But it never did.She didn’t mention it just took a deep breath and released it, “I gue

Lizzy While we make our way to the dining room, I spot and a few photo frames scattered around the table and stop to look at them. Markus looks over at me and places a hand at the small of my back, “is that you?” I ask, inspecting a picture of a naked baby with just a single diaper on. “Don’t I look dapper as always?” he wiggles his eyebrows and I laugh “you’re so full of yourself”. As I looked over all the pictures that were so beautifully laid out on the counter top I couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at how amazing Markus’s childhood must have been. All of his pictures are of his family laughing together and enjoying their vacation, if only my mom was alive, I could have had it all. ‘But she’s not’ I tell myself, ‘get it together’ Markus rubs his hand on the small of my and softly says “hey!” I clear my throat before I start to cry and fake a laugh “you know, I’m kind of jealous seeing all these pictures” I say honestly “you’

MarkusThe following week is going to be a nightmare, with the launch party just a week away I don’t think leaving office is possible which means that much less time to spend with her. But it’s fine, we have all our lives to spend it with each other. Monday morning arrives and the whole office is in a frenzy, the venue, the guest, the freaking lights, everything needs to be finalized and who better than the CEO himself. I love the tech part; I really do but all this other shit gets to my nerves. I don’t leave the office that day, not until 2AM in the morning, and I can’t exactly go banging at her door at this hour. She is my escape from this technical world, something that keeps me sane and going. Now, it is just plain empty without her, I texted her earlier telling her that I was busy and couldn’t make it today. I don’t want her to feel abandoned or feel worthless as if I used her for sex, I need to get things straight wit

LizzyTwo fucking days! It’s been two days since we last saw each other, and my nerves are all over the place. I want to trust him, and I do but it’s just a lot more complicated than that, the need to see him every day is too strong. When Wednesday slides by and I don’t get a text from him, I freak out. His office is around ten minutes away from my shop, he’s always been coming to ‘me’ since the beginning of this relationship.I sigh, ‘I need to make the first move this time’ I say to myself and leave my shop around lunch time. I close the security doors and flip the sign board to ‘closed’. I make my way to our favorite Chinese takeout place and carry our parcel while I walk towards his office. I stand there gawking at the pristine building of Markus’s company “Blue Space”, the company logo stands tall at the top of the building, gleaming in the sunlight.The bui

Lizzy“Here we go” the lady says, when we stop in front of large mahogany doors. This is the only cabin made out of wood on the whole floor, everything else is made out of transparent glass. The name plate on the door reads “CEO” and I smile looking at it.“If he starts yelling at you, I’m out of here” the receptionist warns, I give her a bright smile and she knocks at the door with her knuckles three times. We wait for exactly five seconds before his frustrated voice booms through the door “what is it that you guys want now” I flinch and the lady beside me flinches too, he is quite loud and irritated, I hadn’t heard him like that before the stupid lady beside me smirks and I roll my eyes.She then goes to open the door and speaks through the small gap “sir, there’s a lady here who wishes to speak to you” I hear Markus sigh and mutter an irritated “fuck” be
