Clarissa's POV"Bitch!!! Where the hell you at? A very hot dude dropped off my car minutes ago, I thought you had been kidnapped, almost called the cops until he told me pretty handsome CEO, has you in his crib" Maya's voice screeched into the phone after she picked up.I just chuckled "Yes I'm at Tristan's place, sorry I didn't call you earlier, I was a bit busy" I whispered out to her and I heard her gasp"Girl, you're out there having the best sex and I'm here worrying my ass out for you" she almost yells making me laugh out"It's not that Maya, Geez" I say shaking my head"Shut up bitch, tell me y'all didn't fuck" I can already see her raising a brow and I just smile"See, y'all fucked, now I'm not gonna ask for details over the phone, you know me, I need HD explanation, so when you get back you're spilling" she ruses out and I chuckle."Plus, pretty boy didn't let me give him any of your clothes, how are you gonna get to work tomorrow"? She asks and I just sigh remembering my lit

Tristan's POVShe starts laughing, her whole body shaking with laughter as I try to hold her still in my arms, she wipes a fake tear that drops from her eyes before steadying herself."What do you mean you like me Tristan, I mean I get that you may like my personality as a person but you saying it out loud sounds so weird, please stop being so weird" she says standing straightMy expression doesn't waver, I'm still staring at her with a straight and serious face, she thinks I'm joking."Wait... You're being serious" she scoffs lightly her hands dropping from my chest"I like you Red, a lot. Infact more than I thought I ever would and trust me I'm not really a commitment kind of guy but I'm ready to make an exception" I explain and I see her raise her brows at me"Look Tristan, I don't know what you've had today or what you're high on" she says giving my office a sweep with her eyes before looking back at me "but I do know one thing, this thing we're doing, the sex and all, it's fun and

Tristan's POV"Let me take you out to dinner" I mutter against her neck and she pushes me slightly to look at me"What"? She asks raising her brows "Dinner, like a dinner date" I explain"I know what dinner is, I mean what? Why?" She asks and I just shrug"People take those they like out for dinner dates all the time, so I wanna do it too" I answer matter of fact"Why are you acting weird? Like we're a couple or something, please stop it" she says adjusting herself in front of me"What's weird about how I'm acting? I like you and I want to take you out for dinner, there's nothing weird about that and besides whats wrong in us being a couple"? I ask and she just starts shaking her head.Why does it bother her so much, is my reputation that bad? "Tris don't please, drop it, we're doing great don't ruin it" she whispers out looking at my chest and I just tilt her head up with my fingers making her look at me"Why, why don't you even wanna hear anything that has to do with me liking you

Tristan's POVI tried to stay back at the conference room but I couldn't, Rissa was driving me crazy, and not in the sexual way but in the whipped kind of way.Who would have thought that a few years back I had been calling Rhys and Ethan whipped guys and now I was acting more whipped than they ever did.Mine was worse than theirs because the person I'm seemingly whipped for doesn't even wanna be with me.I just want her to open up to me why she really doesn't want to be with me, it's not that hard to do.She just walked out of my office after I kissed her.I didn't even know when I opened up to her about part of why I don't do relationship, but for her I was ready to be vulnerable again.Her past has something to do with her denial, but what past does a 19 year old have that can make her shut out feeling off her life like that?Yes I was actually ready to beg her in front of everyone if it would actually make her mine, she has me that good on a short leash.I haven't stopped looking

Tristan's POV"So do you wanna tell me about this Rissa Ethan has been yapping about lately to everyone that cares to listen" Rhys asks as we both take a swig of our drinksI run my hands through my face "Trust Ethan not to keep his mouth shut, I know he's enjoying this more than he should" I mutter out remembering how he just blurted it out to Rhys yesterday while we were talking.I didn't know it was that obvious that I was occupied mentally until Rhys pointed it out yesterday.His eyes are trained on me from across the recliner chair beside the swimming pool"She's uh... She's an intern that works at the company as my PA" I pause and sigh out loud "She's smart, beautiful, sassy" I chuckle out the last part thinking about all the sass I've had to endure from Rissa"And she's ten years younger than you" Rhys adds making me look at him and he just cocks his head sideways and i just sigh out"Yes, she's ten years younger but trust me if you meet her, you'd never know" I rush out to him
