AUDREYThat idiot and womanizer, who does he think he is? He'll never have me, because Daniel is not the kind of man I want to be involved with.Yes, call me old-fashioned or whatever you want, it's possible that I'm not a virgin, but I don't just give myself to a man for experimentation or a one-night stand. I do it when that person means something to me and I mean something to him.I still haven't lost hope that someday that man will come and sweep me off my feet, that he'll mean something to me, more than just a one-night stand.Even though Nelly always tells me to experiment before getting into something serious with someone or before thinking about marriage, for me, the crucial thing is getting to know each other while sharing great moments and realizing we're meant for each other.Is it really that hard to find someone to experience something like that?I sigh as I take a sip from my Cookie Monster-shaped mug and enjoy my lukewarm coffee.I feel terrible, not because of what I d
DANIEL"Tell your little girlfriend she should be more accessible. I won't be joining you for dinner either today. What excuse will you come up with for your father now?"I was this close to canceling, using work as an excuse, but as always, my persistent mother, who never gets tired of being so, insisted that I hadn't visited them in days and that it could affect my relationship with my father now that we're somewhat closer. Even she doesn't believe that.I don't like the way my mother talks about Audrey. I've never been rude to her, and I don't want to lose respect for her now.She can't believe that Audrey is my girlfriend, no matter how many times I've told her it's not a scheme of mine or a ploy to gain the company. Eventually, I confirmed that she's my real girlfriend, not a fake relationship like she's assuming."And you could be a little more considerate with my girlfriend," I say through clenched teeth with each word.My mother can be really exasperating at times. I know her
AUDREY "Is this for real? Aren't you kidding with me? Nelly is still in disbelief over my confession. I'm sure she doesn't believe me because she knows I would never accept a crazy thing like that. "It's not a joke, I'm talking as seriously as when I told you about Tobby" reminding him of his cheating ex-boyfriend is already history, he has camouflage and I know perfectly well that it no longer affects him as it happened at first. He makes a gesture of disgust, probably for memorizing it. "I'm sorry" still, I apologize for bringing that up. "That doesn't matter anymore, he's already moved on to another life" he makes an unimportant gesture "But then if what you're telling me is true. "I nod, open my mouth with an O. "And I'll pay you something? A million dollars even. He threw the sofa cushion at her and she catches him in the air before he hits her face. "Of course not!" scream. "You know me and you know that I would never do something like that for money. "So, for sex?" he mov
AUDREYI stand with the door half open while I hold it and seeing the man in front of me, Daniel, what is he doing here? My feet are as if they were stuck on the ground and my hands are numb, I want to close the door in his face, but I can't react, my mind is blocked.- Daughter, why did you just stand there? - mom inquires approaching.What do I do? Did I close the door or did you introduce him? but what shall I say? We're not even fake boyfriends anymore.Damn, what a mess I've gotten myself into."He's not the delivery guy" that's all I can say, I block his way so I couldn't see Daniel."Who is he?" she insists on wanting to find out and succeeds when I notice that Daniel's eyes are taken away from me to put them on her.I forgot that he is taller than me, and of course his head sticks out from mine. Silly."He is... "I was asked without knowing what to answer.- Daniel Crawford, her daughter's boyfriend - introduces himself the instant he extends his hand.Mom's eyes are getting s
AUDREY"And the end of the story. "I conclude with a decisive tone."Is that all?" reply Mom."Yes -I nod" that's how we met."So simply like that?" keep questioning.I know he loves love-filled melodramas; however, I don't think he wants to know the real part of how I met himThe first time I saw him it was the most disturbing thing I had ever seen, and it's not that having oral sex is something aberrant, but the fact that he was in his father's office and with an employee he had just met, and to end it with the door open, where anyone could discover them doing their things and unfortunately that unfortunate one had to be me."That was our destiny, to meet in the company. Daniel is…"I'm her boss - he takes the word out of my mouth. "I became her boss shortly after I met her, when I found out Audrey was going to become my secretary, I had already set my eyes on her, it was love at first sight.My parents remain completely mute and with amazed expressions, even Nelly and I.Are you se
AUDREY"What are you doing! "I raise my voice, pushing him away with both hands"Kissing my girlfriend.We had already returned to my apartment, Daniel's car is parked at the entrance of the building."I haven't said yes yet," I reply."But you're still my fake girlfriend."No need to kiss me if we are alone, no one can see us inside your car.He shrugs his shoulders and settles back in his seat as if nothing had happened."That's all that matters, I just wanted to kiss you and that's it" she adds with disdain.I open my mouth to respond, but I immediately close it as soon as my brain starts working. No, I'd better not say anything, I don't want to end up arguing with him and get angry again, because the one who always loses is me."Well. "I say" good evening — I say goodbye and get out of his luxurious Mercedes and then enter the building where I live."Don't be silly and take advantage.Nelly and I are reclining on the chairs that are located on the small balcony of my apartment. Th
DANIELOur conversation is interrupted at the part where I tell Fabian that Audrey has asked me for time. At that same moment the door of his office opens showing us both a blonde woman, who I instantly managed to recognize."Sorry. "Katty apologizes the moment she looks up and notices our existence in the room. "I know I should have touched, but... "I cut her off."Why in this building no one knocks on the door before entering an office" irritated murmur.His eyes he puts them a few seconds on me the moment he replied, of course he hears me and I am not fazed by it. Then he turns his gaze away to see Fabian."His father ordered me to bring the documents of the new contract directly to him and that if I was not in his office they should be left on the desk, that's why he stopped calling me earlier" she explains quickly and nervously, suddenly throwing glances at me.I stare at her disapprovingly for a few seconds and turn around. Since she became a stalker, she irritated me easily jus
AUDREYI leave the building in a hurry, with the risk that I will meet Jon on the way. I've been running away from him since he showed up at my workplace on Tuesday.I'm tired of being hiding almost all week, maybe he's already forgotten about it and I'm still paranoid about something pointless.He didn't notice me at the moment that a car pulls up next to me, it's Daniel's Mercedes. The glass comes down slowly and reveals his face.He wears dark sunglasses. He takes them off and looks at me in detail. I move restlessly. Yes, he has that effect on me whenever he sets his eyes on me."Up-demand, he doesn't even ask me.That's very polite of you. I still take the offer, since I hate taking the subway, I go around the car to get on the other side."How gentlemanly you are, Mr. Crawford" I say sarcastically.I don't care if he gets angry, I can already feel him getting upset and I have no idea why."He doesn't know how much" he answers with irony and starts his car."Where are you taking
Six months later. It's been a few months since Daniel and I reconciled. We had sex several times that same night, of course not at my parents' house anymore. I'm taking her back home that same night. He asked me to live with him in his apartment, I told him that it was too early to take that step as well as to get married. I did not reject his marriage proposal, but I asked him for some time to get to know us more, and it's not that I have doubts about him, it's just that I don't want to skip the part of courtship and stop enjoying moments that we can experience while we are engaged. Like this moment right now, he's taking me to his parents' house for dinner. The truth is I've gotten used to it, I've started to tolerate his mother, she's not as nosy as before, because there's no complaint about his father, I've always liked that man. The moment he parks his car in the driveway of the big house, I make sure that there are several cars in the same place. "You didn't inform me that it
AUDREYHe dips his tongue inside my mouth, pushing and looking for mine. He is so passionate, I had wanted so much for him to kiss and touch me again like he is doing now. Every second that passes while he has me like this, stuck to him, my knees get weaker, my breathing gets short, while my body demands for more.We parted, panting, and let our foreheads rest against each other."Daniel, not here, my parents could arrive at any time. "I say with difficulty."I remember that your mother said that it would be late to come back" a mischievous smile lights up on her face.I sigh, longing, while also smiling."Seriously, they may come at some point. "I take control. I turn away from him a little, but longing for him more."I've been daydreaming, wishing to have you, as well as now and then make love to you" my eyebrows rise, but she smiled a little. "I fantasized a million times, leaning over my office desk or on the kitchen table of my house to fuck you hard; I've imagined you on top of
AUDREYMy mom and I are cooking dinner while a Whitney Houston song is playing on my music player. My mother is a fan of her music, I really like it too, because since I was a child I have been used to listening to it because of the woman who gave me life.I accept that I have been trying to focus on everything that my parents have offered me since I came home, but my mind always ends up somewhere else, far away from here, and that has had me very overwhelmed.Mom offered me to go out with her several times, she even called some old friends of mine from school to accompany me in case I didn't feel comfortable going out with my mother to a place that young people frequent, that's how she said. But the truth is, that was not the reason why I refused his invitation, but because I don't have the courage to even stick my head out.What a fun holiday, sarcasm is never lacking.If Nelly were with me right now, she would definitely be in some bar or some place she usually goes to every Friday
DANIEL"What does this mean? "I reply annoyed, but not with him, but with me for not having known earlier.But if she didn't tell me how would I know?I move my hand quickly over the mouse, opening files and going down and up to examine them again and again. I don't know how many times I've checked them already. I know what it means, but what I'm still not fully informed about is how this got into the hands of that asshole.I'm trying to steal Audrey's ideas. These files prove it. They all have her signature, they are designs and advertising ideas, with her watermark, but they are not noticeable, what if it is, is the way she details everything in each idea or information of each project. It is clear that these works are hers, she would recognize them from miles away."Jonathan Sand, he went to plant in my office, showing me his new plan of ideas for the advertising department" he makes in quotes with his fingers. It's clear that Fabian also noticed this guy's deception." I don't know
DANIELIt's been almost a month since she left and even though I've counted every day since that time, I didn't do anything to stop her, I just let her go and that's it. I received his resignation a few days after he left, I found out from Margarita when I returned from my trip, he had gone out to resolve the matter regarding the person who is behind the scandal. We haven't achieved anything yet, but Ben, and other lawyers, say that they will soon get to the root of everything.I hope so. I'm exhausted and without energy, I haven't even been able to sleep well since before our secret came out. Because my problem didn't start there, but when I saw those damn photos where she let that guy into her apartment, and the image of her in my mind when they were kissing in the nightclub where I found her that night."I've known you almost since we were kids, Daniel. You can't fool me. "finally articulates Henry, who had come to see me about the investigation and decided to spend a moment more t
AUDREY"What? "Exclaims Nelly extremely surprised. "Why are you going to do that? have you gone crazy in case?I am looking for the most appropriate words to explain to him, before he insults me and believes things that are not."Don't worry, it's part of the plan to unmask him and his girlfriend that."Plan? what are you talking about?" She cocks her head, looking confused.He definitely won't understand me if I don't give him the details. I sigh before I let everything out to her. She's my friend and I won't hide from her what I'm about to do before I leave."Tomorrow I will go to the company to get some things that I forgot, then I will go down to the advertising floor and look for the director of that department. "Nel looks at me with a raised eyebrow in questioning mode, still not fully understanding, I continue." I will give him what he wants, but without really giving him what he is.Well, the part about me going for something is a lie, but she doesn't have to know that, it doe
AUDREYThe sound of the doorbell ringing at my apartment takes me away from what I was doing to go and open. I don't know who's on the other side, I just open up thinking maybe it's Nelly, forgetting something.I open the door and I get an unpleasant surprise when I see this person standing in front of me. What the hell is he doing here?I'm about to close the door in her face, but she avoids it quickly and pushes her."Get the hell out of my house!" I yell at him."I'm not leaving here until I release what I've got in store," says the oxygenated witch "Jon's finally made up his mind, and he's let me tell you everything at once." We already got what we wanted, there's no reason to keep silent anymore" he shrugs his shoulders with an unimportant gesture.What, Jon what?I leave her, I don't do anything to close the door in her face again, I need to know at once what they want.I never imagined that Jonathan was entangled in some kind of mess with this witch. I knew what they had, but I
AUDREYI head down to the ground floor and make my way to the exit to leave the building. My steps echo against the shiny beige tile. Nelly catches up to me before I reach the double glass doors."Audrey," she follows my pace."Not now, Nelly," I respond without stopping.When I exit, I catch sight of Mr. Anthony's car parked at the entrance. I approach it when I also see him. He's not alone; a man accompanies him. Nonetheless, I close the distance to get to where he is."Sir," I call him, and he turns as soon as I mention him. "May I speak with you?" He glances at the man accompanying him. "It will only take a minute; I won't take up much of your time," I add with a brief smile. He signals with his hand for us to move away from his guest and other people.I know that man; well, I've seen him a few times coming to the company, although I have no direct contact with the partners, I know he's one of them, a very important one, and a friend of Mr. Anthony."What's going on, Audrey?" He a
AUDREYWe are alone now. What do I do, what do I say? Should I start talking and clarify things about Jon? I'm tired of that topic, but there are still many things to sort out.I sigh and gather my courage before speaking, but he beats me to it."Leave," he orders disdainfully. I furrow my eyebrows and shoot him a fierce look. He notices that I don't move and finally locks his eyes on me. "Didn't you hear?"He's behaving rudely and curt. I'm not here to endure any more dismissals and rudeness. I've had enough of the witches. Suddenly, I stand up, not taking my eyes off him."I thought we could reason with you, but I've just realized you're still the same jerk," I say, furious but not losing my composure too much.I turn sharply and start walking towards the door."It's all over, Miss Turner," I stop when I hear him, not turning, just standing there. "There's nothing left to fix, as my father indicated," he emphasizes the words. "There's nothing more to say. Now all that's left is to c
