Falling for the CEO Lunch
I looked up after hearing the knock on my door. Frowning to myself when I realized that these darn offices didn’t have windows. I checked the time, 11:30 am. Everyone should be at their celebratory lunch at this moment. I stood up and went towards the door unsure of what I would find. There he stood leaning on the door frame. “I grabbed a truce lunch,” he said without a grin for once. I looked down in his arms were two bags from Sal’s deli down the street. The smells from the deli started flowing into my nose and I had to admit I was starving from missing breakfast, dry heaving in the trash basket, and just overall wanting to self-soothe after the morning’s takeover. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do at this moment but I knew I really wanted that sandwich and it seemed I was stuck to dealing with this horrible situation anyways so what was the point of turning it down? “Which one is I mine?” He grinned then as he had just caught me. Ugh! “This one,

The rest of the day was a blur and I just put a game face on that at this point in my life I was so used to having a “game” face compared to how you felt. It was easy to do considering all the many awkward conversations I’d had to have in the past with coworkers, dates, and the hellish family day Mr. Johnson always put on twice a year. Having to explain to so many people so many times that it was just me and nobody else got easier and I was able to numb myself to a lot of things. My counselor always said it wasn’t healthy but it felt a hell of a lot healthier than crying all day long because if I looked at it, I was alone and had been this way for a very long time. Nowadays it was easy to turn me on robotic and I learned a long time ago thanks to college speeches, work presentations, and the occasional work conversations I was able to do it without even thinking. That is why I’d always practiced every presentation so much that I could say and do it with no thought invol

Pulling up in my black Cadillac SUV, I was already feeling uncomfortable as this neighborhood was very near the poorest part of the city. Not that I was judging the people who lived here, it was more bothersome to me that Kate lived here. I realized I had gotten to her small apartment complex right next to a small convenience store. I will say although in a bad part of the neighborhood this apartment complex seemed better than most with a well-maintained brick outside a cement porch with cement railing you could sit on that was currently occupied by an elder darker man and a younger man of the same color who appeared to have just completed work at some factory as he was in his blue uniform still and was covered in dirt and oil. I glanced over to the right and in between the convenience store and the apartment building appeared to be a gated community garden which did at least present itself as one of the better buildings I’d driven by. I dressed casually in some denim jeans and a black
Last Updated : 2021-07-21Falling for the CEO The visit - Kate's POV
I couldn’t stop laughing and bent down to great Rosco my happy little dog. I looked up at Blake and he looked at me in horror. “What the hell Kate? You leave your window open and your dog just pops in?” I could sense my laugh filling my belly and to be honest I needed it after the last few days. “The window leads to the fire escape and the fire escape leads to the apartment’s community garden.” I stood up and walked over motioning for him to look at the window himself. Rosco just circulated his tail waiting for Blake to pay attention. He walked over and I didn’t realize how close I’d allowed him to get to me. I could smell his cologne again and my loins groaned to be nearer him. Keep it together Kate, I told myself. He turned around and looked at me and appeared appalled. “Do you know how unsafe this is? Kate this is not okay. I don’t like it.” Here we go again as I crossed my arms to show him I wasn’t budging. “It’s not your choice and i
Last Updated : 2021-07-22Falling for the CEO Moving Day
The office was dark when I walked in and so very quiet. I had prepared for moving so I just wore some flat-soled boots, black slacks, and a satin grey blouse just in case the day took me somewhere different. Sure enough, as I walked around it looked as if my office was the only one that had anything left in it. I guess everyone was ready for the change. I walked into my office looked around noticing 2 very large boxes already inside and thought I could probably get everything into them. The problem was that mini-fridge of mine, how do I get that moved? It took both Mike and Chris to help me get it here and I thought about doing the same maybe I just don’t have my fridge at work anymore. As I stood there pondering I heard the elevator coming up, and walked over to the entrance to see who was coming as I had thought it might just be Blake coming to rescue me as he suggested yesterday. My heart started pounding with every step thinking about last night again and how badly I wanted to feel
Last Updated : 2021-07-23Falling for the CEO New Office
The very polite receptionist walked me over to the elevators and gave explicit instructions to go the floor 68 and I would be greeted and directed from there. I debated ever so slightly as to go to floor 67 and see my coworkers and try to find a spot for myself there. I decided against it as this technology was a new job for me and I should show I can follow simple instructions. The elevator itself was fascinating as I started going up as it was also one way that allowed you to look into every floor as you went up. The best was the daycare and seeing all the different rooms with babies as I twirled around in the elevator. Next, a gym, with exercise groups even, was that a Lamaze class? Once I hit the offices all were put together quite professionally and from everyone, I saw there were smiles all around. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised with all the services that are offered just in this one building. I imagined for workers with families this would be ideal and I couldn’t help but be i
Last Updated : 2021-07-24Falling for the CEO Arrival of the CEO
I found myself with Monique’s help making some large plans and sending more e-mails than expected to the team requesting ideas and thoughts as we worked through the many companies. I was drawn to the charities and was hoping I could meet the directors of those soon to help draw some attention to all the companies within Sutton Enterprises as well as the enterprise itself. It was exciting and held so many new projects. I also was slowly making a large list of things we were going to need to do to make this all work including computer programs for creating, new employees, and meetings with all the companies to get their expectations and needs narrowed down. It was going to be a lot of work. I was still so excited and wanted to share my excitement. I realized I wanted to share my excitement with Blake. From afar I could hear a large gathering of what appeared to be many individuals walking as if there was a march with everyone talking. I looked up waiting to see and in the
Last Updated : 2021-07-24Falling for the CEO The morning
That morning I sent Monique a quick text letting her know I would be off that day to which she indicated she’d already known. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as it seemed Blake had a handle on most things. Rosco and I started our day like normal greeting Mrs. Flora and I mentally tried to prepare myself for a day of pampering. It was not something I often did because when my parents were alive they were both busy with work life and although there was an occasional day my mom would enjoy with me, it wasn’t often. I did like to be girly and enjoy nice things but my parents always indicated many of those things were frivolous and not always something that needed to be done. I took girly things as a thing I would only enjoy occasionally as they had both truly pushed me to be head of the game when it came to school rather than anything else. I had stuck to that trend and now was more focused on work than anything else if I wanted to be on top of the game I needed to stay focused.

Falling for the CEO Wrap up
Blake and I hugged and kissed for quite some time engulfed in what kind of commitment we just made to each other. To be honest I couldn’t be more ecstatic when Blake grabbed my hand and said we needed to go see everyone for our dinner plans. I knew he had thought of everything as he walked me through our spacious outside area and onto one of our terracotta patios streamed with lights above and now placed was a large table with all of our friends and family including Blake’s parents and also Laura! I thought she had been extended a week and I ran over to her instantly giving her a giant hug as everyone stood up and clapped and yelled congratulations. “I thought you were in the hospital for another week.” “Eh, I couldn’t help but surprise you!” She laughed and we hugged again. “Kate I’m so happy for you and thank you for showing me what happiness really could be. I have one more surprise for you.” “What is that? Are you alright?” I cou
Falling for the CEO The proposition
The rest of the week flew by with Mrs. Flora and Tiffany mainly taking up my time. It was amazing how fast Tiffany was working and our Master Bedroom was practically complete with maybe a few touches here and there. When I complimented her on how fast she was working she only shrugged and said this is what is expected if you work with Blake Sutton. I had to agree with that as Blake moved quickly. He spent much of his time now in our Master Bedroom in the afternoon with me doing what work he allowed me to do lying in bed on my laptop. We spent our evenings many times with Mrs. Flora and Russ having dinner and it stopped feeling like Russ ever worked for Blake just more friends. Laura’s hospital stay was extended another week as her wrist fracture developed an infection but she was more upbeat than I’d heard in a while. The biggest news on that front was that Jason had stopped over in the middle of the week looked at the other apartment and said he was moving in. Bla
Falling for the CEO Making Plans for the Future
I woke up the next morning at the same time I normally do for work 5:00 AM and started out taking a quick shower alongside Blake which was very businesslike in Blake’s mind as he informed me we had to wait until later for any good time action. Then I focused on work for several hours before Blake gave me at least a passionate kiss before leaving. On-time of his leave I started doing some research so I’d be ready for the designer to come around 9:00 AM for a light breakfast while we discuss some color schemes and plans. Time snuck up on me quickly and before I know it Alice was asking me to come down to the dining table where the designer was. I wore comfy clothes again, simple leggings and a nice sweater that allowed my sports bra to stick out but were oh so snuggly which is something I needed at the moment. I walked in and felt completely underdressed as the designer was dressed to the nines with calf size Black healed boots and a beautiful brown suit. I realized I
Falling for the CEO Making Plans
The new housekeeper Anna was amazing and the food was delicious. I had to give it to Russ and Blake they knew how to pick people to do their bidding. I spent the night talking to Blake and walking through our new home trying to decide certain things we wanted to have to happen such as an office space in our bedroom that could be utilized for two if needed. The face was that work was important to us, especially now and we wanted to still be able to be close to the other, plus at this point, we were both getting pretty used to working side by side at home. I worried about my apartment mates and especially Laura but I was able to send her a few messages and found out she wouldn’t be getting out for a few more days. Now that we were able to talk I learned that she had suffered several broken ribs, a broken wrist, and ankle, and way too many scars emotionally and physically. Still, the way Laura talked about Jason I was hopeful she might just accept an offer to live in our
Falling for the CEO The Christening
I wake up and realize Blake is snuggling against me and look down to see Rosco must have gone for his adventure outside. I love the idea of him being outside whenever he wants now and there are no more worries for anyone. I can’t help but embrace this luxury of the many luxuries that have been coming right along with us. Feeling Blake against me I take in his warmth and muscular arms and I start realizing that everything is going to be okay if I want it to be. I take a minute and push back all my fears and worries from the last week and turn myself to Blake. He is lightly nappy so I know I could wake him up if I wanted. I feel his chiseled jaw and outline it with my hands and then go down his black muscle shirt pulling it up and allowing my hands to go over his beautiful six-pack. I can’t help but think to myself this man is secretly a model or something and know this is why all those magazines call him one of the most eligible bachelors. I realize I should take mor
Falling for the CEO Coming Home
We pulled up to 1500 Lakeshore Drive and I was in shock at how large the building was. I hadn’t even realized that the penthouse was on the 21st Floor and although it didn’t seem as high as some buildings it was pretty large because most of the apartments had vaulted ceilings. We walked up to the door and were greeted instantly by a very well-dressed doorman. He was very polite and asked to guide us to our new home. Second, later the building manager was there greeting us and extending his invitation to come with us as well. We were also already extended a co-op invitation by the board members who make the decisions on who officially gets to live in said building. It was a bit much but I had to admit it seemed like everyone wanted to cater to us rather than upset us and I knew they were all pleased that Blake Sutton of Sutton Enterprises was living in their building. I felt a bit underdressed for the door greeting as I’d just gotten out of the hospital and was weari
Falling for the CEO The Hunt
“We are looking for the impossible!” I shoved the computer further down my lap in frustration as I sat on my hospital bed. Blake and I had been looking at homes online for the last day. I was almost excited at the process but there were some not-so-easy requirements that we both agreed needed to be met. Blake didn’t want to live in the suburbs he wanted to be in the city but that also made it difficult to find some yard space for Rosco. Both of us agreed on the idea that Rosco needed a yard and I was grateful that Blake could get on board with that plus there were a lot of other things we were looking for or should I say Blake was looking for. Suddenly the guy who lived in a storage room bedroom as I called it now wanted space for at least 4 vehicles and he had to have a living space for Russ plus if he wanted to have other security available or personnel he wanted them to have options. I had no idea how that was possible but he kept looking at these insanely priced homes that were
Falling for the CEO Recovery
It has been two days since and I was recovering nicely. I was being pumped full of antibiotics to ensure my body did not get an infection from the bullet. I also was doing physical therapy and was able to do most everything easily at this point despite the pain. I was determined to not allow Curtis Montgomery to have any more of me and with any luck, I’d be out by Sunday is what the doctors told me. Blake had been amazing and so supportive. He brought me everything I could use for work and even though the doctors wanted me to rest I still took plenty of opportunities to respond to e-mails, approve projects and set up meetings for next week. I know the doctors frowned on it but even Blake tried to tell them that it would stress me out more if I was too behind at work. I was grateful for how great he was even though part of me felt guilty for how much time I was taking away from his work. He wouldn’t even listen to me though about being alone and he refused to leave from more than t
Falling for the CEO The Awakening
My eyes burned and it was difficult to open them. I tried to slowly feel around to figure out where I was and what was happening. As soon as I started to open my eyes I felt my hand being grabbed. “Kate, Kate are you waking up? Nurse, she is waking up!” “Blake?” My eyes burned but I finally was able to open them up. I started thinking I might have been in a car wreck or something but my memories started floating in quickly almost too quickly and my eyes started crying. “It's me, Kate. Kate my sweet don’t cry.” I heard other voices walk in and one asked for Blake to walk away. “Please don’t leave me, Blake.” “I won’t Kate I will just be right of here why they check you out.” I started to focus my eyes and saw what looked like a physician and two nurses checking my vitals. “Hello, Kate I’m Dr. Buchannan. You gave us quite a scare there! You didn’t want to wake up from surgery.” “Surge
