Maybelline.

Next day. 6:45am

“Are you fine?!” I heard Grayson’s voice as I walked down the staircase, I smiled tightly at him, I might have been a little bit dramatic last night. I nodded awkwardly as my grip on my bag tightened.

“I’m okay, thank you” I murmured, he walked up to me and stretched out a cup of coffee to me. I took it from him and murmured a thank you, still feeling a little bit shy from how I was with him yesterday. I raised the cup to my lips and downed its whole content in one go, I stepped forward and dropped the cup on the table with a soft thud.

“I should get to work now,” I said and rushed to the door without waiting for his reply. I stepped out of the house and the cold morning breeze hit my face, I slowly took it in and exhaled deeply. A small smile spread across my face.

“You are a fun girl, May. Nobody should take that from you! You deserve nothing short of happiness. You shouldn’t get to live the rest of your life sad,” I muttered to myself, patting my sho

    Maybelline. Back at the office. Betsy pushed the door to the office and we both walked in laughing at something she said earlier.“People are working here, lower your voice or laugh outside!” Loretta Suddenly said, our laughter paused almost immediately, we turned to face each other and we bursted out laughing again. Not like it was on purpose though, we couldn’t just help it.She grumbled lowly, contemptuously rolling her eyes at us. I have always noticed an attitude from her. It has been one month, at first I thought she was probably having a rough day but as time went on I realized it wasn’t a rough day at all.“Always wanting to talk over people like you’re better than us, nobody should piss me off in this office,” Betsy hissed loud enough for her to hear, as she pulled her seat backwards and dropped on it, I stretched out to her and tapped her laps, “What?!” She muttered turning to me, I gently shook my head at her,“It’s not worth it,” I whispered. She huffed and hissed angri

    Maybelline. “Let me,” Grayson said as he pushed his chair backwards and packed up the plates for me. “You don’t have to,” I whispered, finding it awkward that Grayson was packing up our used plate for me. Aside from the fact that he was my boss, where I come from men don’t do these kinds of things. I actually just found it weird.“I want to,” he replied as he stacked up all the plates, I carried the cup also and we headed to the kitchen. “I’m doing the dishes, there’s no need to argue with me,” I said immediately we entered the kitchen, I watched as his lips stretched into a small smile and he placed the plates in the sink.He stepped backwards a little bit as he rested on the kitchen counter and folded his hands across his chest, crossing his legs in front of him.“This is so weird,” I finally said as I began washing.“Staying up alone can be very tiring,” he said and I nodded slowly at his words.“Well since you’re staying with me, I might as well tell you, the photocopier in our

    Maybelline. 11:00pm. “If we hadn’t gotten the account, Nash and Ko would really have suffered the loss. It’s our top account,” Grayson said to me. We had dinner already hours ago and some how we ended up sitting in the balcony together. We sat side by side, with one duvet over both our legs. We had a tray with wine on a small table in front of us.“But I’m still curious though, Gym equipment parts and a broadcasting company, that’s a weird combination,” I said, he gently raised his cup to his lips and took a sip of his wine.“In simple words, Nash Tech is my father’s Company. While Nash and Ko is my company,”“We have different interests, I was adamant about mine, I wasn’t going to give up. But apparently, I also had to take over my father’s business after his death,” “Ohh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that” I apologized immediately, he flashed me a small smile and shook his head at me. “Ohh, you don’t have to be. It’s been a few years now,” “What about your mom?” I asked.“Let’

    7:45pm “I’m sorry,”“I lost track of time at Betsy’s” I said to Grayson as soon as I walked into the house. He was seated on the three-seater, with his laptop, obviously engrossed with work. Immediately I spoke, he looked up at me and shook his head. “No need to apologize,”“It’s not like you’re doing anything for me at home,” he said, I took my lips into my mouth and nodded firmly. Another “Grayson is not Fred” Moment. Fred used to request for tangible reasons why I would come back home later than six in the evening. If my reason wasn’t valid enough based on their parameters, I would get a backlash of hurtful words from his mother and sisters. Tough times man.“I ordered food, your share is in the microwave,” he added, and I nodded slowly, he’s so gentlemanly. Every blog portraying him as cold definitely has no idea who he really is. “Thank you, thank you for earlier too,” I said, he passed me a tight lipped smile and turned back to his laptop.“Oh, this came in for you earlier,”

    Maybelline.Next day. My eyes narrowed in confusion at the aroma drifting from the kitchen. Did Elena come back and decide to surprise me?! The chance of that happening was unlikely, so who then was in the kitchen. Only Grayson and I lived in this house and from what I could gather, he is a terrible cook.I gently walked up to the kitchen and peeped inside, it really was Grayson, he was standing in front of the cooker, his phone was on a table top tripod at a safe distance from him, he glanced at it occasionally before turning back to what he was cooking. He seemed to be watching an online tutorial on how to cook. “What are you doing,” I finally asked with a small chuckle as I walked into the kitchen. He turned towards me immediately and flashed me a small awkward smile. He reached out to his phone, clicked pause and turned off the cooker. He wiped his hands dry and turned to me,“How are you this morning?!” He asked, I nodded slowly staring at him speechlessly.“I just knew you we

    Maybelline. The tension in Mr. Nash’s office was so thick, you could practically cut through it. My heart was unintentionally thumping loudly, the last thing I wanted was to get into office drama and get Grayson involved like this. But this girl! She just had to do this on an early Friday Morning. I have a lot of work on my plate, now it’s quite obvious that I’ll have to work late trying to sort them out. I’m beginning to see why Betsy Loathes her so much! Betsy and I stood side by side in front of his desk, trying to ignore Loretta’s smug grin as she leaned casually against the wall, but then, she let out an exaggerated sigh.“Mr. Nash,” Loretta began, her voice dripping with self-righteous indignation, “I’m not sure why I’m even here. I was just minding my own business when Maybelline barreled into me. She dropped her things, and then they both turned on me like some sort of pack.” Betsy’s face flushed, and she took a step forward. “Mr. Nash, that’s not true. Loretta shoved May

    Maybelline.“God bless whatever it is that made Mr Nash change his mind,” Betsy exhaled deeply as she dropped to her seat. She picked up a bottle of water from her table and chunged down all its content.“Girl, this job is what befits me. That Janitorial Department is hell!” She said as she replaced the bottle cap and dropped it in the waste paper basket by her side. I chuckled lightly at her words as I opened my laptop.“By the way,” she said her voice dropping to a whisper as she leaned in closer to you, “Have you noticed,” “Loretta has been staring at you weirdly since we walked in, did you guys argue again?!” She asked, I shrugged as I glanced at her briefly and back and Betsy.“When she’s tired, she’ll continue her work” I replied.“Ouuu by the way, I saw your pictures on the company’s page. You're an absolutely stunning girl!” She said and I chuckled lightly.“I know right!”“It’s probably why she can’t take her eyes off you,” she added loud enough for Loretta to hear. She obv

    6:30pm Grayson. “Packing Twenty thousand units in one week?!” “That’s too much Cole, why did you agree to it!” I gasped flustered as I spoke to Cole via video call. Just as he was about to reply, the phone beeped signaling that someone else joined the call. Katrina. Just then Becky also walked into the frame and took her seat beside Cole. “What’s with the Tux, is this supposed to be a business meeting?” Katrina muttered as soon as she joined the call.“You can’t blame me, I had to make a decision at that point,” Cole said, ignoring Katrina’s comment.“What decision? What’s up?” Katrina asked again, I could see her adjust on her couch with her legs folded beneath her carrying a bowl of cereal. “Cole agreed to deliver twenty thousand gym equipment spares in one week,” I said to Katrina and Becky.“What?!”“Babe! Why would you do that?!”“It’s not like I wanted to put us on a spot on purpose, but Fred also offered to deliver twenty thousand units in that same time frame if he’s rec

    Maybelline I felt the lightest, feathery kiss on my forehead, and a slow warmth spread through me as I stirred awake. My eyes fluttered open to find myself wrapped in Grayson’s arms, his embrace tender and protective, and I couldn’t help but smile at the comfort of being held by him all night. I only came in to kiss him goodnight yesterday’s night, after that he insisted that he wanted me to sleep by his side. I wanted it too, so he didn’t have to persuade me for too long. Here we are."Good morning, my sunshine," he murmured, his voice deep and husky from sleep. His eyes sparkled as he looked down at me, and I reached up, my fingers tracing slow, loving patterns along his jaw, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath my touch."I could get used to waking up like this," I whispered, and he chuckled softly, his hand moving to cradle the back of my head as he threaded his fingers through my hair with care.“Then move in with me,” he said, his voice a quiet, earnest plea that sent butter

    Grayson. “Since when?!”“Why didn’t you tell us!” Becky exclaimed immediately. I told her that Maybelline and I are dating already. We were on video call, my phone was on a table top tripod with my laptop beside it.“Well, I was going to. But there was never a perfect time,” I said to her, her lips stretched into a smile. “Finally. I’m happy for you ” she giggled and I nodded slowly. “I’m happy too,” suddenly the screen splitted into two and Katrina’s Video appeared. “What are the both of you discussing,” Katrina said as she raised a piece of pancake and bit into it. “We’re discussing how to sell you off. Since you no longer know how to keep quiet,” I replied immediately, the corner of her lips raised in a small sneer as she bit into her pancake again and chewed slowly. “Guys, I have exciting news for you!”“What is it?! You met someone new?!” I replied not matching her energy, I definitely knew that was what she was on to, her eyes slowly rolled to me and she glared at me.“I

    Maybelline. After Work. “When you said something nice, I didn’t think that it’d be this — Nice” Grayson said after he pulled out my chair and rounded the table to sit. He carefully sat like the chair would break under his full weight. I chuckled lightly at this.“I know this is not what you’re used to, but their food is good and not expensive” I said to him and he nodded slowly in reply. “If you say so,” he replied, shortly after, the owner of the shop walked up to us. Her eyes lit up immediately when she saw me.“Belline,” she called, my lips stretched into a wide smile as I got up to my feet and pulled her into a small hug.“It’s been ages. I hope you’re good!” She said as we disengaged and I nodded in reply, my lips still stretched into a wide smile. She slowly turned to look at Grayson and then backed up at me.“You came with someone today, who is he?!” She asked.“He’s the Pre …” My gaze slowly flickered to Grayson, he sighed slowly and gently looked away from me.“He’s my boy

    Maybelline.Next day. Wednesday 8:00am“Good Morning Cupcake,” I heard Grayson say behind me. I turned to see him place his bag on the mini dinning table in the kitchen and walked up to me. I flashed a smile at him and he stepped forward and placed a long lingering kiss on my lips. “Did you sleep well?!,” he asked and I nodded slowly, my smile not leaving my face. I turned back to the coffee machine, grabbed a cup and handed it over to him. “Here,” I whispered, he took it from my hands, leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.“Thank you sweetness,” he said. I blushed at his words as I lifted the cup of coffee up to my lips and took a sip. I was somebody’s girlfriend now and I had no idea how to behave. Fred didn’t really date me, we were just really close friends and then he asked me to marry him. He married me at twenty one and practically ruined my life, like I was some old hag. Well I’m thankful for how my life turned out, if I hadn’t married him, maybe I wouldn’t have m

    Maybelline.Later in the evening.“I hope you enjoyed your date with your personal assistant,” I snorted as Grayson walked into the living room. He paused in his tracks and slowly turned to me. I crossed my legs and folded my hands across my chest leaning into the chair. “What are you talking about?!” He asked as he slowly turned to face me. I didn’t respond, I simply got up to my feet, picked up my laptop and headed upstairs. He reached forward immediately and grabbed my hands, he pulled me back and made me face him. “If someone should be angry between you and me May, it should be me,” he whispered, I begrudgingly folded my hands across my chest, my face held in a tight scowl.“Well, I’m not the one going on dates with my assistant!”“Date?! Katrina?! Where did you get that from?!” “Almost everyone at work knows you and Katrina do not just have a work relationship,”“And I saw the both of you getting into your car hand in hand,” “Coming right after you said you have feelings for

    Maybelline.Meanwhile,I turned off the faucet as soon as I was done washing my hands. I placed my hands under the hand dryer to dry. Just as I was about to leave the door open, I looked up at it to see Loretta walk into the bathroom. Her looks smug as ever, she took slow confident steps into the bathroom. “I should have known. The company chose you so early on the job to be his Anchor. That was suspicious,”“I’m not surprised though. Girls like you seduce their way into fame,” she said, I placed my thumb and my other fingers on my forehead and rubbed it slowly with an exhausted sigh. The last thing I wanted right now is to argue with Loretta.“Look, Loretta if you have nothing to do. I have a lot going on right now. I can’t deal with your tantrums,” I said to her calmly. I could tell that she was very triggered that she has never gotten a reaction out of me, even with all of her nasty behavior. And I honestly wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of me going crazy over her child

    Grayson.Later that day.“So you got rejected, that's it?!” Katrina asked, I raised a brow at her as I finally let go of my laptop and looked up at her. “What do you mean got rejected?!”“I gave her time to think about it,”“Sounds like pretty much the same thing to me,” she insisted.“Well that’s the only explanation for this though. Have you seen Instagram?! It’s buzzing with both of them. I think they’re cute though, if you ask me,” she said. My gaze on her hardened at her words and she slowly raised her hands with a small shrug.“What?!”“I’m just saying,” she muttered. I rolled my eyes and leaned into my chair.“I don’t need you to say. Your say is not helping matters!” I added, she nodded slowly as she raised her hands to her lips, she crossed her finger over it, like she was dragging an imaginary zip over her lips.“Better,” I muttered under my breath. I abruptly got up from my seat and walked up to the sofa, I took my seat on it and leaned closer to her, “I told her that I w

    Maybelline. I rushed out of my room immediately, I didn’t care that I was in my bathrobe and I didn’t care to knock either. I just pushed the door to his room open and rushed in.“Grayson, I swear this is not what it seems like?!” I breathed out, my chest rising and falling heavily in my chest. He was seated by his study table, his back facing me. He slowly swirled his chair around to face me, he had a reluctant look on his face and he raised his shoulders in a small shrug. “You don’t have to explain anything to me,” he simply said, he turned his chair back to face his table, he exhaled deeply and slowly got up to his feet. “Look, Grayson I promise you, there’s nothing going on between Tyler and I” “Yeah? And you never mentioned him to me ever.” My brows narrowed and I took a step backwards.“I didn’t think it was necessary. I had no idea online folks would escalate it like this. We’re just friends,”“Just friends? Since when?”“Since after you became his interviewer?! Have you se

    Maybelline. Later. “Why didn’t you tell anybody about it dear,” I whispered to Harriet, she was sitting on her bed, and I sat by her bed patting her hands gently. I drove Harriet home in my own car, Tyler insisted on going to the hospital to get drugs for her. Even after she said she didn’t need it. I didn’t push further, I knew it wasn’t about the drugs.“I didn’t want Mr T to worry about me,” she murmured in reply.“Well that didn’t turn out well, did it?! Because now he’s super worried, super annoyed and super sad,” I said to her. She sniffled as she raised her duvet up to her chest and tucked the sides under her armpit. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.“No dear. You didn’t do anything wrong”“But when your daddy comes back, he might say words that do not really sit well with you, please understand that he’s just a parent, hurting deeply.” I said to her and she nodded slowly, I flashed her a small smile and slightly got up from my seat to hug her.“I’ll wait for your dad to come back
