My Boss's Son 19 - I'm not avoiding you
"I-I'm not avoiding you.""No?" He expresses a mocking smile on his lips. "That's not what Samantha said."I mentally grumble for having trusted her. How could she have told Joshua about the conversation we had earlier?"So, it's true?" He adds.I cross my arms indignantly and focus my gaze on the wall behind him, trying not to stare at him."Samantha had no right to tell you.""You also had no right to talk about my personal life," he retorts. "But here I am, wanting to talk."I roll my eyes and let out a sigh. It seems that this time, I really couldn't escape from that conversation."Look, if it's about what happened yesterday, it's better to let it go. It's not that important...""It may not be important to you, but it is to me," he interrupts. "Alice, do you really think I would waste my time chasing after a girl if it wasn't really important?" He furrows his brow.I moisten my lips and shake my head. Maybe it was time to be honest. Especially with myself."Joshua, I know what you

The next day...I take a deep breath of the evening air, lost in thought as I look at the medium-sized building."Be careful not to get lost in your daydreams, Alice," Gregory comments with a smile, holding one of my suitcases.I chuckle and shift my gaze to him."You didn't have to take time out of your day for me.""Why not? There's nothing better than helping a friend," he says with a smile, and walks past me, entering the building.I was about to meet my new home. A temporary home, but mine nonetheless. The day had passed quickly. I was so focused on moving into my new apartment that I didn't even notice what had been happening around me in the past few hours. I just wanted to feel the comfort of being in my own place again.I entered the building and took the stairs to the floor of my apartment.Excitedly, I pushed the slightly ajar door, revealing a place that looked very different from what I had seen the day before. The entire apartment was furnished."What happened here?" I s

We were silent and still. Joshua's gaze alternated between Gregory and me, still wearing an intrigued expression on his face."Huh, I better go then," Gregory comments, breaking the tense atmosphere, and walks past Joshua, who remained in the middle of the door.And suddenly, I become the center of his attention. I watch Joshua, waiting for him to speak up about why he's here. But he says nothing, forcing me to be the first one to say something."So... What brings you here?" I ask. Joshua shakes his head, indifferent."I guess it was a terrible idea to come here," he comments, turning to leave."Joshua, wait!" I stop him and walk towards the door. Even with his back turned, I can still deduce that he just let out a sarcastic nasal laugh. Joshua turns around again."Alice, I just wish I had been informed about your apartment by you, not by Samantha," he says, disappointment evident in his tone."And I don't even need to mention that you decided to leave without saying goodbye. And now,
Last Updated : 2023-04-08My Boss's Son 22 - Is she stalking me?
My shift was coming to an end. I was finishing up organizing the last files in the company's system. When I focused on something, I hardly noticed the day passing, unless I was in the most painful boredom."Huh... And how is Gregory?" Samantha asks, trying to make conversation.I'm surprised by her question. I didn't expect her to still care about him, or maybe she was just asking to avoid the almost deafening silence between us, as I was avoiding saying anything to her, afraid that I might slip up."He's doing well.""I'm glad he finally found a friend. Sometimes, he rushes into things a lot."Tell me about it."Has he given you a gift?" she continues the conversation."And you wouldn't believe it."I end up smiling ironically as I remember what he had done."He furnished your apartment?""How did you know?" I look away from the computer screen and gaze at her in surprise."He really did that?" She laughs, as if she had made a bet and won. "It's so typical of Gregory to do that. Can
Last Updated : 2023-04-11My Boss's Son 23 - New people and an unknown idiot
I enter the room and find a spacious area filled with natural light. I see other people arriving, some with brushes and paints in their hands, others with sketchbooks and pencils. I feel a mix of admiration and insecurity as I observe the other students, all seeming so talented and dedicated. Soon, the teacher enters the room and warmly greets us. She is a renowned artist and her inspiring words calm me down a bit. She introduces us to the course program and expectations for the semester. I feel excited and determined to absorb everything I can. "Well, before we officially start, I would like to get to know a little about each of you, your career goals, and other things," the teacher says. I see a girl raise her hand, the first one to speak up. "Hi, my name is Sarah and I love painting, the feeling I get from expressing myself through my canvases is... Indescribable." "I understand that very well..." another student responds. "I feel the same way when I'm creating my sculptures."

"Excuse me?" Joshua said to the man at the hotel reception."Yes?" The man's attention shifted slightly from the newspaper in his hands to us."We'd like to make a phone call. Where can we find a phone?""It's just to the left." The man pointed towards the end of the hallway.We followed his directions. I watched Joshua make the call and looked around, taking in every corner of the hotel. For a roadside motel, it was fairly tidy. But it had a memorial for all the people who had died there. Murders. I swallowed hard."We'll have to stay here tonight. The tow truck won't come until 6 a.m.," Joshua said, grabbing my hand again. We went back to the reception desk. "We'll need to find a room. Please... Do you have any vacancies?""One moment, I'll check." The man turned to his computer screen. "Yes, we have a vacant room. Are you a couple?""Yes.""Just a warning... The location doesn't favor couples' safety.""Oh. Sure." I noticed a nervous smile from Joshua."What did he mean?" I asked,

Just as I had suggested, later that day, in the evening, we went to a restaurant. Joshua seemed to have good taste in choosing places, and he suggested that we dine at Chiltern Firehouse. We placed our orders and waited for them to be ready. Our seating arrangement at the table was somewhat random. I sat next to Joshua, while Alex, Agatha, and Nathan sat on the opposite side."This place is amazing!" Nathan commented in English, clearly showcasing his Brazilian accent. Indeed, the restaurant in the hotel was incredible. Some potted plants and chandeliers with warm yellow lights adorned the place. The furniture reminded me a bit of old-time London royalty."So, when did you two start this relationship?" Nathan asked, trying to break the silence."It's still relatively new. But we started getting involved after we arrived in London," Joshua replied."I know, it's hard not to fall for his charms, isn't it, Alice?" Nathan said with a mischievous smile, teasing me.Now I could feel my face

I hear my phone alarm go off and realize that I had fallen asleep on Joshua's chest. It was already morning. I lazily open my eyes. Joshua was still asleep. I serenely admire his face. His breathing was calm. A silly smile spreads across my lips as I witness how peaceful he looks.Slowly, Joshua wakes up. His gaze falls on me."Why are you staring at me?" he whispers, a sleepy smile appearing on his lips."Because I can," I retort playfully."Silly..." He pulls me into a hug, burying his face in my neck. The silly smile on my lips only grows wider."You can stare at me as much as you want... whenever you want... always," his muffled voice against my neck sends shivers down my spine.He lets go of the hug, sitting up and painfully getting out of bed. He puts on the white shirt lying on the floor and comes back to the bed to give me a kiss."Will I see you later?" he asks, still close to my lips, and I nod my head. "Have a great day, beautiful," he whispers and steps back, going to the

My Boss's Son 55 - I will love you for eternity
[...] Years later..."You are the most important thing to me."I smiled automatically as I remembered his words. I could keep them in my memory as if they had been spoken the day before. But it had been so long ago...“Grandma. Tell us more about you and Grandpa Scott. We love hearing your story!”“What's interesting about it?” The little boy, standing a little apart from us, interjected. He kept his arms crossed and leaned against the entrance of the room. His expression showed little interest in the subject. “It's just another cliché romance.” He said, shrugging his shoulders and snickering.“Joshua!” The youngest protested. “Grandma Ali and Grandpa Scott's story is not boring!” The short-haired little girl exclaimed. “But you are! Please, Grandma. Continue.” She smiled sweetly.The three little girls snuggled up a little closer in the three armchairs next to me.“The little Joshua is right.” I smiled. “It's a long story of... A cliché romance.” I chuckled softly. “But when it's hea
My Boss's Son 54 - Honeymoon
Some months later, after the wedding...After an eternity of hours, we finally arrived at the Seychelles Islands, where we would spend our honeymoon. We decided not to have a religious wedding and to have a simple celebration, just for our closest family and friends. Joshua and I agreed to make the most of our honeymoon, so we went straight to a house a few kilometers from the beach. And honestly, I couldn't feel my legs. It took Joshua's help for me to get off the jet and into the car. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to move.When we arrived at the house, I collapsed onto the enormous wooden sofa on the balcony. I was completely out of it. The trip hadn't lasted long, but for me, it had been an eternity. Joshua had given me some lectures during the car ride, telling me that I should have eaten something before flying, but I wasn't hungry.I unlocked my phone and saw the unread messages I had received during the morning while I still had internet, because the region we were in di
My Boss's Son 53 - The surprise
"Oh. My. God!" I couldn't hide the expression of surprise and excitement on my face. Opening the doors to that studio was like stumbling upon paradise. A huge grin was plastered on my face as I surveyed everything around me. That place was amazing!My paintings were harmoniously displayed on every wall of that room under a covering. The panels, the easels, the original paints, the various types of brushes that I never imagined I could touch one day... Everything! Exactly everything that an artist needed was there.If the human ability to feel pleasure fit not only in the sexual sense, but in any scenario of excitement, I would say I was having an orgasm of happiness right there."This is simply incredible, Joshua!" Leaning against the door, with his arms crossed and a satisfied smile on his face, Joshua watched me."Every artist needs their space."I froze as soon as I saw Joshua's smile expand."What?" I asked, dumbfounded."It's yours.""What?!" My eyes automatically widened. "You'r
My Boss's Son 52 - Do you like surprises?
"Someone might be awake," Joshua whispered between short muffled laughs amidst our lips."Of course not," I assure him, pulling him against my body and into my house. His hands explored my hips even more. "They have a heavy sleep," I smiled mischievously.Joshua nodded in agreement and opened a sly smile, intensifying our kiss. I pushed the living room door open with my foot and wrapped my arms around his neck while his hands continued to slide lost between my waist and hip.Filled with excitement and fervor, I pull Joshua towards the couch, not caring about what was around us. "We're going to fall this way," I said as he almost lost his balance while being led to the three-seater sofa. "Are you in a hurry?" he asked teasingly."I want you," I replied without hesitation. "We have nothing to lose, do we?" I exhaled a playful smile."Is that so?" he bit his lower lip slowly. "If that's the case." He pulled me even closer to his body, where I could feel the bulge in his pants brush again
My Boss's Son 51 - I really missed you
Slowly, I pulled my lips a few inches away from Joshua's. A silly smile emerged on his face, prompting me to share the same. I leaned our foreheads together and couldn't contain the happiness that flowed through me. That moment had been magical."Um..." My mother clears her throat. "We're going ahead, okay? And... Just don't come home too late, okay? Let's go.""That's the Joshua guy, right? He's so hot!" I hear my aunt say, and I end up chuckling."Let's go, let's go."I hear my mother dragging our family out of the ballroom.Joshua steals a kiss from me and presses his waist, spinning our bodies, reversing our positions. His eyes fix on mine. Slowly, his body moves to the rhythm of the romantic and calm music playing in the background, leading me to also move my body, starting a slow dance."I still can't believe you're really here.""I said I would come, didn't I?""But I didn't imagine it would be today. And... here." I glance around, seeing the ballroom slowly emptying out."I fo
My Boss's Son 50 - I Love U
One year later…I took a deep breath, trying to control my anxiety. I was one step away from achieving a successful career."You got this!" My mother said, holding my hand as we looked at my paintings displayed in the huge exhibition hall.It was the last day of college. An artistic exhibition event was taking place, where the biggest investors would attend. They would analyze all the works, and the best ones would be chosen to boost the author's career worldwide. This was my biggest chance to pave my long-awaited path.My entire family was present, including some friends too. I confess that I felt a little pressured by the number of people rooting for me, but at the same time, seeing the number of people who believed in me was very rewarding.Through the crowd, I saw Benjamin approaching, which surprised me."Benjamin?" I smiled.It had been a long time since I had seen or talked to him. Since I decided to focus exclusively on myself, I didn't have much time to keep in touch with him
My Boss's Son 49 - A good day
I stretched in bed. For the first time in a long time, I woke up incredibly refreshed. The sun that invaded my room through the glass window barely covered by the curtain didn't bother me; on the contrary, feeling the warmth of the sun spread over my body was exceptionally pleasant.I got out of bed and lazily crossed the room. My sisters' beds were already empty. I headed to the bathroom in the next room. The smell of coffee was intoxicatingly circulating through the upstairs, contributing to my extraordinary morning good mood.I undressed, ready to take a shower.***I entered the kitchen. All the women in the house were already having breakfast, seated around the round table."Good morning!" I smiled. The tone of my voice sounded harmoniously cheerful."Looks like someone woke up in a good mood," my aunt commented, impressed. "What happened?"I shrugged. "I don't necessarily need a reason to wake up in a good mood." For some reason, the smile on my lips remained plastered on my fac
My Boss's Son 48 - The kiss
Benjamin's room was amazing, if I doubted, it would take three of mine. The blue color with white details around allowed the environment to become very harmonious. I sit on his bed."Sorry for what happened," Benjamin's voice sounds low and then he sits next to me. "My father drives me crazy.""It's okay. What would a 'family' dinner be without friction?" I try to make the moment more relaxed.Benjamin lets out a short nasal laugh."Thank you." He looks at me. I stare into his fascinating and friendly blue eyes. "Really. If it weren't for you... I think I would have been kicked out of the house today." He opens a small weak smile.Benjamin and I had spent a good time holding hands. He always made me feel better, so this time, I tried to reciprocate, even though it was a simple gesture.I look away from him."I still can't believe we're going to be siblings." I chuckle and rest my hands on the bed."Yeah... What bad luck." He says in an ambiguous tone, but then lets out a small laugh.
