(He's my boss!)‘He's my boss'‘So?'‘It's just a tie Jac'‘Another man's tie!'She scoffed loudly, ‘I just helped him adjust his tie and Ophelia does yours all the time so what's with the hypocrisy?!'.‘Mine's totally different. Ophelia and I are just friends and he's your boss....there's a boundary Kathy!'.She stared at her boyfriend in disbelief, taken aback by the sudden change in demeanor over the darndest thing, it wasn't like she cheated on him or did anything suspicious..she just helped her boss adjust his freaking tie!.‘I can't do this with you right now'‘So what??', he scoffed, ‘You're just gonna ignore the problem like you do every single time?'.‘What is wrong with you?!", she finally snapped and yelled bringing about the attention of the other staffs who rushed to the corner of the hallway to watch from a distance, ‘We had sex last night, we were okay this morning and now you're some jealous dickwad who can't trust his woman?!'‘Not when she's adjusting another man's—'
(Men really do suck)‘Come on Miss Turner let me take you home'. Grayson couldn't believe he was following this drunk woman down the streets of the city, trying to get her home before something bad happens to her.‘Go away', Kathleen drawled as she staggered endlessly on the road ignoring the passersby who wondered what was going on, ‘You're a horrible person Grayson Hunter'.‘I know and you can hate me for it. Just let me take you home', he said and quickly held onto her arm as she tried to step onto the road of speeding cars, ‘Jesus Kathleen you're going to kill yourself!!'.She laughed manically, ‘As long as I don't get to see....do you know much much of a gaslighting prick you are?? you made me think I was out of my mind! that I was just crazy for thinking to were Mathew Knowles. You treated me like crap all these months knowing you were the man I had sex with!!'.She was causing a huge scene, this was beyond embarrassing for Grayson who couldn't take it anymore and lifted her up,
(The final truce)Grayson held up a paper bag, ‘I thought maybe you'd like some wontons or whatever'She frowned, ‘That doesn't answer the question. What are you....why are you here Mr Grayson??'.‘You can just call me Gray', he answered, ‘We're no longer at the office. Can I sit here?'.Her eyes darted to the empty seat and she shook her head, ‘I don't think so. You shouldn't be here sir and I don't care if it's out of work, it's inappropriate'.‘We've done a lot of—'‘You're messing with me'‘I'm not'‘Then what do you want?'‘To talk'‘About what??'‘Us'‘There is no Us!'‘There is and you know exactly what I'm talking about'.She scoffed loudly as she just couldn't believe her ears, ‘All we had was just one night Mr Gray, just one night together which you denied for the past four months. You made me think that I was crazy and now you're here with a bag of wontons thinking I'd forgive you??'.Grayson took a seat irrespective of her wanting him around and placed the bag between the
(Happy birthday Mr Hunter)‘What do you mean let's take a break?'‘You heard me right'‘Kathy I said I was sorry!'‘Doesn't take away the impact of what you did Jac', she shrugged being so over this conversation, ‘I just want a break from all of this'.Jac couldn't believe his ears, her eyes lacked lustre and emotion as she stared at him coldly, ‘Kathy I'm sorry. I mean it'.‘It was the first time I told you about my parents Jac. It wasn't up to a full day and you used that against me...how am I supposed to trust you after this??'. She answered calmly as all she wanted to do was sleep and get ready for work.She wanted to end things with him right here, every sense of likeness went down the drain after he took a jab at her childhood and there was a limit to what she could forgive—he was a spoiled mother's boy who has been enabled all his life and had the emotional maturity of a five year old, she didn't know why she didn't notice this sooner.Jacob sighed, ‘I'll give you the space you
(Happy birthday Mr Hunter Part 2)‘So uhh...are you attending the party?'. Jacob asked immediately as Kathleen walked out of the building.She frowned deeply, ‘Yeah....you?'.‘I'll be there if you're there. A birthday party just seems so....sudden'. He answered.Her brows rose as she adjusted the collar of her blouse, ‘Can I help you with anything Jac?'.‘Can I take you to the party?'.‘No'‘Come on Kathy', he sighed, ‘We're on a break I get it, but you can't keep treating me like a stranger'.‘You brought that on yourself not me'. She shrugged lightly.‘How are you going to get to the party then?'. He asked, still determined to get her forgiveness.‘I'll take a cab Jac. I'm not a handicap, I can take care of myself'. She answered and walked away.He sighed deeply as he watched her leave, she certainly wasn't forgiving him any time soon, he thought as he pressed his lips tightly together. The image of her smiling with the CEO made his jaw tighten, his fears were coming to pass by the
( Happy birthday Mr Grayson Part 3)‘I'm sorry sir but I don't think this concerns you in any particular way'. Jacob answered.Grayson shrugged, ‘I understand you both have personal squabbles to settle but she's my assistant. She's my assistant before she's your girlfriend or wherever you stand in your relationship, and at this moment she doesn't want to talk to you—let her go Mr Hempstead, I won't be nice when I ask you again'.Jacob frowned and finally let Kathleen go, he might have a certain disdain for Grayson but he loved his job, his high paying job and wouldn't leave it for nothing so he walked away in defeat, still determined to get his girlfriend back. Kathleen's cheeks turned red with embarrassment as she turned to face her boss.‘I'm sorry you had to see that'.He shrugged, ‘Men do suck...me included'.Kathleen couldn't help but smile as he walked away with her tagging behind, he was charming—she hated to admit it but it was the truth, Grayson Hunter was a charming man when
(Happy birthday Mr Grayson Part 4)Grayson returned to the buffet hall with a forced smile on his face after his unpleasant exchange with his ex girlfriend. Kathleen didn't look happy, her eyes had a gloom to it and he would know cause she avoided making contact with him, he took a seat and another one of his staffs made a joke which made everyone laugh except her.‘Kathleen would you like to make a toast??'. Ophelia urged.‘No', she murmured, ‘Someone else should do it'.Grayson frowned as he wondered what the change in her ambience was, a few minutes ago she was all cheerful and now she looked like she just wanted to leave. He cleared his throat and took it upon himself to make a toast, so he rose to his feet and raised his glass to which everyone cheered—except Kathleen.Now he was getting annoyed, she was making his anxiety rise to a whole new level especially when this fake birthday party happened all because she let everyone know about it in the first place, now she wouldn't eve
(A night to remember....again)She let out a moan as he nipped the side of her neck, her lips were swollen as her nipples hardened just by the graze of her skin. Surprisingly the back of his car was comfortable, never in a million years did she think she would be in a man's car having the best experience of her life.Grayson was impatient but he was also careful as he unzipped her dress from the back, he let his animalistic urge subdue for a moment as Kathleen's dress looked too expensive and beautiful to ruin. She also helped as she shrugged his jacket off him, then she took off his tie and wrapped her legs around his waist.He smiled mischievously, slowly reeling her dress down to her waist exposing the white lacy bra she had underneath. He gasped loudly, the last time he saw her naked he was drunk—so drunk that he didn't fully appreciate how beautiful she was created, she had a few scars under her left breath which made her blush embarrassedly—she placed a hand over it which he yan
(The Final End)Two weeks later and Kathleen could be seen at the block's cookout organized by everyone in the apartment building to celebrate Nana Willow's birthday, she was ill and in her final days, and instead of spending it in the hospital she wanted to be around the people she loved and cared about.Plates started to pass around until it got to her, the smell of the best cheese steak sandwich from Devante's wafted into her nostrils and she could feel her mouth water just looking at it. Next to her sat Joana and her adorable twelve year old, Wallace was trying to find an excuse to play with the other kids whilst his mother was busy getting enamoured by Bobo, the dog walker from next block.‘So how's life treating you huh?', Mr Garrison asked as he took a seat next to her, ‘You know we miss you around here'.Her brows arched, ‘Come on...almost a year ago you wanted to throw me out on the streets. Don't play favors now that I've leased my apartment now'.‘Well that friend of yours
(Stay away from my son part 2)‘No??'‘No'‘What do you mean No?!'.Kathleen sighed deeply, this was like a movie, ‘Look here Mrs Hunter—I am not what you think I am, a golddigger. I love Grayson and considering how he was the one who chased me until I became his girlfriend I think you have an idea on what it is'.Evangeline pursed her lips as she placed a blank cheque on the table, she slid it over to Kathleen's side of the table, ‘That's a blank cheque right there.... anything you need... whatever you want...it could be a million dollars, name your price. Name your price and I'll give you what it takes just to stay away from my son'.Kathleen stared down at the cheque feeling almost insulted, the least Evangeline could do was be original and try something else that wasn't from the obvious plot of a movie, she chuckled softly, ‘You know this would've been the offer of a lifetime but why would I choose to take what you're offering, knowing fully well that your son can give me double?'
(Stay away from my son)Grayson was trying to get rid of his house hunger by having almost a gallon of fruit loops and milk, he was tired and now unemployed. It felt strange having breakfast all by himself by this time of the day, when he heard someone stomping towards him from behind and turned around to Kathleen, she wasn't happy, he smiled.‘Morning babe'.‘You told me everything's okay?!!'. She cried out.He shrugged, ‘Everything is okay. You're back from work early'.She winced, ‘Cut the crap Gray! Of course I'm back from work early cause I fucking got fired! I got a promotion and in a week I loose my fucking job all because my boyfriend couldn't give me a heads up about him losing his position!'.Her eyes were turning red by the minute, he pursed his lips losing his appetite immediately as his cereal turned soggy, ‘I'm sorry and yes—i stepped down as CEO'She gasped, 'Why would you do that?! I thought you loved your job more than anything Gray....more than me!'.He frowned deepl
(The New CEO)November 31st, 10pm to be exact, Grayson Hunter stepped down from his position as the CEO of Hunter's Group. He worked half of his life to be here, missed out on the fun of being a young man, never spent Christmas or his birthday with anyone, almost developed a eating disorder with his constant lack of a balance meal and all for what? all for his father to throw it away with some stupid marriage proposal.He didn't care, even if he worked his butt off to become the CEO he didn't care and he would do the same all over again—throw it all away if it meant he couldn't be with Kathleen. He was successful enough on his own, he had his own money which meant he didn't need his father's inheritance, he was rich enough to take care of himself and take care of his woman.He wasn't leaving Kathleen for anything, not even the job he loved most. A sniffle escaped him as he could feel the tears brimming in his eyes, ‘Take me somewhere else'. He instructed the driver in a icy tone.‘Sir
(Don't marry your assistant)It took a lot of contemplation but with enough pressure from Kathleen he finally managed to get into the car, dressed in a simple royal blue shirt with two buttons down and casual pants. Royal blue was his mother's least favorite color, she usually said the color reminded her of commoners in the most disdainfully way possible and he loved to piss her off.The drive lasted an hour before he got to his father's mansion. The Hunter family house, a sigh left his lips as he got out of the car, standing in front of the white mansion and feeling a dreaded sense of loneliness just looking at it. He hadn't been here in almost two years, he hated it, the two pillars that held the porch together up to the main door, the long bushes of carnellas that led up to the backyard which he was mildly allergic to but no one cared—he hated every single one of it, the stupid bright chandelier that once fell on his leg and his father had to tell him to act like a man and stop wai
(Wallace)Grayson frowned deeply seeing the list of potential candidates for the position of his new assistant—Incompetent they all were, unimpressive and most of all they weren't Kathleen. She'd done such a good job being his assistant that a replacement just felt like a let down, trying to fill up a void space.He flipped through the pages of each personal information when Theresa suddenly walked into his office with a stack of files, placing it on his table even though he didn't instruct her to. His brows arched as he looked up at her, ‘Pardon??'.‘These are the breakdowns you asked for sir'. She muttered in the most stoic way possible that it almost felt like a mocking sarcasm, ‘Unfortunately the assistant supervisor isn't here to bring these herself'.It subtly sounded like she was trying to insult his work ethic, and he knew Kathleen wasn't one to slack on the job, ‘It isn't the assistant's job. It's your job'.‘Sorry sir'. She nodded.He was already annoyed, he hated the blatan
(Babysitting Wallace)Grayson woke up the next morning before Kathleen to get ready for work. It was her day off which meant she had all the time in the world to rest, a smile crossed his lips as he walked out of the closet minutes later all dressed up after taking a shower to still see her clearly asleep with her curls sprawled over the pillow.He felt like a married man, she felt like his wife. He wanted their relationship to be like this forever, smirking as he adjusted the cufflinks on his sleeve. Kathleen rolled on and about the bed to the edge, he sat down and brushed a strand off her face before leaning down to kiss her cheek.Her eyes opened slowly, ‘Good morning'.‘Mmmh', he kissed her lips next, ‘I'll be back soon okay??'.‘I'll miss you'. She murmured still hazy.'I know', he replied kissing her again, ‘Don't forget you have your babysitting job today'.It finally clicked and she jerked up to her feet in a mode of panic, ‘Oh shit I forgot!! I need to go...oh it's not until
(The babysitter)Evangeline took a sip of champagne as Helena Watson joined her in the restaurant. A sharp brow lifted seeing as Helena had on the same faux coat as hers, she hated that, she hated duplicates of her and Helena Watson wasn't short of a dupe.‘Fancy seeing you here Eva', Helena drawled as she took a seat, ‘I haven't seen you in a while'.Evangeline frowned, ‘You've only met me once at The Le oud's art show. To what do I owe this meeting Helena? I was told it's beneficial'.‘It's about our kids', Helena delved straight into the point, ‘I'm proposing an arranged marriage'.Charming, Evangeline thought as she took another sip of her drink, ‘I'm listening....'*********Kathleen let out a moan as she felt his fingers in-between the walls of her special place. She playfully slapped his shoulder which made him laugh and finally back off as they were just having a wonderful time in the bathtub, her hair was wrapped up in a large bun with curly strands escaping at the front and
(Mommy issues Part 2)Kathleen wasn't sure how it happened but before she knew it she was on his bed, stark naked with his mouth on the side of her neck placing soft kisses.‘You were good today babe'. He whispered before kissing her so hard on the mouth that it took her breath away.She smiled as he broke away, ‘I'm never letting you do that again'.‘Do what??'.‘Seduce me', she stroked the undercut of his hair, ‘I'm worried about you Gray'.‘Can we not talk about me right now?', he kissed the corner of her mouth, ‘I feel like we should go another—' He was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone, ‘Ignore it'.He tried to kiss again and the phone wouldn't stop, she laughed softly pushing him away from her with gentleness, ‘You should answer that. I'm going to make coffee'.‘Stay', he demanded, ‘I'll be back in a minute'.She watched him leave not before he lightly tapped her buttocks in a playful manner, making a mental note to get her shots immediately to avoid conception.
