(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
(Where do we stand?)Kathleen woke up the next morning on Grayson's bed. She yawned loudly as she turned around to find his side empty, then she smelled bacon, the chef was probably making breakfast she thought as she sat upright.A smile tugged at the corner of her cheek, she shouldn't feel so happy but for some reason she was. They had the most amazing sex in his car, and then he drove her to his home whilst she was naked in the backseat, it was a wild exciting ride trying to get to his private elevator without anyone noticing. They giggled when one of the security guards spotted them in the dark—bamboozled to see a fully dressed man carrying a naked woman inside a private elevator.They made love again, on his bed and he whispered sweet words inside her ear until she collapsed on top of him, drained, excited and fell asleep on his chest. Now she was awake, in his room for the first time—not really the first time, but the first time on his bed and stark naked. She finally got up and
(Let's end things)Kathleen knew she was in for a long run when Grayson Hunter was the first thing she thought of as she woke from her long nap, she got up from her bed and looked out the window . It was twilight already, tomorrow was also a Sunday which meant she had the day off to do whatever she wanted.His beautiful smile crossed her mind again, she frowned deeply and then proceeded to pour herself a glass of juice from the fridge. Seeing her refrigerator be filled with fresh fruits and groceries just made her so happy as she couldn't remember the last time she had a full pantry, few months ago she relied on stale bagels and expired cream cheese to get the day going—it was a miracle she didn't die of food poisoning and salmonella.Her phone started to ring as she took a sip of her orange juice, she checked the caller and it was her boss, a depressing sigh left her as she picked up the phone, ‘Yes??'.‘I've been calling you', Grayson muttered from the other side, ‘Are you avoiding
(A love triangle)Grayson rushed out of his car and up the stairs to Kathleen's door the moment he heard her hoarse voice on the phone, she tried to play it off really hard as just having a cold when he called to ask about a file—he knew what her crying voice sounded like and didn't hesitate to grab his keys, took a quick stop at Devante's to get her a sandwich and was now in front of her door.Kathleen's head ached badly from crying her eyes out when she heard a knock on her door, she sniffled loudly as she reluctantly got up from the ground, strode towards the door and opened it to her boss who barged in without question and dropped a paper bag on her table.‘Wh...what are you—'‘I heard you cry'‘I said I was okay'’You're clearly not', he frowned, ‘What happened? Tell me'.She stared at him in disbelief, she didn't call for him, didn't want him to be here but he came. He came as soon as he knew something was wrong, no one had ever done something like that before apart from Gloria—
(We can't be together!!)Grayson waited patiently in the parking lot after work hours for Kathleen but she never showed up. He was starting to get impatient, looking down at his watch incessantly when Kathleen suddenly appeared walking towards his car. He smiled, she had a black pencil skirt with a sage green shirt to go with it, her hair was straightened again and wrapped in a tight bun—he loved when her hair was wild and free but that wasn't part of the company's dress code, maybe he should review some of the rules for her sake, he thought as she opened the door joining him at the front.‘Hey', he whispered, ‘You look beautiful today'.Kathleen sighed deeply, seeing his face almost had her throwing her previous decision to stay away from him out the window, but she was determined to remain strong, ’I only came here cause you said it was urgent. Show me what you need to so I can—'‘Did I do something wrong Kathy?'‘No'‘What's with the cold shoulder?'‘There's a rumor going around th
(To woo a woman)’Answer the question Kathy'‘I don't think that's necessary'‘Come on I know it's not that much of a big deal. Just tell me—is it your boss?'.Kathleen remained silent as Gloria's eyes widened in excitement, disgust and pure shock at the same time, ‘Oh my God it is your boss. Kathy!!'.‘It was a mistake okay?!', Kathleen cried out in protest, ‘We got into an argument and he told me he liked me and before I knew it we were both doing it in his car. Then we went to his home and did it again, he made me breakfast, he sent me a nice gift, he let me cry in his arms when I was hurt by Jac and it happened again....for the last time...I promise'.Gloria was obviously stung by surprise as she staggered back into the couch and plummeted from there to the ground, ‘Oh my freaking God!!!!'.‘I know', Kathleen sniffled, ‘I'm a horrible person. I cheated on Jac and I feel like—'‘Who said anything about cheating? you were both on a break and you were about to break up with him befor
(To woo a woman part 2)‘Are you kidding me?!'. Connor almost choked on his can of beer, seated on Grayson's kitchen stool as he just heard the most surprising thing in a very long time.‘It's nothing but the truth Con', Grayson shrugged, ‘We had sex and now she hates me'.‘She doesn't hate you I'm sure of that'‘She doesn't like me either. I am determined but good heaven's she's making it hard...I've never chased a woman before, this is all so new to me'. Grayson muttered as he took a sip of his beer.Connor McKnight took a good sweep of his friend and couldn't help but notice a change in his behavior, Grayson was much more laid back and clad in a simple tee shirt and faded jeans, even Connor himself couldn't remember the last time he saw his friend wearing a simple shirt that wasn't tailored and ironed to perfection.Grayson looked more relaxed, he smiled more, he ate more, he was much nicer and not his usual broody self and Connor wasn't sure if this was Kathleen's doing all by her
(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.
