(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?'

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.

    (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

    (To woo a woman Part 3)Jacob tapped his pen on his table impatiently as he watched Kathleen from the adjacent side of the employee's lounge, conversing happily with Grant—his coworker and mortal enemy, but she didn't know the mortal enemy part, eating her lunch which was a Cesar salad from the cafe across the street.Seeing her look so unfazed about the fact that they weren't together anymore broke him, how he would always have his arms around her waist and feed her lunch, the opportunity to graft her morning smell whilst using bringing her coffee as an excuse —he could no longer do that now and as she was laughing with his coworker for some reason unbeknownst to him, here he was sulking and unable to eat the sandwich his mother packed him.‘You're bound to get over it sooner or later '. Ophelia muttered under her breath as she sat next to him.‘How can she be so happy?? It's like she was waiting to end things with me'. He said frustratingly.Ophelia shrugged, ‘Now you know I love yo

I care what you think and I'll be damned if you perceive yourself as a loose person just for sleeping with me'.Kathleen stared his disbelief, here he was trying to defend her from anyone who questioned her character and value—including herself! apart from Gloria he was the only person who has ever

  • My One Night Stand WIth Mr CEO   Chapter 59 More than a boss

    (More than a boss)Kathleen winced in pain as she caressed her left black eye which was in need of an ice pack, unfortunately the cops wouldn't let her leave and forced her to write a statement despite her refusal without the presence of her lawyer. Apparently that wasn't enough as she could feel the tears streaming down her cheeks—here it was, the justice system failing her again, she was the one who was assaulted and beaten, now because of her self defense she was being held in a cell instead of a hospital for her broken ribs.The clanking of metal was heard and she lifted her head up to a police officer opening her cell door, ‘Uhmmm we really apologize for the bad treatment ma'am'.He looked downcast, she frowned deeply as he was the same man who murmured a stupid sexist joke about equal rights bring equal fights. She ignored his help as he tried to help her get up, slowly followed him limping on one leg to the reception area where she found Grayson yelling at the supervisor, and t

    (Confession)An hour later and Kathleen was being helped into a fresh set of clothes that was gotten from the departmental stall across the hospital, a comfortable pair of sweatpants and a nice matching sweatshirt to go with it which had a cute mother duck imprinted on it.Her ankle was still sprained and she had to be placed in a wheelchair by one of the nurses, with a long list of prescriptions to help with her pain and a departure card telling her to get well soon. Grayson helped push her wheelchair into the elevator and out of the hospital building into it's vast parking lot.Then it dawned on her—she actually did live alone and Gloria was out again on a charity retreat, she gulped hard just thinking about it...but she was a fighter, she was a woman who came up with solutions and staying alone in her apartment after a vicious attack on her couldn't be so bad. Except that it was....she was terrified going back, judging the fact that she lived in the ghetto part of the city with bla

    (Living with my boss)She fell asleep on the couch and woke up half an hour later to the smell of bacon and cream wafting in the air. Her wheelchair was next to her which meant Grayson must have brought it out of his trunk when she was asleep, it hurt to try and get up on her own into the chair but she prevailed....even though it meant wincing in pain and having to take aspirin after to numb it.It wasn't the first time she was using a wheelchair as she rolled herself into the kitchen to find the chef making dinner, he was middle-aged man with a fine mustache, potbellied and wearing a chef's regalia—the exact replica of Gustavo from the movie about a cooking rat she watched years ago, just thinking about it made her giggle for a moment.‘No madame', he shook his head vigorously as soon as he noticed her in the kitchen with a very thick Italian accent, ‘Monseuir doesn't want you here nó'.She smiled at him as he seemed genuinely panicked, ‘It's alright, the food just smelled good so I

    (I love you )Meanwhile at Grayson's apartment, Kathleen just finished a hearty breakfast of oatmeal with chia seeds, courtesy of Roberto who implied it would help in healing her bones, three slices of bacon and cheese eggs to go with it. It felt nice being pampered for a change, she didn't have to rush to make herself a light breakfast or catch her breath running to the subway...she woke up happy, even though she still had a black eye that was healing up nicely.He had already left by the time she got to his room which got her disappointed, she loved seeing him in his ever pristine suits but that was a shame. A frown creased her brows as she heard the sound of the elevator ding and then a woman strode in carrying a huge box, then followed a very muscular man clad in all black and suede glasses.‘Uhh wh...who are you??'‘Your nurse ma'am', she responded with an also Italian accent but less subtle than Roberto's, Grayson Hunter certainly had a thing for them, ‘Mr Hunter wants you to be

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.
