(House hunting)

‘There was no need to fire him'

‘I've always wanted to do that'

‘I feel bad'

‘You shouldn't'

’Why would you do that?'

‘Cause I'm not going to stand and watch another man disrespect you', Grayson angrily made a turn and parked in front of a vegan grocery store, ’Did you really think I was going to let him get away with calling you miserly?? he made it seem like you're a tramp!'.

Kathleen wasn't sure why he was so heated and took a deep breath, ‘Technically he's not—'

‘No'

‘What?'

‘I won't sit here and watch you degrade yourself', his face morphed into a scowl, ’You were on a break, headed for a breakup, he wasn't your boyfriend at that moment and I don't care what he thinks. 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

    (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

    (I love you Part 2)They ate dinner with all smiles and now it was time to go to sleep, Grayson couldn't find it in his heart to fall asleep—not when Kathleen just told him she was in love with him, Kathleen on the other hand wanted nothing more than to go to bed, professing her true feelings made her somewhat tired her medication made her drowsy.’Goodnight'. She murmured, ‘Sleep tight Mr Gray'.He sighed deeply he leaned closer, ‘You're my girlfriend now. There's no need to call me Mr Gray'.A short giggle left her as she pulled him by the collar to give him a kiss on the cheek, ‘Goodnight Gray. Sleep tight.....I don't know if we're boyfriend and girlfriend yet'.He took a good look at her, if only she knew how beautiful she was at this moment, making him fall even more, ‘You love me. We're boyfriend and girlfriend now, you're stuck with me'.‘I'll run away once I can walk again'. She whispered teasing him, it was fun just thinking of the possibility.‘I'll hunt you down Kathleen Tu

    (Family ties)‘Hello there'. Grayson smiled as he walked into his closet, dropping his briefcase as he leaned closer to kiss Kathleen.‘Hello. How was work?'. She asked.‘Do you want to get married??' He asked all of a sudden almost making her choke on her spit, ‘I'm taking you to the altar'‘That's not funny'. She frownedHe chuckled softly, ‘It is. You don't want to marry me?'.’I barely know you'‘But you love me'‘Yeah', she smiled, ‘Yeah I love you'.‘I love you too', he sighed and kissed her, ‘How was your day today?'.She shrugged as she turned her chair around as they both left the closet, forgetting the pocketbook resting on her thighs, ‘The nurse gave me a good massage today, the drugs still make me feel shitty though....and oh—the bodyguard's name is Theo von Miller, like the actor. He's nice and handgsome'.‘Don't call another man handsome', he frowned taking off his tie, ‘I don't like that'.Her brows puckered, ‘You're jealous??'’I'm a man who doesn't like to share Kathy

    (Joana)Connor McKnight stood frozen with his mouth wide agape with a pack of beer on one hand and a polythene bag of Chinese takeout on the other, ‘Uhhhh this...this is awkward'.‘Of course it is!', Grayson growled in annoyance, ‘Why the fuck would you come to my apartment without—'‘It's the start of a new month. We always have men's night at the start of a new month!'.‘Oh', Grayson pursed his lips, ‘Well you should've called. I have a guest can't you see??'Connor's eyes darted over to where Kathleen sat patiently, her cheeks were flushed and her hands behind her back nothing short of sheer embarrassment being caught in an uncompromising situation. He waved at her and she nodded with an awkward grin on her face which morphed into a grimace, he glanced over the wheelchair and the back to Kathleen, then at his best friend and gasped.‘Are you two... did I...did I come at a bad time?'.‘Yes you did'. Grayson replied harshly. Connor McKnight had a special place in his heart and for a

    (Back to work)‘Hello babe'. Grayson muttered as he approached his girlfriend seated on the bench outside the hospital waiting patiently, he leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips and then handed her a bouquet of her flowers with a ‘Happy recovery' card.She flashed him a beautiful smile as she rose to her feet, being able to stand properly made her feel so alive again as sitting in a wheelchair for the duration of a full week made her somewhat miserable, she felt good, she was happy to round it all up...she was deeply in love with the man standing in front of her.‘Babe?', her brows arched, ‘We've been together for a week and now you're calling me babe??'.‘What do you want me to call you?'. He frowned deeply.‘Miss Turner'. She responded still wanting to ruffle his feathers.‘Fat chance', he tilted her chin upwards to kiss her again, ‘That's not happening.... only at the office of course'.She giggled as he placed a hand over her shoulders as they walked back to the car, he w

    (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

  • My One Night Stand WIth Mr CEO   Chapter 89 The New CEO

    (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

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.
