Chapter 6 

A week goes by in blur, Meredith has gotten quite close to some of her co-workers who are equally as friendly and sweet as her. As for Melissa, they never spoke of the incident that went down that afternoon. Either of them pretended to be friendly and acted civil towards each other. And tonight, since it's Friday, the group decided to head down to the bar and get drunk since it's the weekend and they don't have to work for the next two days. 

Meredith was eager to finish her work since it's been so long that she had gotten drunk and not focused on her work. By the time the clock turned 4, She rushed out of the office as if her Butts were on fire. When she reached home, she took a warm shower, and heated up the pizza in the microwave for dinner. She ate the leftover food along with a coke, her stomach full and satisfying by the time she had eaten everything. 

For her outfit, she decided to be bold for once. Taking out the flimsiest, shortest dress from her closet, she tried on the black dress admiring the way it accentuated her curves and breasts,fitting like a glove. The image that stared back at her was a contrast to the image months ago, somehow, her mind took her to the night she met Gray. There is something so unforgettable about the broody man who don't give a fuck about her. Shooing the image from my mind, she continued with her makeup and hair.

The club that the group had decided were twenty minutes away from her apartment, and only when she met up with Rose, Jenna who came reluctantly and the guys from the fashion department and newbie modellers of the company did she realise that the club was the same club She had met Gray,a year ago. And just like that,her mood dries instantly,the urge to get drunk Increasing ten fold. 

Meredith along with her group of friends walked into the club, eyes following her and thirsting for the dark hair goddess who seemed to catch every attention of the man. Meanwhile, Meredith were oblivious to the stares and attention she was getting since she had never gotten such kind of attention in her past. 

“You looked smoking hot in that dress, Meredith!” Michael shouted in her ears while they were huddled together, drinking on the bar. Michael is the secretary of one of the fashion designers of the company, he's a very cute guy with blonde hair and a small dimple on his cheek. He's always not subtle with his flirting but the alcohol seemed to have made him bolder. Meredith found him cute but she didn't want to lead him on by flirting back. She wished that he'll get the hint and stop trying to ask her out whenever they see each other. 

“Thanks Michael. Do you want to dance?” She asked, nodding towards the dance floor. 

Michael looked towards the dancefloor with a smirk, Meredith hated the smirk plastered on his face. 

Together they made their way to the dancefloor and Michael, surprisingly, led her putting his hands on her back in a decent way. It was easier to get lost in the music, dancing and swaying to the beats. Michael and Meredith spent the half hour laughing and dancing,letting loose and singing along to the songs, and drinking occasionally,each time getting more drunk. 

“I’ll be back in a bit!” Meredith screamed in Michael’s ear. She needed to release her bladder or else she'd peed on her skirt. 

“Do you want me to come with you?” He shouted. 

“No, I'll manage”  She said and pushed her way out of the crowd, swaying a little on her way. Meredith rushed towards the bathroom, her legs getting wobbly and head getting dizzy. She almost regretted coming to the club. 

She did her business and walked back to the dance floor, but this time a slow music was playing instead of the upbeat loud music which the DJ had played before, it was nothing like the club songs but she loved it. 

She made a move to walk back to the bar but was stopped by an arm around her waist. Feeling confused,she looked up and found none other than Zachary staring down at her with a soft, loving gaze. Her hands itched to shrug it off but she wanted to see what he wanted to say. 

“Let go Zachary” She grumbled with utter annoyance. 

“I need to talk with you,” Zachary says, his grip tightening around her small waist. Meredith felt her anger rising but before she could open her mouth, the arms around her waist were thrown off and a broad, tall figure stood in front of her. 

She instantly recognised the built as well as his expensive armani suit which fitted him perfectly. Gray eyes were trained on her face, unblinking and intense drinking up her feature. 

She wanted to look past his body to see Zachary’s reaction but all thoughts flew away when Gray dragged her away from the dancefloor. 

He led her outside of the club with an incredible speed. When he was sure that they were far away from the club and no souls remained on the streets, he halted in his steps, as did Meredith who followed him without much protest. 

“Gray?” She says,ignoring the way it felt so good to call his name without any formalities. 

“I need to talk with you,” Gray says suddenly, turning to face her. Even at times like this, his hard exterior never falters,but it seemed that it had softened a tad bit while he's outside of the company. 

Meredith felt her heart starting to pick up, “What is it?” She asked, biting her lips anxiously which didn't go unnoticed by Gray. 

“I need to have you again” He finally says after a long pause. The air turned suddenly more chill and intense. It seemed like the whole universe disappeared and it was only the two of them. Meredith felt as though she had heard it wrong, there is no possible way that Gray had Just said that. He had said 'again' which means he recalled that night. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. 

“What!? What do you mean!?” She asked, not hiding her shock. 

Gray appeared as if he had just thrown out random words, “What? You don't understand? I said I need to fuck you again. And of course, if you'll have me” 

Meredith shook her head vigorously, She couldn't believe her ears. “What do you mean again?” her voice sputtered. 

“Don’t tell me you  had forgotten or do I need to remind you how I can make you scream and Come all overy fingers and face?” he said unabashedly that Meredith felt herself turning red and turned on at the same time. Of course, she remembered exactly how that night went down, she had been craving for his touch ever since that day. 

“So, What do you say? Do you want me to fuck you again?” Gray suddenly steps closer  towards her leaving no space between them.  He grabs her chin and makes her look up. 

“I- What about your girlfriend?” Meredith needed to ask. At her words, Gray frowned and leaned down towards her ear, nipping there. She let out a small moan.

“If I have a girlfriend, I won't be asking you to let me fuck you” his voice sent shivers down her spine. His lips hovered above her ears and hair, arms going around her waist and holding her there. “If you say yes, I'll arrange a date for us” he added, squeezing her hips. 

Meredith felt her anger rising, She didn't want Gray to think that she's a cheap sex addict that would do anything he ask. She pushed his hard body with her might, glaring up at him. 

“I won't let you fuck me again,It's not even that good” She lied and stomped away leaving a fuming Gray behind.

    Chapter 7Mondays are always the worst way to wake up knowing that work is only a few hours away. Meredith trudged towards the bathroom and took a cold shower,screaming in the process. Only when the shock wears off did she feel all freshen up and she's ready for the painful working hours of the day.Dressed in a skin black tight pencil skirt and a maroon top, she tied her hair up with a silver hair pin. Applying a bare makeup on her face, She walked down the streets of her neighbourhood and hailed a cab, giving Directions to the cab driver.Most of her co-workers hated walking and coming to the office in a cab but she liked the simplicity of walking down the street and breathing in fresh air.

    Chapter 9MeredithI was the first one to slide out of the car and ran up to my apartment without needing to turn back to see if Gray was following.He did.What was I thinking? Bringing Gray Westmore to my apartment? For a cheap fuck? That sounds so horrible when I put it that way. I am single for almost a year now but sex with my boss?....Who is insanely hot and dangerous!?I could hear my heartbeat in my eardrums, ba..dum..ba..dum. We are in the elevator riding up to my floor, he's behind me,his scent assaulting my senses that I could hardly stand straight. It isn't too late to back out but my guts told me that Gray Westmore wouldn't be ecstatic about my change of decision and I wasn't saying that because I wanted him or his body.Nope.The elevator dinged, as well as my heart. Gray was the one to walk out,taking my hands in his and dragging me towards my apartment. I should b

    chapter 11We ended up on my bed... again. The kiss in my living room was the opening ceremony and then we moved to the couch, then to the bathroom, and lastly, we stumbled into my bed where we fell asleep and that was three hours ago.Gray lies on the right side of my bed while I stayed on the left side. He is snoring lightly with sheets covering up to his chest. I've been staring at him like a creep for the past ten minutes, wondering how the hell he got those long lashes and pink lips without applying any mascara or lipstick. Lips that kiss and suck so well. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts. My mind is always in the gutter whether I am at the office, with Ruth, or with the man himself. It's nauseating and a bit concerning that I can't unthink Gray's unholy images even in times not needed, specifically his coc…

She pranced towards me in record time, tilting my face with her fingers towards her to get a better view of my face. “Meredith... Shouldn't you be worried about your face? It's... concerning” She echoed in a worried tone.“Mhh Pppmmm…dramatic.” Was my reply with my mouth full. She rolled her eyes and bit out “I am not being dramatic, I just need to know

    Chapter 13There's always a sense of calmness that hits me right in my chest when I get to witness the pink and orange shade of the skies before it disappears right before the Sun comes up and then it suddenly turns blue and everything becomes normal again. Some Days It's not as pretty as the one I am seeing right now but a few times like today, the skies are exceptionally beautiful making me feel almost as if everything around me is beautiful except that it's not. My thoughts and mind seem to be consumed by the man who is unapologetically mean and crazily gorgeous.After he left me last night, Ruth and I had a long depth conversation on the phone for two hours that involved me begging for forgiveness at least in every sentence that I uttered until she forgave me and ordered me to spill everything that I'd been hiding from her.

He's being the usual douche bag by rejecting my calls even after I had called him more times than I could count and when he did, he answered with his usual arrogant tone, making me want to tear his head open and inspect, to see what composed of his brain(Possibly kgs of dried dog poo), I threatened to crush his balls if he didn't come to meet me. So, here I am waiting for my dear brother.I watched him stroll lazily into the coffee shop and heads turned in his direction, mostly the opposite gender.

    Chapter 22“Daddy Louis!” It was Noah who broke out of his confusion and ran towards his father. Jenna wasn't smiling anymore. Instead, she stared at her son, seemingly confused at his sudden appearance. I watched Gray's twin pick his son up and laugh when Noah said something in his ears. It made me wonder how Noah called both Gray his dad and Louis ‘Daddy Louis’ “Louis. What are you doing here?” Jenna took a step towards the father-son pair. Her tone slightly changes with her questions. It was so different from how she speaks with Gray and that intrigued me. Maybe it was because Gray had warned me that his brother was dangerous. The desire to find out about this man shocked me to the core. “Hi Mom,” Jenna took the whole introduction thingy to a whole level. She cleared her throat, “Oh right. This is Meredith, Louis.” At the mention of my name, his eyes shine with interest. He looks so kind and giddy, although he has the same face as his brother, I came to n

    Chapter 21It happened before I could even react, Gray was beside us in a flash. I don't know how things escalated that quick but One second, Zachary was kneeling beside me, and the next Second, he was being yanked up by Gray and they were in each other's faces. I jumped in shock and went instantly towards Zachary’s side trying to pull them apart which made Grey's seem even madder. “Oh My God. What are you guys doing? Gray! Let him go.” I shouted, scared that Zachary will get a punch without deserving it. “She’s not yours to touch,” Gray growled in Zachary’s face. I flinched at the anger in his voice. With much reluctance, Gray lets go of Zachary Collar but the latter is not having it. He growled and looked in my direction. “Meredith is not yours either. She and I went way back. It's not your business to act like the way you did.” It's obvious that Zachary was caught off guard with the way Gray reacted considering

    Chapter 20 Shit! shit! Shit! I realized that I didn't live alone anymore only When Gray dropped me at my apartment. How irresponsible of me to completely forget about my dear brother!? I only hope he didn't notice, which is wishful thinking. Of Course, He would notice! Slowly, I tiptoe inside my apartment, shutting the door. When I turned back, I screamed in horror seeing Ruth and Jonathan standing in the living room with arms folded in front of their chest. Ruth smiled evilly but Jonathan looked angry and his glare made me want to run out of my place. Anywhere that wasn't within his reach. “WHERE…THE …FUCK …HAVE…YOU…BEEN!?” Okay, I take back my words. He's in his maniac mode. The only time he has ever been this angry is when our old neighbor stole his puppy. The image of my old neighbor's bloody nose flashed in my head at that moment. “Get in here!” He roared at me. It didn't take seconds for me to scramble towards him.“I am so

    Chapter 19 I groaned in horror when I opened my eyes and was attacked with a killer headache when morning arrived. I was alone in Gray's bed wearing only my bra and panties, although We didn't have any sex last night, the guit starts to creep in, I felt uncomfortable to be lying awake in Melissa's fiancee bed. (That wasn't what you were thinking last night when you were ready to jump into the bed with him) I wish I could turn off my brain for at least a day so that I would stop feeling so bad. But what is done is done, I went with Gray willingly and obsessing over Why I shouldn't have done it won't erase the last twenty four hours. ‘It makes the world less unbearable If I am with you and I am addicted to you’ Gray words from last night echoed in my ears, I couldn't stop the butterflies fluttering in my belly. I was sure there was a wide grin on my face. “What are you thinking about?” Speak of the devil. Gray was watching me with arms crossed over his chest at the

     Chapter 18 Our Kiss doesn't last as long as I had hoped. We are interrupted by banging and cursing from the other side of the door. Gray doesn't let go of me even after I tried to push him away. He was relentless and held me still to his chest until the banging stopped and we heard the sounds of feet walking away. “Do you want to come to my place tonight?” He asked me, his blue orbs trying to figure me out. I wanted to lash at him, and slap his cheek at his suggestion but something about his gaze told me that he wasn't expecting sex but I don't make it easy for him. “Why Would I come to your place?” I asked, instead. He looked almost embarrassed at my question but hid it quickly behind his hard facade. “Because I want you to be there.” That seals the deal. Just a simple, affectionate word from him, and I was following him when he snagged me away from the bathroom and towards his car. Gray tried to open the door next to the

    Chapter 17  Finally, after the dreadful week of working and designing for the fashion week, I am oddly satisfied with how my designs work out. Zachary, bless his soul, was supportive and helpful when it came to helping me. He modeled, measured, and bought me food if I forgot to buy my lunch and dinner. Tonight is the night. The suit which I made would be worn by Zachary for the Runaway walk and it's killing me inside with nerves and excitement.For the evening, I wore my hair up in a bun with silver hoop earrings attaching my ears and colored my lips red that looked like I drank blood. It was my confident look(according to Ruth) but under the bold makeup and black sexy dress that has a slit in the middle that shows my thigh, I am filled with nerves, tension, and stress. Rose met me at the doorstep when I arrived looking like I belonged on the red carpet. She whistled and linked her arms around me, dragging me into the staff offic

    Chapter 16 Two days later, Jonathan moved into my small apartment along with his female cat(Which Ruth was overly ecstatic about because She believes that her cat can get some action when brought together). I made sure to roll my eyes over her enthusiasm. However, One thing which made me worry is how Ruth drools over my brother rather openly and does not bother to hide her flirting but I couldn't say the same for my dear Brother who had started working in the restaurant nearby my apartment, today. As much as I worry about the extra electricity bills, water bills, and food expenses, the tiny good part of me was content at seeing my brother finally coming to his senses. Currently, Jonathan and I are sitting on my sofa watching Disney channels like the old times, munching on pizza and sipping coke from the bottle. The two of us were too lazy to get glasses after the long day we both had but this moment, it's golden and a great distraction from my issue( that is my heart.) L

    Chapter 15 God,God! Why had I asked Gray to buy me dinner? He'll be here in an hour which gives me only fifty minutes to get ready!? It's only a dinner and Why am I treating it as a fucking date or is it? It can't be, a date is supposed to be a guy asking a girl out or vice versa but in my case, I was the one asking him to buy me dinner in exchange for his shitty behaviour. So, It can't be a date. With that in mind, I rummaged through my closet for another ten minutes, finally choosing a flowery summer yellow cotton dress that is sleeveless yet looks modest and classy. This would do. Thirty minutes later, Hair ; Checked Mouth breath ;Fresh and minty. Make up ; Checked Purse and phone ; Checked Scrunchies on my wrist ; Checked The only thing that isn't ready for the evening is my trembling heart. For the life of me, I couldn't stop myself from picturing the way he held me, stared into my eyes and Spoke so gently. Under any circumstances,I would hav
