"Her pulse is steady. Is the wound bad?" A familiar voice meets my ears."The stitching should do." I can feel my eyebrows furrow at the unknown voice.The talking continues and I try my best to open my heavy eyes, once they are I close them just as quick. My head pounds at the exposure of such brightness, I groan painfully when my face aches just as painful."Rosaleigh?" A part of me wants to open my eyes again but the same part decides against it.Moaning painfully I use that as my response. "Okay Miss Clarkson I'm going to need you to open your eyes please."I'm fully awake although I won't open my eyes but I make the stupid mistake of shaking my head making me wince because my brain decides to bang against my skull.Through my closed eyelids I can see that everything became dimmer, dont ask my how but yeah."Now?" Mr Grey asks, I so badly want to go against him but I can tell that wasn't a request it was a command.I could be in a coma and he woul

"Rosaleigh!" The air is sucked out of my lungs, and the twins just tighten their hold on me.I tap my hand repeatedly on Julia's arm in attempt to tell her I can't breathe, her eyes widen in realization and they both break the hug.I take a huge intake of air and sigh in peace, a huge smile is plastered on all our faces.I feel eyes on me making me look back but the black SUV is already gone so I turn back, "Can I enter the house first before you attack me with questions?"Julio rushes into taking my bags and Julia makes way for me as if I were a guest.Twenty minutes later we are all on the couch and four eyes are strictly on me, "I'm fine, it was just a freak accident." I start off.Is 'freak accident' even the word for it?Julio gives me a glare, "You almost g–" I hold my hand up to stop him there."Almost. And I'm fine, I really hope y'all didn't make a huge thing out of it?" I raise an eyebrow.The

I open the room door and look immediately at my dad, his pale skin hasn't changed. His hair is all gone unlike the last time I saw him, his eyes have this glow that they always have when he sees any of us, despite what f*ck-ups we are.I open the door wider and the little ones run inside all happy, "Grandpa!" Nina finds a way to climb onto the bed and hug her grandfather.Kat sighs rubbing her forehead, "ay, Nina." She scolds.Dad let's out a dry laugh, "don't worry about it Kitty Kat." He rasps laying a kiss on the three year old's forehead.I move to the side to my two other younger siblings, Lucia and Ian. Lucia is the youngest of all five of us, twelve years old.She doesn't stay with any of us but rather with a foster care family in Georgia, when our mother passed away she was seven years old and I was twenty two years old juggling multiple jobs.And around eight that's when dad realized he had cancer and he had to go o

Drinks tonight?~JTym?~R9-ish? K&Anna will be there...~JI'll be late-ish, but I'll see u there :)~RGreat, Luminate on third. Can't wait ;)~JI shake my head smiling before placing my phone away and focusing on the mistifying creature of a man before me, "Why do I even have to join you? I'm practically dead meat." I groan, thinking of the irony.Nic hoists Mr Grey's right arm over his shoulder and Aaron does the same with the other arm, I grab his things and follow behind them.It's funny how when my boss is awake, he's on alert and notices every small thing but right now he's being dragged away by two people and he doesn't even bat an eye.Not like he ever does but it's almost like he's in a coma never bound to wake up but he comes back like Lazarus and tortures me for thirteen hours straight.We walk silently to the elevator and down to the underground parking lot, thankfull
The CEO Chapter 13
I flop down on my bed, mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. After I ordered an Uber for Jared who took his time telling me his address, I caught a cab for myself and on the ride home thought of what he did.I wasn't ready for that, after a wrong second or two of that I remember we pushed each other away almost like we realized what we were doing. It felt wrong, but I'd say I liked the feel of his lips on mine for only a second.Blame it on the tequila.Things were a bit awkward after that, a major part of me knows how wrong that felt. Almost like I was kissing Julio, the worst scenario that could happen.He's low-key my homie and that was wrong in so many ways, I just hope he doesn't remember anything seeing how drunk he was.I slip off my heels, fumble with the buttons of my shirt but give up after the third button and the skirt I just push down and let fall onto the floor.I slip under my comforter and close my eyes,

I walk out of the shop waving goodbye to Amelia, who gave me her number so that I could call her in case I needed a dress soon.I gladly took it though curious, my boss is leaning against the car phone in hand and shades on.I stare for a moment then snap out of it, he sees me approach and opens the door for me. "Twice in one day, I must be lucky." I joke.A muscle on his cheek twitches but he tries to hide it, "Mayhaps." I looks inside the car shaking my head, a bag with the signature Chanel brand on it.I look at my boss, who looks at me back, intensely. Waiting for me to argue, I sigh and enter the car silently, telling myself to just shut up.*~*~*~*"How's it coming up?" I look up and see Nic leaning on the door frame."Finally done, just adding the finishing touches." I mutter typing in the last sentence I need.Saving the edit, I hit print and let the printer do it's job. He enters and leaves a couple of

"Check, check, check and check." I look around and the almost finished gala decor.Mr Grey was right, today was a very busy day for me. Right now everything looks great, an hour before this officially starts the appetizers will be arriving and that's all that's left.Except for me, who is still is in her overalls because I didn't want to get dressy when all I'd be doing is running around like a lost dog.Like he read my mind, I recieve a call for my boss. "Outside." I look for Luke and hand him the clipboard to finish off whatever isn't ready and grab my bag before going outside.As always, he's leaning against the car, his phone in hand. "A little early don't you think?" I ask making him look up at me.His eyes go over my body, "Clearly not. We have a lot of work to do." He smirks when he gets a reaction out of me."Funny." I deadpan, he smiles once again making me smile then he opens the door for me.It's six thirty p.

I gaze outside in shock, I know the Grey gala has been a hot topic for the last two weeks but I didn't expect there to be a red carpet and dozens of paparazzi.Mr Grey exits the car and rounds behind then opens my door, the minute I step out I'm blinded by the flashes of cameras.Mr Grey's arm slips around my waist and pushes me very close to him, his scent wafts around me and the best radiating off him protects me against the cold of the night.We begin to walk, the flashes continue and questions begin to be thrown at my boss."Mr Grey who is accompanying you today?!""Will she be like the other models?!""Will your–"The questions end once we enter the two doors, I smile immediately at the lack of noise and bright lights.I am grateful when I see that everything is perfect, the hall is filled with many people, a lot of celebrities, many known businessmen and women, waiters walk around with trays of drinks and appetizers.Low murmurs and arr
