Someone finally came up and handed me a clipboard with a bunch of paperwork and walked off before I could ask how Derek was doing.
The paperwork was asking for a bunch of his information like date of birth and insurance which I didn’t know so I threw it to the chair next to me as I sat down.
After a few minutes, the phone in my back pocket started to ring, scaring the shit out of me as I had forgotten about it.
The screen had Linda written across and a green or red button, assuming the green was for pickup I selected it.

I awoke with a slight panic before remembering where I was. Glancing at the empty hospital bed, I walked over to the window to let in the sun peeping through the bottom of the curtains. I could hear the shower running and I had a wicked thought of curiosity to open the door. To my disappointment the shower turned off before I could decide to act upon it. I scrambled back to the bed, turning my back to the room so it didn’t appear I was waiting for him. The door opened and I could hear him walking across back to the bed, rustling with either the sheets or clothes. “You snore when you’re asleep” Derek said, breaking the silence. “That’s a lie if I’ve heard one” I said, turning around confirming my r

When we arrived in Tokyo, it was dark. We headed straight for the hotel without a word together. It was raining but the light up towers were just as pretty as back home. When we got to the hotel, Sam was quick to get out and grab everyone’s suitcases. We didn’t have much considering Linda only had me book the rooms for a few days.She accompanied me to the receptionist desk as I went to check in and grab our keys, while everyone else waited by the elevator. The lady was nice and welcoming, greeting us in English to my surprise. It did make me feel a little guilty for not knowing the language of the land but also I know Linda had mentioned this was one of Derek's favorite hotels to visit while here.The hotel was small but luxurious enough that I was able to book an entire floor for all of us, so we would all have ou

Groaning, I rubbed my head as it throbbed from a headache unlike anything I had ever experienced, peeping through one squinted eye at the darkened room around me.“Drink the water on the table” Derek said somewhere to the right of me.“Shhhh!” I said back, my head hurting at the sound of my own voice as I sat up. The room wouldn’t stop spinning so I quickly clamped my eyes shut, pushing down the wave of nausea that came with it.“Water Avery. Then aspirin” he demanded. This time he shoved the items into my hands. I gulped down the water and pills blindly.We sat in silence for what felt like to me an eternity before I braved to open my eyes agai

I wrapped my legs around Derek as he pushed me harder into the wall. Derek gasped at the motion, dropping my legs as I slid to the floor. He clutched at his side, blood seeping through his shirt. “Fuck I think you tore some stitches” he said, pulling his shirt off to revealing the bleeding wound. “I’m so sorry” I apologized, running into the bathroom to grab a towel. He took the towel from me and pressed against it. “Do you need anything else?” I asked him. He looked at me blankly. “I need you to leave” His harsh tone shocked me and I don’t know why it also hurt. I bit down onto my teeth to stop myself from crying as I nodded and hurried out the door

I slept the majority of the plane ride home. Home. That’s what it was now. I had nowhere else to go. I sulked around my room most of the days, unsure what to do with myself.Derek had avoided me for almost two weeks now, not a word, barely a glance in my direction whenever I did see him.I had asked Linda what I could do and she said that I was only to assist Derek, no one else. Well that was helpful.By now, I had memorized every room in the penthouse. The beautiful library full of books, I had taken a few and stashed them in my room when I was truly bored. There was also a small gym on the other side, tucked away almost hidden. It was a small room of mirrors with only a bench and a set of weights.

“I’m sorry” Derek said again. I had moved to the farthest corner of the elevator, crossing my arms glaring at him.He leaned across from me, staring back.“I had no right to view your past, but I didn’t say anything to make you feel… less than.” He paused as he spoke, as if choosing his words carefully.The flame of anger inside me started to dwindle but I still refused to speak to him.“I… I’m not good at casual conversations, okay? Business. No problem.” Derek said, running a hand through his hair, tossing it slightly. I snorted at the fact that it only made him look better, his hair out of place.He

Thankfully Natalie didn’t press me for any information on what had happened. She let me quietly head to my room with no explanation and disappear for the rest of the night. As I took off my dress, my hands retrace the spots he had touched, sending shivers down my spine. I have had my fair share of partners, one of the easiest releases for quick happiness growing up. But this was different, there was nothing quick about it. It was a slow burn that was all consuming, I had never felt anything like it. Butterflies turned my stomach at the thought of him touching me again, and finally getting the chance to return the favor. I shook my head, clearing it as I took a very cold shower.When morning came, the bed was drenched from my dreams of the night. My mind had played over and over again the ways I wanted to be taken. I got out of bed for a second shower and determined to play the gam

I glanced down the aisle with the ridiculous amount of choices, I thought about how this would be the first time I could afford to buy whatever I wanted. That I didn’t have to make my way to the public health clinic and ask for free supplies for those few days during each month. I let myself smile at the thought and then quickly glared at the amount of choices again. “Well, I’ll be damned. I figured you would never leave that hellhole of town.” A nasally woman's voice said next time. I glanced up at her and looked around, it was only her and I in the aisle. I looked at the perfectly manicured woman in front of me, there was nothing out of place about her. There was not a hint of familiarity about her. “I’m sorry, do I know you?” I asked, I was certain she had the wrong person.

It’s easy to see the flashes from outside the tinted windows of the car. “Can they even see us?”“No.” Derek says, his hand intertwined with mine. “So they’re just taking photos of a car?”Derek sighs. “Yeah, they just rapidly shoot in hopes of getting the one perfect shot. You ready?” He glances at me wearily. No, not really. I nod anyway and he lets go to open the door and climbs out. The people surrounding the small sidewalk in front of the restaurant instantly start yelling for his attention. He holds out a hand for me to grab and I hesitate. I don’t know what I was thinking by wanting this. I’ve always hated attention and this is like being put under a microscope. Derek is watching me with a hint of sympathy and I take a deep breath, putting my hand in his. I’m thankful that there are men blocking the people with cameras flashing because I think without them they wouldn’t even allow us to walk in the restaurant

“Can’t… breathe..” I croak Natalie lets go of me and takes a step back, holding onto my shoulders. “You know I hit him with one of my pans.” My eyes widen and I look at Derek, who nods wiping his mouth to hide a smile. “Umm.. thank you?” I laugh softly. “Well he deserved it so no thanks needed.” She pushes my shoulders back and looks me up and down. “You been eating? You looking a bit skinner?” Linda is standing awkwardly to the side of us as we’re all gathered in the kitchen. She’s kept her gaze down and hasn’t spoken a word since we got in. “Yeah. I have been. The first couple of days were rough but I found a place to stay and she kept me fed.” “Where’d you go?” Natalie asks, giving Derek a hard stare. “I ended up in Arizona.” Derek kisses my temple and squeezes my forearm as he passes us. “I have a few calls to make. All your stuff was moved to our room.” I narrow my eyes at his statement as he chuckles and walks towards his office in t

“Are you insane!” I screech. “Get off the floor right now.”Derek smirks and it has me pausing the full panic meltdown that was about to ensure.“Why are you smirking? This isn’t funny. You don’t just propose to someone.”He laughs as he stands back up, but I could see the small black box he was fumbling with in his hands. I think he was serious about the proposal the longer I stared at it.“Because never did I think I was going to propose to someone and then they reject me, but to be honest I expected it somewhat.”“Somewhat? There was a part of you that thought I was

Grunting, I left up the full box napkins and held them on my hip and I backed through the door of the kitchen. I just needed to fill them up for the breakfast shift and I would be good to go for the night.As soon as I walked through the door, a prickling of my skin up my back made me hyper aware I wasn’t alone. I dropped the box on the floor with a loud thump and turned around, the knot in my stomach only tightening when it was who I expected. Or maybe hoped.He leaned against one of the booth tables, his arms crossed against his chest in a dark blue tailored suit. His eyes stared at me with a dark intensity that warmed my center. God I had started to forget how beautiful he was.“Your purple hair friend w

“Black as my soul.” I beamed at Mr. Johnson, setting the coffee cup in front of him. “Are you going to take a cinnamon cake or bagel this time?” The elderly man grunted. “Stop trying to fatten me up.” He shot a quick look at Ms.Gibson, who was bringing out a fresh tray of pastries from the kitchen behind us. I smiled, knowing she heard him as she tsked her tongue. “Stop harassing my help. You know I take in broken souls.” Mr. Johnson huffed and looked back to me, sipping his coffee slowly. “You ready to share your story yet. Gossip around town is pretty boring, boy problems.” He rolled his eyes. I shot a glare at the old lady next to me. “Thought you didn’t gossip? Locked up like a vault?” &nb

“You look lost”I turned toward a woman leaning against the side of the lockers of the bus station. Her purple hair stood out against her pale skin, the dark jeans showed off her curves while the cream sweater and black leather jacket hid her upper body. She had an expression of boredom but her blue eyes held a hint of amusement.“The question is do you want to be found?”I stared at her for a few seconds and shook my head. I had found a taxi that was off duty and I slid in the back without question. When the old man turned around to yell at me, I bursted out in tears again. He was kind enough to take me to the nearest bus station. He was even kind enough to hand me a bag as my stomach lurched to empty its contents again. I’m sure my red puffy face

“This is the budget, the list of everything you need to plan and order.” Linda dropped a giant black binder on the counter.I groaned, dropping my bagel onto the plate and shifting through a few pages. “What is this for again?”Natalie snickered behind us in the kitchen. She knew and I knew exactly what it was for because Linda has been stressing over it for the last week.“The Charity Ball” she replied, her tone full of ice. “He might allow you to slack off, but I'm drowning.”I sent a wicked smile to Natalie and turned back to Linda. “Of course. I’m sorry. I’m such a horrible assistant. How can I help you today?”Sh

I felt his fingers tracing designs on my hip and I opened my eyes to lock with his.“Good morning, beautiful” He smiled, pressing a soft kiss on my lips.“You’re still here…” I breathed, cupping his face with one hand, my thumb traced his lower lip.Derek kissed my thumb, then grabbed my face bringing it forward for a harsher kiss.“Where else would I be?”I didn’t answer and we just laid staring at each other for awhile before my stomach rudely growled. He chuckled, moving his hand to rub it. The motion made me tense, uncomfortable with how intimate it felt. Brushing a small kiss on my stomach, Derek sighed and got off the bed.
