Chapter Seven| Goodnight.

"So, how was your first day at work?" Aurora asked me a bit too cheerily and I frowned dropping myself onto my bed, I was exhausted, annoyed and hungry. "Not good I suppose?"

"It was awful," I said into the pillows and she shifted closer to me.

"Say that again please?"

Lifting my head, I balanced it on my right hand and stared at her heaving a sigh. "It was awful, I knew I wasn't going to like it."

"Why, what happened?" she asked concerned climbing onto my bed and letting me rest my head on her thighs as she ran her fingers through my hair.

"He was a dick, I mean when is he not? So I arrived at work late, then I met this gorgeous man whose name was Jack, he had the most beautiful blue eyes I'd ever seen, plus he had a man bun, he was really hot," I said explaining my day in detail for her.

"He sounds interesting," she commented as she started braiding my hair for me, she was already in her nightgown and looked super adorable with the ponytails on her head.

"Well, I wouldn't really know. Anyway, carrying on with my day. I asked Jack where I could find JJ's office and he said 'the devil's den' was at the end of the hall, I wondered why he called it the devil's den when JJ is a super nice person right? So we thought, so I make my way to his office and he was sitting behind his desk looking like a whole daddy with his glasses on the bridge of his nose as he stared at his papers making notes, he's really hot when he's concentrating on something, I really wonder-"

"You're sidetracking, Amelia," Aurora said and I mumbled out a sorry, it tends to happen whenever I talk about Daniels, all the time.

"So, after recognising that I was there, he looked at me and grumbled out the words, 'You're late' and I tried to make up some excuse or tried to make him see things from my perspective but he immediately shut me down and I asked him professionally what was my job right? And you won't believe what he said!"

"What did he say?"

"He said I'm his new personal assistant because the former one quit and he didn't even bother mentioning why she or he quit. "

"No," she said and I snapped my fingers agreeing. "But that isn't what you went to school for!"

"That's what I told him and he said that he knows that I basically went to school for the CEO position and there were no ways he would ever give me his company, so I decided to make a joke and asked if I worked hard enough would he give me a job and he didn't find it funny."

"That is a bit funny, what did he say afterwards?" this is why I love Aurora, she was such an engaging person even when something bored her but she would try her best to make someone feel comfortable around her, and that's why I can't wait to see her as a mother, to Chris' children. 

"He said that he knows we're friends outside of work but I shouldn't bring our friendship relationship to work because he's now my CEO and not my friend, the nerve!"

"I thought you were more than friends," Aurora commented and I whimpered.

"Apparently not, so I shut off and asked him what I had to do and he assigned me my work which was a bunch of papers that I had to scan into my computer and make sure they were in the correct order. So I did exactly that the whole day and I did my absolute best in ignoring him."

"I'm sorry sweetie, is that the end of the story?"

"No, so he comes to my office, oh I forgot to mention that my office is connected to his, it's like my room and the ensuite bathroom right over there, it's a pretty beautiful office but it's a bit empty and bland."

"I guess you'll have to make it more like, you?"

"Exactly," I got off the bed and slid my dress down and walked to my bathroom so I could wash off all of this make-up and freshen up before going back to Aurora. I wore my grey sweatshorts and a baggy crop shirt before joining her on my bed.

"As I was saying, he came into my office and asked me if I had eaten anything and I said I was fine and that he shouldn't care about me, right then and there the stupid printer stopped working and I had to go to the eighteenth floor to finish up my work.

That's where I met this other guy, uhm Max, so Max tried being funny and because I didn't want to make things any more awkward than they were, I carried on laughing at his jokes and out of nowhere JJ appears and commands me to come back to the office and says that in my contract there was no detail of me leaving the office and flirting with other guys!" I exclaimed and she gasped.

"You lie!"

"Girl, I'm serious, I have never been so livid and under control ever in my life, but I went back to the office and you won't believe what he was calling me for."

"What was it?" she matched the smile that was on my face and I covered my face with my hands squealing.

"He got me food! And he let me sit on his chair while he sat on the other side," I said holding onto my burning cheeks.

"Oh my gosh, that is the cutest yet most dominating thing ever!" Aurora squealed and I giggled shaking my head.

"No, he was just being nice."

"So did you guys fuck after that?" she asked and I laughed not shocked at her bluntness, that was something I was used to with Aurora, very cute and gives off innocent vibes but she's far from being innocent.

"No we didn't, he offered to take me home but I had already called, Chris," I said and I saw her cheeks flame up and I grinned. "Talking about Chris, he filled me up on some details between the two of you today, so what happened?"

I asked pushing my face right in front of her blushing face.

"Nothing happened, we're talking about you and JJ here!" she said and I shook my head tickling her sides and she screamed for me to stop. "Okay fine, I'll tell you!"

"I'm waiting sis," I said and she smirked.

"Let's go get food first," we went downstairs and made a quick sandwich sitting down on the kitchen floor waiting for her to talk about her crush seeing that I had already talked about mine.

"Speak."

"So after dropping you off at work, he came back and came to the kitchen asking for a glass of water from me specifically out of all the three other maids in the kitchen, so I poured him water and passed him the glass, he softly grazed my hand and I swear Amelia, my whole body lit up like a fire and I just wanted to jump on him!"

"That better not be the end of the story," I said staring at her and she grinned shaking her head.

"No it is not, so after grazing my hand, he brought the glass to his lips and my eyes were trained on his throat as his Adam's apple bobbed as he downed the water within seconds, as soon as he was done, he slowly licked his lips while staring at mine and Amelia!"

"Aurora!" I said holding my hips waiting for her to finish her story.

"When his eyes met mine, I became a puddle. Oh my Aurora I'm so in love with Chris, and I just want to, I just want to..."

"Fuck him, you just want to fuck him!" I said finishing her sentence and she giggled nodding her head.

"I really do! So do you."

"Eew no, I don't want to fuck Chris," I said shocked she would even say that.

"No, I meant JJ you idiot!" she slapped the side of my head and I grumbled holding it.

"I do, no lie."

"So is Operation SJ still on?" she asked her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"It definitely is! But I won't be executing it now, still have to get comfortable."

"Aren't you two supposed to be sleeping?" a deep voice said behind us and we both jumped looking behind us.

"Chris! You scared us," I said and he smirked his eyes trained on a very quiet Aurora. "But you're right, we should go to sleep."

I said quickly washing our dishes and taking glances between Aurora and Chris, cowards!

"Can I say goodnight to Aurora, Ms Adams?"

"It's- be my guest, goodnight Chris," I grinned leaving the two of them.

At least they're progressing.
