Brixlee’s heart was racing as she stared into Xavier’s eyes. They had just kissed, the relationship she had considered friendship mere moments ago had just turned into something else. Hastily, she grabbed her bag and stormed off before Xavier could say anything.As Brixlee walked home, her emotions were still in turmoil following the unexpected kiss initiated by Xavier. The serene scenery around her failed to bring any solace as conflicting emotions continued to overwhelm her.Brixlee felt a mix of surprise and shock at Xavier's sudden act, his lips pressed against hers without warning. It was an intrusion upon their friendship that she had never anticipated. As she walked, the weight of this unexpected gesture hung heavy upon her, clouding her thoughts.She felt a sense of unease and discomfort, a gnawing sensation in the pit of her stomach. Deep within, a part of her questioned Xavier's intentions and wondered if their friendship was ever friendship to begin with .Arriving at her ho

Brixlee’s awe grew as she observed the intensity shared between Nathan and Allison, their familiarity and closeness drawing forth a painful realization. It was a reminder of the boundaries that existed, ones she had not dared to cross.“I think I’ll leave now, Mr Grey” she said as she walked away before Nathan could say anything.Allison watched as Brixlee left, and couldn't help but notice the glances exchanged between her and Nathan. Suspicion crept into her mind, leaving her with a sense of unease.She turned to Nathan.”Who was that? I saw her at your office the other day as well” she asked, her voice tinged with concern as she ran her hand through Nathan’s hair.“She’s Brixlee, my secretary” Nathan replied leading Allison to the car.As they entered the car, Allison's eyes narrowed, her concern growing. "I couldn't help but notice the connection between you and Brixlee just now. Is there something you're not telling me?"Nathan's brows furrowed, confusion flickering across his fea

Brixlee was finally leaving the hospital after she had been there for two weeks. Those two weeks had been great for her. Nathan had visited her at the hospital everyday during those two weeks and Xavier mostly came to visit during night time to read her bed time stories. Her grandpa came to visit with different elders from the elderly home on different occasions and Tyler would always bring her different flavors of pies every afternoon and he would sometimes bring his girlfriend Samantha without Xavier’s knowledge. And although, she wasn’t happy that all the exceptional love and attention she was receiving from different angles were coming to an end, she was happy to be going home to her new apartment.As she zipped her bag, she folded the duvet and placed it on the hospital bed, lost in thought. She hadn’t heard anything from the old man who had caused her near death experienceThe knock on the door interrupted her thought. It was Xavier.“You’re all set?!” He asked and walked in, ca

How could she be making out with her boss?? And in an elevator?? She had finally lost her mind. Slowly, she pushed him backwards, avoiding his gaze.Nathan smirked at her and sighed sitting properly and resting on the wall. He wasn’t sure why he kissed her. He just felt the urge to, an urge he couldn’t control."I'm...I...I'm sorry"He whispered in a low tone."No...no...its my fault, i...wasn't thinking straight" Brixlee exclaimed searching her bag for nothing in particular. Her hands were shaking and he noticed it."Are you alright?" He asked trying to hold her hand but she let go."Ye..yeah" she stammered.And with that, the awkwardness grew. They didn’t say a word to each other for some hours until Brixlee finally drifted to sleep. The night was silent and the only think Nathan could hear was Brixlee's breaths. He sighed, she looked really uncomfortable and cold in her sleep. He slowly removed his jacket and cover her with it placing her head on his shoulder.He knew he cared about

The air suddenly felt cold but Brixlee’s seat was still hot, turns out Xavier wasn’t over his feelings for her and he had haboured them and kept them in. She sighed, it was just three dates after all and she was going to reject him anyways after those three dates and they would go back to being friends again, easy peasy.“Sure, Xavier. Just three dates. Now, will you help me?”Xavier was surprised as to how Brixlee handled his request. “Sure!”And with that, the sky slowly turned dark as they discussed their plans in a low tone.…As Nathan and Allison curled on the couch, Allison’s phone beeped and she stood up, disengaging the hug.She was shocked to see that the text was from Xavier. Nathan noticed her sudden gaze and he was concerned.“Are you alright, babe?!” he asked, concern etched on his face.Allison shrieked, her voice laced with tension, “it’s nothing, Nathan. It was just a text from my laundry man” she lied, slowly curling up into his arms again as she felt a sense of reli
