Butterfly and the CEO
Chapter 7
Zac's point of view
It's Saturday night, and I still can't get the alluring redhead out of my thoughts. I've decided that come Monday morning I’m going to ask her out on a date. Yeah, me, Mr CEO Harris, who doesn't do dates. Don't get me wrong; now I like a bit of female company, same as any other red-blooded man, but actual dates, that’s a big no. I’m a love 'em and leave kind of guy less hassle that way, but Ellie, there's just something about that woman that pulls me in. Fuck the no dating staff rule. This is my company, and I make the rules.
So I guess it's time to change them.
I call my younger brother Ben to let him know that I will meet him down at the club later for a few drinks. I need to pass a few hours now that I've made up my mind to ask Ellie out. Monday can't come quick enough.
I get dressed in a pair of smart jeans and a nice fitted shirt before heading off to the club where I have part ownership with my brother. Hes already sitting at the bar when I walk through the door. He spots me as I’m walking over to him, smiling as he says.
“Hey Zac, I've got you a whiskey.”
I grin; God, I need this.
“Cheers, brother,” I reply.
I order us both more drinks as we talk, although my thoughts are still elsewhere. Yeah, you guessed right, the sexy little redhead. Damn, she's driving me crazy.
Ben turns to look at a couple of pretty blondes who've just walked through the door. He grins as he says.
“Hey hot blondes, alert l, are you with me?. “
I turn back to my drink, shaking my head, as It's not a blonde I'm interested in.
“Na, I’m not interested; you go for it, though.”
Bens turns his head back to me sharply as he says.
“Fuck Zac, what's going on with you? You never turn a pretty blonde down.”
I laugh as I shrug my shoulders. I don't fancy my brother winding me up when he finds out a certain little lady has got me all worked up. I order another round of drinks as Ben goes to chat with the blondes. A couple of minutes later, he's back, and I laugh as I say.
“What's up? You losing your touch?”
He chuckles, shaking his head as he replies,
“No way she’ll be back looking for me later.”
He turns to talk to me, but my eyes are elsewhere.
The same little sexy redhead, who takes up my every thought, just walked onto the dancefloor…….
And fuck does she looks good.
My eyes are drawn to her, and I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, running my eyes up and down her body; her dress emphasises her womanly curves, her fiery red hair glowing in the lights, and I can't take my eyes off her, she's beautiful.
I hear my brother mumble something that I can't make out
“Zac? Zac? Hello, earth to Zac?”
He says as I reply.
“Mmmmm, what?”
I answer him back, still utterly oblivious to anything he's just said, as he turns his head to where my eyes are drawn.
“Yeah, she's a hot chick, alright.”
He says with a chuckle as I reply.
“Mmmmm, she's my new designer.”
I still can't take my eyes off her fuck; she looks good.
Ben laughs as he says.
“Are you going to introduce us?.
“Not a fucking chance.”
I reply as Ben laughs as he looks at me. He raises his eyebrows as he says
“Is that because Zacs got the hots for his sexy new designer.”
I watch as they start walking towards us, Ellie is looking a little drunk, laughing as she talks to Erin. Erin spots us at the bar as she makes her way over to us. Ellie looks at me with a shy smile, and I watch as she slides onto the barstool next to me, giving me a glimpse of those long sexy legs.
Fuck!
I buy them both another drink and a whisky for myself and Ben, introducing them both to him. I laugh as Erin eyes him up. Leaning over to Ellie, I ask her if she has fun tonight. She smiles as she answers me.
“, Yes I am. It's been ages since I danced like this.”
Ben grins his eyes, not leaving Erin as he says.
“Nice moves, you got ladies.”
Erin answers him back before she drags him off to the dance floor. I look at Ellie as she blushes, and I lean in and whisper
“You look so sexy when you blush, Ellie.”
Watching as she picks her drink up with a shaky hand emptying the glass before placing it back down on the bar, her eyes going over to where Ben and Erin are now making out on the dancefloor.
“Would you like another drink, Ellie?”
I ask, leaning in so she can hear me, God she even smells good.
“Mmmm, yes, please.”
She answers me back with a hazy smile and a shaky breath. I lean over her to order our drinks. Ordering the drinks from the bartender, I place hers in front of her; I watch, mesmerised as a little drop lands on her bottom lip as she takes a sip before I realise what I'm doing. I brush my thumb over her bottom lip; damn, I want to kiss those plump lips so bad.
“You have such kissable lips, Ellie.”
I say as she shivers. I know she feels this attraction between us.
Ben comes back from the dancefloor, informing me he's taking Erin to another club. I raise my eyebrows, as I'm pretty sure he wants to take her home, especially after watching them grinding on the dancefloor. I promise Erin I will make sure Ellie gets home safely.
We have a couple more drinks as we talk, the conversation flows smoothly between us; even though Ellie seems a little shy and nervous around me, yet there is no awkwardness. I look down at our joined hands; when did that happen?. Never in my life have I held a woman's hand, but with Ellie, this just seems so right. She gives my hand a squeeze as she says.
“Excuse me. I need the ladies.”
Ellie slurs her words as she almost falls off the barstool. I grab her arm to stop her from falling before she staggers off to the bathroom.
Fuck she's wasted.
I watch as she disappears into the ladies toilets, never taking my eyes off her.
Damn, she is beautiful.......
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 8Zac's point of view.I'm sat at the bar waiting for Ellie to return, looking at my watch I realise she's been gone for twenty minutes, I can see the ladies toilets, from where I'm sitting, and I haven't taken my eyes off the door, so I know she's still in there. Knowing how drunk she was, I'm starting to feel a little worried as I shout my head waitress over."Tess, can you do me a favour and check the ladies for a redhead."Sh
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 9Ellie's point of view.I wake up the following morning, with a banging head as I vaguely remember some parts of the previous night; I know Zac was sitting on the floor with me in the ladies toilets, his gentle voice calming me as he stroked my hair, as he told me everything was going to be okay.He called me baby! He told me he was here for me.I don't remember much after that.
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 10Ellie's point of viewThe rest of Sunday passes by as I nurse my almighty hangover. I did have a shower and put my Winnie the pooh pyjamas on, which did make me feel somewhat better. I currently lay on my bed watching Netflix when Erin knocks on the door before peeping her head around it. She's grinning when she says to me.“Ellie, you have a visitor, hunni.”I frown as she walks over to the bed. I don't have any friends. No one would
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 11Ellie’s Point of viewIt's seven pm, and is Zac’s knocking on the apartment door. I open the door feeling the butterflies in my stomach as he looks at me and smiles as he says,“You, look beautiful Ellie.”He takes my hand in his as my heart skips a beat. Wow! What is it with this man? He leads me downstairs through the cafe and outside to where his Alfa Romeo 4C waits. I smile as he opens the door for me. He's a perfect gentleman, and it's been a long time since someone held a door open for me. I slide inside, sinking down into the luxurious leather seat before I turn to look at him as I
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 12Ellie’s point of viewI push myself towards Zac as I kiss him sweetly on his lips. Fuck he tastes so good. It sends a shiver down my spine and straight to my core.He smiles down at me as he returns the kiss, kissing me with more passion than I ever thought possible. I moan as I wrap my arms around his neck, the electricity building between us. Zac runs his hands up and down my spine, caressing my skin as he whispers into my ear.“Your so fucking beautiful, Ellie.”I love the way he says my name in that deep sexy voice of his. He gives
Butterfly and the CEOButterfly and the CEO.Chapter 13Zac’s point of view.I’m lying awake with Ellie still sleeping in my arms as I think back to last night and Ellie' s break down. When I walked into the ladies bathroom and saw her curled up in a ball on the floor, It broke me. I can't stand to see Ellie suffer like this. I knew something wasn't right with her by her reactions to people and the scars I saw on her wrist. I must admit I thought she was self-harming at first, but last nights break down proved different, and the scars that she bares me want to protect her more. How can anyone hurt her?She groans as she asks me why we're s
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 14Zac’s point of viewMonday morning arrives, and I'm at work before everyone else. Acting like that schoolboy as I check the time waiting for Ellie to arrive. I'm in the meeting room first when I realise I've left the folder that I need on my desk, shit I need it.Pulling the door of the meeting room open before I head to my office and Ellie comes flying through the room straight into my arms……Fuck….. What a way to start the day
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 15Zac’s point of view.I picked Ellie up at 6 pm before helping her into my car as we make the drive to my house. The conversation flows between us, and after a couple of hours, I'm pulling into the drive.I smile when I see the look on Ellie's face when she sees the house, I had the same reaction the first time I saw the place and made an offer on it the same day. I love this house. It's built from old stone and sits within its own grounds. It's peaceful here, away from the city.She gasps as she says.“Wow, Zac, it's beaut
