Chapter Twenty Four - A strange need...
Gabe
I know I seriously fucked up with Aubrey today, and I went too far. I should not have tried to hook up with her in her office because I wanted to try and make myself feel better. Yes, I have messed up with Aubrey a few times, but I don’t think she has ever seemed this mad at me. She had been giving me the cold shoulder all day! She only spoke to me if she needed to. There was no other talking, no smiling or laughing. Nothing! I am not sure I can sweet talk my way out of this one. I shouldn’t be letting this bother me as much as it is. It isn’t like she is my girlfriend. Can I even class us as friends? Either way, it shouldn’t be getting to me this much.
I had left the office a couple of hours before the others since I had things to do, not only that but also because I couldn’t handle Aubrey being off with me. And now I was at the last place I expected to

Aubrey It has been a few days since yet another bust-up with the boss, but he has been overly pleasant since then. Not only to me but to everyone, and I think they were all wondering what was going on with him. But I am sure they prefer Gabe being this way than a total dickhead!He and I had been spending nearly every night together outside of work. I mean hanging out, nothing more. We have dinner, chat, watch a movie, and then he leaves. I wasn’t sure what I thought about it all. We haven’t even had sex, and he hasn’t tried, neither have I. Things have turned a little strange, for sure, but we still seemed to be enjoying our time together.I was currently in my office doing some work. Gabe wasn’t in today, so it gave us all a chance to catch up with some other work other than the MV campaign. Gabe had meetings today, but he would be back tomorr
Clashing with the CEO Chapter Twenty Six - Curiosity
Gabe “Gabe, I need to get back to the office,” Aubrey giggled as I attacked her neck with kisses.“Call in sick,” I huffed.“Yes, because that wouldn’t look suspicious at all,” she laughed.It was true. Her lunch break was nearly over. I had to get back to my meetings, but I would rather stay in bed with Aubrey for the rest of the day.“Fine,” I pouted.I pecked her lips and removed myself from on top of her. Aubrey pulled herself out of bed to get herself cleaned up, not wanting to go back to work smelling of sex and shame. Not so much shame, but if anyone found out, there would be shame attached to it.“Are you just going to stay naked in my bed all day?”Aubrey chuckled as she came back through.
Clashing with the CEO Chapter Twenty Seven - This is a bad idea!
Aubrey Tonight was dinner with my cousin and husband. I was starting to regret asking Gabe to join me. This was a terrible idea! My cousin was a gossip. What if she mentions it to the rest of the family? How do I get myself out of this one? Maybe he shouldn’t come.I grabbed my phone and called him. He would be here in about an hour. It only rang a couple of times before he answered.“Hey, gorgeous,”“Hey, so I have been thinking. I don’t know if tonight is such a good idea,” I said softly.“How come?”“Because my cousin has a big mouth. She will end up telling the rest of the family, and then any family even they will expect me to show up with you,”“So, what is the problem?” he chuckled.&ldqu
Clashing with the CEO Chapter Twenty Eight - Pretending
Gabe I became a little nervous as our cab arrived at the restaurant, but I wasn’t going to show that to Aubrey because she was worried enough right now, without me adding to it. I paid the fare, and we got out of the cab to head inside. I slipped my arm around her waist. “You ready for this?” Aubrey asked. “Hell yeah,” I grinned. Her cousin Isabella and her husband Tobin were already here. We glanced around when we entered. Why I found the need to do so, I don’t know because I have no clue what they look like. “There they are,” she said. She nodded in the direction of where they were. I looked over and saw a well-dressed couple, her cousin was a pretty blonde woman, and her husband was a good-looking guy. They seemed to match well. Aubrey led us over to the table. “Aubrey!

AubreyGabe and I arrived at his. I was drunk! Isabella was the same. She was worse than me. We called it a night because she was sick. Up until then, it had been a good night, and we had arranged for us all to meet tomorrow for lunch before they go back home.“Do you have any drink in the house?” I asked.“I think you have had enough, babe,” he chuckled.“Why do you always call me that? I don’t know if you even realise that you are doing it?”“I had to play my part,” he replied.“But you have called me it multiple times before tonight,”I was curious, and because I was drunk, it made me more curious than usual.“Dunno,” he shrugged.“I d
Clashing with the CEO Chapter Thirty - Did I do the right thing?
Gabe I had been lying awake for the last half an hour, staring at my ceiling. Aubrey was sound asleep and snoring next to me. I wondered if what I said to her last night about officially dating was the right thing to do. Yes, I was a little drunk, but not wasted enough to blame what I said on my drunken ass. I turned my head to look at her and sighed. She was beautiful, and I liked her more than I should, more than I ever believed I would. But for us dating? Would that even work? I don’t know if working together and dating would be too much.Ahh, I don’t fucking know! I need to work it out, though. Aubrey may not even remember me suggesting it. She was way drunker than I was. She began to stir, so I swiftly diverted my attention away from her. I was expecting her to wake, but instead, she rolled into me and snuggled in. She wrapped her body around mine. I did plan on getting up
Clashing with the CEO Chapter Thirty One - I am an idiot!
Aubrey I don’t know why I got as pissed at Gabe as I did. I should have known he didn’t mean what he said last night. If he never opened his damn mouth, things would be different right now. I would still be in bed with him. I was up for trying to date, and I thought he was too, but now I wonder if this is still all a game to him? When did I even start liking him like this? I know I liked him a lot because if I didn’t, what happened at his wouldn’t be getting to me as much right now.I need a shower, coffee, and more sleep. The cab arrived at my place. I paid him and rushed inside. I stripped down and went straight for the shower. I switched it on and stepped into it. I rested my back on the wall and closed my eyes in the hope that the shower would wash my worries away. I ran my fingers through my hair over my face.We had such a good time last n
Clashing with the CEO Chapter Thirty Two - Lunch date
Gabe I was in a great mood as I made my way to the office. I usually hate Monday’s, but today I was feeling good after the weekend. I sure didn’t expect the weekend to go how it did. I am happy that I grew a pair and went after Aubrey.I came in early on purpose to see Aubrey because she left early this morning. I came with coffee. I knew she was here because she texted me to say. I smiled at everyone as I made my way through the building. They all seemed taken back with it but smiled back.I chuckled to myself and went in the direction of Aubrey’s office. I glanced in and made sure she was alone. I knocked lightly and waited for her to tell me to come. I grinned, opened the door and stepped into her office.“Good morning, beautiful,” I chirped.“Hey, handsome,” she beamed.
