The music ended not quite long after, and the lights came back on. The MC called for donations, and one after the other, everyone went to the stage to drop theirs. Some dropped new dollar notes, others dropped cheques and some sent them to the host's account. Perry made his donation and made another on behalf of his father, and returned his seat after he was given a thunderous clap. "Should we stay a little longer or would you like for us to take our leave now?" He asked Autumn as soon as he returned to their table. Autumn looked around to see if other people had started leaving, but she noticed that most of them were all seated and still enjoying the ball. She looked back at him, "Uhm, I don't think it'd be right for us to leave when others are still present." "Who cares?" He replied. "Besides, someone has to leave first to give others the courage to leave. And we don't have anything to do here anymore. I've done all I want to, and from the expression on your face, you l
"Aren't you gonna ask?" "I asked already. It's your choice to give me answers whenever you're ready," she simply responded, then stood up to switch on the tv again. She didn't want the situation to turn awkward between them, so she felt switching on the tv would make it less awkward. "She was my first and only love," he started, and Autumn remained glued to the spot she was. She didn't know if to go ahead and switch on the tv or return to her seat or listen to him. "She was everything I wanted in a woman," he continued. "Every time I set my eyes on her, it was always a new feeling I felt. I fell in love with her every day." Autumn scoffed lightly, as she felt a pang of pain in her chest that left as quickly as it came. "Come and have your seat. Standing there will only make things weird," Perry said as he watched her standing, her back to him. Without saying anything, she turned around and returned to her seat. "Can I go on now?" "Yeah." "I met her a year before gradu
"Autumn? Is everything okay?" Jax said from the other side of the phone as he heard her moan. "Uh, yeah. I'm good," she managed to reply as she moaned softly to the feeling of his lips on her nipples. "Okay," Jax responded, not fully convinced by her reply, but he didn't ask any further since he had no business with it. "Why'd you call? It's very late in… Mmmm…" she moaned again, as Perry moved from sucking her right breast to the other one. "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah," she replied curtly, getting a hold of herself once again. "I'm sort of busy at the moment, can you call back?" She added sharply. "It isn't something that'll take time. I only wanted to get Olive's phone number from you." "Just get it from Lisa already. I… ugh…" she cried out softly as his hand slowly descended to her covered pussy and he gently rubbed. "Autumn, are you sure you're—" "I'll call back," she hung up the call and dropped the phone on the couch. Perry raised his hand from under her
Autumn was the first to wake up the next morning. Turning on the bed, she opened one eye, before opening the other. She yawned and stretched as she sat up on the bed, laying down beside her was Perry, who had his back to her. It seemed like a Deja Vu, but this time, the guy next to her wasn't a random guy, but someone she knew so well. Instantly, the memories of last night went through her head and her eyes went wide open in shock. She sat on the bed as she loomed around the room. Only then did she notice that she was in his room and had slept there all through the night. "Oh my God," she gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. She stood up from the bed gently, careful enough not to wake him up from his deep sleep. She picked up her top on the floor and her shorts, then she dashed out of the room as quietly as possible, closing the door behind her. She hurried to her room to have her bath and freshen up before he woke up. When she was done, she went down to the kit
"...Yet, we have sex like it's something a boss and secretary should do! Then, the next morning, you act as if nothing happened!" "Then, fucking ask me questions and for once, listen to me!" "Oh? Then tell me, why do you keep—" "Because I fucking love you!" There was a pause, as both of them stared at each other with deadly eyes that turned soft almost after Perry said those words. Autumn waited for him to say it was a mistake, but after about a minute and nothing was said, she decided to ask him, to make sure she heard him right. "Excuse me?" She said with raised eyebrows, her voice calmer than before. "You heard me right, why are you acting like you didn't?" He responded and scoffed, then looked away. "And we're there again. It's always this stupid back and forth!" She banged her hand on a nearby couch. "You never want to explain yourself and you just leave the other person confused." "What is so confusing about me telling you that I love you?" He asked and got up f
A couple of days later and they indeed started an actual relationship. They decided to take things slow, and see if it would work out. Gladly, it had been going well, and their relationship had grown stronger. Autumn managed to convince Perry to start having lunch in the company's cafeteria, especially with the fact that since the retreat, many of his workers now saw him in a new light. They didn't see him as their tyrant boss anymore, and he was also not as cold as he used to be. His sudden action to start eating in the cafeteria shocked everyone, but he knew better. Autumn typed the article Perry had sent to her on the phone before leaving for a meeting, on her desktop. She was so engrossed in it that she had no idea when her office door opened and someone walked in. The sound of the heels as it got clearer and clearer with each step the person took, made her attention divert from the desktop to the person. As she raised her head to see who it was, a frown crept on her fa
Autumn scoffed as she watched his door. "He has the guts to let her in?" Not only was she furious, but she was also hurt that Perry let her in. "He had better be ready to tell me what was so important that she had to say, to have made him allow her in." She turned and sat on her chair to continue what she was doing, though her mind was somewhere else. "Have your seat," Perry offered Gloria a seat opposite him, then he walked to his chair to sit too. "So?" He raised an eyebrow at her, expecting her to tell him what she came to see him for. She smiled and folded her arms, staring at him intently. "You haven't changed at all, and I've missed you so much," she started. "I can also tell from your countenance whenever I'm around, that—" "Spare me the long talk, Gloria," he responded, looking uninterested in her speech in every way. "Why are you here?" Gloria scoffed. "Why are you suddenly acting up, uh? Look, I know you better than anyone and I can see right through you. So what'
"If there's nothing more for you to say, you can use the door," he pointed to his door, then picked up a file on his table and began to go through it. "Hmm," Gloria said and smiled broadly. "I wonder how your wife would react when she hears about this." "About what?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "That you came to visit me at my office?" He chuckled lightly. "She'd be just fine with it. She's not as problematic and bitchy as you, you know?" She stared at him in confusion, unsure of why he used such words to describe her. "What the heck?" "I'm aware of how you crossed her in the bathroom at the ball and tried to turn her against me." He stared at her intently as he recalled every detail of what happened between her and Autumn in the bathroom that night, just as Autumn had explained to him. "Be careful what you say to my woman whenever you come across her if you don't want me to get rid of you," he threatened with a commanding voice. He expected Gloria to probably feel bad
