I got back to my desk as soon as I finished taking care of the meeting room. I'm starting to feel a bit scared, to be honest. I think I might have pushed Gavin to his limit. I know he's my boyfriend and all that but, he is still my boss and our relationship is still new so maybe it was a wrong move to take the elevator without him. I sat on my chair for a moment, contemplating whether I should go and apologize to Gavin then my phone started ringing, it was Gavin. I took a deep breath and then answered the call. "Hello?" I asked and immediately he answered. "Where are you, Cath?" He asked me, still in a serious tone. "I'm at my desk. Still finishing something. Will go there as soon as I'm done." I replied to him, trying to stall for time. "It's afternoon break already." He replied and I knew I had no way out. "Okay. Be right there. Just one moment. Bye." I said to him. "Make it fast." He said to me then ended the call. I think I really am in so much trouble. With lots of doub
Gavin heard my slight sobs and his face immediately showed concern and worry. He caressed my face with both his hand and started wiping the tears away. "Why are you crying, love?" He asked me and I just shook my head. "It's nothing. Just got some dust in my eyes." I said to him as I rubbed my eyes, stopping myself from crying. I looked away from him, but Gavin cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to look back at him with my tear-stained face. "You're upset about something?" He asked me, but I just forced a smile, not wanting him to dig any deeper. "I see." He said, wiping the remaining tears away. He looked at me with passion and warmth while I stare back at him with guilt and worry. "Listen, love. I know you're dealing with something right now, I understand. You don't have to tell me anything right now. Tell me everything about it when you're ready. It's okay, no need to feel worried or guilty about it." He said to me before pulling me into a hug. I felt Gavin stroking my bac
I woke up and I was sore all over. It was a crazy night and as Gavin wanted, because I'm never gonna admitted that I craved it too, we had round two just as we got home. Was it really normal to last that long in bed? Luckily, it is already Saturday and I don't have to get out of bed. So, I just stayed in bed as long as I wanted. "Good morning, love." I heard Gavin's voice say as the door of the bedroom opened. "Umm." I just mumbled at him as I cuddled more into bed with my eyes closed. I felt a sudden shift of weight in the bed and the smell of waffles and bacon zoomed in my nose waking me up in an instant. "Bacon." I exclaimed as I sat up from bed. "I figured you're too sore to get out of bed." He said to me with a proud smile on his face. "You cooked? And it's not burned?" I asked, he was about to answer when a head suddenly popped out of the door. "He wouldn't stop calling me at six in the morning. He practical beg me to come here and cook breakfast for you, now I know why.
I was a bit nervous at first, but it wasn't long before I felt a bit comfortable with them. Both his parents were attentive and very warm towards me. We were waiting in the room that they were dancing in for the dinner to be served. "So, since when have you two been together?" Aunty Margo asked that really got me worried, does she thinks that I was lying when they interviewed me about the issue before? "When the issue about the videos was released, we weren't really together." I explained to her defensively, but unlike what I imagined, Aunty Margo just let out an elegant laughter. "Relax Cath, that issue has already been cleared up, remember?"She said to me that somehow made me a bit at ease. "It's only been a bit over a month since we started dating, mom. And stop making my girlfriend so anxious, she's still not used to seeing you outside the office." Gavin said answering his mom that made her smile wider. "So, I'm guessing, you're the one whole fell head over heels for her, Gav?
Andrea just sat there on the couch for a couple more minutes as I try my best to calm her down, but her sobs won't stop. I went back to the kitchen and got her one more glass of water. I got back to the couch and she was still unresponsive to anything that I asked her. "Dre, please. I can't help you if I don't know what's going on. I need you to tell me exactly what happened to you." I said to her as I stroked her back. I felt her become less tense as I continued rubbing her back. She then got her sobs under control but then cupped her face in her palms still in distress. I waited for her to say something but she just sat there with her head hung low. I was about to ask her again when I saw her take a deep breath and muttered something in a whisper. "What?" I asked her again, not able to catch anything that she said. She raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes are full of fear and confusion, she took another deep breath and she finally let it out. "I'm pregnant, Cath." She admit
"Do you think Andrea's gonna be fine?" Gavin asked as he was watching me cook our breakfast while Gabby, Andrea, and Zab are still sleeping in the bedroom. "She'll be alright. I'm not worried one bit." I told him with a smile as I fried some bacon and eggs. "You two seem to know each other very well." He added as he took one piece of bacon. "Stop taking the bacon." I said as I slapped his hand and took the plate away before he could finish the whole thing. He just started rubbing the back of his hand and let out a chuckle. "We've been friends since high school and I know that she'll get through it. Besides, I'll always be there for her." I said to him as I finished cooking breakfast. I turned off the stove took all the plates of food and placed them on the table. "I counted the pieces of bacon. Don't start eating! I'll wake them up." I said to him before I turn my back to the table and went inside the bedroom to wake up the girls. I insisted that they take my bed while me and Ga
The weekend went by and I could say that I had a very productive weekend. Even with all of the distractions, mainly named Gavin Mitchel, we finished painting the interior of the apartment and we even had the chance to do the tile work in the kitchen and it turned out great. "Gavin! You need to wake up, or we are gonna be late." I said to him as I try shaking him while he was still laying on the bed in deep sleep. "Umm." He groaned and just changed his position on the bed, turning his back on me. "Hey! You need to wake up. If I finished showering and you're not up, I'm gonna throw water on you." I said to him and went immediately to my bathroom. I played some music and put the volume on full blast before I took off all my clothes and started my morning shower. I was in the middle of scrubbing when I suddenly felt someone hug me from behind. "I'm not the only one who's awake." He whispered to me as the water continued running down our bodies. This man is really gonna be the death of
"You seem a bit off today, love." Gavin suddenly said as we were having our lunch in his office. I must admit it feels a bit lighter to be hiding our relationship in the office, but we still have to be careful not to be very showy. "I'm fine." I said to him as I continued eating my food in peace. "Does this have anything to do with the new girl?" He suddenly asked out of the blue. "What do you mean?" I asked him, and I also felt my voice rising a bit. He laughed at my reaction and that just made my blood boil even more. "What so funny, Gavin?" I asked him, putting down my spoon and fork on the table, and just stared at him, waiting for his answer, but he just continued laughing. I was so pissed off that I stood up from my seat but before I could even take a step away from him, Gavin already held my wrist and pulled me back down beside him. "So it does have something to do with her." He mumbled as he maintained a tight grip on my wrist. "I don't know what you're talking about."
