After causing a big scene in the office, Kacey was the center of gossip for the rest of the day. I didn't even have a chance to talk to Gavin after it happened. Gavin ordered food for everyone in our office but he didn't leave his office after the scene with Kacey. "Cath, I told Xander to meet me for dinner at six o'clock." Andrea said, suddenly appearing from behind me. I looked at the clock and it was almost four o'clock. I looked around the office and saw that there were only a handful of people left. "Yeah. Dre, is it okay if I meet you there?" I asked her, I'm kinda worried about Gavin and I want to make sure that he's okay before going to dinner with Andrea and Xander. "Of course, Cath. That's fine. I guess I'll go first, I have to get ready. I'll call you, okay?" Andrea said to me and I just nodded at her. She then left the office and once I was sure that I was alone I saved everything and got my things to go fetch my boyfriend from the confinements of his office. I saw Kyl
My body stopped moving as Xander asked Andrea the question that none of us really expected to hear that night as he got done on one knee. I looked at Andrea curiously and after a few seconds of staring at Xander, her eyes finally started to wander around. He caught me staring at her, looking for answers but I just shook my shoulders not knowing what to do with the situation. Finally, Andrea snapped out of her daze and started pulling Xander up to his feet. "Get up, Xander. Please." He whisper-shout at him while pulling his arm. I guess he noticed the panic in her actions because he stood up and sat back down on his chair. Me and Andrea both looked around and saw that not a lot of people were looking at our table and I saw Andrea drew a breath of relief as she focus her attention back at our table. "What's going on, Andrea?" Xander asked as soon as his eyes met hers. "Xander, no offense but I don't want to get married." Andrea answered her at had both me and Xander shocked. I looke
I still don't know what to make of the message I received last week. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, so I didn't tell anyone about it. I guess it was a good thing that I didn't tell anyone about it cause nothing followed after the first message. "Cath, about the script for the new volume, I'm kinda having a hard time connecting the plot of this to the last one." Janice opened up as we were having a team meeting for the new volume of one of our comics. "Send me a copy and I'll see what I can do." I told her and she nodded. "Anyway, if we don't have any concerns, I think we're all good." And I ended the meeting with the agreement of everybody. I went back to my desk and dropped off all my things, grabbing my wallet and phone before going to Gavin's office. We agreed to have lunch together today and because Andrea already had plans with Xander, we decided to go out for lunch. "Hi, Cath. Going out for lunch?" Kyla asked me as I walked by her desk. "Yeah. Have you had lunch?
"Why are you doing this Kacey?" I asked her before she could leave the office. She stopped at her track and then turn around to face me. "Because he's mine." She replied. "No, he's not. You lost him when you cheated." I said to her and she simply smirked at me. She then started walking back toward me, I was intimidated but I stood my ground. "I would never let anyone take away what's mine. Yeah. I cheated on him but that doesn't mean that I would let go of someone who can give me everything that I wanted in life." She replied. "Money, power, and everything that goes with being privileged." She said then turned her back on me and left me, alone in Gavin's office. So that's all that Gavin is to her. Someone that could pull her up the food chain. I felt angry, infuriated, but then guilt and worry washed over me. Can I judge her for lying to him, when I also lied? Am I even worthy of his love or his forgiveness? He's been through a lot and I added more to that. My knees buckled and
"What do you mean you can't?" Gabby asked confused at my answer. "I can't face him. I don't even know if I deserve him anymore, Gab. I've already hurt him. I doubt that he'd want anything to do with me after what happened." I explained to her as I sob through the pillow. "He'd want you back if you'd just explain to him as you did to me." She said, pulling me up and having me face her. "I love him, Gab. I do. I just can't see him right now. I don't think I can handle it if he rejects me after I explain to him." I said to her, giving her a faint smile. "Cath." I heard Andrea say. "You both deserve each other. Are you gonna let fear take him away?" I turned to her and smiled as best as I could. "Who knows, maybe I'll wake up one day and have enough courage to face him, I just know that it's not today." I said to her. "This is all my fault. If I just..." Zab started and I couldn't bear my sister blaming herself for my decisions, so I turned to her before she could even finish her s
He lifted me and placed me on top of his desk as my bags slipped from my grasp. I felt him searching with his hands behind me as our steamy kiss continued. He then found what he was looking for and after a few seconds, the lights inside the office turned off and his curtains automatically closed.I then felt his hands on my legs, he hooked my legs on his waist and easily lifted me off of his desk, and carried me back to the couch. He sat down positioning me on his lap as he held my face in place while deepening our kiss even more.I pulled away after a couple of minutes and gasped for air as his kisses started going down my neck. I couldn't help but moan in pleasure as he started licking and slight sucking and nipping at my neck. I felt him smile every time a moan left my mouth."Gav." I manage to say breathlessly as his hands started untucking my shirt from my skirt. His hands then went under my shirt, unclasping my bra, giving himself better access to everything I have upfront as I
Me and Gavin pulled into our office's parking lot and started transferring all of our groceries to his car. After a couple of minutes, my phone started ringing and it was Zab. "I'm already at the lobby." She said as soon as I answered. "Take the elevator and go down to the basement parking. We're already here." I said to her. "Okay. Thanks." She said then hung up the phone. A few more minutes passed and we finally heard the sound of the elevator opening on our floor. Zab immediately head for us as soon as she saw us. "Glad you two made up." She said as soon as she got closer. "Thank you for talking to him, even though I told you not to." I said to her with a slight eye roll. "No problem. I wouldn't be a proper younger sister if I didn't go against your wishes, right." She said to me and we both just laughed at her remark. "Whatever, Zab. Here." I said to her, handing her the keys to my car. "Thanks, Zoe. You're really a lifesaver. I love you!" She exclaimed as she took the ke
"Where are you?" I asked Charlie immediately as I got up from the table. "St. Agnes General. I'm sorry Zoe. I'm really sorry." Charlie answered as he sobbed in the other line. "Stop crying, Charlie. Pull yourself together. Stay with Zab and listen to her doctor, okay? Wait for me there." I said to him, I heard him mumble a yes and then I ended the call with tears forming in my eyes. "What is it, love?" Gavin asked as he held my arm, stopping me from leaving the table. "Zab's in the hospital. She's been in an accident." I answered him before turning to the startled couple in front of us. "I'm really sorry about this, but I really need to o." "We're coming with you." Ruby said standing up from her seat and grabbing her bag. "What are you boys waiting for? Let's go." She said snapping the two out of their shock. All four of us then hurried out of the apartment and into our cars and before I knew it we were already speeding off to the hospital that Charlie said. "Why won't they pick
