Chapter 14
I glanced down the aisle with the ridiculous amount of choices, I thought about how this would be the first time I could afford to buy whatever I wanted. That I didn’t have to make my way to the public health clinic and ask for free supplies for those few days during each month. I let myself smile at the thought and then quickly glared at the amount of choices again.
“Well, I’ll be damned. I figured you would never leave that hellhole of town.” A nasally woman's voice said next time. I glanced up at her and looked around, it was only her and I in the aisle. I looked at the perfectly manicured woman in front of me, there was nothing out of place about her. There was not a hint of familiarity about her.
“I’m sorry, do I know you?” I asked, I was certain she had the wrong person.

“Make everyone scarce” Derek ordered at Michael, as we stepped off the elevator.Michael hurried off without a word, as I furrowed my brow.“That was rude.” I told him.Derek shot me a glare and nodded toward the kitchen. “Sit.”Refraining from rolling my eyes, I sat down without argument. I watched him in silence as he grabbed food out the fridge, throwing it into the microwave. He leaned against the counter, crossing his arms as he stared back.“Explain.” He said, setting the food in front of me with a loud bang. The noise made me flinch slightly. My stomach growled at the food

When I woke up the next morning, I was eager to start the day. I quickly got dressed and made my way to the kitchen, in hopes of talking to Derek. My disappointment was short lived when Linda and Natalie lingered there instead, their laughter carrying down the hall. “Oooo here comes the jailbird.” Natalie teased as I sat down. She set food in front of me as if she knew I was coming beforehand. I groaned at her joke while my stomach growled. “Please don’t call me that” I said as I started stuffing my face with the food. Linda giggled now. “In all seriousness, I think only you could go to the store and be falsely accused and then

I worked through the remaining tasks Brianne had given me yesterday without a second thought. Impatiently waiting for Derek to get back from his trip. I spent the majority of the day lost in made-up scenarios of what might happen when he arrived and the rest flashback to our very lengthy phone call.My cheeks remained flushed, and I was thankful I was able to work alone. Disappointment was hard to hide when I got up to the penthouse and he still wasn’t home. Instead, Linda stood leaning against the wall across from the elevator as if she was waiting for me.“Need something?” I asked as I tried to make my way to my room, but she quickly stepped in front of me.“I have been instructed to get you glammed up for dinner” She replied, a faint smile on her lips.

Pride. Disappointment. I don't know which one led me to avoid Derek the next day. I think it was a mixture of both. My effort was meaningless, considering it seemed like he was avoiding me as well. I dared a glance into the library as I walked by, and he wasn’t at his desk. I pursed my lips and made a quiet round around the penthouse and didn’t find him anymore. When I was done, I flinched at myself realizing how pathetic that seemed. I was actively seeking someone out for a mere glance. Someone who had left me for the night without any type of explanation. It didn’t stop me from smiling like an idiot when Linda came up to ask me about the date though. “Oh lord, please stop. I don’t want to hear about him like that.” She laughs, putting her hands on h

My back slammed against the door and I let out a gasp. I turned my face away and reached down to turn the handle for us. Derek moved his hands slowly up and I slid down the door to drop to my feet. As the door swung open, I stepped backward into his room, not dropping his stare. Derek matched my steps, unbuttoning his shirt as I unbuttoned mine. I shrugged mine off, leaving me in my bra as his gaze dropped to the black lace cups that pushed tightly against my body. His eyes went back to mine as he tossed his shirt onto the floor and reached for his buckle. I stepped in front of him, grabbing his hands and pushing them away. I pulled his belt off and threw it onto the bed near us, he glanced at it briefly before I kissed his chest, above his nipple and his attention was back on me. As I con

I felt his fingers tracing designs on my hip and I opened my eyes to lock with his.“Good morning, beautiful” He smiled, pressing a soft kiss on my lips.“You’re still here…” I breathed, cupping his face with one hand, my thumb traced his lower lip.Derek kissed my thumb, then grabbed my face bringing it forward for a harsher kiss.“Where else would I be?”I didn’t answer and we just laid staring at each other for awhile before my stomach rudely growled. He chuckled, moving his hand to rub it. The motion made me tense, uncomfortable with how intimate it felt. Brushing a small kiss on my stomach, Derek sighed and got off the bed.

“This is the budget, the list of everything you need to plan and order.” Linda dropped a giant black binder on the counter.I groaned, dropping my bagel onto the plate and shifting through a few pages. “What is this for again?”Natalie snickered behind us in the kitchen. She knew and I knew exactly what it was for because Linda has been stressing over it for the last week.“The Charity Ball” she replied, her tone full of ice. “He might allow you to slack off, but I'm drowning.”I sent a wicked smile to Natalie and turned back to Linda. “Of course. I’m sorry. I’m such a horrible assistant. How can I help you today?”Sh

“You look lost”I turned toward a woman leaning against the side of the lockers of the bus station. Her purple hair stood out against her pale skin, the dark jeans showed off her curves while the cream sweater and black leather jacket hid her upper body. She had an expression of boredom but her blue eyes held a hint of amusement.“The question is do you want to be found?”I stared at her for a few seconds and shook my head. I had found a taxi that was off duty and I slid in the back without question. When the old man turned around to yell at me, I bursted out in tears again. He was kind enough to take me to the nearest bus station. He was even kind enough to hand me a bag as my stomach lurched to empty its contents again. I’m sure my red puffy face
