Chapter 7 (Rachel's POV)
I woke up with a massive headache and a huge hole in my memory.
I had no idea how I got to the bed.Or when.It was all a huge blur.All I could remember was that I had an interview yesterday in the afternoon and that it was a disaster.I had no idea how they knew about what happened in my former company, but it was obvious they knew it all.Well they knew what Mr. Dickson told them at least. But they didn't want to hear even a word of my side of the story.But right now it was too early to think about those things.And my head protested as it was, without me trying to understand some assholes.I moved to the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee and prayed it would help me with my headache.Once I finally sat down with coffee in front of me, it didn't even smell right to me anymore.I was just thinking where I'd put my painkillers when I heard a door being opened down the hall."Long night roomie?"Well of course it was Mason who else could it be since we lived alone in this house.But why in the hell was he shouting?First of all it was pretty early in the morning for a sunday. And second, myhead was killing me!"Can you please not shout?"He just chuckled at my question and I turned back to the counter.I think I should at least try drinking my coffee.It might get better after the first sip.Suddenly two pills were dropped in front of me and a glass of water followed soon after.I lifted my head to find Mason standing in front of me with a soft smile firmly on his face.I wanted to ask him why he was so kind to me but I didn' get a chance.Let's blame my slowness on the fact I was hungover right now.Damn you tequila, I thought we were friends."Take those and go back to bed for a few more hours. And I promise to not be a prick today. But tomorrow when you're back to nirmal all bets are off."With those words he went back to his room and I was left alone in the kitchen thinking to myself in what universe did I wake up?I shook those thoughts away and took both pills that Mason brought me and after a few minutes I finally felt like I could drink the coffee without throwing up.I made sure to clean after myself and started preparing for lunch.I know it's early to do so at 10am, but I wanted to make a homemade soup and some roast with vegetables and potatoes. And those things needed a few hours to be done.After I was done and everything was cooking or baking I went to my kitchen to retrieve my laptop and got comfortable in the living room.I started sending out my CV to any company I could remember.I wasn't going down without a fight.I needed to find a job.But also I had to find out what that asshole of my former boss did. How could every person in London know about things happening in that company?It was supposed to be private knowledge.But to me it looked like they were going against workers rights in this case.Time to get to the bottom of this stinky issue.****************I think I did what I could.I've sent a job application to at least 50 companies in London.
But I also had to be careful that the company wasn't too far from where I was looking for apartments.
A beeping sound disrupted my thoughts.
Right!
Lunch!
I left my laptop in the living room and went to prepare everything in the kitchen.
Once I set the table I went in search of Mason.
The last I saw him he went into his room, but I was also completely lost in my work so I could overlook him passing by me. Who knows.
But it looked like me and good luck were finally getting along again.
For now.
Mason was in his room typing away furiously.
I knocked even though his door was open, after all I didn't want to scare him.
"Hey Mason. Would you join me for lunch maybe? I made enough for both of us?"
He stopped in his work and slowly turned to look at me.
"Do you think I can't cook?"
I was shocked.
Like what the fuck?
"Uhm no. I actually know you are a pretty good cook. I just wanted to say thank you for this morning."
He looked at me with a bored expression on his face.
"What? Because I brought you some pain killers, you suddenly want to be friends? Should we also gossip after dinner? Share secrets? Braid each other's hair? No thank you. I'll pass."
I was just standing there and staring like an idiot.
"You know what? Forgot I asked you? And by the way go to hell. I was trying to be nice so it would be easier for us to coexist but it seems like you can't get your head out of your ass. Idot!"
With those words I stomped away back into the kitchen.
But just at the last second I heard him say:
"Thank you for the compliment. But you are not the first person to tell me that."
I swear a bit of bitterness could be heard in his words.
But I was too pissed to give it any thought. I just wanted to prepare some lunch for myself and eat it in the quiet of my room.
What an idiot.
And here I was trying just to be nice.
Never again.
That's for sure.
Chapter 8 (Mason's POV)Yeah ok I was being a dick.But I don't care.It was better this way.I needed to make it clear we were still enemies.Well not really enemies but we did still hate each other.Also I needed to make sure she wouldn't suspect me of doing anything considering her job.First of all it was clear as day that what I was doing was illegal and I could go to prison for hacking into their documents.Especially since her boss was an asshole for smaller things.And if he ever finds out what I did he would make sure I pay for everything.And I had a suspicion my consequences would be far worse than they were for Rachel and every woman that was in that company before her.So back to the topic at hand.It was really important that no one knew about what I was doing.Also I didn't want her to think I developed any feelings towards her and that it was the reason behind my secret operation.Damn it,. That sounds so lame.Let's find a better name for my operation as I call it.Op
Chapter 9 (Rachel's POV)Expression on Mason's face when I told him I got an interview in his company was priceless.I wish I had my phone with me so I could take a picture.Anytime I would feel bad or had a bad day I would just look at that picture and my day would be brighter.But either way. I won't forget that expression any time soon.But what bugged me was the fact I couldn't remember sending an email to a company with that name.Ah who cares.I probably wasn't paying enough attention.But what matters is the fact I got the interview.Now I only have to do good tomorrow and cross my fingers that they give me a chance.As long as they didn't ask about my previous work experiences I was safe.But first things first.I had to find something suitable to wear to my interview.I was halfway through everything I had in the closet when I suddenly came across the perfect combination.It was my best pair of jeans that fit my body like a glove.It was plain jeans, but when you take a close
Chapter 10 (Mason's POV) I was on my way home from work. It's been a day full of surprises for sure. First, some asshole tried to hack into our system so we had to block his attempts, the coffee machine broke down, so we had to make it the old fashioned way. But surprise, surprise. There was no coffee in the whole building because no one made it anymore. It's been years since someone last used the kitchen we had in our company. But the good thing is I survived and was done for today. Now my head was full of thoughts about Rachel. How did her interview go? I wasn't sure if I wanted it to go good or bad. On one hand, I really wanted her to get a job. Not just because she would move out but because she deserved it. Her last boss was a total asshole that only saw her outside but didn't care about her smartness or drive. But on the other hand I wanted her to fail. After all she had an interview in my company, and if she got the job, that would mean, when she moves out, I woul
Chapter 11 (Rachel's POV)When I came home earlier I was so full of positive energy that I had to do something with it.So I cleaned the house, cooked dinner, and made dessert.I did it all in a blink of an eye.Now that I was waiting for Mason to emerge from the shower I had nothing to do, somI thought to myself, why not.Let's get a bit dolled up.I hurried into my room and for the second time in a span of 24 hours started digging in my closet for something nice.For a change, today's evening was pretty warm.So I decided on a nice blue summer dress with green stripes.It reached my mid thighs, was strapless and allowed almost no cleavage to be displayed. But the back was another story. It had a low cut that reached almost all the way down to my ass.Now this I call fancy but still casually.I paired my outfit with nice blue flats and fixed my make up a little.Now I guess I was ready.I came out of my room and spotted Mason right away.He was bent over the kitchen counter trying
Chapter 12 (Mason's POV)I woke up the same as I did in the past few days.But something was definitely different.There was a warm body wrapped around me.I didn't want to open my eyes and ruin the spell or dreams I was having.Whatever it was, it felt too good to be over.At the moment I had no idea who it was, I just hoped it was Rachel like in all of my dreams lately.One leg was wrapped around my waist and so was one arm. But the problem is that her leg was pressed directly onto my crotch. Her middle was pressed into my side but I could feel her warmness and if my imagination didn't lie to me there was also some wetness.I tried to move but each movement caused friction and made my hard on even more painful.So instead of moving my body I only moved my hand.At the moment it was resting on her ass so I decided to do some exploring first.In none of my dreams so far I had a chance to explore her body, so I used today's dream while I could.I moved first upwards, moving first to he
Chapter 13 (Rachel's POV)Well good morning for the second time in one day.I must admit the first time I woke up was more pleasant though.Feeling Mason's hands all over my body felt amazing.I have no idea what came over me, but I didn't want to push him away. It was probably because I was just to horny at this point.And since our rooms were situated across from each other there was no way I would even try to pleasure myself.This house had thin walls!So here I was, finally at least a bit satisfied and in a good mood.I remembered what day it was today and why my alarm clock woke me up.As I looked at it, it was already 7am, so I got showered and ready as fast as I could. To my surprise it only took me 15minutes.Since Mason escaped my room after our morning sexy session I went in search of him.Since we are going to the same company, we could go together.But as I came to the kitchen I was surprised to find it empty.Weird.I tried calling him but got no answer.What the hell?
Chapter 14 (Mason's POV)Do you ever wonder how it is to be locked up?Well let me tell you from my experience it's no fun at all.It has only been three days but I am getting bored already.All I want to do is go out and talk toRachel, admit everything to her and just accept my punishment.But I guess I'm still too much of a coward.So I wait every night for her to retreat to her room and once I am sure she is asleep, then I move to restock my food and energy supplies.Since I don't have much to do in my room, either I work out, play games, or I am cleaning.Yes, I am cleaning my room.So what? Not every guy is a pig when it comes to his room.But it is starting to get boring.I think even my best friend is getting sick of me moaning about the situation.But who can blame him.Since I have nothing to do, I bug him all day long.And I mean it literally.I check in with him in the morning, to see what he is up to, if there is anything new in our company and if our game is progressing
Chapter 15 (Rachel's POV)I was just about to go back to my room when I heard Mason and Brandon talking.So I eavesdropped a little."I know you said your roomie is hot, but you didn't say she was Rachel. Because let's be honest she is drop dead gorgeous." I had to chuckle at Brandon. He was so adorable sometimes. But you could see it in his eyes, he loved his wife. Sure he would give you a once over but that was it. And let me tell you, finding a guy like him was a real lottery ticket these days.Someone who only had eyes for you and no matter how hard it became he stood by your side proudly.I hope his kind is not extinct already.I need a man like that in my life."Don't make me tell on you to your wife Brandon.""Asshole. I didn't mean it like that. You know I love my wife, but it doesn't mean I am blind. But I will tell you this only once. Get things right with her. She is a good woman."See? Told you he loves his wife and her alone.But one thing didn't want to leave my mind.So
