Chapter 4 (Aron's POV)
You see, most days being me is not too bad.But some days it's pure hell.Well today was one of those days.Rachel had her day off, because she was preparing her wedding, and I was stuck with a phone that was ringing every 5 seconds.And I am not even exaggerating.At this pace I wouldn't manage to get a simple check up with my programmers.And that was something that I could not afford.So I quickly pulled out my phone and called Rachel.Yes I did feel like a douchebag for doing it while she had her day off but I needed her help like yesterday.She picked up the call after only 2 rings."Hey boss man. Is it an emergency? I can be there in 15."A soft smile pushed its way on my lips.It was the first one today.Rachel really was one of a kind and I doubt I'd ever find a better assistant."No, no, don't stress. But I do have a question for you."I paused to hear her reaction first but she surChapter 5 (Becky's POV)Ok.I might have gotten myself into a huge mess.And there was no way out of it.When Rachel suggested I would be her replacement until after her honeymoon I agreed gladly, because let's face it, I need a job and something to get my mind off everything that's going on.But when Rachel described her boss I had this picture of an old round guy with an always happy face.Wroooong!Aron was not old at all, probably just a few years older than me, and ladies, he is one hot male specimen.Tall with light brown hair that almost looks blond, eyes that are neither brown nor green but something between those colors.Muscles that even his jeans and a button down shirt can't hide, and a smile to make a lady drop her panties right away.Thank God I am not wearing them.Call it professional deformation.You see, if I wasn't shooting for lingerie, panty lines wer
Chapter 6 (Aron's POV)Let me tell you a secret.I am an idiot.Yeah, yeah I know it's not really a secret but don't crush my ego right away ok?Everything was perfect until I had to open my mouth and ask Becky about her life.Like it's not obvious she would ask back the same question, if nothing more, just to be polite.And so here I am.Walking ahead of her, pissed as all hell.Not at her, I am angry with myself.Because believe it or not, just for once I want to be just me.Aron McNamara.Not the owner of Code heck, not the poor guy that his own mother abandoned, not a man with high iq.Just my usual self.Like I was a few years ago when I just started building my company. Back then I was just one of many hackers that enjoyed his job.Don't get me wrong, I still love my job, but not the part with papers.That's why I hired Rachel in the first place.She didn't care how much money I had in my account, she didn't
Chapter 7 (Becky's POV)I know it's not ladylike to laugh like a maniac, but I can't help it.Vicky's words keep ringing in my head and each time I look at Aron's face the laughter just comes again.She actually thought that someone like Aron would fall for a girl like me.Let's be honest.My life was in ruins at the moment.And first of all, I had to learn to love myself again.This person I've become is just not me.I wanted to be the easy-going cheerful me again.And I was shocked once I realized I was all these things right now.I was happy, laughing out loud, and not thinking about the facts of who might be sitting at the table nearby.I was just enjoying a simple lunch break with my boss and his friend.I decided it was time to introduce myself as well.So I extended my hand in Vicky's direction before I spoke."Hei. My name is Rebecka, but everyone calls me Becky. And Aron really is just my boss. But I will admit, I
Chapter 8 (Aron's POV)Surprisingly lunch wasn't as painful as I thought.They did torture me with all kinds of embarrassing memories from my early years, but it was fun. Even if that fun was at my expense.Now I was sitting in my office again but couldn't get the beauty that was sitting in front of it out of my head.All I could think about ever since we returned from lunch, was how her hand accidentally brushed against mine from time to time. How our knees were touching all the time.How her laugh made me feel lighter and happier than I was in years.How her eyes sparkled with mischief when she was taunting me with the knowledge of my little secret.She really was something special.And I was starting to get scared of that fact.Because if I wouldn't trade my way around her carefully, I could easily fall for her.Hard and fast.And love or falling for someone was something that simply wasn't in my cards.When you love someone th
Chapter 9 (Becky's POV)We were just hanging around with Rachel in the bar next door to Code hack.I was already a few drinks in while Rachel was drinking her soda.She told me about her pregnancy only yesterday!I mean come on! We were best friends! So I was still a bit hurt, but not too much.I still accepted her offer for drinks.After all, I still loved my best friend.She was like a sister I never had.So staying mad at her for long was not an option.So as I was saying, we were just chatting away, when she suddenly became unnaturally pale."Rach, are you ok?""Sure. It's just this morning sickness. It's a nasty thing. And no I have no idea why they call it morning sickness if it hits you at any time of the day."I chuckled at her rambling, but quickly called over our bartender to pay our bill.As we were already walking down the street she called Mason to let him know she was coming to him, so he could take her home.I knew Mason was out with friends but I had no idea with whom
Chapter 10 (Aron's POV)You know things will go wrong once you start noticing all the sexy details about your best friend's sister.Well let's be honest here.I found those details sexy the moment I met Becky in person.But right now, with my brain soaked in beer and whiskey I was moment away from acting on my lust induced ideas.All I wanted was for us to be alone somewhere and get to the fun part.Hopefully I will get her out of my system as well.Somewhere in the back of my mind I heard a voice telling me that we would still need to work together for at least a few moments, but I was willing to put that part on mute for now and deal with it in the morning.And it wasn't just lust speaking right now either.I genuinely liked her company.She was funny and smart, she was a good listener that actually listened to what I was telling her, even when I spoke about my work."So are we ready to call it a night?"Her words brought me back from my thoughts.I looked around and realized the ba
Chapter 11 (Becky's POV)After we came back, I made us some tea and set it all in the living room.But looking at Aron, you could tell he wasn't psychically present.He might be standing in the same room as I was, but his mind was somewhere far away.And that scared me very much.Because once a person got that far away look in their eyes it could mean only two things.Either they were thinking about something really nice, or something really awful.And since Aron asked for a place to crash, I'd say it was the latter.The suspense was killing me but I didn't dare utter a word, so I was just waiting patientlyWho am I kidding? There wasn't a patient bone in my body.After a few long minutes that felt like ages have passed he finally spoke.But his voice was dull and void of any emotions."You see, once upon a time, I thought my life was perfect. But as I got older, I started noticing there were little differences between me and my aunt, whom at that time I thought was my mother. There
Chapter 12 (Aron's POV)I had her pinned against the wall in seconds.And if I was used to having women let me lead the way, let me tell you, Becky was not one of them.She gave as good as she got.My hands didn't want to be on the nice side either.They were all over her.I could hear a small voice in my head telling me to stop, that it was not a good idea, but right now, I couldn't care less.This woman was perfect in every way possible.From the way she got everything done with determination and passion, to the way she handled her practically destroyed career as a model. And last but not least, the way she defended me, even though she didn't know me for long.The way she got mad at my biological mother was something I never experienced from another person.Those few that knew the story usually gave me a look full of pity, but in her eyes I could only detach rage and understanding.And I have no idea why, but it was a turn on for me.All the consumed alcohol probably had something to
