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'tChapter 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
Chapter 13 (Becky's POV)I woke up with a massive headache.Alone! In my bed.Now if I wasn't really really drunk, there were no chances that I was hallucinating.Yet I could swear there was a gorgeous boss with me yesterday.I could also remember I dry humped him until I found my release.But then I can barely remember anything after that.Especially not how I got to my own bed, or where he was right now, because the other side of my bed was cold.But I think it's best I go hunt down some pain killers first.Then I can maybe think when the little man inside my head won't try to break my skull.I went to the kitchen, found some pain killers and orange juice and decided to prepare some breakfast.Food was always good to soak up the alcohol, or a hangover in my case.And since Aron drank as much as I did or maybe even more, I guess he won't be opposed to some food as well.I took out some toast, cheese and bacon and started making breakfast.Since I am not a model anymore, at least not
Chapter 14 (Aron's POV)I was on cloud number nine honestly.I can't even believe she agreed to go out with me.Well technically we won't be going out at all, but that's fine with me.I can get her out of her clothes even faster in that scenario.I'll be honest. I had no idea when was the last time I even had such an interest in a woman.But Becky just seems to ignite a fire inside of me and she is the only one that can put it down.And I know it's all going fast since we knew each other for only a day, but since Mason and Rachel always spoke about her it kind of felt like I knew her all my life already.I knew pretty much everything a man can know about a woman.So I wasn't really worried about anything.After all she also said when we were at Vicky's yesterday, that she wasn't looking for anything serious. At least not until she finds her footing again.Which is completely logical since she lost everything in one day.Well not everything, but it was written in her eyes how much mode
