I had never felt this way before. I was so confused. It was different from previous dates I went on and even previous relationships. I should hate Aaron, but I didn’t.
I might be starting to fall in love with him.
I scoffed at the thought.
“There’s no way I can fall in love with a man like that,” I told myself.
But as much as I tried to dupe myself, I realized I couldn’t. I was…head over heels and completely enthralled by the man that was here with me. It was so different from previous relationships, that I couldn’t get enough.
After we had brunch and walked around the town a little bit, I went back to my car. The fairy tale was beginning to end, much to my dismay.
When I got back to my car, we stopped and looked at one another.
I touched Aaron’s hand and turned to him. “I had a wonderful time.”
He smiled, that soft smile that he didn’t show anyone else. “I did too, McKenzie. And I appreciate all that you’ve done so far. Talking about that with you helped me come to terms with a lot of things. So, I can’t thank you enough for that.”
I blushed. “It’s all good. I’m glad to be there for you.”
Being the only confidant that this grumpy billionaire had was a bit strange, to say the least. I never would’ve expected it. When our lips brushed and touched, I stayed there for a brief second. I was…happy.
For the first time in what felt like forever, I truly did feel a contentment that came with Aaron. I should hate this guy, but the tensions we shared, and the moments that we had together helped me unravel the feelings that I had for this man, and I was able to melt his icy heart.
I still didn’t know how I did it. I never expected to have that kind of skill. I couldn’t complain, though. I was happy, and that was ultimately what mattered.
When we parted ways, I sat in the car for a second. My heart felt heavy, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I was sad to part ways.
We’d see each other come Monday, but I didn’t want to let it go. I wanted to stay with Aaron forever, or for as long as I was able to.
Monday came quickly, thank God. I spent most of the weekend watching TV and playing a few video games. I needed to take the rest of it off after a weekend like that. So when Monday rolled around, I walked into the office with a smile.
Some of the workers on the other floors noticed the changes in my demeanor. Most chalked it up to being out of the reception area, though, which helped with diverting attention to myself. So instead, I spent most of the day in my office, working on a few files to code.
As I did so, my phone flashed. I grabbed it, thinking that it was Aaron.
It wasn’t, though. The message was from an unknown number, and I tensed as I looked at it.
I know what you did slut.
Who the hell was this? I ignored the message and went back to my work.
Then, about ten minutes later, it happened again.
I know what you did with him. Do you think you can hide your tracks that easy, slut?
What the hell was this person on? I scoffed and deleted the messages.
Whoever they were they wanted a reaction out of me, and I didn’t know what to do. I was so confused. I imagined it might’ve been just some prank. Or they had the wrong number.
But then, the next day, it happened again.
Try to close your legs. Don’t fuck your boss like that, you hussy.
What the—okay, this had to be a coworker. There was no way in hell that this could be just any old person.
I didn’t want to go to HR with this, though. Not because I was scared, but because I didn’t want to explain what Aaron and I were doing. We kept it secret for a reason. Having a more personal, intimate relationship was better, and I didn’t want to be the gossip of the office right now.
“This is getting ridiculous. If this keeps up, I’ll just contact HR and have an anonymous complaint rendered,” I said to myself.
