Addicted To You

Chapter 1

"I'm so sick of him and his stupid mug." I whine to my husband.

"He's good at his job though." I sigh and nod my head.

My husband and I both inherited a lot of money from our parents. We were born rich I guess you could say. We grew up together, and it was basically like marrying my best friend, almost every girls dream.

"But he's too inexperienced, and he's cocky and annoying." I sigh rubbing my temples.

"Yes, but he gets the job done and he does a brilliant job of it." I sigh and roll my eyes.

I know he's right, but I really dislike our financial accountant. I mean, we aren't low on money but everything we buy, all trips that are booked, go through him.

Because of that, he is now moving into the spare room so he can do his job without having to come early hours in the morning and leave tired and stressed late at night.

"He's a nice lad. Yeah he's egotistical but he's also eager to learn and rise to the top." I nod my head and walk over to my daughters room.

I open the door to see her playing dolls with her little brother. I smile and walk in, sitting next to her.

"What are we playing?" I ask.

"Jackie's doll is trapped in a tower and my doll is trying to save his doll." I smile at her beautiful naivety and childish mind.

"Is there a dragon?" I ask.

"I'm a dragon! Raar." I smile at my three year old son, he's so beautiful.

He has his fathers blue eyes and blonde hair where Mariana has my brown hair and brown eyes.

"Well, would this lovely princess and her dragon like pancakes for breakfast?" I ask smiling.

Both of their faces light up ad they nod their heads eagerly. I was slightly worried they'd break their necks the way they were nodding.

"Okay come on." I pick Jackie off the floor and carry him into out the door.

Mason, my husband sees us and opens his arms for Mariana to come to him. She runs to her father and jumps, he picks her up and holds her in his arms.

"What are we making?" I smile and kiss Masons cheek.

"Pancakes!" Jackie calls out in excitement.

"You wanna mix it?" I ask Mariana.

She smiles and takes hold of the electric mixer and I put my hand on hers to keep it steady.

I sit down with Jackie in the high chair and Mariana in her seat with a cushion under her bum so she can reach the table as Mason cooks the pancakes.

"What are we gonna do with you two today ha?" I ask smiling at them.

"Mummy, my birthday is in two weeks!" Mariana says happily. So it is, she'll be five.

"Did you want to go get presents today?" I ask her.

"Yes! I want a puppy mummy, can we get a puppy?" I look at Mason to get his answer. He smiles and nods his head.

Even though we have a lot of money, we don't splurge it all. They only have one other animal, which is a cat.

"Okay, first we need to ask Dominique if he can come with us." I say to the two of them.

Dominique is the financial accountant. He will accompany us so we don't overspend and we get our money's worth.

Mariana's eyes light up. She adores Dominique. I smile and laugh softly at her reaction.

"Speaking of, honey would you go and ask him if he wants breakfast?" Mason asks. I sigh and nod.

"Mariana you want to come and ask him?" She smiles and nods, getting out of her chair.

We walk to his door and knock on it. Waiting to her him say 'come in' once he does we open the door.

"'Scuse me..." Mariana starts off with a soft voice.

Dominique turns around with a smile on his face, looming star aight at Mariana with his deep blue eyes giving her all of his attention.

"Hello beautiful, do I get a hug?" He asks opening his arms.

She smiles and walks to him, hugging him as her face goes red. I can't help but smile.

"Daddy wanted to know if you want breakfast." She mumbles softly when he lets her go from the hug.

"Of course, what are we having?" She smiles up at him.

"Pancakes." Mariana says grinning.

"Okay, I'll come now." He stands up and smooths out his blazer.

"Should I ask him now mummy or at the table?" Mariana asks looking up at me. This makes Dominique look at me too.

"Ask me what?" He asks with curiosity laced in his words.

"Ask him now honey." Mariana looks up at Dominique.

"Well, my birthday is in two weeks and mummy said we can get a puppy today if you aren't busy." Mariana must have given him her puppy dog eyes because it didn't take long for him to cave and say he'd come.

Mariana squeals in happiness and runs off to tell her father.

"She's a sweet girl." He comments as we walk together out of his office.

"She is, she's so smitten for you." I say with a laugh.

"She's not the only one." He comments, I look at him to see that cocky smirk on his face.

Just when you think you can have a normal conversation with him he goes and ruins it. Before I can deny his implication of me liking him in a romantic way, he walks ahead of me. I scowl and roll my eyes.

When Mason sees me I mouth 'I'll kill him', Mason just rolls his eyes with a small smile on his lips and he walks to me and kisses my forehead.

"I love you Tasha." I smile and relax at his words.
