Toxic

05

We soon arrived home, and pretty much everyone was asleep. Nick Carried me to the warm bath he had someone prepare for me. He set me on the stool in the tub and said , "I'll be back in 10 minutes to help you get to bed." And with that he walked out, closing the door. What the hell just all happened. We fucked and now he's not being a dick to me. What are we? Are we dating? Are we just sneaky links? Oh god. What is Clay going to think? Is he going to kill me? He shouldn't. Right? I need to stop thinking. I took a deep breath and tried to relax.

After a short time, I heard a knock at the door.
"It's Nick. Do you want to stay in or come out?"
"Come out," I replied. "The water isn't warm anymore."
Nick opened the door and helped me get out of the bath. He gave me some towels and walked me to my bed. I laid down and he sat at the end of my bed.
"We can be whatever you want us to be." Nick blurted out. Can he read my mind?
"I figured with what happened I should at least talk to you." Nick replied.
"I've only known you for what two days? Why did we fuck? What are you, toxic?" I replied. I was starting to see how dumb I was.
"My bad. I shouldn't have been your assistant. Just get some rest and I'll see you in the morning. Alright?" He replied and left the room. I soon fell asleep to the sound of light rain trickling down my window.

It was now morning and I figured I should go tell Clay he has a mission today with Foolish. I drag myself out of bed (able to walk this time) and pull out some black ripped jeans and a nice top from my closet. As I make my way downstairs, I see Clay sitting by the kitchen table, eating breakfast by himself.
"Morning Clay!" I said as cheerfully as I could.
"Hey Y/N I've got a question for you." He replied I swear if this bitch talks about Nick and I imma slice his throat open. "Why were you scheduled with Nick last night?" He asked.
"He wanted to Kill George NF and I had to make sure he did the job." I replied, "also you have a mission today with foolish in 2 hours. I'll send you an email with all the information."
"Thanks Y/N."

~Time Skip~

It was around 9 pm and I still had a bunch of work to do. I had to put notes in on old cases, assign new cases, look for new agents, deal with the checks Nick is receiving, distribute paychecks, and so much more. I throw my pen down on my desk in frustration and held my head in my hands. This is going to at least take me until 4 am. I need some assistants but Nick is already sleeping. My mind starts racing about how much crap I have to do and tears start pooling in my eyes. That's when I heard a knock. I quickly wiped my tears away and yelled "come in!" In a cheerful voice. "Is everything alright Darling? I had a feeling something was wrong." Nick said. You could tell he just woke up because of his deeper than normal voice. He can tell when something is wrong with me. This man can fucking read me. "It's fine." I replied, not wanting to bother him.
"When a lady says she's fine, she's not fine. I've learned. So what's bothering you?" Nick said. His voice sounded a little more normal  now.
"I've got so much crap to do. But honestly it's fine." I responded.
"Like what?" Nick asked, genuinely interested.
"I have to put notes in on old cases, assign new cases, look for new agents, deal with the checks You are receiving, distribute paychecks, and so on." I ranted out.
"Forget about it all. I'll make someone else do it. How about we do something together. Like baking or watching a movie?"
I smiled and realized how lucky I was to have him as a boss.
"A movie sounds wonderful."
