Sour (Kylo Ren x Reader. Modern AU)

Chapter 12. condone

"One more round of shots!" Poe said to the bartender through the loud pop music of the bar.

It had been a while, but Finn had convinced you to go out with him and Poe like the old times.

Your legs already were a bit wobbly and that's because you had had two cocktails and 3 rounds of shots. You shook your head at Poe.

"I've had enough" you told him fishing your phone out of your purse.

'U home?' Kylo's text brought a bright smile to your face.

"Is that your booooyfriend?" Finn said in a singsong way.

"He's not my boyfriend" you said wiping the smile away.

"Whatever you say, girl. You should ask him though" he set his shot glass down. Poe nodded, agreeing with Finn.

"Do you want it to be something more?" Poe asked leaning on the bar.

"I don't know... Maybe?" You furrowed your brows, unsure of the situation. "I mean, I think I do, we pretty much act like a couple lately" you huffed and continued "It's just that I don't know if I'm reading the room well"

"Then ask him" Poe said leaving you wondering how you'd bring up the topic.

When Monday came around you were shocked as you didn't hear from Kylo after he made sure you were safe at home after your night out.

You were honestly a bit worried as lately, you had been on each other all the time. You figured he just needed some time to himself and you were okay with that. You liked having your space too.

You entered the building on your own. Vicrul only said two-words sentences to you, so you weren't going to work together anymore. It annoyed you, you knew it was a matter of time though.

Once you got to your office you were startled by an important email from HR. All the blood drained from your face.

No good news came from HR.

'Come to HR first thing in the morning,

Alana Rice'

You shivered, already panicking.

You walked down the hallway and took the elevator to the 23rd floor where the HR department was. You could feel your heartbeat in your ears. Blood rushed through your veins and you could swear you were about to faint.

Your stomach churned when you stood in front of Alana's office and you shakily knocked on the door and waited for the weak 'come in' that motioned you to enter the room you dreaded.

The brunette woman was in her mid-forties and she asked you to have a seat opposite from her. She said your name and from there, your world started crumbling down.

"We got word that you have been involved with a superior" your heart stopped.

They knew.

"This is a behaviour that we, at the First Order, do not condone. That is why your contract is being suspended effective immediately" tears gathered in your eyes, your opportunity to get your dream job slipped away because you had an affair with your boss.

You were old enough to know your actions had consequences, but you hoped it wouldn't be that bad. You expected Kylo to stop it, but he didn't.

"Please remove your personal belongings from your desk, we'll have someone from the security personnel escort you out" she gave you a small smile that you could barely see. Your vision was blurry due to your tears slipping down your face.
