Life With Thrill | GxG

12 - words of motivation

-- Casey's POV --

I stood by the front door, gradually putting my shoes on to leave for work. "Not even a goodbye kiss?" Alex popped out of the corner, startling me. I stood up straight and gave him a sigh. "Listen, Alex, stop. I already mentioned, this was a one nightstand. I made a mistake for even accepting you to help me yesterday." I explained honestly, just praying he understands me this time.

"You know you'll regret this afterwards, don't tell me that because i know everything will be fine." He had stepped closer to me, grabbing my hand for comfort.

My head was seriously in so much pain right now. The dizziness or whatever i felt from yesterday had left an effect on me this morning so my thought process wasn't sliding on easily.

Alex was a mistake though. I might have needed the comfort last night but to even think about him doing it again or even seeing his face in my eyes made me want to picture life as a failure.

"Alex, let's forget about what happened between us and please leave me be. You're a successful person and you'll get where you want to be but without me because i don't like you in anyway." I explained further. Watching his expression change in a matter of a second.

His hand gripped on my arm, slamming me against the door and stepping right in front of me. "Now listen to me! If you dare to decide this to be a one night stand than trust me, i'll get my contacts ready and make your life a living hell! You'll be jobless again and Laila will find out in details how badly you wanted to please me!" Alex's voice yelled right into my ears. My body firing up in fear of how mad he looked and the pressure he held on my arm.

How the fuck did he even know i was jobless after accepting to be apart of Laila's company? I understood that i have fucked up. From what i wanted to be sweet revenge turned into my biggest regret.

"Get the fuck off me!" I thrusted his arm away from me and immediately opened the door, leaving his house in a rush and hoping into the cab i had called over just before.

He dropped me off at the building and i ran inside, stepping in my office and closing the door behind. I pushed my back against the door and gave out a breath from exhaustion.

-- One Week Later --

I rang the doorbell to Grace's house, just immediately being welcomed in by her. We greeted one another and sat down in the living room.

"So, my beloved friend? Maybe a glass of whiskey?" She was about to pour some in a clean glass while looking at me with a smile. "Oh, no, no! I'm okay. Have learned my lesson from last time." I innocently laughed out, laying my back on the couch.

"Learned your lesson, why is that?" She sat back herself, sipping the alcohol. "Well Hannah's birthday party is a complete blackout so i'm taking a light break on drinking." I honestly confessed yet her expression brightened even more from my words.

"Hm, so you finally know what went down that night?" She questioned so weirdly that it spiked stress towards me about what the hell i have done.

"Grace, what?! Listen, tell me everything because of course i don't know! Laila completely disagreed to explain because she felt like there's no need since it truly was drunk talk." I bursted at her, curiosity taking over me about this whole thing.

"See Laila is lying about that to you. She definitely took your words serious and still holds on to them secretly." Grace's lips formed a smirk. Just watching her put me on the edge on purpose.

"You told her you wanted her completely naked that time. Wanted to ride her out like there's no tomorrow." Her words cut deep but the months of knowing her, i could see the smile of lying.

"Stop acting like that! I don't want that. Never have." I broke away the eye contact, trying to hold in the thought of actually wanting it to happen. "Oh, Casey, Casey. Not even the truth i am telling here but you seem to want that." Grace spoke out, completely frustrating me out but making me laugh instead, not even trying to disagree at this point.

"Alright, but listen. No secrets between us. From what Laila admitted to me is that you confessed about liking her." She said those words out. My body almost freezing to the thought of Laila knowing that this whole time and not saying a single thing back.

Of course, yes. It's fucking true. I can't lie to myself anymore and push the desire away but god how i have made a mistake. Confessing it to her so soon? She's my boss and i'm her secretary..

"Oh, Cas. It wasn't some drunk talking in the end, was it?" Grace looked at me with pure confidence. Seeming to read out every thought i have right now.

"Alright, who cares though? Liking someone isn't a big deal. She's successful and attractive of course everyone likes her." I tried my best to ease out the situation more innocently.

"Cutie, don't make it seem like it's just finding her attractive. I'm not dumb and so isn't Laila." Her words were true though. I know Grace well enough and her ability to read people is so smooth that i want that to be apart of my life.

"The boss and her secretary can't have things forming though. Trust me, i don't keep this so close to my heart." I gave her a smile while saying. "Any type of people can have things form, don't try to put a barrier between you and her. Enjoy life and take what you can, Cas."
