Adelaide

I'm standing in front of my best friend's house. The Gilmore mansion. I should just turn around and walk away but I can't.

Finally, I knock. I am met with the maid, Maria. She smiles as her eyes meet mine. "Welcome Adelaide'' she welcomed me into the house. She took a step to the right to let me into the house.

Ella, my best friend, walks down the stairs, bouncing down the stairs with a smile on her face. "Ade, I'm so fucking happy to your here. Let's go, we're already late," she said, rushing me towards her room.

Tonight is college graduation and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. With that being said I'm not exactly excited to graduate. I have to figure myself out and find who I want to be and I have no idea where to start.

But Ella knew who she was when she was like 5 years old. She knew she wanted to be a doctor and live in a small town and be a small town doctor. Sometimes I wished I was more like her. But alas I'm nothing like her.

We get to her room and I get my dress I left at her house. Then I take it and walk into the bathroom to put on my dress I bought for tonight. I bought a black sparkly dress with a slit on the right leg. The straps were small and the top of my dress was triangles near the boobs.

I walked out of the bathroom as I passed by and I saw Ella's dad's office door opened. I was tempted to sneak in and look around. His office was rarely ever open. Now was my chance. I slowly walked towards his office making sure I looked around me to make sure I didn't get caught.

I get to the door without being caught by anyone. I made sure to look in so that no one is here. Once it's clear, I walk into the room. The room is a shade of blue, there's a desk in the back corner full of paperwork. I sit at the desk and pretend to be like him. Strong, confident, sexy. "You're fired," I said out loud. As if I was I was him.

Ella's dad Carter, was a multi-millionaire. He owns a ton of business. Always works out of his office.

"Is that really how I sound?"A voice said. My eyes snapped up to look at the man in front of me. My best friend's dad. I immediately stood up. Shit. How do I get out of this? I'm going to be in so much trouble.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Girlmore. I just-"

"DON'T" he interrupted me. He shut the door behind him and made his way in front of me. My breath hitches and my heart drops to my stomach. "What are you doing in my office, Adelaide?" he asked towering over me. A smirk on his face.

Instead, I ignored what he said walking up to him until I'm still in front of him., "Why did you close the door Mr. Gilmore?"

He starts to get nervous. I should have walked away. I'm going to walk out of the door. He was so close I could feel his breath on my skin. He reaches over and caresses his finger on my face. I think for a second he was going to lean in and kiss me. His eyes never leave mine.

Instead, he moved away from me and sat at his desk avoiding eye contact with me by staring down at the papers. "So I can focus on my work your dismissed, Adelaide,"

I stand there dazed and confused and a little horny. I should just leave. Turn away and forget this ever happened but I can't. I can't walk away.

I banged my hands on his desk and his eyes snapped to mine. "Adelaide!" he said in warning. But I wasn't giving it up. I leaned forward my breast on full display.

"What Mr Gilmore can't handle being alone with me?" I asked teasingly. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair. He leaned back in his chair.

"Adelaide," he said through clenched teeth. Another warning. I should stop. But I loved this power. "You should leave," he says releasing a breath.

I lifted myself from the desk and turned away from him. I made sure to walk sexy out the door and I felt his eyes on my body. I smiled.

I closed the door behind me and walked to my best friend's room. She's looking at the mirror patting down her outfit. She sees me from the mirror.

"Ade you look amazing!" she exclaimed happily clapping her hands together. She wraps me in hug.

I felt powerful and so fucking beautiful. I hear, "Carter, Adelaide, Ella. It's time to leave," coming from Ella's mom, Ms Gilmore.

The bitch. She doesn't like me at all. I rolled my eyes. "Come on, Ade. She's not that bad," Ella nudging me in the shoulder.

"Clearly you haven't met her," I snarled. Ella just laughed. I grabbed my things and we both started walking towards the steps. I walked down the steps laughing with Ella. I stopped laughing when I meet him his eyes at the bottom of the steps.

It was like it was just a moment between the both of us. Even though he has already saw me.
he stared up at me with awe, his eyes never leaving mine. 

It made me feel like something was crawling up my skin. I smirked. He was in black suit with a white button up shirt and dressy pants. His hair was in freshly styled curls. I landed on the ground floor. Ella's mom was praising her and tell her she looked pretty.

But Mr Gilmore was completely speechless. "Cat caught your tongue Mr. Gilmore?" I asked teasing.

He coughed. "Umm." He started then He caught himself. "Ade you look beautiful," he said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr Gilmore,"

I smiled. Then turned to Ella. She took my hand and lead me to the car. "This is going to be the most amazing day of our lives," Ella screams. I threw head back in laughter.
