Desire

CHAPTER SEVEN

It's Monday and I'm starting my new job at the publishing company. Well, the only thing that's new is the pay. I'll still be doing the same thing as I did as an intern. Just with pay. YAY!

Ella came to my house minutes after her dad left. She told me that he told her that I should have some company on my first night in my new house. But I can't look at her without feeling fucking guilty. I mean hours earlier I practically threw myself on top of her dad. How could I look at her knowing that I almost fucked her dad.

Though the night went off without a question from her. I guess she didn't feel the tension in the air as much as I did. We sat and watched movies and then we had a sleepover in my bedroom like when we were kids.

But my mind never left Carter. I found myself touching my lips like I could still feel his lips on top of mine. I have to forget about Carter. Remember Ade you can't be with him. I took a deep breath and walked into my bathroom.

I'm wearing a button up white blouse and a black pencil skirt with a slit on the side. I look like a regular assistant. Yeah, an assistant in porn I tell myself. This is only going to make me more nervous so I'm not going to change.

I left my apartment and walked down to my nearest Starbucks which was across the street. I watched as all the colleges passed by on their way to school. I walked into the Starbucks and was met with a smile from the boy at the register.

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

"Can I get a grande Latte,"

He nods.

"Your total is 5.76"

I handed him the cash. I took a seat at the tables in front of the window and waited. Across the street is an ice cream place and the tunnel where the bus comes from. I found myself daydreaming about one Mr. Gilmore.

The way he would sit in his office his jacket on the seat leaving only his button up white shirt now. He would sit me in his lap and I would rub myself all against him just feel him harden against me.

"You're such a bad girl," he mutters into my ear. Then he pushes me off and slams me against the top of his desk so my ass is facing him.

"You're such a slutty girl for me," he leans in so his mouth is inches from my ear. "Did you wear this just to fucking tease me?"

"Yes, sir,"

"A GRANDE LATTE" someone yells behind me to bring me back to the surface. I clenched my legs together. But then I realized that was my order and I lifted myself from the seat glancing down quickly to see if I left a puddle. There was no puddle. Thank god.

I walk up to the boy and take the drink from his hand. He smiles at me. "Have a good day,"

"Thank you," I replied with a smile.

The publishing office is not far from here, just a five minute walk. I made my way towards the office.

I was in front of the 10 story building, a skyscraper.  I walked into the office building and smiled at the security guard at the door. I walked into the hallway and into the elevator until I was on the 6th floor. The lady at the desk, Emilia smiles at me and then returns to talking to the person in front of her.

I had my own office right next to the office of the big boss who I have never seen. I asked around and they told me he works from home. Instead,  I assist the person who runs this building.

Ava fucking Mendez. Also known as a bad bitch boss lady. I have been working for her for the past year and it's been a fucking blast. She usually tells me what the big boss wants me to do and I do.

But when I passed by the big man's office the office was open and I heard shuffling inside. I looked inside. There was a man bent down, the desk covering his face. I knocked and he lifted his head hitting his head on the desk.
Then I met his gaze. Carter fucking Gilmore. Is he my boss? Shit. shit. Shit.

"What are you doing here Mr Gilmore?" I asked, leaning against the door. False confidence. He stood up straight looking a little ruffled at seeing me here. Did he know I was hired?

"I'm your boss Adelaide," he states like it was common knowledge. My mouth opened in shock. How did I not know Mr Gilmore is my boss? Is that the reason I got this job? I don't need his fucking pity.

I went right up to him and yelled, "If the reason I got this job is because of you, I don't want it," I stated. I would rather earn something than it be given to me just because my best friend's family owns the company.

"Adelaide,"he says in warning.

"No. I don't want your fucking  pity job" I yelled back. "What?You don't think I can get a job on my own so you hire me? Is that what this is-,"

He leaned in and kissed me. I went silent which was probably what he wanted to happen. I looked at him, shocked.

He cups my cheek and stares into my eyes. "I didn't hire you because you're my daughter's best friend. I hired you because you made a good intern and you deserve the pay,"

"That was a great kiss Mr Gilmore" I praised.

"Great?" he questioned. "Would one more kiss make it amazing?" He tease back.

He leaned in to try and kiss me again but I dodged it and pulled away from him. "No. Mr. Gilmore were at work," I teased, pulling away.

"Your such a fucking tease Adelaide," he spat. "You have no idea how much I want to fuck you right now," he breaths.

I have to leave before this turns into us fucking at work. "Do you need something Mr Gilmore?" I asked in my professional voice hoping he got the hint.

"No, Adelaide. Your dismissed," he replied back. I nod. Turning away and walking out of his office.

I released the breath I had been holding. God he looked so fucking sexy in his suit. How am I supposed to work with him and not want to jump his bones? Adelaide take a breath. You barely saw him as an intern, you're probably not going to see him now.

I walk to my office and sit down. Immediately my work Bestie comes in and closes the door taking a seat in front of me. Lucian, has been my work friend since I met him a year ago. He was always had my back. Plus he always knew the office tea. When you're at the bottom no one ever notices you makes it perfect to spy.

"Did you see Carter Gilmore walk into his office today?" He asked, a wide smile on his face.

"Yes, I have" I responded coldly. I had to pretend like I didn't care but inside I was filled with anxiety.

"He never comes into the office. I wonder why he's here?" He asked suspiciously. I hope he didn't see what just happened in his office. I wonder what he knows.

"I don't know and I don't care." I stated firmly.

He leaned against the desk putting his head down on the desk and looking up at me . "Come on you have to be a little curious," he questioned.

Then there was a loud banging loud at the door. I snapped my eyes towards the door and Mr. Gilmore was staring at me. Then at Lucian with eyes that could kill. Lucian lifted himself from the seat and disappeared. I looked at my computer pretend to be doing work.

"Is this what you do at work? Gossip with other employees?" I asked. Why is he being such an asshole?

I lift myself from my chair and walked towards him until I was in front of him. "No. But what I do is none of your fucking business," I spit back.

"You're so fucking frustrating Adelaide" He screams, annoyed. I can tell he's frustrated but I can't tell why. Was he jealous that I was with Lucian in my office?

"Was there something I can do for you Mr Gilmore?" I asked sounding as professional as I could.

"No," he said his voice finally calm. "But you should know that I'll be here more often."
