Make You Feel Pretty(GxG)

Chapter Eight - Devil In Your Eyes

- Freya -

"So what's the new design plan?" I ask as I sit behind my desk watching Blair.

"Well, funny you should ask, I'm choosing Quinns design." She says.

It's been a few weeks since Quinn and I agreed to be friends. And since she showed me the stars...

Yes I am aware of how lame I sound.

I was honestly so taken off guard by the whole situation, I mean how raw and genuine she was.

I've never seen that side if her before, it definitely made me rethink how I had been treating her.

Us being friends has been both better and harder than I could have expected.

Better because the tension in the air has died down by 50%, and worse because that other 50% is nothing but sexual.

Every movement she makes, every look she doesn't think I see. It's all intoxicating, everything about her.

But, we both seem to have an understanding that nothing can happen between us. I mean we both promised Ashley that we wouldn't...

Thank god she has some self control because fuck I don't.

I'll admit there have been a few moments where I catch myself looking at her for too long, or saying things I probably shouldn't.

But she never does anything, it's as if that flirty girl at the pool never existed.

So if that's a good thing, then why the fuck is it so hard for me to get over? To stop thinking about?

"So it was good?" I ask trying to refocus my thoughts.

"It was amazing, I mean I'll admit I only offered because I wanted to see what she could do but fuck, it's the best work I've seen since, well since you." She explains.

I can hear the excitement in her voice as she says that.

"So that's what you want to display at the gala?" I ask.

"Definitely, she's going places Frey." She says.

"On your trip this weekend I want you to show our clients the design, maybe even have Quinn present them herself...?" she gives me a look telling me that was more of a request than a question.

I laugh. "You don't have to sell me Blair, I would have had her present it either way."

"Good, she deserves it." She smiles.

"On the topic of Quinn, you two seem to be getting along here lately." Her eyes say more than she's telling.

"And?"

"And I've seen a difference in you, especially when we go out... you haven't been hooking up with girls like you use to." I know what she's getting at but I laugh anyways.

"Blair, we've been swamped with extra deals and marketers. I just haven't been feeling it, that has nothing to do with Quinn, who is married to my brother might I add." I say.

"Okay you seriously think I'm that stupid, I know Ashley is gay Freya. And just because we're busy doesn't mean hannah and I stop having sex, I'm just saying it's not like you."

She has a point, no matter how busy or stressed I get, I always have women around me, or rather in my bed.

Ever since I saw that side of Quinn I just can't seem to bring myself to want anyone else. I hate to admit it, but I want Quinn in a way I've never wanted anyone before.

"Look, Ashley asked me not to do anything with Quinn, and I've hurt him enough in my day. I need to respect his wishes, whatever is happening between Quinn and I will pass. I'm just letting it run its course." I explain.
