EUPHORIA

Here With Me

KATHERINE

I could feel Christopher shifting in his place for the last 10 minutes yet I couldn't gather enough courage to ask him if he was uncomfortable but then I heard him say "Can't sleep?" I turned towards him when I felt him sitting up "Yeah.What time is it?" " It's 2AM" "I have to up in 4 hours." "Why? The office starts at 10?" I sat up and said "I've a meeting with the production head at the production site. So I have to leave the house at 8 to reach the site by 10." "Remind me to hire you an assistant. You'll overwork yourself this way."

I chuckled at his statement and said "I am an assistant myself, Mr.Wilson why would you hire an assistant for an assistant?" "Because you're MY assistant." I laughed it off and said "You should go to sleep though. You have a jam-packed schedule for the day." "I have no sleep in my eyes right now." "Would you like some warm milk? I heard it helps. Or I have some chamomile tea too, if you want that?"
"No, these won't work." "Then what would work?" "My mom used to read to me to make me sleep when I was a little kid. Can we try that?" I-

"My books aren't typical fairytales." "I can do with some romance or erotica even." He shrugged his shoulders when I looked at him wide eyed. Having no option I got up from the bed,after turning the bedside lamp on. He got up as well following me while I made my way towards my bookshelf. I stood infront of it and stared while he stood beside me.

"Choose your book" "I don't know" "You have no preferences?" "No" "Anything you like?" "I like being read to. No further preferences." He smiled at me while I looked at him with a 'I'm-so-done' face. I was still eyeing my bookshelf when he said "There's one more thing we can do." "What?" "Sit on the deck and talk?" "How about sitting on the deck while I read twisted love to you?" "You always have a better solution to all my problems, don't you? Katherine Watson?" I looked at him while smiling from ear to ear and said "That's pretty much the reason I have this job." "Let's go?" "Let's go."

CHRISTOPHER

I woke up to a weight over my shoulder and my neck bent slightly towards that particular weight. I opened my eyes only for them to be closed again because of the sun directly shining into my eyes. That was when I came to my senses and recalled how me and Katherine were out here while she was reading to me.

I don't exactly remember when we fell asleep but I do remember Katherine falling asleep on my shoulder first. Suddenly the alarm on my phone went off,making Katherine flinch and wake up from her slumber. She rubbed her eyes,looking at me and then examined her surroundings. It took her less than a minute to realize the situation. "What time is it?" "It's 9" She got up wide eyed at my statement "Mr.Wheeler would get so mad if he dosen't find me at the site by 10.What do I do?" "hey! Calm down. I'll talk to him if he says anything to you." "No, they'll say I'm getting more privileges because I'm your girlfriend, I can take a little scolding it's fine." "So what? It's not like you're just lurking around the office doing nothing all day." "It's not that. they just don't like you letting me get away with work." "why are we even talkig about them? they think i give privileges right now, I'll tell them what it means to be privileged by Christopher Wilson." "What do you mean?What are you trying to do? i've got a lot of work today, you won't do anything stupid like taking away my devices." 

"Dear sweet,sweet assistant. You will not be doing anything at the office today and that's an order from your current boss and soon-to-be chairman of Moonshine." "No work? Christopher Wilson have you lost your mind? We have a whole damn collection to work on and you're telling me I'll sit around and do nothing for the whole day?" Oh Good heavens, what i wouldn't trade to have her talking to me like that everytime."Yes,mi vida. now go and get dolled up real nice. You and the whole moonshine headquarters is gonna know how Christopher Wilson cherishes his woman." With that I pushed her inside her room after telling her that i'm going to the market to get myself a toothbrush and some breakfast for us.
