Drifting Hearts

Chapter18♡‧₊˚Physically Weak

Ailene POV

I'm empty.

I'm drained af, I genuinely feel like there's nothing left of me...who even am I? I wish I could trade my life with someone else's because i'm so tired.

Laying on my bed I try to remember the times I were happy. The only memories I have is from my younger years.

Thinking about it I haven't seen Vincent in a while, ever since that time...i'm going to admit it I miss him, I miss him being around me.

He's the only energy I really had other than my friends and family. It's been a long while, the weeks flew by like a plane.

Before we knew it he left the office and worked back into his father's building. It's been 3 months. My dad and his had a partnership which also gave me access to his building.

And believe it or not I thought about visiting him maybe once..or twice. I'm trying my best to hate him but I just can't fight it.

I don't want to fall in love with him and I feel like getting closer to him makes it even easier to...but staying a way from him is definitely harder.

If he gives me pain I like it. It's better than feeling drained all day. Just working practicing my driving and racing isn't enough for me.

So why not add spice to my life? Self motivation is key because now i'm up off of my bed and baking cinnamon rolls again.

Cinnamon rolls and brownies, for him. Why not pay him a visit you know? What's the worse that could happen.

...

The brownies were already done and the Cinnamon rolls just finished. I packed them in a bag and for the finish touch a pink bow.

The building wasn't so far from the IOP building, in a matter of time I reached the location.
It was taller than our building for sure.

The architect was amazing. Everything around it was made wonderfully. I wouldn't mind working here.

As normally I stepped into the building and went to the lobby. "Hi ma'am how may I help you"
"I'm here to speak to Vincent, i'm a co worker from his other building" I said showing her my Id
"68th floor" she smiled at me

Overhearing the girl behind me she was also heading to his office. Not surprised I already know what they are gonna do.

We both stood in the elevator, it was really awkward "gifts don't charm him" she chuckled
"oh don't worry hun he loves when I bake" I regret even saying that.

He needs to put a leash on these girls because only thing they will do is growl.
"You're new around here" she looked me up and down.
"oh, i'm his wife don't worry" I showed her my emerald ring I put on this morning.

Oh how I love playing an act!!

"Wow what a good husband he is" she said sarcastically
"amazing in bed too" I smile as I hold in my laugh.
"oh I know, i've experienced " she smirks at me
"oh I know, not in my bed tho" the elevator door opens as I walk out.

She quickly walked infront of me but that turned out for the better because I didn't know where I was going anyway.

She lightly knocks on the door. "come in"
my body heats up to his sound. I bit my lip, haven't done so in ages.

As she walks in I chuckle at seeing him rolling his eyes. He freezes for a second and we held eye contact for a second.

"Missed me?" I wanted to smirk at him but just bit my lip instead, I was fighting a smile I won't lie.

I step in as I walk around and take a look. It was dark and moody, the view behind his desk is amazing.

"You never told me you had a wife me Mr.Richi" She opens her mouth and starts talking again.
"He's overprotective of me he doesn't tell anyone about me..well people who don't mean shit" I smirk at her.

He had a confused look on his face. "She says you're well in bed, won't you bring me there one day Mr Ricci?" She said in her fake voice as she pulls his tie

"I'll allow the couch" I smirked at her. She's clearly agitated at me and i'm loving it so much. She sees me as a competition and it's funny how I was never competing.

"Where are the documents?" She handed them over to him and he checked them, he then looked at my hand.

I hold up the bag of sweets that I had and gave a slight smile. I hated smiling at him, I would only smirk or bite my lip.

"And these are?"
"Your favorite" I slid them over to him. He avoided eye contact with me and I don't like that.

Get out

He said, as that girl chuckles...I turn around to walk out I was too weak to fight back I held in a cry, I hate being sensitive when it came to him.

"Ailene"

I bit my lip as I looked back at him "where are you going? You think I would speak to my wife that way?" my mouth opened slightly ajar.

The girl cleared her throat in embarrassment. She walked out and angrily glared at me.
"come closer"

I finally breathed in and walked up to him.
"tell me. why are you here"
"because... I baked and had extra"
"so you came all the way here just to give me?.." he smirked at me, i'm trapped.

He walked closer to me.
"Don't lie to me doll" I bit my lip as he said that
his smirked widen. "doll?..." He's the only one that calls me that, why do I miss it so much?

"You like when I call you that? You miss me calling you that luv" omggg I rolled my eyes.
"Hah.." he sighed out as his ear turn a light red.

"I'm drained..i'm tired..and I missed you" I finally let out under my breath. His eyes widen, and his slight smirk turned serious.
"You missed me?"
"What is it so hard to? Now I regret telling you that" I fail eye contact with him as I fixed his tie.

"Say it again" I shake my head
"I can't"
"You miss my company?" I nod I missed him and him being in the office.
"Hah" he started laughing at me

I bit my lips and roll my eyes, like ok I get it nobody expected me to ever say that but here we are.

"Lies" He walked away from me and back to his desk. Why can't he believe me? Is it really that hard to believe me. It was already hard enough to say it to your face.

"I'm done faking...i'm done faking for you" I walked up to his desk and leaned in "You missed me too huh? I know you can with me"

"I'm getting over it" He ate a brownie
"You don't talk to me Vincent..." Why was he being so stuck up?...

Not wasting any more of my time I left his office, I drove home and fell asleep in my sofa acting like nothing happened today.

I'm physically weak
