The FIRE in You

Chapter 36: Campaign mode

《《《Two months later》》》

"This is the best investment yet. I must say, you are the brains behind Fiducia after all", Philip said when he found me reviewing the numbers from the report I received. "What are you doing here? Don't you think being in someone's office at 10 pm is kinda creepy?", I asked making him chuckle. "It depends on the person", he said with a serious tone that I wasn't used to.

"Whatever, make yourself comfortable", I said and went back to reviewing the report. I was happy with it. But I needed more.

Forever Bright held 30% of the market share and I wanted it. Even though I had a long way to go, I trusted my team to bring it home by the time the campaign reached one year. #abrighterfuture was going to make history. The one that Lawrence was never going to forget.

"Hello! Earth to Aubrey!", Philip said while snapping his fingers in front of me. "What?", I asked with furrowed brows. "When was the last time you had sex?", he asked making me roll my eyes. "That's not a good sign. What about talking to your lover boy?", he asked again making me reach for my phone quickly. 

Shit! I was supposed to meet him at Feed n Drink three hours ago. "Fuck!", I said then called Jenkins.

"Please take me to the diner", I told Jenkins. "He has already left Ma'am. He told me to inform you that he has a night shift so I should take you home", he said and I felt like someone poured cold water on me. "Take me to the station then", I said and saw a faint smile on Jenkins's face. I guess my decision pleased him.

I found Sam and Ernest talking about some building that burned down the day before. Something about the mother being trapped inside, it scared the crap out of me. "Hey guys, is Ajax here?", I asked startling them. "Fuck Aubrey! You scared the crap out of me", Sam said while Ernest furrowed his brows.

What did I do to him?

"Yeah, he's upstairs", he said with less energy. Something was wrong. I could feel it. "We haven't seen you in a while, too busy for my boy?", Ernest asked making me stop in my tracks. "What did you just say?", I asked while going down the stairs. Sam glared at him and I knew something was wrong. I started going down the stairs slowly, feeling my anger rising. "It was just a simple question, Aubrey. No need to get your big girl pants on... oh wait, that Philip guy must be quite a partner huh?", he dared me again, this time with a smile. Thank god I was closer this time around. "Fuck you!", I said and almost slapped him when Sam stopped me.

"Ignore him. Please", he said and I nodded and went back up the stairs. I opened Ajax's office and found him sleeping on the couch that was next to his table. He looked tired.

I felt guilty.

I kneeled right next to him and kissed his forehead. He opened his amazing green eyes and blinked a couple of times then smiled and closed them again.

I kissed him the second time and this time around on the lips. He jolted awake smashing my forehead with his in the process. It hurt like a mother fucker. "Ouch!", was all I said as I fell on my butt. "Brey? You're really here?", he asked and the fact that I was busy nursing my forehead made his eyes wide as saucers. "Shit! Did I... I'm so sorry. Don't do that! I thought it was someone else", he said then rushed to get me an ice bag from his mini freezer.

"Thank you", I said then placed the ice bag on my forehead. It felt nice. "I told him to take you home", "And I told him not to", I said while looking at him. "Did you tell Ernest I was cheating on you with Philip?", I asked. 

I couldn't wait. 

I needed to know. 

Ernest was never one to pry in our relationship. I would have bet on Spencer being the one to say the things Ernest said to me.

"No, of course not. Why would you say something like that?", he asked looking pissed. "Because he didn't feel shy telling me about it when I got here. By the look on Sam's face you must have said something", I said feeling my own anger come to the surface. "I did, he must have overheard Sam and I talk about a couple of what ifs that's all... I was wondering if he made a move on you. I didn't say you cheated", he said making me furrow my brows.

"I am not a cheater", "I fucking know that but I can't help it, Brey! You have been closer to him these past few months than your own boyfriend. Even when we're together, you still talk about him. What was I supposed to do?", he asked and I was speechless. I tried remembering the last time I asked him about his day and he was right. I never have.

What is wrong with me?

"I'm sorry", was all I said then started crying. He rushed towards me and pulled me in a bear hug. I hugged him back. As tight as I could. "I'm so sorry Ajax. I've been so caught up in revenge that I forgot I was a girlfriend and a sister too. Please forgive me", I said while crying on his chest. He hugged me tighter. His warmth surrounded me. It felt so good.

Soothing.

He pulled back and looked into my eyes. He held my face in his hands and wiped the tears away slowly. "I love you so much Brey", was all he said before smashing his lips on mine. I kissed him back hungrily and started removing his belt. I struggled because it was not the one I was used to. It made him smile and take over.

He removed my dress in seconds, and by the time he reached my bra his patience was zero so he ripped it apart making me moan. His cock penetrated my pussy without mercy and all I could do was moan as he thrusted into me. He swallowed my body with his, wrapping his hands around me like a blanket while his lips massaged mine and his cock devoured my pussy.

It felt so good.

I missed him.

He pulled back so our eyes could meet. His were half open and mine we almost at the top of my head as he increased his pace. "Look at me gorgeous", he commanded and I did. "I love you so much Brey and I will always be here for you", he said making me feel like I was shocked by electricity and gave in to my orgasm.

He thrusted a couple of times then pulled out at came on my tummy. The sight of him panting and moaning at the same time while trembling as his warm semen covered my stomach was a sight that I will forever cherish.

I was busy looking at him when the fire alarm started going off. "Fuck me!", he said making me laugh.
