After that night

Chapter One

*Nickolai and Ellie above*

It is a breezy Friday evening when I am woken from my nap by Ophelia, my best friend since the age of 12, who decides to walk into our shared apartment slamming the door.

"ELLIE, WAKE UP!" Ophelia screams with excitement.

"I'm awake! I woke up when you slammed the door." I say with annoyance and sass. Ophelia giggles at my attitude.

"Here!" Ophelia throws an envelope onto my lap. "this came for you in the mail." She continues.

I glance at Ophelia with questioning eyes than I look at the letter. Acosta Enterprises is written on the front in big letters. I open the letter and begin to read:

"Dear Ellinor Daniells,
I am happy to inform you that you have met the requirements to become the personal assistant to Nickolai Acosta  the CEO of  Acosta Enterprises. You start Monday morning, 8:00 sharp. Make sure to leave a cup of black coffee on Mr. Acosta's desk. He will be arriving at roughly 8:30.
-Acosta Enterprises"

I scream with joy, running to Ophelia who is standing on the other side of the couch. I bear hug Ophelia and i keep saying "thank you" over and over again.

"How did you do this?! I've been searching for 3 weeks and I haven't found a thing!" I beam.

"It wasn't that hard. I guess they were just desperate enough to hire you." Ophelia jokes sarcastically. I try to send her a frightening glare but it backfires as we then start to laugh hysterically. After our laughter dies down, Ophelia says, "We'll have to go shopping tomorrow afternoon to get you some office-appropriate clothing because you can't wear sweats and a pull-over!"

I gasp. "Why not!?! I think I look rather good in sweats!"

"You look absolutely adorable, but HAVE YOU SEEN THE MAN YOUR WORKING FOR!?!?! HES LIKE A SEX GOD! LITERALLY WALKING SEX!!" Ophelia shouts.

"O-oh I didn't know, I'd never ever heard of him before today." I say shyly.

"He's so sexy! You're a very lucky girl." Ophelia says winking, "But im off to bed. I've had a very tiring day." She continued.

"Hmm yess fucking your boyfriend all day can be very tiring." I joke.

Ophelia winks "Sorry im not a virgin like you" she jokes and heads into her bedroom. Little did Ophelia know that I was definitely not a virgin.

After watching a few episodes of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" I look at the clock that read 11:16 and decide to call it a night. I proced to walk into my bedroom and into the bathroom that's attached to my room whilst stripping my clothes leaving them on the floor.

I hop into the shower letting the warm water run down my back. I start to wash my hair and body. As I turn off the shower and opened up the door I felt the cool air consume my moist body sending shivers down my spine. I quickly grab a towel off of the towel warmer and thought of how lucky I am to have a lovely apartment and nice things due to the fact that Opelia's family is wealthy and owns a large fashion design company in the heart of downtown Manhatten. I always wonder what it was like to grow up with money and to have parents who cared about you. I was born in southern Georgia to a family where love was never mentioned and both of my parents were crack addicts, leaving me and my older brother Leo to fend for ourselves. When I was 12 and Leo was 16 our parents died and we went to live with our grandparents in Brooklyn. Our grandparents didn't have much money but they had enough and we had their love and still do!
