Fractured Loyalties

•AMBER•

I rolled out of my warm bed at 4AM so I could get ready for my first day as an intern. It's been a rough road for me to get here and I wanted to make an excellent impression. There's nothing I want more then to become the new face of technology. Interning in one of the now fastest high rising technology companies only takes me one step closer to my long term goal.
I finished getting dressed in my high waist skirt and blouse and Tom Ford heels. I walked back in my room and walked to my girlfriend's side of the bed and leaned down pecking her lips.
She stirred before opening her eyes.
"Good morning baby." She mumbled stretching. I smiled and gestured to my body.
"How do I look? Am I too over dressed?" I asked her.
"You look stunning as usual." She smiled. I grinned and leaned back in for another peck.
"I'll see you later." I told her. She nodded as she yawned and stretched.
"Love you." She waved.

"One thing I hate about moving to the city is when you drive you're always late and when you ride the bus, you're always late. If I had any chance at working here it before it's gone now. I'm 20 minutes late!
I stepped off of the elevator on the floor of where I'll be interning. I looked around over the cubicles that covered the floor. People were either typing away, walking around, or gossiping at each other's stations. I slowly started towards the door on the other side of the office that had a sign that read CEO. I rounded the office and as I approached the door. It swung open and Vanessa, my sisters ex girlfriend, walked out laughing. My eyebrow rose in confusion. Then in shock when I saw Cynthia, her wife, come out behind her. She was wearing a sexy blue and black pants suit and heels. She looked like a completely different person. Her hair was straightened and hung just below her shoulders she wore a little bit of make up like eyeshadow, mascara. Not like she needing anything to make her look sexier than she was.
I bit my lip thinking back to how I mast-
"Oh Amber, hi." My thoughts were cut short by Vanessa's voice. I smiled.
"Vanessa, hi, good to see you."
"Same. Just dropping this one's briefcase off, which she left." She turned to Cynthia and smiled.
"Love you baby." She said pecking her lips. I watched as their lips connected in what seemed like slow motion. Is it bad I wished I was kissing those lips?
I cleared my throat snapping back to reality.
"Be nice please." She mumbled to Cynthia before walking past me waving.
Cynthia chuckled and her eyes snapped and locked with mine, causing me to jump in fear just a tad.
"You're late." She said in a new authoritative tone. I swallowed hard.
"I-I...I am so sorry, Cynthia. I-" I panicked. She rose her hand and shook her head. "Call me Cyn, please." She simply said.
My life is over. I told her she was a controlling asshole!
She shrugged.
"While I might be very controlling Ms. Holten, I am far from an asshole. An asshole would tell you to stop wasting my time and go back home, for being late...but, since I am in a good mood...and my wife asked me to be nice, thank you Vanessa." She said glaring behind me.
"Okay, sorry." Vanessa said turning and leaving.
"You can stay. Your desk is right here. Before you get comfortable could you go to Starbucks and get me a vente Carmel macchiato Hot, and I mean piping hot. That's all." She waved me off and turned walking back into her office and closing the door behind her.
What thee actual fuck. This is not the sexy sweet woman I met at the beach.
No, this is a sexy, aggressive, dominating woman, and all that made me want her even more.
"You must be the intern."
A deep voice behind me spoke. I turned and faced a very slim but chiseled face with a million dollar smile. He held out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Damion." I smiled sweetly and shook his big hand.
"Amber, and yes, I am.
"Hm...good luck." He said in an 'I'm sorry to hear that' tone. I walked over to the desk that was outside of the CEO's office.
I sat my things on the desk and looked through the drawers and cabinets. It was fully stocked with brand new office supplies and an Apple computer. Impressed.
I turned on the computer.
"So how long are you interning for?" Damion asked.
"6 months at least." I answered.
"Think you can handle it?" He asked.
"Well I hope so, being that I was twenty minutes late, and I accidentally called my new boss a controlling asshole, without know SHE was my boss, she gave me a huge second chance and I need to make the most out of it. I rambled. He chuckled.
"Lemme guess, you thought she was a he? Thought Cyn was actually 'Sin' yeah, we've all done it. Trust me." He reassured me.
"I feel like an idiot." I mumbled.
"Well look, my cube is right over here." He pointed. "If you need any help, just give me a holler. Oh yeah if I were you...I'd go get that Starbucks now." He said pointing to the drawer beside me and walking away. I quickly looked through it and saw a company credit card. I grabbed it and hurried to Starbucks.
