Surviving the CEO

Chapter 11: Drunk

**Aria's POV**

I storm out of his building angry about how lowly he thinks of me. I know I should just forgive him but put yourself in my shoes. Would you forgive him right away? No? I didn't think so. I look around at my environment and my car is sitting right in his driveway. I run over to it and get in, luckily the keys are in the ignition. I speed out of the driveway and down the street.

**FLASHBACK**

"So where are we going to live?" I ask as Brandon and I are cuddling on the couch watching a movie.

"What do you mean?" He asks his eyebrows furrowed.

"Where are we going to live when we get married? Where are we going to raise our kids of we have them? We can't live here forever."

"We can look at houses online." Brandon suggests.

"That would be amazing." I peck his cheek and curl up against him.

"I have the laptop so we can look up a few houses."

"Doesn't matter what we do." Brandon pulled out the laptop and went to various websites before finding one in a small community.

"What is the price range that we have?" I ask.

"Don't worry about the money. Okay?" He says as he kisses my forehead.

"But I thought that you wanted to wait a few years to buy a house? To save up money?" I voice as I remember our discussion from a few months ago.

"Just don't worry about it. Okay baby?"

"Okay."

"I think I found one."

"Really?"

"Yeah. A two story, 5 bedroom, three and a half bathroom house in the outskirts of NYC. It's in a gated community called Rosewater Garden. It has 5 acres of land that's fenced in. The community allows pets and it has a small pond and park inside." He shows me photos of the house and I instantly fall in love with it.

"How much is it?" I ask.

"What did I say about that?"

"Not to worry about it."

"Exactly."

"We're going to see the house in a few weeks. I set up a meeting with a realtor."

"What?"

"I set up a meeting with a realtor in a few weeks."

"Baby. You shouldn't have." I jump on his lap and kiss him gently. He wraps his around my waist and kisses me back.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too."

**FLASHBACK OVER**

I arrive at my apartment building twenty minutes later and enter my apartment. I lock the door behind me and plop down in the couch, closing my eyes in relief. I open my eyes after a few minutes and decide to take a nice long bath to calm my nerves. I walk into my room, grab a matching Cookie Monster tank top and pajama short set and a pair of panties.
