the ceo - h.s. [au]

chapter 16

harry has been back since yesterday and today i went home early from work because niall was barely at the office, thus i didn't have so many works to do. the lads texted me saying they'll go to my apartment around ten after their works are done and it confuses me how busy they are. i've ordered some food for us and clean myself but didn't bother to clean the living room knowing it'll be ruined when they come. i prepare for the guest room incase they're staying for a night because these guys are unpredictable sometimes.

they come at eleven. bragging in, showing me a bottle vodka and baileys with their cheerful eyes.

"are we going to drink up or?" i ask.

"duh," kyle shruggs.

"we have works tomorrow," i remind them.

"i've told them the same thing," jack sighs.

"shut up, tomorrow is friday so it doesn't count," ashley says.

"if you guys are going to stay, the guest room is ready, but i'm not going to drink tonight." i tell them strictly.

-

we started drinking at half past two o'clock. it's been two and a half hours and i can barely keep my eyes open. i ended up being drunk right now because kyle and ashley kept pushing me with the new filled glass and when i told them no, kyle grabbed my hands so ashley can pour the drink to my mouth.

assholes.

"guys, that's enough." jack says.

"oh, fuck you! boys sucks!" ashley snaps.

"amen to that!" kyle brag in.

"well, harry is a man..." i mumble.

"ah! what about him?" kyle asks, eyes full of amusement.

"i don't know. he's mean sometimes, but- but, i know he can be more than that," i sigh.

"have you tasted him?" ashley giggles.

"no? he's my boss!" i gasp at her. "i read his journal last week," i bite my bottom lip.

"how?!" kyle screams.

"the point is," i snap my fingers up, "he was in love with a girl and i wanna know what it feels like to be loved by him." i hug my pillow.

"how could you in love with a man who has done nothing but being mean to you all the time, scarlette?" finn asks.

"yeah, you always fall in love with the bad ones." jack says.

"he's not bad," i pout. "i know deep down he's a nice man."

"with shit tons of money!" kyle giggles.

"just please be careful, scarlette. we don't want you to get hurt over again," finn says, eyes full of careness.

"i know," i sigh, remembering all my previous relationships.

we continue to talk and drink a bit more til the sun comes up. it's quarter pas six and we have decided to take a day off today to get some sleep. i'm still unbelievably drunk and i think i'll pass out in any minutes. the only thing that keeps me from sleeping is our conversation. we talked freely without being shamed about it and i know we'll forget about it when we're asleep.

by seven o'clock, everyone's asleep. i gave jack and finn my room and the guest room for kyle and ashley. i lazily get up from the couch to grab some food from the kitchen, still holding a bottle of baileys on my other hand. once i drink up, i can never stop until i fall asleep. that's what i really hate about drinking. i've thrown up two times but i still continue to drink and this is the first time i drink this much.
