I woke up the next morning irritated and annoyed. Aiden woke me up at seven in the morning, one hour early than I usually wake up. I barely got to sleep for five hours, and when I told him that I didn't get enough sleep because I slept at 2:30, he just shrugged and told me it was my fault. That son of a bitch!

Frustrated and sleep deprived I huffed and made myself some pancakes for breakfast. I proceeded towards the dining table. I just started to stuff my mouth with the amazing, delicious pancakes when Aiden entered the room.

He just came after working out at the gym. His messy hair were wet and a towel hung around his neck. Drops of sweat trickled down his forehead to his chiselled jaw and further down his bare, hard chest. His towel covered three fourths of his tattoo near his collarbone but that was not where my eyes focused themselves.

Although my mind kept telling my eyes to look away, those selfish bastards wouldn't budge. My eyes kept drinking the sweet nectar that was his naked upper body. His flat stomach was complimented with six pack abs that looked like they had been carved into hard stone. My jaw dropped and touched the ground but I quickly closed it.

I licked my lips and cleared my throat, "The bathrooms in there."  I pointed towards the door at the end of the hall. He walked towards the kitchen counter and poured himself a glass of juice.

"Yeah, I know," he replied. With that he headed towards the room with the glass of orange juice still in hand. I sighed and tried to forget the sight I just saw.

I finished my breakfast, my stomach so full it could explode. Warily I got up and cleaned my dishes before getting ready for work.

I rushed down the stairs while checking if I had everything. I grabbed my coat and searched for my cars keys. Finally when I found them I headed towards the door but I was stopped by a 6 foot 2 hard wall.

I looked up and saw that this wall also had a face. Great! "You're not going alone," Aiden said taking my cars keys from my hand and opened the door for me but I didn't move.

"Give me my car keys back!" I shouted. "It is my workplace and I don't want you there. Do you get me?"

He shook his head. "Tsk. Nope. Not happening. Nada. Look, either you come with me willingly or I find one way or another to make you." He pulled out his phone and typed in my father's number. I groaned. Aiden always used this against me. My father and he ganged up against me. They blackmailed me to get me do what they want.

Stomping my foot hard enough to break the floorboards I stormed out towards my car. Aiden rushed behind me and opened the door for me. I ignored him and opened the door to the drivers seat and said, "I will drive MY car." I put my hand forward asking for the keys. He shrugged and handed me the car keys.

I revved up the engine and waited for him to get in fighting the urge to leave without him. He sat in the passenger seat and I raced my car to the office.

All eyes were on me as I walked into the office. Aiden was hot on my heels. All women in the office giggled and blushed, and those who were bold enough even handed Aiden chits which he threw away, eventually. I rolled my eyes at the girls and pushed open the door to my department.

The eyes followed as usual but by now I learnt to ignore it. I walked to my cabin which Jason and I shared and dropped into the chair behind my desk. I sighed as I saw a bunch of files that I had to go through, already awaiting me on my desk.
