Changing the CEO

The real change begins

Rosalie's Point of View

I feel my body ache as I open my eyes. The sunlight bothers my eyes for a bit but then it all becomes clear. I look to my right and see Daniel sleeping. I see his muscled shoulders and lean back. I can't help but to smile at the handsome view. He made me feel sexy and beautiful. He pleased me.
I sit and stretch my arms. I am naked so I feel breezy everywhere. I chuckle. I am so sore!
"Morning," Daniel kisses my shoulder. I take the blanket and cover myself.
"Hi," I say. Daniel looks at me with his big blue eyes. "That was a great night."
I blush. "Yeah it was."
He kisses me. "I will leave you for a bit. Do you like your coffee black?"
"Sugar and cream please," I answer.
He puts on his clothes and walks out. I sigh. I need a good bath. I stand with the blanket around me and go to the bathroom. I turn on the water and the tub starts to get full. I put my hair up and wait.
The water relaxes my muscles as I sit. Daniel's bathroom is so grand. I wish I can have a home like this soon. I close my eyes and start to imagine a lifestyle like this. I need to work hard for it. Hopefully my PR job pays off.
Shayla told me I can apply for assistant office manager; it could pay me a bit more.
I stop thinking when I hear a door open. I sigh; it is Daniel. I relax again and close my eyes.
I hear the bathroom door open. I grin. "I thought I could have some privacy."
"It's Luke,"
I turn around and see him. My heart is stuck in my throat. I can't breathe!
"Rose?"
I shake my head no. "Leave! What the hell?"
"Sorry! I wanted to pick up some of my dad's stuff and the door was open! I didn't mean to," he exclaims.
I cover my breasts with my arms. "Leave! Gosh!"
Luke walks away. Oh my gosh, what the hell? I quickly get out of the tub and wrap a towel around me. I check if he is in the room and he is not. I put on one of Daniel's shirt and get my underwear and put on a pair of boxers.
"Luke?" I go downstairs. He is siting on the couch.
"Sorry okay? I-I thought-"
"It is okay," I stand next to him. He looks up at me. "Glad you're happy."
"Do you need help finding the stuff?"
He stands. "No, I know where they are but I need Daniel's keys."
"He will be back in a bit. He went to get breakfast,"
"It is one in the afternoon,"
"What?" I look for a clock but Luke shows me his phone. "Darn, no wonder my body aches."
"I better go; I don't want Daniel to get upset with you,"
As he is about to walk out, Daniel comes in with breakfast. "Why are you here?"
"I need your key," Luke says.
"Uncle Leo hasn't told me a-"
Luke interrupts him. "He did, but you didnt answer. So he send me over."
I take the food from Daniel and go to the kitchen. I hear them walk away.
Oh my god, why did I see him? Why does my heart ache? I feel my head spinning. I still like him.

Next Day

Daniel is holding my hand as we walk around the shopping center. "Did you like the clothes?" He asks.
I nod. He took me for a shopping spree.
"I want you to wear the white dress for the weekend; I have a small dinner party,"
"Okay sir, what else?"
He smirks and stops. "What do you mean?"
"I-I mean, like,-"
Daniel kisses me. "Do I still make you nervous?"
More like anxious. I don't know him yet. I dont know if I make myself look like a fool.
"Rose?"
I look up at his blue eyes. "Yeah?"
"Your phone,"
I take my phone out and answer it.
"Oh geez! Rose, why did Luke go to India?!" Nathan yells.
"Whoa, why do I care? Why you call me?"
"I thought you knew something," he whispers. "Why do I do now?"
"Nathan, he doesn't work with you, why are you so worried?"
Daniel pokes my arm. "Everything okay?"
I nod. "Look, don't ever call me for him and just get over it. I'm sure he is okay." I hang up.
"Was it for Luke?"
I nod. "Nathan is worried because he went to India."
"Why did he go?"
I shrug. "Don't care, we should go."
Daniel touches my cheek. "I know that you want to forget him but if you think we should worry-"
I say no. "He is okay. He didn't seem bad when we saw him. Can we go home now?"
Daniel smiles. "My home?"
"Why you say it like that?" I ask.
He kisses me. "Miss Rose, do you want to move in with me?"
Whoa whoa. Did he really ask me that?
"We have been dating for almost 4 months. I know it is quick but I think we can try it,"
I sigh. "I'll think about it. Can we go?"
He nods.
....
Charlie calls me asking if I want to be his flower girl. He is going to marry Dan in spring. I smile. "Sure but why not like Dan's niece or something like that?"
"Well, Dan's family isn't that accepted with us. We figured that we should have just a fun small wedding,"
"So I am part of the fun part?"
"Yes," he chuckles.
I nod. "Fine. Thank you for letting me part of your life Charlie even if I-"
"Shut up Rose. I know how you felt, I lost dad too,"
I wonder how he would have reacted to Charlie getting married. He would have been happy but I know that he rather have Charlie married a girl.
"Okay, I gotta go sister. I need to start planning!"
"But it is September,"
"So?"
I chuckle. "Okay." He hangs up. Wow. Charlie is getting married first.
I look around my place. I feel so lonely now. Louie was my family in this place. Maybe moving in with Daniel is a good idea. However, I don't want to use him for my selfish needs. I do like him and his house though. Seeing Luke though, reminds me I still want him.

Luke's Point of View

We arrive to India. It is as beautiful as it is not beautiful. Nayda's family are part of the Brahmin caste as she explained to me. However, both her parents werent born in India. I know why Nayda is more open and a doctor, because her parents are ultimately Americans.
"We are here," she smiles. I see a grand home. We get out of the car and see a tall man smiling at us.  
"This is my uncle," Nayda says.
I lightly bow and offer my hand.
Nayda chuckles. "Um, you don't really have to bow."
"Nice to meet you too," he shakes my hand. "I am Ralph."
Wow, such a non traditional name.
"His real name is pretty long so my dad named him Ralph," Nayda chuckles.
"So, is this your future husband?"
Whoa. I turn to Nayda. She is blushing. "No uncle, he is a business partner. I wanted to him to experience our culture."
Ralph nods. "Okay. Then don't catch me kissing her."
Oh man, this trip is going to be a long one.
