Chapter Eleven
As I sit at my kitchen bench, sipping on my morning coffee I can't help but shake the sick feeling I have. Why in the world would I do that? Why would I be so stupid!
I gave myself up to him, I gave into his words, that's all they were, they were just words and now we haven't talked for a couple of days. He's been avoiding me, going out whenever I'm home and coming home late at night. I consider him my best friend, but right now, my heart's breaking.
A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts. Right now, I have been waiting for my future boss to come over to meet with me. I was having a bad day, constantly over thinking, feeling my heart break all over again, so I decided to put some makeup on, do my hair, wear something nice, just to fill that empty void.
I walk to the door and check myself in the mirror to make sure I look presentable and don't look anything like how I feel.
I open the door and come across the sexiest man I have ever seen, and here I was thinking Darrell was good looking, this man just took it to a whole new level.
He's wearing a white button up dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up the his elbows, showing off his tattoos on his left arm and a gold watch. Paired with black dress pants and black leather shoes, his hair has the "messy bed head" look and his piercing blue eyes bore into mine as I stare into his. I feel a shiver down my spine, "Miss Lockley, my name is Tyler Graham of Graham Industries. Its a pleasure to finally meet you." He holds out his hand and I gladly shake it. I feel a jolt of electricity run through my body and I gasp, pulling away looking into his eyes. His whole demenor has changed, from a polite, professional boss, to now a possessive...lover?
I shake my head and smile, "The pleasures all mine Mr. Graham. Please, come in." I open the door for him and he walks in admiring my apartment. Thank god Darrell isn't here, I thought to myself.
"Lovely place, do you mind if I set my laptop up at the dining table?" Mr. Graham asks me and I nod, "Sure, would you like anything to drink or eat?" I offer him and he asks for a black coffee.
I make it for him and join him at the table, "So, you will be in charge of the Manhatten Hotel with me. I am based at that hotel and it will be a good chance for you to show your abilities. Also, I understand you want to go back to high school, is that correct?" He asks me and I nod,
"Yes, that's correct." I reply, feeling nervous all of a sudden. I somehow manage to keep my voice firm in front of him which suprised him, and I both.
He smirks and looks back at his laptop, "So, you will start work at Four and finish at Ten. I will have a drive available to pick you up and drop you off-"
"No need" I cut him off before carrying on, "I have my own car."
"Very well, I don't want you travelling home alone once you finish so I will have my body guard follow you home. Being closely involved with me is dangerous, I want you safe at all times." He says, his eyes holding that same possessive look, that actually turns me on. I squirm in my chair and clear my throat, Mr. Graham can obviously see my discomfort as a sly smile traces his beautiful face.
"You will have Sunday off and Monday you will finish at Seven for homework." Mr. Graham finishes and I nod, agreeing to my hours.
"Sounds perfect, sir." I say, causing him to smirk. His sly smile is taunting me, i wonder whats going through his mind. I shrug the thought away, and he carried on babbeling on about what kind of tasks ill will be in charge of, like making sure all customers are satisfied and well looked after, to build positive relationships with the staff there and to also build relationships with our frequent customers. In Mr. Grahams words, i have to attend to their needs even if it means working out of my shifted time. He needs his clients to be happy with the service and privacy.
Apparently, what goes on in this particular hotel is quite scandelous. I have been clearly told to steer clear of any reporters and paparazzi, claiming its bad for his business and wants his nose clean of any lies and judgement. Mr. Graham sounds quite passionate about his company, and im proud to be working within such a company.
Also, to personally know Mr. Graham also is quite good for my reputation that i have to build up around here. Need to start somewhere, so why not make an impression that no one can forget.
"Lastly, your attire is to be strictly professional, ill allow your tattoos to be on show due to the meanings as i can tell, but i want your hair down, covering your ear piercings. Also, you are to wear a blaiser at all times, you will be given a security pass with your photo and information on it on your first day, so you will have full access to the hotel, even my suite. Im putting a
alot of trust into you Bella. Dont let me down!" He states before rising out of my dining chair to make his exit. His suite, i have access to his suite. Oh my freaking god!
He turns towards me after opening my front door, "By the way, you're mine." He says and smirks at me before leaving me standing there dumb founded.
you're mine,
by the way,
you're mine.
Those words have been on repeat in my mind the whole day, I can shake the loving feeling I'm unwillingly having towards him.
Oh no! This isn't going to turn out good...Next thing I know is Darrell bursts through the door, sniffing the air. A murderous look plastered on his face, when his eyes land on me, he becomes void of any emotion.
His demenor has just turned cold and he squints his eyes at me, "What the hell was he doing here, Bella?" Darrell yells at me, causing me to flinch away and bow my head.
I don't know why I'm bowing my head but I can't stop myself. What the hell!!
"Answer me!" He yells at me again, "hesmynewboss" I mumble trying to let it all out a bit to fast. "He what?" He growls and stalks towards me, every step he takes I take a step back in fear. An inhuman growl came from him and I'm seriously freaked out. We keep playing this game until my back hits the wall and he's standing inches in from of me.
"H-he's my b-boss," I stutter and Darrell growls again, "Quit!" Darrell demands and I snap my head to loom him in the eyes, he can't be serious.
But, he is! His eyes have no hint of humour or playfulness, he's just stone fucking cold.
I'm getting really sick of this fucking side of him! I'm sick of the cold shoulder, I miss my best friend.
"I want you to stay away from him Bella. You are not to disobey me!" Darrell demands again and growls again. An involuntary whimper releases itself from between my lips, "I won't say it again Bella. Quit!" Darrell says and leaves the apartment, leaving me there stunned and fuming for the second time today.
Now, this isn't going to turn out good...
