Is it love? Grace's story 🔞 Adam or Owen?

New paths

It had been 4 months since I had arrived in new york, and 3 1/2 months since I started working at Carter Corp. 

This whole place is still scary to me, just standing outside of this building it's big.. the whole building is shiny especially being white and lots of glass windows to let in the light.

Your probably wondering what lead me to this place and the truth is, it will come out in due course, but for the time being I should really start from how I met Adam and the gang. 

Grace.... Grace.... earth to Grace.... says a voice knocking me out of my thoughts.

Oh... sorry, I say feeling shy and a little intimidated, as I stand in front of my friend and co worker Matt, who is a lot taller than me, to be exact he is 6 ft 2, has beautiful brown eyes, and has  mass of dark brown hair to boot, dressed in his usual bad boy attire of, dark blue jeans, black biker boots, navy blue top with black shirt slightly unbuttoned at the top and that black leather jacket of his.

He stands smirking at me with his hands stuck in his jeans pocket, okay.... yeah, I admit it, i am checking him out.... again. I mean he's not my usual type but when a guy looks like him who most definitely works out and has more like an 8 pack than a 6 pack, can you blame a girl for looking..

You got a bit of dribble, just there, he points to my chin laughing.

Shut up Matt, I say hitting his arm away from me, as I sit down on my swivel chair in our joint cubicle, we had been working on two of the new account since yesterday morning, and through the night. I yawn.

So tomorrow night, colin's got a gig with his band, and you promised that the next one that he does.. and you promised you were going to come with me...

You know your desk is still a mess matty, I say to him quickly.

Stop trying to change the subject, you promised princess.

Hmmmm... I sigh folding my arms, fine I will come. I say trying not to smile, making him laugh...

You are a bad liar my princess. He smirk grows wider.

(Yeah, I promised I would start a new life here, take new paths, try new things, not just say no all the time)

What time and where? I ask him my arms still folded across my chest.

9 o'clock at bar bar's, I will text you the details. He says smiling once again, but quickly brought back to reality by our manager, Gabriel dropping another file on our desk.

Good morning Gabriel, how are you? I say cheerfully trying to be polite.

Good morning Grace, I very well, thank you, can i see you in my office in about an hour please.

Of course, I smile at him before he leave, truth is I have a bad feeling when I am around him, he kinda creeps me out.

You okay princess? matt asks rolling back on his chair towards me as I frown.

Yeah, yeah fine. I say. I am just trying to concentrate on the files we need to finish today, you nearly done?

Yeah just finishing this last bit you? 

Yeah, just double checking this then I just need to add yours on, I will grab us a coffee while I wait.

Okay princess, he says, as I move towards the break room, to grab two coffee, yawning.

I suddenly hear miss, do you really think it's break time, your not paid to drink coffee.

Good morningto you too miss sparks, I'm just grabbing matt and me a quick coffee, since we have been working all night on a project, I am sure if you have any problem you can speak to our manager, who I believe you know is Gabriel.
