The Secretary

Leaving

Brooklyn's pov
---------------------------

I can't believe Brandon found me. Well, found my apartment. Thank god I wasn't there when he showed up. I can't tell Carson that it wasn't just a regular robbery that took place at my apartment. What would he think of me? But I know I need to leave before he gets hurt. God damnit I love him and I could never live with myself if he got hurt because of me. I need to leave when he's busy.

I look over at the clock and see that its only five in the morning. I look over to my other side and looked at Carson who is sound asleep. I've never felt this way towards anyone before. It's going to be so hard to leave him, he's so perfect. I kiss his cheek softly then unwrap his arms from around me and get up to make some breakfast. Might as well treat him nice before I leave.

I finished cooking breakfast around six which is the same time I saw Carson sleepily walk into the kitchen. In nothing but pajama pants. My god he looke hot. How could someone as hot as him want to be with someone like me? I know he wouldn't want to be with me if he finds out about Brandon. Who would want to be with someone who's being hunted down by their crazy ex?

"How long have you been up to be able to make all this food?" He asked sleepily as he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"I didn't sleep good so I decided to make breakfast for us." I partially told the truth as I kissed his cheek.

"You're safe now. No one's going to come hurt you. It was just a random robbery remember?" Only it wasn't. It was aimed at me and it was intended for me to get kidnapped.

"I know." I whispered and pulled away from him to hand him a plate of food. We sat down and ate breakfast in silence. Once we were both finished we went upstairs and changed into our work clothes.

"We have three meetings today but you shouldn't be needed for the last one." Carson told me as he drove to the building. Looks like it'll be easy for me to leave if I don't have to go to that meeting.

I nodded and gave him a small smile "Alright. I think I'll go back to your house early then if you won't need me." I said as I bit my lip. I really didn't want to leave but I had to protect him.

He nodded and parked in front of the building. We both got out and went up to our desks.

"See you at your first meeting." I said and pecked his lips, but not before I made sure no one was looking. We still haven't told anyone about our relationship.

"See you then Ms. Myers." He said with a playful smirk before walking to his office.

The day seemed to go by slowly and it was killing me. After the second meeting I walked into Carson's office with him to give him one last kiss. But he didn't know that.

"I'm gonna head out." I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought him into a deep kiss. I still couldn't believe how soft his lips are. We made out for a few minutes before we finally pulled away from each other, breathing hard.

"That was one good kiss. It's not like I'm not gonna see you for a while. I'll be home in around two hours." Carson said with a smile. He looked so happy. I hope he stays happy when I leave.

I nodded, knowing full well that was probably our last kiss "Goodbye, Carson." I said softly and kissed his cheek before walking out and taking a cab to his house.

Once I got to the house I went up to his room and started to pack my stuff back up in my suitcase. I also may have stolen one of Carson's shirts as well. They're just so comfy. I left a quick note on the bedside table for him then, with a few tears in my eyes I left.

Carson's pov
-----------------------

I know I love her. But I can't seem to get the words out. But hey, I have all the time in the world to tell her anyways. I finished up the last meeting of the day then started to drive home to the most beautiful woman on earth. I can't believe I get to call her my girlfriend. She's so sweet yet snarky at the same time. And I absolutely love her for it.

I pull up to the house and walked inside with a smile on my face. I seem to always have one when I think about Brooklyn.

"Sweetheart, I'm home!" I called but I heard no reply. Is she asleep? I walk upstairs to our bedroom and look around. But all I find is a note on the bedside table. I grab it and began to read it.

Dear, Carson

You have no idea how hard this is for me to do. Trust me, I didn't want to. To keep you safe I'm not able to tell you everything but I will tell you that that robbery in my apartment wasn't just random. In fact, it wasn't even a robbery. Someone is after me and they tried to take me. As you could tell by how trashed my apartment was they are a bit violent. I wish I could tell you more but I need to keep you safe. Please don't come after me or try to find out who's after me. But I wanted you to know I've never been happier since I've been with you. You've made me so happy and believe in true love again. Yes, I love you. I've been wanting to tell you but I didn't know how you'd react. I'll never forget you. Maybe I'll find my way back to you one day.

All I knew from that moment on was that I'm getting the love of my life back no matter what.

I'm so sorry this took so long! I started a job so everything's been kind of crazy lately. I promise to try and update more often!
