Just Let Go

Hudson

Hudson

My phone ringing brings me out of the most peaceful sleep I've ever fucking had. I look down to find Darcy's head laid across my chest and her right leg thrown over mine. Her arm clenches round my waist, even in her sleep she's strong. Shit..who the fuck is pulling me away from her at this time on a Monday fucking morning. I inch out of Darcy's death grip and brush her auburn brown hair out of her face. How can she look even more stunning with her hair wet dried and no make up? Women would pay mortgage money to not look like death in the morning, my girl got it for free. The incessant noise of my phone drew my focus off Darcy yet again, god help whoever this is. Pulling on my jeans not bothering to button them I stalk into the living room area, snapping my phone against my ear.

"Who the fuck is this and what the fuck do you want? It's seven am on a Monday morning and I'm awake now. You must have a death wish." My PA Claire's timid voice breaks on the other end of the line, I immediately feel guilty, but I keep my emotions in check when it comes to employees, with Darcy it's a different story.

"M..Mr Woods, I w..was just calling to see if you'd be b..back in today and if you wanted c..coffee brought to the office." Well shit. Claire was an over achiever and got on my nerves ninety percent of the time, but she always put the effort in.

"No Claire, I won't be back until Thursday. As long as all my meetings have been rearranged and my calendar is in order, feel free to take these next few days off as when I'm back it will be busy." I keep my tone harsh and firm, the second they see a weak spot they lose respect, to them I'm the boss..admittedly one that has fucked the majority of his female employees, but the boss none the less.

"Of course sir, enjoy your time off!" Sighing I turn to rejoin the naked blue eyed siren laying in my bed, only to find her standing in the door way with the sheet wrapped round her,

"I didn't mean to wa-" I didn't get to finish,

"Thursday...you're leaving Thursday? You say all that shit to me last night and then you fail to mention that your up and leaving in four days time?" Now is not the time to mention I will actually be leaving Wednesday for my own selfish reasons.

"You knew I worked and lived up town Darcy, this is old news?" Her eyes were about to pop out of her head,

"Old news, I'm old fucking news now!?!" I saw the plate before it hit me..she was fucking mad but she wouldn't let me explain.

"Darcy, you mis read what I said...." Another fucking plate smashes against the wall next to me, thank fuck her aim is off...I edge towards her slowly..

"I said my life up town is old news, you are anything but.." Her arm pauses mid throw but she doesn't lower the armed hand..

"I need to work, I do very well for myself. But that's just it, it's old news. I run my own company Darcy, I say jump they say how high. I say I want to be in office two days a week and for meetings only, they open the door for me when I arrive and when I leave.." Her arm lowers slowly and she drops the plate back on the dining table.

"So you're not leaving for good?" I won't broach the situation on Wednesday, she doesn't need to know. But I shake my head to give her the no she wants to hear. I could work when I wanted how I wanted. I was in the office five days a week because I had no other life. I had no one to come home to, I didn't want to. But now I stare at this blue eyed woman in front of me and realise that's exactly what I want now.

"Can we leave the crockery for now..the cleaners are already going to be pissed at the water everywhere from last night." She smiles softly and looks up at me,

"I'm sorry Hudson, that's what I get for eavesdropping I guess. I will pay for the broken plates." I see her confidence dwindling so lighten the mood,

"I take many forms of payment you know.." The twinkle in her eyes was back and her one sided grin showed me her playful side was wide awake,

"Oh really then sir, can I interest you in my drafted payment plan then?" With that she opens the sheet clung to her body and I step inside, grabbing her under her arms I lift her and she holds the sheet around us both. Working her magic she pushes my jeans to the floor with her feet and holds on tight. I kiss her softly, coaxing her lips open with mine, before she pulls away slightly,

"On second thoughts I'm sure I have my VISA in my bag.." I tickle her and literally run back to the bedroom with her, the sounds of our laughter following down the hallway.
