Addicted To You

Chapter 5

*Peyton's POV*

After pulling myself together, I buried my face into my work. Before I knew it, my office phone started ringing.

"Ms. Davis." I spoke into the phone.

"Did you forget about me?" I heard Elle's voice on the other end of the line.

I glanced at my watch and realized it was already 1:30pm. My stomach began to rumble.

"Oh! I lost track of time!" I started gathering my things together. "I'll be right down!" I hung up the phone, grabbed my purse, and left my office.

I met Elle and we started our walk to our usual lunch place. It's a cute, small café right down the block. When we arrived, we got in line to place our order.

Elle goes first, "I'll have a large caramel hot coffee with cream and sugar and the toasted tuskin grilled chicken sandwich."

Before I can start my order, Elle says, "and the pretty lady is going to get a large French vanilla cold brew with cream and liquid sugar and hmm." She pauses to look at me with her finger on her lip thinking. "the modern caprese sandwich. Am I right?" she smiles at me.

My eyes widen in shock, "That's actually exactly what I wanted."

She smiled, pleased with herself before paying for us both.

The cashier looks at us smiling, "You two make a really cute couple."

"Actual-," I start to correct her before Elle cuts me off.

"I'm pretty lucky aren't I." She turns and winks at me.

My face turned bright red and started to giggle.

When we got to the table I bursted out laughing. "Oh my god, I cannot believe she thinks we're together!"

Elle laughs along with me before we begin to eat.

"Hey, so is everything okay today?" she asks.

Remembering what I had witnessed earlier, the heat returned to my cheeks. "Oh, yeah everything's fine." I lied.

Elle rolled her eyes and gave me the look. "Pey, you are such a bad liar. Besides, usually you're a half hour early for lunch and waiting on me, Miss food lover. I had to actually call and remind you today!"

I sighed, "Alright fine..."

Concern fills Elle's eyes as she patiently waits for me to begin.

"I umm... saw something... that I shouldn't have." I start.

Elle's brows furrow in confusion.

"I went to bring Mr.Reyes his morning coffee and I heard him in Tiffany's office so-"

"Oh no!" Elle's faced fills with horror. "I forgot to tell you!"

"Wait, you knew?! I just about shouted.

Elle looks around before telling me to shush, "Never go into Tiffany's office before calling and getting permission beforehand."

"So, this is a normal thing?" I whispered loudly.

"Mr. Reyes and Tiffany have a... different relationship." She explains.

"O- okay." I said looking down at my hands.

Elle sighs and places her hands on top of mine.

"Mr. Reyes is... a complicated man." She explains. "He isn't capable of having an emotional connection with anyone, but he is still a man who is attracted to women and loves sex. I know he seems like a dream on the outside. He is extremely attractive and wealthy, but Peyton look at me."

I slowly look up and meet her eyes.

"He will hurt you. Please, don't go there. Promise me you won't." she pleads to me.

"I understand and I promise I won't." I couldn't help but sound disappointed even though I knew she was right.

"I have an idea!" Elle lets go of my hands and leans back. "Friday night after work, we are going out!"

I sigh, "I don't know..."

"You can even bring Sophia!" She exclaims. "You've been saying how she's been missing you... come on Pey..."

I have been kind of neglecting Sophia lately and she has been wanting to go out.

"Alright fine!" I agreed.

"Yes!" she smiles. "It's a date!"

After we finished our food, we headed back to work. As I reached my office, I noticed my door was slightly agape. I pushed it open the rest of the way and stepped inside.

"Mr. Reyes!" I said surprised as I saw the man standing next to my desk, tracing his fingers on my things.

Slowly he lifted his head up and met my eyes when he heard me. "Late lunch Ms. Davis?" he asked as he slowly turned to lean up against my desk and crossed his arms.

"Yeah, I sort of lost track of time I guess." I explained.

"Hmm... you're usually one of the early birds too... 11:30 on the dot." He smirks. "Was something on your mind?"

Flashes of Mr. Reyes earlier fills my mind and I start to feel my center begin to heat up. I know my face is burning red.

He starts taking a few steps toward me until he's so close I can smell his musky odor radiating off of him. He looks down at me and his eyes are filled with seduction. I so badly wanted to lean forward and kiss him. Everything about him was pulling me in. Biting my lip, I resisted all of my urges.

"Everything okay Ms. Davis?" He cocks his head and a smirk plays on his lips.

His deep husky voice made butterfly's flutter in my stomach. My center began to moisten even more.

"Y-yes, s-sir." I stuttered.

"Hmm..." he was obviously amused. "If you say so."

His eyes search mine before shaking his head and laughing. "I have to get back to work." He states before leaning in closer to me. His lips just inches from my ear. A shiver runs down my spine.

"Oh, and Ms. Davis." He whispers. "I'd much appreciate my coffee in a cup than spilled all over the floor."

I'm instantly filled with embarrassment and just nodded my head in response. With that, he brushes past me and leaves me alone with my thoughts.
