Strawberry

Chapter One

Abbigail's POV

"How did the interview go?" Marisa asks handing me a drink.

"How did you think?" I smirk taking a sip of my drink and she squeals hugging me.

"I am so happy for you" she tells me, and I smile.

I am siting in a booth at one of the hottest clubs in L.A with my friends I had just gotten back in town I had taken some time off to deal with some family matters and some personal ones. My last job didn't quite go as plan then again nothing in my life ever does. I worked my ass off to get where I am today and then one simple stupid mistake and it all goes down the drain.

I knew that it was wrong to get involved with my boss, but I still went ahead and got mixed up with him and he screwed me over literally. I worked for him for months and not once did I know that he was married the minute I found out I quit.

I was so embarrassed when I found out I left town for awhile and never looked back until a few days ago when I got a call from a Mr. Morello. I don't even remember applying for a job with him, but he somehow stumbled on my application and called me for an interview.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it but when my dad fell ill I knew I had to get back out there, so I went for the interview and he was like most people impressed with my work. As was I, I had looked over the company before going in and I must say that they had done good for the first quarter, but I think they can do much better and I told him just that.

I have never been on to hold back what I want to say my dad always told me that the only way you can make a change is if you open your mouth and speak the change, so I did. I don't know where my interest in business came from, both my parents are normal people they barely finished high school. My mom is a baker and my dad is a truck driver normal people, yet I am a business woman. They are very proud of me and that's all I wanted.

Marisa and I sit and talk for a while before hitting the dance floor it's my last free weekend before work starts and I want to have some fun. Marisa and I dance on each other grinding and acting sexy before two guys walked up to us and we started to dance on them.

"We should get out of here" the guy I was dancing on whispers.

Normally I would be all done for a one-night stand but right now I just want to have some fun without complications.

"I'll pass" I tell him.

"Come don't be such a tease you've been rubbing that ass on me all night I know you want me" he tells me, and I roll my eyes.

I distance myself from him walking away when he grabs my hand pulling me back to him.

"Hey, I think the lady said no" a voice says from behind him.

The guy releases me turning around to face the other guy I look over at him and everything in me stops as I stare at him. He is wearing a dark jacket with a white linen shirt with the first few buttons undone giving me a good look at his chest. Man, he is hot.

"Whatever" the guy I was dancing on walks away leaving me with my rescuer.

"I guess I should thank you for that?" I ask, and he smiles.

"A drink would be thanks enough" he says stepping closer to me.

His strong peppermint scent filled my nose and I get a bit heady I don't know what it is about a strong male scent that gets me so hot. I walk to the bar with my kind stranger following behind me, I don't have to ask I know that he is staring at my ass making me sway my hips a little more than usual.
