Don't Give Up On Me - Unedited

Chapter 8

Ouch.

My head hurts and my eyes are burning. There's too much light in this room. I pull the bed sheets over my head. That's when I realise I'm naked. NAKED! WTF! OH NO! Oh dear god no.

Flashbacks from last night hit me hard. Oh no no no no no! How the fuck am I meant to look my boss in the eye again.

The door opens and in walks Hunter, freshly showered and dressed.

"Morning beautiful" he says as he walks up and wraps his arms around me and places a gentle kiss on my forehead. I pull the sheets tighter around my body and bow my head ashamed.

"What's wrong Charley? Did I do something?" He asks.

Not just you Hunter I did something too. I fucked my boss last night.

The shame causes a burn to my cheeks. I bite my lip nervously and stare at the floor. What the fuck am I meant to say? Last night was the best sex I've ever had in my life but it can't happen again? Or your my boss and I don't want things to be awkward for us in work so we can't continue?. Shit!

"You regret it. Fuck sake Charley please don't tell me you regret it." He looks pissed. He sounds pissed.

"It's not that. Your my boss. I don't want things at work to become awkward. Last night was amazing. From what I remember off it."

He chuckles and I dare to look up at him.

"Charley it would only be awkward If we make it that way. We connected. I know you felt it too. We can carry on and we don't have to tell anyone if your worried about office gossip. I know you shy away. So if your worried we can keep it to ourselves until your ready." He looks at me intently as he says every word. His voice softer than before.

"I'm sorry Hunter but-"

"But what Charley?" I flinch from the tone of his voice seeping out anger. "I'm sorry Charley I didn't mean to scare you." His hand cups my cheek.

"I was just going to say I don't want anything serious. I don't have the time to put my heart into a relationship or to date."

"So."

"So what?"

"We can still fuck." He says rather bluntly.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard what I said. We can be fuck buddies. Friends with benefits, no str-"

"I know what fuck buddies are." I interrupt.

"Then why don't we give it a go?"

"There's still a small fact you seem to have forgotten."

"Which is?"

"Oh yeah. Your my boss!"

"And as I said Charley, it will only become awkward if we make it. If your worried that this may affect your position within my company, I can guarantee you now that it will make no difference what so ever."

"Let me think about it. It's not everyday your boss offers you meaningless hot sex on a plate." He laughs with me.

"So you admit the sex was amazing and now hot. I'm obviously doing something right." We carry on laughing.

"I'm going to shower and get dressed. Have you had breakfast yet?" I ask him and he smiles.

"No I was waiting for you. The girls are doing some other wedding related stuff today. Paul, my brother flys in today, I'm going to pick him up if you want to come with me?"

"Actually I was going to ask Leanne if I could steal Chloe today. Take her out shopping with me, explore the city a bit and go for a spot of lunch."
