On with the reading

I woke up in a cold sweat and confusion.

That would be the last time I watched Fifty Shades of Grey before going to bed.

Talk about false awakening. (Google it; it's a thing!)

I had to pinch myself multiple times to confirm that I was awake this time. Melanie was right this was bad. I was now having dreams about the man. All because he...touched me. He did a little bit more than touched but anywho.

I got dressed in a daze and headed to work the same.

"Hey girl how was Miami?" Tracy greeted, which felt all too familiar.

"Crystal?" A concerned Tracy asked.

"Huh?"

"Miami...how was it?" Tracy asked again.

"Oh, it was fine- I'm sorry I'm just tired." I excused, please don't tell me I'm having a That's so Raven moment!

"You look tired, I'll make you some tea." I nodded slightly.

I walked into my office and gave myself a quick slap, waaaaake up! I looked over to window of Stefan's office and his eyes met mine. A gasp left my lips as he sent me wave and I sent one back.

"Chamomile tea darlin'." Tracy delivered causing me to avert my attention from the man of my dreams.

"Alright don't forget you guys have a lunch meeting at 1:30." Tracy reminded.

"That's today?!" I'd forgotten and I honestly didn't feel I was in the right head space today. We had a meeting with new investors and damn I wished I could've called out, I had to admit that I was bit mad at myself, because why was I like this? This man...he was insane and it made me feel insane and all he did was touch me... but even when I wasn't around Stefan he still affected me.

"I sent you an email of important details that you may have forgotten, so when you get a chance take a look at them." I only caught the last of what she was saying.

"Okay..."

"Are you okay?" Tracy asked.

"I'm just tired, I'll be fine thank you for the tea." I sent her a tight lipped smile. She walked out not forgetting to give me a confused look. When the doors closed I let out a long breath, today's going to be a long day.

Stefan's POV (I love you all)

"Are you fucking kidding me?" An angry Jessica yelled at me. She'd come over to see why I had blew her off the night before when I got back from Miami. I'd just broken things off with her and she didn't take it too lightly.

"I have a lot going on with the the company Jess and I don't need any distractions, I don't have time for what we do." I said for the 50th time.

"What we do? We are in a relationship Stefan!"

"Jessica I never asked you to be with me a officially, we were in an...entanglement,"

"So that's what it was?" She fumed.

"I have to go to work Wayne can escort you out, I'm sorry." I genuinely was sorry because Jessica was a good fuck, we had our fun but I had my eyes and intended to get my hands on something- more like someone else.
