“Fling’ and ‘one-night stand’ were the words repeating themselves in my head because I didn’t know what I wanted from her. I knew the right thing was to leave this all behind and respect my promise of not sleeping with my employees, but I also knew that if I got the chance, I won’t be strong enough to refuse. But was I going to commit for the long term? I didn’t know. Maybe. Then, if I didn’t want a relationship, was I going to settle for friends with benefits? Fuck no. Friends with benefits had no strings attached which meant she could see anyone else and I just had to stand there and swallow. Was I going to let another man touch her? Over my dead body. If I couldn’t offer her what she wanted, was I going to let her see someone else? Selfishly, no way in hell.”

“This place was his? “I bought it shortly after my father died.” A voice sounded behind me and I felt how my heart almost jumped through my throat. “I pushed everyone away and spent most of my time here. They wanted a photo in honor of my father, but I wouldn’t take one without the employees working here. This place is theirs more than it’s mine.”

“Why was I so stubborn?”
― Maeve Hazel, Love Not Qualified

“I took my hand away with one last squeeze, then grabbed the knife and sliced a small bite. Truth was, I didn’t even know why I accepted to come to eat when I knew how this was going to go. Maybe because my stomach grumbled from the hunger or maybe because I hadn’t eaten pancakes in a year. Whatever the reason was, I realized now it was stupid of me to do so. We weren’t around his friends anymore, nor in his car where I could dash out if he’d pry too much. I was standing right in front of him with no chance of escape. With a shaky hold, I brought the fork to my mouth and almost moaned at the heavenly taste. I loved the taste of food, it was the chewing that made my stomach twist. I gulped the bite in one go and dropped the fork with a clink when I sensed the food rising back in my throat, a hand covering my mouth.”

“Her arms fell beside us and I took her palms into mine, curling my fingers with hers. Jolts burst on every inch of my skin. I leaned down, sinking my teeth into the crook of her neck. ”

“Was this what the cracking sound at the entrance was? She never mentioned anything and acted like nothing happened with her chin tipped upward and confidence still at its highest. If she told me, I would’ve turned around and stopped at a shop around the corner to buy her a new pair. I couldn’t believe she chose to walk in like this. Could this job mean that much to her that she would do anything for it? Why did I find that hot?”

“I haven’t had a single drop in three days,” he confessed, caressing the bridge of my palm with his thumb. “These days away from the city are good for me. I don’t feel like drinking, not at all. I hope I can keep this feeling when we get back.”

“That was it. I ruined whatever we had—whether it was professional or not—by showing him a piece of me. He had every right to run away from a complication like myself, after all, no one wants to take care of an adult baby who doesn’t feed properly. The bench I was standing on lowered under a weight and I shot my eyes up, seeing Mr. Graves sitting down next to me. His expression was serious, not a single muscle on his face moving as he leaned down and grabbed the fork, lifting it to his mouth. He chewed, then swallowed it with ease. “This is good.” He nodded, pointing at my plate. What was he doing?”

“She slapped her palms on her jeans, then got to her feet. “I’ll go pack.”  “I’ll let Sebastian know we’re leaving.” It was ten p.m., so I almost kept my word about spending two nights here. Even if I wronged them in the past, I knew they were going to understand once I explained. I quickly followed her and our arms brushed when I straightened my back, looking down at her. Her eyelids fluttered the moment a shaky exhale passed past her lips and she dragged a hand up, hiding a curl behind her ear. Instinctively, my eyes tracked her movements, stealing my attention from her full lips to the curve of her neck. Haelyn wasn’t even trying to seduce me—she was simply being herself—and yet I held my breath like a lion ready to attack at the mere sight of the expression on her face. She had her mouth open, a swallow traveling through her throat from time to time and the slightest blush painted her cheeks. The clothes on my body began to feel restrictive and I pulled on my shirt to loosen the material, suddenly in need of more air. How did she manage to make me lose my mind so quickly? “I—” I started, but she interrupted me. “Yeah.”

“I couldn’t help but laugh at her adorable posture—with her legs stuffed to her chest. “Sure, but as a professional boss, I’d like to know when exactly I eye-fucked you so next time, I know to hide it better.”

“I gave August his headphones and let him listen to his favorite songs, stroking his hair with my fingers after taking my hearing aids out.”

“I took a deep breath, tightening my hold on the steering wheel. “You could never be a fling, Haelyn,” I said and stopped, afraid that much more was going to slip out.  “But could you give me something serious?” she asked, then threaded a hand in her hair and her tone gathered a sense of sadness. “Because no offense, I don’t know much about you, but I did hear about your activities with your previous assistants. So why would you do it for me?” Because you’re different. Because you made me forget the world exists for two days. Because I didn’t feel like drinking when I was around you. Because I liked to hear your laugh. Because you’re smart. I wasn’t surprised she heard that—especially with Sara as her guide at the beginning—but what caught me off guard was a completely different thing. The sting of guilt in my chest was a rare feeling for me, but the burning paths of it hurt like a motherfucker. Never in my life have I been so embarrassed about something I did, nor regretted it. Yet two years after that episode, Haelyn was the only one to make me feel all three at once—guilt, embarrassment, and regret. And until now, I never cared about what people thought about me or what the newest gossip was. What bothered me was that Haelyn could hear it.”
