♣️
Of all the things in the world, I hate the most when someone avoids me.
It just drives me crazy.
And Alexander is doing just that.
He's been avoiding me for a week now, and it's super visible, at least for me.
At work he does his best not to be seen, he didn't even invite me to the meeting with Mr. Smith about their project.
I found out about the meeting from his staff and I was devastated.
I provided him with this contract, and he didn't even bother to invite me to the meeting as he should because I'm still his assistant.
Every night at dinner, he avoids my gaze and talks with Stephanie about things I can clearly see he is not interested in.
But of course, Stephanie is so happy with the attention she gets from her husband. Her face is shining with happiness while she always finds a way to touch him and show affection.
Disgusting.
Everything between them in public is so fake and unnecessary.
I think everyone in this mansion can hear their fights every single night. I mean it's not that hard by the way she screams with her annoying voice, I have to put pillows on my head to not hear them.
Why does he think that pretending to be a man with a perfect marriage works out for him?
They fight so much that they don't even find enough time for Emma.
Ava and I are the people who spent the most time with her, and that's crazy. You can't ignore your child this way. Especially someone like Emma.
With a tired sigh, I entered the kitchen, removing the heels from my feet.
Paradise. I feel my legs again.
Today at work was boring, I almost fell asleep on my desk. I had to drink 3 coffees to keep me awake.
Ava was in the kitchen cleaning the fence, and she smiled once she saw me. Ava is starting to put down her walls for me. This one week I spend with her while we take care of Emma I get to know the real Ava. The funny, crazy, amazing, caring Ava. Not the one who's not talking and it's blushing to my every word.
"Tonight you're free right?" I asked, sitting in one of the chairs, and Ava looked up at me from the counter with a confused look.
''Yes, why?''
"We are going to a club tonight."
"What?"
"You heard me, Ava"
I like how innocent she is, but that will change. I won't let someone hurt her just because she is a nice and pure person and boys nowadays love to do just that. They enjoy destroying innocent girls for their pleasure, but I won't let this happen with Ava.
"I can't, Miss Carson."
"Amera" I corrected her with an annoying voice.
And just when I think she is starting to feel comfortable with me, she takes steps back and it's annoying me.
"Amera" she nodded "I'm at work tomorrow."
"Me too" I said while raising my eyebrows "so what?"
She opened her mouth to say something but fell silent because she knew she couldn't say anything to change my mind. I can see how nervous she is by the way she plays with her little hands.
"I've never been to a place like this before" she whispered, her cheeks flushed red
She is so sweet.
"I know" I nodded "That's why I'm here" I winked at her, and she laughed slightly.
"Be ready by 10"
''Be ready for what?''
The low dominant voice filled the room, making Ava look down instantly in fear, and I looked disinterestedly in the direction of the kitchen door, where Alexander was leaning against the wall with his shirt slightly unbuttoned, showing his well-shaped chest, making me bite my lips.
I imagined sliding my hands all over his naked body as I kissed his neck and him groaning my name in my ear. His hair messy, sweating while he's fucking me, biting his lips, with his hand wrapped around my neck
Focus, Amera!
I kept my eyes on his tired face, as much as I wanted just to stare at his body all day, but I would never give him the pleasure of seeing me so needy.
"We're going to a club tonight" I said, and he raised his eyebrows as he looked between me and Ava
"Club?" He tested the word on his tongue. "You're both at work tomorrow" he pointed out, and I rolled my eyes.
"We know Alexander" I rubbed his name, and he titled his head to one side with a cold look still on his face.
"But my working hours are over, and Ava's are over after...'' I looked at the watch on my left wrist. "Exactly 2 hours, so you have no right to tell us what to do '' I put on a fake smile in response.
He laughed under his breath, showing his beautiful smile, making my legs soften. He is so fucking attractive when he laughs, it has to be illegal.
"This mouth will get you in a lot of trouble one day, Amera" he nodded at me with a serious look
"That's my problem, not yours" I smiled back challenging him
His eyes are locked with mine, not giving a single glance at Ava. I see the way his chest is rising, clearly mad from my attitude.
"Who even allowed you to talk to the maids?" He hissed, looking between me and Ava. "I thought Stephanie told you the rules."
Oh Hell No. You didn't just say that.
I got up from my chair and took quick steps to stand right in front of him. I looked up because I'm short compared to him, but that can't stop me from looking up proudly with confidence while he is looking at me with a challenging face.
I rose on my toes, just to be close to his face, without touching him but even the feeling of being so close to his body made me shiver. He parted his lips slightly, looking down at me.
Our bodies inches away, his eyes locked with mine and I can see how he is fighting with himself to touch me, just like I do.
"I think you already know I'm not playing by the rules" I hissed against his lips, and he raised his eyebrows, looking at my lips. "Let's not forget that you owe me because the only reason you got your deal is because of me'' I smiled with confidence, looking down at his bare chest, I saw his skin tingle.
"So let's put it this way for you " I spoke again slowly, studying his face. "You got the deal you wanted so bad, that means I can do whatever the fuck I want while I'm here, isn't it fair?" I raised my eyebrows defiantly
He looked at my face, his eyes too cold and dark, and I know he didn't like my response. Alexander is not a man who likes when someone speaks back at him or has an attitude, it's visible. He is a successful businessman with an empire behind his back and wife doing everything he says so the amazing look on his face is more than normal and expected.
I'm not his wife and I won't do what he wants.
"Let's say, it's fair" he nodded slowly, saying the words not very pleased.
"Thank you, sir" I said with an innocent voice, looking at his lips for the last time before leaving the room, knowing that I was leaving him completely speechless.
You can't play my game, Alexander, no matter how hard you try.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Ava looked too scared as I led her through the crowd trying to reach the bar.
I can see how uncomfortable she looks when a boy dared to look at her, and trust me they are a lot. She is a beautiful girl and it's normal to get attention from boys, but that's something she is not used to.
Amera:
Ava:
I'm sure she is a virgin.
And that's sweet but I don't think that the person who will take away your virginity has to be special. Sooner or later everyone will fuck you up and betray you, so what's the point of waiting for that person?
I learned it the hard way.
I looked at the tattoo on my wrist for a few seconds, but I quickly looked away, taking a deep breath.
I reached the bar, and Ava stood beside me. I looked at her as she scanned the place.
"What do you want to drink?"
"I don't know" she shrugged innocently "It's my first time drinking "
I nodded understandingly and turned to the boy at the bar who makes the drinks, who was already looking at me or more like checking me out with a smirk on his face.
"2 large vodkas, one pure and the other with coke"
He nodded with a big smile, before handing me the drinks.
"From the club" he winked at me, and I replied with a fake smile
"Thank you handsome" I winked back, before turning my back on him and handed the drink to Ava.
She looked at the glass confused, then at me.
"What's this?" she shouted through the loud music
"Just drink" I shouted back, taking a large sip of the drink that instantly burned my throat.
I missed that feeling.
Ava followed me, her face making a funny grimace, and after swallowing she coughed, making me laugh.
She will definitely remember this night for a long time.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
I don't know how much vodka we drank, but it was enough to make my head spin. I wasn't drunk because I have to drink too much alcohol to get there, but I was still tipsy. Unlike me, Ava needed exactly 2 glasses to get drunk.
We danced and just seeing her smile, having fun warmed my heart. I want her to be happy, and I don't even know why. I am not a person who is easily attached.
But that girl got under my skin.
I saw me in her before I became that bitch I am now. I want to protect her from the things I failed to protect myself, and I would do everything to keep my promise.
Two boys approached us, apparently drunk too. The black-haired guy placed his hands on Ava's waist, which she didn't pull away, but pushed her body closer to his.
The other boy approached me, doing the same and I had a chance to look at his face. A handsome young boy, probably my age. Blond tousled hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful body. That's all I see in him.
Nothing to grab my attention.
Because it's not Alexander.
I tried to keep that voice out of my head, but deep down I know it's right. Alexander penetrated deep into my skin. I wanted him and it's killing me slowly that I don't have him yet.
This boy in front of me, I'm sure he can't even give me half of what a mature grown man like Alexander can.
I won't be surprised if he can't even make me come.
Not that I have much experience with men, I only slept with 2, but only Jacob managed to make me come, which is a pity.
The other boy I slept with was the night after I found out Jacob is cheating on me. I wanted to hurt him, so I fucked his friend. Close friend.
But in the end, I only hurt myself, because the sex was awful, he had no idea what he was doing, his dick was small, and didn't know how to pleasure me.
Oh and after that, he told me he likes me since I started dating Jacob and would like to give him a chance.
Men are completely useless in this world, and if we didn't need them to have kids, they would be an endangered species.
However, for fun, I could close my eyes and pretend to like the view of this boy in front of me.
I drank the shot and looked at the boy, who smiled at me.
"Gabriel" he shouted in my ear
At least I like his name. Not that I will remember it.
"Amera" I shouted back
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl"
Did he think this line impressed me? He could've been more creative with these pick-up lines.
I covered my laughter with a smile and just pulled him by his shirt before connecting our lips into a kiss.
He is a good kisser, and for sure, when he's not talking, he's more attractive.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting his hands go down to my ass, squeezing it, making me groan.
I need to get laid.
