THE CEO LOVES ME

Wishful Thinking

My heart stutters slightly as I enter the room. Light pink curtains adorn the place and champagne bottles are dipped in ice, with one of them already open and poured into a glass that has already been tampered with.

“Richard” the voice drawls and I slowly drop the bags onto the floor to go to my room next door , for all the trips I have ever made with Theresa she has always given me a room of my own.

She’s a woman who likes her ‘privacy’ even if she is a well known business woman. “You know I will not be able to make it back in time” she speaks sweetly and my face heats up.

Theresa was a very demanding woman and her aurora screamed dominance so to hear her sound so submissive to someone surprised me. “The dinner I’ll be making you won’t be the only thing you’ll be eating.. ” she continues and I cover my mouth as if she could hear me breathe.

I shake my head going for the handle of the door when it creaks and I stomp my feet silently knowing that the sound did not go unnoticed by her swift ears.

“Anna, are you there ? ” she calls and I nod forgetting that she could not see me. “Just came to drop off your bags I was just leaving” I reply rolling my eyes when I heard her approaching footsteps.

She stops before me with the phone in her hand and mutters I will call you back to ′Mr. Richard′ on the phone. “So the gala is at 7 p.m ,tomorrow morning I expect my jewelry and Versace dress to be here before noon in case there is any need for alterations.”

I nod ignoring my buzzing phone as she goes on. “I expect your dress to be here also and your shoes and jewelry ” she smiles amusingly and I freeze.

“What? I mean thank you Miss Galore but why the change of mind? ” I speak baffled and she smiles broadly at me. “Let’s just have some fun yeah, lighten up a bit you work hard enough” she shrugs.

Actually freaking smiles and I grinned thanking her before being dismissed. I slip my keys into the lock of my door opening it and shutting it after me.

Before falling onto the bed in bliss , I couldn’t believe at the age of twenty-two I was going to be among the most influential persons in Hollywood at the freaking Gala awards.

I pull out my phone blushing at the message from Tristan

‘If you only knew how much I have prayed and confessed my love for you, you would never see a day where tears would stream down your face, for if they were I would kiss them away for you. I love you’

He was one of the best persons in my life always boosting my heart with confidence. He was my lover and I loved him very much. I couldn’t wait for all of this to be over to get back home to my love. Three months.

I responded with several hearts and a three word text confessing the mutual love between us both. A love that I was sure could never be broken.
