Forever Lost

Chapter two

****************************

"Hi Mr Austin,excuse me”

I said as I peeps into my boss's office.

"Hi Grace,I am glad you are back here. I am hoping you have settle with your husband."

"Sir, I'd like to take it but under a favor."

Here goes nothing,I say a silent prayer under my breath. I hope he gives into my demand.

"Sure,do tell.”

"Sir, I'd like a vacation after work,I would really love to take a break."

Mr Austin stared at me like I was someone else. “I know Mr Austin,I don't usually take a break but I am drowning” i said in my head

"Well,Grace, you are actually my favorite employee”

We all know Charlotte is your favourite employee, Mr Austin

“and I wouldn't mind if you do your work well and it's approved. I know you haven't taken any leave. Just get the job done"

Phew,I was scared he wouldn't give in but thank you Mr Austin. I owe you alot but he doesn't know that

"Yes sir,I will do just that"

I quickly ran out of the office to spread the good news. A good news that was well expected

*************************

"Paris!"

Charlotte definitely look more happy than I am. Now I wish she can come with me

"Stop it Charly, you don't have to announce it"

"It's a big deal,Gracey! This is like the biggest deal you ever had! I am so proud of you! I feel like screaming but Mr Austin will get my sack letter waiting “

I smiled

“You made the happen,Charly. You are my biggest charm”

“Oh come off it Gracey,we both know you deserve this and more”

We smiled, sharing the joy and love in silent

"True, how about Charles? What will you do about him?"

I was annoyed from just hearing his name

"I will leave"

"Just like that?"

"He wouldn't even talk to me,my plane leaves tomorrow. What more can I do? I will have to leave.”

Let's see how he feels when he's in my shoe

“Well,Charly. Will you help me pack up bags?”

“Sure Gracey, I have a lot to tell you about my clubbing yesterday”

“Yayyy” I jumped. I always love how she always have a story to tell. She can write a book about her life and it will sell within a heartbeat.

Charlotte pov

It's already 5pm. Time to clock out of this miserable office! Don't get me wrong,I totally love my job. I will always be ready to be a journalist again and again but I can't stand my boss always drooling over me. I get disgusted at times because it's a big no to work romance. I want to achieve my goals without having to sleep around. Don't get me wrong again,I love s*x but not just with my boss but I can still use it to my advantage. I really want to be helpful to Grace and I am happy she's at least happy with work. She doesn't have to think about that nut job of a husband while she works. It's like my little gift to her rather than screaming “I told you so” straight in her ear. Well, today is Saturday, Tomorrow is Sunday. What if I go partying? Should I call Grace? Let me try to convince her.

I picked up my phone and quickly dial her number.

Hi Gracey”

“Hi Charly”

“You sound awful,babe. Are you good?”

I guess this means she's not coming along. s**t! I knew what was coming next but I let her say it anyway.

“I feel terrible,Charly. I think I just need a long nap from now till Sunday evening”

“You should absolutely do that”

Well,I guess I have to keep myself company now.

“Why did you call? Need anything?”

“ I just wanted to let you know that I will be out clubbing”

“s**t! You wanted me to come, right”

“No way, girl. I can totally handle myself. You know me”

We both knew I was lying.

“I am so sorry,babe”

“Nah,let it go. Besides, Charles won't be happy you are clubbing”

He's never around to even find out and we both know

“f**k Charles”

“We know you can't actually f**k him” she laughed. Hearing her laugh reminds me of how pretty she is. She deserves better than Charles and we both know.

“Do you want me to drag my sorry ass and follow you”

“Nooo! Don't do that! You need rest. I will call you later if I don't pass out”

“Be careful and always turn on your location. I love you”

“I love you too”

I quickly hang up so I don't change my mind and make her follow.

Yeah,so I am probably going to be a lone wolf tonight.

10:30pm

“Hi Genny”

“Yo! you pulling up to the club tonight?!”

“ Of course!”

“I will come pick you up by 11:30pm”

“Sure thing. Let me get dressed and ready”

Thank goodness,Genny is going. I can finally go to the club.

11:30pm

“There are a lot of hot guys here” I tell Genny, screaming over the music.

“Yeah!do you want to go and dance?!”

“Sure” we moved to the dancing floor. Genny is the down street girl your mum will probably warn you about. I met her when I moved into the neighborhood. I didn't meet her in the neighborhood though.

We were both drunk coming from the same party and we figured out we stay in the same street. Long story short,we now attend almost the same party and she's always fun to hang and dance with. I felt the music passing through me like a wind.

Is this the alcohol manifesting or am I just feeling cold in a congested area?

Well, either way I am having fun but I needed more. Spinning around in the club looking for a hot guy to dance with,then I saw him and the alcohol dropped. I still can't tell if it was the highness that's making me see a god that just stepped out of a hot tub or I am really seeing a god that stepped out of a hot tub. All I know is that I want him.

Wait, he's coming this way?! I know I said I want him but not now! s**t!

“Hey pretty lady”

“Hi, stranger danger” I said while biting my lower lips. Stop it, Charlotte. Be cool. Don't flirt. Well,too late brain I guess I can't control myself.

Is it the way he touches me? I feel this burning desire. Trying to calm myself and I am just happy I am a girl. If I had a d**k it would be standing right now. Who is this stranger? His eyes are beyond sexy,I want to get lost in them and I am sure as hell it wasn't the alcohol talking. Is he feeling this hot tension too? Or am I just a drunk horny b***h trying to take advantage of this hot guy? Either way I want him on my bed and I will probably die of want if I don't get him.

“Hey,do you want to skip the dance floor?” I asked hoping I am not the only one getting this burning desire.

“Sure”his eyes light up like he has been trying to ask me the moment he saw me.

Am I happy? Definitely

Am I drunk? Definitely but at least I get to take the hot boy home. A win is surely a win.

I looked around for Genny, found her.

“Excuse me,l need to find my friend. Don't go anywhere “ I said walking towards Genny and hoping he's not all a dream.

“Genny” I tapped her. She was high too. I feel sad for leaving her but she will find her way. I have found mine.

“Genny,I am heading home.Will you be alright?"

"Sure girl,go have fun” her eyes sparkle as she looks beyond me.I think she noticed the hot guy waiting. Phew,I wasn't seeing things.
