My Undoing

Chapter 3- Right Through Me

Olivia's P.o.v

My alarm woke me suddenly and I knew I couldn't hit snooze like I normally do.I roll over on my side still feeling sore from the night before..... slowly getting up I feel my entire body cracking..."Wake up Liv.. WAKE UP..."

Heading to the bathroom my lips are not as raw as they were last night but I can see new bruises have formed around my neck from when he choked me......"Sh*t how am I gonna cover this up..." I take a deep breath and realize the time , no time to wash my hair this morning so I tie it in a bun and jump in the shower. I try my best to steady my breathing but don't have time to sort out all my issues this morning today was a big meeting i couldn't be late for, and i didn't wanna look like sh*t running into him.

I decide to put a little more effort into my look today and put on some makeup more than just my typical eyeliner and burt's bees chapstick.... plus i needed to cover the paleness of my skin and make it look like I hadn't spent half the night crying. I comb my messy hair and put it in a high bun.... And now the one thing I hated to do each morning, deciding what to wear. I'm sure other girls , skinny girls love getting ready each day but me.... it was a daily exercise in how not to get frustrated or try not to look homeless and actually to look like a 28 year old professional.

I decide on turtleneck tank, a pair of black skinny jeans and my green blazer. Putting on my small black wedged boots I give myself a quick lookover...."This is as good as it's gonna get"...i don't have time to drink my coffee so i pour it into my 99. cent travel mug and grab my bag. I don't have time for the subway and flag down a cab.. $27 later I'm in front of my office building Carson & Reigns..... I start running towards the elevator when my phone is going off, i was so distracted i didn't notice the person holding the elevator doors and ran into him. Instantly I felt the immediate pain as my coffee spilled and seeped in my bra.."F**k, Oh god.., I'm so sorry, Jesus ...."

"Are you okay?..." his voice was deep, but warm. Looking up I saw a pair of honey brown eyes staring at me with concern. He nealt down and started picking up the content of my purse "Seriously do you need something, that looked like it hurt..." I frantically shook my head, granted my chest was on fire and could feel the coffee dripping into my underwear at this point...

"No I'm fine really, just embarrassed. I should be asking if you're okay, did I get any on you?.." He helped me to my feet and standing face to face he's towering over me still with a concerned look on his extremely handsome features. He hands me my bag and i shift uncomfortably I see his eyes wander and I realize my shirt is now clinging to my body and is semi see through and I instantly blush.

"Nope ... completely dry, unlike you...?.. "

"Olivia, Olivia Vega..." Realizing we haven't pressed the buttons for our floor I frantically press the 36th button and look at him sheepishly waiting for him to tell me which button to press for him...."Well Ms.Vega it seems like we're headed in the same direction, my name is Owen , Owen Blake..."

He extends his hand but I'm too embarrassed to meet his gaze. The doors finally open when we're met with a stern, cold look from him.... the lion, my Leo....

"Ms. Vega what happened here?..." Me and Owen step out and I look at the ground, just as I'm about to open my mouth Owen interjects....."An unfortunate accident, completely my doing, Tell me Reigns are all of your employees as nice as Ms. Vega?.."

I can feel the heat spreading across my face when I hear the lion let out a small disapproving growl..

"Well Ms.Vega might I suggest you get cleaned up befor our meeting with Mr.Blake and see me in my office in 20..."

I take a deep sullen breath and clear my throat ..."Yes Mr.Reigns... is there anything else?..." Leo is glaring at me as if I had committed some huge infraction....

"No, ... Meet me in my office in 20 and make sure you have everything ready and you're..... presentable..."

He glance down at my shirt and exhales sharply.

As I begin to walk away Mr.Blake grabs my hand and starts to shake it and have to try to compose myself, I look over and see Leo clenching his jaw and holding his breath.

"It was lovely to meet you Ms.Vega, I'm looking foward to our meeting later.."

He leans in a little closer ..."And Olivia ...Try to stay dry..." I see a smirk forming on his full lips and I can't help but smile, but my smile is quickly erased by the death glare Leo is now directing towards me .....

I turn to walk away and hear both men laughing.... and fear hits me and I pray that what ever mood struck Leo will dissipate by the time I reach his office ..
