My Twin Obsession

Chapter 10

I had somehow lasted the whole week in my new job as the personal assistant to two of the sexiest twin CEOs I had ever met or seen for that matter. To be honest, after that day in that dreadful conference in "Lucky" - that Adrian and Jake decided not to invest in after all- I didn't think I could do this anymore. But it was almost as if the twins had felt that I was reaching my limit, and they had backed off and left me to do my job almost completely alone.

Anything work related was either sent to me by email or presented to me with another person in the room with no innuendos or s****l tension. I mean, there still was some tension, but since our chemistry was so more palpable than with any other person I had ever met, I didn't think that it would be possible for us to have a conversation without any whatsoever.

I arranged their meetings, called their business associates, even started picking up their dry cleaning and sending flower to their dates with cards saying that "they should do this again". It was becoming clear that whatever I had thought I would be doing here was incorrect. Suddenly, my bosses had no interest in seeing me in person and I was in no way included in their daily routines. I felt like I was barely their personal assistant at all.

That is why I was so surprised that they still wanted me to go with them to the conference. Yesterday I had asked them again - in an email, of course -, whether it really was necessary for me to be there. The email from Adrian had been short - Yes.

He seriously wrote one word. After I went to talk to them, it turned out that their office was locked and even though I could hear them inside and I knocked at the door, they did not let me in.

Since we were flying out to Miami on Sunday morning, they were giving me Friday off, so I naturally made plans to release all my frustrations in a club today.

I packed my things, ready to end this day. I had to stay a bit longer today to make sure they didn't need me tomorrow, and I was desperate to finally get to my hairdresser and then meet Jesse at the club. Lucy said she might join us later, but I wasn't counting on it. That was fine, though, since I hadn't seen my oldest friend in quite a while, and I had missed him terribly. Since he had moved to LA he had completely disappeared on me, but I tried not to feel angry and simply enjoy every moment we were together.

As I left my office, I could hear the lock in Woodhouse's office door turn, so I quickened my step and almost ran to the elevator, not wanting to speak to them anymore. My day was done, so I had no desire to trade pleasantries with men who did not deserve them. After all, I would be seeing them on a Sunday morning. Damn them for making me be up at 7 o clock on a Sunday morning.

The time at the hairdresser's passed by quickly. I was a regular there and Susan gossiped about other regulars that I knew, making me laugh and thoroughly enjoy the process. I had let her do whatever she wanted today because I totally trusted her vision. Not once had I been disappointed in her work, and today was no exception.

She had cut and dyed my hair so that now they were shoulder-length and so dark they almost looked black. With my tanned skin and blue eyes even I had to say that I looked like a knockout. Now I just had to get back home and find a dress that would help me finally find someone and get laid.

The twins were driving me crazy and I really needed a release, especially if we were going to a conference in Miami. Just the three of us.

I was afraid something might happen, and I needed to be strong enough not to let them overpower me. I had never been more attracted to anyone and even though I knew I should never have a s****l relationship with my superiors, I wasn't certain I would be able to be with them for almost a week - it turned out we were flying back only on Friday, since Adrian thought it best to include some other business meeting as well, since we were there already - and not jump their bones.

That is why I choose the most form-fitting, tight dress that I had, put on my favorite stilettos and was at the Devil right on time to meet Jesse. When he finally arrived, the look in his eyes was one that I had never seen before. It almost looked like desire, and I was shocked to feel my heart beat faster just thinking about the fact that he could be looking at me like that.

I looked over my best friend, dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans, and I felt my mouth water. His hair was grown even longer and was now pulled in a man bun that actually looked sexy on him. His piercing blue eyes held mischief and the slight stubble made me reconsider why I had ever friend-zoned Jesse.

"Hi, beautiful, "he said and leaned in to kiss my cheek. And even though it was nothing compared to the chemistry I felt with my Woodhouse brothers, I grinned when a slight shiver run through my body.

"Hey, handsome," I answered and hugged him tightly. "You ready to get drunk and finally realize that you need to stay here?" I let him go and poked his cheek.

His answer was a wide grin of his own and, putting a hand on my lower back, he led me into the club.

This night might just be more interesting than I'd anticipated, I thought and we disappeared inside.

Little did I know that a man, standing outside and smoking, had been watching us the entire time. He sighed and pulled out his phone. "He won't like that," he murmured and pressed the call button.
