The Devils Lover

Chapter 3

» Maisey's POV «

I'm laying in my bed, I can't sleep. I came home like 30 minutes ago! it's past midnight, and I should actually be sleeping right now, 3 hours from now I have to be at East Corb. I can't be late again! but somehow I can't fall asleep, my mind is confused. 

On the one hand, I'm thinking about Elliot Gray, and that I want him and miss him. On the other hand, I hate him, I wish him nothing but badness in life. But he is so handsome.. always in a suit, always looking hell fine! my heart is pumping and my body is getting hot! oh fuck.. not again... 

Before I know it I'm moaning! my legs are shaking and I feel the c****x. Oh god! I just had an o****m by thinking of the man who broke my heart. Maybe I should call him? Ruin something, and get him to help me make it, or no .. it would seem too obvious .. as I lie and think I end up falling asleep.

 ~~~ 

Next morning 

*Alarm bipping* I stop the alarm and sleep on. 10 minutes later I look at the clock...

"Ohhhh f**k! NOT AGAIN!" I throw the duvet away and run out to the bathroom, I really don't know how I got ready so fast, and somehow I'm still standing in my living room. It's 06.50 AM! I have 10 minutes, I can't make it, I'm late again. Maybe I should call Carlos, he can drive me to work... but what if Elliot sees me get out of his car? Then he will think that Carlos is my boyfriend.. or maybe he doesn't give a f**k about me or if I'm dating someone else. I'm looking for my phone, I can't find it! Why can't I find my phone... While I'm looking for my phone, the doorbell rings. 

*I'm yelling* "this is not a good time!" I say while I'm open the door. 

And right in front of me, I see Carlos, like an angel sent from heaven. 

"I thought you might need a drive to work?" He said. 

"Perfect timing Carlos. I really need it today... I'm late for work."

"Get your stuff and let's go."

I find my phone, take my bag, and head downstairs with Carlos. Carlos is my co-worker from my second job. I get in the car and we drive towards East Corb. A lot of thoughts are going through my head. What if Elliot sees us? What if this is going to make him jealous? Somehow I want him to get jealous... I want him to see what I have lost. Ohh god! why does it happen all the time... I'm getting horny again. I shake my head and try to think of something else, I distract myself with what I can see out the window. 20 minutes later I'm standing in front of East Corb again. I'm 40 minutes late again, there was a lot of traffic. 

I get into the elevator and heading up to the 6th floor. I don't know why, but today I really don't care how I look. I'm heading towards Elliot Grays office and I hear a voice, 

"No! you can't go in there. He has a meeting right now" 

I look to my side and sees this beautiful blond girl. she looks like a model.

"I'm his assistant, I haven't scheduled a meeting today at this time" I respond. 

"Yeah, I know. Sorry, let me introduce myself; I am Helena. I am your boss when Mr. Gray is not around. He has a meeting with a woman. The meeting was spontaneous and, he has asked that no one disturb him while he has the meeting with her." 

I feel my heart drop! What meeting, with whom? Who is this woman? His Girlfriend? His s*x partner? Is he in love with this woman? - Million of questions are going through my head, and I look at Helena. 

"well, if I can't disturb him.. can we please keep quiet about me being late?" *I smile*

"Yeah, I will not tell him. It's our little secret" she smiles and walks away. 

I run into the bathroom and suddenly I start to vomit. What if she is prettier than me? *rinsing my mouth and looking at myself in the mirror* what if she is more attractive? what if ... what if he is in love with that woman! Why am I getting jealous? He is not my man, we are not In a relationship.. I don't have the right to be jealous.. or do I have the right? 

Timepass by and I'm sitting with the others drinking my coffee. I think they have been inside his office for 3 hours now. I'm looking at my phone all the time. Why is he not calling me? What if I didn't show up today? He really doesn't care about me. Suddenly I see the door open, I can't stop looking at the woman who comes out of his office... She is really pretty! Black long hair, big lips, and brown eyes. She actually looks a little bit like a famous person, you know the type of woman every man wants. 

I stand up, and rush into Elliot's office without knocking or anything. I'm standing right at his desk... I can smell something different in his room... I can smell s*x! He just had s*x with this woman for 3 hours! and 3 hours is the time I have been at the office, God knows how long time this woman has been in his office. I look at him, but he is not looking at me.. he's closing his shirt, his pants, and his belt is open... He doesn't even hide the fact that he just had s*x. 

"So you were late again today? What did I tell you yesterday?" He suddenly said. 

"Ehm.. see, I have a really good explanation... I was on my way, and then .. ehm... I... I couldn’t find my phone and... 

He stopped me, while I was giving an explanation

“I really don’t care why you were late. I told you yesterday that I don't like when people are late Maisey. If you are late again, I have to fire you! You can go now, or in fact, you can go out and buy a ring for tonight” 

He took his checkbook and wrote me a check. I got a glimpse of his ring finger, he still has the tattoo with my name in Chinese. 

“Why do you still have the tattoo?”

“I don’t think I need to tell you why. I am not accountable to you, and neither do I need to explain myself to you either.” 

“But it’s my name. I don’t want you to have my name on your finger. You lost that right 5 years ago when you didn’t show up at the airport!”

I looked him deep in his eyes. Why did I say that? Why Maisey, why! He is looking at me with his pretty green eyes. He is actually staring at me, I can’t quite figure out if he is mad or if I got through him. 

“What happened 5 years ago is past Maisey. I don’t live in the past. As I said, I don’t have to explain myself to you. Leave my office or you are fired!” 

“Fine! but I’m not going to dinner with you and Mr. Lee tonight. You can go by yourself and explain to him that you are a big fat liar!” 

Oh f**k. Why do I keep doing it? Why am I so angry? Last night I had an o****m just by thinking about him, and now I am mad! Is it because he doesn’t give a f**k. He is so cold, I have never seen him so cold towards me. But now it’s too late, I just told him that I’m not attending tonight. I have to stick to it...  I'm not the old Maisey. I can’t be the old Maisey.

Time passed by, and I was sitting at my table. I started daydreaming about Elliot Gray and me. Married, with children…suddenly I hear a voice, 

Ella: “Maisey?? … Maisey??”

I look up, and I’m back to reality. Ella is standing beside me and looking at me, 

Maisey: “What up? I know I was late again today, but I swear Ella it is not ....”

She stops me and laughs.

Ella: “I don’t care if you are late. You are not my assistant. I just wanted to ask you if you have any plans tonight?”

Maisey: “No, I don’t have any plans. Why?”

Ella: “Some of the employees and I are going to a karaoke bar tonight. I think it’s a good opportunity for you to make some friends inside the firm.”

Maisey: “I’m down, but.. is Elliot also coming?”

Ella: “No. He doesn't like to socialize.”

Maisey: “Then I’m 100% down. Thanks, Ella.”

Ella: “Perfect. I will text you the address and time for our gathering.” 

I look at Ella while she is going straight into Elliot's office. Why is she entering his office? Is she going to invite him to the karaoke bar? I hope so, I really want to see him tonight, maybe invite him up to my apartment and have fun with him. Oh… Maisey come to your senses, you can't… you can’t… you will just fall in love with him again. But what if I never stopped loving him? What if I have been in love with him all this time? I’m so confused. 

I look at my watch and see a text from Ella, she has sent me the address and the time. I knock on Elliot’s door. 

Elliot: “Come in!”

I open the door and carefully I walk in and stand in front of his table. He is so handsome! 

Maisey: “Ehm... I have done all the work I needed to. If you don't need me, I want to go home and get ready for tonight.”

Elliot: “Ready for tonight? You canceled on me?” 

He looks at me with his pretty green eyes, I can see that I have f****d up. But I have to stay strong, 

Maisey: “Yeah tonight. I’m going to the karaoke bar with Ella.”

He looks away, why does he look away! I want him to look at me, I want to look into his eyes and read his mind, trying to figure out what he is thinking. 

Elliot: “Karaoke bar? mhhrr.. yes you can go home.” 

I turn around and I’m walking towards the door, and suddenly I hear him say,

Elliot: “Maisey, wait”

My heart beats faster, he said my name! I stop walking, and I turn around and look at him. Maybe he will talk about our past, tell me that he is sorry, that he still loves me. That he wants to get back together!

Maisey: “Yes Mr. Gray?” I looked at him and tried to look as sexy as I could. 

Elliot: “Don't be late tomorrow, or else I have to fire you!” 

Fuck! Why is he so cold? Is it that hard to say you are sorry? or to stand up and kiss me. I really want him to make out with me at his office table. Now I’m daydreaming again, my body is getting hot again! I have to hurry up and go out before I jump on him. 

Maisey: “I promise you, Mr. Gray, I will try to be here at 07.00 AM tomorrow!”

I went out of his office and closed the door behind me.
