His Secretary

4

Christopher's POV

Waking up with Amelia in my arms is amazing, her head felt just right on my chest, my arm wrapped around her waist perfectly. Her face looked so peaceful as she slept. I remove a few strands of hair from her face, then kissed her forehead. Waking up like this everyday would be a dream come true.

I couldn't help but worry as I looked at her sleeping form. What will happen when she wakes up? This would surely change things between us. Will she hate me? No! no! no! that won't happen…

Overthinking and worrying will surely do me no good. Breakfast! I'm going to make my Lia breakfast, after all the calories we burned last night she would need a proper hearty breakfast. I moved my arm from a body, gently laid her on a pillow and covered her with a blanked.

She didn’t wake up as I moved her from my chest to the pillow, did I over do it last night? Hopefully not, after all she did seem to enjoy as much as I did. Just the thoughts of last night, my lips makes a soft smile. What a night!

Collected our torn up clothes from the floor. I wasn’t planning on throwing then away so I put them in a one of the closet drawers. Amelia would need something to wear when she wakes up, I got sweat pants and T-shirt for her, got another set for me too, then went to the bathroom.

After freshening up I headed to the kitchen and started working the breakfast. I'm thinking scrambled eggs, bacon, some mushrooms, toasted bread, orange juice for her and coffee for me. Sausages and tomatoes, Amelia was not much of a big eater but I hope she’d enjoy the food I'm prepare. I went back to the bedroom to wake her up, although I don’t like the idea of waking her up, it's past 11 am and she needs to eat.

“Lia"

“Time to wake up sleepy head" I couldn't help the smile on my face as she turned to the other side in protest.

“Mhm-mm…” was all she responded with.

I started placing butterfly kisses on her back, from her neck to her shoulders, while tickling her waist, successfully disturbing her sleep.

“That tickles" she sat up chuckling.

“Good morning"

“Morning" she responded quietly, looked anywhere but at me.

“I'm getting breakfast ready, why don’t we eat first, mhm?”

She nodded her head and took a glance at me

“Do you uhm… have a spare toothbrush?”

“Yeah, I prepared other things you might need as well” I pointed to the bathroom door.

She nodded her head and got up from the bed.

“uhm… I'll be in the kitchen" I also got up and headed to the kitchen to finish up on the breakfast.

When Amelia got to the kitchen I was already sitting down waiting for her

“Thanks for the clothes"

“I'm sorry about your dress” she was wearing my sweat pants and t-shirt I got for her. Her hair was down, I could tell she combed her fingers through it to make it less messy. I loved how she looked in my clothes and all I wanted was to cuddle her up.

“ ’s okay"

She took a seat and we started having breakfast in an awkward silence.

“About last night" she paused for second “I shouldn't ha…” I interrupted her before she could finish that sentence of regret-

“Amelia, we both adults. Last night it was just two adults enjoying their themselves, not Mr. Hastings and his secretary, okay?”

I understood that our work relationship was made this situation more awkward, I can only hope that she looks past our work relationship. She looked at me with hesitation and worried eyes.

“Hey, none of that! How about a bath after breakfast, you must be... sore from… last night" I added. She instantly bl*shed and looked down.

“Was I too much?”

“Uhm… it was … it was okay… I liked it...” Lord, the pink darkened on her face….

“Liked it, huh" I repeated the words slowly. She like it!

“I.. I.. I should head out now" said Amelia standing up.

“No! no! Not yet” I hurried to stop her

“I mean the… the bath, why don't I prepare a bath for you first"

if I can just get her to stay a bit longer, just a bit longer

“It's alright Mr. Hastings I ca-"

“Chris, just Chris”

Mr. Hastings!? After all we did last night Lia! Really?

“I'll dri… I mean can I at least give you a ride?”

“Uhm… yeah" she replied nodding her head

Amelia's POV

It was a silent ride home, an awkward one.

I just slept with my boss!

What on Earth was I thinking!

Exactly! I wasn’t thinking at all.

Oh Lord!

What will he think of me now? I literally threw myself him, I initiated the kiss! I let him take me home!

It's okay Amelia, it was just a one night stand. Just grown ups enjoying themselves, nothing more. It was just a one time thing.

I'm sure it was a one time thing. Mr. Hastings was known for taking different girls home, never the same girl twice. Paparazzi always caught him bringing different girls to different hotels, it happened so often that is wasn't even news anymore.

He parked next to my apartment building and I hurried out of the car, “Thank you Mr. Hastings” I closed the door before he can't respond and rushed into the building.

I sighed in relief after closing my apartment door. I know I did not have to run away from him like that. I could have handled that better, like a grown up, but tell that to my panicking head. I need to calm down, I slept with him, so what? these things happen all the time, right?

But not with me. I have never had a one-night-stand, hook-up or whatever they call them. That's not me, I don't f**k around. Calm down... I need to calm down.

I take a quick shower and get into some comfy short and an over sized t-shirt. I fold his clothes nicely and look at them thoughtfully. Now do I return them or what?

No! I can't return them.

No! Not an option!

What if he thinks I'm looking for a chance to turn last night into something more? After all, I did throw myself at him!

But they might be expensive so I can't just throw them away. But then again it's just sweat pants and a t-shirt how expensive could it possibly be? Whatever! I can just keep them and give them back if he asks for them. Only if he does ask for them!

I go to bed hoping to get some more rest, only I don’t.

I kept replaying everything that happened between me and Mr. Hastings.

How can he so good at pleasuring a woman? Not to mention the stamina of that man!

After all the women he's been with, it does make sense. Practice makes perfect, I guess. He even cleaned me up with a warm towel after, talk about being a gentleman.

And how thoughtful of him to prepare me clothes to wear, I am going to miss my dress though.

I give up on trying to sleep and take a look at Mr. Hastings schedule for tomorrow. Nothing hectic for tomorrow on his schedule, again that is no surprise. His Mondays are always easy going, never too much work on a Monday for him.

Things about Mr. Hastings that I have noticed when it comes to his work schedule.

Mondays and Fridays are always easy going.

He doesn't work on weekends, unless if there's an event to attend.

Tuesday to Thursday are full on work days, sometimes with overtime.

As his secretary, I love his schedule. Even though I hardly have any plans on weekends, it gives me time to relax. It's fair to say for the paycheck I get, my job is pretty easy going.
