The CEO's One Night Stand

A Shocking Turn of Events

Alexander’s POV

My eyes almost bulged out of my sockets when I walked into the interview room and saw that the person that was hired to be my assistant was the very same person I had a one-night stand with two nights ago. What are the odds? But I managed to be my usual cool and professional self and, hopefully, I did a good job at that. I could see the shock on her face when she saw me and if this wasn’t a nightmare in itself, I’d have burst out laughing, she could barely say her own name, it felt weird having to introduce myself to someone who barely two nights ago had been screaming my name with reckless abandon. I chuckled slightly to myself. After the introduction was done, she was told to resume duties the following Monday and as she turned around to leave, my eyes followed her, taking notice of how well her pencil skirt brought out her curves. I cleared my throat, hoping nobody saw me practically undressing her.

Saying my goodbyes to the interview panel, I walked out through the door I came in, heading straight to my office and immediately called Ryan. Ryan is my closest friend. We were roommates in college, then became as thick as thieves. We hang out whenever we can and it was on one of those hangouts with our friends that he goaded me into walking up to Ava. The guys had noticed her sitting alone at the bar, presumably waiting for someone, judging by the way she kept checking her wristwatch every few minutes and keeping her eyes on the entrance of the bar. I wasn’t particularly interested in her, but when they started applying pressure on me, I decided to give it a try and I’d like to think it was worth it. She was very beautiful up front, with hazel-coloured eyes that looked brown in the lighting of the bar. And her smile always reached them. Her cheekbones are well defined and angled. Her lips were full and heart shaped. She had long, wavy brown hair that reached her waist. And when she stood up to follow me out the bar, I saw that she was just a few inches shorter than I was, her waist small leading to a sizable behind. Seeing this made me unbelievably happy.

Ryan picked up on the second ring. “You wouldn’t believe what just happened”, I say to him immediately.

“What is it?”. He asked, sounding bored as he always does. “Remember the girl from the other night?. The one you were disturbing me to go talk to?”. I said.

“Yeah. What about her?”. He asked. “She just got hired to be my assistant”. I said. Silence. And then laughter. Loud, boisterous laughter. “You’re joking”, he said after he had calmed down and I had rolled my eyes 5 times.

“Why would I be joking about something like this”, I asked, impatiently. “Man, this is so funny. So, what are you going to do?”. He asked.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”. I asked, confused. “Are you actually going to work with her?. After what went down between the both of you?”. He asked. “Of course I’m going to work with her, we would just have to figure out how to keep it strictly professional”. I said, not believing myself for one second.

“As if”. Ryan said, snorting. “A lot of interesting things don’t happen in your life, I’m so shocked that this is even happening to you”, he said, chuckling to himself. “You should have seen her face when she saw me, she looked like she had seen a ghost”, I said, laughing. “You wouldn’t blame her, she didn’t think she’d ever see you again, after all she left your place without giving you anyway to contact her”. He said. “I know. Anyway, I have to get back to work. Later”. I said, “Later”, he said and hung up the call”. I lean back in my chair and let out a long sigh.

After a long day at work, I decide to head straight to the gym because, of course I have to keep my body in shape. I start with some weightlifting, painstakingly lifting the weights, feeling my muscles tense up after each lift. After about 30 minutes, I switch to the treadmill, setting a brisk pace, allowing my mind to shut down with as time passes

After an intense hour of working out, I’m drenched in sweat and I feel both exhausted and invigorated. I head to the gym showers for a quick rinse, letting the warm water wash away the sweat and tension from my muscles. Once I’m done at the gym, I make my way home, looking forward to a more thorough and relaxing bath. I fill the tub with warm water, adding some of my favorite bath salts for a soothing soak.

After drying off, I head to my wardrobe to pick out something casual but comfortable. I settle on a pair of well-worn jeans and a plain T-shirt, then I complete the look with a pair of sneakers. I grab my keys and head out the door, ready for a relaxing evening with Ryan.
