MEL POV
After my “date” or whatever with Leo, I decided to go back to the office and finish up some work.
I can’t be with Leo, I can’t deal with the pain again and I certainly can’t handle him and my job at the same time.
I want us to remain friends but I have a feeling he doesn’t want to be just friends by the way he keeps bringing us into the conversation.
” Melanie, can I speak with you for a moment?” David peers through the door as I sit on my chair typing on my computer.
“Of course, come in,” I said, David walked in pulling up a chair from the corner of the room and getting himself comfortable in it.
“Okay, so I’ll just get straight to the point. Mr Salvador wants you to work on a project with him which involves going to Greece for a few days” He said.
“Mr. Salvador’s assistant Floral will be going with you along with a couple of other members of the team”
“What kind of project?” I ask.
“He’ll tell you all the details himself and you also have to attend a gala so pack something nice to wear” David smiles leaning back in his seat.
“Why me? I’ve only just started here” I furrowed my brows at David and he opened his mouth ready to speak.
“He most likely sees potential in you and he wanted to give you an opportunity”
“I guess so” I huffed slumping down in my seat as David examined my face.
“I know it’s none of my business but did you guys know each other before working here?” David asked hesitantly causing me to groan.
I know I didn’t have to tell him the story or details but I felt like telling David about us anyway since it’s bound to come up in a conversation anyway.
There’s no point lying.
“He’s my ex” I mutter, David’s eyes widen in shock not expecting my answer.
“And… you’re fine working here with him?” He asks and I raise a brow at him which he seems to notice “Oh I’m sorry it’s none of-”
“Yes David, I’m fine working here with him” I chuckle nervously and he lets out a breath.
“Okay” He pats his knees before lifting himself off of the chair “That will be all” David smiled heading toward the door but not before he gave me one
last smile and finally leaves.
I’ve only just started this job and now I’m going to Greece with my fucking ex-boyfriend.
How nice.
******************************************
Back at my place, I decided to order Chinese takeout, I love baking yet I hate cooking so fucking much, it takes so much effort to cook and yet I don’t have effort whatsoever.
I sat down with my bowl of chicken stew in one hand and my TV remote in the other, I was flicking
through the channel to watch a movie until I heard a knock on the door.
Fuck.
Who the fuck would knock on my door at this time? the sky is already dark, It’s around 8 pm which means I could potentially get robbed or it may just be Charlotte stressing out about her wedding.
Groaning in frustration I left my food on the coffee table and stomped towards the door.
I opened the door carefully revealing the one and only… Leo.
“Oh Melanie, you look so beautiful” Leo slurred clinging onto the door frame to hold himself up, he was very clearly drunk.
His dark brown hair was messy along with his scruffy beard, and his tie was loosely slung around his neck with the buttons of his shirt undone.
His pupils were pure black and he smelt like drugs, alcohol, and sweat.
” Leo, are you high?” I raised a brow and he struggled to hold himself up.
“Do you have any whiskey?” He pushed passed me stumbling into my apartment he walked over to the kitchen rummaging through the cupboards as I stood and watched in amusement with
my arms folded across my chest.
He finally found the whiskey which was only half and drank it all.
“Fuck we need to buy you more alcohol” He groaned and I snatched the whiskey bottle out of his hand before he could do anything stupid.
I grabbed his arm and fuck, and I forgot how big he is and I lead him to the couch “You need to sleep, Leo” I urged him and he fell onto the sofa groaning.
“I don’t wanna sleep” He whined “I want to fuck you.
I knew he didn’t mean those words, it was just the drugs and alcohol talking.
“No you don’t, please go to sleep I don’t want you to hurt yourself” I tossed a blanket over him.
It felt weird taking care of him but I couldn’t just leave him alone being drunk and high and possibly getting himself arrested or worse.
“All I ever think about is you” He murmured clinging to the blanket, I decided that he wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon so I sat on the sofa beside his feet listening to whatever shit came
out of his mouth.
“I just want to fuck you all the time, every time I see you, I just want to bend you over my desk and pound on you so hard that you fucking scream”
He dragged on followed by a cheeky grin “I need you so fucking badly Melanie” He whispered causing me to chuckle.
“You’re so funny when you’re high” I laughed.
“I have a huge bulge here on right now, please could you help me?” Leo asked in a polite tone batting his eyelashes.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea but if it bothers you so much there’s a bathroom down the hallway” I chuckled but his face showed no sign of him joking.
“Do you always barge into your ex apartments while drunk and high or is it just this one time?” I joked.
“You smell so fucking good” He ignored my question sitting up from his laying down position “I want to fuck you Melanie, I’m dying” He groaned
placing a hand on my thigh but I didn’t remove it and my face lit up in a reddish color.
“Goodnight Leo” I smiled awkwardly getting up from the couch but he gripped my wrist before could go anywhere.
“Stay with me, I sleep good when you’re next to me” He mumbled.
After a few seconds of debating whether this is a horrible idea or not (which it is), I climb next to Leo so my back is against his front and he nuzzles his
head into my neck.
“Are you sure you don’t want to be fucked?” he asked.
No “I’m sure, go to sleep”
” Good night angel ”
” Good night Leo “
