ALARIC
My office feels suffocating, I thought I left my past behind and now it's here ,
Haunting my very calculated life , I'm not the kind to let anything get in my way and certainly not an old enemy
The image of what happened two days ago at the shooting room are constantly floating in my head and I'm displeased with ever second of it
The thought of my lips on a man was disturbing in ever way and then he had the audacity to kiss me ,
A knock came from the door moments before Michael strode in " sir I think you have to see this " he place a file in front of and I took hold of it
My eyes scanned through the papers and with every word my frown deepened
" when was this ?" I asked him " two months ago sir by then we were so sure and we had a new stock
"Shit" a curse came through my lips
New York fashion week , we had to present something and we were a month due in time , I'm not proud to say we might not make it and NARVAYA might loss the opportunity, I might loose the opportunity
" how could you let this go on?"
" we were so confident on our last Head D sir "
Right , I brought this on myself I put too much trust on someone's work only for them to leave
This brand is know for being different not ordinary , I need something different
" sir I think you might have to work with Mr Liams on something new I'll have the design team on stand by to have them make all that you'll bring "
I forgot how dedicated this guy was to this job
After a moment of fighting with my conscious I turned to him
" bring me Mr. Liams " the order was made and with a nod Michael left
' I regret this already'
NOAH
I walked slowly into the office , I was always care free but now I'm not so sure of my life choices
" you called " I spoke to him , he was on his desk , his eyes trailed on my lazily , he looked like someone who invented arrogance cause he was sure full of it now
Why had I dare to even kiss anyways I would rather shame myself
" you work nine hours a day your office is the one outside near to mine anything you come up with is to be reported to me in an instant "
My brows pinched
" I don't follow" I said honestly and he rolled his eyes
"We need over forty designs in two weeks Mr Liams"
my eyes widened "forty! Are you mad?" His head snapped to my direction
" oh…. I mean … um that's a lot " I seemed to find the floor rather interesting at this moment
" if your not up for it hand over your resignation letter tomorrow morning " he was so close , our eyes on one level it felt intense
" I didn't say I was not up for it I just asked if your ...." The heat in his eyes got stronger " never mind " I said taking a step back
" I will be working with you … but it doesn't mean I fancy you in any way" he said glaring harder if that was even possible
" it's not that hard to notice… boss "
I turned and walked towards the door. I took one look back at him then left the room , I felt uneasy whenever he gave me that look , the look of pure hatred and unfinished business between us but then again I just met him
I got to my office , apparently the head designer gets his own closed off office that was near the department and had a back door that leads to the company owner's office …..great
I sat there and took out my file , I had a few designs sketched but I thought maybe I could doodle more
Something new something that earn his gaze for a second
Something that could make me keep this job
ALLARIC
I left the office at around eight pm , I was tired yes but the thoughts that were running through my head were a lot so I head of to a bar for some drinks
The smell of alcohol, sweat and misery hung in the air , a good place to drown my fucking life in expensive liquor,
I don't get easily drunk but it was my goal tonight , I'll have the driver pick me up anyway.
I had shots …. A lot if I'm honest
The music was loud and I was not a fan , made me wonder why I came here in the first place , I scanned the crowd of dancing figures at the center of the bar who were letting themselves go
Idiots
I took another sip and stood up to leave , I'll call my driver once outside but then someone bumped me
" oh sorry , didn't….. I … didn't mean to " he was drunk
I couldn't make out his face , I saw blur , I had too much to drink…. Which was the mission
I wanted to leave but the universe had other things in mind the guy I don't of me was pushed forward and stumbled into me
Our lips touched
This has to stop happening to me
I felt spark from the very area we connected and they went all over my body
The guy moved back " sorry… people ..people are pushy " he giggled my brain wasn't in the right place you count on my word because
I scoffed " they are " I held the front of his vest and slammed his lips on mine
Fuck
He didn't pull back … at all cause of anything his hand reached for my growing tent and squeezed it
Oh fuck it
