Chapter 6

Arrived in my office, not realizing how late I was. The time was eleven thirty in the morning. Yeah, that is right, I was so fucking late. I am never this late. I groaned to myself and walked towards my destination ignoring everyone. I was so pissed off, sure that sex was mind blowing but, I have never spooned, done that romantic shit and now I was paying the price for it this morning. I take a deep breath as I sit down, focusing on having a good day. I click on my two laptops and search my schedule for events happening today. My calendar shows that I have a benefit dinner tonight for some charity my company sponsors. This was set up prior to my election as owner, I love the old so much, he felt like an uncle to me so, I never cancelled it. I know it is a benefit that is personal to him. His son, he told me had been lost to drugs and suicide.
I attend the benefit, also knowing I could find a good man to wet my whistle. I smile as I think about that hottie last night. I then push it away and return to my work.
About an hour later, my cell phone buzzes, and Tiffany is telling me that she is stopping by to talk. I do not even time to respond before she is walking through the door of my office like she owns the place
“Girl, o.m.g! that girl last night was so talented, and so good in bed! I might be in love” she giggles. I laugh with her, yeah unfortunately for me Tiffany is a little Romantic.
“Well I am glad you had fun” I say with a smile. I start to feel that presence again. Like there is someone invisible in the room, which would just nuts.
“So, tell me, who did you find?” I smile
“Wait, are you fucking blushing? Did the mighty Velaria Connors meet a man who stole her heart” she says with sarcasm
“Fuck that shit! Yes, I hooked up, yes, he was beyond amazing in bed! He literally went all night long with me until this morning”
“Holy Shit” is all she says
“Tiffany, it is fine if you are in love but, I have too much to do” I tell her
“Vel, when are you going to settle down? Just wondering, I mean, I am hoping to, we may be hot but, we’re pushing almost twenty-five, how long can you only bang them and leave them?” she asks
“I do not have time or desire for romantic “soulmate, spend forever with me bullshit” she shakes her head at me.
“I just want to see you happy girl” I look at her perplexed
“I am?” she smiles dryly, “girl you know I love to party but, you work nonstop, you have all the money in the world, you never even take a day off barely except Sundays. Work, partying, and banging random men, I don’t know if I would call that happy” I start to get annoyed
“Alright, I have work to do” I still a presence in the office that I am ignoring, why do I feel like it just became angered by our conversation?
“Okay, I’ll go, I love you Vel. Take some time for yourself” I nod my head as she walks out the door.
I slump in my desk, A part of me knows she is right however, I do not want to do that shit. I know how it is to be madly in love. I see it in my parents eyes, I just have never really been interested since that one asshole in college. He showed me that not everyone has a happy ending, and love is not always nice.
I felt so in love with him, and he cheated on me. When I confronted him, he beat me, accused me of being a slut and cheating on him, not the other way around. I gave him my virginity; I had been with no one else except him. He had the audacity to be that cruel. So, I said ‘Fuck it’, I vowed to never fall in love again. I realized that my parents love was rare, and only for them or lucky people like them, not me. I grow tired of the lurking feeling, so I whisper “whoever you are! Fuck off!”
I head a faint growl which freaks me out then, I feel it leave. I relax and start to focus on my workday. After everything is done, I head home, figuring the man should be gone by now. I am happy when I see that he is however, I cringe when I see a note.

“Dear Beauty,
I did not get your name, and honestly, I was a bit shocked to awake only to be told that you left. Isn’t that normally what a douchebag man does? I will just leave this note and thank you for the best, mind-blowing night of pleasure I have had. If we ever meet again, I will show you how good it is to be mine for eternity! We can have nights like this, nonstop. I know you are thinking about it, I hope I am in your every essence until I make you mine!”
I read the note and shuddered at his words, a moan almost left my lips imagining the way he worshipped my body, like I have desiring in a man. He was such a good fuck! I am not going to give him that delusion that we are soulmates, bound together in love for eternity. That is silly sentimental bullshit in a Disney book. That is not reality.
