(9) Nostalgia and Start Overs
Xavier's POV
I curse under my breath as I look down at the vibrating iPhone in my palm. Getting a little irritated, I finally glance at the screen."We're not done here," I say sternly to Zoey before accepting the call when it rings for the third time."Hey baby," I sliently chaiste myself after realizing what slipped from my mouth. I really don't want to give this girl the wrong idea especially now since...Forget it.I shake my head in disbelief as I mindlessly caress my chin. I never thought seeing Zoey would be this hard. All my old feelings came rushing back to the surface, trying to suffocate me with so many buried emotions. It had gnash at my loosely bandaged wounds, effectively re-infecting my old scars.It seems like no time even passed between us. I'll be a fool to think otherwise though. If only I was just more open minded, things probably would have turned out differently. I can't erased what I did and I just haRelated chapters
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (10) Let The Games Begin
Zoey's POVThis wasn't a part of the fucking plan. Tears stream down my face as I recall that night when he told me he did not want a kid. Fast forward eight years later when I run into the same bastard and earlier than I actually anticipated. My body trembles as a new wave of fresh tears blur my vision. All those feelings from that night rushes back to me ten fold. My eyes water even more and goosebumps slowly dot my skin at the crippling memory. I lean my head back on the soft sofa, enjoying the sound of crackling charcoal. There's no need to cry. I repeat the small mantra to myself in hopes that these horrible feeling would go away. "Thought you might need this," I look up to see my sister with a wine glass and a bottle in her hands. She hands me the glass of what seem to be ruby coloured red wine. "Couldn't find anything stronger," "T-thank you," I reply hoarsely as I take the glass. I wipe the streaming tears from unde
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (11) Go To Hell
Zoey's POV I really thought I could do this but I am so wrong. Dead wrong. I am only seated for a few minutes and I already want to bolt. The man who fucked up my life is sitting directly across from me. His expensive cologne is which is already infused with the cool AC drift to tease my nostrils ever so often. I subtly press my thighs together shamefully ignoring the heat that is there. Goosebumps slow erect on my exposed skin and I can feel my mouth starting to go dry. I frown when my hard nipples brush against my bra. No, you hate this man! You're just slightly aroused because you can't find dem damn batteries for your vibrator. Satisfied with that I exhale softly and slowly as I gain back control over my body. I can feel his eyes drilling into the side of my face but when I glance over at him he is looking up front. Prolly, it's just me. I swallow painfully blinking back the memories that slowly flood my brain once agaon. I tremble slightly hating the sudden temperature dr
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (12) Tried and Failed
Xavier's POV I watch silently as she removes the sleek phone from her ear. Rolling her eyes, she stuff it in her bag then swing it on her arm in one swift motion. I bite my tongue harshly trying to not recall what almost transpired between us a few seconds ago. I'm very grateful for that phonecall; even though I have some sort of self-control another second and there's no telling what could have happened. My neck and face feels flushed as fuck just thinking about it; I can feel beads of sweat roll from my neck down my Armani suit. I wanted to kiss her badly but I ain't touching her until she begs me to. "I have to go and I am resigning," Zoey's clipped tone snaps me out of my thoughts. I plop back down on the chair watching as she slip on her other shoe. Without another word she sashays out the door leaving me by myself in her office. Groaning in defeat, I rest my face in my hot hands. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!" I breath out as I contract every muscle in my body to try and refrain from
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (13) Sandwiches and Talks
Zoey's POV "Yeah, I'll be there tomorrow," I say to Tracy who is on the other end of the call. Realizing how stupid I was being ealier I called her a few minutes ago to explain my abrupt absence today. I told her that I had preferred to work from home, which is not entirely a lie plus I'm not ready to disclose my planned resignation just yet. I have to find a whole other job first. "Thanks, goodbye." "So?" Jaz ask as she sip water from the huge plastic cup. We're currently sitting at a small quiet coffee shop not too far from the hospital Ethan works at. "According to her she had no idea the company was even sold until he came in this morning. Apparently some shareholder twin whatnot sold their part of the company to Xavier," I say before munching on my cheese sandwich. I moan lowly, enjoying the spicy cheese and crunchy bread that melts in my mouth. She makes a stank face at the mention of Xavier before fanning me off, "Per favore. I'm not talking about Mr. Big Bucks, I'm taking
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (14) His Truth
Xavier's POV The next day "I think this concludes the meeting for today." Tracy announce gaining everyone's attention at the table. Her shiny black straight hair bounce off her small shoulders as she stands. "Our lawyers will read through so we'll get back to you on that. In the meantime I'll call a meeting today to correctly inform the staff and give them a heads up," she sticks out a manicured hand towards me. "Xavier," "Tracy," I briefly shake her hand giving her a small smile which she returns. The rest of the board rises from their seats talking amongst themselves. "Good to see you again," "Same here," "I guess we'll be partners soon enough, huh?" "Can't wait for that," she lets out a awkward laugh before moving on to shake my lawyer's hand. Excusing herself Tracy joins the other men and women who are talking amongst themselves. She's obviously not too thrilled about the possible partnership but that's something she'll just have to deal with. I tuck my hands in my suit poc
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (15) N*****x and Dad Talks
Zoey's POV I prop my aching feet up on the footstool, my tired eyes lazily stare over at the large tv embedded on the opposite wall. The bright screen blur as my drosey mind wander back to the impromptu staff meeting today. I never even got a chance to tell Tracy that next week is probably the last week that I'll be working for her, for Stephen Enterprises. I really want to give her a heads up before I turn in that damn resignation letter, just haven't gotten around to do that yet. I've worked at that place for around four years, that's four long years of me putting in enormous amount of work to help keep the company afloat. As they say though, all good things must come to an end. It truly will be a bittersweet moment if I choose to quit. My stomach churn uncomfortably just thinking about it, I haven't even start looking elsewhere yet. I stiffle a yawn placing the back of my cool hand against my hot mouth. You know I'm not taking over the company right? It's just a partnership, I
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (16) Family Apologies and Expensive Gifts
Xavier's POVThe next dayMy fingers hug the smooth steering wheel of the sleek rental car. The melodic music that is emitting from the speaker gradually fade in the background and the very back of my mind, all I can think about is seeing my son. How will he feel about me? Does he know the truth? Does he hate me? I glimpse at the passenger seat. All the stuff I bought online yesterday is scattered all over the seat and the black car carpet. I didn't even have time to arrange them properly, I just threw them all in this morning. It would be a waste of time anyway since they would most likely fall off onto the car's floor. I shift uncomfortably in the leather seat, the phone call I got from Zoey earlier replays back in my head. The only thing she told me was that he was willing to see me followed by an address in Long Beach. I glance over at the GPS swallowing nervously as I inch nearer to my destination. I don't even have any plans for us today, as soon as I got the call I just too
Being With Mr. CEO (book 2) (17) A Xavier Free Night
Zoey's POV "So Xavier Danvers huh?" I hear Ethan mumble. Despite him trying to keep his voice at a neutral tone, I can still hear the subtle hint of distaste wooven in his words, even in the heavy traffic chaos he is currently trying to maneuver through. Instinctively, I swallow. Heat slowly creep up my spine despite the cool ac that is blasting out of the air vents. Quick flashes of Ty and Xavier chatting from earlier fill my mind. Tyler had been eagerly showing his father all evening, the simple game he had managed to finish create a few days ago. We had both shared a laugh at how enthusiastic the kid was... I bite my bottom lip to keep the joyful memories a bay. "I already told you..." I begin, but my words trail off into a dry gulp. Turning my gaze from the bright city lights, I face him. His features glow under the dim light of the car, especially the obvious tick in his jaw. "I know," Ethan cuts me off with a sigh. He glance at me and curl his lips in a sincere smile, "and I
