Sleeping With My Boss

NATHANIEL’S POINT OF VIEW

The moment she went inside the bathroom I put some clothes on and prepared a shirt and a new boxer for her to wear, since I already put her clothes in the laundry, and I went to the kitchen to cook us some breakfast. While cooking I can’t help but reminisce the hot night we shared last night, despite the fact that we were both under the influence of alcohol, I savored every move I made last night because it felt different. Just as I finished cooking she got out of the room, she’s leaving already?

"I see that you saw the saw the clothes I prepared for you and perfect timing breakfast is ready.” Wow, instead of saying good morning that’s what I tell her? Wow Nate amazing. I should have just said good morning or let’s eat.

“Thanks but I’m kind of in a hurry.” She said but I can sense that she’s lying. I mean, who starts the day without even having breakfast; and I’m sure that she has hang over.

“Come on, I insist and for your information a refuse of an offer is an insult, Miss Daniela” I used this line my aunt used to tell me when I was little and it works on me and hopefully it will with Daniela. She was hesitant at first but in the end, she obliged. I pulled a chair for her and she sat on it.

"Did you cook all this?" She asked and I smiled at her.

"Let me guess, you didn't expect I know how to cook?" I smirked at her and she looked surprised that I know how to cook. I need to know how to cook since I travel a lot  and I live alone, it’s costly to hire a maid just to do the cooking for me and it’s better this way because I know how I want my food to taste like.

"Why are you blushing?" I asked her and she ignored me. We ate in silence and it makes me feel weird because it’s so awkward, so I decided to break the ice.

"Can I drive you home after this?" I asked her and as if on cue, her eyes grew wide and she started to panic.

"I have a car... Oh crap, my car!!!!" She ran to my room and of course, I followed her. She went through her purse and she seemed to have found her key because she let out a sigh of relieve however she was still in panic due to her not knowing where her car is.

"Would you please calm down, Miss Daniela. My friend owns the club, there is no need for you to panic, okay?” I said trying to ease her anxiety and gladly, it worked. She’s now back to normal.

"Thank you." She thanked me and I smiled at her.

"Now, let us finish our food and I will drive you to the club after." I said and then we went back to the kitchen to finish our food.

After breakfast, she volunteered to do the dishes and I would want her to do it, but she insisted and before I could even allow or refuse, she was already washing the dishes.

As she was washing the dishes, I put her clothes in dryer because I know for sure that she’d be looking for them and of course, it  would be rude of me if I let her go home with my clothes; plus, I would look like a creep if I don’t give back her clothes. After putting her clothes in the dryer, I prepared myself since I’d be driving her to Robi’s club. I sat in the living room while waiting for her to finish the dishes.

"Where did you put my clothes?" she looks at me as though I hid her clothes somewhere.

"I washed them. Wait right here, I'll get them for you" I said as I went to the laundry room get her clothes and I gave them to her, and she changed her clothes.

It was another silent drive; I can’t handle this silence; it’s making me sleepy. I start a conversation.

“Uhm, how are you feeling, does your head hurt or do you feel dizzy?” I asked her concerned on how she feels because I can’t just let her have a major headache for the rest of the day.

“Well for starters, my head hurts like hell but I can manage. It’s just hangover” she said trying to act tough. To be honest, it’s obvious that she’s just acting cool.

As we arrived at the club, the bouncer seems to know why I’m here and led us to her car and off and I was about to ask for her number but I forgot when we got out of my car, I was going to ask for her number but I forgot my phone. What the hell? Now how can I keep in touch with her now? I got lost in my thoughts but was brought back to reality when a car honked at me and later realizing that it’s her. She thanked me and left. And I wasn’t even to ask for her number. Well, as much as I don’t want to sound like a creepy stalker, I’ll just ask some of my men to look for her.

As soon as I arrived my apartment, I called one of my dad’s investigators to look for her.

Few weeks later…

I just received a call from the investigator and told me he’ll be sending his complete report of Daniela into my personal email and I can’t hide the smile on my face. I’ve been waiting for weeks. I don’t how long I’ve been like this but what I do know is this is because of Daniela. It’s been weeks since we shared that hot and passionate night and damn, she was hot and the thought that I was her first made me smile wider. I don't know why. I've slept with some virgins before when I was still in the pre-adolescent stage but she's different. I can't explain it. I was brought back to reality when someone knocked on my door.

“Come in” I was pretending to be doing something on my computer and then my pregnant secretary, Ellaine, entered my office. She’s been working in the company for 4years and she’s one of my most trusted employees.

"Good afternoon sir. I would like to file for my indefinite maternity leave because I'm due any time soon." She said as she submitted her application for leave.

"Oh yeah, that. But before you go on leave, you must have a replacement." This will be sad because I don’t know when she’ll come back after giving birth because of course, she has to take care of her baby until he or she comes to the right age where Ellaine could get a nanny for the kid.

“You have nothing to worry about sir, my niece will be taking over me.” She said with an assuring smile.

“Alright, that’s good. When would she start then?” I asked

 “I’ll tell her to come in tomorrow so I could start teaching her what she needs to know.”

“That’s good. The earlier she comes in, the better because your baby probably couldn’t wait to get out from you belly.” I joked and we both shared a laugh.

“Ehem. Well, I hope your niece is as hard working as you are”

“You wouldn’t have any problems with her sir, she’s a diligent one.”

“Great, I can’t wait to meet her tomorrow”

“I’ll be taking my leave sir. Thank you for sparing a bit of your time”

“Of course, Ellaine. Oh, if you need anything feel free to contact these numbers”, I gave her a card of a list of contact numbers of some of my men to assist her in case she needs it. She thanked me once more before leaving my office. I hope the way she describes her niece is accurate so I wouldn’t have any trouble when Ellaine takes her leave.

DANIELA’S POINT OF VIEW

It’s been weeks since I lost my virginity to that handsome guy named Nathaniel. I didn’t get his full name though and he was gonna ask for my number, but he didn’t have his phone with him, so I just left, and I thought maybe that it’s just not meant to be. Maybe he’s just meant to be a one night stand after all despite him being nice to me on that day, he must do it to all the girls he has brought to his place and I’m just one of those whom he adds to his collection. But even though he might be a playboy, I keep thinking about him and his face, oh his handsome face.

“DANIELAAAA” I was brought back to reality when someone called from outside my apartment. I looked through the peep whole and it’s my pregnant aunt Ellaine.

Don’t me wrong, I have my own apartment because I want to live independently. My parents are still alive, and I have a twin brother, Daniel Louis. I left home because I don’t want to be my dad’s puppet; I don’t really want to run half of the Empire because it’s not what I want to do. I have always dreamed of being a professional photographer though, I want to tell stories through the images that I take but when my dad knew about it he scolded me and told me that my passion for photography will never be of use to our company and I got offended; I mean, how could he be so furious and numb as to what I feel? I never complained when he basically controlled my life for 24 years, even when the degree I took in College wasn’t what I really wanted but when I said I wanted to pursue photography after I graduated, he scolded me once mor and told me that I will be running half of the empire, it  really makes me feel as though I’m just a mere puppet to him and not his daughter and it was the last straw. I told him that can’t handle him controlling my life anymore and he said that I’m free to leave the mansion and I will not get a single penny from him and of course because of my pride I left the mansion. My mom gives me money though, but aside from that I also earn money from my photo-gigs and somehow I have managed and I used to not have a hard time with lot of suff because I had Gio but now, I’m all alone. I’m still struggling with the adjustments of just being me but I know that I’ll be able to manage somehow; it may not be as soon as now, but someday, I will be fully recovered.

“Hi Aunt, Ellaine! What brings you here today?” I said as I welcomed her with a kiss on the cheek. I led her to the living room and served her some biscuits and juice.

“Are you still looking for a job?” she asked after taking a sip of juice.

“I still am, why do you ask?”

“I recently filed for an indefinite maternity leave and I told my boss that you’ll be filling in for me” I’m surprised as to what she just said, she’s so nice.

“Really Auntie? Oh, thanks a bunch!” I said as I gave her a hug. The thing is, I have been struggling on getting a job because I’m always told that there aren’t any vacancies or I’m overqualified which I don’t think is true because there’s a huge possibility that my Dad’s got something to do with this but I will not let him prevail!

“Yep, and I’ll be giving you an orientation tomorrow. You know what to wear and be there before 8am, Mr. Smith doesn’t like late comers.” she explained and handed a handbook, I think.

“Of course, you know I hate being late and --”

“It’s better to wait than be the one that makes people wait” we both said in chorus and we both giggled.

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow Dani! I better go, I still have an appointment with my doctor.” She said as I help her up. Her tummy’s gotten bigger than a few months ago, her baby’s about to come out soon. I wonder how I would look like pregnant.

“Alright Auntie, I’ll see you tomorrow! Take care” I said as I walked Aunt Ellaine to the door.

Wow her tummy’s gotten big and she’s due to give birth any time soon and I know she’ll have a healthy and beautiful baby.

As soon as Aunt Ellaine left, I jumped and giggled with joy. I’m so happy that I’ll be working starting tomorrow. Finding a job has been rough for me because like I said, the possibilities of my dad pulling the strings from the shadows to prevent me from getting a job because he probably assumes that I’ll come back to the mansion begging for his forgiveness. Well he’s wrong, I am not backing down on what I stand for and what I want.
