Chapter 8
Lying in bed with my fiancee, yes that’s right I’m engaged, I can’t stop smiling. Anyway, lying in bed cuddling Trent in the most comfortable silence, “should we have an engagement party?” he asks as he pulls me closer and kisses my temple. “haven’t thought about it, I’m still trying the get my head around it" I snuggle closer to his chest, running my finger lightly over his toned chest, he’s just so perfect.
“We better tell my folks, I know they’ll want to throw a party. You could invite Danny and Liz?” he turns to face me, pecking my lips.
“Yeah, I’ll call them later.” I say in between kisses.
“If we don’t stop, we’ll never leave this room again” I squeal trying to get out of his tight grip. After a heavy make out session, we head out to tell Trents parents of our engagement. On the way there I call Danny to tell him and Liz.
“You don’t sound very surprised, Danny?” I say after I broke the news. I could here Liz screaming with joy in the background.
“Well Ave, Trent did ask my permission, you know" he chuckles down the phone.
“What? When?” I ask turning to face Trent who is focused on driving.
“He called the other week, he’s a good guy, he proved that after my dads behaviour. Avery, I’m happy for you, you deserve this" I end the call and turn to face Trent again. We’ve just pulled up to his parents house
“You asked Danny’s permission?” I pull him into a passionate kiss.
“Yeah... I know Danny is an important part of your life, and I wanted his blessing baby" he says cupping my face in his hands and packing my lips.
“Come on, Mum is hanging about the door waiting on us" he says as he pulls away and exits the car. Just as well the car has tinted windows or Hazel would have seen it all.
We go inside and everyone is there, Trents parents and Aiden with Donna. Trent nervously tells them that he proposed, the room is quiet you would literally hear a pin drop, when Donna and Hazel break the silence with an ear breaking scream. Yes they are happy if you didn’t already guess. Almost instantly, Hazel has started to organise an engagement party and has started ordering the guys around telling them their duties for the up coming event.
We eventually get Hazel calmed down enough to sit and eat dinner, the conversation quickly turning to the wedding itself. “we cant get married before Aiden and Donna” I state, trying to be sensible about it. They were engaged before us so its only fair. The conversation goes back and forth discussing dates and venues. Donna and Aiden have been engaged for nearly a year and haven’t made any plans to set a date but they don’t have a choice now. Trent wants us to be married within a year, so his brother will have to do it with 6 months time so we can prepare, according to Hazel and Philip.
After a few more hours discussing the wedding Trent and I say our good byes and head home. I just cant seem to take the smile of my face. As I glance over to Trent driving, I just cant believe I’m going to be married to this man. He’s amazing, kind and not to forget absolutely gorgeous. “Avery, what you looking at?” Trent says breaking me out of my daydream. “Just thinking how lucky I am" I say as I try to hide the blush on my face. “I’m the lucky one. I’m going to be marrying the most beautiful, sexy and caring woman in the world" I just cant hide the blush anymore. How does he do it? I’m totally in love with this man. I never in a million years thought I would be in a relationship with anyone like Trent.
Once we get home, we both head up stairs to get ready for bed. It’s been an exciting day and we are both tired. I head to the bathroom to freshen up, just as I’m brushing my teeth, I can see Trent in the corner of my eye by the bathroom door. “sexy!” he says as he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me back against his chest. “how can brushing my teeth with toothpaste running down my chin be sexy?” I asked as we make eye contact in the mirror. “I was looking at the way your ass moves with you brushing" he says as he kisses the side of my neck leaving me with goosebumps all over my body. “Really? My ass is sexy?” I asked turning around to wrap my arms around his neck. He lifts me onto the bathroom counter, squeezing my ass in the process. “Its not the only thing that I find sexy, princess" he says as he kisses down my neck and jaw. Soon we are having a moaning make out session in the bathroom, both standing naked our hands and lips exploring each others bodies. Trent carries me to the bedroom and drops me on the bed landing on top of me, managing not to hurt either of us, still continuing our make out session. He slides his hands between my legs and without any warning starts to thrust his finger into my p***y. “mm, baby I love the way you are so wet just for me. Only my for me" he moans as he trails kisses down my neck. “trent” I gasp as he slides another finger in. “so tight, baby... I love it, I love you" he mumbled against my skin as he starts tuck lightly leaving his mark on my body. He rolls me over so I’m lying on my stomach, I turn my head back not sure exactly what he is planning. He starts to kiss my back starting at the top of my neck making his way down to the top of my ass “so sexy" he says as he slaps my ass lightly. I gasp, not expecting him to slap me. He rubs where his hand landed then lifts me slightly so I’m on all fours. “Trent, what....what are you doing?” I ask through my pants. I gasp as he pushes his rock hard c**k into my p***y from behind. “oh fuck...Avery, I just want to see you ass bounce baby, while I make love to you... oh god, so tight" he pants out as he slams into me. It doesn’t take long before I feel the tightening in my abdomen and my o****m takes over my body. As Trent continues to slam into me, the room is filled with heavy breathing, panting and s****l moans. It doesn’t take long for Trent to reach his release, as he pulls out and unloads on my ass. “f**k, that was amazing baby" he says as he lays down beside me, I’m still on my front unable to move as his c*m is on my back and ass. Trent gets up and heads to the bathroom and comes back with a damp cloth and cleans me up. Once all clean we climb under the covers and he wraps his arms around me, caging me against his chest. He places kisses along the side of my face and up to my temple. “I love you Avery, so much. I cant wait to marry you" he says as he pulls me tighter to his chest. “Trent, I love you more babe. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever be this happy" I say as I turn around in his arms to rest my head on his chest.
A few days have past and the news of our engagement has spread throughout the building. A few of the females workers have been making some rather nasty comments about it. I over heard a few in the bathroom, to say I was upset was an understatement. I was in the stall finishing my business just getting ready to leave when I heard 2 girls come in and I knew instantly that they were talking about me. “What does he see in her, she is so plain?” one of the women says to her friend, “I know, you would think being a CEO who would look for someone of better status. I heard she has no family and used to be sell her body, obviously didn’t do a good job, her body isn’t even nice.” The friend says. I stay still taking in all there comments. As the tears roll down my face, I cover my mouth to stop me from sniffling. They eventually leave after a few more comments, about how they are going to break us up at the upcoming charity event, how they will get to be the next Mrs CEO.
I leave the cubicle and was my hands and face whilst trying to calm myself down. I look at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes are a little puffy and red, you can tell I have been crying. I reach for my phone from my purse and text Donna asking if she has anything to help reduce the redness of my eyes. A few minutes later she storms into the bathroom locking the door behind her. “Why have you been crying?, what has he done?” she throws questions at me as she pulls out her makeup bag from her purse. “Trent hasn’t done anything, I’ll be fine” I say as we get ready to leave the bathroom. “Avery, tell me what made you upset?” she pulls me back from leaving. “Just office gossip, don’t worry” I say not convincing at all. “Fine, but if I hear what has been said I’ll have to tell Aiden” she states as we go our separate ways.
Sitting back at my desk, I get back to work replying to emails and checking the schedule. Just then the elevator pings, alerting me to the arrival of someone. I look up from my desk to see a tall, slim blonde haired lady walking towards my desk. “Good afternoon, how can I help?” I say in my business mode but in my head Who the hell are you? “You are clearly new, I’m Melissa Steele” she tells me. New? Bimbo. “How can I help Ms Steele?” again business mode. “I’m here to see my boo?” she says as she starts to walk towards Trents office. My Boo? What the f**k? I follow her, “Ms Steele you can not just walk in like this, Do you have an appointment?” I ask her as I manage to grip gently her wrist to stop her from walking in on Trent who is in a meeting with Aiden. “I don’t need an appointment to see my Boo, so remove your hand now, b***h” she sneers in my face. “Well Ms Steele, Your boo, is in a business meeting and as his assistant, I know you have no appointment, so please if you take a seat in the waiting area I will inform Mr Colton of your arrival.” I tell her as I lead her away from Trents door. “Fine, but tell him to hurry up, I don’t like waiting” she spits at me as she takes a seat. I simply nod my head as I retreat and head to Trents office, not caring what meeting he is in the middle of. I knock his door and without waiting for a reply, I enter his office. “Avery, can you give me 10 minutes we are almost done” he says sweetly. “Sorry, but you have a visitor who is refusing to wait” I tell him, anger slowly building up inside. “Who? I don’t have any appointments, do I?” he asks, “A Melissa Steele, demands she sees her BOO now” I spit as I leave his office slamming his door behind me. I could see as I said the name his whole demeanour changed and the look on Aidens face tells me this is not what they were expecting. “Mr Colton will be out shortly Ms Steele” I tell her as I take a seat back behind my desk.
A few minutes later Aiden opens the door to the office and comes over to stand beside me as Trent walks out and straight over the his BOO. The blood in my veins is boiling as I try to busy myself with emails but end up just slamming the keys on the keyboard in anger, Aiden reaches over and places his hand on my shoulder to calm me down. I stop and look up at him and I can feel the tears starting to form. “Don’t get upset, listen to Trent before you jump to any conclusions” he says in a calm quiet tone. I look up to see Melissa rising out of her chair and as she goes to wrap her witchy hands around Trents neck he stops her, abruptly. “What the hell do you want Meissa?” he snarls at her, ok maybe I misjudged him. “Ive missed you boo” she says in a high pitch girly shriek She wraps her witchy fingers around his arm and trys to pull him in closer, she pushes her arm away and steps away from her. “Its been nearly 2 years Melissa, what do you want?” he starts to walk away from her as she follows him to stop him. “We need to talk” she says as she looks up to see me and Aiden watching every move. “In private” she finishes as she looks back up to Trent. “What ever you have to say you can say infront of Aiden and Avery” Trent states as he turns back around to face Melissa. “I don’t think your brother and your assistant need to here what we need to talk about” she says with a weird smirk on her face. “Avery is not just my assistant, she is my fiancé.” He says as he looks back and smiles as me sweetly. “What? You are getting married to that?” she points in disgust in my direction. “Melissa watch you tone when speaking to my future wife. As I said what ever you have to say you can say it infront of them or you can leave and never come back” with his anger rising, Trent is losing his patience. “Trent, just go into the office, she clearly is uncomfortable” Aiden states as he heads round to stand beside Trent. Trent looks over his shoulder to see my reaction, I just shrug my shoulders giving him the choice in what to do. “Fine, you have 5 minutes” he walks back into his office with Melissa following closely behind him.
Aiden is hanging about sitting on the edge of my desk, “She is an ex of Trents, they split well over 2 years ago. She cheated on him and tried to deny it, it was messy.” Aiden tells me, without me even asking any question, he could clearly see my mind working. “What do you think she wants?” I ask quietly, almost scared for the answer. “Him, she always wants him. She must have heard about your engagement and is back to try get him back”. He states just as the door of the office is thrown open and an angry Melissa emerges with a smug looking Trent behind her. She storms past my desk, not even looking at my direction and straight to elevator and disappears from our view. I look up to see Trent standing against the doorframe to his office. “Well, that was interesting.” Trent says as he heads over to stand behind my chair, reaching over and wrapping his arms around the front of my chest. “Interesting?” I question as I look up to him. “Yeah, come on lets go for lunch, I need out of here for an hour or two, Aiden you take charge for a bit, yeah?” he says as he pulls me up from my seat, taking my bag and handing me my jacket. “Yeah, sure. Just transfer your calls through. Enjoy” he says as he heads down the corridor to his section.
We head down in the elevator and I cant quiet figure out Trents mood. He doesn’t seem angry or upset, just no real emotion on his face at all. As we leave the elevator, I see Melissa standing talking to a couple of the women from the marketing department, I never did get their names when I started but I never really cared. Trent notices them as well and he leads us straight over to them “Ladies, is this the location of your offices?” he asks as he looks at the three woman standing. “No reply? What exactly am I paying you to do?” he asks again. They stare at each other as Melissa slips away, thinking she has escape Trents now obvious anger. “Melissa, please leave or I will have security escort you from the premises” he states as he waves his hand over at the security guard at the main entrance. “Trevor, please escort Ms Steele from the building and make sure she never returns” Trevor nods his head and leads Melissa away from us. “Now you two, I have heard some stories in my time, but the conversation I have just had with Ms Steele, was very very interesting. I suggest you go back to your offices, collect your belongings and leave the building. You are both fired. You will receive your final pay in due course. Have a good day” he barks at them as he pulls me away and drags me towards his car that is waiting at the front of the building.
