"Well, aren't you gorgeous?" I asked Chase as we walked towards the office building. I straightened his hair. They're all over places and I know from the look he's giving me, he doesn't like it.

He rolled his eyes in reply. I gave him a choice to wash his hair if he wanted to, he didn't. Not my fault. Pico gave him a nose boop, he liked his hair too. Chase is just stupid.

"Do you know that I called you stupid in my head?" I asked.

"You did?" He asked in return.

"Yeah, You look really pretty." I tell him. Everyone is looking at him today, they look at him everyday but today they're looking extra closely, creepy people I'm telling you. "A beautiful girl clicked your picture." I say to him as I noticed the flash go off. Mistakes we make.

"Miss Reed." I heard someone call me.

"Yes?" I turned to see a guy standing there. His brown skin was glowing under all the lights. If I didn't have my Chase, I totally would've had a crush on him.

"Can I have a minute with you?" He asked.

"Sure." I replied, turning to Chase who I knew was still standing there. "Go ahead, I'll join you." I told him before turning back to the guy.

"You don't have to say yes..you can say no I won't mind, I was wondering if.." He trailed off as he noticed that instead of going to his office like I asked him to, Chase was still standing there.

"If?"

He cleared his throat while scratching his neck a little. "If you'd like to go-"

"No." Before he could complete, Chase interrupted, pulling me towards the already waiting elevator with him. He sighed, waiting for the elevator to close it's doors. Just as the doors closed, he pushed me on the elevator wall and came close to me, keeping his hand around my waist and kissed me. Excuse me sir? Or don't, I don't mind.

He pulled away with my lip between his teeth, I opened my eyes to see him doing the same. His pupils are so dilated right now. He kept his forehead against mine, "You're only mine." He said.

I pressed the button to stop the elevator before we give Lydia a show.

"No one else stands a chance boo." I pecked his lips. He moved from my lips to my jaw, trailing soft kisses to my neck.

"Chase, no." I said as I felt him sucking on my neck. "I have nothing to cover it up with." I told him but did he listen? Ofcourse not. I'm so close to pulling his hair to pull his big head away.

"Now they'll know." He said as he finished and looked at his 'work of art' as he liked to call it, proudly. Kissing me one more time, he pressed the button to get the elevator moving again.

"My lady." He murmured as he brushed back the overgrown bangs behind my ear.

"You're my lady too." I tell him. "I mean my man." I corrected myself, realising I called him my lady. "Bye bye." I said, walking out of the elevator. That was a quite long ride.

I saw Lydia sporting a smirk probably trying not to laugh at my flustered self. His one kiss is enough to make me go all gooey inside, hell..just one touch is enough. Will he ever not affect me? I don't think so. He made me go from I need no man to I can't live without this man.

"Celeste." I heard Lydia call me.

"Yes?" I asked, turning to her.

"Come here, come here." She rushed.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Did you both-"

"Celeste Black." She was rudely interrupted by Caden loudly calling my name or not my name actually. What is he even doing here in the morning?

"Excuse me Lydia, I'll talk to you later." I told her as he dragged me into my cabin.

"Did Rome do something again?" I asked.

"How dare you?" He asked. Did I do something? Did he see me helping his boyfriend steal his secret food? I hope not.

"I didn't.."

"Did you two got married without my presence? I wanted to be the best man!" He said. God, how can he cry so effortlessly? And wait what?

"Married? What are you on about?" I asked. I know Chase calls me his wife, he never referred to me as his girlfriend but that doesn't mean we're actually married, right?

"Don't lie to me. He's wearing a band on his ring finger, I saw the pictures." He tells me.

"What pictures?" I ask.

"I'm in the office gossip group, people shared the pictures." He replied.

"Oh god, it's my ring he's wearing. Your brother just likes to take my things, don't worry. We won't get married without your presence, I need a flower girl." I assure him, patting his arm.

"Oh. Now that's clear, tell me what the hell did you do to his hair?" He asked.

"I straightened them." I tell him. "And how the hell are you in the gossip group? I'm not there and I work here!" I exclaim.

"I hacked myself into it." He replied. You can do that? "I'll pretend I didn't say that." He said as his eyes wandered to my neck and came back at my face. I forgot about that actually. Quickly covering my neck with my hair, I looked at him. "I was playing with Pico." I tell him.

"Yeah? I was playing with Rome." He replies, pulling down his tshirt a little. This little bitch.

"Get me a coffee." I order him.

"I'm not your assistant." He replied, walking out.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I was running when I recieved the photos, I'm going back to running sweetheart." He told me before walking away. Will he not meet his brother?

"Hello Lydia, unfortunately they're not married." He told her as he walked to the elevator. I guess that is what she wanted to know too, they'll have to wait.

I went to Chase's office as I realised I was supposed to give him his schedule. "People think you're married." I tell him.

"I am." He replied, looking at his..or my ring.

"Idiot. Anyways, you have a conference call at 10 with the Portman group, a meeting 45 minutes later with Harrington and Co. There are the performance reports you asked for on your desk, after that you have..." I told him his schedule for the rest of the day.

"Do I have a meeting with someone called Celeste Reed?" He asked.

"She's a busy woman, I don't think so. You can book an appointment though." I replied.

"Well, ask her if she would like to go on a little weekend trip?" He said.

"Depends. Is there a tall, dark and handsome guy in the package?" I asked.

"He is."

"Where are we going?" I asked, getting up from the chair I was sitting on.

"It's a surprise." He tells me.

"I hate that kind of surprise! What am I even going to wear? And what will I pack?" I asked.

"I'll do your packing." He tells me.

"Okay but where are we going?" I asked. I hate how he never tells me wherever we are going. Asshole never tells me even when we're just going to the grocery store.

"Give me a kiss." He said.

"Will you tell me then?" I asked.

"I'll think about it." He said, making grabby hands. I gave him a quick kiss. "Tell me now."

"That wasn't a kiss." He said. I pressed my lips for longer this time.

"Okay now?"

"Nope." He said and then pulled me on his lap, kissing me deeply. Is he kiss deprived today? I think he is.

"Are you going to tell me now?" I asked as he pulled away.

"It's a surprise, Love." He said smiling. How can I get mad at him when he smiles like that? He needs to stop looking at me like that, I get ready to drop anything to keep him happy everytime he smiles like that.

He just wanted some kisses, greedy, greedy man I can't stop myself from falling in love with.
