Me and the Boss
Chapter 2
Alex Santiago always got what she wanted and she wanted to be Mrs Russo she didn't want to be his dirty little secret anymore.
She didn't envy Juliet because of her relationship with Justin but because she wanted to be his wife she wanted to live with him and be open about what they had together she hated hiding it.
When she was young she always loved those stories where the princess was swept of her feet by their prince, but she was teenager she started dating and realised all the boys she was interested in didn't have any ambition, were douche bags and just wanted to get in her pants. She promised herself that when she met that special someone she wouldn't let them slip away.
Justin had ambition drive and he was making it for himself and she loved that. He made her feel special and when she was with him the worries disappeared. He told her that when he divorced Juliet she'll move in and they can get married and start a family and it will be great. He was hers even if no one else knew that.
"I can never button this stupid shirt properly" Justin said while he struggled with lining the buttons with the holes.
Alex laughed slightly as she threw her blouse on "Come I'll do it for you" he walked over to her and she stood up from the seat and began buttoning it for him.
"You know I've been thinking" She said casually
Justin eyed her to see if he could tell what she was up to "About what"
"Well…" she said trying to make him a bit nervous "I get kind of lonely in the night" she said moving slightly closer "And I was thinking maybe we could go on holiday just the two of us… together…alone" she said seductively she could tell he was getting nervous.
"Um I don't know" he said while gulping
"Don't you love me" she whined giving him the puppy dog face
"You know I do it's just risky you know? Please don't give me that face you're making it hard" he replied.
"I guess I understand" she shrugged while finishing his last button.
Justin knew there must be a catch it wasn't like Alex to give up that easily.
"It's just it would have been nice you know the two off us we could have had some real fun"
Justin's eyebrows rose "What kind of fun?" he asked curiously she smirked and tiptoed up and whispered something in his ear his eyes widened. She knew exactly what to say.
.
"So what do you think?" she said biting her lip and intertwining their fingers.
He didn't want to give in but there she was looking all cute and innocent how could he say no to her "I guess I could look into it but I can't promise anything" he sighed.
She gave him a quick kiss "That's all I ask" she smiled
"Miss Santiago you do drive me crazy" he said pulling a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"That's a good thing right" she laughed. Just then the door knocked and they quickly sprang apart and she walked on the other said of his desk he quickly fixed his tie.
"Come in" Justin croaked. The door opened and "Sorry for the interruption" Zeke said they both just smiled at him trying the best to cover up there previous actions.
"It's fine I was just finished actually I better go back and finish these papers" Alex said as she picked up the documents from the desk and left the room.
Zeke turned back to Justin who was looking a little "Man are you ok" he asked "Yeah I'm fine so what's up" he asked as he sat at his desk.
"The good news or bad news first" Zeke asked him looking anxious "Bad news" Justin moaned "The photo shoot we were supposed to do in Miami fell through" Justin rolled his eyes "Seriously, why?" "Apparently there using the area for something else" "Well what's the good news" "We could use LA Venice beach but it would have to be in the next two weeks".
"Um ok will the models be available" "Already talked to them and their cool with it but Emma can't make it because of some engagement party". Emma was one of the assistants her job was crucial to make sure things ran smoothly "But I have an Idea we could ask Alex to come she's been here long enough and Emma's been with her so I'm sure she'll know what's she's doing".
I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea I mean she was the best intern they've ever had "Yeah that's great I'll ask her" "Good problem solved" Zeke said feeling proud for figuring things out.
When the whole affair started Justin and Juliet's marriage was alright but it could have been better. They were High School sweethearts and he was so young when he popped the question.
And then she came in the picture…Alex. When the whole thing started Justin realised that what him and Juliet had was a teen romance and that the whole marriage thing was just in the moment not forever. Not that he didn't love Juliet he did but just not how he youst to.
He knew this was wrong and it's something no one would expect from him. He did try and stay away after their night together but it didn't work nothing did he was almost trying to stop himself from loving her but he couldn't.
Alex was meeting Harper and old school friend for lunch, if it wasn't for her Alex wouldn't be and Intern at MADE she had set the whole thing up for her she was so grateful.
As she entered Starbucks she saw Harper sitting at the table wearing one of loud outfits what can she say you got to love her.
"Hey Alex" Harper said standing up and giving her a quick hug "Hey" they both sat down "So how's MADE" Harper asked her looking excited "Great things are great" she smiled.
"That's good… so how's things with your mum" she asked me "We haven't spoken in a while and I honestly don't care" Alex said. Things with her and her mum where never great Alex always blamed her for her dad leaving and when she moved out after High School they barely spoke.
"Alex you should at least go see her she is your mum" Harper stated "She's never been one so why should I care" Alex said taking a bite out of her Cesar salad Harper rolled her eyes "Can we please change the subject" Harper nodded.
"So have you met someone" Harper asked Alex kind of froze "Um no not really ding the dating thing at the moment like riding solo" Alex laughed "That doesn't sound like you" Harper said looking confused "Yeah I'm just focusing on work" just as she said that she felt like gagging "I'm just going to pop to the toilet back in a sec".
She rushed to the closest cubical and started vomiting must have been a bed Cesar salad she thought. When she finished she went to the mirror took her water bottle out and began rummaging through her bag to get her breath mints and that's when she stumbled upon her birth v=control pills.
"Shit" she hissed she had forgotten to take them yesterday I suppose taking it now won't be a big deal she thought so she did.
Juliet was at her friend Baileys house "So he popped the question yesterday" she squealed "Great" Juliet said trying to sound happy for her but it didn't work "Ok" Bailey said "I'm sorry is just…" "It's about Justin isn't it" Bailey said "How do you know "I can tell".
"It's just that lately I've been feeling like he's not interested anymore I don't know maybe I'm paranoid" Juliet said putting her face in her hands "All relationships suffer rough patches its totally normal but it's you two it will be fine" Bailey reassured. If that was true then why did she feel he was slowly slipping away.
