Merry Christmas everyone

A day in the life of............ Raye.

With everything that's been going on lately it's a wonder that I can get my head around work but I think it's exactly what I need right now something to get my mind off everything.

First Darien has been acting really strange, then there's Serena, I think she may not like me, she always seems nervous around me. And last but not least there's Jake the lift guy.

For some strange reason I couldn't get the cheeky blonde out of my head. I haven't seen him in like 3 days and I've been holding back asking Serena about him afraid she may tell Darien.

Darien my other big problem, I don't know ever since that day in the library he's, I don't know has he gone off me? Seems like it.

Maybe I'm not attractive anymore.

My thoughts were brought back to Jake again, maybe that was why I couldn't stop thinking of him, and he was the only guy that had given me attention in a while.

But then there was the fact I was attracted to him, I think it was the way he spoke to me like I was the most sort after prize in the competition.

Just as I was thinking about him the last person I expected to see stepped off the lift.

'Serena, what are you doing here?' I asked as soon as I got near her.

'Oh hi Raye I didn't know you worked here, I'm actually looking for my brother,' she answered.

'Your brother works here?' I asked trying to think of someone with the last name Thomson.

She laughed and I had to smile there was something about her that made people happy to be around her.

'Yeah he's some design big shot, he said his office was on this floor,' she told me with a smile.

I swallowed when I realised that the only person with an office on this floor was in fact my boss.

'Hey princess, ready for lunch?' I turned around to see Jake. I could have fainted right there and then.

Serena hugged him and agreed then turned to me.

'Raye this is my big brother jake,' she introduced.

He laughed and the same feeling I got with Serena washed over me only this time it deepened my attraction to him.

'We've met,' he told Serena and I blushed remembering our last meeting. Serena nodded then said her goodbyes to me.

'I'll be with you in a second sere just have to sign out,' Jake said to her as she walked to the lift.

'So been thinking of me?' he asked with a grin on his face.

I shook my head but I'm sure my red face gave me away because he just laughed and slipped his hand around my waist.

'well I have been thinking of you Raye, and now I know my sister knows you I will be grilling her for information, just to let you know,' he murmured softly in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

He winked at me as he left and I finally started to breathe again.

I didn't see him again for the rest of the day even though I was sure he got back from lunch hours ago.

After work I went to a friend's house for a while before heading home, even though I was at Darien's most of the time I liked to keep my own place so I went there really not having the nerve to face my boyfriend when I was lusting after another man.

I love Darien I really do I mean he's perfect for me in every way but he has never made me feel an inch of what Jake has in the whole 3 conversations I've shared with him.

It's all very confusing.

That was my last thought before I went to sleep that night.

The next day I dressed a little better then I usually do wearing a dark red suit that I had slightly outgrown so it was a bit tight and short on me.

I told myself I just needed to feel sexy today but I knew it was all for him.

'It's not denial I'm just very selective about the reality I choose to accept,' I told myself as I walked into work.

When a few hours had passed I didn't know whether I was happy or upset that I had yet to see jake, until he walked out of the office and headed striate for me.

I quickly made myself look busy as he put his hands down on my desk.

'I've been looking at your work, and I have a dinner meeting with a new client tonight I want you to come and pitch your latest sketches,' he said.

I sat there shocked then raised an eyebrow

'This isn't a new kind of pick up line I haven't heard yet is it because I should let you know I have a boyfriend,' I told him then blew out the breath I had been holding.

He actually laughed at me after I said that I was very tempted to smack that grin off his smug little face albeit a very handsome smug little face.

'no it isn't a pickup I like your work and I think it's perfect for these new clients, don't worry Raye I'm sure Darien won't mind me stealing you for the night,' he said winking.

I wasn't surprised after it clicked in my head that if Darien had known Serena for 5 years of course he knew her brother.

And so I went home after work and tore apart my closet for the perfect outfit.

I settled on a modest knee length thick strapped black dress that dipped a little low in the front. Then I got in the shower and started to get ready.

When I had finished I decided to call Darien just to let him know.

The phone rang a few times before he picked it up and I wondered what he could have been doing.

'Hello,' he answered slightly out of breath.

'Hey dare it's just me, I wanted to let you know that I'm going to a business meeting tonight,'

I heard a female voice in the background and recognised it as Serena's so I asked him if she was there.

'yeah she is and I know about the dinner its great you're going to knock um dead, listen Raye when you get chance I really need to talk to you about something important,' he said.

I said ok then we said our goodbye's right before the doorbell rang. I opened it to find Jake standing there in a dashing suit, he grinned as he looked me up and down and we left.

The whole dinner went so well I couldn't stop smiling the clients loved my work so much they signed without a second thought and the meal was delicious. After everyone had left Jake insisted we celebrate.

An hour clubbing before he walked me to my door we were both laughing uncontrollably, he had been flirting all night and wasn't stopping now so I decided to stop him then and there

I probably got a little angry when I told him to stop flirting I don't know if it was at him or myself but still I may have shouted.

His response however knocked me right off my feet.

He kissed me, and I kissed him back as we joined at the lips entered my apartment.

The next morning I woke up with only a slight headache and one thought.

Things just got a whole lot more confusing.

I hope you like this chapter I wanted to get Raye sorted as there was no way I was going to just leave her hanging.

So to sum up.

Serena love's Darien who is dating Raye

Raye likes Jake who is Serena's brother

Darien loves Serena but is confused because he doesn't want to totally loose Raye.

Didn't I say I like complicated relationships lol

Please tell me what you think.
