I don't own anything. Thank you guys for all the love! Enjoy and Review please.
'' Are you alright miss?'' I ask again, finally getting out of my trance.
God she's beautiful.
She seems to be in the same trance because her sensual mouth opens, but no words come out. It's adorable really. Usually I get annoyed when women stare openly at me with no control, but I would only be glad to let her stare at me all day. As she tries to get back her voice I return the favor and take my own survey of the beauty in front of me. I've always had a soft spot for blondes' maybe it was because I absolutely adored Sophie, my father's right hand man, Taylor's daughter since I can remember. The blonde angel had striking green eyes that were surrounded by long lashes, soft looking pink lips, a perfectly straight nose with the cutest little freckles on the otherwise creamy skin, and below the pretty face…Dear Lord! The water soaked her white blouse all the way through. I had a full IMAX screening of her perfectly rounded breasts and I could even see the beauty mark on the right swell.
Oh no. Down Teddy Jr. It's like I'm a teen hitting puberty again.
Stop staring at her breasts!
Shit! She noticed.
Her green eyes lower to where my gaze had been captivated for the last minute and then her anger is thrown at me rather than at Thompson. Her face goes red in anger and her eyes shine like burning green stones. And I have no shame, because I throw her my father's panty dropping smile instead of apologizing. I'm only taken out of my delightful staring when I feel my cheek on fire and the sound of a hand meeting my skin.
'' You pervert! God! First this idiot almost kills me and now you're…you…god you sicko!'' She screeches trying to pull out of Thompson's hold on her.
I'm still in shock, my head turned in the direction where the slap had turned it to. I had never been slapped in my life. Was it wrong that I was kind of turned on? Damn she was feisty.
'' Let go of me you big oaf!'' She yells at Thompson trying to slap me again.
'' Miss please we are in the middle of traffic-''
'' Do I look like I care?'' She screeches again.
'' Let her go Thompson,'' I say rubbing my now sore cheek.
How can someone who barely reaches my chin, even in heels, pack such a punch?
Thompson immediately releases her, but she isn't expecting it and falls to the wet pavement.
'' Shit! Really Thompson?'' I glare at him as I try helping her back up.
'' Sorry sir,'' he says helping me help her.
'' Don't touch me! Get your gorilla away from me!'' She says standing up by herself.
'' Gorilla?'' I ask bemused when I realize who she's referring to. '' Oh you mean Thompson-''
'' I don't care what his name is suit,'' she says glaring at us both.
'' Suit?'' I ask laughing.'' I have a name-''
'' Like I said don't care, now move down wind.''
'' You're a rude little thing, aren't you?'' I tease only to earn another glare.
'' Well forgive me if I'm not being polite after the walking SUV almost killed me!'' She points at Thompson who glares at her in return.
'' Miss if I may, you came out of nowhere-'' Thompson tries defending himself.
'' I was crossing the street!''
'' The light was green for us miss-''
'' There was still time for me to cross-''
'' Then you should have been faster-''
'' Enough!'' I yell shutting them both up immediately. '' Now miss…?''
I wait for her name but she crosses her arms over her wet breasts, and continues to glare holding her ground.
Huffing, I run a hand over my hair trying to calm myself before I popped a vein.
'' The important thing here is if you're fine and if you aren't then I can take you to the best hospital in Seattle-''
'' I'm fine,'' she cuts me off.
Lord! Can't this woman keep her mouth shut? She's a beauty but her mouth is annoying.
'' Alright, then seeing as you're in perfect health may I offer to take you anywhere-''
I'm cut off again but this time by Thompson huffing in annoyance as if saying '' over my dead body am I driving her somewhere.'' I glare at him and look back at the big mouthed angel.
'' As I was saying, can I take you anywhere? I can buy you a coffee or maybe lunch?'' I ask smiling.
Her eyes are still frosted over and I'm absolutely confused by her reaction. It was obvious she had liked my looks, and yet she was still holding up this attitude.
'' I wouldn't go anywhere with you suit,'' she says icily, but freezes when she sees my watch. Grabbing my arm she checks the time and her face is whiter than white. '' Shit! I'm going to be late!''
'' Like I said we can drive you anywhere,'' I offer.
'' I don't want nor need your help,'' she says pushing me out of her way.
Not so fast missy.
Grabbing her by the elbow I swing her to face me, I'm not the guy you can simply ignore or walk away from.
'' Let. Go. Of. Me.'' She growls like a kitten trying to be a tiger.
'' Look I'm trying to be a nice guy here, can't you just accept my apology?'' I ask.
'' Hey get the hell out of the way!'' A man yells as he drives around the car.
'' You're making a scene, let go of me,'' she says looking at the line of cars behind us.
'' I think it was you making the scene when you decided to jump out of nowhere,'' I smirk pulling her closer.
God, she smells good like raspberries and summer rain.
I can feel her chest rising and falling heavily against my own, and I feel something other than lust as our bodies come close together.
'' I didn't jump out of- you know what forget it. Now let go of me or else,'' she growls again.
'' Or else what?'' I ask enjoying this little back and forth.
She arches a perfect brow at me and moves her body even closer to mine giving me a feel of her pointed nipples against my body. I look down at her beautiful wet form and I'm all but ready to combust at the sight of Miss Wet Blouse. I don't get to enjoy the feeling for long when I feel a five-inch heel stomping on my foot forcing me to release her.
'' Fuck!'' I shout hopping from one foot to the other.
'' Moron,'' she says before quickly rushing off.
'' Who the hell was that?'' I ask holding onto my injured foot.
'' Are you alright sir? Do you want me to go after her?'' Thompson asks not sure if he should help me or chase after the little brat.
I look to where she ran off only to see her surprisingly enter GEH. What is she doing at our company?
'' Shit I'm late!'' She had said. Late for what?
Thompson follows my gaze and then arches a brow noticing where she had ran off to. Turning to me he waits for my orders patiently.
'' Let's go,'' I order hopping back into the car.
Thompson instantly follows me and starts the car back up again driving us to the GEH parking lot. All the while I'm still thinking about the smart-mouthed angel, she reminded me a bit of my mom in a way. Blondie didn't play damsel in distress and right out refused my dinner offer, and how could I forget the slap and stomping I had received. Smiling stupidly I rub my cheek feeling only a slight stinging sensation under my touch now. I still can't believe she slapped me! What would my parents say? They hadn't even so much as spanked me as a child and yet this little fireball did.
'' Mr. Grey, we're here,'' Thompson says as he opens the door for me.
'' Thank you,'' I say still lost in thought as we head up to the offices.
Now to see what the fireball was doing up here.
'' Good morning Mr. Grey,'' the receptionist, Ariana, greets happily.
'' Morning Ariana,'' I wink walking towards the elevator.
Ariana: blonde, chocolate eyed, and an easy conquest. Her lunch breaks were always my favorite time when I was bored and had nothing to do. She was nice and good at her job, but would never be the next Mrs. Grey. We would never get passed the elevator or the break room.
I'm lucky to find the elevator empty when Thompson and I step into it. Usually I would have to give false compliments to my some of my father's employees. There were a few in the company that hated the idea of me taking over because in their eyes I didn't do anything to deserve it, other than be born into it. They didn't dare speak their minds though, not if they wanted my father to cut off their tongues.
Ding.
The elevator doors open smoothly and I'm greeted by the familiar face of Jason Tylor guarding the offices. To many he would seem stoic and not at all friendly, but to me he was an uncle. Mother always treated our personal employees as family and in reality they were, Taylor sometimes even played with me when I was younger.
'' Taylor, how are you?'' I greet.
'' Well thank you Mr. Grey-''
'' Teddy, Taylor how many times do I have to tell you? It's Teddy. You're just like old Thompson over here who can't call me by my god given name,'' I joke thumping Thompson on his shoulder.
'' Old? Please,'' Thompson huffs walking over to Taylor without a word.
'' Excuse Thompson, he's had a horrible morning almost running over a poor soul-''
'' She jumped out of nowhere, sir,'' Thompson intervenes.
'' That's not what she said,'' I tease.
'' Yeah well, why don't you tell Taylor what the poor soul did to you, sir,'' he says arching a brow in glee. Well as much glee as the ex- navy seal could have.
Taylor looks from Thompson to me with his own arched brow wanting to get the full load.
'' What happened?'' He asks truly curious.
I stay quiet, not really wanting Taylor to know I had been taken down by a little woman.
'' Shall I or shall you tell Taylor, sir?'' Thompson asks.
'' Oh now he talks,'' I glare at him. '' If you must know Taylor, I was slapped and stomped on.''
'' You were what?'' Taylor asks trying to hide his laughter behind a cough.
'' You heard me I was slapped and stomped on-''
'' By a very short woman Taylor, she could barely reach his shoulder and that was in heels,'' Thompson adds.
I throw him another glare and then one at Taylor as he lets out the laugh he had been holding back.
'' Yeah, yeah laugh it up. Just remember my father sighs both your checks,'' I say walking off.
'' Was she really that short?'' I hear Taylor ask.
'' Tiny, Taylor, she was tiny…''
I roll my eyes as I walk off towards Andrea's desk, ignoring my so-called body guards.
'' Good morning Andrea,'' I say happily.
'' Good morning Teddy,'' she says giving me a bright smile.
Andrea had been my father's personal assistant for years, even before he met my mom. She would play babysitter whenever mom brought me and my sister for a visit. I remember playing with her blonde hair and how she would let me borrow her head set. I even remember her letting me rub her pregnant belly when I was five and later meeting her little boy Robin. She too was a part of the long Grey family.
'' How are you this lovely morning, beautiful as always I can see,'' I say leaning on her desk.
'' Oh Teddy, always the flirt,'' she teases, '' actually I'm busy trying to find my replacement.''
'' Any luck?'' I ask messing with the little fountain she had on her desk.
'' Nope,'' she says popping the ''p'' and sighing in annoyance.
I felt bad for her she had been searching for her replacement since dad announced his retirement in May. Andrea had decided to venture out with her husband and she really did deserve it after all she does for my dad. Her son Robin is off in college and her husband decided to retire her from working, and take her to California for a beachside life.
'' Are you sure you have to leave? I feel unloved by you not wanting to be my executive assistant,'' I pout.
'' I love you all the same Teddy but California has always been a dream of mine,'' she says smiling wistfully at her Malibu screensaver.
'' California isn't so great you know, horrible weather,'' I tell her.
'' Like Seattle?'' She fires back.
I pout again knowing that rainy Seattle isn't going to win against the hot and sunny summers of California. Besides, Andrea really did like California. She used to tell me about moving back where she met her husband all those years ago while on vacation.
'' Well tell Alex I'm not happy with him taking you so far from me,'' I huff like a small child.
'' Don't kill him yet, we aren't leaving until I can find my replacement,'' she says sipping on her coffee. '' Maybe the girl inside with your father will finally be decent.''
'' Dad's interviewing somebody?'' I ask with my curiosity peaked.
Could it be her?
I have to see for myself.
'' Yes, but she probably won't get hired. She came in here soaking wet and only a minute to spare,'' Andrea says in distaste.
It's her, it has to be her.
'' What's her name?'' I ask quickly.
'' Olivia, Olivia Hart,'' she replies smoothly.
Olivia Hart. What a beautiful name.
'' Teddy, where are you going?'' Andrea asks as I make my way to my father's office.
'' I want to see her for myself,'' I reply turning to look back at her.
'' Why? Like I said she won't get the job.''
'' I still want to meet her,'' I say in a no game voice.
I can hear my dad's voice and a much more gentle voice than the one that had yelled at me only half an hour ago, but I knew it was her. Her description was of the girl that literally ran into my life.
'' Theodore, you know your father hates when he's interrupted,'' Andrea begs for me not to open the door.
'' She's might be mypersonal assistant, so I should meet this girl,'' I say ready to open the door, but just like the slap and stomp I'm hit again.
The door swings open and smacks me in the face. What the hell is this hit Teddy day? Gasps are heard through the waiting room as I grasp onto my bleeding nose.
'' Oh my god I am so sorry,'' a sweet voice says from above me.
'' Teddy! Taylor get a first aid kit he's bleeding!'' Andrea yells.
'' Mr. Grey,'' I hear Thompson say from next to me as I groan in pain.
'' What the hell is going-son?'' My dad calls as he sees me on the floor.
'' I'm so sorry,'' the voice begs as she takes my hands away from my nose to have a look.
She gasps and it's then I know it's her. This woman was going to be the death of me. I think she broke my face.
'' You!'' She says in shock.
'' Ms. Hart it seems you've already met my son, your boss.''
Her boss? She got hired? Well isn't this a strange turn of events, I think to myself.
Thank you guys for all the love, it was absolutely unexpected! Please review and I promise to update asap.
