Chapter 6

Skyler

A week passed by since Shane accepted his defeat. I was pretty surprised by it because he was the one who proposed it in the first place and I knew he was not one who accepts his own's defeat so easily.

As shocking it might be it's for the best. I didn't want to be his enemy and this was the first step. I was loving it. For the first time in a while, things are on track and it was everything I could ask for.

"Skyler. Tell me about my schedule for today." As I told him his schedule and glanced over at him. He looks so attractive in that suit, typing on the computer. He shifts his gaze from his computer to me.

"Ok. Arrange all the papers for the meeting and also can you bring me a cup of coffee?"

He says with a smile. I feel myself blushing to it."Okay.Anything Else."

"No. You will have to go through the contract and you will assist me in the meeting since you know Turkish." I nod my head and go back to get his coffee. I make his coffee the way he likes it and place it on a tray. When I was about to go to his cabin, I was stopped by Ron.

He was talking about a party at his place. I thought it would be a great idea to mingle. I don't have many friends and it would be nice to go out rather than sitting at home.

"Skyler, In my office NOW."

I was talking to Ron and completely forgot about his coffee. He called me in a stern commanding voice. I take a look at him. He had his fists balled up as his eyes narrowed as his jaw tightened. I had never seen him like this. Oh, shoot. He is angry.

"I need to go Ron. I will think about it."

"Sure. Here's my number. I will text you the address. I hope you come." He hands me a piece of paper and I run into his cabin.

"I am so sorry. Your coffee is cold now. Do you want me to reheat it?"

"Keep the tray here." He says in a cold tone. Phew! He didn't say anything. "I have arranged the files for the meeting," I say to him and that's when he asked. I was taken aback by his words. "What were you both talking about?"

"You mean Ron." I double-checked. "Yes."

I was confused why he wants to know what we were talking about. He is my boss but he doesn't have to know what I talk to with others. "Excuse me, What?"

"Simple question." He hissed. I saw the anger radiating in his eyes. I don't know the reason why but I very well knew now is not the time to argue so I told him whatever we were talking about. "He just invited me to his place for a party."

He commanded and I was surprised. "You won't go to that party and you will stay away from Ron." What? Did he just order me? He starts typing on his laptop and I take a minute to analyze it.

Is he jealous? I like this bossy side of his but that doesn't mean he will control me. "What? I don't understand." after which he stood up from his chair and came up close to me. I took a step backward as he came closer.

After a few steps back I realized it was the end and I was pinned against the wall with him in front of me close. My heartbeat was racing and I was getting nervous with him so close.

I took deep short breaths as he leaned his face a little closer. I could feel my cheeks redden because of the little distance left between us. His beautiful eyes were locked on me and he was drowned in his thoughts. He was scanning my face up and down and I tried to move my stare away from him. After a few moments, he whispers."You won't go to that party."

Okay, now it's confirmed. He is jealous. When he spoke it felt like his voice, his scent intoxicated me all at once but I won't let him control me. He can be the boss here not everywhere else.

"I see what this is? Is it. Wait."

I take out my phone and dialed his number. He looked at me confused."What are you doing?"

"Wait and watch. Hello Ron. It's Skyler."

"Yes, Skyler."

"I called you to inform you that I would love to come to the party."

"I am delighted you could make it. I was about to text you the address."

"See you at 8."

I hang up the call and look at Shane. He was fuming with anger. I stood in front of him with my arms crossed. His jaw tightened and his fists clenched. He was furious. He said raising his eyebrows."You didn't."

"Oh yes. I did."

"You have a habit to not listen to me. I told you once and I won't repeat." He growled. I don't understand his problem. Why is he behaving like this?

"You may be the boss of me at work but not outside work," I said back glaring at his eyes. If he thinks he can control me. He is wrong.

"I won't let you go there."

"You will see my head out at 7:30."

"Fine" I stomp my foot to the ground and left the room. I saw Tyler walk into his room as he waved at me but I ignored him.

I didn't Shane after that. I started preparing for the meeting and we met in the conference room. In the meeting, Shane and I shared a few glances and I looked away from him. He was pissed at me and I was loving to see him jealous.

After work, I went back home early. I took a shower and put on my best dress. Later I put on some eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. After I was ready I gave my grandma her medicines.

I booked a cab from my phone and went downstairs waiting for my cab. After a few minutes of waiting when a familiar car parked in front of me. The person inside pulled down the glass window.

It was Shane. He was wearing a white shirt and a navy blue coat and jeans. This was the first time I saw him in his casuals other than the dream I had. He looked so much better than in my dreams. He was looking strikingly handsome. I couldn't take my eyes off him but wait what is he doing here?

"Get in." He says and I obey him.

I got in the car and then before I could say or ask him anything.

"I am going with you." He asserts. That's why he didn't argue much when I said I was going to the party but how did he know when I was to leave. Shit! I am so stupid. I told him myself that I was about to leave."I don't remember Ron inviting you."

"Ron won't mind his boss joining him." He says confidently with a smirk plastered on his face.

"I am not agreeing to this."

"You don't have a choice." What does he mean by I don't have a choice?  I say back."I do have a choice."

"Remember you owe me one for saving you. You promised you would do anything I say. So Skyler, Let me come with you to the party."

He knows how to get his thing done. I didn't know he can be this smart. I didn't expect him to use it like this.

"Fine, Only because I don't break promises but doesn't mean I am going with you I am not obliged to stay with you."

"We will see about that." He says and I gave him the address. Alright, I must admit I did want him to be there. I would have thought of him if I went there alone and also I got a free ride.

He pulled over his car and parked his car in the parking lot. As we went in I can hear loud music blaring outside. There was much dancing, some were chit-chatting and as soon as Ron noticed me, he came running towards us. Shane was standing right beside me but Ron ignored his presence."Ahh!Skyler."

He coughs awkwardly and I laugh.

"Boss didn't see you there."

"Of course, you didn't. Skyler, do you mind giving me a moment alone with Ron?" He rolls his eyes scoffing."Why not? I will mingle with the other boys." I wink at him.

He is raging and I am loving this.

I take a step to the dance floor and look back at them. I could see Shane killing Ron with his glare. Maybe I should go back or else Shane will kill him. So I go back to them."Maybe not. I will stand here."

"Fine, Ron here's the deal." He says and Ron replies. I wonder what he has to stay."I am listening."

"Stay away from Skyler."

"What are you doing?" I look at him shocked. What is he doing?

"Will you shut up for a second?" Shane cuts me off and Ron winks at me."I don't understand. She is single not to mention beautiful"

"Shane. Stop it."

When Ron winks at me. Shane places his hand on my waist and pulls me close to him. I resisted at first but then I stopped. His hand on my waist sent chills down my spine and it was a new feeling. It felt good. I have never felt like this when someone touched me.

My pulse quickened in a second and my mind raced. I completely forget about the situation I was in. I could only think of the things I was feeling because of the hand on my waist. It was something else.

"BECAUSE SHE IS MINE..."

Shane

After I accepted my defeat that day. Things have been great and I could see she was happy after I stopped being rude. I could finally see her real side and I was attracted to her.

I was catching feelings for her even though I tried to stay away. I still didn't want to jump to conclusions. I looked at the time.

It's been over half an hour and she didn't come back with my coffee. What is taking her so long? I called her. She is not picking up her call. A wave of worry passes over me.

I have to check it myself. I step out and look at Skyler talking to Ron. She was holding the coffee tray and she was laughing and giggling at something Ron said. Then I saw Ron placing his hand on her shoulder. I felt a pang of jealousy when I saw her talking with Ron. He then caressed her cheek and it made my blood boil..."Skyler, In my office NOW."

I went back and sat in my seat. I have never behaved this way and she is not bound to me. She isn't my girlfriend she can talk to anyone she wants but I knew Ron, he is not a good guy and I didn't want to see her hurt because of him. She enters in and my gaze fixed down. "I am so sorry. Your coffee is cold now. Do you want me to reheat it?"

"Keep the tray here." She places the tray on the table and sighs. Further, she says."I have arranged the files for the meeting."

"What were you both talking about?" I wanted to know what they were talking about. I am not like this. I had thought to calm myself down and not react to this but I let the jealousy take over me. She mumbles"You mean Ron."

"Yes." I nod at her and she looks ar me confused by the questions. "Excuse me, What?"

"Simple question." Come on Skyler, it's just an easy question. It shouldn't take much time to answer. I look at her and one look was enough."He just invited me to his place for a party."

"You won't go to that party and you will stay away from Ron." I finally say. I am not letting her go to a party with all those drunkards dancing and viling away their time. I could imagine the people staring at her trying to flirt with her. No, she will not go.

"What? I don't understand."

I had now pinned her against the wall and she was forced to look up to me. I was looking at her admiring her face as if I was studying her.

She was a little intimidated. I could feel her increasing heartbeat and I could only think of how her lips will taste like. As we look into each other's eyes, her fiery gaze softened. "You won't go to that party."

"I see what this is? Is it.Wait."

"What are you doing?" She takes her phone out of her pocket and starts dialing a number from a piece of paper she had.

"Wait and watch. Hello Ron. It's Skyler." She is testing my patience. I just told her to not go to that party and she called him.

"I called you to inform you that I would love to come to the party."

"See you at 8." I was standing in front of her glaring, she called Ron in front of me telling him she will be at the party when I clearly said no."You didn't."

"Oh yes. I did." She stood in front of me with her arms crossed.  "You have a habit to not listen to me. I told you once and I won't repeat."

"You may be the boss of me at work but not outside work." She tells me angrily. She was right but the scene. No...

"I won't let you go there."

"You will see my head out at 7:30." That's great. I know her building. I will get ready and meet her there. I will go with her.

"Fine" She then left my room stomping her feet to the ground. If you are stubborn. I am as stubborn as you."May I come in Big bro?"

"What do you want Ty?" I hope he didn't see anything or else he won't leave me.

"I saw everything. What's going on brother? Is there something I should know?" Shit! He did see.

"It's nothing. I know Ron. He is not a nice guy."

"I can smell you burning from jealousy." He says laughing and I glare at him enough to make him stop laughing. That is for a time being. He won't stop at that.

"Me...Jealous...No way..."

Am I jealous? I truly don't know about all these feelings. I am confused and if Tyler knows about this. He will never stop pestering me and I will be even more confused than I already am.

"100 bucks say you two will end up together."

"I am going to go to see the conference room." Before he says anything else. I leave. In the meeting, Skyler tried ignoring me and I glared at her.

I was not liking the idea of Ron and her together or is it the idea of anyone with her. I don't know. Tyler kept looking at me when I was glancing at Skyler. The meeting went on smoothly and she left early.

I drove back home and got rid of my work clothes. After taking a quick shower I browse my closet to find something to wear. I can't believe I was doing this. I don't do parties. The reason why I don't have anything appropriate for a party. That is more of Tyler's scene.

I pick up my phone and call him.

I don't have an option. I can't go in a suit but before I called him, I saw him standing at my closet door.

"I figured." He laughs and keeps in front of me two shopping bags.

"I know you too well." True. I take the bags in my hands and wear the outfit he brought me. "Did I tell you, you have great taste?"

"It comes with a price." He smirks handing me my watch and then my perfume bottle.

"Say whatever you want." I know I will regret this later.

"Do you like Skyler?" He asks raising his eyebrows. I wasn't shocked by the question because I did anticipate this but as much I knew what he was going to ask. I didn't quite know the answer to this. All of this was different and new for me. I had never felt anything for anyone before.

I tried to keep a cool expression.

"I don't know." There is no reason to hide it from him. So, I decided to tell him the truth.

"We almost lost hopes that you would find someone. I like Skyler, she is perfect for you."

"Ty..." I shut him off. I drop him home because I had time to pass. Then I drove back to her building. I saw her from afar in her red dress. 

I stopped it right in front of her and pulled down my glass window."Get in."

She gets in the car and I look at how pretty she looked. She was wearing a red bodycon dress. She had light makeup on and left her hair open. She was wearing high stilettos. She looked breathtaking.



"I am going with you," I say and she

raised her eyebrows. "I don't remember Ron inviting you." He didn't invite me. He would never but he invited you and you will take me there so I can warn him to stay away from you."Ron won't mind his boss joining him."

"I am not agreeing to this." She nods and starts arguing. I knew this would happen."You don't have a choice."

"I do have a choice." She whispers yells at me bringing her face close to me and went back as soon as she realizes how close our faces were. I knew she wouldn't agree and I knew how to make her say yes."Remember you owe me one for saving you. You promised you would do anything I say. So Skyler, Let me come with you to the party."

"Fine, Only because I don't break promises but doesn't mean I am going with you I am not obliged to stay with you." She rolls her eyes having to say yes. I found myself smiling at that."We will see about that."

She gave me the address and we start driving to the place. I would sneak glances at her in between. I saw her looking out of the window smiling at her thoughts.

I parked my car outside and we went in. There was so much noise. Why did I come here in the first place? It is exactly how I remember parties to be. The last one I went to was in college and I promised myself. I wouldn't go to a party like this again and here I am.

The boys started staring at her as soon as we entered in. I come closer to her and they all shift their gaze to me. Shocked to see me.

Ron makes his way through the crowd when he spots Skyler.

"Ahh!Skyler."

I cough to acknowledge my presence. I am standing right here yet he can't see me. Of course, Why would he? "Boss didn't see you there."

"Of course, you didn't. Skyler, do you mind giving me a moment alone with Ron?" I whisper in her ear because of the loud noise.

"Why not? I will mingle with the other boys." She winks at me.

This girl will be the death of me.

It can't take long. Before I could say something Skyler returns to us."Maybe not. I will stand here."

Better actually. "Fine, Ron here's the deal."

"I am listening."

"Stay away from Skyler." Skyler looked surprised at me. She yells at me glaring. The reaction I was expecting from her."What are you doing?"

"Will you shut up for a second?"

"I don't understand. She is single not to mention beautiful." The guts this man has to wink at her when I just told him to stay away with her.

I punch him and Ron collapses to the ground. How dare he! Then I saw Skyler smiling at him. No Shane you can't do that even if you want to.

"Shane. Stop it." I pulled Skyler by her waist and at first, I could see she hesitated but then she gave in. I could feel the warmth of her body against mine and I could very well say that it is not only me, but she is attracted to me too. I could feel her increasing heartbeat. I don't know what made me say what I said next but I was sure I don't regret it.

"BECAUSE SHE IS MINE..."

(Uh oh. What's next? How will Skyler react to this? What will Shane do next? Shane is jealous and is catching feelings for Skyler. Will he admit it to her or not? Find out in next.)
