Chapter Five
The paperwork with Viv felt like it took forever. I was surprised at how much I had to sign and read. Making my way back to my desk I checked the time, it was six in the evening and it was dark outside.
I was thinking about the interview and how strange it was. I was only asked three questions and the job was mine. This was supposed to be an important role, and the interview was barely an interview. I was asked more questions when I applied to my original job. Something was seriously off about it, and I had a bad feeling about it.
When I got to my desk, Sarah was sitting there, in her own world. "Sarah? What are you still doing here?"
"I was waiting for you to come back," she said hoping out of her daze. "So, tell me, How was it?"
"Well, I got the job." I excitedly let out.
Sarah let out a gasp, she shot out from her seat, pulling me in for a hug. "Congratulations! I knew you could do it!"
I finally managed to wriggle out the hug. "Thank you. But, I have a strange feeling about this."
"What? Why?" Sarah shook her head, furrowing her brows.
"The interview was so strange. I was only asked three questions, about ten minutes later I was offered the job. I never even got to say what I wanted to say, I didn't get to talk about my my abilities and why I want this job."
Sarah stood there looking at me, "Are you being serious? Who cares? You got this job, so, let's go and celebrate." Sarah started waving her hands around, as she wiggled herself jokingly.
"Sarah stop! I'm serious, this is not just any job, it's quite important and I got it without talking about whether I have the abilities to do it. Do you not find that a bit strange?"
"Oh my!" Sarah said putting her arms around my shoulders. "You need to chill. You got the job, be happy. At least see how it is, if you don't like it, I'm sure you can ask to leave."
I thought about Sarah's words, maybe she was right. I got the job I should be happy, so what if I wasn't asked proper questions, I still got the job.
"So which club are we going to celebrate?" I asked, wriggling my eyebrows.
Sarah's face lit up like a lightbulb, "Now that's what I'm talking about. Let's go and get drunk!"
I started to laugh, Sarah was acting like she was already drunk.
"First things first, I need to go home, I need to tell Calum. I don't know if he'll be happy for me-"
"Who cares about him, let him know, if he wants to join us he's more than welcome to. If not, forget him." Sarah interrupted me as she gathered her things and made her way out. I quickly grabbed my things and followed her.

Driving on my way home I started to feel happy and giddy about getting this new job. I was suspicious at first, but Sarah talked some sense into me. Entering the apartment, I noticed Calum sitting on the couch.
I was in a really good mood. I felt ecstatic. Joy was rippling through my body.
I dropped my bag on the floor and made my way to Calum. I stood behind the couch and crouched over putting my hands on his shoulders. I started to plant little kisses on his neck.
"Guess what?" I soothingly said, wrapping my arm around him, working my kisses from his neck, to the side of his face.
"Babe, what are you doing?" He mumbled.
I walked around the couch to sit on his lap, wrapping my legs around him. I placed my arms around his neck and started to nibble at his lips.
"I said, guess what?" I deviously chuckled.
"What?" Calum responded, sliding his arms around my hips pulling me closer to him. I bite down on my lips, this was the most we had been intimate in a long time. I stopped pecking at his lips and looked into his eyes.
"I got the promotion, I start on Monday! You're looking at the new personal assistant for Alexander Pierce." I carried on kissing his neck, but his arms dropped from my hips.
"You applied to the job?" Calum asked in a confused tone.
I stopped to look at him, surprised at his tone.
"What do you mean by that?" I questioned sternly.
"This job? You're just going to be running around a rich twat that can't do anything for himself." He jabbed his words, as if he had some kind of hatred towards it.
This seriously cannot be what's coming out of his mouth right now. I got up from his lap and backed away.
"Are you serious? I already told you it's not like that. It's an important role!" I replied defending myself.
"Louisa, I don't want you to do this, you didn't even tell me you applied."
My head cocked to the side, my brows slopped downwards as I try to get an understanding of his response.
"What?" I asked, "I can't believe you right now. I just got a promotion and you can't even be happy with me. You know what, I am bloody happy and I am going out to celebrate." Without saying another word, I stormed to the bedroom to get ready.
After twenty minutes of fumbling around I got ready for the club and left without saying anything to Calum. I decided to get a taxi and meet Sarah at the club. Calum's reaction pissed me off, so my plan was to get so drunk off my face.
I saw Sarah waiting outside, I ran towards her putting my arms around her shoulders.
"Are you ready to get absolutely hammered?" I squealed in excitement.
"Yes!" Sarah laughed, "What about Calum? Did you tell him?"
"This night is a Calum free zone! Now, forget him and let's go."
Without hesitation we both entered the club. We were welcomed with loud music. The beat of the music made every sense in my body heightened. Strobe lights were in every inch of the club illuminating the dance floor.
As we got to the bar, we ordered shots to get the night started. Downing three shots, I pulled Sarah to the dance floor. We started dancing to the beat of the music, swaying side to side.
The night consisted of going to the bar downing shots and dancing away. I don't know how long we did that for, but at one moment I ended up losing Sarah. Stumbling around the dance floor, trying to locate Sarah, I noticed a familiar face. The lighting didn't help but as I focused on the face, I realised who it was.
It was him, mystery guy. The guy that had never left my mind since meeting him on Monday. This was the third time seeing him, and he looked hotter tonight then he did previously.
His eyes find its way to me, he gave me a warm and welcoming smile. I made my way to him, trying not to stumble in my high heels.
"You again." I shouted over the loud music.
"We meet again." He bellowed over the music. "How are you?"
"I'm good. I applied and got the job. " I blurted out.
"No way. That's great news congratulations! Let me buy you drink."
The loud music took over my ability to speak so I nodded, we made our way to the bar and he ordered me a cocktail. The cocktail was gone in the space of two seconds, so I ordered shots. We downed the shots.
"Dance with me?" I asked feeling brave.
He nodded and we made our way to the dance floor. At first, we were dancing apart, but as the music started to take over my body, we got closer and closer, till our bodies were flushed together. I ended up wrapping my arms around his neck, he wrapped his arms around my waist. We were moving in sync to the music.
As I was dancing, I didn't realise I turned around, facing away from him, my back was flush against his body. One arm around his neck, the other holding his hand. The touch of his hands felt so good. In one swift move he spun me around and I was facing him again. But this time our faces were inches away from each other.
His beautiful eyes were staring in to mine and in that moment, it felt like everything around us slowed down, the music faded and it felt like we were the only ones in the club. Being so close to his face made me realise how insanely hot he was. The way he was looking at me made my cheeks grow red, I couldn't tell if he knew I was blushing.
I could feel my breathing get heavy; he had some kind of effect on me. Still staring deep into my eyes, our lips started to get closer and closer till we were kissing each other. I abruptly back away realising what I had just done, but for some reason that short kiss felt so good. Without thinking I grabbed him and kissed him back, this time the kiss lasted longer. As the music was playing, we continued to kiss, my hips moved around against him, my hand explored his body.
This night was the best I had in a while and probably a night I will never forget...
A/N
Calum not being supportive of the promotion... red flag? Why do you think Calum is being like this?
And mystery guy is back! And this time it looks like it's getting steamy between him and Louisa...
But was she right in letting herself go and kissing him...
