After a long day, I finally stepped out of the grand building. I closed my eyes and let my face feel the cool breeze. A slow and long sigh escaped from my mouth. Checking my phone, I take note of the time indicating it was half past six.

I felt like I got nothing done, but I was still rushed off my feet. Sorting my new computer, alongside the emails, and understanding the important stuff; It was all tedious and took a very long time.

When I get into my car, I dialled Sarah's number. Soon after I start to drive off, Sarah picked up.

"Hey, how are you, how was your first day?" She asked straight away, sounding relatively better from when I spoke to her last.

"Hey Sarah, forget me, how's your mum?" I replied ignoring her question.

"She's doing okay, she got discharged from the hospital today, just helping her get around. She's in a bit of pain, but the main thing is she is okay. Now tell me how was your first day."

I pondered on the idea of telling her about the whole situation. She was going to find out somehow, so I thought I'd get it all out in the open.

"Come on... Tell me." Sarah impatiently voiced through the phone.

"Okay, okay." I sighed. "Well, where do I even begin? You'll never guess who my bloody boss is."

"What? Who?" Sarah blurted out.

"New boss is mystery guy. Can you believe it? Alexander Pierce is mystery guy." I exclaimed over the phone.

There was a silence. I could tell Sarah was speechless.

"No way... Stop! I don't believe you." She finally let out.

"I'm not kidding, he is my boss." A slight nervous chuckle withers from me, still not believing the words coming out of my mouth.

Sarah let out a shocked gasp.

"That is actually so crazy. You get to work with that sexy hunk who you shared a night of passion with." Sarah mischievously yelped.

I rolled my eyes, I could feel her devious smile through the phone. "Sarah... Don't remind me. We are to not talk about that night ever again. It was a moment of madness, it should have never happened."

"If you say so." Sarah mischievously said. "Is it not going to be awkward working with him?"

"No it won't, he said to me he's willing to move past it, so am I. He's my boss, I'm his employee that's all."

Sarah stayed silent again. "Hmm okay then, but still, how lucky are you, to be working with an absolute hunk of a guy like that."

"Oh shut it. Anyway I got to go now I've just parked up. I'll have to see what mood Calum is in, that's if he's home. I'll speak to you tomorrow." I said whilst parking up.

"Alright then, I'll speak to you tomorrow, bye." Sarah chimed down the phone, eventually hanging up.

I thought about Sarah's word. Why did I feel lucky to be working with Alexander? All of a sudden I noticed a shy smile creep upon my face, I quickly brushed it away.

After pondering in the car, I walked in to the apartment and find Calum sprawled out on the couch, mesmerised on his phone. I wondered how long he was slouched in that position. He didn't even acknowledge my presence.

I deliberately made some noise by shaking my bag and coughing to get his attention. Yet, he was still glued on his phone.

I gave up trying to obtain his attention and made my way to the bedroom, setting my bag down, and straight into the bathroom starting my hot and steamy bubble bath.

After the bathtub was full, I stripped my clothes off and slowly dipped my foot in the bath, wincing at how hot the water was, eventually I braced myself and submerged my body into the water.

I closed my eyes leaning back. My body felt relaxed. The bubbles made my skin soft under the water. I started to lather in the bubbles. Alexander appeared in my mind. The image of him approaching me at the club, the memories of dancing and kissing him, flashed through me. That first image I saw when seeing him as my boss was circulating around my head.

I didn't realise, that as I had many images of him in my mind, my hand started to wonder. At first I moved them around my chest, then over my breasts, then to my hips. My hands ended up between my thighs. Just as I was about to succumb to my pleasure, I come to the realisation of what I was doing. My eyes shoot open and I abruptly got up, causing the water to splash onto the floor.

I felt slightly out of breath. What was I doing? What was I thinking? I stood in the bath for a while, trying to gather my thoughts. I shouldn't be doing this. I had enough of my bath. I quickly got out, drained the bath and cleaned up the spilt water. Wrapping the towel around, I exited out of the bathroom.

I sit on the edge of my bed, still trying to comprehend what I was doing. Why am I thinking like this? I love Calum. Calum is my life, I continuously repeated in my head.

Shaking the thoughts out of me, I get changed into some comfy pyjamas. When I go to the living room, I see Calum in the same position I left him in. Laying down, glued to the phone. It's like he had no clue to what was happening around him, he was like a zombie.

"Hello?" I tried to get his attention.

"Hey babe." Calum replied in a monotone voice.

"I'm good, thanks for asking." I sarcastically bite back.

This managed to get his attention.

"What was that for?" He asked looking confused, while laughing slightly.

I scoffed at him, "Well, I've come back from work, you've not said a word to me. You also haven't even bothered to ask how my first day was. You do remember I started my new job, right?"

"Oh yeah that." His words came out in a very dull tone.

I just stared at him, dumbfounded by his simple answers. I stormed over to him, grabbing his phone and throwing it on to the other couch.

"Oi! What did you do that for?" Calum exclaimed.

"Do you even care?" I angrily asked.

"What do you mean? Of course I care." Calum got up from the couch to retrieve his phone.

"I've started my new job today, you haven't even bothered to ask me how it was. I understand you weren't too happy with it, but I thought you got over it. I thought you would try and be happy for me, at least support me."

"Louisa." Calum sighed. "You're right I'm not happy, look at what time you came back. This new job is going to take up most of your time."

"So? You are barely in anyways, you're always out, so what does it matter?"

"Still, when I get home it's nice if you're home."

I looked at him in disgust. Did he really expect me to wait on him, be ready with a full course meal for him.

"Did you really just say that?" I scoffed. "Well maybe if you had a job, I could stop working, then you can come to a clean apartment with a cooked meal. But, you don't have a bloody job! You're too fucking lazy and incompetent!"

"Will you give it a rest!" Calum shouted. "Job this, Job that! I'm sick and tired of you constantly telling me to get a job. I will in my own time."

I started to laugh hysterically. The utter bullshit that was coming from his mouth was ridiculous.

"Are you hearing yourself right now?" I shouted back. "How do you expect to pay bills and for the groceries? I'm sorry for being passionate about my career, you already knew how passionate I was when we first met. So if there's an opportunity to expand my career and if that means coming home late, then I will gladly fucking take that opportunity."

"Oh whatever. I'm sick of this bullshit." Calum spat out his word and started to put his shoes on and retrieve his keys.

"Yeah that's right, leave. You can't handle the truth, you don't even want to listen-"

Before I could even finish my sentence, Calum slammed the door shut. I screamed in frustration, grabbing the pillow on the couch and throwing it towards the door.

I marched to the bedroom slamming the door behind me. I let out another scream. I was suddenly not feeling guilty about having those thoughts about Alexander. I locked the bedroom door and lay down on the bed to finish what I started, when I was in the bath. This time I didn't feel guilty about doing it as I was overwhelmed with anger.

I was probably going to regret doing it, but I needed it. Calum made love between us very absent, I felt hollow around him, and the only thing that was remotely close to feeling something was the kiss with Alexander.

I just wanted to feel something.

I closed my eyes and the images of Alexander automatically filtered in to my mind. I proceeded to succumb to my erratic thoughts and desire...

A/N

Sarah is that mischievous friend... who loves Sarah!?

And what are your thoughts on Calum? What is the true reason of him being lazy and not caring?

Does he love Louisa?
