Quick question: Alejandro x Heather or Edward x Heather?

Please answer, I need to know!!!

Dedicated to CITPrincess

You know in the movies where the cheating boyfriend gets exposed by a person? The sweet, delicious feeling of suspense the person feels, exposing cheaters as they are?

I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this. Now the tables are turned. My phone kept on vibrating and it was a no brainier who it was from.

                "I can't wait for tomorrow," I said, cheekily. Tomorrow was Saturday and fortunately for me, we worked on Saturdays. Which meant Linda would see Alejandro, and you know what that meant. It was about to go down.

                    "Let's see what Jace has to say about this," I turned to the girl, who was in tears, right now. Her eyes shot up in alarm and her face became pale.

                      "Please, don't. It was all him. He seduced me when we were eating. I swear I would never hurt Jace on purpose," She begged. Well...she did stop Alejandro to tell him that she was with Jace. But nonetheless, she was still on the chopping block.

                      "I know, but one question. Why didn't you push him off?" I swear, I can be a detective or a cop or something. I hit the nail on her forehead and I was certain the girl was feeling a lot of remorse. 

The girl continued to cry and I put my phone inside my undergarment, because I could see how Alejandro wanted to toss it out the window or flush it in the toilet. 

                     "But I'll do you a solid. I won't tell him, okay? Just be stronger next time," I sympathized. "I know you weren't thinking straight so I swear that I won't tell him,"

                  The girl looked at me like I was some angel from heaven. "Thank you so much. I owe you one," She ran up and hugged me. My hands stood by my side but at some point, I patted her on the back.

                When she got off me, I turned to Alejandro. "You," I pointed at him. I then pointed to the door. "Get out. Now! You make me sick to the stomach," I barked.

Alejandro obeyed but he shot me a death glare and I gave him a big smile. I got tissue for the girl to blow her nose. I, then, spent 15 minutes with her, consoling her and helping her freshen up.

                 "You're my hero, Heather. How do you know Alejandro?" She asked, putting lipstick. I sighed and sat on the bench available.

"It's kind of a long story," I admitted, and honestly, I wasn't in the mood to share it.

        "I understand if you don't want to share it," She said quietly, putting her makeup kit back into her bag.

           "No, it's not that. Okay it is, but I'll just tell you that he played with me too," I told her and she turned to look at me. My eyes darted to the ground and I held the ends of the bench.

I was not going to cry. Not because of him. I'm stronger than that.

               "I'm so sorry," I felt arms around me and I embraced them. I barely knew this girl yet she was really friendly. Heck, I don't even remember her name and she seems to know mine.

               "It's okay. Do you mind reminding me your name again? Edward said the names so fast that the only name I could catch was Jace," I let go of her.

"Chantal," Chantal said and I repeated her name several times to memorize it.

             "Okay Chantal. We better be leave before the boys get concerned about where we are," I got up and so did she.

We, then, left the bathrooms and we pretended as if nothing happened because what happened in the bathrooms, stayed in the bathrooms.

Saturday morning. I woke up even before the alarm rang. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and immediately, I knew this would be a good day.

Skipping into the shower, I remembered Linda's texts. Anger could not describe how she felt -that was an understatement. Let's just say, I had never seen so much vulgar language in a sentence.

Well, she was dating one of the most hottest and richest person in America where his reputation was playing with girls. She should have known that.

I felt really bad for her. I'm just glad that I could expose him, before things got ugly. She could walk into his office to catch him making out with his secretary or something.

I was alone in the house and I felt free. Trevor wasn't here even though I missed Lily like crazy. Lily had replied to the video I sent and she was peeved off. She sent me photos of where she and Trevor went to and the place was paradise. She was totally living it up there.

I changed into a dress; the top half was grey and white with roses, and the bottom was a black, fitting skirt. I wore my black bow flats with them and straightened my hair, letting it fall above my waist. I pinned it into place, grabbed my purse and went to Starbucks for a quick breakfast.

After that, I walked into the building, with a mug of coffee in my hand. Linda, surprisingly, wasn't in her usual seat at the reception.

Hearing voices, I cautiously followed them and it led to Alejandro's office. The voices grew more distinct and louder with every step I took. A few moments later, there was the sound of glass breaking.  

                    The door was partly open but I still knocked on the door. Silenced filled the room before I heard Alejandro grumble, "Come in,"

                     I walked in, avoiding the glass on the floor and took a sip from my coffee. "I'm reporting for work," I said.

All the yelling came from Linda because she was glaring at Alejandro and panting heavily. Alejandro has a few cuts and bruises on his left side of the face.

                     Alejandro eyed me up and down, before looking at my coffee cup. "Your first job, assistant, is to get me the same coffee you're drinking. I want coffee right now," He got out his wallet and handed me money. "Get out of my face. I'm kind of busy at the moment,"

I narrowed my eyes at how he snapped at me but nonetheless, I obeyed his orders. I may not like Alejandro at the moment but I've got to keep reminding myself that he is my boss, whether I like it or not.

15 minutes later, I came back with a second cup of coffee and found Linda at her work station. When she saw me, she got up and stopped me.

                  "Thanks," She breathed, giving me a bear hug. "I would see him flirting with other girls but I was too blind and stubborn to accept the fact that he would cheat with me. That's why I was rude to you at first. All he talked about was you. When we came to sit at your table, it was because he wanted to sit there. You looked like a threat to me but I now see that you aren't. I'm so grateful,"

I was baffled. He talked about me? He wanted to sit with me? This was all very confusing.

             "Hey, no worries. Still up for Sunday shopping spree?" I asked, to cheer her up from her foul mood.

            Linda nodded. "I wouldn't miss it for the world," That reminded me of what Alejandro and Edward said last night in the car.

                "One problem though," I let go of her and looked at her. I never really noticed how short she was. She was like a dwarf, compared to me.

                 "We are having intruders," I said and as expected, Linda raised an eyebrow. "Edward squealed to Alejandro so they are coming as well,"

                "What? But they don't know what time we're coming," Linda pointed out.

                 I nodded in agreement. "Yes, but Edward still told Alejandro so we might bump into them,"

               "Why that...! I'm going to kill him!" Linda rolled up her sleeves and marched towards the corridor.

As much as I would have loved to see her pummel Edward, I had to give this hot coffee to Alejandro. I rapped on the door and immediately gave it to him because it was burning my fingers.

Alejandro was on a phone call and he nodded at me, then pushed a file for me. I quickly grabbed it and I went to my office to begin typing.

               "Heather Elizabeth Sandos!" Edward marched to where I was seated, his jelly wobbling side to side because of how hard he was marching.

               "How do you know my full name?" I asked, sipping my water. Edward slammed his tray down on the table and he sat opposite of me.

                "Not important. Do you know what your mate Linda did to me?" He practically yelled. The entire cafeteria turned to face our table.

                "Edward, you're making a scene," I hissed. Edward gave a small apologetic smile and when everyone's heads was turned, he continued.

                  "I just bought new Calvin Klein underwear and somehow, she managed to rip it out of my pants!" Edward whispered-yelled.

I burst out laughing. I laughed so hard that I attracted everyone's attention again but I didn't care. I clutched onto the sides of my stomach and after a good 2 minutes, I wiped a tear strolling down my cheek.

           Edward was glaring at me the entire time. "My bum is the color of a baboon's butt. If it wasn't for my good looks, I could be confused as one!"

              I continued to laugh at him. Edward stood up and turned around. "Can you tell if I'm wearing underwear or not?"

            I came closer and I shook my head. "Nope, I can't tell. But you have such a small bum," I slapped his butt and he span around.

                  "How dare you touch me inappropriately in public? First of all, if there's any touching to do here, it should be me doing it not you," Edward hissed and I rolled my eyes. Typical Edward.

              "Also, my butt isn't small. It's just right. Just because you have a fat one doesn't mean you can go mocking everyone with it," Edward grabbed my water and began to drink from it.

"Dude, I used my lips to drink that. You're just drinking my spit," I said and he smiled.

                "That means we've kissed," Edward winked. I rolled my eyes again. It's amazing how he's mood can changed from pissed off to cocky.

                "Whatever. Just give me back my water," I put out my arm. Edward looked at the bottle and then at my hand and then me.

               "You want it?" Edward said, standing up and I got a bad feeling in my stomach.

The idiot then had the nerve to pour the water on me, making sure every drop got onto my clothes and my body. I spat out the water and Edward's laugh filled the whole room.

                 "That was hilarious! Revenge is awesome!" Edward snickered. Glaring at him, my eyes flickered at his hot food and a light bulb appeared on my head.

I ran a hand through my hair, grabbed his tray with his hot enchiladas and I poured it down his pants. It was even funnier because he had no underwear on which meant it burnt his thing.

             "Oh my...!" Edward screamed and I began to run because he started to chase me. "I'll get you back Heather. After I get some help, first,"

When I was working, the phone rang. I picked it up and put on my very professional voice. "Al & Co, how may I help you today?"

                     "Well, get your butt into Alejandro's office. He wants to see you," Linda answered. I laughed and hang up.

Luckily, my dress had dried because of its fabric. I straightened it, hit Save and turned off the monitor. Walking into Alejandro's office, I was welcomed by darkness.

                     "Alejandro?" I called. My voice bounced off the walls, making me realize how huge this room was.

                     "Heather," Alejandro span around in his chair, his hands together. "I've been expecting you,"

                     "Cut to the chase, Alejandro. I have work to do," I spat, folding my arms. I felt as if I was in some movie because of how we were acting.

                 "That's no way to talk to your boss. I can fire you for that," Alejandro stood up, walking closer to me.

I just stared at him, blankly. He did not just pull out the I'm-your-boss card. He disgusts me.

              "You've been titillating, mi amor," His smooth voice distracted me from the fact that the growing proximity between us.

             "Don't call me that," I hissed. 

              "I know what you're doing Heather. You're trying to make me jealous," 

              "I have no idea what you are talking about," I gritted my teeth. His laughter reverberated around the office.

              "You're lying," He was so close to me. So close. I could trace the scars on his face with my finger. "Do you still have feelings for me?"

                 "No," I spat. "I'm with Edward and he is an awesome boyfriend, for your information," I turned around and winked at him.

             Alejandro was swift.  

             Soon my back was pressed against the cold wall. He placed his finger on my chin, making me look up. "Look into my eyes and say that again. I dare you to,"

                   I forced myself to look into his eyes and I nearly collapsed on my feet, almost ready to admit my lie. "Sorry," I said sweetly. "No take backs. But I'll say it in a manner that you can understand. Edward is an alluring English man who is a great boyfriend," I stretched the word boyfriend, making Alejandro's grip on me get tighter.

            Arching an eyebrow, his calculating eyes examined mine. Slowly, he arched an eyebrow, tilting my head higher. "You're lying," His eyes grew dark. "Let's play a game. I'll torture you into saying that you still have feelings for me because deep down, I know that it's true,"

He's right.

             "I will torture you for exactly one month and if you don't admit it by then, I'll leave you alone," Alejandro continued.

            "Deal," I said immediately. This wasn't going to work. I'm smarter than that and 3 years ago, my life was a mess and I can't let the same bastard make my life a disaster again.

            "I'll time 10 minutes everyday, around this time, and I will do whatever I please to you and you will do it or else you're fired," Alejandro's finger left my chin, allowing my head to dip down. 

        "Whatever you say, boss," I rolled my eyes. This was really stupid. He should have saved himself the trouble and just left me alone.

        "Starting now,"

Dun, dun, dun!!

I really love cliffhangers, don't you?

Will Heather stay strong or will she crumble at Alejandro's feet?
