He spun in his chair and gave his smile when he realized I was watching him. With his free hand he tapped his lap. I instantly took my place and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smelt amazing like he always did. I had only been away from him one night and I had missed him like crazy.
“Okay, I'll call you back” He put the phone down and all his attention focused on me. He kissed my forehead and his fingers began to twirl round in my hair. “I missed you.”
I looked at him surprised. He was feeling the exact way I was. “Really, Mr Thomas?” I replied in a joking manner. “You are getting soppy in old age!”
“I was thinking maybe we should get a place with each other.”
I rolled my eyes. We had this discussion before, I thought he was fine with everything?
“We can't” I stressed looking deep into his blue intoxicating eyes. I quickly looked away as I couldn't bare ever seeing the hurt expression on his wonderful face.
“Miss Dawson,” he said in his boss voice. “What is the big deal you keep making out of it? We practically live with one another as it is and we work together.”
“You know what the big deal is.”
His mouth twitched and his free hand rubbed his brow. “That fucking Knob head?”
“No.. It's just...” I watched him roll his eyes. “Fine! Mainly because of that.”
He let out a sigh of annoyance. “When are we going to move on?” He rested his head on the back of his throne. “You know Blake has moved on? Apparently your best friend has given him a job.” My eyes widen. “You don't know?” Maxwell looked shocked.
“No!”
Why didn't she tell me?
I was really pissed off. She was meant to be my best friend and now she was hiring my ex. Why?
I felt like I had been stabbed in the back my the only other I could truly rely on. Maxwell tighten his grip of me and I once again I buried my head into his neck.
“Can I stay at yours tonight?”
“Why don't we just make it permanent?”
I rolled my eyes. This man never knew when to give up! Then the the voice of reason asked me the unasked question.
What was the actual problem with moving in with him?
And I didn't have an answer.
There was a lot of truth in what he had said. Why did everything always feel rushed? Now I couldn't possibly carry on living with Amy not if she was working with Blake.
I slowly looked up at him and traced my finger along his strong jaw line. I guess I could give it ago. There was nothing stopping me from living with the man I longed to be with.
“Okay” I smiled and planted a kiss on his soft cheek.
“Well about fucking time” he laughed. “I'll call the estate agent.”
“We won't just live at yours?”
Maxwell threw his head back and gave a big laugh. “Oh no, Miss Dawson. A new house and a new start. For both of us, we deserve this more than you know.”
“When will you call them?”
“Today” he beamed. “Now go and do your work, Miss Dawson.” I stood up and looked at his face. His eyes were sparkling and the smile was permanently on his face. I turned and left his office. The feeling of pride fulfilled me. I had made my Mr Golden Rule happy and that was all that mattered now.

I placed my bag down and the sound of muffed giggles was coming from Amy's bedroom. A little smile came to my lips. Her lover must be here. I had to quickly grab what I needed and rush out. Out of nowhere someone came running out of the room. My smile evaporated and I had to keep blinking just to make sure it wasn't my imagination getting the better of me.
Before me half naked with his blonde hair all roughed up was Blake!
He froze at the sight of me and his eyes swept over me. This was the first time we had laid eyes on each other since he confessed what he had done to the witch.
We didn't speak. We just stood still staring at one another.
“Blake!” Amy laughed running out of her room. She looked at me and her face fell. “George!” She sounded shocked. I don't know why? I thought I lived here. “I thought you were staying at Maxwell's?”
“I am” I replied, finally my eyes left Blake. “I had to grab a few bits.” I looked to Amy and then back to Blake. It all made sense to me now....Why she thought it would get complicated. Not only had she given him a job, he was the one she had fallen in love with. He was the one she was willing to pick over me.
What sort of friend would do that?
Was she that desperate she had to have my rejects or had she fucked all the single men in Oxford?
I couldn't stay here. I had to go. I was seriously in a state of utter shock!
“George, you okay?” Blake asked.
I gave an hysterical laugh. He was still calling me George. As for asking if I was okay, well what did he think? Did I look okay? Was this just another normal day for me?
NO!
I narrowed my eyes and glared at Amy. She was wearing Blake’s T-shirt, in fact the one I had given him for Christmas last year. She looked down at the floor and began to shift from foot to foot.
What now she was looking for some sympathy?
“I was going to tell you. I'm sorry, I just didn't know how.”
“I'm moving out!” I blurted out. “Maxwell and I are going to find a place of our own.”
“Don't be like this?”
“Like what?” I hissed.
Blake began to back away to Amy’s room. “I think I should go and get dressed.”
“I think you should!” I hissed at him this time. Blake left me and Amy alone.
Amy folded her arms in front of her. “What is your fucking problem?”
I gave a little laugh. Like she had to ask. If someone round here had a problem, it was the bloke who smashed his Mothers head in and was now sleeping with my best friend. The front door opened and Maxwell strolled in. Immediately I ran over to him and fell into his strong arms.
“What's going on?” he asked protecting me with his arms.
“Nothing!” Blake reappeared from Amy's room and this time fully dressed. “Georgina has just found out me and Amy are together.” I felt Maxwell tense up at the sight of him. “Which is really quite funny.... As I do believe she left me for you!”
“Shut the fuck up, Waterman!” Maxwell snarled. His voice turned into that loving tone he only used for me. “I'll buy you what you need.”
“See George, he'll buy you what you need.” He looked very smug with himself. “Wonder who offered him money this time?”
“Blake!” Amy screamed at him.
We began to make our way out of that place.

“You what to watch that one, Mr Thomas” Blake called behind us. “She has a tendency of fucking behind your back!”
Maxwell grabbed hold of my hand and dragged me outside. We walked over to his car and I got inside. I could no longer control my tears. I couldn't be friends with Amy now. Besides, I didn't need her as a friend.
This was it now. This was my new start. A new start with the man I loved.
Maxwell got into his seat and grabbed hold of my hand. “It will be all right. You have me now and that is all you need.”
I took in his words. He was right. Maxwell Thomas was all I needed. Amy and Blake could rot in hell for I cared. I had a new life now and there was no room for HER in it!

CHAPTER 6
Even after all this time I still wanted to punch his face in. The sight of that smug face dragging my girl out of Amy's flat. A voice laughed in my head.
My girl?
Georgina Dawson was no longer mine and hadn't been for what felt like a life time. I grabbed a beer from the fridge and sat at the breakfast bar. She did look amazing. She was more beautiful than I had remembered her to be. I opened the can and downed at least half.
“Hey” Riley smiled making his way into the kitchen. “Thought you had a hot dat
e tonight?”
“It got gate crashed!”
Riley grabbed himself a beer and sat opposite me. He opened his can and tilted his head to the side. He looked confused. “The ex?”
“Georgina” I reminded him.
He raised an eyebrow. “What was she doing there?”
“She lives there with Amy. Well, she did she's moving in with him now” I spat, even saying it left a dirty taste in my mouth.
Riley took a sip of his beer and looked back at me. “What was this Georgina like?”
I pulled out my phone and clicked on to the photo album. I scrolled through and found a picture. It was taken at the engagement party, Georgina was wearing the peach dress I had brought her for her birthday. We were so happy, that's what I thought. The whole time she was sneaky around with HIM! I handed the phone to Riley.
“Wow!” He whistled. “No wonder it hit you hard.”
“Just seeing her today brought back everything.” I slammed my fist on the breakfast bar. I fucking hated that bastard for what he had done to me. He had destroyed everything when he took away what was mine. All my dreams and hopes gone. I ran a hand through my hair and took in a deep breath.
“Forget about her” Riley said.
If only it was as simple as that. I had tried, in so many ways I had tried.
“I can't” I cried. “I'm pathetic, after everything that has happened” I stopped and I could feel my heart racing. “I love her still. I thought I didn't but I do.”
“Blake, honestly man. She doesn't love you and she isn't thinking about you either.”
I knew he was telling the truth but … “You should of seen her reaction!”
Riley shook his head and glared at me. “She found her best friend was banging the ex!”
I gave a little laugh. “Nice use of words.”
“What can I say I'm gifted” he shrugged.
My phone began to ring. I was really pathetic it was still Georgina's favourite song- The kings of Leon I want you. Amy was showing up on the caller ID. I rolled my eyes and Riley noticed.
“Not in a hurry to talk to her?”
“No, I'll let it go to voice mail.”
“Lets go out” Riley suggested. Why was he always up for going out? “Look,” he began. “You need to have some fun. Amy is not right for you considering who her best friend is.”
I rested my head in my hands. “I wish I could get some sort of revenge on that Knob!”

I couldn't wait for the weekend! The estate agent had given us a fantastic bunch of houses to view. A wave of excitement washed over me. I was finally going to settle down and make a home with the woman I loved.
Wow, I was such an adult now.
I had come a long way since meeting her. Sometimes I had to pinch myself just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, as everything felt too good to be true at times.
Everything was going well. I had a list of new clients and now the partner business in LA. A smug smile appeared on my face. Finally I was rich, not like that exactly mattered. I did enjoy spending every penny on my Miss Dawson.
“Mr Thomas,” Georgina said entering my office. “Someone is here to speak to you.”
I looked her up and down. How come every time I was itches away from her crude thoughts would invade my mind and there was only thing I could possibly do to her. I found it very difficult to separate our relationship from work. At the end of the day I always had where she was concerned.
“Do they have an appointment?” I gave her my knicker combustion smile and she began to bite down on that rose bud lip.
“No” she said seductively answering my spoken and unspoken question.
“Let them in.”
She gave a little smile while walking out. Before she left the office, she spun round and blew me a kiss.
A young man walked in a few moments later. He was tall, dark hair and spooky grey eyes. You could tell by the sight of him he was a model. He was dressed in a black suit and white shirt.
“Mr Thomas” he gave a perfect white smile. He held out his hand and I rose from my seat. I shook his hand and nodded to him to take a seat himself. “I am happy you agreed to speak to me.” I took my seat and watched him very confidently take his in front of me.
“And you are?”
“Riley Donovan.”
I rested my elbow on the arm of my chair and rested my head in my hand. “And your here because...??”
He sat froward and placed his hands on my desk. I rose an eyebrow and he quickly removed his hands. “I want you to be my agent.”
My lips twitched with amusement. “And you do what exactly?”
“I'm a model but I would like to try a little acting.”
I shifted in my seat and took him in. I could do with some more male clients. Plus, he was a good-looking man. I could make a fair bit of money out of this. I wasn't going to agree just yet, I was enjoying this.
“Do you currently have an agent?” He gave a nod. “Have you sighed anything?”
“No!” I sat back in relief, I couldn't deal with legal stuff. “Amy Alexis is good but I have been told your best.”
Another smug smile appeared on my face. How much more smug could I get? I rubbed my bottom lip as I thought. I wouldn't exactly be stealing her client, would I? He did come and beg me for a job. I was just helping out another person. You could say it was my good deed for the day.
“Okay, give my PA your details and we will take it from there.”
He jumped out of his seat with a massive smile on his face. “Thank you, Mr Thomas. You will not regret this at all” he sounded very grateful.
“I believe your the one that won't regret this.” My voice lowered and I gave him the glare.

“As from now your career is in my hands. I can either make you or break you.” He gave a little nod, I could tell he understood and I intimidated him. Well, at the end of the day I was the boss and how I loved being the boss!!
“Who was that bloke who spoke to you today?” Georgina asked. We were sat cross legged on the floor eating good old fashion British fish and chips from the paper.
I placed a chip into my mouth. “My new investment” I chirped with pride.
Georgina tilted her head to the side and gave an amused smile. “Does this investment have a name or does he come with a price tag?”
“Riley Donovan” I answered.
Georgina's eyes opened wide in shock. “That's Amy’s client!” She gasped.
“And?” I gave her the knicker combustion smile. Her eyes narrowed, she was pissed at me. “What?” I laughed, she knew how I worked. When it came down to business I wasn't sentimental. Only when it came down to my Miss Dawson.
“You can't steal her clients!” She sounded like my Mother.
“I didn't” I stressed. “He came asking me for a job. Besides, isn't there a tiny bit of you thinking she deserves this?”
“Your getting personal, Mr Thomas” she joked.
“Is that a bad thing?” She lowered her eyes and gave a breath taking smile. I crawled over to her, grabbed her face and pulled it up allowing our eyes to meet. “Since meeting you I have changed.”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“No, you are the second best thing to ever happen to me in my whole entire life. I can never imagine us not being together.” A little smile sprung to her lips and I traced it with my fingertips. “I love you, Miss Dawson.” I finally pressed my lips against hers and we fell into a luscious kiss. Everything about her enlighten my arousal. Her hands began to brush up and down my chest. Even her touch was captivating.
“Bed?” She groaned with her lips still pressed up against mine.
“I can't go that far. I need you here and now.”
Our kiss turned heavy and fast. I pushed her back until she was laying on the carpet. My mouth moved down to her neck and I bit her. She screamed with shock. I slowly moved my hand down and up her skirt and then the ot
her hand followed. In one quick brisk pull I ripped her knickers apart. She squealed in delight. I sat back on my heels never taking my eyes off her and slowly unfastened my trouser buttons. My manhood was free and standing ridge. I laid back down on top on her, she lifted up her hips and I filled her completely.
Our lips reunited back into that kiss. Her legs wrapped around my hips and I began to pump fast in and out of her. Her head rested back in to the carpet and she began to scream loudly. My hands moved round to underneath her arse. I grabbed it tightly and slammed into her repetitively. I felt her legs tighten around me, her heels digging into my back and without warning I came with her.
I slumped down on top of her. “See Miss Dawson, how can you not live without that?”
“I can't live without you” she softly said with her fingertips playing in my hair.
“Then you and me, Miss Dawson... We are one of a kind.”

CHAPTER 7
All the houses looked amazing. Mr Golden Rule had demanded I took a look at them before the actual viewings tomorrow. I actually had a few moments to sit down and look. Maxwell was at a meeting and the office was quiet for a change. That didn't last very long as the phone began to ring.
“Hello Maxwell's stars. Georgina Dawson speaking” I answered in my telephone voice.
“George!” Maxwell yelled down the phone, he sounded very stressed out. “I'm stuck in a meeting and I'm meant to be escorting Riley to his first photo shoot. So, you have to go. I'll send a car to pick you up.”
“But?” I protested.
“This is not a request it's an order” he said in his boss voice. How that voice sent tingles down my spine. His voice changed instantly. “You looking through the property's?”
“Yes” I replied, sometimes he could make me feel like a child. This really frustrated me but I was slowly getting use to his ways.
