Ashley Vs. Boss: A Steamy Office Romance

by Mona Cox

  Alicia and I see Natalie's empty glass and both instinctively finish our drinks as well. I guess it's going to be one of those nights. We're probably going to regret it in the morning, but whatevs, it's a Saturday. And the worst that will happen is we'll be hung over.

  I know when I get hung over I usually get horny. So good thing I have Apollo to scratch that itch.

  See? There I go again, talking about Apollo. Apollo this and Apollo that.

  It's like I should probs just write a book about him and I and get it all outta my system, right?

  One of those romance novellas that Natalie and I were talking about back at Agave when I first fucked Apollo. Yes, I remember all that, okay? I remember everything about the two of us.

  "So what's been up with you, babe?" Natalie asks me as the waiter places a fresh round of drinks in front of us. "You've been so quiet."

  Oh my God. Doesn't she realize that being quiet is what people do when they're in love and they don't want to talk about it 24/7? Or is that just me? Wanting to like keep my happiness inside afraid that if I say anything it'll burst.

  But both Alicia and Natalie are looking at me, and I just can't keep the news to myself.

  I smile at them, and decide now is as good a time to drop the news.

  I reach into my purse and pull out the box I was saving it in and slip it onto my finger as I hold up my hand.

  "Mrs. Apollo Kane!" I squeal, with a 24-karat $120,000 diamond encircled ring flashing on my fingers. "He proposed yesterday!"

  Both Natalie and Alicia squeal and jump up to hug me.

  The other people at the bar look at us. They're probably annoyed at the three of us.

  But whatevs. I don't care. Not tonight.

  Tonight, the world is my oyster. And Apollo and I are going to spend our whole lives sucking it down with a champagne chaser.

  Just watch.

  Mona represents the bygone times of all of us. When we were independent, carefree, and the world was still new and waiting to be explored. When we didn’t have bills and responsibilities and the biggest thing on our minds was finding that perfect dress to wear on the date with the perfect guy and how long we wanted to wait till we let him take it off.

  Whenever possible, Alexis seeks to co-write with others as she seeks to learn and grow as an author.
