{Xavier Knight}

Walking into the club, the first thing I notice is sweaty bodies pressed against each other and loud music.

I spot my friends and walk over to them before greeting everyone.

"BOSS! I didn't know you were coming tonight," Andrew, one of my closer members, yells.

"Of course, he came. It's my birthday and he loves me," Dante rolls his eyes and then goes back to talking to Leo, another member.

I chuckle a bit before looking around, this place is always so packed.

"Xavier, hey," I turn my head to the sound of the voice, why the fuck is she talking to me.

I ignore her and continue looking around, I spot Hannah, Andrew's girlfriend, walking over to us.

"Hey Xav, where is Andrew?" she questions, hugging me.

I look around, "he went to get drinks I think," I didn't even see him leave.

"Oh, I'll wait. How have you been?" she smiles.

"Good, busy as always but it is his birthday so came out for that," I point to Dante, "what about you?"

"Great! I got a job," she informs, I'm surprised Andrew didn't cry about that.

"Yeah I heard, Andrew has been with us way too much," I had asked him if anything happened with Hannah and he told me she got a job.

"Yeah, I'm sad I don't get to hang out with him as much," she sighs, "but I was done staying home all the time."

"I get that," I agree, "if you enjoy it, do it. Andrew will always be there."

"Hey, babe," Andrew appears, holding two drinks in his hand. He sets them down and kisses Hannah, then they start making out. Okay...

I look over at the bar wondering if I should get a drink. Yeah, fuck it.

"Xavier, please don't ignore me," why is she still here, "why are you being like this?"

I continue walking to the bar, still ignoring her.

"Fine! If you want to be like that. Go for it. you have changed," she mumbles. Wow, really? Did I really change after 3 years? That's crazy.

I hear her huff and she walks away. God damn, finally.

"What was that about?" Dante walks over, "why is she talking to you?"

"I don't know, I just ignored her," I shrug.

"Two tequila shots, please. Keep them coming," Dante orders from the bar.

"We're going to be fucked," I mumble.

"Yeah. That's the point," he rolls his eyes, "Now drink," he hands me the shot when it arrives.

I down the shot before the bartender brings another one.

It's his birthday and if he wants me to get fucked up, that's what will happen.

I continue drinking more and more till I forget, "let's dance!" I don't know who suggests that but now we are all dancing.

I look to my right and find Andrew and Hannah still making out. We are all so used to it now, they are always on top of each other.

The rest of the night is just blacked out. It was fun.

When I open my eyes I hiss, 'why is it so bright?'

It's so hot. When my eyes finally adjust I look around to see I'm at Dante's house.

Then I see that there are two bodies cuddled into me.

"What the fuck. DANTE. ENZO. WAKE THE FUCK UP," I scream.

"What do you want," they both groan, probably the headache.

"Aww, you are cuddling with us," Dante mumbles.

"Get. The. Fuck. Off. Me." I word out.

Enzo rolls his eyes and moves to go to the bathroom.

"Ugh, my head hurts. So does my dick. What the fuck," he cries, huffing.

"As long as it's not your ass I think we are good," I point out.

"Bro, I'm not into that shit," Enzo laughs, walking out of the bathroom, "Why do you have your dick out?"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DOING HERE," Dante yells and I look to see what he is talking about. He indeed had his dick out. Now with a piercing.

"When did you get that," Enzo is now dying laughing on the floor.

"I DIDN'T. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. HOLY SHIT IT HURTS," Dante is now freaking out while Enzo and I are still laughing at him.

"You probably got it last night. What time is it?" Enzo asks calming down, "shit! It's 1 PM."

"We were supposed to be at work hours ago," I realize, her shift ends in an hour and a half.

"I'm staying home I'm in too much pain," Dante huffs, "I heard it hurts for two weeks... so I'm not coming to work for the next two weeks."

"And who will do your work?" I ask, chuckling.

"I don't know. Not me because I will be at home," he frowns, "boss, I am taking two weeks off."

"I need a good reason, Mr. Moretti," I laugh.

"Fuck off, Xavier. I'm taking two weeks off," he informs.

Enzo walks in with three glasses and medicine for our hangover. When did he even leave this room?

"Here. we need to get ready and go to work," he hands me a glass and medicine, "You work on that and here," He chuckles, gesturing at Dante's dick and giving him his medicine, receiving a fuck you from Dante.

"Thanks, I need to go," I call out, remembering I need to get ready and get to work before she leaves, and walk out to my car.

Once I get home I freshen up and look at the time, 2:00, shit I have half an hour.

I rush to my car and immediately head to the office building. I check the time again, 2:15, thank God.

I walk in and go straight to the open bakery and spot her talking to a customer. She hands him his order and her gaze lands on me.

She smiles and goes straight to the back, I'm guessing to get my muffin, I walk over to the counter.

"Good afternoon boss. I added the muffin you liked to the menu," the chef informs just as Amaya comes out with my muffin. She looks shocked, she finally realizes that I'm the CEO.

I nod at the chef as Amaya reaches with my muffin.

"Hey Muffin," I smile, "sorry I'm late today I was hung up on something," I don't know why I wanted her to know or why I apologized but I felt the need to.

"Oh, no problem sir," she still smiles, will she treat me differently now?

"Thank you for the muffin. I'll see you tomorrow at six," I point out, wanting her to know this is a one-time thing.

"No problem sir. Enjoy the rest of your day," she beams, I like her smile.

"You too, Muffin," I say before walking away to the elevator.

As I get into the elevator, I take a bite out of my muffin. Perfect as always.

I'm glad there was this one available at this time I thought they would be sold out and the ones with more blueberries were the only ones available.

As I settle down I get a notification on my phone. It's Jennifer, why can't she stop?

'You didn't have to ignore me yesterday - Jen,' is what the text says.

I ignore it. Block.
