Thread: Love's Dark Delights (Random x Sweet)

Chris Johnson epitomized success in the business world. Merely twenty-six years old and he was already the CEO of his company. Growing up, his father owned his own car insurance agency and his mother was a doctor. The man always got everything he wanted when he was a child, but that didn't deter him from hard work. His habits were impeccable and his skill and style were uncanny. His company was the largest sports apparel company in the country after only being in existence for just over a decade. As soon as Chris had taken over, the business started to boom. Not only was his buisness at the apex of his field, but he was a great boss and a great person, too. Not one person in that company could say that they didn't like him. Better yet, not one person in that company could say they didnt' even know him. He made a point to get to as many stores as he could to introduce himself. Whenever a tragedy hit, Chris was the first one there. Sales Representative Mike Davis' mother passed away the year before and Chris was the first to the funeral and last to leave. He was there for his workers because he knew if he were to get them to work as hard as he needs them to work, then he has to show that he cares- and he does. However, his proudest accomplishment was his current girlfriend, Chloe, whom was also his secretary. Their company didn't have a policy against dating co-workers because, well, he could change the policy how he saw fit and even before their relationship happened, the rule was the same. He didn't see any point in doing that. he believed that the heart will want what it wants and nothing can be done. They are not quite to the serious part of their relationship but they are getting quite close, he thought. Throughout their few months together, he truly had been the best boyfriend he could. Buying her little gifts often, creating things for her, building a birdhouse she always talked about wanting, dropping by her house with flowers, making her dinner and inviting her over... he was really a true gentleman. He really wanted this to be forever with Chloe. She was such a nice and sweet girl and she really had his heart. Of course, he had girlfriends before but none of them worked out. No relationship he had ever been in though that ended was any fault of his own. he had been cheated on, neglected, and just under appreciated so much. But being the nice guy he is, he just moved on without making a big deal about it. He knew this would be the one that worked, though, he just knew. Upon reading the note on Chloe's desk that read of her abscene, he frowned to himself. It was saddening to know that his sweet, gentle Chloe was feeling so bad. Chris would get off work in an hour, so he decided he would go to her house and check up on her. Also, Chloe still had a couple spreadsheets to do so Chris finished that up for her, seeing it unreasonable to ask her to do it when she felt bad. Finally, all the work was finished and Chris was ready to go. He walked faster than normal, wanting to check on his girlfriend. He even stopped in a flower shop on the way there and got her a bouquet of flowers because, what girl wouldn't be ecstatic to get a surprise visit from her boyfriend that had flowers when she was sick? Chris couldn't wait but his anticipation went away with a bit of disappointment and hurt. She wasn't even home. Through his past experiences, he was assuming the worst but he didn't want to believe that she was fooling around. Instead, he just left and headed on home. He would call her later and hopefully there was a good explanation. Upon arriving, he closed the door to the passenger seat and stood up, walking inside. Once inside, he lay the flowers down in a vase and water to keep them alive until he got a chance to give them to her... then a strange scent hit his nose... food . Who would be in here cooking food? Perhaps Chloe was here instead? She had a key. He looked around the bottom level but saw nothing, so he finally decided to walk upstairs, nervouness building. If she was upstairs then she was near his playroom, but he always locked it so he wasn't worried about her getting inside unbeknownst that he forgot to lock it when he put a few toys in yestereday. Chloe? He called out and walked towards the bedroom.
