CH:3 The Boss

Zane was looking at her shocked and confused. His heart was beating crazily. He can hear the lub and dub sounds of his beating heart in his ears. She was smirking looking directly into his eyes. Zane knows she is enjoying this very much! He was not expecting it. No, it can not be possible. She can not be here, he may be thinking a little too much about her, but it's just a hallucination. He blinked a few times to clear his vision. 

But she was still there... She is real. She looks the same as beautiful as ever... Her hazel brown orbs glowed with the shine of galaxies. And the thought that they both are alone in this whole building was making him go numb. 

"Boss!" He murmured. She smirked looking directly into his eyes.

"Yes, Mr Zane, please be seated," Claire said. Zane had heard her soft voice after years, but it made him feel the same way. She gives him peace. Zane took a few steps and sat on one of the office chairs. They were sitting opposite each other in utter silence. The two rhythmic heartbeats were as loud as their breathing sounds. She was staring at him with all her attention as if she has all the time in the world. 

"I missed you!" She said. Zane felt his heart skip a beat. But he has to control himself. These emotions, no it is not right, he remembered the last encounter with her, and a shiver run down his spine. No, he can not let his emotions cloud his judgement and the decision. He made it three years ago, he will never come face to face with Claire again... He has closed the chapter. But she is here sitting in front of him. All of this is true. He gulped and gather all his strength. 

"Claire, you own this company?" He questioned. She smiled that touched her eyes.

"Yes, I am the owner of this company." She said getting up from her seat. She dragged a lazy finger on the glass table taking lazy steps toward him. Zane can feel the current running along his spine. 

"You knew, I work here?" He asked.

"I always know, what is going on in your life? I am not that careless when it comes to you." Claire's voice was slow and soft. Zane felt it comforting him. 

"We decided, it is not good for us. We will stop!" Zane gulped when she stopped near his chair. Her one hand on the handle of his chair the other one on the table. Claire turned his chair towards her and then bent down to see into his eyes, both hands resting on the chair handles. Zane was trapped or he wanted to be trapped. He can feel the heat radiating from her body. Why does he feel so hot? The intense stare was not making things easy. Claire's eyes roamed his lips, she took a deep breath. 

"I never decided it. It was you, my love." She gets close to him, her lips brushing on his ear, and she whispered it. Zane's heart stopped for a second...

"Claire, what are... you doing?" He stuttered when her hands rested on his thighs. Her lips brushed on his neck. 

"You are mine, I can do whatever I want with you, love!" She said her hands went down towards the crotch in his pants. Zane was frozen in his seat. He can not push her away, no he can not do it. It will never be possible for him to stop her or protest.

"Claire, stop!" He said with difficulty and gulped down the spit in his throat. She hummed lazily but didn't move away from him. 

"Claire, please..." He pleaded and gripped her hand. She then stopped and looked into his eyes with the complaint. She then sat on his lap and snaked her arms around his neck. He placed his arms around her waist for her safety. 

"Why are you here? Why move a company and all of these efforts?" Zane asked. She was playing with his hair. 

"Why had you done all of these efforts? You moved to three different states then you came here, in this country three years ago, you lived with your parents for a year then you were offered a job in this company two years ago... You took the jobs and then start living in that apartment on rent and now you had a girlfriend from last six months?" Claire gave him the details of his life in a few minutes as she was always there... But she also has asked him. Why had he done all of it? Zane would not be able to give her an answer because he was running away from her... He shook his head in a no manner. She kissed him on his cheek, her hands roaming over his shoulders and chest. As she was taking an emotional relaxation from him... 

"You were aware of all of it. You knew I moved on in my life. So why did you do that?" He asked. 

"I missed you so much! And you were far away from me. So, I did all this so I can see you." Claire said without any pause or doubt.

And he was looking at her face in wonder.

"Are you joking? What is all this madness?" He gripped her hand and then stare into her eyes. 

"This is not a joke. It was never a joke. It was not me who left you, you were the one who decided to leave me alone because you can not handle a little truth." She said then get up from his lap. Claire went and stopped in front of the glass window. Her back was on him.

"A little truth? Do you think it was just a little thing? No, Claire. I don't want all of that, I want to live a normal life. I can not get involved in all of these strange things... I just can't accept..." Zane said in a terrified voice.

"Zane, you will die sooner or later, I told you about all of that because I want to live with you until you are alive," Claire said in a hurtful voice but she covered it immediately. 

But he felt it, a down tone in her emotional state. He went towards Claire and then hugged her from behind. 

"Claire you said, you will not come back, you will let me live my life. We will never cross paths again..." He said.

"Yes, I said it, but you also promised you will forget me, why did you keep remembering me? You know I can feel it, so why don't you let me go?" She said then turned around and asked him. And Zane didn't have an answer to her question.
