ALIS P.O.V
After I walked out of Mr. Days office I went straight to my desk and sat down on my chair.
Why is 'Love' such a bad word to him?
Maybe he must have been through something that caused his heart to break. What if it was an ex that dumped him? I feel depressed at the thought of him being with another woman.
Ali! Do you have feelings for your boss?
Ugh! This is so hard. I know I'm not supposed to be attracted to the guy. He's my damn boss! I know that he's not a person that you can trust with your heart. I know that for sure, by his past actions. So I know that I shouldn't feel any romantic feelings for the guy. Plus I've only known him for almost 2 whole days and he's my boss too!
It isn't professional for an employee to be in a relationship with their boss. Plus, Im pretty sure that my coworkers would talk. Speaking of coworkers, where are they?
I got up out of my chair to go take a look around to see if anyone else was on this floor. After looking around, I've only seen 3 rooms. Mr. Days Office, A meeting room and a room that looks like a kitchen.
I guess there isn't anyone else on this level. I walked back to my desk and sat down.
Doesn't Matthew ever get lonely?
No, because he's always having sex with his P.A
Yuck!!! Now that I think about it... this is practically a porn level!It just screams SEX. No wonder why I haven't seen anyone else on this level. He doesn't want anyone else on this level. He probably doesn't want to be disturbed whenever Him and his P.A are having sex.
I looked around and it's so quiet here. I bet you could practically scream and no one would be able to hear you. I bet him and his past P.A had sex everywhere. His office, kitchen, meeting room, on the P.As desk.
THE P.As DESK!!!
Gross! Gross! Gross! Ewwwwwwww! My desk has sperm on it!!!
I screamed and quickly got up to run straight to Mr.Days office.
"Mr. Day!" I shouted.
He shot up out of his seat and rushed straight to my side.
"Ali whats wrong? Are you okay?" asked Matthew, while looking at me to see if I have any injuries.
"Yes, Im fine. I just wanted to ask you if you've ever had sex on my desk?"
His eyes grew big like saucers. He looked at me and said "Miss.Dream are you serious!?"
"Excuse Me?" I said back.
"YOU CANNOT DO THAT ALI!" He shouted
"Cant do what?" I asked confused.
"You cant just barge here in my office and ask me that kind of question!" He scolded me harshly.
I sighed and said "You're right Mr. Day. Im sorry...I just want you to answer the question. No offense Mr.Day but the answer you will eventually give me about my question will determine If I STILL want to work here or not."
He looked at me like I was the most ignorant person on earth. He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.
"Miss.Dream. You've got some guts to tell me that my answer will determine if you 'still want to work here or not.' I just gave you the job yesterday! I could easily replace you with someone else with a snap of my fingers.!" He said angrily.
I gasped and I almost let a tear fall. Almost. I just want him to answer the question. I don't want to work in a dirty environment filled with sperm all over the place.
"Mr.Day, I just wanted to know, because if Im going to work here, I want to make sure I'm working in a clean and professional environment!" I spat back.
"What do you mean clean?" He said narrowing his eyes at me.
"In order to do what I came here to do, which is work... I want to make sure that I am 100% focused on work. I always take my job seriously and make sure that I don't have any distractions. I want to make sure Im not working on a desk that has sperm on it. That would be nasty and gross if there was." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.
He closed his eyes and said "Miss.Dream get out"
"What?" I looked at him a bit taken back.
He looked at me straight in the eye and said "Get. Out."
"But—"
"NOW!" He shouted.
I stopped talking and walked right out of there. I grabbed my purse and got into the elevator to go to the lobby. Once I got out of the elevator and went into the lobby, I exited the building and caught a cab to go straight home. When I got into the cab, I couldn't help myself to stop the tears that escaped from my eyes.
Screw this shit of a job!
All he had to do is answer the damn question. I felt another tear escape and I just couldn't help it as it fell. I tried to stop crying but I couldn't. This is my first day of work and I just got fired. I don't know whats worse...being mad that I got fired from a job I just got....... or not being able to see Matthew ever again.
Ugh. Why do I feel like this? This is stupid. Pull yourself together Ali! He's your boss. A dumb and stupid pickle nut boss.
Damn you Matthew!
Once the cab pulled up to my apartment building, I paid the taxi driver and went straight to my apartment. I tossed all my stuff onto a couch in the middle of my living room and went straight to my bedroom.
I flopped down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling then shouted "Screw you Matthew! You son of a bit—"
2 seconds later my door bursts opens and my face instantly pales. There at my doorway ladies and gentlemen is a smirking Matthew with a flower bouquet.
OH SHIT!
I groaned and flopped back on my bed and put a pillow over my face.
"This is so embarrassing!!!" I groaned into the pillow.
In an instant, I remember why I came home early from work and my embarrassment quickly turns to anger.
Oh thats right...I got Fired.
I threw the pillow to the other side of my room and walked straight up to Matthew.
"What do you want Matthew and how'd you get inside?" I ask while clenching my teeth.
As soon as I said that, he looked a bit taken back and quickly spoke in a soft and sad tone.
"I want to talk and your door was unlocked." he said softly.
"Why do you want to talk? I thought I was fired." I said confused.
He took a deep breath and then said "Ali, you were never fired."
"But you told me to get out."
"No, Ali I never fired you. Yes, I told you to get out, but that was because what you did was ridiculous. You barged into my office without knocking and asked an inappropriate question. Then when you told me that my answer to your question will decide if you still want to work for me or not made me mad. I just gave you the job Ali, you cant just quit the next day." he said in a soft and serious tone.
I sighed and looked at the ground and immediately felt guilty.
"Im sorry Mr.Day...you're right. My actions were out of line and it wont happen again. I promise." I said softly.
He took a deep breath, grabbed my hand and said "Good, now come on."
I looked at him with a confused face and said "Where are we going?"
He smirked and said "Back to work of course. You still have your job to do."
I smiled, let go of his hand and said "Oh okay. I just have to use the restroom first before we leave. You can just wait in the living room."
He nodded and walked to the living room, leaving me to use the restroom.
When I went to the bathroom, and quickly did my business then washed my hands. After that, I looked at the mirror to make sure my hair was okay. Some parts of my hair were sticking all over the place so I quickly brushed it down to make it look more decent. While I was brushing my hair, I heard knocking coming from the door.
"Mr.Day can you get the door?" I shouted
"Okay." shouted Matthew.
After finally feeling completely satisfied with how my hair looks, I walked out of the bathroom and headed to the living room to quickly grab my purse before I leave.
"Get out!" shouted Matthew.
"Dude No! Why the fuck are you even here!?" shouted a familiar voice.
"None of your business!" shouted Matthew.
"Where's Ali!?" shouted the familiar voice.
I quickly grabbed my purse and ran straight to the door seeing a very angry Dillion in front of a very angry Matthew.
"Dillion! Oh my gosh! Im so sorry, come in! Matthew shut the door." I said while I grabbed Dillions hand and pulled him to the living room.
Matthew grumbled and shut the door then followed Dillion and I to the living room.
Dillion and I sat on the love seat soft and Matthew sat on a chair across from Dillion glaring daggers at him.
"Mr.Day stop it!" I said scolding Matthew.
"What did I do?!" shouted Matthew.
Dillion scoffed and I just shook my head.
"So whats up Dillion? Are you okay?"
"Im fine, I just wanted to see if its still okay for me to move in." said Dillion
"Yes." I said
"No!" Said Matthew at the same time.
Dillion and I both snapped our heads to Matthew.
My mother always told me that when I'm mad at someone I should kill them with kindness. Right now... I want to kill Matthew with my bare hands.
ALIS P.O.V "What do you mean no?" I asked Matthew narrowing my eyes. "I mean... No way, this place is too small for another person. You wouldn not want your friend Dillion to feel crowded in this place would you?" said Matthew."This place isn't small and I have a extra room." I said rolling my eyes. "Ali you are not going to live alone with another man." said Matthew in a firm tone. I shook my head and sighed. This guy is seriously giving me a headache."Mr. Day I—" I started to argue."Matthew." he said, cutting me off before I could finish my comment."What?" I asked in a confused tone."Call me Matthew. We're not in the office, so call me Matthew." he said in a stern tone.I took a deep breath and said "Okay Matthew, I am not going to be living alone with him. His sister is moving in with us too.""How are you going to fit him and his sister with you in this 2 bedroom apartment?" asked Matthew looking confused."Simple. Dillion and I can just sleep in my room." I said with a sm
ALIS P.O.VInstead of going back to the Lexon Corp building, Matthew told Will to take us to a italian restaurant called Cielo,for lunch. He was so determined to prove to me that his friend Mikey is real. I was just kidding when I told Matthew that I didn't believe he had friends. This guy needs a sense of humor. I laughed at the possibility of Matthew not even knowing what the wordHumormeans.
ALIS P.O.VAfter paying for our food, Matthew and I walked out of the restaurant and saw Will waiting outside the restaurant with the car."Will, were you waiting here the whole time while we were in the restaurant?" I asked W
ALIS P.O.VAs I came near my desk, Matthew walked out of his office and started bursting out with laughter as soon as he saw me."Ha. Ha. Yes, that wassofunny." I said sarca
ALIS P.O.VI looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 3:30. I never did ask Matthew what time my shift is finished. The only thing he did tell me was that I would start work at 7:30. Ugh! I wonder if I'll have enough time to get ready for the party Im going to with Mark tonight. I mean...I still have to meet up with Dillion at his house to help him and his sister Dina move their stuff to my apartment.
ALIS P.O.V"All right! We got about 7 boxes full with books and clothes." I said standing up with a smile.Dina stood up from the ground and gave me hug and said "Thanks Ali. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
ALIS P.O.V"What was that?" said Mikey with a grin."What was what?" I asked playing dumb.
ALIS P.O.VMatthew and I both turned our heads to see who the voice came from.Oh no! How am I supposed to explain this to Mark? This is not how I planned my night to go.

Matthew P.O.V(Seven years later) “Daddy do you think this looks pretty? asked Anastasia.I looked up from the paper on my desk in front up me and turned my attention towards my five-year-old daughter. She looked just liked her mother, with her long dark brown wavy hair and big dark brown eyes. She smiled and tilted her head, patiently waiting for my answer as she showed me the blue headband in her hand and the blue dress she was currently wearing.I put down my pen and stood up from my chair and walked around my desk, and towards my daughter. I bent down at eye level and smiled at her. She was a surprise that was fully welcomed the day, Ali and I realized that Ali was pregnant. My mother and Aunt were ecstatic when we told them Ali was pregnant.“Of course!” I said as I grabbed th
ALI’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” Matthew said to me as he handed me back the black tie. I sighed and raised my eyebrows “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”If I had never met Maria two days ago, I would have been really nervous; but after seeing her and seeing the kind of person she is; I felt sort of comfortable around her. I can’t say that I am fully comfortable, because I do not know her completely. In conclusion, I just hope that she really is okay with me and her son being together.Matthew laughed and replied “I was just kidding Ali.”My mouth formed into an ‘O’ and I nodded my head. I then grabbed the black tie and tied it around my eyes. This time
Matthew’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” I said to Ali as I handed her back the black tie.She sighed and raised her eyebrow “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”I laughed “I was just kidding Ali.”Her mouth formed into an ‘O’ and she nodded her head. Then grabbed the black tie and tied it around her eyes. Thankfully this time, she did not ask any questions and instead stayed quiet and patient. I scooted her beside me, interlacing my hands with hers. I saw her lips form a smile and I could not help but smile with her. Every time I put I a smile on her face, it puts a smile on mine.“We’re here sir,” said Will.We drove up to a big warehouse, that I recently bought, just for today
Matthew’s P.O.VAli picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”I was irritated with the interruption; I was close to getting my answer from her. I am eager to know what she is going to say. I feel like she is going to say yes, because she has told me she loves me, but then again; some small part of me worries that she will change her mind. Sometimes woman are fickle sometimes.Ali rolled her eyes and quickly shut her phone and pouted at me “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” she asked with a sly smile.You were about to tell me if you will be my girlfriend, I thought to myself.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. Gerald turned towards us and asked “Any sug
Ali’s P.O.VI picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”A woman’s voice greeted me “Hello! My name Margie, I am calling to ask if you are interested in buy—” she didn’t get to finish, because I hung up on her.I looked at Matthew and pouted “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” I asked with a sly smile.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. My father then turned towards me and asked “Any suggestions for songs you both want to dance to?”Matthew smiled and nodded his head, “I am not sure if you have heard of him before, but his name is Ed Sheeran.”My mother gasped in delight “I LOVE HIS SON
Matthew’s P.O.V(THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVED AT ALI’S PARENTS HOUSE)The shocked look on Ali’s face was comical. She looked confused and I already knew that she was going to wonder why we were here at her parent’s house. This morning I woke up with a plan to ask her parents for permission. I already knew that I wanted to be with Ali. Now, I just need to take the next step to make things official between us.“Why are we here?” she asked, pointing to her parent’s house behind her.I stepped forward, grabbed her hand and said “Ali, I love you, and I know you love me. That gives me enough reassurance that you want to be together.”She had a smile on her face and she nodded at me. That made me glad and I felt reassured that she was slowly accepting me being here at
ALI’S P.O.VI turned around towards Matthew my face full of confusion.“Why are we here?” I asked, pointing to my parent’s house behind me.He stepped forward, grabbed my hand and said to me “Ali, I love you, and I know you love me. That gives me enough reassurance that you want to be together.”I smiled and nodded my head, agreeing with his comment, that I am in love with him. I love everything about this man.“I was raised to ask a woman’s parents for permission first, before you date the woman you are in love with,” he said, emphasizing on the word ‘first’ to me.That is so old school, I thought to myself.“I know it is old school,” Matthew said to me with a chuckle.My eyes widened and I blushed, not realizing I said that out loud.“But it is the right way to do this because it is me being respectful to your parents, and showing them that I want to be with you,” Matthew said to me as he pulled me forward and kissed my forehead.I sighed, then pulled back from him and replied “Okay,
