I am so stupid, I said “Oh so will everyone from the office come too.” He looked a bit embarrassed “No….. I was …. I was asking you out…” I didn’t know what to say, mostly because he just asked me out and I almost invited everyone to the date. “It’s fine if you don’t want to….” Shawn tries to back out. “No, I would love to.” He smiled big as did I. He said “The date is without everyone from work right?” he asked just to make sure. With a laugh I answered “Ya, Ya it is.” He drove me home and he ran out to open the door for me. After I went out I thanked him for the ride and walked to wards our lawn. Shawn called out to me “About that date, I’ll come pick you up say at 10:00 am.” “That early” I asked. “The more time the better.” he said and drove off. When I walked inside my mom, dad and MC were waiting for me with wide eyes hoping for tonight’s report. They rushed me to the couch, sat in front of me and all started to ask bunch of questions nonstop at the same time. I screamed “C
"Ok fine. It's your lunch box. That day you freaked out and threw the lunch box away and I couldn't figure out why you did it but I still liked you so I picked up the lunch box and kept it as a reminder not to ever bother you when you are eating." "You always come when I am having my lunch." "Ya but it was because I was sure you wouldn't run away again." I laughed at his comment. "Do you want it back?" he asked. "No, finder's keeper's right. You found it so you get to keep it." I handed him the lunch box. I said good night to him and him to me. I walked out and in to the house. MC and mom were waiting for me to hear a juicy story. I changed in my PJ and talked about the date for hours. "So any way he drove me home and so I said 'we should do this again sometimes.' and he totally agreed." I finished my story. "Congratulations Mrs. J, the opportunity for you to have a grandchild might not be just a lost dream." MC congratulated my mom. "Just because we had one great date does
I believed her. But she was wrong. The next morning, Shawn didn’t show up to work at all. I couldn’t work properly, I was fully distracted, and so I decided to leave work and go home. While I was walking out I ran in to Oliver. He tried to stop me “Princi, I have something to tell you. Mr. Davis….” I interrupted him. “You know what? I don’t want to hear anything about ‘Mr. Davis’ (I said it in an angry sarcastic tone) anymore.” I turned around from whatever Oliver was about to tell me about Shawn and went home. At home I was extremely bored. When I usually become this depressed, I play games like Assassin’s creed on my X-BOX, and so I did. I spend all day playing without moving an inch. MC came to visit again. She has been visiting a lot these days. She didn’t see me in the living room so she passed to the kitchen and found my mom who was fixing dinner. “What up Mrs. J?” MC asked my mom. I can hear them even though I was busy destroying the Borgia and saving Roma. MC continued “Whe
We went for a walk. After a while of silence, Shawn took out the lollipop I left in his room from his pocket and said “Here” I looked at him “No it’s for you.” He placed the candy back in his pocket. We found a bench and sat there. Once again, silence took over. But then Shawn pulls out a mug from his jacket and gave it to me. As he was handing it to me, he said “I was going to give it to you last Monday but my grandma got really sick and I got occupied.” I took the mug in my hands and read what he had written. On the side, it said “Worlds best butterfly hunter!” When I turned it over, it said “From Shawn Davis” I can tell that Shawn and I have walked one more step closer in our relationship. Because: he has gone from ‘ignorant jerk’ to ‘Shawn Davis’. I smiled and thanked him. “Shawn, I really like these mugs but you don’t have to give me a mug every day. Maybe: on special occasions.” He nodded his head. As I was looking at the mug he asked “You said you lost your brother when yo
When we got to my house I told him to wait for me. I went up stairs to my room and grabbed the guitar I bought after our first date. He was outside of his car leaning while he waited for me. I went closer to him and handed him the guitar. “What is it?” he asked and I simply answered with “Happy birth day!” “Are you seriously giving me your guitar?” he asked. “No” I answered “On our first date you told me that your father broke yours. I bought this for you and never knew when would be the right time to give it to you. But after I found out that today is your birth day, I figured it would be the perfect gift.” He took the case from my hand and said “I don’t know what to say.” I sarcastically replied “How about thank you?” He leaned the guitar against the car and placed his one hand on my whist to pull me closer to him, he place his other hand on back of my neck and kissed me. It felt so amazing. Shawn knew how to kiss. He slowly massaged my lips with his as his hand traved up and
Next Monday usual staff happened. I took the stairs to my office because of that elevator, I took a little insult from Lucy Chaw, told Oliver he has no shoot with her and lunch time came. Since Shawn and I are going out, I stopped bringing my lunch box because now I have a lunch buddy. I might be happy about my relationship with him but we still agreed to keep it a secret. For some reasons, dating your boss could be a bit hard on you because any credit you get will immediately be assumed that you got it because you are dating the boss. Unlike other days, Shawn is late so I went to his office. It was lunch hour so I had no trouble walking in to his office and when I did, I saw him surrounded by papers, jumping his eye from one paper to the other. I was already in but he didn’t see me so I said “Knock knock” He looked up and when he saw me he looked startled, he looked at his hand watch and realized that he is late. “Oh, I am so sorry; I didn’t realize it is lunch. I was just so busy
We finished the game when lunch was almost over so we went to the break room to grab some tea and doughnut. After we were done, he decided to walk me to my office. But since we are in a secret relationship, when people come closer to us we change our subject to something related to work. When we got closer to my office, we heard that Shawn’s father was here. We had a meeting that day and Shawn’s father joined us. Unfortunately there was no opportunity that made Shawn and his father to talk until the end of the meeting. When his father talks: he sometimes adds ‘My son’ to the conversation. And when everyone started to walk out his father said “Son, you should come home early tonight. Your sister is back in town and we are planning a surprise party for her.” Shawn looked at me and I looked at him. I, with my eyes, started to show him signals to call him dad. Shawn shook his head no. I figured it was due to the number of people in the room but I still looked at him with wide eyes. So Sh
I am at work, being busy, running from one floor to the other, being productive. Lunch hour, I went to Shawn’s office and like always, he was busy jumping his eyes from one paper to the other. When he saw me he immediately stopped working and greeted me with a big smile. “So what should we have for lunch?” I asked him. “I don’t know.” he answered as he giggled “Maybe we can go to brownies girls.” He was clearly mocking me. “Oh, you think that is funny?” I ran over to him and pinched him on his shoulder. “Ouch” he cried out, he grabbed me by the arm and hugged me. “Oh, someone is in a good mood today” I made a comment as I hugged him back. “Why wouldn’t I be? I have the world’s best butterfly hunter with me.” he said with his worm and manly voice. “Shut up” I giggled. “Oh” Shawn said “You remember Ron King right?” “Ya” I answered. “He has invited us to his anniversary dinner party.” “Both of us” I asked. “Ya” he answered. “Does he know we are together?” I asked Shawn again.
I turned my computer of as i gently slapped my hand against my opened mouth to stifle a yawn. I looked at the clock to see that it was almost past ten. I stretched my sore and stiff muscles before picking the giant file up and walked over to my Grandpa's office. It's been six month since i started working for my grandfather. I started at the very bottom with front desk receptionist and made it up to my Grandpa's assistant. He's been trying to teach me more about the flower business and about his best clients. And he had me study and organize important documents that i have just finished doing. I opened the door to grandpa's office and walked over to his desk. After putting the files down, i glanced around the giant office at the very top floor of this tall building. One day, all of this would be mine. And i will make sure to do my best to reach my Grandpa's expectations. I sighed as i watched the beautiful night view before walking out of the office. I collected my things and wal
I looked up at the Devic company and remembered the first time i came here for my interview. The building looked just as intimidating as it was a year ago when i first started working here. Too many memories washed over me with every step i took.I walked in and moved over to the elevator. I remembered how i ran up to the elevator just as the door were about to close and Shawn held it open for me. I was shock struck by his sea blue eyes and his sweet manners.I remembered the short time i spent with him in this elevator, trapped while playing a silly game.I walked into the elevator when the door opened. I looked at the far corner where Shawn calmed me down when i was panicking that day. I saw the happy ghosts of ourselves, sitting on the floor and chatting away.The elevator didn't betray me today. It spit me put on my floor and i hopped off.As i was walking up to Shawn's office, i made sure to look around and my eyes landed on the door to the stare way. I couldn't help but smi
I'v been lost for the last few days. I didn't feel like doing anything.After my little...incident with Shawn, i haven't been myself. I'm not proud to say that I've been calling in sick and i have been ignoring Shawn's phone calls. But he's not the only one I've been ignoring.Iven has been calling and texting me the whole time, and all i could remember was Shawn's lips on mine. And so, Shame didn't allow me to answer any of Iven's calls or texts. I waned to, but i didn't know what i would say to him.I sighed again as i moved food around my plate."Is everything okay, Child?" My grandpa asked and i looked away from my plate to see that he was staring at me with concern.I nodded my head and gave him a brief smile before i looked back to my plate. "Are you sure?" He asked and... I burts into tears. Oh, how embarrassing.My grandpa dropped his fork and quickly reach my side. He placed hand on top of my head as i hide my face in my hands and sobbed away. In between embarrassing
I stared at the screen of my computer without actually looking the opened file. I'v been trying to concentrate all day by my mind had been blank. I haven't been able to help Oliver with work, especially after i talked to Lucy Chaw and found out that she didn't steal my proposal."Hey..." Oliver called out and i turned my faze over to him "I'm ready to get off work and the reports is printed out. All you have to do is hand it to the boss, okay."I nodded my head and watched Oliver turn his computer off and stood up, ready to leave."Why did you get permission to get off work early?" I asked him."Grandma has been sick and my parents are really busy so i need to take care of her until one of them gets home. Once their care taker gets back on work, i won't be needed much though..."Oliver scratched the back of his head and hesitantly walked closer and sat on my desk."MCs' birthday is in a few days and... I was thinking maybe...we can set something up for her?""Yeah, sure." I smiled
I sniffled before wiping my nose and tucked my blanket under my chin. I was Devastated.I was looking forward to winning that promotion but i didn't. I was so confident with the proposal and was sure that it would win me that senior management position. But it didn't."How long are you going to cry over this?" Oliver asked as he leaned both of his hands against the foot of my bed and i turned to glare at him."Fo as long as i want." I mumbled and tucked the blanket back.I heard Oliver sigh before i felt a shift on my bed and i know he was sitting close to me."Come on, Princi. It's just one promotion. I'm sure there will be more opportunities for you. Besides, are you really going to call in sick for a third day in a row or are you going to be a champ and walk in to that building with you head held up high?"I looked over to him. "I will call in sick for a third day in a row." I whispered before closing my eyes, but not before seeing Oliver roll his on me."Come on roomie. At least
I looked up at the board standing next to Harper James- my only rival at this very moment- and sighed.The last task for the promotion was out just a couple of seconds ago and a frown took over my face as i read the paper on the board."Congratulations to the two managers who have made it this far. The final task is as followed.The two managers will have to submit a business proposal made with the investors they brought in for the second task. The business proposal should be submitted by the end of this week and if the deadline is missed, then the business proposal will not be accepted.Good luck.""By the end of this week?" I asked because today is Wednesday and so..."Wow" Harper James murmured from beside me "it looks like we don't have much time to work on this. Well .." she turned to face me "good luck."Harper gave me her best smile before she walked away. I looked back at the board one last one last time before going to my office.I walked in to see Oliver with his head i
I looked up at the board with a huge smile on my face. The names of the managers who passed the second were up just a few minutes ago and there are only two managers who are passing to the third and final task.I squealed as i saw my name of the board and i jumped up and down with Oliver by my side.I can't believe that I'm in. I passed and i am only one step away from winning this promotion. All i have to do is beat one more person and I'm out of here with a bigger position and a giant payroll."Looks like it's just you and me." Harper James commented as she looked up at the board and saw her name above mine.I turned to her and nodded my head with a smile. "Looks like it."Harper James is one of the best employees this company has to offer and she has been a very hard worker from the very first day she walked in this building. She had quite the achievement under her belt and i would have to admit that she will be a very tough opponent to beat."Well..." She commented with a ver
I took a big bite out of my chicken and moaned in satisfaction."Eat more child. You look bony." Grandpa commented as he refilled my plate for the second time. The food was to die for. And even though my stomach was screaming at me for no more, i couldn't help but eat another bite to make grandpa happy.I haven't even been with his for half a day and I'm already loving this man. He was kind and sweet and he made sure that there was a lot of food on everyone's plates. He would check if we liked it or if we wanted more every few minutes."It's really good, grandpa." I commented and his fave lighten up in a bigger smile."Good. Good. Eat more." He replied before looking over to my father and to my mother.He stared at them so lovingly that i couldn't help but wonder why he pushed them away all those years ago in the first place. And it's then that it hits me. I haven't met or seen my grandma yet and from the looks of it, none of them were waiting for her to come either. I glanced
I was HAPPY.The second i saw my name on that list, i had done a happy dance without caring for any eyes who might be glaring at me or laughing at my reaction. But my best friend Oliver, made sure to join me in my happy dance.To be honest, i wasn't the only one doing the happy dance. All managers who made it on the short list on the board were more than happy to show their win. While the rest glared at us, we were excited.Once i was a little calm, i started to read the rest of the paper. It appears that the twelve of us will be given a new task very soon. But in the mean time, we are meant to enjoy this little moment.Oliver and I walked back to our office as we excitedly chatted about the list aloud when we saw Shawn walking towards us. He looked...upset?"Mr. Davis." Oliver greeted him first and i followed his bow to greet the boss. Shawn looked at the two of us for a few seconds before he nodded his head."I wanted to talk to you two." He said before he walked back to his of
