I Think Your Boss Likes You“Hey,” Sharron greeted me weakly when she opened the door. My hand was mid-air about to knock again before she opened the door. Her eyes were swollen like she cried all through the night, but she had eye patches underneath her eyes, possibly with healing effects to counter her swollen eyes. I have never been so glad to see someone and be proven wrong.I leaped and pulled her into a tight hug, inhaling her peach and vanilla scent. One thing about her was she wasn't just going to smell good, she was always going to smell so good. Her hands hung at her sides and I was certain her expression behind me would mirror shock.“Violet, is everything okay? What's wrong?" She asked with concern at the lingering hug. I pulled us apart slightly and took in her face, committed it to memory because the fear of thinking that she might harm herself made me realize I didn't really know the features of her face.“Oh, you have a mole at the tip of your nose? I never even notice
The Understanding Discussion.“I don't know why I am nervous about going for this. I know we need to do this, but, I still feel weird about the entire situation.” I confessed to them during breakfast that morning. Our breakfast was custard, scrambled eggs, toasted bread with bacon. Annie was always extra about our meals and this was one of her simplest one yet. One time, she prepared pot pie for breakfast. We woke up to steamy slices of pot pie and freshly squeezed orange juice. Sometimes, I just looked at Annie and wonder what special thing I did in life to deserve her? She was a source of my strength for many years and still a source of my strength. Then, Rainie, drove me crazy incessantly by being so care free. But, she was the fun to my sometimes uptight behavior. I was really lucky for my set of friends who had a seat with my overthinking brain and still wanted to be friends with me. It was no easy feat.“I think I know why.” Rainie chipped, munching her potato chips she added to
He Does To Me What No One Has Done To Me Before?“Good morning.” Ryan's baritone honey laced voice greeted when I opened my eyes. The corners of my lips lifted into a smile and I snuggled closer to him. It felt like I was in an alternate reality, where I get to have feelings for my boss and though it's not well articulated for exactly what he feels for me, I was certain he felt some sort of attraction towards me. We don't bother about that now, let's just focus on the present where I am snuggled in my boss's arms and he places a kiss on my forehead. Not just as any lady, but as his girlfriend.‘Girlfriend.’ I squealed happily in my head. I loved the sound of that. It definitely had a nice ring to it. I could get used to it.“You know you would have to let me go back to my apartment, sooner or later. My roommates have been video calling me nonstop because of you.” I told him against his chest. The thing is ever since I came on Saturday to confess my feelings and say yes to being with R
You Are Hiding Something From MeI showered in fifteen minutes and grabbed the clean towel on the rack and wrapped around my body. I was about leaving the bathroom when my eyes caught something in the mirror. I drew closer and used my hand to wipe the mirror clean from the steam that covered it. Right there on my neck was a red, glaring love bite.I bound out of the bathroom and met the culprit seated on the bed.“You gave me a hickey?" I said in shock. He smirked and said, “I want people to know you now have someone who you do passionate, roe-curling, amazing...” I raced to where he sat and quickly covered his mouth. “Don't dare finish that,” I cautioned him.“But, we are all alone.” He managed to say with my hands over his mouth.“Doesn't matter. I don't want whatever you say in my head. It'll muddle my thoughts.”He tried removing my hand but I hung on, in the process of the struggle, my towel that wasn't properly knotted fell from my body.We both paused at that point as his eye
She Is Still Hiding Something From MeLoraine snatched her hand back and rolled down her sleeves hastily while looking at all corners of the office than Ryan's face.Ryan, on the other hand, I couldn't place a proper read on his features. His face just looked stotic, as usual. Even his eyes which often told me how he was feeling exactly wasn't telling me anything. The atmosphere seemed tense, and it felt awkward witnessing this. But, I thought it might feel more awkward if I just left the office now. So, there I stood in the corner, confused on my next line of action.“Loraine, I know you always pinch yourself really hard when you are facing a situation that is stressing you out.” He told her.I, on the other hand, nodded my head in understanding. Now the red blotches make sense.“In some sort of sick way, you said it takes your mind from the pressing issue at hand. Is the Netherland issue stressing you that much or is there something else?" He asked.Her eyes hardened again erasing a
Who The Heck Are you?“Ryan...Ryan...Ryan...” I yelled the last and he jolted back to reality. Ever since his sister left some hours ago, he's been acting strange. I asked him what's up and he only replied with ‘Still figuring out that part.’ He had been musing for hours, and anytime I needed his attention, I had to call him incessantly like I was calling him now. It was honestly frustrating that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was.“Yeah, sorry, I zoned out for sometime.” He apologized. “Are you okay? What's the problem? You haven't been yourself since your sister left the office.” I said, hoping he would finally fess up to me what was wrong.He rubbed his forehead, a display of exhaustion, “You know what? Can you call my Sister's secretary and ask if my sister is in her office?”“Okay?” I replied, more like a question, than an answer because that still didn't tell me what was wrong. I picked my office phone of the cradle and dialled her office number.The secretary pick
You Can't Even Say You Love Me“I ask again, who are you to treat my sister like trash? Speak before I pound the life out of you with my fists.” Ryan told the little beast who now in his hands looked nothing like a beast, and more like a midget. “I...I...I...” He stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence. Wow! For someone that was all bravado minutes ago and threatening to punish someone, he seemed to have lost his vocals.Seemed that his type likes preying on weak people whom they believe cannot defend themselves. I was so glad that when Ryan was in doubt if he should go or not, I convinced him to go, else, who knows what this coward would have done to her?Ryan put him down and pushed him on the floor, bent down, towering over him and landed the first blow on the coward's face. I swear, I can't even lie, I literally heard a twack like the guy's jaw dislocated.Loraine shrieked in horror at the sound of the jaw popping out of the socket. I rushed to Ryan's side and wrapped my ha
Live Brazenly, Love Loudly “I am sorry about what I said about you and my brother. That is in no way true, I was angry, so I spoke out of turn.” Loraine told me minutes after we settled at the bar. I kept shooting Ryan quick messages if he was okay, but, he wasn't responding to any of them. Maybe, what his sister said got to him, was my initial thought. But, the more I and Ryan got closer, the more I came to the realization that he might not have Sociopathy. The problem then now was, I didn't know what he exactly had that made his display of emotions different from others? I hope I found that out sooner than later, so our relationship could reach its full form with all the chemistry and sparks.“It's okay, honestly. You were angry, so that was a way of venting it all out.” I assured her because one thing about me was I was not one to keep a grudge over petty things.She laughed bitterly and said, “My brother was right though. I am an incredibly stupid person. A god-damned fool who ou
