As I bent to pick up the pen my head collided on with his chest
"Ops…. Sorry…" I said in a low seductive tone while scanning his beautiful body with my eyes
His lips curl as he moistened his lips, something about that awakened something in me..passion....hunger...I don't know I just want to have a taste of his beautiful lips...I want him.
I lost control.
I kissed him slowly at first while slipping my hands into his shirts rubbing his back slowly as I kiss him harder, I push him toward the desk, his back now resting at the edge of the desk, I kissed him roughly..exploring his mouth with my tongue...enjoying every bit of it,then he kissed me back, my eyes widened from emotion that came from it… he kissed me slowly at first… as if confused, then so hard I felt my head spin with satisfaction.
I moaned softly.
Yes…that's it, give it to me.
I frantically undo the button of his shirt as his large hands fumbled with my breast through my cotton shirt…I moaned again as I felt wetness between my thighs…Yes! That's it!..
"I want more" I managed to say against his mouth.
Then…..
"What are you guys doing?!"
The voice shattered the silence like glass.
We both froze.
Slowly, we turned toward the doorway, our hearts still racing.
Standing there, eyes wide with shock.
Rose
I woke up….it's a dream, I hissed, I need this to be my reality minus the part where Rose caught us, of course, maybe this is a sign to go for him I thought.
It wasn't a sign I sniffed as I stared at the book in front of me, me? His plan C?!
I shouldn't have chased this man so shamelessly.
That day, Nathan's second week at work, I went to work with one mission- make Nathan mine no matter what.
Dumb fool.
When I met him in the elevator in the morning I smiled so brightly that he asked why if there was a good news.
"yes, you" I almost blurted out as I press the third floor button and smiled even wider….. so wide that I might have scared him..he looked so confused so I toned it down a bit, I kept looking at his beautiful face throughout the elevator ride and I made sure he noticed, whenever I see him go to the lunch room to get a cup of coffee I hurried out of my office to just watch me at this point he must think I am a psycho…
My heart nearly leaped out of my chest when he finally appeared at my office door I could hardly maintain my composure..
He knocked lightly before stepping in.
Thump…thump my heart beats harder, why does he look so hot?!
Something about the way he walked in made me want to throw myself at him… submit to him…totally.
"Good afternoon, Khloe" he said, holding up a folder "Here's the file you asked for earlier"
An excuse I made earlier to see him and ask him to lunch, I quickly glanced at my wrist watch….perfect timing.
"Thank you" I replied, taking the file, my hands lingering hoping to graze his but he withdrew quickly, I cleared my throat, embarrassed.
He scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Uh… Khloe?"
He's nervous, the thought that he is sent a flutter through my chest, hoping for the obvious…I batted my eyes.
"Yes?"
"May I ask for your help… please?"
Is this it? Did my little 'green lights' tactics actually work, I smiled.
"Of course. What do you need my help with?"
"One of the writers assigned to me is… a bit difficult," he said carefully. "At the rate things are going, I think she might miss the submission deadline"
Hard luck, Khloe
But wait, which of the writers could he be talking about?… we have only one talented and menace writer… JANE!!!
Who assigned Jane to a newbie? Me?
Where's my head at? Wait….it's with him, obviously.
"Which writer?" I asked even though I already suspected the answer.
"Miss Jane."
"Oh… Miss Jane."
He looked slightly relieved that I recognized the problem.
"There must have been a mix-up somewhere," I continued. "I usually don't assign her to new editors. No offense though-I know you're competent. But I also know how… difficult she can be."
Nathan laughed nervously.
"I am starting to realize that."
I sighed "I'll handle it,don't worry"
The relief on his face was immediate.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it."
I hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"If you don't mind… would you like to grab lunch together?"
He glanced at his watch.
"Oh…shoot. It's already lunchtime? I didn't even noticed"
He smiled.
"If it's fine with you… of course"
My heart soared with excitement.
The cafeteria buzzed with quiet chatter and clinking cutlery, I looked around to see if there was an empty seat for us to sit but all I see are spaces occupied by no one but my team members… those lazy bones, Just then I saw Joy laughing at an obviously not funny joke John must have made, she stopped when my eyes met hers… the office laughing gas.
Unfortunately for me, the only available seats were at the table where Rose was already sitting, I wonder why she is not sitting with the other clowns today
She looked up as we approached.
Nathan greeted her with an easy smile, she smiled back.
Since when were they this close?
I thought I was the only one he gives those smiles.
While eating, they started talking as if they've know each other for so long, teasing and playful comments, I scowled when Rose reach out to smack him playfully on his arm again…that sly fox!
I cleared my throat " I hope you are enjoying the food, Nathan" I asked.
" Yes, it's delicious" he said almost quickly, like I was interrupting.
By the time we returned to the office, I was boiling with anger, how do I get back at that….sly fox.
Wait…I will just reassign Jane to her, let's see if she would be able to smile again
Later that afternoon, Nathan returned to my office again.
I was still hurt but I tried not to show it.
"Khloe?" he said, holding a manuscript. "Could I get your opinion on this ending?"
I gestured for him to come closer.
He stepped beside her desk and began reading the final paragraph aloud.
As he handed the manuscript to me to check , his fingers brushed lightly across my palm.
That brief contact sent electricity shot through my body sending shivers down my spine.
I wasn't even sure if he had done it on purpose but… damn…I wish!
He read the last line again
"…and in the end, they realized they could have been together all along."
Before I could stop myself, I murmured softly,
"…we could be together too, you know."
The moment the words left my lips, my heart stopped.
Did I just confess?!
