Screech screech screech!!!!!!

The noise yelling from your alarm clock woke you up from your peaceful slumber. It was time to go to work, and thank God it was only a short distance from your apartment, otherwise your heavy sleepiness would've made you late. You were just your average working horse, saving up enough to buy a piano. You loved to play the piano, you've had lessons growing up, and it was your only talent. There was but one dilemma; you didn't have one in your apartment, and with you living on the top floor, it was difficult just asking your landlord for permission. The answer you always got was no. You let out a deep sigh, wishing you could just play again. Once you made sure you had everything, you headed off to work. You weren't a Turk, but you worked twice as hard as them. You laminated paperwork, cleaned your desk, and organized files. You had worked there for quite some time, and you knew all the Turks, and they knew whenever you walked into the room. You would always stride to your place of work with such confidence. As you got to to your desk, Reno approached you, and smirked flirtatiously.

"What's up girl? Couldn't help but to notice you from across the hall. I think you're quite gorgeous, and I think you'd look better in my arms." He winked. Ugh. This again. You rolled your eyes at the strawberry haired man.

"Rude! Tseng! You two dared him to ask me out, didn't you?!" You glared at the two Turks hiding behind a hallway.

"Sorry Y/n. If Reno dared me to text Tifa, I had to dare him to ask you out as payback." Rude rubbed the back of his bald head, and adjusted his glasses.

"Rude! You and your big mouth!" Reno looked back at his partner with disbelief.

"Yeah, we're sorry Y/n. We won't disturb you any further. Let's go boys." As the three walked away with Reno putting Rude in a headlock, you sighed and started typing on the computer. This was how your day went. I wonder what the boss looks like. Whatever he looks like, I'm sure he's old and scary looking. He's probably some millionaire brat, from what Reno has told me at least. But what does that jerk know? He's reckless and dumb. You tapped your pencil on the desk, thinking to yourself. This whole time, you haven't thought about what the boss looks like. You knew that the boss himself has a terrible relationship with his father. Well had. For some unknown reason, the dad had disappeared one day, way before you started your employment.

"Miss Y/n? What are you still doing here? It's time to go." Tseng snapped you back to reality. You were so caught up in your work, you didn't realize it was already time to clock out for the night!

"Oh! Thank you Tseng! You go on home, I'll be quite fine on my own!" After Tseng left, you punched your time card into the machine, gathered your purse, and left. As you were leaving, your eyes set upon something big and music like in the entrance hall. A piano!! Seeing that everyone went home, you told yourself it wouldn't hurt to play a little. After all, you did live a short distance from work. And for the next few weeks, you played every night after everyone had gone home, not realizing a man with blond hair had been observing you the entire time. The next night, however, the man watching you thought it was time to introduce himself and meet the girl who's been elegantly playing the piano.

"So you're the reason why I've been in such a content mood." He stood behind you, and you quickly rose to your feet to look him in the eyes. My god, he was absolutely handsome! Your cheeks flushed at the sight of him. And he fits the description that Tseng was telling you earlier! Realizing you were staring at him, you shook your head.

"Im sorry, but what do you mean?" You tilted your head a little. He just laughed.

"Before I get to that, let me ask you: do you know who I am?" He gave you a smile that was sure to make you melt. When you told him you didn't, he held his hand out.

"Rufus. Rufus Shinra. You are?" This sexy well dressed man is the boss?!

"Mr. Shinra!! I am so sorry! I didn't know it was you! I had no idea what your name was, much less what you looked like! Please forgive me for my lack of manners!" You were so embarrassed! This was the man who signs your paychecks damnit!!

"You don't have to act so formal. Mr. Shinra was my father. Call me Rufus. And I take it you're the receptionist girl I hired?" You nodded.

"Yes sir. The Turks have told me about you, but not the basic information." He held his fist to his mouth, as if to hide something, and he spoke again.

"F/n L/n correct? Come take a walk upstairs to my office. Let me explain why I'm in a good mood. As you were walking together, you thought about how it was wrong to feel this kind of way about your own boss. Could this be love?

"You see Miss Y/n, I used to sit next to my mother as she played that same exact piano. And when she died, my father had hired many pianists to play for me in her absence, but I ended up sending them home because they weren't as good as my mother. That is, until I heard it being played a few nights ago. I thought I was going insane, but when I saw you, I just knew you were perfect." Your heart ached for this man. His mother was the only one who was good enough to even be near the piano, and all those pianists angered him. You sat across from his desk in his office, and you knew he trusted you.

"I'm so sorry about your mother. But, what does that have to do with me, if you don't mind me asking?" Rufus leaned over, took your hand, and placed it to his lips, giving it a tender kiss.

"Will you be my pianist?"

I hope you liked that cliffhanger, and who knows when part 2 will be done😜😝 anyways, I hope you enjoyed that, and part two is coming soon to a story near you!!
