I stand in Chris office waiting for him to get to work.
Maybe he's not coming today, he's probably still sick.
I look up at the door seeing Chris walk in.
"Hey" he says
"Good morning" I say "are you feeling better ?" I ask him.
"Yes. Again thank you" Chris says. I just smile.
"My I ask what is so important you need to ask me ? Why not ask me right now ?" I say
"Because"
"Because what ?" I say
"Nothing" Chris says to me "how was your weekend ?" He asks me
"It was fine" I replay.
"Are you hungry ?" Chris ask randomly
"Wha-" he cuts me off
"Yeah do you want something to eat ?" He asks me another question, not allowing me to answer the first one.
He's acting very strange. Usually Chris is very calm but he's acting very nervous around me.
Oh my god I know why !
He regrets asking me to stay at his house.
He probably thinks I like him and he wants to fire me. Ugh what was I thinking.
"No I'm not hungry" I say to him.
"Oh but would you like to join me later at lunch ?" He ask
"Sure" i reply. I walk calmly out of his office.
OH MY GOD !!
It was really hard to act like I was unbothered by him asking me to eat lunch with him. Because I'm really excited.
Is this a dream ? Everything is going way to smooth.

Lunch time.
I sit at my desk when Chris walks up to me
"Hey ! stop working. Let's have some lunch" he says
"Wait just need to write one more email" I say
"No" he slams his hand in my computer closing the screen. "We are going now" he says.
I just roll my eyes and get up.
I sit with Chris in his cars as I enjoy the beautiful snowy view.
"I talked to Suzanne" I say starting a conversation.
"Suzanne as in my aunt Suzanne ?" He says
"Yup" I reply "she invited me to have a Christmas dinner with your family" I say
"Really? And what did you say ?" Chris asks. He had his eyes fixed on the road.
"Oh I said I don't know if I can make it" I tell Chris.
"What ?! Why would you do that ?!" He yells. Overreacting.
He clears his throat "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scream, but why aren't you coming ?" He asks me.
"I just feel like its a family thing" I say. Even tho Mr. Carter made me feel like a part of his family, It just feels wrong now. I don't why.
"No please come" Chris begs
I just try and ignore his cry's.
"I don't know anyone there" I say
"You know me" Chris says
"Yeah but that's different I only know you as my boss" I say. I see the look on Chris face he was clearly hurt by my words.
But of course I don't see him just as my boss he s also a great friend, I just don't want things to go further, like I've mentioned before.
❄️
Chris drive to a cafe where we both ordered a salad.
"Y/n I'm not forcing you or anything but you should really come to that Christmas dinner" Chris says as we both are sitting down.
"Why ?" I ask him
"Cause I really want you to there. And it would be great to have someone my age. I'm usually at the kids table with my niece and nephew" Chris laughs
"And if I come, will we both sit at the kids table ?" I ask
"No- you know what I'm not even going to lie to you, we will probably sit at the kids table but at least I won't be alone I'll have you with me" Chris says with a smile.
"Fine I'll come" I say.
"Thank you" Chris says.
After eating lunch we go back to work. I go on with my work and Chris dose the same.
At the end of the day I staid late again doing some extra work when I hear printing sounds coming from Chris office.
I knock at his door and walk in.
"Hey your still working ?" I ask him
"Yeah" Chris says looking a bit stressed
"Everything okay ?" I ask him
"Yeah" he reply's
I know he lying.
"I was thinking about grabbing a drink wanna join ?" I ask Chris
"But it's Monday" Chris says
"I know that's why I need a drink" I say with a Fun smirk. "So you joining me ?"
"Yeah give me 10 minutes" Chris says
"No" I shut his computer like he closed mine earlier. "Now let's go" I say.
Me and Chris get to a bar.
"I'll have some beer. You ?" He looks at me
"I'll just have a margarita" I say
Me and Chris sit and drink. Somehow the drinks kept coming more and more
I don't know how much we both drank on a Monday night but it was a lot.
