Her Innocent Intern

CHAPTER 15:Dinner

Maya's POV:

It's been 1 week since Natasha made me cry.

I was avoiding her now and stop asking her to talk to me, I would just talk to her when it's about important things for work. Carol and Wanda are there when they saw me cried, they helped me to calm down and told me to just stop wasting my time on Natasha.

Which I did, that's why I just walk past to her keeping my head down whenever I will see her. But now, I feel like all the tables have turned as she is the one who would want to talk to me when she sees me, I would talk to her because I don't want to be rude, but she always just talks about works and how I am doing, as she made a promise to my sister to look out for me.

But, whenever she would talk to me, I feel like there's more than what she says, I feel like, she wants to say more things but just can't let the words out.

On the other things, it has been great! I made friends to other people in the office they are all great actually, and Sarah had began dating the girl she like, which is im happy for her about.

Wanda and Carol has been there for me whenever I would have an asthma attack, which always happens now starting from when Natasha made me cry, I had an asthma attack that time, which is really hard for me because my sister or parents were not there, thank god I didn't fainted.

Now, im here doing my work, while Carol is at my side begging me to come with her for dinner. I'd love too, but I don't think I can because of all this works. She's been bugging me since yesterday, and I already told Sarah about it, she said this is Carol's way of asking me out, which is I found weird as me and Carol are just friends.

"Come on Maya, you can just finish them in another day." She said, more like whining.

"But I have to finish this, or else Ms. Romanoff will be mad at me again." I tried to reason.

"I'm really sorry, maybe next time, I promise." I said smiling.

"What about.... I help you with that?" She ask more like an idea.

"But it's for me to work on, besides don't you have things to do?" I ask curiously.

"No, im all done, now tell me what to do." She said sitting up looking at my desk.

"No, seriously, it's okay. You know, we can just do that dinner in another day." I looking up at her since she's more taller than me.

"Nope, really, come on, if you don't let me then I will be mad at you." She said in really serious tone glaring at me.

My heart started to pump faster at her tone and words. I don't want anyone mad at me, she knows that. The tone of her voice and the glare she's giving me, scares me. It's making me nervous.

"O-okay, im sorry." I said looking down.

"Okay, good, now let me do some of your work."

With that we started working together on my works. I always catch her looking at me here and there, which is weird and I feel slightly uncomfortable at the stares she's giving me. But, I chose to ignore it anyways.

"Okay, now come on, I already booked us a restaurant." She said as I packed up my things.

"I-im just wearing this? I-is this o-okay?" I said.

"Yeah, it's okay. Now, come on, their food there is really amazing, you will like it." She said tugging my hand.

"Wait- uhmm, I should tell Wanda first, so she knows where im gonna be if Sarah would ask her, or Natasha..." I said.

"Okay, fine, I'll wait here." She said.

After I told Wanda about it I made my way to Carol and we made our way to the lounge area.

"Hey, Robert." I greeted my bodyguard, which he return.

"Hey, Miss. Maya, are you ready?" He ask.

"Uhmm, actually I will eat dinner with Carol here, so I was thinking if you could give us a ride-" I said but cut off by carol.

"No, it's okay, I have a car, you can go home Robert, I promise I will take care of Maya." Carol said.

"Sorry, but im not allowed to leave her in any circumstances, Miss." Robert said.

"Look, Robert, I know you're just doing your job, but trust me, I will take care of maya and I will bring her home safely." Carol said, and in the tone of her voice I can tell that she's getting annoyed.

"Robert, it's okay, I will be fine. You can leave. I'll just give you a call if something ever happens and if I need you." I said giving him a reassuring smile.

After that he agreed and Carol lead me to her car and we made our way to the restaurant. All along the ride, Carol's hand is on my thighs, which made me really uncomfortable in so many ways. I always tried to take it off, but she just always put it back as if she doesn't get the signs that I don't want her doing that.

After a while, I just let her seeing I can't do anything about it anymore and I don't want her to be mad at me.

We arrived at a fancy private restaurant, and we made our way to our designated seat. After that we ordered our food and just talk while eating.

"Hey, here, this is their best wine in here, you should try it." She said giving me a half glass of wine.

"U-uhmm, I-I uh I.. I don't drink, im not allowed to." I said looking at her.

"Oh come on, don't be a kill joy for once, just try it, trust me it's really good." She said.

"B-but, what if my parents-" I tried to talk but cut off by her.

"Who cares about your parents? Their not here, come one maya, loosen up a bit, you're already 18." She said getting impatient.

"S-sorry, i-im just...not really allowed to drink." I said looking down while gazing at her through my lashes, afraid that she will be mad at me. Which she did, because she hardly bring down the glass infront of me.

"It's just this once maya. If you don't drink that, im not gonna be your friend anymore, do you want that?" She said looking at me.

"N-no." I said getting nervous.

"Then drink, just this once."

With that I slowly bring the glass in my mouth and let the burning taste of the wine slid down on my tounge through my throat. It has a weird taste, well, this is the first time I drink, but im sure that it really has a weird taste.

"There you go, it's not that bad is it?" She said smiling at me, which I weirdly return.

My whole body suddenly felt warm, really warm and it feels fuzzy, the taste of the wine stayed in my tounge making me crave for more even though it has weird taste.

"Come on, I know you want more, here, let's cheers." She said which I did and drink again.

Honestly, I don't feel like myself anymore, but, I feels good in some ways so I just let it.

Somehow, we ended up in a really loud place with so many people kissing, drinking and dancing.

My whole body feels fuzzy and warm, while my mind is everywhere, I can't control my body anymore, but thank god Carol is here to help me walk straight.

I hope nothing bad will happen.
