Dangerous Love

Petra Ramirez

In the past week, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake off Xavier. My mind still lingers to the night at the bar between us. I've tried everything I can do to get him out of my head, but nothing works. Especially since I'm his assistant I'm always around him.

I recently met his sister Elena and brother Axel, who are very sweet. If I'm being honest both of them are very attractive, Xavier did mention that he has two more siblings but I haven't met them yet.

My parents are still in Mexico, they seem to be enjoying their time there. Soon they will be heading back, especially since I can tell that Samuel has been making progress in our relationship.

As I was sitting at my desk eating a snack while on my phone, suddenly Xavier walked up to me sending butterflies straight into my stomach.

Xavier drops off a big stack of files, causing me to raise a brow and glance up at him, "What's this?"

"A lot of files that could be used as...I don't know." He says, shrugging his shoulders.

I rolled my eyes before replying, "So just throw them away."

"What if I want you to throw them away." He says with a small smirk on his face

I shrugged my shoulders before grabbing them, "Fine, even though the paper shredder and trash can are right by you."

He let out a small chuckle before walking away. I took the files to the trash can before throwing them in there. Turning around my eyes landed on a bouquet of roses sitting on my desk.

I furrowed my eyebrows before walking over to the bouquet, I noticed a note peeking out from the flowers, and grabbing the note it said, -Samuel- very cliche.

Rolling my eyes, I opened the note up and read it.

Dear Petra,

I would love to take you out on a date tonight, meet me at the la casa Carlotta restaurant after you get done with work.

Love, Samuel.

Xavier Romano

Looking through some paperwork, I hear a delivery guy come into my office. I looked up at him and raised a brow, "What is it?"

"Is Ms. Ramirez here?" He asked me, I nodded my head as my eyes laid on the large bouquet that was in his hand.

"Who are those from?" I questioned before getting up from my desk and walking over to him.

"There from some guy named Samuel."

Ew, Samuel. What fucking name is that?

I shrugged my shoulders before taking them out of his hand and walking out of my office heading towards Petra's desk. I look over and I see Petra throwing away the files.

God, she is gorgeous. Even from the back. Her hair is naturally wavy today, normally she has it up or straightened.

I placed the flowers down on her desk before turning around and walking away. Once I got into my office I immediately turned around and walked back over to her desk.

"So who is Samuel?" I asked as I pulled up a chair and sat in front of her.

Petra raises a brow, "My boyfriend..Why do you want to know?"

So I can tell him that you're into me even though you're not.

"Just wondering," I tell her before getting up and walking away.
