Chapter 4 - The day is my enemy

"What is going on here?"she asked.
As fast as we could we stopped laughing. We were looking at her like 'nothing happened'. Just like two innocent puppies.
"We were just..."I started but I was very embarrassed. I literally couldn't finish the sentence. I've blocked down.
"You two! To my office! Now!"she ordered with a very strong anger in her voice.
I looked at Tom and I noticed that he was still chuckling.
'No, he can't do this to me' I thought, because chuckling is dangerous for me. If I start to chuckle...there's no going back. I'll laugh all day. And he knew it.
I could hold it inside, hardly,but Tom was literally dying. I punched his shoulder in order to make him stay quiet. Few seconds later he stopped as he felt the heaviness of the situation.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Swan"he apologised, but I knew that this is not going to be alright.
"You know that you two are the most important people in here. I can't stand this way of behaviour."
Mrs. Swan was a very strict woman. She never laughed, never told a joke, you couldn't even talk to her about normal topics, just about work. She was the type of boss everyone hated but, of course, she had a fantastic sense of style and clothing.
"Of course, we know that ma'am"
Trying to make the atmosphere better I decided to say what she wanted to hear.
"Your laughter filled the whole building..."she continued.
"We promise it will not happen again"Tom guaranteed.
"All right then go back to your office and concentrate on your work, will you?"
"Yes, Mrs. Swan, as you wish"
"Leave!"
We left the office immediately, better say we were running away from her. During the huge rush my shoe fell off...nice. What is more, Tom didn't let me pick it up.
"It's too dangerous to go back now!"he told me seriously.
"Come on, Tom, that's my favourite shoe!!!"
"I'll return for it"
"No way! Keep running! Meet you in my office!"
So I turned around and started to run in the opposite direction. I grabbed my lost shoe, put it on and kept looking around. Everyone thought that we were insane. They were right. Almost. We had that fear of Mrs. Swan...we always felt like she was going to murder us one day, though we were her favourites.  There was nothing logical in our relationship with her.
I was running back to my office when I heard her voice...again.
"Rosalie! Why are you running on the corridors?"
"I am sorry Mrs. Swan! I left my shoe"
This time I pretended not to care about her any longer so I went on my way. Finally I reached the office and I almost broke the door when I locked it.
Tom was there, sitting on my desk.
"What's up, runaway baby?"
"I found it!"I shouted pointing at my shoe.
"You are amazing"he clapped slowly.
"Don't be so sarcastic!" I ordered him nearly collapsing into my chair. I was really out of breath because of that big run.
"You know I love you"
"Of course, bro, I love you too"I chuckled.
