My Insufferable Boss

30

"Stop it" I roll my eyes playfully pushing Nayel's hand off my knee for the 5th time in the last 10 minutes.

"Why?" Nayel stares at me with seriousness. He looks almost offended.

"Need I remind you our colleagues are sitting right behind us," I say making sure I keep my tone low.

Nayel rolls his eyes, "And as I've told you before, I couldn't give a lesser fuck about what they think"

"Ever wonder what it would be like for me if they found out?" I say getting slightly annoyed and Nayel tilts his head, "Firstly, they will never believe this thing between us happened 2 years after I started working for you. Not to mention, anytime I get a promotion or you side with my idea it's going to be because I'm sleeping with the boss. I'm going to have to deal with judgemental stares every day because I'll just be that girl in the office who sleeps to get what she wants"

Nayel's features soften as he squeezes my hand, "I'm sorry, I never thought of it from your point of view"

I shrug, "I just don't want people to perceive me like that because I worked really hard to get to where I am and get them to respect me. I don't want them to just see me as a girl who takes shortcuts."

Nayel nods, "I understand, I would never do anything to make people see you like that because I know that's not who you are. Even if we stop seeing each other, I would never bad mouth you or let anyone at work know what happened between us."

I smile, "Thank you, you're such a good guy" I tease him.

Nayel huffs, "Don't start with me" I giggle as he moves his hand away from mine.

We were currently flying to the city of angels aka Los Angeles for a case, it's a very big case for our firm so 8 of us were traveling together. Nayel got a seat for the two of us so we could sit together instead of getting a three-seater like last time which I was grateful for. Do not want to sit between Nayel and Winston, holy cow would that be awkward.

I giggle to myself thinking about the last time I was on a plane with Nayel and how much I hated his guts. Nayel raises an eyebrow, "What?"

I shake my head smiling, "Just thinking about when we were traveling to San Deigo" a grin appears on Nayel's mouth, "I wanted to push you off the plane"

"He kept flirting with you not even in a good way, in a desperate way. I was pissed off okay?" Nayel shrugs.

"So you decided to piss me off?" I cringe at him.

"It stopped the flirting didn't it?" Nayel smirks.

My eyes go wide, "Wait was that your plan?"

"Maybe" Nayel rolls his tongue on his teeth.

"You're diabolical," I say in disbelief.

"Why thank you" Nayel smirks.

....

"You just gotta look them straight in the eye," Winston says.

I laugh, "Yeah because you're so intimidating right?" sarcasm laced in my tone.

"I'm offended and flattered at the same time" Winston grins at me, showing off his perfect white teeth.

"Props to you though, you somehow freak people out in the courtroom even with that polite smile plastered on your face" I tilt my head to my side.

Winston grins, "Well thank you, I try"

"I feel like I'd be such a shite lawyer, I'd probably start sobbing the minute someone doesn't agree with me" I sigh, "Man I really should've thought this through before wasting so many years of my life and money on my law degree" I joke.

Winston smiles at me, "Hey now don't undersell yourself. You can be an amazing lawyer if you want to be and if not there are so many things you could do. Don't worry about it" He touches my arm reassuringly.

"I don't know" I shrug, "But thank you"

"Winston we did not come to L.A for you to sweet talk women. I did not make you responsible for this case just to watch you fuck it up. Get back to work" Nayel barks scowling at Winston.

Winston makes a face and I smile at him apologetically as he walks away from me. I instantly switch my gaze over to Nayel, shooting daggers at him. Nayel just rolls his eyes getting back to work. Why does he have to be a dick sometimes?

....

I slip into my emerald green pajama sleeveless tank top and shorts that fell only a few inches below my ass. I brush my hair putting it in a ponytail then brushing my teeth, taking off any leftover makeup I had on my face stepping back into my hotel room.

I jump in surprise when I see Nayel sitting on my bed waiting for me, my hand was on my chest, "Jesus Christ you scared me" I exclaim.

"You're the dumbass who didn't lock her door, you're lucky I'm the one who walked in and not someone else" Nayel's eyes run up and down my body.

"Still haven't you heard of knocking?" I roll my eyes at him. Nayel simply leans forward grabbing my hips pulling me in between his legs making me gasp.

"I did knock, you were in the bathroom" Nayel's eyes grow darker as his hands fall from my hips to my ass and he squeezes it gently in his palm, "You look hot baby" Nayel groans.

I push his hands off my body and move away from him, "No, no. I'm pissed at you" I say crossing my arms.

Nayel scowls, "Why?"

"Why do you have to be a dick to Winston all the time?" I frown.

Nayel scoffs, "Really?"

"Yes really" I shake my head, "I understand that you believe in not being nice to people who work for you because of authority or whatever, I don't agree with you but it's worked for you so I guess you do you. But you're extra dicky to him and I feel like it's because of me which makes me feel like utter shit. Stop doing that."

"It wasn't about you, he was wasting his time when he should've been preparing for the case" Nayel grunts. I raise my eyebrow speculatively, saying "are you for real". Nayel sighs, "He's into you and he wants you. It's just stupid."

"You can't get jealous like that over any guy I'm making a conversation with" I narrow my eyebrows.

"I'm not jealous, he just irritates me" Nayel rolls his eyes.

I sigh, I move to him wrapping my arms around his neck and straddling his lap, "I don't know what language tyrant's speak" I joke causing Nayel to roll his eyes as he holds onto my hips making sure I don't fall off his lap, "I like Winston but I never was nor will I ever be into him. He's my friend." Nayel's face eases up at my words.

I run my fingers on his cheek, "For whatever insane reason, you're the only man I want so please control yourself and be nicer to him. For me?" I pout.

"I can't be any nicer to him than my other employees" Nayel shrugs, "But I'll try not to be a dick to him when he's not doing anything"

I smile, "Thank you"

Nayel licks his lips, "You owe me" squeezing my waist.

"What can I do for you Mr. Nayel?" I say seductively.

Nayel groans, "Stop" He bites his lower lip.

"Or what sir?" I bat my eyelashes at him playfully.

"Don't start something you can't finish" Nayel grunts, his eyes lingering on my lips, his hands falling to my ass making me gasp.

I smile leaning in and pressing my lips against his.
