My Cold Blooded Boss

08

Gallen put the bowl on the bedside table and turned at Malik. "How are you feeling now?," He asked him.

"I'm feeling better. Thanks," Malik said to him with a smile. Gallen just nod and gave him his meds. Malik didn't spoke anything and just drink it. Malik, then gave the glass that is now empty to Gallen. He put it on the bedside table beside the bowl.

Gallen move near him and put the back of his palm on his neck to check if he's temperature is still high. "Good thing it's already start to get low," Gallen mumbled. Then he already arrange everything and stood up.

"Just call me if you need anything boss," Malik just nodded so Gallen turned his back and closed the door after he go out.

Malik just stared at the door where Gallen go out. He just rub his face using both of his hands while sighing. The reason why he was burning hot in fever because of the fucking rain yesterday. He forgot to bring his umbrella. He went home last night and Gallen was already sleeping that time.

Instead of taking a bath and change his clothes, Malik head to the kitchen to get some beer. He probably had drink so much. He just want something to refresh his mind.

Because a certain person is starting to invade his mind and so as his poor heart. They just met last two weeks and now, he already can't get him off of his mind. When he still didn't hire Gallen, he will just come home here like 3 to 4 times a year. And now, he's here again after he come home last week.

I won't be shock if someday I'll prefer to live here.

He just buy these house because his mom is pestering him and tell him to have someone in his life. But Malik is too busy to find someone and besides, he can't just pick someone to be his girlfriend or whatever. He's not into it right now.

He just don't know now.

Because Gallen is always in his mind now. He couldn't stop thinking about him even how hard he try.

And he was actually thankful for Gallen for being here, because he might died because of fever if ever he's alone here. After sometime, an idea came up in Malik's mind.

Would he accept my offer if i ask him to go out with me?

Well, it's a date, a friendly date. Malik just sigh and hide under the duvet. He's thinking how will he ask him. And also silently hoping that Gallen will agree.

It's been 4 days and Malik is finally okay. Today is Saturday and Gallen is on the house, doing household chores. Malik just woke up and he just went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and fix his hair. He then went downstairs and he just chuckled inwardly at what he saw.

It's Gallen, and he's using the broom as a microphone as he sings like he's on a concert. Malik move his body a little to the aide where Gallen wouldn't notice him as he keeps watching Gallen reaching the high notes but ended up choking. Malik couldn't held it anymore and laugh loudly, causing Gallen to startle. He looks at the stairs to find Malik watching him. He's eyes widened and he immediately run to the kitchen while his whole face is beet red because of embarrassment.

Malik followed him and held his arm. He lightly pull it to look at him. Malik has an amused expression on his face and Gallen just cover his face with his hand. He felt so embarrassed right now. Why do i think of having a concert in this house?! Gallen wants to laugh at his own thoughts but he also want to smack himself.

"Why are you hiding your face?," Malik asked him. Gallen just looked away while his hand is still on his face. Malik supressed a laugh when he remembered what he witness earlier. Gallen peeked his eyes between his fingers and he saw Malik supressing a laugh. "Stop laughing!!," Gallen whined. Hearing it, Malik burst into fits laugh and mess Malik's hair. He do it mostly to his siblings especially when they're being adorable. And Gallen was the first person that he find adorable.

"How long will you cover your face huh?," Malik asked and tried to take Gallen's hand but he shook his hand to pry away Malik's hand. Malik just sigh and put his hand on his waist and just look at Gallen.

After sometime, Gallen slowly took his hands off. He's still embarrassed but not like earlier. But he can't look at his eyes. "D-Do you need anything?," Gallen asked him.

"Yes,"

"Wha—,"

"I need you to reach the high notes of the song you sing earlier,"

"Boss!!," Gallen stomped his feet on the ground like a kid. Malik just chukled. "J-Just forget it." Gallen grunted. "That's so embarrassing,"

"It's not. You sing well," Malik teased. Gallen gave him a tiny glare but Malik just chuckled more. Gallen looks like a mad kitten. "Gallen," Malik called him.

"What?," Gallen mumbled lowly.

"Coffee?," Malik asked. Gallen's head snapped to look at Mew. "What?,"

"I'm asking you to have coffee with me," Malik finally said.

"Oh,"

"Yeah. So? Wanna come with me?," Malik asked. Gallen but his lower lip while roaming his eyes everywhere. Sometimes he would look at Mew but he'll immediately look away. "Gallen?," Malik noticed Gallen is uneasy. "Is their any problem?,"

"N-No. I-It's just that.." Gallen scratch the his nape.

"That?,"

He sheepishly chuckled. "I-I don't really d-drink coffee," he explained.

"Oh," Malik sighed in relief. He thought Gallen would decline. "That okay,"

"Huh?,"

"I don't drink coffee too," Malik chuckled. Gallen chuckled along with him. "Then why inviting me for a coffee then?,"

"I thought you liked to drink coffee so.." Malik just shrugged. "So what do you want to do?,"

Gallen's brows furrowed. "You don't have a work today boss?," Gulf asked.

Malik shook his head. "No,"

"Oh. Then you have to rest."

"I want to spend time with you,"

That word attacked Gallen's heart. "H-Huh?," He think his mind lagged. "W-What to you mean.. boss?,"

"Drop the boss. I won't allow you to call me boss today. Call me by my name," Malik demanded. Gallen stay stilled when Malik suddenly went near him. His face is getting near his face too.

"B-Bo—," he noticed Malik's expression became serious so he cleared his throat. "I-I mean M-Malik. U-Uh what are you doing?,"

"Why, are you uncomfortable?," Malik's breath smells mint. 

Is he feeling uncomfortable? No. He's not, but he's feeling shy and his inner self is currently dealing to his poor heart that is near to burst from his chest. It's beating damn fast. God, why do i need to have a handsome and hot boss at the same time?

"I-I'm not." Gallen said honestly. Malik just clicked his tongue and stood straight. "Go and change. We'll go somewhere," Malik said to him before turning his back and start walking upstairs.

"W-Where?!!," Gallen tried to ask. Malik turned at him but instead of an answer, he received a wink. A wink that nearly took his breath away.

When Malik is now upstairs. Gallen put the broom back to where he get it with a big smile on his face. He won't deny the fact that he had a huge crush to his boss even though they just met like last last week.

Gallen just drink water from the fridge and he didn't finish it all because it was so cold. He put back the container inside the fridge and throw the water on the sink. Then he went to his room to get ready.
