Make Me Yours.

Chapter 9.

I wake up to my time alarm but feeling quite excited to go to work. I've got this energy that I've never had before. I definitely feel like it was because of the revamp yesterday. That absolutely made me feel a lot more confident which I'm happy about. I got out of bed and head to the bathroom so I could brush my teeth and do my skincare. I grabbed out my new make-up and decided on a natural look.
These products feel so good. They don't feel cheap and shitty. I was going to curl my hair the way the hairstylist did, instead I decided to straighten it.
I put on a black dress with a tight fit at the bottom that stopped below my knees. The top bit of the dress looked more like a t-shirt for the arms but was a tight fit around my torso.
I was finally ready and once Bandit arrived, I walked outside. "The sudden change, Miss?" He asked, opening the door. I just flicked my hair and gave him a smile that caused him to giggle.
If this doesn't change anything, then I don't know what will.

As I arrive at work, I say my goodbyes to Bandit and head towards the cafeteria. "Mr Banks original please and my original." I say.
I take the two coffees from the front counter as my name was called out after a bit. As soon as I arrive to the top floor.
I walk to Mr Banks office to give him his coffee. Though, he wasn't in his office. "Are you my new assistant?" I hear some one say. I turn around and it was Colby. "No, it's still the same Melissa. Or should I say, Marissa."
"You..you look...different." He says with a confused look. I just looked at him hoping he'd say something else but he didn't. "I'm gonna head to my office. Is there anything you would like me to do for you before I leave?" I asked him as I gave him his coffee.
He parted his lips but before he could speak, someone had spoken before he got to.
"Mr Banks, we have a new employee." I turn around to not only see Mrs Mallory but also Caleb. Ight, ight....okay wtf is going on??
"Good morning sir, I'm Caleb Newton." Caleb said as he looked at me.
"Good morning. I could have sworn I've seen you from somewhere." Colby said as he squinted his eyes a bit.
"I don't think so." Caleb answered with a confused look pasted on his face. "Yeah, you both have." I say cutting the awkwardness. "Where?" They both asked in sync.
"The club..."
"Oh my God, yeah you're right." Caleb says but Colby doesn't react. Instead, he shucks his shoulders and welcomes Caleb.
"Enjoy your first day at Flores. Please come to me for any questions." Mr Banks said to him. Why was he so nice to him and he's a cunt to me. Caleb looks at me and raises his eyebrows. Then walks away.
"Is there anything you want me to do?" I asked Colby as I followed him to his office.
"No, you can go." He replied, without returning eye contact. I remembered, I'm still playing his game. And this was my chance to get back at him. "Email me or text me if you need anything, Colby." I say and he looked up at me with a stern look. I looked at him with a smirk, then exiting out.
I know that wasn't bad arse. So what if I'm not THAT good at playing "games" but, if he thinks he can call me by other names then I'm gonna call him by his first name whether he likes it or not.
I enter my office and before I could close my door, Caleb came by. "Melissa, hey." He says. I ignore him. "You haven't messaged me." He mentioned as he followed me into my office. Yeah fuck. My bad.
"I've been busy." I say looking at my computer. It was all of a sudden quiet until Caleb spoke.
"You look...absolutely beautiful, Melissa."
"Why are you here? Why did you apply for this job?" I asked, now looking right at Caleb. I feel like Mr Banks right now. I remember he asked me the same question on my first day.
"I've applied for this job ages ago, sweetheart." The audacity he had to call me 'sweetheart'.
"You said your GPA wasn't even that high enough to get accepted in great places like this."
"I guess I got lucky." It was awkwardly silent once again. All I wanted to do was tell him to leave my office. If only I had Colby's confidence.
"Maybe we could have lunch together. I mean, I don't know if you're over me or whatever but-"
"Over you? W-what do you mean by that? You thought we were a thing, Caleb? No...we were never a thing. That date, was just a date. We barely even hung out and you complain that I haven't messaged you. Well, neither have you."
"I was just-"
"Yesterday...was the most happiest day of my life and I wish I could go back to that day because right now. Today. It sucks. I thought it would change but it fucking sucks and I want you to leave my office right now." I say, cutting him off with cracks in between my voice. That face he pulled, made me feel bad. He says nothing but turns around and leaves my office.
I inhale, exhaled heavily. I generally thought today was gonna be different. I can't do this. A tear fell down my cheek so quickly, it hit my desk. I lean back on my chair trying to process everything. Until finally, I went back to my work and finished off what I could for Colby.
Later on that day, I get a message from Colby. What does he want now. It read;
