Acela

   I get an email don't Jasmine saying she is going on a break and she would want me to come sub for her , I slap my self mentally for wanting to decline when the pay is amazing, I start tomorrow which is Monday and I'm just prepping my self for a week full of Mr Candreva.

I hear the door open and I look up from the couch , I see Samuel and I forgot to mention we just started dating and it's been a week now , he comes in with a smile on his face like he is the man of the hour.

His hands are full of bags and leathers but he holds them open and I run into his arms like it's a safe space, he kisses my neck , " hey beautiful" , he says into my neck and I blush profusely like a rat . I help him by taking some of the bags into my hands and I take them to the kitchen before accessing what types of contraband was brought into my home.

    " what's this for ?" I ask seeing snacks and drinks , " did you forget?" he asks like he is hurt and I want to shake my head to save his feelings but then I'll be lying , I nod slightly feeling embarrassed but then he rushes over to me and he kisses my forehead gently .

" baby , today is date night and since you're such an introvert I brought the date to you" he says and I light up immediately and I hug him ever so passionately then release him because he was beginning to hug more passionately.

I sit on the couch to continue my movie and he sits beside me placing a warm hand on my thigh. I turn to look at him with a smile and a soft hand over his hand that is beginning to move dangerously close to my headquarters of reproduction , " do you know that Jesus died for both our sins?" I ask him all fascinated and he smiles and nods and takes his hand off my leg.

  My phone pings blings and vibrates meaning I'm getting a call , I look towards my phone and see that it is Mr Candreva and my whole sweet mood has gone to shreds. I excuse my self from Samuel and I pick the call.

  "Good evening Sir" I say formally , " Good evening Acela , I need you to come and sort a few files out for me" he says and I hear him shuffling papers in the background , " this night sir?" I ask not even being able to see the sidewalk. " Yes , very urgently" with that he ends the call not even giving me a chance to protest.

  I hurry to get dressed in a black mom Jean that stops a little after my ankle  and a shirt not too big not to small , just the right size. I put on  a black pair of flats and I pick my bag and my glasses throwing my hair into a bun and go back out.

  "Sammy baby , I can't stay , my boss just called me and he needs me to come work. I'm soo sorry" I say all in one breath, " so what am I supposed to do ?" He asks looking defeated , " if you can just wait for me I'll be back as soon as I can, I'm sorry I love you" I say to him placing a soft kiss on his lips then run out.

   I take a cab to his house and swipe the key card I was given as to not disturb him or stress him when ever I am invited over. I get in and see papers scattered everywhere and I mind my step as I walk towards where he is seated. "Sir" I say gaining his attention , he looks up from his glasses pushing down the papers he is currently holding.

   " oh finally , I thought I might die before you finally made it over" , I roll my eyes mentally but still maintain the smile on my face. " Pack up those files over there and bring them here , then sort out the ones that need to be burnt and then shredded or the ones that are completed projects" he says slowly so I get every word.

  I drop my bag on a sofa then get to work. I stand up and I hear a few bones crack from bending for a long time. " how unfortunate I was enjoying the view" I hear from behind me , I snap my neck backwards in incoherent speed and I look towards my boss , " sir?" I ask just to be sure I heard correctly, " you heard me , and you know you heard me" he says not lifting his eyes from his files.

   I sit on the couch to take a break , and he drops his files to look at me. " do you have any beverages? Or food perhaps" I ask feeling my tummy grumble for the thousandth time since I got here, " you want to eat food from the house of a stranger?" He asks , " sir even if you plan to kill me you can't kill me now , who is going to help you with all this work?" I ask him and he smiles , he actually smiles and I wish he smiled more.

  " you should smile more" I tell him while making my way to the kitchen , " if only wishes were horses" he says and I see a glint of emotion flash over his face but for a quick second I could swear that it was sadness. " I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner if you're interested" he says bringing a plate out of the freezer , my widened eyes almost pop out of their individual sockets , " shut up!!! That's my all time favorite" I say loosing my calm and all , he smiles once again and microwaves it.

  He serves me a plate and he does the same for himself, then we sit at the dining table and eat , "mmummmmmm" I exclaim with a full mouth completely swallowing my table manners with my food, " you're quite the chef" I say while taking another spoon full. " can we just forget for this split second that we are employer and employee? Because I feel like you're a really fun person" I say meaning every word.

  " well sometimes feelings can be deceiving" he says still eating his food in peace. " not mine tho , my feelings never lie" I say to him looking him dead in the eye, and he has truly beautiful eyes.
