"You sure seem to be comfortable around Scarlett, I saw the look she gave you. Not a lot of people test her and I can tell you'll do just that" the woman smirked as we made our way to the bathroom, my eyes going comically wide. "But I didn't do anyt-" "You don't have to do anything for someone to notice. It's so obvious, you're still blushing and it's been like five minutes now. And be honest, you don't really need the bathroom do you, you just wanna get out of her spell, trust me it's way harder than it seems" she chuckled at my red face and I frowned slightly as we just wandered around HQ.
"Oh don't worry, we've had our moments but we're better off as friends, used to mess around when the business first started you know, the contsant buzz and never any down time, although she went down many times, cnotrol freak" the woman rolled her eyes and raised a smug eyebrow as I drew in a sharp breath. "Like I said, better off as friends, I actually just got engaged and she's got her own little full house, we agreed to wrap it all up and sweep it under the rug, nothing wrong with wanting to keep dignity. It's just one of those stories to laugh about when you're drunk" she chuffed humorously and we walked back to the main area where the group previously was but there was no one anymore. We walked a little more just to see everyone in their own little working world and then there was Scarlett. The actress was in her office on a very intense phone call.
"Looks like your boss isn't too happy, go see what she's on about and good luck, you're gonna need it, she's quite the freak in the sheets" the slightly older woman giggled childishly as she walked over to what looked like a planning room where a few other associates were. Great. I let out a sigh and turned to Scarlett'ss office where she was on the phone and I swear to god her angry voice was something else. She was hot. I tore my eyes away from her when hers snapped towards me. Oops...But I couldn't look away for long because something in me was nagging to look back at her, was she angry with me? Is she okay? Snapping out of my thoughts, I hesitantly met her piercing eyes and she beckoned me over. Oh fuck.
She moved the phone away from her mouth for a second and spoke lowly and affirmatively to me, "This is not to be told to anyone else understood" I nodded my head and bit my lip, her free hand coming up to release it, "words pretty girl" "Yes Miss Johansson" she had this wild look in her eyes but continued her conversation on the phone. "Colin I know she's with me this weekend you don't have to remind me for gods sake, she's my child" she pinched the bridge of her nose and spoke again this time with a hint of annoyance"No I don't care about what your parents had planned, you know how our weeks and weekends go. It is not my fault if you still haven't told them we're not together" "You signed the papers, you agreed to how this would work, I am not to blame if you don't talk to your parents. I'm hanging up" she ended the call with a low growl and I was lowkey just staring at her lips the whole time she was tlaking. the blonde let out a breathy groan and I just had to ask. Probably the most stupidest thing at this time but oh well, it shows I care.
"Are you okay Miss Johansson" I asked timidly and she offered a small soft smile. "Yeah, just a few things going on, sorry for calling you in, I just needed someone there" she let out a defeated sigh and I smiled in return nervously opening my arms for a hug. You never know. She rolled her eyes playfully but hugged me anyway, her arms looping aroud my lower back, gentle handsresting on my ass. If this was a different situation I would be a mess. We broke out of the hug and I could see the gears turning in her head. "Why don't I take you out for lunch today, get your mind off things? I'm not that much of an asshole to see someone upset and not do anything about it" i offered and she chukled dryly, "I'd love that pretty girl, but I'm paying"
"Um no you're not, did you not understand the part where I said I would take you out?" I rolled my eyes but froze when she took a step closer and her hands gently but firmly grabbed my chin, "Roll your eyes one more time and we'll have an issue. Am I understood" she warned and it took everything in me not to make a comment. "Yes Miss Johansson" I mumbled but she never let go of my chin, instead used the position to run a thumb over my lip, "Use your fucking manners and speak up next time. I'm being nice here, you'll learn how to behave eventually either the easy way or the hard way, it's up to you" she directed lowly and my knees literally felt like jelly. She was so close I could a, practically see down her top and b, the smell of her perfume was intoxicating. I let out an involuntary whimper and there she was with that crazy look again.
"Now now pretty girl, patience" she tutted and stepped back, grinning like a crazy motherfucker and I could feel my face flush. "Stop teasing me" I huffed and she just laughed innocently, grabbing her keys and purse, "Do you wanna go for a drive before midday? There's not much in the office today so I say we take a spin and then catch lunch on the way back" she swung her keys through the loop on her pointer finger. Even that was sexy. "Um sure" I cracked my knuckles and I saw her jaw tense. "Lets go then" she grabbed my hand and lead us out of the office floor, but not before giving Kate a smirk. What the fuck am I missing. "Have fun you two and be safe, both hands on the wheel Scarlett" the former friend called out as we walked over to the elevators. "Both hands on the wheel hey? Who else have you fucked in the car?" "Well look at you, being all brave and putting up a little bark, wouldn't you like to know pretty girl"
Why did i offer lunch. Lord save me this woman is going to make me into a complete melted mess of foolery. Fuck her and her dominating energy.
