By the look on his face I knew he wasn't playing so against my better judgement I got into the car. The car was filled with silence. I didn't know what to say or what to do I settled with thank you.
"Thank you Mr.Mitchells"
"Call me Dee Maya I insist"
" I-I-I" I started to stutter.
God what is wrong with me I thought I'm blubbering like an idiot.
"Maya were here" he announced.
I jumped out of the car so fast not even worried about how he knew where I stayed there had to be a logical explanation. One that is worth pondering over later.
As I opened the door to my run down flat and slammed it behind me I said to myself " why must I act like such a school girl around him!" I quickly showered, ate, and got ready for bed today was exhausting and I had a whole week ahead of me, but hey at least Mr. Mitchell's would be out the office. I knew I was lying to myself I wanted to see him. I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
*************************************
Beep! Beeeep! Beep!
I groaned as I heard my alarm for work go off I felt like I just had went to sleep. I rolled out of bed and tried to make myself look presentable to no avail. This was going to be a long day! I thought to myself.
An hour later I walked into the office I notice there was a stack of papers on my desk and a good looking guy waiting as well he was muscular I could tell from the way his Armani suit strained against his broad shoulders he had blond hair and dark blue eyes not as intense as Mr. Mitchell's, but nevertheless he was still gorgeous. "Hello, Maya I'm Travis Lane I will be assisting you this week while Mr. Mitchell's is away on business remember?"
"Oh yeaaa, well it's very nice to meet you I'm Maya Banks" I held my hand out for him to shake.
I sat down and started up my computer and got started on today's work. Having Travis here was a relief he knew all the ins and outs of this company he helped extremely and I was looking forward to working with him for the rest of the week. As if on cue my stomach started growling rather embarrassingly I looked up and saw Travis smirking at me. I laughed.
"Would you like to go to lunch with me Maya my treat? He asked.
I knew I should have turned him down I remember Mr.Mitchell's telling me he would know what's going on in his office blah blah blah, but what could one lunch hurt? "Sure" I said excitedly let me just grab my purse.
"Great I know a fantastic little Chinese place right down the street from here we could walk to" he said.
As we started our way down to the little restaurant I couldn't help but notice Travis hand on my lower back guiding me down the side walk the feeling was so very unfamiliar to me with each step I could feel him caress me more I knew it was just a friendly gesture it had to have been. We were almost there when I started thinking about Mr. Mitchell's how I'd give anything for him to be in the place of Travis right now his hand caressing my lower back him taking me to lunch. His icy blue orbs staring into mine while his full lips..
"Maya where here" Travis said excitedly while removing his hand.
I smiled and walked in. Lunch was spent with mindless chatter and my thoughts of Mr. Mitchell's. I couldn't stop thinking of him and I didn't know why maybe because I didn't even try not to. I couldn't help but wonder if he thought of me in this way as well just as that thought popped up it went away I knew he didn't I mean look at me I wearing slacks for goddess sake I didn't even attempt to put on heels this morning. My long blond hair was up in a messy bun I must admit I should try to do better. After lunch we were back at the office when Travis asked.
"Maya what's wrong you've been in your thoughts all day did I do or saying something wrong?"
I sat down at my desk and looked at Travis "No Noooo not at all" I gave him a genuine smile. "Okay good because I'd like to take you out for lunch again I had a good time today I enjoyed your company"
Against my better judgement I agreed. What was with me and not saying no I needed to practice saying that more often.
The rest of the week was spent with lunch with Travis and thoughts of Mr.Mitchell's with each passing day I grew more and more antsy to see those orbs, to smell his sweet cologne, and to hear his masculine voice.
*************************************
Today is the day! I screamed to no one in general as I hastily got dressed in my standard slacks, blouse and flats. Why am I so excited for HIS return I should feel dread like any other employee would..this feeling of overwhelming excitement is strange I thought to myself as I pulled each curler out of my hair. Soon after I was done I ran out the door not bothering to check my appearance.
I walked into the office and sat at my desk as usual, started up my computer and checked my email nothing nada zilch. I sat back and stared at the computer screen wondering what am I suppose to do with myself until the boss man showed up..
Dee's Pov
I sat patiently waiting for the jet to land as I watched the stewardess make her last rounds before landing I couldn't help but to let my mind wander to the sexy little blonde waiting for me at my office. I was more excited to see her than I wanted to admit to myself. What was it about her there was something different I just didn't know what but I wanted to find out and asap.
I did indeed know her every move this week while I was absent thanks to the security cameras in the office.... I knew she went to lunch everyday this week with that scum temp.. I know they flirted every chance they got and you know what else I know... That this will never happen again because next trip she's coming with me.

Maya Pov
After ten more minutes of sitting and waiting I got antsy so I decided to explore the office this level was shared by Mr. Mitchell's and myself so I didn't have to worry about questioning stares or awkward introductions. I got up and walked slowly past his office the whole wall dividing my desk from his office was made of glass I could see right through to his desk this made me uneasy I'm not sure why. I kept walking until I got to a long hallway with a door on opposite sides I tried the first door on my right I slowly opened the door and peaked in it was a kitchen I closed the door shut and tried the next one on the left but it wouldn't open I tried and tried but It just wouldn't open I was just about to kicked it down when I Mr. Mitchell's spoke. "What are you doing Maya?" He asked questioningly. "Umm I umm I J-j-ju." Christ I exhaled "You just scared me is all!"
"I scared you? He questioned
"I walk into the office and your about to knocked the door down what on earth are you even doing"
I could see he was getting pretty upset so I stammered out quickly. "I was just trying to figure out what's in here you see I was looking for the bathroom and...
He started to approach me he was so close I could smell his minty fresh breath I could feel the heat radiating off of his body. His arm brushed past my front and he slowly put a key into the door and unlocked and pushed it open. I peaked inside it was a janitors closet seriously why would a janitors closet even be locked.
"Are you done playing detective now?" He said harshly I nodded vigorously.
"Good now be in my office in ten" he turned and walked off.
I hurried back to my desk and grabbed my notebook and made my way to his office hoping his mood would lighten up if I was prompt. I pushed the door and walked in he was standing leaning against his desk I slowed as I approached him. "What can I do for you today Mr.Mitchell's?" I asked pencil and notepad in hand.
"First off you can tell me why you and my temp have been flirting?"
